I built an armada.

Everyone thought that Su Dingping was only researching military industry, little did they know that he had a big plan in mind.

If the nuclear reactor project were to actually be implemented, it would truly shock the world! Therefore, Tang Ping and the others were all deeply moved and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

Tang Ping maintained his smile: "Brother Su, you are so young yet have such lofty ambitions, it's truly admirable. Our investment is definitely a wise choice."

"Brother Su, from now on I'm sticking with you. No matter how much money you want, I'll sell everything I own to give it to you!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Su Dingping gave Guo Xueyun a look, and she brought out a contract that had been prepared beforehand. The contract stated that the investing company could not participate in the laboratory project, but could only enjoy the right to share the scientific research results.

Along with the contract, there was also a confidentiality agreement.

The entrepreneurs in the conference room all signed contracts and agreements. Among them, Huachen Technology invested 5 billion Longxia coins, Zhongchuang Technology invested 5 billion, and other companies such as Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant and Xingyu Mining invested more than 1 billion.

This wave of funding for Longxin Labs has exceeded 20 billion yuan, which means they are well-funded!

After signing the contract, Su Dingping stood up and invited, "Now that we're in a cooperative relationship, you've come all this way to the lab, so you must stay for a meal to celebrate."

At his enthusiastic invitation, the entrepreneurs readily agreed.

"Xueyun, go to the cafeteria and ask the chef to prepare a few more dishes, and buy some good wine. Tonight, we're going to drink until we drop!"

He then looked at Tang Ping and the others, and said with a warm smile, "No one is allowed to leave tonight. Come on, I'll take you on a tour of the laboratory first."

The CEOs were delighted to hear this, as they had long yearned to visit the mysterious Longxing Laboratory. However, Tang Ping stepped forward and asked, "Brother Su, wouldn't entering the laboratory involve a confidentiality agreement?"

Su Dingping waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, the lab is closed for three days. There are no experiments being conducted, it's just a visit, no problem."

So everyone went into the laboratory together.

"Gentlemen, this is my battlefield," he said, pointing to the large screen in the center of the laboratory. "This is the artificial intelligence system."

"This is the neutron production target, this is our newly developed ultra-strong steady-state magnetic field, this is the femtosecond laser precision instrument..."

Qin Mingzhu and the others looked at this futuristic laboratory and were deeply shocked. More importantly, this laboratory was built by Su Dingping.

This gave them a new understanding of Su Dingping's abilities.

Su Dingping, contrary to his usual self, became eloquent and talked at length about the equipment in the laboratory. The entrepreneurs, like country bumpkins who had never seen the world, were simply shocked.

Finally, Guo Xueyun returned: "The cafeteria is all ready."

Su Dingping gestured for them to proceed: "Please, esteemed executives, move to the cafeteria. Let's eat and chat."

Everyone followed Guo Xueyun toward the cafeteria. Su Dingping lagged behind and was stopped by Old Li: "Young Su, is it really appropriate for you to tell them about the lab's research projects?"

Su Dingping smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Elder Li, I know what I'm doing. Those who want to keep things secret will keep them secret without being told, while those with ulterior motives will leak the information even if they're on their deathbed."

"Instead of letting them keep testing us, it's better to tell them directly."

Old Hong smiled and nodded: "Old Li, I knew Su was resourceful. His personality changed so much today, how could you not notice?"

Old Li curled his lip: "Of course you can tell, it's just caution, what do you know!"

Both of them understood that Su Dingping had his own ideas, and they, the old men, just needed to cooperate with him.

Upon arriving at the small canteen, Su Dingping walked forward with a smile: "The military canteen is certainly not as good as the hotels outside, so please bear with us, esteemed officers."

Tang Ping readily agreed, saying, "We usually don't even have the chance to eat at the military base, so this is a good opportunity to take advantage of it."

Su Dingping borrowed two officers with a high alcohol tolerance from Wanlong to accompany him. They abandoned their previous refined demeanor and even started urging each other to drink.

Since he gave them face, Tang Ping and the others naturally couldn't put on airs, so the meal was a success, with everyone getting quite drunk.

