I built an armada.

Although Dragonheart Lab has only been established for less than three months, it is a key confidential unit of the tribe. Even if you want to invest, you have to be screened to see if you are qualified.

Clearly, the entrepreneurs sitting here today are all qualified entities that have been screened.

When Li Lao introduced them, Su Dingping wrote down the names of all these people's companies. Whether it was Tang Ping's Huachen Technology or Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant, the technologies they needed had something in common with the research of Longxin Laboratory.

The reason he gave the lab a three-day break was to use that time to handle investment matters.

As soon as he entered, Tang Ping stood up, appearing very warm: "Brother Su, we meet again. Ever since we last met, I've been waiting for you to contact me. I almost thought it was hopeless."

He stepped forward and shook hands with Su Dingping. To outsiders, it looked like they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, but only the two of them knew that they had only met once before.

"I apologize, Mr. Tang, I have indeed been quite busy lately. However, the reason I asked you to come here today is to discuss cooperation."

The entrepreneurs present were all stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. Everyone knew that if they could establish a relationship with such a top-secret laboratory, their companies would definitely see growth, and the tribe would remember them.

This is a win-win situation, and no one would disagree with it.

There was another matter, which was the main reason they came here this time: the previous conflict in the South China Sea. Although the tribe tried to hide the news, it still couldn't escape the investigation of those who were interested.

Moreover, the Eagle Tribe had previously retracted the statement they had personally signed, which was tantamount to slapping themselves in the face and clearly telling the world that something was amiss, so even if they wanted to hide it, they simply couldn't.

As the details of the South China Sea conflict are gradually declassified, it is not surprising that these entrepreneurs received the news first.

The mastermind behind all this was this seemingly harmless young man, which is why they all felt a strong sense of curiosity and admiration for Su Dingping.

Not only is he capable of developing new equipment that can overwhelm the fleets of the Eastern Wilderness and the Eagle Tribe, but he can also make a fortune from this. He's practically a god!
A young woman who looked to be no more than twenty years old suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with admiration: "Director Su, I heard that you are only twenty-one years old and have already created a new type of weapon that surpasses the Eagle Tribe. Is that true?"

Su Dingping looked over and recalled Old Li's introduction. This girl was Qin Mingzhu, the beloved daughter of the CEO of the famous Zhongchuang Technology Group. At only twenty-six years old, she had taken over most of the company's business and was a powerful businesswoman.

Her achievements in the business world are no less than Su Dingping's achievements in the scientific research field.

Zhongchuang Technology Group covers communications, enterprise business, and terminal business. Its enterprise business provides cloud computing, data centers, and other services to government, financial, and energy companies.

The terminal business, which includes products such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers, is a refreshing change among domestic enterprises.

Qin Baichuan, the CEO of Zhongchuang Technology Group, is a typical patriotic businessman. He has strict family education, which can be seen from Qin Mingzhu, who dresses conservatively and behaves with grace and poise.

Her gaze made Guo Xueyun, who was sitting in the corner, feel uncomfortable, as if someone was coveting her things.

Seeing Qin Mingzhu's bright eyes, Su Dingping nodded and chuckled, "It's not as exaggerated as the rumors say. In fact, the navy already had electromagnetic pulse weapons; I just made some modifications to them."

He didn't mention that the currently operational electromagnetic pulse weapons were also his creation.

That alone was enough. Qin Mingzhu's eyes became even more admiring: "You're amazing. My father has been talking about you a lot ever since the last weapons exhibition."

"By the way, Director Su, I heard you're still single? Do you think I have a chance?"

Such blunt words stunned everyone in the conference room. How did what was supposed to be a proper corporate investment meeting turn into a matchmaking event?
After realizing what was happening, Su Dingping waved his hands repeatedly: "Miss Qin, this news is false. I already have a fiancée, who is my senior sister and also my assistant, Guo Xueyun."

