187: As long as you have enough money, there is nothing you can’t buy

At the same time, it wasn't just the Western Countries Overseas that were startled by the Blade of Dawn's powerful combat capabilities.

Even Ye Guhong and Zhao Zizhen were equally shocked.

“This, Lin’s mech, is a bit too strong,” Ye Guhong said.

Looking at the formidable combat capabilities displayed by the Blade of Dawn, Ye Guhong and the others immediately convened another video conference, all of them immensely shaken.

“Lin is really something; he didn’t even reveal a single piece of information about such a powerful mech to us before.”

Dr. Chu slapped his forehead; as the head of the Armed Forces Department, he could immediately discern the extraordinary strategic significance and importance of the Blade of Dawn mech at this stage.

Now, looking at the Blade of Dawn mech in the live broadcast, he was practically drooling with envy: “If we could get a few of these mechs for our Armed Forces Department, hehe, hehehe…”

Dr. Chu could hardly imagine what an invincible scene it would be on the battlefield if they could possess a few such mechs.

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Zizhen: “I say, Old Zhao, what’s going on with you? Lin is in your Great Science Academy, and you weren’t even aware of such an important matter beforehand. This Blade of Dawn mech can be called a super weapon, and now it’s being displayed worldwide, which isn’t good as it allows them to be prepared.”

He rubbed his hands; in Dr. Chu’s opinion, it would be best if this mech wasn't shown to others, but rather kept as a trump card.

Zhao Zizhen immediately glared at him in annoyance: “If Lin doesn’t tell me about the things he researches, can I chase him down and ask him?”

“Besides, since Lin has publicly released it, he certainly isn’t afraid of the Western Countries stealing his techniques or preparing defenses. With this technology and combat capability, do you really think the Western Countries can learn it or defend against it?”

Dr. Chu paused slightly, then said, “That’s true. To defend against this thing, I’m afraid it would take an entire regiment’s worth of power to hold it head-on.”

Watching the two of them argue, Ye Guhong suddenly laughed: “Representatives from the Dahu Country are asking again if the Blade of Dawn mech is for sale, and they are willing to pay any price.”

“Uh… this thing definitely can’t be sold! This is a super weapon!” Dr. Chu immediately stopped arguing with Zhao Zizhen and stated his position.

“Do you know what their initial offer was?” Ye Guhong asked with a smile.

“How much?” Dr. Chu subconsciously responded.

“This much!”

Ye Guhong extended a finger, then stated a jaw-dropping astronomical figure:

“One hundred billion!”

“Those rich Readers said they are willing to pay one hundred billion dollars for each Blade of Dawn mech. If we are willing to sell, we can discuss further!”

“…” Dr. Chu, who had just insisted on not selling, was directly speechless.

One hundred billion dollars!

The price was suffocating!

Ye Guhong turned to look at Zhao Zizhen: “Old Zhao, ask Lin if this thing can be sold.”

“Are you really planning to sell it?” Zhao Zizhen was also a bit hesitant.

Ye Guhong said leisurely: “Those rich Readers have always believed in one principle, which is, there is truly nothing priceless in this world; if there is, it’s just that not enough money has been offered.”

“Before, I didn’t quite agree with that statement, but now, at a price of one hundred billion dollars per unit, to be honest, I’m also very tempted.”

“If Lin has other countermeasures against the Blade of Dawn mech, selling a few units would cover all our expenses.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zizhen’s expression subtly changed. Looking at Ye Guhong, he said in a strange tone, “You’ve changed. You’re actually moved by money, even wanting to sell such a super weapon.”

“Haha, I admit, I’m also starting to agree with the philosophy of those rich Readers now: as long as enough money is offered, there’s nothing that can’t be bought.” Ye Guhong laughed heartily.

He originally didn’t want to sell it, but those rich Readers offered too much.

“Then I’ll ask.” Seeing this, Zhao Zizhen said nothing more and sent a message to Lin Yang to inquire.

This mech was indeed a super weapon, but if there were countermeasures, selling a few units would actually be harmless.

In the laboratory, Lin Yang smiled when he saw the message from Zhao Zizhen.

He had made this thing with the intention of selling it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically had the Blade of Dawn demonstrate various combat capabilities!

The deliberate display was precisely to attract those Dahu Country who were rich but lacked strength.

Those Dahu Country, lacking their own scientific research capabilities, relied almost entirely on purchasing military power from other countries.

A single Blade of Dawn mech would be enough to give them strong confidence, so they wouldn't have to worry about certain countries launching wars to seize their energy resources.

It was impossible for them not to be tempted.

Now, his guess had indeed come true.

One hundred billion dollars per unit, and still open for negotiation – this price could be said to be a huge profit!

As for countermeasures, he certainly had them.

The most direct method was to leave a backdoor in the mech’s system, preventing the mech from causing any attacks against the country.

This way, no matter how many mechs were sold, they would be safe for the country.

He simply joined the video conference directly and told Ye Guhong and the others that the Blade of Dawn could be sold.

“But, it’s best not to take money. We want their resources. If they truly have no resources left, then use money to make up the difference,” Lin Yang stated his plan.

“Want resources? Not money?” Ye Guhong and the others were somewhat surprised.

“Yes, currently, all powerful nations worldwide are exchanging resources and technology with the Aliens on the Moon. It can be foreseen that before we gain the ability to mine resources from other planets, rare resources on Blue Star will only become scarcer. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to acquire all the resources we can get our hands on,” Lin Yang explained.

Money, to put it plainly, is just a piece of paper.

Although it can buy resources, those powerful nations will not easily sell resources.

The Dahu Country in the Central District, because they don't even have the capability to launch lunar probes, don't even have the chance to exchange materials with the Moon.

However, they possess resource reserves accumulated over nearly a hundred years of modern history.

Lin Yang was eyeing precisely those reserve resources held by the Dahu Country.

If they didn’t take their resources now, once Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce reacted, the resources in the hands of these Dahu Country would most likely be seized.

Lin Yang's true objective was to preempt Unpretty and them from starting to seize resources by first taking over the Dahu Country's century-long reserves, thereby preventing Unpretty and them from having enough materials to support the construction of mining spacecraft to extract resources from other planets.

He wanted to completely cut off the only hope and path for Unpretty and them.

These two countries, having been exploited so much by him using the identity of Aliens, still stubbornly continued to exchange technology with Tiangong Base, simply hoping to compensate for their losses by mining resources from other planets later.

How could Lin Yang truly let them have their way?

Resources on other planets in the Solar System could only belong to the country and his own Tiangong Base.

Unpretty and them shouldn’t even think about it!