Su Dingping seemed drunk, his eyes glazed over as he embraced Tang Ping beside him: "Brother Tang, I'm suffering so much!"

Tang Ping's heart skipped a beat: "Brother Su, what's wrong with you? Tell me if there's anything you can do, and I'll definitely get it done for you!"

Fueled by alcohol, Su Dingping vented his frustrations: "Sigh, our lab seems to be thriving, but it's actually quite difficult. Although we have money now, we simply can't buy rare earth or rare isotope raw materials!"

"The Eagle Tribe is bullying us! They won't let other tribes sell to us. If we can't buy any more, the experiment might have to be stopped!"

This should have been top secret, but he blurted it out under the influence of alcohol. Tang Ping's heart skipped a beat: "There's such a thing? The Eagle Tribe is really bullying us!"

"Yes, it's not just us, the tribe's higher-ups are also worried. Brother, what do you think we should do?"

As Su Dingping spoke, his eyelids kept drooping, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Tang Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly calculating in his mind, and finally gently patted Su Dingping's shoulder: "Brother Su, don't worry, I'll help you with this!"

"To be honest, none of us expected you to be researching the stellarator project. I'm quite interested in this project, and if I could see the stellarator device finally come to fruition, I would have no regrets in this life!"

Su Dingping patted his chest heavily: "What's the big deal? I'll give you an observer position later, you can come to the lab anytime to check on the project's progress!"

"Okay, it's settled then!" Tang Ping was overjoyed.

But he didn't see that Su Dingping, who was almost drunk and leaning on his shoulder, had a slight smile on his lips.

They drank until late at night. Su Dingping was helped back to the dormitory by Guo Xueyun. After putting him on the bed, she began to take off Su Dingping's clothes and shoes.

"Having drunk so much, don't you know your own alcohol tolerance?"

She complained like a timid wife, but her hands didn't stop. After taking off her clothes, she went to get hot water to wipe Su Dingping's body.

But when she returned with the towel, she found that Su Dingping had opened his eyes. His eyes looked exceptionally bright and clear in the shadows, showing no signs of drunkenness whatsoever.

"Dingping, you're not drunk?"

Su Dingping smiled and shook his head: "It was alright. In the end, Wanlong replaced all my wine with water. When it comes to drinking, I'm certainly no match for those seasoned drinkers." "Then why did you pretend to be drunk?" Guo Xueyun keenly sensed something was wrong.

Su Dingping smiled mysteriously: "It's nothing, just a bait set up. Let's see who jumps out first."

Guo Xueyun looked at him for a long time, then smiled indulgently: "You always have so many clever ideas."

Although he wasn't completely drunk, Su Dingping still felt a bit unwell, so he went to bed early.

During the three-day holiday, Su Dingping spent the first day dealing with investment matters, the second day accompanying Guo Xueyun shopping, and the third day receiving a message from Wanlong.

"Sir, Tang Ping left the country yesterday!"

Upon hearing this, Su Dingping immediately stopped what he was doing: "He went abroad? Where did he go?"

“The Eagle Tribe,” Wanlong said coldly, “and they didn’t go through official channels, they smuggled themselves in. We also found out that this isn’t the first time he’s done this!”

Su Dingping's spirits lifted. He always sneaked off to the Eagle Tribe, which couldn't possibly be to visit relatives. It could only mean that Tang Ping had a problem, a big problem!
"Looks like it really is a big fish."

"Commander, what should we do next? Should we arrest Tang Ping? If he really is a spy, I have a hundred ways to make him talk!" Wan Long clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth.

Su Dingping waved his hand and said, "Why arrest him? Keeping him alive is still useful to us! Continue to monitor him, make sure he's not discovered, and don't let your guard down with the others."

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

Wan Long saluted and then turned and left.

Su Dingping wore a smile, showing no anger at being betrayed, because he knew that Tang Ping had his own purpose in approaching him and trying to join the Dragon Heart Laboratory.

He will not act rashly before achieving his goal, and will instead bring benefits to the laboratory!

"Brother Tang, please don't let me down! The lab's survival depends on you!"

