Chapter 470: Earning all the private savings of socialites worldwide!

Meanwhile, at the Blue Ocean Deep Sea Base, Laboratory No. 3.

In front of the huge circular screen, Su Yue sat in a swivel chair, holding a modified remote control for an airplane model in her hand.

A half-eaten bag of shrimp chips sat at her feet, and on the control panel in front of her, lines of green code were flashing wildly.

"Huo Wenxuan, stop shaking. That's an antenna, not your Parkinson's hand," Su Yue said without turning her head.

Huo Wenxuan stood on the terrace, trembling as he held up a signal receiver that looked like a dish lid. The sea breeze made him look like a withered leaf clinging to a treetop: "Su... Su Ancestor, are you sure this thing can fly back? This is a model airplane engine I bought from Germany at a huge price! What if it falls into the sea..."

"If you fall into the sea, I'll throw you in and retrieve you." Su Yue slammed the control lever.

"Buzz—!"

An extremely faint buzzing sound came from the catapult rails at the top of the base.

A black "bird" with a wingspan of two meters and its entire body coated with wave-absorbing material, propelled by the catapult, pierced the night sky like a sharp arrow and headed straight for the vast sea.

This is the first-generation "drone" that Su Yue cobbled together using discarded radar parts, imported model aircraft engines, and miniature infrared sensors.

Although rudimentary, this thing was definitely cutting-edge technology in the 1970s.

On the screen, the static flickered a few times, and then the image suddenly became clear.

In thermal imaging mode, the originally pitch-black sea surface turned dark blue.

Less than two nautical miles from Gu Beichen's fleet, three high-speed speedboats stood out in a striking orange-red color, like red oil boiling in cold soup.

"Got you." Su Yue chewed on a shrimp cracker, her fingers flying across the keyboard. "Coordinate transmission, wind resistance correction."

maritime.

The walkie-talkie at Gu Beichen's waist suddenly vibrated. There was no static, only Su Yue's clear and calm voice, transmitted directly through an encrypted channel.

"At the eleven o'clock position, 1,800 meters away. Three ships, arranged in a triangular formation. The one in the middle with the deepest draft is probably the 'cargo'."

Gu Beichen grabbed the communicator and said without hesitation, "Number one gun position, 11 o'clock, 1800 meters, elevation correction three degrees. Armor-piercing shell, fire!"

"boom!"

The flames instantly tore through the night.

The shells whistled across the sea and struck the bow of the speedboat in the middle with pinpoint accuracy.

The massive explosion sent up a water column several meters high, capsizing the speedboat on the sea.

The other two speedboats were clearly stunned.

Their prized jamming technology seemed utterly useless at this moment. The enemy was like they had a global cheat code; every shell they fired seemed to have eyes.

"Hard to port! Retreat!" came a terrified shout from the other side's communication channel. "The intelligence is wrong! This isn't a patrol! This is the main force of the regular army!"

"Trying to run?" Su Yue chuckled as she looked at the two dots on the screen that were trying to escape in different directions. She pushed the control stick again. "Commander Gu, I want the one in the black clothes alive. The box he's carrying is mine."

The drone traced an eerie arc in the air before swooping down. A specially designed smoke grenade, mounted under its belly, was precisely deployed.

"puff--"

Thick red smoke exploded in the cockpit of the speedboat on the left.

Gu Beichen watched the red smoke rising in the distance, a cold, hard smile curving his lips. He grabbed a heavy machine gun and placed one foot on the ship's railing.

"First Company, blockade the right flank; Second Company, follow me. Take that one in the red smoke alive."

Da da da—

A dense hail of bullets crisscrossed the sea, forming a fiery net.

Twenty minutes later, the battle ended.

All three speedboats were rendered unusable.

The "man in black" who tried to jump into the sea to escape was pulled out of the water by Gu Beichen like a chick.

“Pfizer Security Department?” Gu Beichen ripped off a metal badge from the other man’s collar and tossed it into the sea. “They’ve got a long reach.”

He turned to look at the suitcase that Su Yue had specifically asked for. The suitcase was waterproof, but the combination lock had been forcibly broken.

Gu Beichen opened the box.

There were no gold bars or weapons inside.

There was only a box full of biological samples sealed in a liquid nitrogen tank, and a stack of analysis reports on the water quality and soil around the Blue Ocean Pharmaceutical Factory.

"Stealing my soil?" Gu Beichen closed the box and kicked the prisoner in the stomach. "Take him away. Go back and tell your master that this sea belongs to the Gu family."

The spoils were delivered to Su Yue's laboratory overnight.

Su Yue, wearing a white lab coat and rubber gloves, disdainfully rummaged through the pile of things.

Besides the soil samples, she also found a bottle of face cream in the female agent's handbag.

"This is what they call an international brand?" Su Yue unscrewed the cap, sniffed the strong industrial fragrance, and frowned so deeply she could trap a fly. "Mineral oil, petroleum jelly, and a tiny bit of cheap lanolin. They dare to sell this stuff for fifty dollars a bottle?"

Chen Xinyue, who was taking notes nearby, was astonished upon hearing this: "Fifty US dollars? That's several hundred yuan! Enough for our factory workers to eat for a year!"

“That’s because they’ve never seen anything good before.” Su Yue threw the bottle of face cream into the trash can, took off her gloves, and said, “Xin Yue, empty the second fermentation tank. I need to do some side work.”

"sideline?"

“We’re almost out of money for the equipment. We can’t keep letting that sucker Huo Wenxuan pay for everything.” Su Yue walked to the lab bench and took out a tube of light blue liquid from the freezer.

It was an active enzyme that she accidentally extracted from deep-sea red algae while researching bacteriophages. This substance has moderate bacterial killing power, but it has extremely powerful effects on cell repair and anti-oxidation.

If you rub it on a cut apple, it won't oxidize and turn yellow for three days.

"Add some deep-sea pearl powder, and then add our purified aloe vera gel." Su Yue muttered as she mixed the ingredients, "Since those foreign devils want to steal our technology, let's make all the money from their women's private stash first."

One week later.

A face cream called "Eternal Light" quietly appeared in the socialite circles of the port city.

There were no advertisements, no press conferences, only the fact that the old lady of the Huo family casually gave a few bottles to her mahjong friends at an afternoon tea party.

The effect is nuclear explosion level.

In just three days, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, whose face was originally covered with age spots, had skin as smooth as a peeled egg.

The entire Hong Kong high society was in an uproar.

"Grandma Huo! Do you still have that face cream? I'll pay double the price!"

"Double? I'll pay ten times! I want a whole case!"

Blue Ocean Pharmaceuticals' phone lines were ringing off the hook.

Some foreign buyers even fly to the island specifically to purchase a bottle of the "legendary oriental holy water".

Su Yue sat in her office, listening to Huo Wenxuan report on sales figures.