Guo Xueyun then stood up and walked behind Su Dingping. Although she didn't say a word, it was as if she had said everything.

Actually, she was quite surprised, after all, they had only officially become boyfriend and girlfriend last night, and today she was being promoted to fiancée.

Seeing Guo Xueyun, whose looks and figure were no less than hers, and who could stay by Su Dingping's side every day, Qin Mingzhu knew that her chances were slim, but she still showed good manners.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you already had a fiancée.” She nodded to Guo Xueyun again. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I meant no offense.”

"It's alright." Guo Xueyun smiled, forcing herself to stand tall, unwilling to embarrass Su Dingping.

Old Li and Old Hong, who were standing to the side, nodded with great satisfaction. They had long wanted to match Guo Xueyun and Su Dingping up, but the two of them hadn't been able to see the signs before. Now, they had come up with something big, and she had even become his fiancée!
Tang Ping, ever the quick-witted one, stepped in to smooth things over: "Hehe, Miss Qin, we're here today for investment, let's put personal matters aside for now."

"However, it's only natural that someone as outstanding as Brother Su would attract the attention of such outstanding women. Assistant Guo, you must keep a close eye on him."

Everyone laughed good-naturedly.

As the laughter subsided, Su Dingping finally got down to business: "Gentlemen, you are all very clear about the purpose of your visit, and you know everything you need to know about the Dragon Heart Laboratory."

"But what I want to tell you is that Longxin Laboratory will definitely be able to develop more new technologies and break through more new technological barriers in the future. And these technologies will depend on you to apply them to industry and benefit society."

"I can promise you that your investment will absolutely not be a loss; this is a win-win situation for both of us!"

Several business leaders applauded, their enthusiasm stirred by the words. Qin Mingzhu was the first to stand up: "Director Su, Zhongchuang Technology wants to expand into the car manufacturing industry. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Building cars?"

Su Dingping's eyes suddenly lit up. You have to understand that we have just entered the 21st century. The automobile manufacturing industry is not so developed yet, and the average wage is only about two thousand yuan.

However, Zhongchuang Technology is already thinking about manufacturing cars, which clearly shows that it has a very bright vision for the future and is also the next strategic investment.

So he smiled and said, "Of course, the new material 'Dragon Scales' that our lab is currently developing can be used as the skeleton of a car. Many of our upcoming research projects also have applications in the automotive field." "Ms. Qin could even be bolder and directly develop new energy vehicles!"

"New energy vehicles?" Qin Mingzhu and the other entrepreneurs were all surprised. They rarely heard of this term, as most of the cars on the road now were gasoline-powered.

"Yes," Su Dingping's eyes gleamed with delight, "to directly develop new types of batteries and solve the charging and range problems in one step—I believe the future will definitely belong to new energy!"

These words made Qin Mingzhu's eyes even more eager, as if she wanted to pounce on Su Dingping: "Director Su, this is wonderful! We want to sign an exclusive agreement with you, no matter how much you want!"

"I believe that Director Su will definitely not let me down!"

Tang Ping chuckled: "Miss Qin, you absolutely can't keep this to yourself! We're still here. We weren't really interested in the automotive industry before, but after what Director Su said, we think the prospects for this industry are absolutely amazing!"

Bosses Yan Qiang, Li Sheng, and others chimed in with their own words.

Although Qin Mingzhu is young, she is considered a shrewd businesswoman. She chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you are all my seniors. If there is an opportunity, we will definitely cooperate."

Su Dingping was surprised that his words had won the approval of these people. He was also very excited, but he knew that it was too far off to talk about new energy vehicles.

“Ms. Qin, although I have this idea, new battery technology is not so easy to develop and break through. Even if an exclusive agreement is signed, it may take several years or even more than ten years to see any results.”

"I'm willing to wait."

Those four simple words made everyone understand Qin Mingzhu's determination.

Su Dingping felt a warmth in his heart as well; only someone with such unwavering trust in him could say such things.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will not only have in-depth cooperation with the automotive industry, but also with the medical, aerospace, and mining industries. I will definitely give you an explanation within ten years!"

