n“10 billion Blue Moon dollars worth of resources, what do you think?!”

nThe first line of defense required 10.9 billion Blue Moon dollars worth of resources. It would be best if he could get all of them in one go.

n“10 billion?!” Colonel Chu exclaimed in shock, taken aback by the magnitude of the number.

n“Is it too much?”

n“No, no!”

nColonel Chu quickly responded, “I will make a phone call now to check how much rare earth resources are left in the global reserve. Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment!”

nControlled nuclear fusion, this technology can directly elevate the technological level of Earth and initiate a new era of scientific revolution. Its importance is unquestionable. Even if it costs 100 billion, they would find a way to obtain it.

n…..

nIt had been 80 years since the appearance of Earth, and the research on nuclear fusion had never been abandoned. The scientific community still had no clue, and there were too many technologies that were lacking.

nUncontrolled nuclear fusion has been studied since the appearance of Earth 80 years ago, but the scientific community still lacks any significant breakthroughs due to the numerous technological challenges.

nColonel Chu hurriedly left, forgetting to arrange someone to accompany Zhao Yu.

nAs they reached the deepest part of the base, the council members eagerly approached to inquire about the situation.

n“Councilman Chu, is Zhao Yu here to accuse you?”

n” How’s the situation?!”

nColonel Chu responded directly, “We’ll discuss that later. Zhao Yu wants to trade for the nuclear fusion power station…”

n” What?!”

nThe entire room was taken aback.

n“Is he really willing to give us this technology?!”

n“That’s what he said!”

nColonel Chu nodded and continued, “However, the asking price is 10 billion. Do we currently possess that much?!”

n“Forget about 10 billion, I would give him 100 billion!” Councilman Zhou exclaimed excitedly.

n“Hurry, make a call now and find out how many resources are available worldwide…”

nThe representatives were thrilled. Although they didn’t comprehend the scientific details, they were well aware of the significance of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

nInstantly, the entire underground base was filled with the sound of phone conversations. All the staff members were diligently contacting countries around the world to inquire about the quantity of available resources.

nAfter ten minutes, the phone calls gradually ceased, and everyone summed up the numbers they had obtained.

n“How much?”

n“We can only gather around 2 billion…”

n“Is that all?”

n“Most of the resources are still deeply buried underground. These are the ones we can access quickly…”

n“How long will it take to gather 10 billion?!”

n“Approximately a month…”

nColonel Chu returned to the surface after receiving the answer.

nHe briefed them on the current status of resources on Earth

n“10 billion in a month?!”

nZhao Yu furrowed his brow upon hearing that.

nThe reason he offered the nuclear fusion power station was to earn technology points and accumulate 10,000 to upgrade the nuclear fusion technology to the third generation.

nOne month is a bit too long…

nAfter considering for a moment, he spoke, “Do you only have 2 billion now?”

n“Yes…”

n“Then let’s go with 2 billion!”

nAccording to the rules of the Mysterious Merchant, the return of Technology Points required the completion of the transaction between both parties.

nTherefore, in order to obtain the Technology Points quickly, he had to lower the price.

nHowever, the issue of resources was easily solvable. They could establish a few production lines on Blue Moon and send some resources underground.

nColonel Chu was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.

nDeep down, he understood the significant role of controllable nuclear fusion technology in advancing Earth’s technology.

nThe reason why Zhao Yu lowered the price so much in one go was to accelerate the progress of repairing the mothership.

n“2 billion Blue Coins’ worth of resources. It will take about three days to gather them. Also, regarding the location of the nuclear fusion power station…”

n“It would be better to place it in a coastal city. Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen, and it’s more convenient to extract them from seawater…”

nColonel Chu felt a bit concerned and asked, “Mr. Zhao, will there be any radiation from this nuclear power plant?”

nNuclear fission power plants usually produce a large amount of nuclear waste. Although scientists believed that nuclear fusion power generation didn’t generate nuclear waste, he still wanted to clarify to choose the right location.

n“There will be no nuclear waste or radiation,” Zhao Yu replied with certainty.

nColonel Chu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “In that case, I would like to place the nuclear power plant in Shanghai. What do you think?”

n“You can decide as you wish. As long as it’s along the coast…”

nWith the deal settled, Zhao Yu left.

nJust as he returned to Blue Moon, thousands of battleships flew in from outer space.

n“Commander, 500 transport ships carrying protective Shield materials have arrived. They can be installed at any time. Additionally, there are 500 warships stationed at the Blue Moon Base…”

n“Then let’s start the installation. You can make arrangements for the guards and patrols at the Blue Moon Base…”

nThese were all minor tasks. Zhao Yu gave a simple instruction and explained the details of the transaction with the Earth before taking a rest.

n••

n“One minute left until the sale of 100,000 robot workers. Please call 400-800-…”

nAt this moment, all the television programs on Earth were broadcasting the live sale of robot workers

nThese 100,000 units were the production output of the three factories in Chang’an Blue Moon New District.

nWhen any resident of Earth purchased one, they only obtained the right to use it and earn money on behalf of ordinary people. The ownership still belonged to Blue Moon Technology Company.

n“Brothers and sisters, after deducting the five insurances and one fund for each of the 100,000 robots, you’ll have 10,000 Great Xia dollars left after taxes…”

n“Even if you don’t have money on hand, you can participate in an interest-free loan. You can buy first and repay the loan later, and the repayment will be taken care of by the robot…”

nThe popular live streamer Jiaqi was sitting in the live broadcast room, accompanied by an official from Great Xia.

n“I asked our staff in Great Xia. If you take a loan, the monthly deduction would be 8,000, and the total repayment period would be 12.5 years…”

n“This means that once you get this robot worker, you can just relax at home and earn 2,000 yuan every month. The robot will also take care of your insurance and funds…”

n“Furthermore, after 12.5 years, the robot’s loan will be fully repaid, and all the money it earns each month will go into your pocket…”

nAs Jiaqi spoke, she turned to the Great Xia official and asked, “Director Wang, I heard that our robots have an insurance program. Can you provide more details?”

nDirector Wang looked at the camera and smiled, saying, “For a million-dollar robot, the annual insurance premium for the first ten years is only 3,000 dollars. Regardless of any faults, as long as it’s a quality issue, it will be covered and replaced…”

nAs the countdown approached its end, Jiaqi quickly intervened and exclaimed: “Counting down: 3, 2,1, click the link!”

n“Brothers and sisters, don’t miss out…”

nBefore Jiaqi could finish her sentence, a look of shock appeared on her face. “It’s gone, it’s gone! 100,000 robots were sold in just one second…”

n“These are million-dollar robots, and with 100,000 units, that’s 100 billion…”

nJiaqi was taken aback. The total sales she had achieved in an entire year amounted to only 100 billion, but this time, it reached 100 billion in just one second.

nThis was because only 100,000 robots were initially available for sale. The comment section was flooded with comments scrolling at a rate of tens of thousands per second. Many netizens were disappointed that they had missed out on the opportunity.

nObserving the lively comments, Jiaqi hurriedly added, “For those who didn’t manage to get one, don’t worry. The production lines of Blue Moon Technology have already started, and the second batch of 1 million robots is expected to go online in five days…”

n“If you make an appointment now, the queue will be greatly advanced…”

nIn just a few minutes, the number of reservations had exceeded 100 million, and as time passed, the number would increase..