Meanwhile, at the military base on the Alyu Islands, Talos's fleet finally returned, weary and battered from its journey.

Talos stormed off the ship, cursing under his breath. He, a three-star general, had been captured alive by the Dragonxia tribe.

This was not just a failure, but a huge disgrace, a disgrace that made him afraid to go back and face his fellow villagers.

Carlos personally came out to greet them. He only had a vague understanding of what had happened in the South China Sea, so he quickly asked, "Talos, what exactly happened to you?"

"Is the Longxia tribe's naval fleet really that powerful?"

Talos sighed deeply and recounted everything that had happened during this time. When he heard that the Dragonxia tribe possessed an electromagnetic pulse weapon capable of instantly destroying their ships, Carlos's face showed deep shock.

"How is that possible?! Even for us, electromagnetic pulse weapons are still a long way off, how could the Longxia tribe possibly possess them?!" His voice became shrill.

"I don't believe it either, but it's true! We need to report this to the Great Chieftain as soon as possible so he can prepare accordingly, otherwise the territory of the Longxia tribe will become our forbidden land!"

Carlos nodded heavily, looking up at the silent fleet. The officers and soldiers had left full of vigor, but upon their return, they all seemed to have lost their souls.

"How's the fleet? Can it be repaired?"

Their garrison base only has these two small fleets. If they can't be repaired, then their base will be just an empty shell!
Taros said with a solemn expression, "Although the ship is not completely destroyed, it is almost. Both the chips and the circuits have been destroyed by the electromagnetic pulse. Replacing them is simple, but finding out exactly what is wrong is a huge undertaking."

"For the time being, these two fleets will be completely incapable of fighting!"

Carlos was pale: "If the Dragonxia tribe wants to send troops to reclaim the Alyu Islands at this time, wouldn't we become sitting ducks?"

"No, I need to report to the Great Chieftain and have him send a few more fleets!"

Just as he was about to report, Talos stopped him: "General, wait a minute. This time we also brought back electromagnetic repair modules purchased from the Longxia tribe. If we can replicate the technology inside and improve it, then we won't have to be afraid of the Longxia tribe's electromagnetic pulse weapons!"

"Yes, we must send it back to the Great Chief as soon as possible!"

Carlos nodded and immediately dispatched a patrol ship with the remaining repair modules to rush back to the Eagle Tribe. At the same time, Carlos also made a phone call to the Great Chief.

After explaining the situation at the garrison base, the Great Chieftain's face darkened: "We don't have any extra fleets to send you. Hang in there. The Dragon Summer Tribe doesn't dare to send troops at this time. Do they want to start a world war?"

Although Kalosd was very worried, he still obeyed the Great Chieftain's order.

After hanging up the phone, the chieftain sighed deeply: "Hmph, Dragonxia Tribe, I'll remember you this time!"

He picked up a document from the table and began to examine it. The document contained information about Su Dingping, information that even the Great Chieftain found shocking.

"In less than four years after graduating from Harbin Institute of Technology, he went from a researcher to the chief engineer of a military factory and received several awards. Why isn't such a talent our Eagle Tribe?"

"Since they're not one of our people, they're the most dangerous enemy, and we must find a way to eliminate them!"

Then he looked at the information below, and when he saw that the Dragon Heart Laboratory was for developing stellarator devices, he burst out laughing.

"Haha, I thought he was a talented person, but I didn't expect him to be a madman! He has a better path but chooses to take the dead end instead."

He sent the information to his staff, and after reading it, they all had the same reaction, their eyes even showing a hint of contempt.

"Great Chief, this Su Dingping is far too arrogant. Does he think he alone can match the efforts of scientists worldwide? That's utter wishful thinking!"

"The Dragon Summer Tribe's full support for the Dragon Heart Laboratory is also a sign of their madness. They are wasting their time on this project, which is completely meaningless."

The chieftain nodded in agreement: "That's true. They're currently facing a shortage of raw materials like rare earth elements, and they're taking a dead-end path that no one has ever taken before. How can they possibly expect to succeed?"

"So what should we do next?"

"Hehe, of course we need to add a little something extra for them. How can we let them live so contentedly?" (End of Chapter)