Tang Ping nodded enthusiastically: "Director Su, you don't need to say these things. Since we're here, it's because we're optimistic about the future of Longxin Laboratory, and also because we're optimistic about your future. With you here, there's absolutely no way we can break through!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room immediately became lively, and their discussion became more relaxed, mainly involving discussing the investment ratio and the next research direction.

Several entrepreneurs raised their questions, and Su Dingping answered them very professionally. Only then did they realize that the young man in front of them was not only outstanding in the military industry, but also unfathomable in other areas.

Moreover, while Su Dingping's suggestions and research directions may seem like overly ambitious steps, they are undeniably in line with the laws and trends of development.

They all greatly admired Su Dingping's sharp insight, little did they know that these were all things Su Dingping had seen before his rebirth, how could they be wrong?

"Gentlemen, you are all elders, please don't think I'm being blunt. Longxin Laboratory will accept your investment, but I will remain the person in charge of the laboratory. You will not participate in any affairs of Longxin Laboratory, only have the right to share the patents."

This means that no one can interfere with the affairs of Longxin Laboratory; Su Dingping still has the final say. However, their investment allows them to use various patents in Longxin Laboratory for free or by paying only a small patent fee in the future.

"Of course, I wholeheartedly agree!" Tang Ping was the first to stand up and express his opinion. "We at Huachen Technology only need one collaborative R&D position and priority rights to commercialize our research results."

"Of course, we also need to look at the lab's basic research reports; this is a normal investment process."

It sounded like there was no problem, so Su Dingping nodded in agreement. He wanted people to know exactly what was being researched in the lab, so that these entrepreneurs could invest with peace of mind.

"No problem. What our lab is currently developing is a new type of material, which I named 'Dragon Scale-1'. It is a super material that has been in extreme environments for a long time."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Guo Xueyun, who understood and took a stack of documents, placing them in front of each entrepreneur.

The document contained various data about Dragon Scale-1. After reading it, Tang Ping exclaimed in surprise, "Director Su, I come from a materials science background. Once this achievement is implemented, it will be world-changing!"

"If we can really reach such data standards, Huachen Technology will definitely take the lead. You can focus on research and development, and leave the manufacturing to us. We have mature production lines!"

Su Dingping nodded with a smile, but that didn't mean he agreed. The Dragon Scale-1 new material was the most top-secret research achievement of the Dragon Summer Tribe and could not be handed over to a private enterprise for production.

Initially, the production will definitely be handled by military factories, and it will only be released to the public once the materials are fully developed.

Tang Ping could not hide his excitement: "Director Su, if I may ask, what are you planning to apply this new material to?"

"If it involves confidentiality, then pretend I didn't ask."

Su Dingping chuckled: "It's alright to tell you, since it'll be made public sooner or later anyway. The project we're currently developing is a stellarator nuclear reactor device, and Dragon Scale-1 is the core material of the stellarator."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into absolute silence. Tang Ping, Qin Mingzhu, and the others all wore expressions of shock.

After a moment, Qin Mingzhu broke the silence: "Director Su, as far as I know, the mainstream nuclear reactor device in the world today is the tokamak device, and the stellarator device does not seem to be recognized by the mainstream."

“That’s right, this is a road no one has ever traveled before, and it’s also our hope for overtaking others by taking a shortcut,” Su Dingping said slowly. “And we’ve already taken the most difficult first step.”

Qin Mingzhu's eyes flashed with shock, shocked by Su Dingping's ambition: "Director Su, in this respect, you really make us feel ashamed. If you have time, please come to our company. I believe my father will like you very much."

Su Dingping smiled and nodded in agreement: "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely pay you a visit."

Tang Ping sat there silently, still processing this explosive news. The Dragon Heart Laboratory was developing a nuclear reactor—this was huge news! (End of Chapter)
