I built an armada.

Hiroshi Ishihara explained in detail, which finally calmed Taro Noda down. The parts were installed on the repair module, so it was indeed he who ordered the repurchase of these parts that should have been discarded.

Noda Taro's expression cracked, and he glared fiercely at Ishihara Hiroshi: "Why didn't you say so sooner? You actually wanted to keep something like this from me?"

Ishihara Hiroshi looked aggrieved: "Your Excellency, it was you who advised me that no matter what, even if the sky were to fall, I must remain calm."

"How dare you talk back?!" Noda Taro was furious and wanted to pin Ishihara Hiroshi to the ground and beat him up, but then he remembered that Ishihara Hiroshi had come over earlier to tell him this.

It was he who had urged Ishihara Hiroshi to be more composed, which was why things had gone wrong until now. Realizing this, he felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped several times.

He had to change the subject: "The Longxia tribe really knows how to do business. They've brought back the electronic waste we didn't want."

How much did we sell them for back then?

After a moment's thought, Hiroshi Ishihara said definitively, "It's one thousand dollars each."

"One thousand US dollars?" Noda Taro clutched his heart, grabbed the wall with his other hand, and was a little unsteady on his feet. "The repair modules that the Dragon Summer Tribe sold to us cost a full fifty million US dollars each."

"It's increased ten thousand times! Ten thousand times!"

He let out a shout, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground. This time, their Eastern Wilderness tribe had become the biggest sucker, and the Dragon Summer tribe had thoroughly played them for a fool.

This humiliation was no less than coming home to find his wife with another man, so Noda Taro could no longer bear it and fell into a coma.

"Help! Help!"

Ishihara Hiroshi panicked and immediately started calling for help. After a flurry of activity, he finally managed to get Noda Taro into a private hospital.

It wasn't until evening that Noda Taro slowly woke up, his face an unnatural grayish-brown, making him look like he had aged ten years in an instant.

Besides Hiroshi Ishihara, cabinet ministers such as Jiro Koizumi and Shun Matsushita were also in the ward. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Taro Noda wake up.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Hiroshi Ishihara stepped forward and asked with concern.

If Noda Taro were to die of anger, he would also be held responsible.

Noda Taro waved his hand: "I'm fine. What I'm worried about now is the repair module we bought. Since the repair module uses parts that we're about to discard, doesn't that save us time on research?"

"I want you to replicate the electromagnetic damage repair module as soon as possible, so that we won't be in such a sorry state when facing the Dragonxia Tribe fleet."

Hiroshi Ishihara shook his head and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, although the parts are ones we sold, they have been modified and a special chip has been added."

Noda Taro was disappointed; he thought he could overtake others by taking a shortcut, but it turned out the parts were no longer the same.

"In that case, forget it. But you must quickly and thoroughly master the technology for repairing the module. You can manage that, right?"

Ishihara Hiroshi still looked ashamed: "Your Excellency, we had already studied the repair module when it was sent back. We even added several anti-leakage measures to this small component."

"If you forcibly disassemble it, the chip has a self-destruct function. If you don't disassemble it, you can't get the chip and crack the repair module technology."

Upon hearing this, Noda Taro nearly fainted again, his eyes rolling back. It took him a while to recover, and he looked at Ishihara Hiroshi as if he were looking at an enemy.

"Useless! You're all useless! What use are you to me?! I don't care how many excuses you have, you have to replicate the repair module for me, or you're all dead!"

Hiroshi Ishihara felt bitter inside, knowing he couldn't disobey Taro Noda at this time, but cracking the encryption chip was even more difficult for him.

In the end, he decided to appease Noda Taro first, otherwise he might have to take him out for target practice today. So he quickly said, "Yes, sir, we will do our best!"

After leaving the ward, he began to complain: "The complete repair module only has a little over a hundred pieces. We used more than twenty pieces to crack those anti-leakage measures, and more than a dozen chips self-destructed."

"As for the rest, trying to research them is simply a pipe dream! I'd rather not be the Minister of Science and Technology; I'd rather just be a scientist."

