The highest leader of the Dragon Country, after a brief period of contemplation, slowly opened his mouth and said, "Generation one for sale, generation two for use, generation three for experimentation, generation four for demonstration, generation five for approval, generation six for theory."
"If there is a better option, we can indeed sell our current controlled nuclear fusion technology to some friendly countries, but..."
At this point, the highest leader of the Dragon Country paused and turned to look at Jing Mingqiu. "Because the real objective cannot be disclosed, in the eyes of others, we are currently being suppressed by the American Country, and we are at a disadvantage in land reclamation and the struggle for maritime control."
"Under such circumstances, if we choose to sell controlled nuclear fusion technology, they will definitely try to drive down the price."
"That's easy to handle," Jing Mingqiu waved his hand. "I'm just too lazy to deal with it, not unable to deal with it. Although it is agreed that force cannot be used, there are several tsunamis in the Pacific every year."
"I'll go to the control room in a moment and adjust the weather controller to guide these naturally occurring tsunamis and blow away all those floating islands of the American Country."
The highest leader reached out to stop Jing Mingqiu. "Don't be so hasty. If those floating islands of the American Country can be solved so easily, we can use this as bait to calculate against other countries. Let's first..."
Soon, the news that the Dragon Country, due to insufficient raw materials, could not compete with the American Country in land reclamation and urgently needed a large amount of mineral resources, spread rapidly throughout the world.
Before others could react, those public intellectuals and rationalists were the first to fall into a frenzy, frantically swiping their screens online.
"I've said it long ago, the American Country is the world's number one technological power, and the Dragon Country is just a contract manufacturer, with no technical ability other than imitation."
"The true colors of the Dragon Country are now revealed. Those wolf warriors, why are you still jumping around!"
"I have arrived in that free country and can smell the sweet air. Those who want to immigrate can send me a private message..."
Unlike those who had been brainwashed or bought, the high-level officials of various countries, upon receiving this news, convened emergency internal meetings without exception.
Western countries such as the British Commonwealth and Germany, seeing the Dragon Country in a predicament, first gloated and unceremoniously mocked the Dragon Country for its overestimation of its capabilities, before they began to discuss serious matters.
Controlled nuclear fusion technology, as the core of future energy fields, meant that no one wanted to give up this opportunity.
So they gathered together and began to discuss how to drive down the price to acquire the Dragon Country's controlled nuclear fusion technology at the lowest possible cost.
Meanwhile, to the east of the Dragon Country, the Polar Bear, which once rivaled the American Country and was now slightly inferior.
Putin the Great, a former secret agent, sat at the front of the conference room and summoned the intelligence officer in front of him, speaking in a deep voice.
"Krupp, report your latest investigation findings again, word for word."
"Yes, Great Emperor."
Krupp raised his right hand to his chest and gave a military salute to Putin the Great. He then took out a document from his pocket and began to read it very seriously.
"The equipment currently used by the Dragon Country for land reclamation requires a large amount of resources. However, due to too many large-scale projects recently, the Dragon Country has a severe shortage of various domestic resources, making it unable to compete with the floating islands of the American Country, which are primarily based on oil."
"In order to obtain sufficient resources, the Dragon Country is prepared to sell several high-tech technologies, including controlled nuclear fusion technology, and provide on-site installation and after-sales maintenance services..."
After quietly listening to Krupp's report, Putin the Great gently tapped the table and casually glanced at the other officials.
"Tell me, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
The official in charge of managing import and export trade was the first to stand up.
"Your Majesty, according to the customs trade details, the Dragon Country's mineral exports have indeed plummeted recently, and they have imported a large amount of minerals. I think the statement about a severe domestic resource shortage is true."
"Indeed," the chief scientist of the Polar Bear also stood up. "Although I can't quite understand how the Dragon Country's machine that can plasticize seawater works for the moment, I can be sure that such a thing will consume a lot of resources."
Krupp's superior added, "The Dragon Country is indeed no match for the American Country in terms of land reclamation speed. Moreover, according to the reports from my twenty-seven overt and one hundred and thirty-six covert lines in the Dragon Country, the Dragon Country has indeed made big moves recently..."
After a discussion, everyone reached a consensus and confirmed that the Dragon Country was indeed preparing to sell its latest controlled nuclear fusion technology due to a lack of resources.
So now there are only two questions left: should they buy it? And at what price?
"Buy, of course, we must buy!" Putin the Great directly settled the answer to the first question.
"In the world today, only the Dragon Country can contend with the American Country. If the Dragon Country loses, and the American Country completely controls all oceans, we will directly become landlocked countries and enter a state of chronic death."
They all understood the principle of "lips and teeth being cold," and no one stood up to object to Putin the Great's decision.
Since they had decided to buy, only one question remained: at what price.
On this point, the crowd erupted into heated discussion.
Some argued that the Dragon Country was currently short of resources and was in a phase of begging for help, so the price should be lowered, drastically lowered. Besides controlled nuclear fusion technology, chip technology, limb regeneration technology, and anti-gravity technology could all be bundled and purchased.
Others advocated for "adding flowers to the brocade" versus "sending charcoal in the snow," wanting to sell at the original price to gain the Dragon Country's friendship and obtain more benefits.
The two sides argued endlessly, and finally, Putin the Great stood up and made the final decision.
"Stop arguing! The Dragon Country has a saying, 'Plan before acting.' I don't believe the Dragon Country didn't make sufficient preparations before launching the nationwide land reclamation plan. This time, we not only have to buy, but we have to proactively increase the price."
"Your Majesty! There's no need to increase the price, we..."
Everyone was shocked by Putin the Great's statement. Some tried to persuade him, but were directly interrupted by Putin the Great.
"Alright, stop talking. Since it's sending charcoal in the snow, don't be stingy. Someone, call the Dragon Country's diplomat and tell them I want to personally visit the highest leader of the Dragon Country and ask him to arrange the itinerary."
While others were agonizing over controlled nuclear fusion technology, in the temporary office of the American Country's president, American President Saloyan Primov was slumped in his chair, laughing maniacally.
"Hahahaha, a mere small Eastern country dares to fight me. The American Country will be great again in my hands and will embark on a path of rejuvenation!"
Just as Saloyan Primov was laughing happily, the ceiling, which had just been repaired not long ago, was once again forcibly torn open.
Gus descended from the sky, landing directly in front of Saloyan Primov, skillfully neutralizing the guards while issuing an order.
"Saloyan, you immediately contact the Dragon Country and buy the controlled nuclear fusion technology as quickly as possible!"
"Huh?" Saloyan Primov was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. "Lord Gus, don't we also have special power generation technology? Why should we buy the Dragon Country's controlled nuclear fusion?"
