The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"That's right. If you want to buy a weather controller, you have to ask the boss for the specific price. After all, it is the result of his research." Price nodded affirmatively.

The entire base only has this one weather controller, and it has only been used once. Although the effect is obvious, the cost is also staggering. This matter can be said to be a matter of opinion.

Mr. Xu and others need to consider many aspects comprehensively before deciding whether to buy or give up.

This price is definitely not exaggerated. If the various functions of the weather controller were widely known, many people would probably rush to buy it.

It's not that three billion dollars is unaffordable, but it does require careful weighing of the pros and cons. It's not a simple decision.

Although Mr. Xu and others signed various contracts along the way, it is estimated that they only received about 10 billion US dollars in the end.

Ten billion dollars might just be enough to fill the gap in the funds for purchasing equipment, but they couldn't abandon other purchase plans just because of the weather controller. In fact, Mr. Xu felt that this invitation was a rare opportunity, not only to get those weapons, but more importantly to visit the existing arsenal at the base, and if he saw something he liked, he could take the opportunity to ask Yang Xia to buy it.

Although the two of them often talked on the phone, Yang Xia did not hide anything about the base, and Xu Lao knew something about the base. But communication on the phone was limited after all, and seeing something with your own eyes and hearing it from someone were two completely different things, and Yang Xia would not discuss arms matters in detail for no reason.

It's like showing the treasure in your pocket without anyone asking. This situation is rare after all! Yang Xia took the initiative to propose this, which is tantamount to opening the base to Xu Lao and his group, showing them clearly. If they have the intention to buy, they should seize this opportunity.

After all, the base cannot be open to the public at any time, especially if experiments are conducted around the sea area in the future, it is not a convenient time to visit. This time, the task force members deliberately led the way, otherwise it would be difficult for them to come in, and they might trigger the trap if they were not careful, which is hard to guard against.

Mr. Xu knew that if he missed the opportunity to visit the base this time, it would be unknown when he would be able to come again.

"Putting aside the price, the weather controller is very easy to operate." Price said as he demonstrated, "Click the settings button, and there are four levels to choose from: low, medium, high and highest. You can also choose the weather mode, such as tsunami, lightning, hail..."

"In fact, many of them are common weather events, but they are not very powerful under normal circumstances. The weather controller is like an amplifier, which amplifies the power of these common weather events countless times and turns them into powerful attack power."

"More importantly, many people regard these disasters as natural phenomena and never think that they are man-made. Even if some people think so, most people will not believe such an absurd conclusion."

"Weather modes can be selected individually or in multiples, and combined with different gears, the effects are different."

Price set the range near the base so that he didn't have to move the weather controller and it was within its attack range. Because it was a demonstration, he chose a low-grade single weather mode. After setting the parameters, he pressed the OK button, and the weather controller buzzed and started.

Purple-white and blue light surged upward from the sphere at the bottom, instantly covering the tower-shaped area. The weather controller emitted this light all over its body, gathering at the top and dissipating into the air a few seconds later.

"Is it over like this? What changes will the weather have next? I thought the operation would be complicated, but now it seems it can be done in a few minutes. Or did you deliberately slow down the process?" Wang Bo and others asked curiously.

They had just been staring at the weather controller, and after it was turned on, the machine seemed to come alive, which made them feel very powerful. But after the light disappeared, they were a little confused. Was this the end?
"The effect won't show up so quickly. You may have to wait a minute and then you can see it on the big screen." Captain Price saw their confusion and took the initiative to explain. At least from the perspective of Wang Bo and his companions, they only saw the cool appearance of the weather controller and the light when it was turned on.

However, that was all. A minute passed and there was no response on the big screen. They began to feel a little embarrassed. Was there something wrong with the machine?

"Boom——!!!"

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang in their ears, and everyone was startled by the sudden sound. On the big screen, the white clouds above the sea area around the base turned black without anyone noticing, with flashes of lightning and rumbling sounds from time to time.

