The battle outside the manor ended quickly.

Overwhelmed by sheer numbers, even the most skilled Navy SEALs are rendered useless.

Inside a room in a villa.

Chen Feng was sitting on the sofa, with Jack, Black Bear, and others in front of him.

Jack respectfully said to Chen Feng:

"Boss, we've confirmed it. The people who came to attack were Navy SEALs, over two hundred in total!"

Jack was quite surprised to learn that the other party was a Navy SEAL.

He hadn't expected that the Eagle Sauce Country would even mobilize the Navy SEALs.

This is a genuine intention to fight him to the death, but Jack isn't as afraid of the Eagle Sauce Country as he used to be.

After becoming a master of Xiantian level, he gained confidence.

If you push him too far, he'll go straight to the House of Representatives and teach those Eagle Sauce Country congressmen a lesson.

Jack couldn't help but laugh at the thought of himself stepping on a senator to suppress the Eagle Sauce.

The black bear next to him saw Jack suddenly grinning foolishly and immediately nudged him to alert Jack.

Jack immediately snapped out of his daze and quickly stood up straight.

Chen Feng then asked, "How much of the supplies have been delivered from Dragon Country?"

Chen Feng had no interest in the people who had come to attack him.

Without the use of heavy firepower, the Eagle Sauce Country simply cannot pose a threat to the Golden Triangle.

However, if the Eagle Sauce Country wants to use military force in Southeast Asia, Dragon Country will not stand idly by.

Jack replied;

"More than 20 billion worth of supplies worth 60 billion have already been delivered and are currently stored in the warehouse."

Jack was actually quite surprised by Chen Feng's purchase of these supplies.

The things Chen Feng wanted to buy were mostly related to infrastructure.

Jack originally thought that Chen Feng intended to transform the Golden Triangle.

But he discovered that Chen Feng didn't have this idea.

If the goal was to transform the Golden Triangle, then this would have been arranged long ago.

Chen Feng nodded. "Are there people from Dragon Country in the Golden Triangle?"

Jack nodded:

"Yes, Colonel Zhang is leading a team in the Golden Triangle investigating matters related to extraterrestrial technology."

Jack tacitly approved of this.

He would definitely intervene if other countries came to investigate in the Golden Triangle, but it was different with Dragon Country; he didn't care about Colonel Zhang and his group.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and then said:

"Go and contact the people in Dragon Country, and tell them you want to buy intercontinental ballistic missiles."

Upon hearing this, Jack was immediately taken aback.

Intercontinental ballistic missile!

These are no ordinary missiles; each intercontinental ballistic missile is a strategic-level weapon.

Even if they have a very good relationship with Dragon Country, they wouldn't sell them this kind of weapon.

"Boss, they probably won't sell you intercontinental ballistic missiles," Jack said tactfully.

Chen Feng said with an unchanged expression:

"We don't buy ICBMs with nuclear warheads, only those with conventional warheads. I remember there were some books left over from the auction; give them those books as a condition for purchasing the ICBMs."

Countries will definitely not sell intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.

However, intercontinental ballistic missiles with conventional warheads are still a possibility.

As for the books he left for Jack, they were all low-level Cultivation Practice Method for martial artists in the Painting Scroll World.

The texts in those books are of immense research value to the people at the Dragon Academy of Sciences.

Jack nodded in agreement. "Okay, boss, I'll contact Colonel Zhang right away!"

Chen Feng stood up and then said:

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Chen Feng planned to go find Harvey and ask him about tritium.

This stuff is a key ingredient in making hydrogen bombs.

Just as Chen Feng left the villa, his phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Li Xiaorou calling.

Chen Feng answered the phone, and Li Xiaorou's voice came through:

"Boss, where are you now?"

Li Xiaorou's voice was clearly filled with joy, after all, getting through to Chen Feng on the phone was not an easy thing for her.

"Is something wrong outside?" Chen Feng replied calmly.

Li Xiaorou immediately said:

"The product launch is tomorrow, boss, can you come?"

With the help of Liu Mu's connections, Xingfeng Group's anti-cancer drugs were directly approved and are now ready for market.

