Chapter 239: As You Wish (Part II)

Several massive shipping containers suddenly appeared inside the dock. Not only were the Russians startled, but even the Pioneer, who had been following closely behind Sun Cheng, wore an expression of terror on his face.

Ever since entering the shipyard, his Core had never ceased scanning, which was why he was even more terrified than the Russians; he had not captured any changes when the containers appeared.

"Your Excellency, please take..."

With a snap of his fingers, the several massive shipping containers, which he had personally modified, simultaneously had their five sides automatically retract as if they were disintegrating, revealing the equipment packed inside.

This transaction with the Russians concerned a steady stream of rare metals and uranium ore in the future, so Sun Cheng had no intention of cutting corners. He not only brought everything stipulated in the previous agreement but also included two extra new gadgets.

At that moment, he looked toward the only shipping container not yet opened nearby. Inside it was the trump card he had prepared for Russia—a brand-new product he had not shown the Russians during his first contact with Moscow: a Commercial Thermonuclear Reactor!

The so-called Commercial Thermonuclear Reactor was actually a type of small thermonuclear reactor that Atlas and the others had casually manufactured while designing a thermonuclear reactor for their own use at Base No. 2.

If classified according to technology on Earth, it could be categorized as generation four-and-a-half. The volume of its core equipment was only one-ninth that of the commercial nuclear reactor used in the nuclear power plant Russia built for Brazil, yet its power output was nearly three times higher.

By extension, even if Russia's own domestic nuclear reactor technology were more advanced, it would absolutely not reach this level.

He believed that for a nuclear power giant like Russia, the temptation should be quite significant.

Sun Cheng's straightforward action caused Dmitri, whose nerves had been taut for fear that he might suddenly lash out, to involuntarily heave a sigh of relief.

After whispering for a moment with an accompanying military general, the other party soon left. Not long after, dozens of Russian technicians, who looked to be at least forty years old, flooded into the dock and began to inspect the equipment he had brought for the trade.

Sun Cheng watched them work with interest, but it was clear that although his Workers were few in number, their efficiency was higher.

Soon, two Workers returned to his side with excitement still lingering on their faces, reporting to him.

"Master, the items have been inspected. Except for the enriched uranium ore being half of what was agreed upon, everything else is all there!"

Workers could perform inspections through scanning; the efficiency was not only fast but also precise.

Their words immediately caused an unhappy expression to appear on Sun Cheng's face. He turned to look at Dmitri and asked coldly, "Prime Minister, my Workers have finished their inspection. Your human petty tricks make me very unhappy. The enriched uranium is half of what was scheduled; I need an explanation..."

Upon hearing this, while Dmitri was shocked by the speed of the Mechanical Life's calculation, he could not help but feel a bit embarrassed, as it was he who had proposed reducing the share of enriched uranium.

Uranium ore was a strategic resource on Earth. Even though the low-enriched uranium they used for trade could only be used for power generation and lacked the danger of being weaponized, every bit of this stuff traded away meant less for their own domestic use.

However, he was a politician after all, and his craftiness was extremely deep.

Even though there was some fluctuation in his heart, Dmitri wore a troubled expression on his face and replied, "Your Excellency Frenzy, the difficulty of mining uranium ore is extremely high, and we do not have much reserve in our country. It was truly impossible to mobilize so much finished enriched uranium in one week!"

These words, naturally, could only fool those who were uninformed.

Sun Cheng let out a cold snort; these seemingly boorish Russians could be just as treacherous as anyone when they set their minds to it.

He had seriously investigated Russia. Although he was not clear exactly how much stock the Russians held, it was definitely not a small amount.

At that moment, he walked to the unopened shipping container, reached out and tapped it lightly, and the next moment, the shipping container disappeared. "I hate people who do not keep their word. It seems the little gift I prepared for you is unnecessary!"

Subsequently, he walked back in front of Dmitri and the others, leaned down slightly, and his expression turned somewhat ferocious: "As punishment for your breach of faith, we want the other Typhoon-class nuclear submarine docked in the military port. Let that serve as compensation for your breach of faith!"

Upon hearing this, Dmitri's face could not help but turn ugly.

Although he did not know what was inside that shipping container, he figured it should not be anything inferior.

And for merely being short half of the agreed-upon enriched uranium, the other party had actually opened their mouth to demand another Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine; this was a fact that Russia could hardly accept.

Just as he was about to argue with a livid face, he heard Sun Cheng domineeringly interrupt, "This is the first time, and I hope it is the last. Otherwise, we really need to consider changing to a different partner!"

After speaking, he snorted coldly at Dmitri and the others with a stern expression, then turned to look at the Russian technicians who were still testing the equipment he had provided.

"A waste of time!"

With a wave of his hand, rows of neatly standing industrial robots and Combat Robots appeared on the surrounding open ground, instantly making the atmosphere inside the dock somewhat tense.

Sun Cheng noticed this, but Russia's breach of faith made him somewhat angry, so he pretended not to see it and directly summoned two Workers, ordering: "Workers, take the robots and go start up the equipment!"

In the instant their gazes met, he had already transmitted the control programs and functions of the industrial robots to the two Workers.

After digesting all the data a moment later, the two Workers looked at the five neat rows totaling fifty industrial robots in front of them, and expressions of excitement could not help but appear on their faces.

"Master, leave it to us!"

They immediately commanded the industrial robots to step forward and quickly started the Five-axis Linkage CNC Machine Tool and other equipment manufactured by Atlas and the others. Because the operating language of the equipment had already been debugged into Russian, the Russian technicians crowded around to observe, soon realized the advanced nature of these devices, and excitedly crowded forward, asking questions one after another.

"Alright, Prime Minister. I believe our transaction should be concluded... The equipment is all here. I think your technicians know its performance better than anyone. I have brought the Workers for manufacturing the 【Yasen-class Modified Attack Nuclear Submarine】; they will build two nuclear submarines for you here. As for the one beside me, he will be responsible for the safety of my Workers at North Port... Then I should take my leave... The next transaction will be in one month as you requested. I hope you will not disappoint me again next time..."
