“Mr. Tang, how should this drilling platform be operated?” asked the head of PetroChina.

At the moment, crude oil was being extracted.

However, the extraction amount was not fixed and required manual control, but under the current circumstances, they had no way to control it.

-Before the undersea tunnel is connected, you don’t need to worry about the drilling platform. Wait until the tunnel is through, then arrange for people to come over.

As for the issue of crude oil extraction, first arrange for two refineries to coordinate with me, and we’ll discuss the rest later.

Tang Rui thought for a moment and decided to let Red Lotus manage it for a while.

After all, the undersea tunnel was not yet connected.

Having employees use the emergency passage for commuting, not to mention the inconvenience, would drive the staff crazy.

“Alright, then we’ll have to trouble Mr. Tang for now.”

The heads of the petroleum and petrochemical sectors didn’t say much.

Despite their high positions, they really couldn’t do much in this matter. The entire Bohai Bay project was completely controlled by Tang Rui. As long as he didn’t mess up, no one could influence his decisions.

After the oil pipeline was connected, Tang Rui handed over the work to Red

Lotus and went fishing in Bohai Bay on a yacht.

He didn’t leave because the work wasn’t finished yet.

There was nothing for him to do for the Bohai Bay project, but he had to rearrange the matters concerning the Korean side.

The sea was like an abyss, pitch black in the darkness of the night.

Tang Rui stood on the yacht’s deck, looking at the red dots twinkling in the

sky, his private plane.

When the private plane hovered above the sea, it opened its rear hatch, and several robots began throwing items from the cargo bay into the sea.

Splash!

Splash!

Components of a spaceship model were thrown into the sea, and underwater robots caught these parts, dragging them towards the seabed tunnel.

Soon, these parts were dragged by the robots into the undersea tunnel, and after half an hour of travel, they reached an underground cavity.

Then, the robots began to assemble the spaceship model parts, injecting them with liquid high-energy battery solution.

This high-energy battery solution was the explosive kind.

Once the solution was poured in, the exterior of the spaceship model’s hull displayed blue lines, looking mysterious and sci-fi.

“Master, the spaceship model assembly is complete, high-energy batteries have been injected, and the tungsten alloy steel plates have been replaced without the other party noticing any abnormalities,” Red Lotus reported to Tang Rui about the spaceship model’s arrangement.

“Good, fill the underground space’s gaps, then evacuate and destroy all traces,” Tang Rui said, nodding in satisfaction.

“Understood, Master,” Red Lotus acknowledged.

Under Red Lotus’s control, a group of robots began the final cleanup, erasing

all traces.

After finishing, most of the robots returned to continue working in the undersea tunnel, with only one robot entering the drilling platform through the emergency exit.

When it emerged, it was carrying two long alloy boxes, then brought them onto the yacht.

Tang Rui saw the two alloy boxes but did not approach them.

The contents were somewhat dangerous.

One box contained deuterium-tritium fuel rods, and the other yellowcake.

He had come to take these special materials away.

He indeed needed them.

After all, the higher the level of technology, the greater the energy demand.

A night passed without words.

The next morning, the yacht docked.

Tang Rui headed to the airport.

On his way to the airport, he received a call from the military’s special department, inquiring about one thing.

Whether the undersea fixtures were arranged properly. Tang Rui immediately confirmed that everything was in place. The fixtures were sturdy, and the bases solid. If tampered with maliciously, they would explode.

The special department was pleased with this arrangement, telling Tang Rui that they liked it.

They also informed him about a situation in Korea, which couldn’t be hidden anymore. The Americans were very curious about Korea’s situation recently, so there was a high probability that they would intervene.

Tang Rui laughed it off.

He didn’t take it seriously.

After all, everything that needed to be arranged had been done.

The special department had also written the script. Now, they were just waiting for the actors to take their places. But considering the current digging speed in Korea, he would have to wait a while to watch the drama unfold.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Rui, carrying the special materials, boarded his private plane and took off back to the company.

Security checks had nothing to do with him.

It didn’t matter that he was carrying two boxes.

Even if he carried a rocket launcher, no one would bother him.

Back home, Tang Rui asked Red Lotus to store the special materials, then went to the lab, opened the holographic projection screen, and observed Earth’s outer space.

During his research retreat, dozens more satellites had been added to Earth’s outer space orbit.

Everyone was making it clear that they were focusing on the aerospace field, so more satellites needed to be launched.

Officially, all these launched satellites were remote sensing and meteorological satellites.

But according to neutrino satellite scans, most of these satellites were detection and spy satellites, and some were even armed satellites.

What about the treaty banning space weapons?

To the five good people, that was all just paper.

When needed, it was a powerful weapon to restrict others.

When not needed, these treaties were just paper.

Of course, Tang Rui didn’t care about these armed satellites. His main observation was the American lunar spacecraft.

Perhaps due to external stimulati, the lunar spacecraft, originally scheduled to launch at the end of the year, around Christmas, was now expected to launch in half a month.

This was also an important part of the American space strategy, namely, returning to the Moon.

Currently floating in Earth’s orbit, most of the lunar spacecraft’s modules had been launched and docked.

The entire lunar spacecraft looked like a small space station, just without large solar panels.

According to American news, they would launch the last module in a month, the return module.

Then, the spacecraft would embark on its journey to the Moon.

-The spacecraft has no problems, it seems that although the Americans have sped up, the quality of the spacecraft is still fine,” Tang Rui concluded after studying the lunar spacecraft.

As long as he didn’t sabotage it, this American lunar mission was unlikely to fail.

After pondering for a while, Tang Rui gave up the idea of sabotage, as it was simply too low.

It worked, but playing such tricks often was not interesting.

So, this time Tang Rui planned to play differently. “Lin, contact CCTV and use their name to obtain the live broadcast rights for the American return to the Moon.”

“Broadcast rights? Do you mean to broadcast the rocket launch?

“Not a relay, but a live broadcast. Make sure the contract clearly states that it’s the live broadcast rights for their Moon landing.”

“Alright, I’ll contact them right now..”