Li Xiaorou is also very much looking forward to this press conference; the release of the anti-cancer drug will surely cause a global sensation.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "I'm busy for now, but I'll watch this press conference."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaorou was visibly disappointed:

"Okay, when are you coming back?"

Chen Feng: "I'll be back in a while. Do your best at the press conference. I believe in you."

Li Xiaorou's energetic voice came through. "Boss, don't worry, I'll definitely get it done."

Without speaking to Li Xiaorou for long, Chen Feng hung up the phone.

At the Manor Research Institute, Chen Feng found Harvey.

Upon hearing that Chen Feng had come to see him, Harvey's face showed unease.

He already knew that Chen Feng was the initiator of their research project.

The other party can decide who can participate in this research with a single word.

His previous stance was that he disagreed with manufacturing weapons, which worried him greatly, as Chen Feng might expel him from the project because of this.

"Professor Chen, is there something you need from me?" Harvey asked Chen Feng nervously.

Chen Feng said calmly:

"I heard that you're the one supplying the institute with tritium. Where did you get it from?"

This is what Chen Feng found puzzling.

If Harvey is still a top expert in the Eagle Sauce Country, then obtaining some tritium through Eagle Sauce Country channels would naturally not be a problem.

Harvey has now moved to the Golden Triangle and no longer enjoys such status and privileges.

Upon hearing that Chen Feng was referring to this matter, Harvey's expression immediately relaxed, and he quickly said:

"This is tritium stored in my friend's lab. Physics-related labs like ours usually store a lot of this substance. Although tritium is strictly managed, it's not difficult for those of us working in labs to obtain it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng understood and asked:

Is there a way to buy in bulk?

Harvey nodded. "Sure, buying it is definitely not a problem, but I have a suggestion."

"You say."

Harvey continued:

"We'll need a lot of tritium to manufacture fusion batteries in the future, and buying it from my friends alone won't be enough. I think we should build a tritium production plant."

Actually, even if Chen Feng hadn't brought it up, Harvey was already planning to mention it to Lin Wei.

Tritium is a regulated substance, and only small quantities can be obtained through certain channels; it is impossible to acquire large quantities.

Chen Feng asked, "You know how to do it?"

Harvey immediately laughed:

"Professor Chen may not know, but I've studied tritium before and am very familiar with how this radioactive isotope is produced. Generally, tritium is obtained through nuclear reactors, but there's another way: bombarding lithium with neutrons can also produce tritium."

"We only need a few pieces of equipment to start production, and I happen to have a source to purchase them; the only problem is the funding."

These tritium manufacturing machines are not cheap; they cost at least several hundred million.

Chen Feng spoke up:

Money is no problem, you're in charge of this.

For Chen Feng, money was just a number; as long as it could buy him what he wanted, that was enough.

Harvey nodded with a smile:

"Okay, Professor Chen, don't worry, I'll get it done in the shortest amount of time!"

Chen Feng did not linger with Harvey and subsequently left the research institute.

He was going to begin transporting the supplies from here to the Painting Scroll World.

In the Golden Triangle, on an open field.

This was originally the site of a battle between the Fourteenth Brigade and Jack's men.

After some time, the signs of battle have diminished, but many traces of the war remain.

Colonel Zhang arrived here with more than a dozen researchers.

They came here for only one purpose: to investigate.

This investigation is for two reasons.

The first thing is the space carrier; people internationally might think it's fake.

But Colonel Zhang didn't see it that way, because he was the first to obtain photos of the space carrier.

The second thing is how Jack defeated the armored regiment of the 14th Brigade of the Cherry Blossom Country.

The images captured by the Hummingbird drone at the time clearly showed the deaths of the armored wing drivers, while the tanks and armored vehicles were not destroyed.

This matter also reveals something strange.

What methods could be used to kill the driver inside the tank without destroying its armor? This was something Colonel Zhang couldn't understand.

Colonel Zhang had already contacted Jack before, hoping to get some information from Jack.

But Jack revealed basically nothing.

Given that Dragon Country currently has a good relationship with Jack, he didn't press for an answer. Instead, he brought experts and professors from Dragon Academy of Sciences to investigate.

