Building nuclear bombs has always been an idea Chen Feng has had.

According to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, other countries cannot sell nuclear weapons to others.

Even if they could sell it secretly, given Jack and his cronies' international influence, it wouldn't be enough for a country to secretly sell Jack nuclear weapons.

As for stealing from other countries, the risks are even greater.

Even if he reached the Foundation Establishment, he wouldn't be confident he could steal the nuclear weapons.

The safest way is to build it yourself.

After sending the question mark, Lin Wei sent another message:

Are you sure you're not joking?

Lin Wei was clearly surprised by Chen Feng's question about building nuclear bombs.

Chen Feng: "I just wanted to investigate whether you could build it?"

Lin Wei: "Making nuclear weapons isn't that difficult, but do you know why no other country in the world has tried?"

"Because they'll be discovered by others before they even get their hands on them. The first thing they'll discover is the key equipment for uranium enrichment—the large centrifuge. This equipment generates a lot of heat and energy consumption just by operating it."

"Some major powers are able to detect this phenomenon via satellite, and the supply chain of nuclear materials is also strictly regulated; these two problems are simply unsolvable."

Lin Wei pointed out the difficulties in nuclear weapons manufacturing.

Only a handful of countries in the world possess nuclear weapons today. Even if some small countries have nuclear weapons, it was because they acquired them before those treaties came into effect.

Now, if you want to secretly build nuclear weapons, you'll be discovered by a major power before you even start.

"What if we use centrifuges without being detected? Is it feasible for me to directly obtain a batch of uranium-235 as raw material, like uranium-235 for nuclear power plants?"

Chen Feng asked several questions in succession.

Centrifuges can be detected when they are running because they are on Earth.

If he builds the nuclear factory in the Painting Scroll World, no one will be able to find it.

As for uranium-235, he can get some from small nuclear power plants. The scope of nuclear weapons is very tight, but nuclear power plants are relatively less tight.

Lin Wei sent a message after a long time:

"If you could buy uranium-235 from a nuclear power plant, you might as well buy a uranium enrichment centrifuge from the plant. With a little modification, you could increase the concentration of uranium-235. But what you're saying isn't realistic."

"Because no country would sell uranium enrichment centrifuges to individuals."

Chen Feng's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Wei's message:

"You mean you can modify it?"

Lin Wei: "Of course, modifying a uranium enrichment centrifuge is very simple, but can you buy one? Let me make it clear beforehand, I am a peace-loving researcher and will not do anything to disrupt human peace."

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to you in detail when I get back to China." Chen Feng said, ending his chat with Lin Wei.

He already has a preliminary plan.

This nuclear power plant needs a visit. Both the uranium enrichment centrifuges and uranium-235 inside are key to the production of nuclear weapons.

Chen Feng then called Jack.

The call connected quickly, and as soon as it did, the sound of artillery fire came from Jack's end.

"Boss!" Jack's voice was filled with excitement.

Chen Feng asked, "Have they already started fighting?"

Jack immediately said:

"That's right, we've just been attacked by armed forces from two warlords."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Chen Feng said and hung up the phone.

He has to go there; if Jack isn't confident of winning, he'll take care of those two warlords.

In this way, Jack can also completely control the Golden Triangle.

The Golden Triangle is a flat plain.

Ten thousand allied soldiers from the two warlords are fighting Jack here.

This force of 10,000 coalition troops carried seven tanks and three infantry fighting vehicles.

Compared to the massive number of the Allied forces, Jack's side only had three thousand men.

After the two sides encountered each other in this plain, they immediately engaged in a fierce firefight.

But as the fighting progressed, the coalition forces realized something was wrong.

Because they discovered that Jack's side also had tanks, and even self-propelled artillery.

And their numbers are even greater than theirs.

As soon as their hands clashed, the allied forces were at a disadvantage.

Jack's side is using the PLZ-05 self-propelled howitzer, which was independently developed by Dragon Country.

This self-propelled artillery has a caliber of 155 mm, a range of over 50 kilometers, and is capable of automatic ammunition loading.

Not only was its range long, but its power was also immense. In less than ten minutes of fighting, the coalition forces suffered nearly a thousand casualties.

Under these circumstances, the coalition forces did not choose to continue fighting, but instead began to withdraw.

Their tanks and infantry are products of the last century and simply cannot reach that far.

