132: Chapter 132 Preparations

Gao Yuan had no interaction with the Dahu, but Black Fish Technology had several agents in the Middle East, including the Amei Group from the Dahu.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan called Zhang Baiyi and asked him to contact the corporate representative of the Amei Group.

They were still in Xia Country. After Gao Yuan made the call, he learned they were in Qinjing.

What a coincidence.

At the office in Qinjing, several Arabs with cloth wrapped around their heads welcomed Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan only brought two Security Robots.

Upon meeting, the corporate representative of the Amei Group gave Gao Yuan a big hug.

"President Gao, we meet again!"

"Mr. Mohammed, a pleasure to meet you!"

"A pleasure, a pleasure! Mr. Gao is truly amazing. We understand technology; whether it's the wrist machine or the Constant Temperature Clothing, they are both so sci-fi, products of the future. The Constant Temperature Clothing is simply tailor-made for us! We need this kind of clothing so much! However, I wonder if you have Constant Temperature Headscarves?"

Uh...

That, we really don't!

Gao Yuan felt a bit awkward.

"Mr. Mohammed, to be honest, I came to discuss something with you!"

"Please speak, Mr. Gao!"

"I want to buy gasoline!"

Mohammed was stunned for a moment. "Gasoline? We have plenty! How much do you want?"

Gao Yuan had the robots calculate it. To create a combustion belt surrounding the Eight Great Capitals, they needed a fire belt at least fifty meters wide. Each meter required 50 liters of gasoline. Shangjing alone was 1,000 kilometers around, needing 50 million liters for Shangjing alone. For the eight capitals, that would be 400 million liters!

"Four hundred million liters!"

Gao Yuan said.

Mohammed frowned and thought. 400 million liters—at about two yuan per liter in the Dahu's country, it would only total a bit over 100 million USD.

"Not much, easy to handle!"

Uh, it seemed Gao Yuan hadn't yet adapted to his current status and position.

To him, 400 million liters of gasoline seemed difficult to manage.

But in the eyes of these Dahu, who exported hundreds of billions of dollars of oil a year, this mere 100 million USD worth of stuff really wasn't much.

"I need it urgently! Also, it doesn't need to be sent to Xia Country!"

"Then where should it be sent?"

"Wait for my word! I'll send you coordinates. When it arrives there, I'll send people to receive it!"

Gao Yuan needed to calculate the corresponding locations in the Real World based on the coordinates of the Eight Great Capitals in the Future World. It was best to deliver it directly to the periphery of the Eight Great Capitals. The Future World was monitored more strictly than the Real World; if he still needed to transport it across the globe with aircraft, he'd be discovered immediately. So, it was best to deliver it to the location in one go.

Surrounding the Eight Great Capitals were towering trees and wildly growing weeds, as well as nuclear radiation. In such an environment, using robots to quietly spread the gasoline would hardly be noticed in a short time...

Gao Yuan also needed to prepare trucks for transporting gasoline and a large number of robots.

To spread the gasoline around the Eight Great Capitals in a short time, a few people certainly wouldn't do. Gao Yuan didn't have much time; he prepared 10,000 robots for each capital. Each robot would be responsible for a small section, and it could be completed within 3 days.

This way, Gao Yuan would need 80,000 robots.

Buying 80,000 robots at once...

This move was too big.

If Gao Yuan really did that, Su Muyan would probably think he was going to attack the Development General Administration headquarters.

So he couldn't buy them; it was better to build them himself.

Moreover, the intelligent robot production line had been sitting in the 2024 Club warehouse. It was the supplies Li Qingmei had procured during their first collaboration.

It would come in handy this time.

Production lines in the Future World were different from those in the Real World. Many production lines in the Real World were actually just for assembling different parts.

But the Future World had long achieved fully intelligent production. Just add raw materials, and like 3D micro-printing, the production line would manufacture all parts at once and finally assemble the finished product.

No manual operation was required.

This was also the ultimate dream of artificial intelligence in industrialization.

Unmanned factories producing various products 24 hours a day without stopping—raw materials go in, finished products come out, with extremely high production efficiency.

The previous wrist machine and Constant Temperature Clothing required very few raw materials...

After all, the weight of the finished product was very small.

But robots were too many. For tens of thousands of robots, the raw materials needed were still substantial, especially since some rare metals were controlled materials.

Gao Yuan remembered that Qin Tiejun still owed him a favor.

So he sent the list of raw materials directly to Qin Tiejun.

Gao Yuan had now completely let go. Since the higher-ups already knew some of his background, what was the point of pretending?

Besides, he also had interstellar warships.

Besides robots, he also needed transportation tools. He couldn't have each person carry a barrel!

To transport 400 million liters of gasoline all at once, if using large tankers, it would require 8,000 of them.

That was too many; it was difficult to purchase so many tankers in a short time.

Gao Yuan still needed to find a way himself. The transport flying cars in the Future World were ordinary vehicles; if they were to transport gasoline, they would need to be modified.

Time couldn't be dragged on for too long.

After all, they couldn't wait on the Vesta side.

If he only set up one capital at a time, he would only need a thousand tankers!

A thousand tankers.

Gao Yuan took a deep breath.

This was still possible.

He left the Dahu's office and returned to Muza. Just after he got back, Qin Tiejun's call came through.

Gao Yuan saw the projected image of Qin Tiejun.

"Director Qin, are you no longer busy?"

"I'm busy, but no matter how busy I am, I have to see what you're doing. Gao Yuan, the list you sent me contains several materials for building spaceships. What do you want them for?"

"To produce space buses!"

Gao Yuan said.

Qin Tiejun was silent for a moment. "Are those space buses the same flying vehicles you used when you wiped out the extremist organization?"

"Yes..."

"I can provide the materials to you, and in unlimited quantities. But for the space buses, can you sell ten of them to the state?"

"Wanting to go to the moon?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Yes, we might need something to boost confidence recently! A moon landing is a great entry point!"

"Director Qin, that's no problem. I can provide the space buses for free..."

"Then what do you want?"

"A thousand tankers!"

"Just buy them directly; you're not short on money!"

"It would take too long for me to buy them. A thousand might take several months or even half a year to a year to deliver! I need the tankers now! I know many state-owned enterprises have tankers, and the military has them too, so I need a thousand! Have them delivered to the Muza Technology Park within three days!"

"Three days... Gao Yuan, what do you need so many tankers for?"

"Director Qin, it's my private business!"

Qin Tiejun wanted to ask more, but he realized that Gao Yuan was actually more qualified than America to have an equal dialogue with the Xia Country authorities. However, because Gao Yuan was from Xia Country and Black Fish Technology was also in Xia Country, he let the Xia Country authorities take advantage of him at every turn!
