Zuo Yi was well aware of the value of thunder stones.
For the past few days, Lu Guang had been testing the Yazi Type-I mecha equipped with the new power core in the underground base. He found that the laboratory's custom standard thunder stone energy core could support the mecha for more than 10 hours of high-intensity combat.
This was very impressive. Although Da Xia had not grasped the specific parameters of the Titan and Warrior's Armor, based on the information they had obtained so far, it was impossible for them to surpass the domestic Yazi Type-I mecha in terms of endurance performance.
Most importantly, Jiangnan's laboratory found that the ultra-high purity energy crystal could be recharged repeatedly like a battery. After the energy was depleted, it could be automatically recharged by placing it in a high-voltage electric field. It was very convenient and practical.
In a situation where there were no other substitutes, thunder stones became the best and only energy core material for the domestic Yazi Type-I mecha!
Therefore, as long as Zuo Yi did not ask for too much and put forward conditions that were unacceptable, Da Xia's higher-ups would agree.
Zang Heshuo told Zuo Yi very straightforwardly that they were determined to get the thunder stones.
This might put them in a very disadvantageous position during the negotiation, but it also showed great sincerity.
The problem was that Zuo Yi had not thought of the most suitable price.
It was impossible to give it away for free. Free things were often not cherished by people, and people would mistakenly think that he had too many thunder stones and could give it away casually.
In fact, Zuo Yi currently had more than 1,000 thunder stones. However, some of the thunder stones were very large. According to the standard size set by Jiangnan's laboratory, they could be cut into many pieces.
After thinking about it, Zuo Yi said, "How about this? I'll provide you with 10 standard thunder stones for you to continue testing. I'll go to Beijing tomorrow or the day after. I'll discuss the specific conditions with President Qin."
Zang Heshuo smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."
As long as Zuo Yi was willing to give up the thunder stones, any conditions could be discussed. Zang Heshuo felt that it was the best thing for him to choose to discuss with Qin Wuyang.
Wang Yu said sincerely, "Chief Zuo, thank you!"
As the director-general of the Army's General Assembly Division and the person in charge of the "Son of the Dragon" project, he had been under a lot of pressure recently and often had trouble sleeping at night.
If this ten billion dollar project failed, he would have no other choice but to resign!
Now that the project had achieved a breakthrough, Wang Yu was undoubtedly one of the happiest people.
Zuo Yi waved his hand and took out ten thunder stones of almost the standard size from his Socra Ring.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
How much are these thunder stones worth?
It wasn't a problem to say that it was a priceless treasure. If it had to be measured in monetary terms, Zuo Yi's offer of thirty to fifty million per piece was already considered cheap. Even if it was a hundred million per piece, it was still negotiable.
Ten pieces would be one billion!
None of the people present were narrow-minded, but when one billion was placed in front of them, they still felt a trace of shock.
"First Seat Zuo …"
A graceful woman asked respectfully, "May I ask you a question?"
Zuo Yi nodded. "Yes."
This beautiful woman was a supervisor of the Special Materials Research Institute under Da Xia's Academy of Sciences. She was in charge of a project related to domestic warframes.
After getting Zuo Yi's permission, she swallowed and asked, "Are your thunder stones produced in the Barbaro Plateau?"
This question was quite sensitive. She was obviously worried about angering Zuo Yi, so she was very careful.
In fact, she thought too much. Zuo Yi didn't have any intention of hiding it, so of course, he wouldn't be annoyed by her question. "Yes, I dug it out from Sarsans in the Barbaro Plateau."
At that time, Zuo Yi didn't expect the thunder stones to be so useful, so he only collected them in the core area of the thunderstorm and gave up on the rest.
In a wider area, there would definitely be more thunder stones.
The beautiful woman let out a long breath and said, "In fact, our material research institute has gotten a few similar things before, but those thunder stones are very unstable, and the energy will continue to dissipate uncontrollably. They are not as good as the one you provided."
Zuo Yi remembered the thunder stone hunters he met in River Cove Town, so he wasn't surprised that the Academy of Sciences had obtained thunder stones.
As for the problem of the same thing being so different in nature, he speculated that it was most likely because of the World Stone.
The World Stone that Zuo Yi got.
"There should be a lot of thunder stones like this in Sarsans …"
He said, "I suggest you buy as many as possible, the faster the better."
If Zuo Yi's guess was right, he should be able to use the World Stone to transform the unstable thunder stones.
Or refining?
"No problem!"
The beautiful woman replied without hesitation. "We will send someone to buy it immediately!"
In fact, the price of thunder stones wasn't expensive. After this special crystal was dug out by the thunder stone hunters in Barbaro Plateau, it was obtained by many research institutes in various countries through different channels.
It was just that no institution had studied its specific function.
And Zuo Yi's suggestion to buy it as soon as possible must be reasonable!
"Chief Zuo …"
After the woman from the Academy of Sciences finished talking with Zuo Yi, someone asked, "Do you have any evaluation and suggestions for the combat performance of the Yazi Type I?"
In the following time, more than ten senior members of Da Xia asked Zuo Yi a lot of questions.
Of course, their questions were related to the combat armor. Their purpose was obviously to get a comprehensive evaluation of the Yazi Type I from Zuo Yi — it would be best if he could provide specific suggestions.
Zuo Yi finally knew why so many people came here.
He didn't feel angry or annoyed about it. Instead, he patiently answered everyone's questions.
Until close to noon, the discussion about the Yazi Type I armor finally ended.
After Zuo Yi sent off Wang Yu, Zang Heshuo, and the others, he went back upstairs and teleported to his home in Lakeview Garden.
He and Gu Yun Xi had agreed to have lunch here.
"Dad!"
Zuo Yi just came down from upstairs, and the little girl who was watching TV immediately jumped down from the sofa and flew into his arms.
Zuo Yi carried her up, kissed her, and said, "Watch less TV. You have to protect your eyes."
Would the Destined Witch have myopia? This was a problem, but Zuo Yi didn't want to test it on his baby.
"En."
The Bao 'er nodded obediently.
"Good girl."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Dad will bring you to the capital to play tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay!"
The Bao 'er's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then, Dad, can we go and see Qiqi?"
She was still thinking about her good friend!
"Of course."
