Previously, Su Yan had Xiao Hei pay attention, but didn't have it send people to act, purely because he lacked funds.
An ordinary meteorite from outside the sky isn't worth much; you can pick it up freely. It's all elements like iron, nickel, etc., with no value whatsoever!
But if someone detects some inexplicable, elusive elements within a meteorite, then it's a big deal. The price of the meteorite will inevitably be hyped to the skies.
And those interested in meteorites couldn't possibly be those bored wealthy civilians; they'd rather collect antiques and curios, which have more style, taste, and are better at retaining value... The only ones truly interested are the various governments.
Only governments truly understand what the appearance of an unknown element signifies.
Once their national scientific research teams discover even a little value, it will transform into a treasure worth billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions, helping the country and government make huge profits, with an extraordinary impact.
Therefore, if you want to snatch these rare meteorites from the hands of the government, how can you do it without spending a lot of money?
Black market merchants have connections and methods, and Su Yan has money. The trail won't lead back to Su Yan, so why not?
"Understood, Sir!" Xiao Hei responded.
"Also, keep an eye on all possible channels for these special elements on the internet!
Future Invasion hasn't officially shipped yet. Once it ships, everyone will have one, and the amount of information received will inevitably surge... And among them, there might very well be information on the elemental materials I need!
Once these messages are captured, you must act immediately, before anyone else, and get your hands on the elemental materials!" Su Yan's eyes flickered.
This is the key point for him to deploy the Future Invasion phone.
As long as the Future Invasion phone is widespread enough and the user base is large enough, the amount of information Xiao Hei detects will instantly explode... At that time, it might actually be possible to find the elemental materials Su Yan needs.
Su Yan cannot always rely on black market merchants.
Now is just the beginning, and he hasn't gained a firm footing, which is why he needs black market merchants to help him transition.
But the further he goes, the more the things involved will be beyond what ordinary materials can solve.
Moreover, Su Yan is already famous, and who knows, one day someone with ulterior motives might try to contact him through a black market merchant!
According to Su Yan's original vision, the deployment of the Future Invasion phone, in addition to making money, was to establish an information network and build an "intelligence agency" exclusively for Su Yan.
This intelligence agency doesn't need anyone to operate it; one Xiao Hei is enough to accomplish everything!
"Sir, if a special situation arises and requires force, should I use it?"
"No need!"
Su Yan said, "If it can be solved with money, use money. If it really can't be, then notify me... Before my cold fusion reactor is manufactured, don't be too ostentatious!"
Only with a cold fusion reactor can he manufacture Iron Suits, and only then will Su Yan have sufficient self-preservation capabilities.
Relying solely on nanomechanical particles, although it offers some security, how does its level of security compare to an Iron Suit?
"Understood, Sir!"
"Cold fusion reactor... X-Healing Factor... Laying out the special elements for manufacturing Vibranium and Adamantium...
Next is anti-gravity technology!"
Su Yan's thinking was very clear.
The X-Healing Factor provides eternal life and immortality. With it, Su Yan doesn't need to worry about any assassination attempts... Even if a nuclear bomb explodes on his head, he can quickly recover as before!
His only concern is being trapped by enemies, just like Wolverine in X-Men, impaled by steel bars and sunk to the bottom of the sea, forever maintaining a state between life and death.
Therefore, he needs a cold fusion reactor to provide energy and combat power, to protect him.
As for Vibranium, Adamantium, and other materials, they are naturally prepared for reinforcement.
However.
Even with these, Su Yan's tech kingdom would only be in its rudimentary form.
Anti-gravity technology is the most crucial part of his future plans.
It's not just about changing modes of transportation; more importantly... it will allow Su Yan to truly establish his own tech kingdom!
In the Marvel Universe, Su Yan had previously claimed three small islands, and then, using anti-gravity devices, he forcefully transformed these three islands into his private "Sky City."
This Sky City would be independent of the world, free from the jurisdiction of any country or the limitations of any laws.
More importantly, it could shield against any satellite surveillance!
Once it was completed, Su Yan would have his own small base, unrestricted and free from worrying about the various opinions of other countries.
He could build even more terrifying things—such as a Sky Carrier, the Guardians of the Galaxy's Milano Spaceship, a micro-universe, or even the Space Stone!
"But thinking about these things is too early now... Let's get the foundation laid first!"
Only with a foundation can there be a future!
Su Yan leaned back in his chair and peacefully fell asleep.
...5.
While Su Yan was still pondering his tech plans, the outside world had already fallen into unprecedented frenzy due to the release of the Future Invasion One phone.
The top ten trending topics on Sina Weibo were almost entirely the technological highlights presented at the Future Invasion phone's launch event:
"Flexible gemstone metal body!"
"Genetic encryption unlock solution!"
"Naked-eye 3D display!"
"1,000,000 mAh super battery!"
"100-meter wireless charging technology!" And so on... Among these, the first place was prominently occupied by "Holographic Suspended Projection Technology," which Su Yan had introduced at length.
The explosive popularity this black technology generated among netizens was no less than a nuclear bomb detonating in Japan.
Just looking at the enormous purple "BOOM" character next to the hot search keyword and the nearly 100 million search volume, one could tell how popular holographic suspended projection was!
Even the AI that Su Yan used for his keynote speech could only rank second.
"Future Invasion is truly fucking awesome! I watched the press conference and couldn't help but curse!"
"Is Su Yan even human?! How did he create so many black technologies?! It's mind-blowingly awesome, alright!"
"Yang A watched the live review, and even the UP host who reviewed it completely lost it, screaming... The whole venue was in chaos!"
"Already ordered! CEO Su, please ship it quickly. I don't even feel like playing games now; I'm just watching review videos like crazy, getting more and more excited!"
"For the first time, I feel proud of a Huaxia-made phone. It's time for our domestic brands to rise! Let Apple and Samsung go to hell!"
"Apple has been milking us Huaxia people for so many years; I've been annoyed with them for a long time. Today, someone finally stood up to sanction them. So satisfying!"
"Tim Cook is cowering in a corner, lolol!"