Just then, he suddenly received a phone call. When he picked it up, he saw that it was from an old classmate who was also an expert.

"Hey, what made you think of calling me?"

"Ishihara, don't you know? The Eagle Tribe is offering very generous terms to recruit experts like us. Once we go, they'll not only give us green cards, but also money, housing, and even a professorship!"

Upon hearing this, Hiroshi Ishihara's heart immediately soared to the Eagle Tribe. Thinking about how Noda Taro had scolded him like a grandson, he figured he might as well run to the Eagle Tribe and become a professor!
After hanging up the phone, he made up his mind, but instead of leaving immediately, he turned around and contacted his expert friends to form a group to go to the Eagle Tribe!

……

Longxia Tribe, Dragon Heart Laboratory.

After the holiday, all the researchers returned to the laboratory.

A female researcher named Zhang Qianru, who was only a few years older than Lin Han, looked incredulous when she saw the smile on Lin Han's face.

"What's going on? Why is the tyrant so happy? He usually has a stern face, but he's smiling today?"

Because of Su Dingping's serious demeanor in the laboratory, he was very young but had a great deal of authority. Especially when conducting experiments, he was willful and did not listen to advice. The name of tyrant was well-deserved.

But ironically, every time he went his own way, he was proven right in the end, which made all the researchers in the lab admire him.

Another female researcher shook her head and said, "I don't know either. When I came here today, I saw the director looking like this. Could it be that he and Assistant Guo are about to have a good time together?"

Zhang Qianru's eyes lit up: "Does that mean we can go to the banquet?"

She mustered her courage and boldly asked Su Dingping, "Director Su, are you and Assistant Guo getting married soon? Don't forget to send us invitations!"

Su Dingping was taken aback and turned to look at Guo Xueyun. They had only just confessed their feelings; who said they were getting married so soon? The construction of the star-simulating device had only taken its first step!

"Of course, if we're having a banquet, we'd love for everyone to join us. But who told you that we're getting married soon?"

Zhang Qianru was taken aback: "Isn't that right? I saw you were so happy, Director, and I thought you two were about to have a happy marriage. Sorry!" Guo Xueyun was already red to her neck, and she looked like she had been boiled. Su Dingping had no doubt that if this continued, Guo Xueyun's head would be steaming.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Su Dingping smiled slightly: "I'm happy not because Assistant Guo and I are going to have a banquet, but because I feel that our laboratory is now rich."

"I've decided to give everyone a month's salary today as a bonus!"

Upon hearing the news, all the researchers cheered. Although they had chosen the path of scientific research, they were not detached from worldly concerns.

They also need money to settle their families and enjoy life. The salary at Longxin Laboratory is already the highest in the entire tribe, and now they are also giving out bonuses, making the researchers wish they could kowtow to Su Dingping!
"Assistant Guo, I wish you and Director Su a long and happy marriage!"

"Assistant Guo, you and Director Su must have a baby soon!"

The researchers who received the bonuses were also generous with their compliments. Someone started congratulating Guo Xueyun and Su Dingping, almost like they were urging them to get married.

Guo Xueyun's face turned even redder, making her look quite adorable, prompting Su Dingping to jokingly ask, "Oh my, where did this red person come from?"

Knowing that she was teasing him, Guo Xueyun snorted, reached out and pinched a soft spot on Su Dingping's waist, then twisted it hard. The intense pain almost made Su Dingping cry out.

"You're trying to murder your husband! How cruel of you!"

Guo Xueyun pouted: "Who told you to make fun of me?"

Lin Han quickly held up three fingers and swore, "I'll do it again!"

They argued and made noise for a while before finally calming down. Just then, Elder Li and Elder Hong entered the laboratory.

"Hehe, I could hear you laughing happily at the door. What good news has happened?" Old Li asked as he walked up with a smile.

Zhang Qianru, the boldest of them all, stepped forward and said, "Old Li, Old Hong, the director is going to give each of us an extra month's salary as a bonus!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Old Li's expression changed.