The two sides were not evenly matched in terms of equipment.

"Boss and the others have retreated!" one of the henchmen shouted to Jack.

The battlefield was filled with the sounds of artillery fire.

Even after the Allied forces withdrew, Jack's side continued to fire.

Jack immediately said, "Stop firing! Are you saying the shells are free?"

This time, only a little over seven hundred shells were purchased.

Each shell costs at least tens of thousands of yuan, and even better ones can cost hundreds of thousands.

That cost a lot of money, how could Jack not feel bad about it?

Upon hearing Jack's words, the henchmen immediately stopped firing.

Jack examined the area through the binoculars for a moment, then said:

"They must have returned to their base. Let's give chase!"

Jack, of course, wouldn't let it go so easily.

He's been feeling incredibly frustrated these past few days; these warlords have been searching for them throughout the entire territory.

Now that they have the heavy equipment they purchased from Dragon Country, they're definitely going to teach these warlords a lesson.

After Jack gave the order.

The entire force began to move out, with ten self-propelled artillery vehicles at the very front.

On the flanks were ten armored vehicles, and at the very back were five Type 99 tanks.

At the very center of the formation was a missile launcher.

In the previous engagement, Jack only used self-propelled artillery; he didn't use tanks or missile launchers.

The United Wa State Army, within its military base.

Kunning and Luohan are in the operations room.

Kun Ning and Luo Han have been entrenched in the Golden Triangle for decades, wielding immense power.

Although the Golden Triangle is located at the junction of three countries, none of them have ever interfered in matters here.

This is mainly because the Golden Triangle region is too chaotic, with numerous warlords.

Furthermore, the complex terrain of the Golden Triangle allows them to engage in various diversionary tactics against the government forces of the three countries.

Sometimes, when the government forces of the three kingdoms launched large-scale military operations to suppress these warlords, the warlords would hide in towns and cities.

To avoid excessive casualties, the governments of the three countries also abandoned the campaign to eliminate the warlords.

This is why the chaos in the Golden Triangle has persisted to this day without being resolved.

Other countries can't just offer help without considering the location, as this is the border area between three countries.

The three Southeast Asia countries would naturally not agree to other countries getting involved.

In the conference room, Kunning and Luohan were looking at a television screen in front of them.

The person on the screen was none other than George.

George said:

"You can't kill Jack, you have to capture him. My men will pick him up at the port on the Mekong River."

Kunning chuckled and said:

"Chief George, that's certainly not a problem. My men are already engaged with Jack's men and will bring him back soon. I just don't know when the aid your Eagle Sauce Country promised us will arrive?"

Kunning was a portly man whose military uniform was so bulging it looked like it was about to burst.

The Arhat next to him was the complete opposite; the Arhat appeared very capable.

He was fiddling with a Colt Python revolver.

George frowned and said:

"We Eagle Sauce Country, will naturally fulfill our promises. Once Jack is handed over to us, the aid supplies will arrive!"

These two warlords are making outrageous demands this time.

They want not only military equipment, but also US dollars.

They even wanted the Eagle Sauce Country to declare their two warlord armed groups legal on the international stage.

The aforementioned conditions are nothing to the Eagle Sauce Country.

It's just money; the Eagle Sauce Country doesn't lack it.

But the second requirement is simply impossible.

How could a small warlord force in the Golden Triangle possibly dream of having Eagle Sauce Country recognize their legal status?

There are countless countries that want to be Eagle Sauce Country, and this kind of warlord force is not qualified.

Luo Han, standing to the side, shook his head and said, "No, it has to be a one-way street. Jack won't hand over the goods until they're delivered."

Rohan showed George absolutely no respect.

Upon hearing this, George's face immediately turned extremely ugly, but he still nodded and said:

"Sure, we'll exchange the goods for the person."

Now George can only endure it, because they can only rely on these two warlords to deal with Jack.

If it weren't for Dragon Country's presence in Southeast Asia, the Eagle Sauce Country wouldn't have needed to worry about anything and would have simply sent military forces over.

Just then, a coalition soldier rushed in in a panic.

"General, something terrible has happened!"

Upon seeing someone barge in, Kuning and Luohan both looked extremely grim.

They're currently on the phone with George, and their cooperation with the Eagle Sauce Country definitely needs to be kept secret.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you not to come in?" Kunning picked up his pistol and pointed it at the soldier who had barged in.