"We've found something!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

A professor is holding a plastic bag, and inside the plastic bag is a piece of shard.

Colonel Zhang walked over and asked, "What is this?"

The professor said in a deep voice:

"Based on our initial guess, this should be fragments of a missile, but we don't know exactly what kind of missile it is."

Upon hearing about the missile fragments, Colonel Zhang immediately said:

"Go back and compare them to see if it's a DF-21!"

Dragon Country sold DF-21 missiles to Jack, so Colonel Zhang made this judgment.

Just then, Jack walked over with his men.

Upon seeing Jack, Colonel Zhang smiled and asked, "What brings you here?"

Jack laughed heartily:

"I'm here today to discuss something with Colonel Zhang."

Jack did not stop the people from the Dragon Country from conducting their investigation here.

Because no matter how much the Dragon Country investigates, they can't find anything. Without evidence, it's impossible to discover that the space carrier belongs to their side.

Besides, that space carrier is now under their boss's control; they don't have one at the Golden Triangle military base.

"What is it? Just say it." Colonel Zhang was very direct.

Jack immediately said, "I want to buy intercontinental ballistic missiles!"

Upon hearing this, all the experts and professors in the room turned to look at Jack.

He was clearly surprised by Jack's words.

A professor said seriously:

"Mr. Jack, do you know what you're saying? Although we have a trade relationship, intercontinental ballistic missiles are strategic weapons, and these weapons are not for sale!"

The others looked at Jack with suspicion.

Ultimately, Jack was still their neighbor, and his sudden desire to purchase intercontinental ballistic missiles naturally made everyone very wary.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles are far superior to ordinary weapons; these weapons are of national strategic importance.

It carries a nuclear warhead with a yield of one megaton.

Jack then took out a book from his person. The book's binding was completely different from that of the modern world, and the text on it was also different from that of the Painting Scroll World.

"These are the extraterrestrial civilization books I obtained from the mysterious seller who held the auction!"

Jack's single sentence caused the experts and professors in the room to gasp for breath.

A group of people immediately surrounded Jack, all staring at the book in Jack hands.

The books about extraterrestrial civilizations are of immeasurable value for textual research.

Writing can be considered the foundation of a civilization; if one can master the writing system of a civilization, then one can master the information of that civilization.

One of the professors reached for the writing, but Jack snatched it away first.

Colonel Zhang understood Jack's meaning and then said:

"Change your request."

Intercontinental ballistic missiles—there's no way we'd sell those.

Dragon Country has always prioritized peaceful development, and selling other weapons is acceptable.

Even if Dragon Country wanted to sell intercontinental ballistic missiles, other countries wouldn't agree.

Jack looked at Colonel Zhang and said:

"Colonel Zhang, I'm not buying intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, just conventional ones. This book is a gift from me to Dragon Country. The price of the missiles is separate!"

Upon hearing this, the professors and experts in the room all looked at Jack in surprise.

It's important to understand that the greatest value of an intercontinental ballistic missile lies in the nuclear warhead it carries.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles without nuclear warheads are almost harmless.

Every country in the world equips its intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.

It's simply not cost-effective to equip it with a conventional warhead. After flying over 10,000 kilometers to strike the target, equipping it with a conventional warhead would result in minimal damage.

The cost of manufacturing this missile is extremely high.

Colonel Zhang thought for a moment and said:

I need to report this matter. I'll give you an answer tomorrow.

If Jack only wants intercontinental ballistic missiles with conventional warheads, then there is indeed room for negotiation.

"Alright, this book is yours."

After saying that, Jack handed the book to Colonel Zhang.

Looking at the book in his hand, Colonel Zhang was taken aback. "I haven't given you an answer yet."

Jack said with a smile:

"It's alright. Even if you don't agree, I'm still planning to give it to you. I'm not a researcher, so it's useless to me."

Upon hearing this, the way many experts and professors in the room looked at Jack changed.

"Then I'll be going now."

After saying that, Jack left with his men.

Colonel Zhang remained silent for a long time, watching Jack's departing figure.
