Tu Kong agreed very readily, without making any other demands to Ling Feng.

It seemed as if the forty thousand people didn’t matter, whether he had them or not.

However, Ling Feng guessed Tu Kong’s intentions; he did this simply to get closer to him and mend the previous rift between them.

Tu Kong is ambitious, but when he realizes he possesses only martial prowess and lacks the ability to explore the universe or freely travel to other planets, he tends to be more pragmatic.

Ling Feng is different; he has never wanted to dominate or enslave others, only to develop himself, solve problems, and live a peaceful life.

Therefore, it is difficult for the two to become true friends; at most, they can only be seen as partners.

After securing the promise from Tu Kong, Ling Feng quickly left Panlong Nation.

The top priority now is still the Divine Mountain Base on Shallow Blue Star, so he returned quickly and stayed there, waiting for the first spaceship to be completed.

Time rushed by; another month had passed.

On this day, Ling Feng returned to Nine Heavens to see the children, and soon after playing with them for a while, Lin Xue hurried there.

Seeing her anxious expression, Ling Feng stood up and asked, "Has something happened?"

"Mm, come with me to Longyuan, I’ll explain there."

Lin Xue nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing her urgency, Ling Feng had to say goodbye to Li Shiyun and the others, then followed her out.

The two arrived at Longyuan and went to Lin Xue’s office. She sat down and said, "There’s something Director Han doesn’t want me to tell you, but I think you have the right to know.

"Oh?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, "Why don’t they want me to know about this?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Maybe for strategic reasons, they don’t want you to intervene."

Lin Xue said, then proceeded to tell Ling Feng what happened.

And with this matter, indeed, it was not appropriate for Ling Feng to intervene; it was baseless, even provided the other side with an excuse to declare war.

Thus, Han Wancheng planned not to tell Ling Feng, but Lin Xue, not wanting to accept this, still informed him.

Ling Feng listened, his brow furrowing tightly, thinking before saying, "They are so despicable; do we have a way to resolve this situation now?"

"Not at the moment."

Lin Xue shook her head, sighed, and said, "Perhaps I don’t have the vision to see the big picture, but this matter frustrates me, and I don’t know what to do."

"Since they have advanced technology that we lack here, shouldn’t we just acquire it?" Ling Feng asked.

"That might not work; they have patents, and forcibly acquiring them would be robbery, which would be several embarrassing for us!" Lin Xue said.

"Then we can only develop entirely new technology ourselves, right?"

Ling Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Regarding the fusion generator, we even cooperated with them, yet they won’t share their technology with us; what kind of people are they!"

"Reasoning never works with them," Lin Xue said helplessly.

"Fine, I understand this matter now; since Director Han doesn’t want my involvement, I’ll leave it alone for now."

Ling Feng said, seeing Lin Xue’s eyes widened, then smiled, "Don’t worry, let me come up with some ways to obtain better technology, and let America come begging to us instead!"

"The matters of the anti-gravity and warp engines must remain confidential; it’s a national strategy. Don’t reveal them yet!" Lin Xue reminded.

"I know, don’t worry!"

Ling Feng nodded, then smiled, "I still have other technologies that will make them drool in envy!"

Then, he shared his thoughts, and after listening, Lin Xue nodded frequently, her eyes revealing a gleam of delight!

Soon, Ling Feng left Longyuan and went directly to Ling Corporation.

A few hours later, Ling Corporation officially announced a news item, saying, "See you in twenty-four hours."

Ling Corporation is currently in the global limelight, so once this news was released, it immediately attracted worldwide attention.

Politicians, business people, and ordinary citizens were speculating, wondering what Ling Corporation was planning.

Some people vaguely linked this to the current relations between Huaxia and America, speculating that Ling Corporation might be about to reveal something explosive.

Consequently, many people on the internet began discussing and speculating what Ling Corporation was about to announce.

As the time draws nearer, the heated discussions online only grew, becoming a boiling pot of noise.

And as the moment arrived, the internet suddenly quieted down; everyone stopped arguing and guessing, repeatedly refreshing Ling Corporation’s official website.

Soon, the people online saw the ten-minute countdown on the official website.

Traffic began to increase rapidly, jumping from tens of thousands to millions and then to tens of millions; when there was only one minute left, there were over a hundred million online visitors!

Luckily, the tech team had prepared in advance, renting the server platforms of several large e-commerce companies within Huaxia; otherwise, the website would surely have been overwhelmed again.

Once the time arrived, a video appeared on Ling Corporation’s official website.

The video was short, only three minutes long; the items introduced were simple: batteries.

This was a batch of super batteries carefully prepared by Ling Feng and urgently produced by the core team of the Moon Base.

Batteries of varying sizes and uses, with all performance and parameters publicly disclosed, alongside power consumption experiment data.

The smartphone-sized battery could power a smartphone for a month.

A larger battery, when fully charged, could power an electric car to travel 1500 kilometers!

And this set of batteries weighs less than one-third of the current conventional electric vehicle batteries!

This battery’s lifespan reached an astounding twenty years.

Ordinary electric vehicle batteries need replacing after four or five years, which is a significant expense.

But if using Ling Corporation’s batteries, it’s like buying a car after which the car gets worn out, without ever needing to change the battery.

Although Ling Corporation only announced two types of batteries, soon the global tech world exclaimed that Ling Corporation had started a revolution!
