Chapter 30: I Refuse!

By the time Ye Cang woke up again, three days had already passed.

Just having woken up, his body was extremely weak, to the point where he couldn't even speak.

However, Ye Cang was not panicked; he knew this was because his own energy consumption had been too great, and he just needed to replenish his energy.

And the days that followed were a time for recuperation.

After recuperating for a full half-month, Ye Cang's condition finally improved, though it was still a bit behind that of an ordinary person, but it did not affect his mobility.

As for why the recovery was so fast, it was thanks to Shen going to the Underground Base to retrieve his special Nutrient Solution for Ye Cang.

However, after retrieving the Nutrient Solution, Shen brought Ye Cang some not-so-good news.

That was, the group of researchers at the Underground Base had discovered the miraculous effects of the Nutrient Solution, so they were hooking themselves up to the Nutrient Solution to conduct scientific research.

This left Ye Cang so shocked he couldn't speak.

This group of researchers was just too crazy!

Consequently, Ye Cang stopped recuperating and rushed directly to the Underground Base.

Now he was very worried about the situation of those researchers.

However, after Ye Cang arrived at the Underground Base, even though Shen had already prepared him for it, he was still badly frightened when he saw it with his own eyes.

He saw that all the researchers were even thinner than before, and each person had a bottle of Nutrient Solution hooked up to them.

This situation had turned straight from an Undead Scourge into a Resident Evil.

At this moment, they were oblivious to Ye Cang's arrival, still busy with their work.

Seeing this scene, Ye Cang rushed forward in a hurry to stop them.

"All of you, stop right now! Are you really not valuing your lives? Is this how you behave? Hooking yourselves up to Nutrient Solution to do research?"

"There's no such thing as courting death like this!"

However, the moment Ye Cang's voice fell.

A researcher stood up and said, "Chief Engineer Ye, we are both researchers, you should be able to understand!"

"With this epoch-making technology placed before us, we can't control ourselves; we just want to research it intensely!"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of paper from his side.

"Look, we've already calculated all the data for the Nantianmen Project?"

"Now, the prototype of the Xuannv has also come out! We can enter mass production next!"

As he spoke, the man revealed a fanatical expression.

And Ye Cang was shocked.

Good heavens, he had just been offline for half a month, and the prototype of the Xuannv Aerospace Fighter had been hammered out?!

And it was already ready for mass production!

Even with a buff, it was still unimaginable!

That researcher looked at the silent Ye Cang and said again, "By the way, Chief Engineer Ye, we had some questions we wanted to report to you half a month ago."

"But you left too suddenly, and we didn't have time to say them."

Hearing this, Ye Cang came back to his senses.

"Ah, I had an emergency that day, so I left in a hurry, but I have time now, so tell me what the problem is."

After hearing this, the researcher immediately led Ye Cang to the area where the Luanbird Aerospace Carrier Platform was stored.

Then he pointed at the Luanbird and said, "It's like this, we have already achieved the best possible results for the Luanbird in all aspects at the current stage."

"However, we have discovered two fatal flaws in the Luanbird."

"The first flaw is the shield issue; the current Plasma Shield can only defend against energy attacks like electromagnetic pulses, but it cannot defend against physical attacks, such as missiles, which is a flaw."

"The second is the concealment issue of the Luanbird; although you provided the full-spectrum stealth material, we have experimented and found that it fails in severe weather conditions."

"So we are now in urgent need of a stable, full-spectrum, all-concealment material!"

After listening to these two problems, Ye Cang nodded and began to think about how to solve them.

First, the shield problem: the Plasma Shield can only defend against directed-energy weapons, such as lasers and electromagnetic pulses, but its defense against conventional ammunition is almost zero.

At this time, a Force Field Shield is needed!

This thing is truly high-end technology; the old rule is to ask the system for it.

Secondly, the full-spectrum stealth problem; how to solve this issue was something Ye Cang had already mentioned in previous chapters!

That is Du Kaao's Dark Alloy!

Hehehe!

Thinking of this, Ye Cang took out his phone and dialed the number for Du Kaao's office directly.

Soon, the call connected.

Seeing that the call was connected, Ye Cang stated his purpose directly.

"Hello, General Du, this is Ye Cang. I remember you said you would support me with materials for building the Nantianmen Project, and now I need some Dark Alloy."

"About..."

Saying this, Ye Cang turned his head to size up the Luanbird.

Then he stated a quantity that made Du Kaao jump three feet high.

"Let's start with one ton; if it's not enough, I'll ask you for more."

After Du Kaao on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, he let out a heaven-shaking roar.

The Juxia beneath him even trembled slightly.

"How much!"

"One ton?!"

"Ye Cang, is there something wrong with your brain! Do you think Dark Alloy is scrap metal! And you want a ton! Do you know how high the production cost of Dark Alloy is!"

"At present, Huaxia is simply unable to synthesize complete Dark Alloy; it can only be obtained through other channels!"

"You actually opened your mouth and asked for a ton!"

Listening to Du Kaao's roar over the phone, Ye Cang felt a bit guilty for the first time.

It was the first time he had heard Du Kaao roar, so it was clear that he had truly lost his composure.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang coughed lightly.

"A ton is indeed a bit much. How about this: 500 jin at the very least, and I don't want Dark Alloy synthesized from Dark Iron; I want Dark Alloy synthesized from the same Dark Titanium used by the Super Soldier Company!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Du Kaao on the other end of the phone fell silent.

After a long while, Du Kaao finally spoke.

"Ye Cang, how do you know about Dark Iron and Dark Titanium? This is not something you should know. Did Morgana tell you?"

"Furthermore, your Nantianmen Project doesn't need to use Dark Alloy at all, unless you want other countries on Earth to be unable to detect you!"

"And the only purpose for not letting other countries detect you is to launch an attack! You want to start a war! Ye Cang!"

"Starting a war to please Morgana?!"

"It seems you and Morgana have reached some... agreement..."

Du Kaao's accusation left Ye Cang completely stunned.

He had reached an agreement with Morgana?

How come he didn't know about this?

Oh!

Ye Cang figured it out.

It must be that Du Kaao saw something through the Deno No. 3 Satellite and added his own assumptions.

However, this couldn't be blamed on Du Kaao; anyone in his position would likely have similar thoughts.

But Ye Cang would not be polite because of this.

"Du Kaao, do less of this childish business of pinning labels on people!"

"Reaching an agreement with a Demon is no different from courting destruction; I'm not that stupid!"

"I have said everything that needs to be said now. Are you going to give me the Dark Alloy or not!"

As soon as the voice fell, Du Kaao answered decisively: "No!"

"Even if you don't have any agreement with Morgana, the Nantianmen Project possessing Dark Alloy is no different from a weapon of mass destruction!"

"Once you possess such a destructive weapon, you will definitely drag Earth into endless flames of war. I cannot let history repeat itself!"

"Therefore, I refuse to provide the Dark Alloy!"