The first thunderclap seemed to turn on some kind of switch, and the thunders continued, each one more thrilling than the last. Purple-white spherical lightning struck straight down, and if it was struck, the warship's systems might be damaged, not to mention the people.

"Is this the lowest level? This level is rare. Just looking at the ball lightning, you can tell it's not simple." Wang Bo said with lingering fear. He wanted to ask some questions, but he was so scared that he forgot what he was going to say.

"This is not the lowest setting. I deliberately lowered all the parameters. It can be said to be lower than the lowest setting." Riley scratched his head and explained slowly. As a tech geek, operating these is relatively simple for him and does not require too much effort.

Although the task force members had never operated it before, Yang Xia had only used it once since the research and development. They watched from the side and understood the most basic operations.

"What level did the joint forces encounter last time? High-level?" Mr. Xu suddenly asked. The joint forces suffered heavy losses last time. The United States and other countries sent a large number of troops, but in the end almost all of them were wiped out, leaving only a few fighter jets and super warships that were barely usable.

"Mid-range, but the Simi army may have encountered relatively high-end treatment." Price explained, and he also specifically explained why Simi would encounter high-end attacks. The reason is simple. When Yang Xia was setting it up, he got a little impatient and added all the options directly.

Therefore, even if it is a mid-range, combined weather type, the power is definitely much greater than that of a high-end single type!
"The Simi country was really unlucky. I heard that they only had one person left and all their warships and fighter planes were destroyed."

"In fact, even if it's not that strong, the result probably won't change. After all, most of what they use are things stored in the U.S. warehouse, so you can imagine the quality."

"That's true, but they spent the price of a new product to buy a second-hand product. Do they really not mind..." Wang Bo and his friends went off topic while chatting. They were originally discussing the power of the weather controller, but ended up complaining about how unscrupulous American businessmen make huge profits.

"Ahem, what is Mr. Yang doing now?" Mr. Xu suddenly coughed a few times and brought the topic back on track. The weather controller has been seen, and due to the huge cost, Kyushu Country is not considering purchasing it for the time being.

If you really need it, you can tentatively ask Yang Xia if you can rent it a few times. He can set the price. Of course, under normal circumstances, you don't need to use the weather controller, at least not now.

The countries surrounding Kyushu, Simi and Neon, probably don't have time to harass them now. What Xu Lao and others don't know is that the United States, which has always regarded Kyushu as its biggest opponent and tried its best to deal with it, is now in trouble. If they knew this, let alone the weather controller, the munitions shipped back from the base this time would be enough. All the satellites of the United States are now swallowed up, and there is no signal at all. Bai Pu and others are trapped in the headquarters and can't get out. The streets and alleys of all states are in chaos.

"The boss is researching new weapons. We have almost finished touring the base. I will take you there first!" Captain Price saw that the time was almost up and the mission was completed. If Yang Xia had not specifically asked him to do so, there would be no need to take them around. They could just go directly to the research and development site.

Yang Xia was in a newly built factory building at the base, which was some distance away from the operation area, mainly because of the possible impact during the research and development process. For example, the radiation and other substances generated during the construction of the plasma arc reactor would inevitably cause deviations in the production process if they were manufactured in the same place as ordinary munitions.

These are all avoidable, it just requires some cost to build a new site. But the entire base belongs to Yang Xia, rebuilding the factory building costs almost nothing, with the system in hand, these are not a problem!
So, he moved the factory to the other side of the base, and it would take a while for a small car to drive over. Because the distance was far enough, Yang Xia could build the plasma nuclear reactor without worrying about various factors and operate it as he wanted.

With a wave of his hand, he marked out several hundred square meters of space, all for the research and development of new weapons. Apart from the core machinery placed in the middle, no irrelevant items were placed in other areas.

This was entirely to make room for new weapons, but this was all planned in advance by Yang Xia, not something he suddenly wanted to do.

Although the development of the Iron Man suit does not take up much space, the development of its core energy device is much more complicated than expected. The most basic thing is to build a plasma arc reactor.

Large research equipment is concentrated in the central area, and the most eye-catching is the huge annular vacuum area between the mechanical equipment, which is the basic model of the reactor. The next step is to use it to generate enough huge energy for the micro energy device to release continuously in an instant.

