"That's true, but the current situation must be resolved now!"
"We know time is important, and they know it very well, which is why they attacked collectively, not giving us any time to prepare!"
Wang Zhijun, one of the seven standing committee members, said, "I'm worried that if this drags on, it will cause immeasurable and serious losses to China! After all, it's not just those few guys who are putting pressure on us!"
Hearing this, the others present felt a hidden resentment but were helpless.
The meteorite incident was too big!
So big that not only was the Chinese internet abuzz, but even major foreign media outlets reported on it one after another… And those foreign mainstream media, for fear that the matter wasn't big enough,
seized upon the Iron Man technology and liquid metal technology, exaggerating and hyping them in various ways, so that now almost the whole world knows that China possesses two extraordinary technologies!
Coupled with the leadership of big powers like the United States, Britain, and France, other smaller countries naturally followed suit, beginning to harbor thoughts of acquiring the technology…
If they could get their hands on this, it would be extraordinary! It might even be possible for them to turn the tables and transform from small countries into major powers in one fell swoop!
Therefore, if this collective pressure were to fully descend, it would likely cause immeasurable and serious economic losses to China in various fields.
For a time, everyone fell silent, their expressions somber.
China was in a period of booming economic development. Because of its rapid growth, its international status was continuously rising, and public support was steadily increasing, allowing their positions to be secure…
Once severely hit, with economic development slowing, grievances would arise from all sides, inevitably leading to a loss of public support!
By then, China's international status would drop to rock bottom, and their positions and voice would also be precarious!
"One wrong move can affect the whole game" perfectly described the current situation!
"I think…"
Sun Yi, one of the seven standing committee members who had remained silent, spoke at this moment, "Whether it's the Iron Man or that liquid metal technology, ultimately, it's not in our hands, but in that little guy's mind!"
"Perhaps we can listen to his suggestions!"
At his words, the expressions of the others subtly changed.
Indeed, their so-called unwillingness to hand over the technology was fundamentally untrue… because the technology was never in their hands to begin with!
And the Patriot had been brought back a long time ago. The Chinese Academy of Sciences had long established a research group to study it…
They had many findings, but none could truly be called a major discovery!
So, strictly speaking, the target of pressure from those allied nations was not China—it was Su Yan!
"Let someone make the arrangements. Clear all tomorrow's schedule. We will all go and meet this little guy!"
Xu Qing, one of the seven standing committee members and also China's supreme leader, stated.
"Seven people going to meet him together?" Li Changyu frowned, "Isn't that a bit… inappropriate? Wouldn't that be too grand a display? And…"
He didn't finish his sentence.
But the other six understood his meaning.
A little guy, and all seven of China's supreme leaders would personally call on him?
Such a courtesy had never been extended to anyone before!
Su Yan would be the first!
"A grand display is exactly what we need!"
Fu Jun chuckled, "Tang Youming told me about this little guy's personality: he responds well to softness but not to hardness, and the softer you are, the more he responds! He is now China's greatest treasure.
One person's weight is too light. Seven of us going to see him gives him ample respect and precisely demonstrates our sincerity!"
"After all, this is a major matter concerning China's economic development. We cannot be careless!"
"And don't forget, this little guy's Tianshen Technology Company is currently China's top taxpayer! He has already made many contributions to China. This honor is well deserved!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
…
At this moment, Su Yan, of course, had no idea that he had been "targeted" by China's seven supreme leaders.
His attention was entirely focused on the extraterrestrial meteorite transported from South Africa!
The massive rock, which originally had a diameter of 16 meters, now measured only the size of a palm, lying quietly in his hand, being carefully examined by Su Yan.
As Su Yan expected.
During the transportation of the meteorite, the American side dispatched an anti-terrorist squad and directly carried out an armed interception!
The armed forces resisted with all their might, but no matter how powerful they were, how could they compare to the American Navy SEALs?
At the last moment, the armed forces chose to detonate the ship, sinking the massive meteorite into the sea… If they couldn't have it, they didn't want America to have it either!
The leader of the armed forces, hearing this news, was disheartened and could only call Xiao Hei to inform him that the meteorite had been hijacked and the transaction terminated… A portion of the deposit would be refunded, and another portion would be taken as their loss.
Su Yan directly agreed to their terms.
However, in reality, after they sank the meteorite, the Iron Man suit, which had been waiting underwater for a long time, quickly sprang into action, directly shrinking the meteorite and taking it back, swiftly leaving the scene!
As a result, when the American side later conducted deep-sea salvage operations, they searched countless times but found no trace of the meteorite. They even thought some supernatural event had occurred!
Thus, Su Yan not only successfully shifted the blame to the Americans but also successfully acquired the meteorite for less than 5 billion, truly killing two birds with one stone, with one arrow, two eagles!
"Xiao Hei, conduct a comprehensive analysis and display the data!"
"Yes, sir!"
The holographic scanner, composed of nanomechanical particles, began to continuously scan and mark the meteorite's data and content list.
Soon, the results came out.
"13 unknown elements!"
Seeing the 13 unknown markers displayed holographically, Su Yan grinned, revealing a satisfied smile.
"No wonder the American side spared no effort to snatch this meteorite… 13 unknown elements, if properly utilized, would be enough to bring them hundreds of billions in profit!"
"But with these unknown elements in my possession… hundreds of billions in profit? That's just a drop in the bucket!"
"Xiao Hei, compile a microscopic scan image of these 13 unknown elements and a comprehensive report of various data analyses!"
Too much data, analyzing it from numbers and graphs would be too troublesome… This is why people invented computers.
With artificial intelligence, Su Yan naturally wanted to maximize efficiency!
A moment later.
"Sir, all data charts have been compiled for you. Please review them!"
In front of Su Yan, 13 holographic windows popped up, each neatly listing all the data and providing a comprehensive evaluation and analysis…
One must know that if this were in an American research institute, just getting one such data analysis chart would take a group of people at least a week to complete!
"Xiao Hei… now, our X-Healing Factor finally has a solution!"
Su Yan merely glanced at it, and a bright glint appeared in his eyes.