The researchers exchanged bewildered glances. Did Professor Li think this was a waste of money? If they had known, they shouldn't have said it.

To everyone's surprise, the wrinkles on Old Li's face smoothed out the next moment: "Haha, your director is a rich man now. How can an extra month's salary be enough? If you ask me, he should be paid three months' salary as a bonus!"

All the researchers breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Professor Li was just joking with them; they had been terrified just now.

"Hehe, it's good to be young." Old Li waved his hand at everyone, "You all go ahead with your work, I have something to discuss with Director Su."

Su Dingping helped Old Li, and Guo Xueyun helped Old Hong, before they entered the office.

"Elder Li, Elder Hong, why are you two here? Has something happened?" Su Dingping asked.

Guo Xueyun brewed tea for everyone and gently placed it on the table.

Old Li nodded: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, you little fox, Su boy. What you said before has come to pass!"

Su Dingping frowned slightly: "Old Li, which matter are you referring to? I've said so many things that I can't even remember them all."

Old Hong quickly interjected, "Of course, it was you who asked Tang Ping to help find rare earth elements, protium, deuterium, tritium, and other isotopes. He lived up to expectations and actually got them for you, and it seems the quantity is quite large!"

Su Dingping was secretly delighted and chuckled, "It seems the people behind him are really willing to go all out. It looks like they're determined to get something from me."

Old Li narrowed his eyes slightly: "Young Su, what are you planning to do? Are you going to arrest Tang Ping directly, or play the long game and catch a bigger fish?"

By this time, they had confirmed that Tang Ping was a spy planted in their Longxia tribe by the Eagle Tribe, because no one but a spy could obtain so many rare earth and isotope materials.

Therefore, whether or not to arrest him is a decision that needs to be made with Su Dingping's opinion in mind.

After thinking for a long time, Su Dingping's lips suddenly curled into a peculiar smile: "Haha, I've got a plan. Let's leave him alone for now and treat him as a tool."

"It's nothing more than giving him a little something in return."

Old Hong was taken aback and quickly advised, "No, no, we can't give them even the slightest bit of benefit. If the experimental data is leaked, they can use the data to deduce the experimental product. You must not underestimate the scientists from other tribes."

Su Dingping nodded: "Don't worry, Elder Hong, I know what I'm doing. I'll definitely give the Eagle Tribe a big surprise!"

“Since you’ve already made preparations, then we’ll head back now. Just let us know how you need our cooperation,” Old Li said.

Su Dingping was deeply moved: "Elder Li, Elder Hong, you two just pretend you know nothing and watch how I deal with spies. I'll make them wish they were dead!"

After seeing off the two elderly people, Su Dingping immediately threw himself into his work. The experiment they were about to conduct was a test of a core material at the meter level.

Before the experiment, thorough preparations were necessary. Su Dingping had already conducted the experiment in the forging space, and the experiment went more smoothly than he had imagined.

The meter-level core material was produced without any problems. Everything went so smoothly, as if this was how the production of meter-level core materials should be done.

The Forging Space is different from the Dragon Heart Laboratory. Everything in the Forging Space is under Su Dingping's control. Whatever he thinks will develop in the direction he envisions.

In the Dragon Heart Experiment, the environment is certainly not as good as the forging space, nor can it be like the forging space where one can do whatever one wants with any problem.

But this is the real place; only by completing the experiment in this place can it be considered a complete success.

Therefore, Lin Han made many preparations before the experiment, just because he was worried that the experiment would fail. This was the last step, and he absolutely could not fail.

Just as Lin Han was making intensive preparations for the experiment, other tribes began to stir up trouble.

That's the neighbor of the Longxia tribe, the Indian tribe!
When the Indian king heard that the Longxia tribe had developed an electromagnetic pulse weapon, his face contorted with jealousy!
Why is it that both are large tribes with large populations, and why can the Longxia tribe rise to prominence while their A-San tribe remains backward?

The Indian king was unwilling to accept this! (End of Chapter)