Its core principle is still the combination of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. The process involves a series of complex reactions. At the same time, the huge energy released by these reactions needs to be compressed into a small device. Only in this way can it be integrated into the battle suit.

Obviously, the suit must be light and adaptable to combat needs. Yang Xia also considered making a shield-shaped energy core, which would greatly reduce the difficulty of research.

After all, there is a huge difference between a shield and a micro device. The research and development steps of the former are relatively simpler, while the smaller the device, the more things need to be tried and explored.

"Boss, Mr. Xu and the others are here. We'll come straight in!" McTavish's loud voice came, and his voice arrived before the person arrived.

He asked as he pushed open the door. Yang Xia usually didn't set up access control for them, and they could enter and exit many places in the base freely.

After all, there were only eleven of them in the base, and there were almost no outsiders visiting, so Yang Xia did not consider installing any restriction systems, except for private spaces, such as his bedroom.

Yang Xia's bedroom door is made of the most advanced and durable natural materials provided by the system. It can remain unscathed even if hit by a small missile, and can withstand more intense firepower for a while.

Yang Xia estimated that they would probably come over at this time, so he had already made preparations and everything was in order.

Under normal circumstances, even if a few people from the task force came over and talked for half a day, they might not get a response from Yang Xia, especially when he was fully focused on research and development, he could hardly hear any noise from the outside world.

It was not that he pretended not to hear it, but he really did not hear it. It was as if his ears automatically blocked out all sounds from the outside world, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to research and development.

The members of Task Force 141 and the Black Rose Women's Special Operations Team have long been accustomed to this. They even speculate that it is precisely because of this concentration that Yang Xia can reach heights that others cannot reach.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Tao, and all the generals, long time no see!" Yang Xia greeted them warmly. He was very familiar with the people who came from Jiuzhou Kingdom this time. He had met them on different occasions, so there was no need to be overly polite.

"Mr. Yang, how are you? We just visited your base and it was really eye-opening. Many things are unprecedented. Thanks to you!" Mr. Xu said gratefully.

His words were not just polite words, but came from the heart. After all, this was probably the only place in the world where those high-tech weapons were available. This was not an exaggeration, but a real fact.

Although all countries kept their cutting-edge research secret, they all knew each other's strengths. These things in the base were completely unpredictable and unguessable.

Not to mention they have never seen it, they have never even heard of it, or have only read about it in science fiction novels. Now these science fiction things are actually appearing before their eyes, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are eye-opening.

Yang Xia did not show any pride in this regard. Instead, he said modestly, "It's nothing. It's just a matter of time before some things appear. By the way, it's my fault for not being able to greet you in person. We really couldn't leave someone here just now, and the others are not familiar with the place, so I can only let Price and the others show you around."

What he said was absolutely true. If it wasn't for the important matters at hand, no matter what the reason was, Yang Xia felt that he should greet them in person and introduce the situation of the base to them.

Xu Lao and the others did not mind this. They were already pleasantly surprised to be invited to the base. Moreover, they knew Yang Xia well and did not need to prove anything through external etiquette.

"It's okay. The experiment is important. We don't care whether you accept it or not. By the way, we didn't come here empty-handed this time. I have secured some benefits for you. The headquarters is willing to provide you with some materials. You can use them however you want." Mr. Xu said.

They originally planned to send out only one warship, but because they had to carry various raw materials, they had to send out another warship. However, this actually helped them at a critical moment.

"Materials? That's great. I won't be polite to you." Yang Xia's mind immediately popped up some scarce materials that he had talked about with Mr. Xu before.

It's not that there is a real shortage. He can buy it back from the system at a high price, but he doesn't think it's cost-effective. It's much cheaper to buy it directly from the market, but the problem is that there are special regulations for this material internationally, and it will basically not be sold to individuals unless there is a country as a representative to purchase collectively.

The problem is that Yang Xia's base is not a country. Unfortunately, he does not have the right to purchase it directly. (End of this chapter)
