Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1140 Reactions of various countries
More importantly, they have just discovered a new economic model - the "supernatural power economy."

This model is based on the research and application of these mysterious forces, and it is expected to replace the oil economy and become a new economic growth point in America.

Imagine if it were possible to convert demonic powers into energy, or develop technology that could enhance human capabilities, what a huge market that would be.

Countless entrepreneurs and investors have already smelled this business opportunity and are ready to make a big splash in this emerging field.

However, the premise of all this is that they must be able to use these powers safely and in a controlled manner.

If a crisis caused by drug injection occurs now, then their dreams and plans will come to naught and all their investments will be lost.

"We made a big mistake."

A young and strong black-haired lieutenant general said solemnly.

His eyes were full of regret and helplessness.

He was not in favor of studying the monsters captured in Tokyo from the beginning.

In his opinion, this level of extraordinary power is too advanced and too prone to problems for America, which is still in its infancy in the field of mystery.

He had issued warnings to senior officials many times, but they were always drowned out by the politicians' frenzy.

They are fascinated by supernatural forces and desire to master them in order to consolidate their position or realize their personal ambitions.

In Moscow, the capital of the northern great country, in the majestic and solemn presidential palace, the president's office is like an isolated island, quietly located in the deepest part.

Outside the window, there was a city covered in snow in winter, while inside, there was a warm and heavy atmosphere. The commander-in-chief placed his hands on the table, his eyes that had experienced countless storms, staring closely at the encrypted intelligence file that his secretary had just delivered.

On the document, the KGB emblem flashed a cold light under the light. Although this once glorious intelligence agency has been controversial in recent years, in the face of the temptation of supernatural forces, even the KGB seems to have regained its former fighting spirit and determination.

The content of the intelligence is about the recent outbreak of monster incidents in Tokyo, and the global craze and concern about monster power research that it has triggered.

The report records in detail the various disadvantages of using demonic power, including but not limited to serious damage to human functions, irreversible impact on the environment, and most critically - social unrest and disasters that may result from the loss of control of demonic power.

These pieces of information, like heavy stones, were thrown into the commander-in-chief's originally calm heart, causing ripples.

He frowned slightly, and his clenched fists slowly relaxed after a brief moment of tension, as if he was engaging in a silent contest and having a dialogue with his inner fear and desire.

The commander-in-chief took a deep breath. The air was slightly refreshing after the snow, which calmed him down a little.

As the king of a country, every decision he makes concerns the future of the country and the well-being of the people, and he cannot afford to be careless.

"America has taught us a lesson this time."

The commander-in-chief's voice was deep and magnetic, but it could not hide the irony and helplessness in it. His words echoed in the spacious office, resonating with several of his confidants present.

Some of them were wearing neat military uniforms, while others were dressed in suits and leather shoes. Everyone sat upright, with seriousness and concern written all over their faces.

"America, the country that has always been far ahead of us in the field of biotechnology, has also suffered a major setback in this exploration of demonic power. This shows that with our current level of technology, getting involved in the research of mysterious monsters is tantamount to trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire."

The commander-in-chief paused here and glanced at everyone, as if to make sure that every word was deeply engraved in their hearts.

"Therefore, I have decided to temporarily put on hold all research plans on mysterious monsters. We cannot allow our country to follow in America's footsteps and fall into chaos and turmoil."

As the commander-in-chief finished speaking, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

At this moment, an old man with a slightly bloated figure and a big belly and a smooth head like a mirror slowly stood up. He was one of the most senior think tanks under Commander Mosca, named Eldridge.

"Commander-in-Chief, I propose that we retain at least one team to focus on theoretical research on the mysterious monsters. The current level of technology has not yet reached the level of being able to directly capture or analyze these monsters, but theoretical exploration will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for possible research in the future. More importantly, such research can allow us to maintain a certain degree of competitiveness in this field full of unknowns, ensuring that we will not fall completely behind other countries due to temporary stagnation."

Commander Mosca thought about it and nodded slightly in agreement.

He knew that this suggestion was feasible. At least, it would allow them to maintain a certain presence in this field and not fall completely behind other countries.

Seeing that his suggestion was approved by the commander-in-chief, Eldridge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued, "As for funding, I have recently noticed that many big businessmen have begun to show great interest in this mysterious field. They see the business opportunities in it and are willing to provide financial support for official research. We can use these funds and resources to strengthen our theoretical research and even gradually move towards practical exploration."

Commander Mosca nodded to show his approval of the suggestion. He knew that in this era, money and resources were very important. With these, they could conduct research and exploration better.

"Besides, our neighbors have been eyeing our diamond mines lately."

The bald old man said again.

“Perhaps, we can agree to cooperate with the other party to jointly develop our diamonds? This can not only ease our financial pressure, but also allow the other party to participate in our research to a certain extent.”

Commander Mosca frowned, thought for a while and said, "Let's give it a try. But we must be careful to protect our interests and safety."

Although this suggestion is a bit risky, it is feasible.

After all, in this era full of unknowns and dangers, cooperation and win-win are the most important. As long as you can protect your own interests and safety, you can try to cooperate with the other party.

And so, Commander Mosca made the decision.

They suspended their research on the mysterious monster, but retained the theoretical research team. At the same time, they also began to look for partners and funding sources to support their research.
