Chapter 280

Even now, countless people worldwide still suffer from energy shortages.

Although humanity currently possesses various fossil fuels, wind power, hydroelectric power, solar energy, and even nuclear fission power plants,

these energy sources are simply not on the same order of magnitude as the energy produced by nuclear fusion.

It can be said that once humanity masters nuclear fusion technology,

then a major factor restricting human development—energy—will no longer be a problem.

This is especially true for the helium-3 deuterium nuclear fusion involved in this technology.

Although less than 500 kilograms of helium-3 available for mining exists on Blue Star,

there are at least one million tons of helium-3 on the Moon; if fully developed, it would be sufficient for all of Blue Star to use for ten thousand years.

Perhaps developing the Moon might be very difficult for others,

but for Lin Yi, who possesses hyperspace teleportation, it is not necessarily so.

After all, his mercenaries, being system commodities, can also be teleported to the Moon.

In terms of manpower, it is absolutely not a problem.

By then, simply hiring some mining personnel will be entirely sufficient.

However, this is ultimately a piece of technology, not a set of equipment;

for Lin Yi to turn it from blueprints into reality, relying solely on himself is certainly impossible.

Therefore, this technology can only be planned for the long term.

But regardless, his act of crushing the Koreans this time,

forcing the Korean nation to submit to the military might of the DWS Platform, can be said to be extremely perfect.

Not only did it equate to earning 6 billion US dollars from the Korean nation, but it also amounted to acquiring a large number of aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft, nuclear submarines, and destroyers for free.

Beyond that, he unlocked the aerospace category and obtained a piece of nuclear fusion technology.

If this were a game, the drop rate from the Korean nation could simply be described as too abundant.

Of course, his actions have undoubtedly caused a huge uproar across the entire world.

World media have frantically reported on this war, where a sovereign nation with no weak military force surrendered in just a brief two and a half hours.

For instance, CCTV's military programs reported on this war with detailed behind-the-scenes coverage.

Director Zhang, who was originally about to retire, is now extremely busy.

After all, audience demand for him is the highest, so Director Zhang has to rush between various programs every day.

Yet, for the audience, he analyzes this war that caused the Korean nation to surrender so easily from every possible angle.

From equipment to strategy, from military proficiency to weapon parameters, and so on.

According to Director Zhang, the DWS Platform is a well-trained navy with world-class equipment.

Let alone Dragon Nation; even if the Ugly Nation wanted to defeat this navy,

they would have to be prepared for mutual destruction.

As for the host's question regarding where such a massive navy was ultimately hidden,

why, after the war, the entire world could not find the whereabouts of this huge navy—

in fact, this is also a puzzle that many nations and people cannot solve despite endless thought.

Five aircraft carriers and so many ships; although monitoring satellites malfunctioned,

these ships could not possibly have vanished in an instant, could they?

There should have been some traces.

However, various nations, including Dragon Nation's own satellites, searched the sea areas at the time thoroughly and found no traces whatsoever.

The satellites only malfunctioned for a short hour.

Such a massive fleet vanished right under the eyes of the entire globe.

Furthermore, another problem troubling the entire world is exactly where the DWS Platform built these weapons and warships.

The Ugly Nation and Dragon Nation once attempted to find clues by tracking special steel globally.

They believed that no matter how advanced your manufacturing technology is, you still need raw materials.

But the global annual supply of raw materials for warships is limited.

As long as one investigates carefully, some clues should eventually be found.

Both the CIA and the Guoan Bureau have tried in this regard.

Yet, in the end, not a single clue was found.

Moreover, building something like an aircraft carrier always requires a massive construction site,

and initially, some nations suspected it was within Dragon Nation.

But now it appears that is not the case either.

Thus, Director Zhang jokingly said:

"Perhaps they have an underwater processing plant like in sci-fi movies, or a lunar base...!"

However, while the speaker might have just been joking, Lin Yi, watching the program, felt that

the idea of a lunar base was quite good.

But given his current level of technology, wanting to establish a base on the Moon

would be extremely difficult.

Such matters must be planned for the long term.

In fact, Lin Yi still has many ideas for the future.

However, he understood that nothing could be accomplished in a single bite to become a fat man;

matters had to be taken step by step.

Only by solidifying the foundation could one advance to attack and retreat to defend.

At this moment, in the Stick Nation, the government was tallying the losses and contacting the Dragon Nation to expedite the handover of those several criminal coast guards.

To be honest, the Stick Nation government harbored immense hatred for those several troublemaking coast guards.

If not for these few individuals, how could they have suffered such a massive loss of face before the entire world?

Not only had they been subjected to a fierce bombardment, but they had also paid an astronomical compensation of ten billion US dollars.

This incident could be said to be the shame of the Great Universe Nation.

Therefore, the Stick Nation felt not the slightest attachment toward those several criminals.

As for calling them heroes, who in the entire Stick Nation still regarded them as such?

The following day, in Demon City.

Although the internet was abuzz with discussion over this matter,

for Lin Yi, these were all things of the past.

At present, he was leading Li Li Xueying and the other two women to Tangong Villa, the most luxurious residence in Demon City.

Tangong was located on Qingxi Road in Changning District, merely 800 meters from the main artery of Hongqiao Road, five minutes from Hongqiao Airport, ten minutes by car to the Xujiahui and Huaihai Road commercial circles, and twenty minutes by car covering central areas such as People's Square, Nanjing Road, and the Bund.

Since its launch in 2005, it had created record-breaking prices for existing housing.

In 2012 and 2014, it further set records as the king of buildings for second-hand housing at sky-high prices.

It was even hailed as "the number one luxury residence in Shanghai."

Tangong covered a total area of 47,384.6 square meters, comprising only eighteen buildings, with each occupying about four mu (25,000 square meters).

Tangong Villas featured eight styles—including British Royal, British Manor, British Georgian, and Gaulish Fontainebleau—possessing distinct architectural characteristics.

Today, the young agent was showing Lin Yi and the others a British Manor-style villa.

Of course, the first requirement to view properties here was asset verification.

One needed at least two hundred million in cash in their bank card to qualify.

In reality, compared to 470 Tangong, Tomson Riviera, hyped online as Demon City's top luxury residence, was nothing but a little brother.

In terms of both architecture and area, the two were incomparable.

After all, one consisted of large flats and duplexes, while the other comprised villas.

Regarding housing prices, even in 2016, the price here stood at 150,000 per square meter.

Moreover, since there were only eighteen villas, transaction records were scarce.

After all, those capable of living here were either immensely wealthy or exceedingly noble.
