Chapter 98 Smuggling (2/2)



"Then let them research it. This is not a synthetic thing. Spiritual stone should be considered a mineral. If any organization can research it, it would be a miracle." Tang Qingxi said indifferently.

"How could such a valuable thing be sold? Was anyone arrested?" Qian San asked.

"As long as it's not large-scale smuggling and the government isn't planning to arrest you, just consider it as generating income for the people." A soldier answered Qian San's question.

"Why?" Qian San wondered. With these things, some minor illnesses and pains can be cured without medicine, so they should not be sold outside at all.

"Let me give you an answer!" Zhao Siqi took over the topic.

Although Qian San has been in the modern world for such a long time, he has hardly been out and has no interest in the international situation. He immerses himself in studying cooking every day, so he said that.

"We won't be selling the plants from the Gourmet World anytime soon. Furthermore, Spirit Stones are a non-renewable resource. Every bit we use is a waste. We already have enough, so why would we sell them?"

"Let some of it out to satisfy the needs of national leaders and wealthy individuals, and to prevent any of them from taking any risk."

"Is that so?" Qian San understood this time.

"Yes, that's it."

"You don't know, but ever since our country introduced hydrogen metal batteries, powered skeletons, and robotic prosthetics, spies have been active inside our country. I used to think our counterintelligence efforts were quite effective, but I never imagined there would be so many."

"These spies are now trying to get their hands on this technical information. Even if they can't get the information, they'll at least get the actual product."

"You don't know that a few days ago, a man from Province Y had a robotic arm installed and it was removed from his body by a group of Southeast Asians who crossed the border."

"When the police received the report and began investigating, they only found that the robotic arm had entered the transvestite black market in China and disappeared."

"There are bounties of millions on the Southeast Asian black market for prosthetic limbs, and most people are just trying to cash in."

"There was also a man who had been paralyzed for several years and couldn't stand being bedridden. He put on a powered skeleton and went on an overseas trip. The next day, gang members stripped him of his powered skeleton and threw him into a river. Fortunately, a passerby rescued him and called the police; otherwise, he would have drowned."

"The national tourism department has now issued a ban on people with robotic prosthetic limbs and powered skeletons from traveling abroad, lest they get killed."

The soldiers were talking one after another, saying that Tang Qingxi and the others didn't know the news. When they heard it, they were stunned. These things were not reported in the news at all.

Tang Qingxi said angrily, "Why is it so serious? Didn't they say that powered skeletons and mechanical prosthetics could be exported once our own equipment was upgraded? Can't they wait even a little longer?"

"Some people can't wait even a day. Recently, the troops stationed on the border have caught many people crossing the border." A young soldier said indignantly.

This wasn't going to work in the long run, so Tang Qingxi asked the young soldier, "Is there any solution?"

"They say there will be a solution. I suspect they might start exporting prosthetic limbs sooner than expected."

This is also a helpless solution.
