Master, America has dispatched 100 elite soldiers to the Korean family’s drilling platform to assume control of the security operations there.”

On that day, Tang Rui was leisurely playing with his cat and snacking on melons while watching the news. Suddenly, he received a report from Red Lotus that stirred his excitement.

Red Lotus, display the underwater excavation progress,” Tang Rui immediately requested.

“Yes, Master.”

The image on the holographic projection screen shifted to a three-dimensional representation of the seabed.

The drilling rod’s speed was visibly increasing.

Currently, a tunnel of 70 centimeters in diameter had been carved, approaching the target of a one-meter-diameter tunnel.

In reality, a 70-centimeter diameter was sufficient for a slim person to descend, but it was futile without the necessary equipment to breach the outer casing of the alien spaceship.

After extensive research over a long period, Both the Koreans and Americans were convinced that the subterranean spaceship was of extraterrestrial origin. Why?

Aside from the shell’s remarkable durability, there was also energy pulsating beneath its nano-coated surface.

How long had it been buried?

At least tens of thousands of years.

Yet, astonishingly, the energy within the spaceship remained undiminished.

Therefore, America had begun to view this alien spaceship as a pivotal discovery, enforcing a strict news blackout.

Even the military’s special department had been aware of the seabed activities from the outset.

If one sought information now, it would be elusive.

Only a handful in America were privy to this.

The Koreans were even more extreme.

Once America became aware of the situation, the Koreans either conscripted or executed everyone who knew about it, ensuring their silence.

Such stringent information control made it nearly impossible to learn anything more.

Moreover, during this time, the United Nations had been embroiled in daily disputes over the ownership of Jerusalem.

The world’s focus was on Jerusalem, leaving the Koreans unscrutinized.

This diversion aided their information suppression.

Red Lotus, how much longer until the one-meter tunnel is complete?” Tang Rui inquired.

“At least 10 days, perhaps 15 if there are delays,” Red Lotus promptly responded.

Time was on their side.

Tang Rui scooped up Xiao Naofu by the scruff, mounted his electric mountain bike, and headed up the mountain.

Reaching the summit, he observed the construction managed by Red Lotus. The former radar station had been dismantled, leaving only the foundational and subterranean structures.

Red Lotus had made modifications here, installing a controllable nuclear fusion reactor in the underground fortifications and constructing the main apparatus and buildings for Lightning Storm atop it.

Currently, Red Lotus had completed the subterranean and ground-level structures and was assembling the high-voltage, variable frequency Tesla coil.

He had to concede, Tesla was indeed a genius.

Even with the system’s advanced black technology, the core component remained indispensable.

President Tang, what exactly are you building here?”

Lin Chao had been frequenting the mountain, eager to discern Tang Rui’s intentions.

Yet, despite a week of observation, he remained baffled by the assembled equipment.

Particularly perplexing was the high platform under construction, resembling a broadcasting tower with a sphere and antenna atop it.

“What… I did mention it’s a large charger, didn’t I?” Tang Rui replied, feigning confusion.

Lin Chao, exasperated, stopped probing further.

Tang Rui surveyed the nearing completion of the equipment, alighted from the bike, and entered the first-floor maintenance hall.

No control center was visible.

Inside, one could only see a ring-shaped device extending a cylinder through the roof, its function inscrutable.

To Lin Chao, the equipment seemed futuristically enigmatic, but Tang Rui recognized its potential as a formidable weapon.

When Tang Rui witnessed the charging and discharge of ball lightning, he envisioned a weapon like Lightning Storm.

However, manufacturing Lightning Storm was fraught with challenges, including ultra-long-range wireless power transmission technology – a major obstacle even Tesla grappled with.

Despite possessing short-range wireless charging technology, Tang Rui struggled with charging the ball lightning over the Pacific, at America’s doorstep.

After two days of fruitless effort, he resorted to a workaround, relying on system enhancements, equipment parameters, and algorithmic deductions.

“What are you smiling at?” Lin Chao, noticing Tang Rui’s grin at the machinery, felt uneasy.

It was unnerving.

Tang Rui had never exhibited such a smile, even when creating Two-Kick.

“I smiled? No, you must be mistaken,” Tang Rui replied, shaking his head in denial.

He had just conceived a new strategy involving the high-energy battery solution encased in the alien spacecraft’s outer shell.

His plan with the military’s special department was to trap the Koreans and Americans during their attempt to penetrate the underwater spaceship’s shell.

Once the nano-coating was compromised, the high-energy battery solution he had embedded would detonate, albeit with limited force.

He couldn’t amplify the explosion without risking his own nation.

But now, he had a better idea: synergizing the high-energy battery solution with Lightning Storm.

In a typical storm, lightning strikes indiscriminately, covering a broad area without precise targeting.

But with a grounded lightning rod, the scenario would change.

The sea floor lacked such rods, but the high-energy battery solution could serve that purpose, albeit with some complexity.

Red Lotus, how much longer for the construction to complete?”

Tang Rui queried.

“Master, another 63 hours are needed.”

“Understood.”

Tang Rui nodded and turned to leave.

He had considered bringing Lin Chao along, but Lin Chao chose to stay atop the mountain, observing Red Lotus’s construction.

Wasn’t trust mutual?

Labeling the device a ‘charger’ seemed apt. After all, what difference did it make whether it charged household appliances or ball lightning?

The afternoon found Tang Rui at a precious wildlife breeding center, delighting in the company of various young animals.

It was a joyous experience.

These creatures were irresistibly adorable.

That evening, as he was about to head home, Li Shuyao called, inviting him to dinner at her grandfather’s behest.

How could he decline such an invitation?

It wasn’t as if he was entering a lion’s den..