The soldier immediately knelt on the ground in fear and said:

"General, Jack has led his men and they're already at the foot of the mountain where our base is!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was visibly taken aback.

Luo Han narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you say? Jack has brought his men here."

He dispatched a force of 10,000 men to deal with Jack, complete with tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and other equipment.

Taking down Jack will be a piece of cake.

Instead of hearing news of Jack's capture, we've heard that Jack led his men to storm their base.

He even thought he had misheard.

"According to reports from the front, Jack and his men not only have tanks but also self-propelled artillery. Their equipment is far superior to ours; our tanks simply don't have the same range."

The soldier quickly explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Kunning and Luohan stood up from their seats at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief.

"He has self-propelled artillery, where did he get it?"

Self-propelled artillery, such heavy firepower equipment, is not so easy to obtain.

Moreover, self-propelled artillery with a range far exceeding that of their tanks is no ordinary equipment.

"It's true. Our frontline troops have already withdrawn to their posts. Jack could attack the posts at any time. General, you should give the order immediately," the soldier said, his face pale.

Kunning immediately gave the order:

"Notify all garrison troops to prepare for a counterattack. Also, send helicopters to observe Jack and his men's situation!"

As a warlord force in the Golden Triangle, they did not possess fighter jets.

But there are still several armed helicopters.

The soldier nodded and quickly withdrew.

Quinn looked at George in the video with a furious expression.

"Chief George, this is different from the intelligence you gave me before. Where did Jack get the self-propelled artillery and tanks?"

George on the other end of the video was also somewhat stunned; he was shocked by the news.

According to the information he gathered, Jack possessed at most some individual combat weapons.

How could such heavy equipment suddenly appear?

"I'll go ask someone from Blackwater Company," George said, and the video call was abruptly ended.

Luo Han looked at Kunning with a gloomy expression and said:

"With Eagle Sauce Country's capabilities, they could have easily captured Jack by sending in agents. Why did they need to spend money to hire us? Now it seems Jack isn't simple either; we shouldn't have gotten involved."

Luohan now realized that something was wrong.

He hadn't realized it before, but now that Jack suddenly had tanks and self-propelled artillery, things were different.

There must be someone behind Jack.

Kunning thought for a moment and said:

"Let's wait for news. First, let's see where Jack got his equipment."

At this moment, both of them felt somewhat uncertain.

We can only wait for news from the FBI.

Meanwhile, Black Widow was leading a group to track Jack and his crew.

She arrived with her men while Jack was fighting the Combine.

After all, the commotion here is quite significant.

Black Widow had already spotted the rows of armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery in Jack's ranks through her binoculars.

Her face was filled with horror.

"Where did he get so much heavy equipment?"

Black Widow did not recognize the model of those self-propelled artillery pieces.

But its heavy tracks and long gun barrel clearly indicate that it is no ordinary self-propelled artillery.

At that moment, an intelligence officer next to him handed him his cell phone.

"Sir, Chief George is contacting you."

Black Widow took the phone; the screen displayed George's name.

George said angrily:

"Why didn't you tell me this information? Where did Jack get all this equipment?!"

George was furious; Black Widow had been stalking Jack the whole time.

Now Jack suddenly has so much equipment, yet he hasn't received a single word about it.

Black Widow said calmly:

"I just found Jack myself. My men were killed by Jack, so we gave up tracking him. It was less than two hours in between."

Hearing this, George became even more confused.

Where did Jack get all this equipment in less than two hours?

Black Widow immediately said:

"I just observed that Jack has at least ten self-propelled artillery pieces and ten armored vehicles, and their firepower is extremely powerful. Those two warlords have no chance against him."

Black Widow deduced this from the equipment Jack possessed.

The warlords in these two Golden Triangles could never be rivals.

The difference in equipment was simply too great.

"Chief George, I think there might be some unknown forces behind Jack. This is beyond Blackwater Company's control. I'm preparing to leave," Black Widow said.

She was no longer able to deal with Jack in this situation.

With such firepower, these men would have no chance against them.

The best course of action is to evacuate and return to the company as soon as possible.

Moreover, Black Widow had already guessed that the only country in Southeast Asia capable of producing so many self-propelled artillery pieces was probably that great Eastern power.
