"We also need to build a metallurgical plant."

I looked at the unused dock not far away: "Let's choose that place for now, and unload the ore there from now on. Come on! Let's put the ore eel in and see how much ore it has in its belly."

After I finished speaking, I took Aunt Jun and the others over. Once the ore was unloaded, less than a third of it was unloaded, and the dock was already overflowing.

The eel brought back mainly copper ore.

When the other mineral eels return, I'll start to have a headache.

The types of ore are all different, and if we were to build a factory, the entire base probably wouldn't be enough space.

Nangong Xi also thought of it: "Zheng Yang! I'm afraid we can't build that many smelters."

I scratched my head too: "Then what should we do?"

"Why not hand it over to China? We can pay them to refine it for us, and then we can ship it over."

That's one way: "Then I'll leave this to you."

"good!"

At that moment, the Daxia base called to say that Daxia's raw materials, air defense systems, and Wosha's decommissioned missiles had all arrived.

I then led them to receive it.

The raw materials from Daxia solved our urgent problem, at least the factory doesn't have to stop production.

Sall kept his word and left behind the missiles and two transport planes, which were super-large transport planes belonging to the United States.

Nangong Xi also set off today to Daxia to discuss ore processing.

Take my plane.

I began refurbishing those missiles and upgrading their performance.

Two days later, Nangong Xi sent word that the Northeast Military Region had taken on the ore refining project, but they didn't want money; they wanted weapons, and the first batch would be drones.

That's fine; this way, it's mutually beneficial for us.

However, I need to go back to China to sign this document, since Nangong Xi works for the Science and Technology Department and cannot represent me.

There was no other way, so I had to set off. I originally planned to take a commercial flight, but Lu Qianning said:

"Now that the United States is leading the boycott against us, not only are planes no longer transiting through our area, but even ships are rarely coming here."

I reckon Lu Qianning wouldn't have told me if I hadn't used civil aviation services.

She was afraid of upsetting me.

"No problem! If you don't want to come, fine, it saves me the trouble. I'll just fly my fighter jet!"

The first time I attacked Gaim Island, I even managed to take down a few American fighter jets.

It's simply a matter of changing the aircraft registration number and reporting it to Daxia.

I arrived at the airport of the Northeast Army base at noon.

The commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army and Nangong Xi had originally come to welcome me, but upon seeing the American fighter jets, he hesitated to move.

"Wow! Engineer Zheng, you're really capable! A Mei Jun fighter jet! Could you give us one to study? We're willing to pay for it."

I gave a wry smile: "Boss! You really know how to do business; you can find something you like."

“Engineer Zheng! You’re a technical expert, you probably wouldn’t be interested in this kind of thing, but we need it, especially the unlocked kind.”

We can learn a lot from it, and better understand ourselves and our enemy.

"We won't be caught off guard when we encounter the US Air Force in the future."
