223: Chapter 223 Unlocking the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite Missile

Li Yi used the Multiverse Arms Trading System to teleport to Serbia, where he collected 20 million tons of coal and delivered half of the armored vehicles and the remaining anti-aircraft missiles; only one more batch of weapons and equipment remained to be delivered.

Finally, he arrived in Pakistan, where he collected 20 million tons of coal, along with 10 million tons each of molybdenite and copper ore, and delivered the armored vehicles. The remaining weapons and equipment would be delivered next month.

After this collection, the Multiverse Arms Trading System had accumulated a significant amount of mineral resources, including "4,890,070,325 barrels" of oil, "254,800,081,524 cubic meters" of natural gas, "2,800,072,410 tons" of coal, "200,000,850 tons" of molybdenite, and "300,000,102 tons" of copper ore; the quantities were substantial.

Currently, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, and others still had a significant amount of mineral resources yet to be delivered; once delivered, the resources stored in the Multiverse Arms Trading System would be even greater.

Just as Li Yi was preparing to teleport back to Pengcheng via the Multiverse Arms Trading System, Major General Faye suddenly contacted him, reporting that there was an issue with the purchased Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi realized this could damage his reputation as an arms dealer and quickly asked, "What exactly is the problem with the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile?"

Major General Faye replied quickly, "After launching the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, it used to hit targets accurately, but now it is deviating from its targets. Furthermore, the Tianlei Missile Defense System cannot lock onto all incoming enemy targets, resulting in many missed targets, and it is failing to destroy all of Israel's targets."

Li Yi asked, "Has it been subjected to interference or sabotage?"

Major General Faye said, "I believe so. However, after investigating the cause, we have yet to discover any of Israel's interference equipment, neither on land nor in the air."

If the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile were being interfered with, it would indeed affect the accuracy of its attacks, eventually leading to deviations from the target. If left unresolved, it would very likely impact the sales of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.

After all, no country's military would want a weapon system that is easily susceptible to interference.

Li Yi asked, "How long has this been happening?"

"It's only been happening for a day or two," Major General Faye said. "We initially thought it was an operator error in locking onto enemy targets with the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, but after multiple instances of deviations, we realized something was wrong."

"On which battlefields is this problem primarily occurring?"

"It is occurring on several battlefields along the border with Israel."

Li Yi said, "Alright, I understand. We will send someone to investigate the cause."

After hanging up, Li Yi considered the situation and decided to go to Aqaba to see if he could identify the cause. To facilitate the investigation, Li Yi spent 50 million yuan through the Multiverse Arms Trading System to purchase a Tianlei Missile Defense System, along with a set of electronic warfare equipment capable of identifying the source of the interference signals.

Li Yi teleported directly to a remote area in Aqaba via the Multiverse Arms Trading System, immediately deployed the electronic warfare equipment, and began collecting and analyzing various signals originating from Israel.

After collecting and analyzing the data, he quickly concluded that no signals capable of interfering with the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile could be found on land, in the air, or at sea.

Li Yi searched again, but still to no avail.

Could the interference signal be coming from somewhere further away?

Li Yi suddenly wondered if the source of the interference could be a satellite. After a quick search, he indeed discovered intermittent interference signals being transmitted from space.

It seemed that was indeed the case. Li Yi had found the source of the interference signals, but his existing weapons and equipment were incapable of blocking them.

After retrieving the electronic warfare equipment, Li Yi immediately teleported back to Pengcheng via the Multiverse Arms Trading System. After all, Aqaba was not entirely safe; it was better to leave and figure out a solution later.

The simplest solution was to find a weapon capable of shooting down the satellite transmitting the interference signals, but among the weapons and equipment already unlocked in the Multiverse Arms Trading System, Li Yi could not find anything capable of shooting down a satellite.

Li Yi hurriedly asked the Multiverse Arms Trading System, "Does the system sell weapons capable of attacking satellites?"

The Multiverse Arms Trading System quickly provided an answer: "Once the host's arms purchase amount exceeds 1 trillion yuan, you can unlock a 'Tianqiong' Anti-Satellite Missile, which can be used to attack satellites."

It seemed he would have to unlock new weapons. Li Yi had no choice but to purchase a batch of weapons and equipment to stockpile.

He had previously purchased over 456.5676 billion yuan worth of arms, leaving a shortfall of over 540 billion yuan to reach 1 trillion yuan, which was a significant amount.

To make up such a large amount by purchasing army equipment like anti-aircraft missiles or armored vehicles, the quantity required would be quite large.

It seemed that only by purchasing naval or air force equipment could he reach the 500+ billion yuan mark faster.

Previously, after his arms purchases exceeded 1 billion yuan and he unlocked the Eagle Series fighter jets and War Tiger Series bombers, Li Yi hadn't checked the status of any newly unlocked aircraft.

Now that he had successively unlocked three tiers of weapons and equipment—10 billion, 100 billion, and 500 billion yuan—there should be quite a few models of Eagle Series fighter jets and War Tiger Series bombers available.

Li Yi looked through the various models of fighter jets and bombers.

The first was the Eagle Type IV jet multi-role fighter.

It had an empty weight of 11,750 kilograms, a maximum takeoff weight of 25,000 kilograms, and a payload capacity of 5,500 kilograms.

It had a range of 3,600 kilometers and a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers.

Its weapons included the Lightning Type IV air-to-air missile and a cannon, with a missile range of 65 kilometers.

The system was priced at 40 million yuan, with the accompanying air-to-air missiles costing 1.8 million yuan each and cannon shells costing 60,000 yuan per 10,000 rounds.

The second was the Eagle Type V jet multi-role fighter.

It had an empty weight of 12,650 kilograms, a maximum takeoff weight of 28,000 kilograms, and a payload capacity of 8,500 kilograms.

It had a range of 4,200 kilometers and a combat radius of 1,800 kilometers.

Its weapons included the Lightning Type V air-to-air missile, air-to-ground missiles, and cruise missiles, with a missile range of 120 kilometers.

The system was priced at 60 million yuan, with the accompanying air-to-air missiles costing 2.2 million yuan each.

The third was the Eagle Type VI jet multi-role fighter.

It had an empty weight of 14,200 kilograms, a maximum takeoff weight of 30,000 kilograms, and a payload capacity of 10,200 kilograms.

It had a range of 4,800 kilometers and a combat radius of 2,200 kilometers.

Its weapons included the Lightning Type VI air-to-air missile, air-to-ground missiles, and cruise missiles, with a missile range of 200 kilometers.

The system was priced at 80 million yuan, with the accompanying air-to-air missiles costing 2.8 million yuan each.

This fighter jet already possessed stealth capabilities, its maneuverability had been greatly improved, and its weapon performance was also extremely advanced.
