Chapter 457 Special Materials
Lin Ruoxue saw Su Chen's dejected face, and a meaningful smile appeared on her stunning face:
"Husband, I'm right, aren't I?"
"Yes, if the wife says there's no problem, then there definitely isn't a problem."
Seeing Lin Ruoxue's expression, Su Chen's heart suddenly trembled, and he revealed a sycophantic smile.
He knew that when Lin Ruoxue smiled like this, it was best to obey obediently, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In fact, what he was really thinking was, My dear wife, the guy who's the director of the Special Security Bureau has personally sought us out, can it be a trivial matter?
Taking advantage of Lin Ruoxue's inattention, he glared fiercely at Qin Ming opposite him, thinking, Old man, you try to outsmart me, let's see how I deal with you!
However, Qin Ming didn't seem to care much about Su Chen's gaze but instead became smug, with a sly smile emerging on his lips.
Because he had finally found this guy's Achilles' heel, and that was his wife!
This devilish man, who turned out to be afraid of his wife, was something Qin Ming had never imagined before!
Not to mention his surprise, it's likely that nobody who knew even a little about Su Chen's true details would have thought of this!
"It looks like I'll have to take good care of this woman and her Belle Corporation in the future!"
Qin Ming stroked his chin and thought to himself, after all, befriending her could influence Su Chen to some extent, what a profitable deal!
"Mm, that's more like it, speak nicely to people!"
Lin Ruoxue heard Su Chen agree and nodded her head in satisfaction.
She didn't know what kind of favor this man wanted her husband to do. If she had known, she would have rather refused his help and kicked this man out.
"Let's go out and talk."
After lunch, Su Chen said coldly and walked out of the villa's main door, with Qin Ming hurrying to follow.
"Tell me, what is it that you're looking for me for?"
Moments later, the two sat down in a private room at a teahouse not far from the Grand Epoch Court neighborhood.
"Su Chen, I'm really glad to see you. I haven't heard from you in years, I thought something happened to you!"
Qin Ming said with some emotion.
If it hadn't been for this guy calling him a while back, asking him to help deal with the aftermath for the Liu Family, he wouldn't have known that he was in Huaxia!
"You old man aren't dead yet. I'm still so young and handsome, how could I possibly be dead?"
Su Chen said with a displeased tone, clearly still holding a grudge over what happened earlier, when Qin Ming used Lin Ruoxue to manipulate him.
"About that, I apologize for what happened just now. I had no choice. This matter is something that only you can handle!"
"Don't try to flatter me with high hats. I don't eat that kind of stuff!"
Su Chen waved his hand, saying that although he had agreed to Lin Ruoxue's face, what he would actually do he still had to find out what it was about first.
If he truly didn't want to do it, nobody could force him.
The reason he was willing to talk to Qin Ming was partly because of Lin Ruoxue, but more importantly, he wanted to find out why Qin Ming had come all this way to seek him out.
"Alright, time is tight, so speak quickly,"
Su Chen urged with a serious tone.
Qin Ming straightened up, then took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Su Chen:
"I want you to go to this location."
Su Chen glanced down at it, and when his gaze fell on the piece of paper, his eyes widened immediately:
"Old man, you're not joking with me, are you? These coordinates are in the Pacific Ocean, and if I'm not mistaken, that's one of the most unstable sea areas!"
The Pacific Ocean is a name known to all, a term so familiar that it elicits little more than a nonchalant reaction.
However, very few truly understand this largest and deepest ocean in the world, with the most bordering seas and islands!
Although this ocean, occupying a third of the world's surface, is called the Pacific, it is anything but peaceful!
Especially in certain areas, it could be said that once you enter, you have already heard the whispers of death!
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?" Qin Ming's expression became stern, "Su Chen, this matter is of great significance, and it's extremely important for our nation!"
"Explain in detail."
Su Chen lit a cigarette and started smoking it on his own.
"Here's the deal: not long ago, a maritime explorer passed by the coordinates I just gave you and found a small island. On that island, he discovered a structure resembling an ancient palace and brought back some items."
"Everything else aside, the critical part is a type of material that's actually perfect for aviation. Its light weight, high strength, high modulus, high toughness, heat resistance, cold resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and so on are all much better than current aviation materials. Plus, its purity and consistency have reached an unprecedented level!"
"As you know, the future disputes between nations won't be on land or at sea but in air sovereignty!"
"The key to air sovereignty is the development of aviation technology, and materials are one of the most critical elements in the development of aviation!"
"How did you come by this information?"
Su Chen acknowledged that the other party made sense. Indeed, air sovereignty would play a crucial role in the future development of nations, with materials being a key factor in aviation progress!
But he wondered about the reliability of this news. How did he know all these things?

Qin Ming said, "That maritime explorer has a column in a nautical magazine, and he wrote about his discovery there."
"But he's just an explorer, not a scientist. How would he know what the material is and its uses?"
Su Chen continued to inquire, this matter being of great importance, but the more important it was, the less he was willing to overlook any shortcomings.
"As it turns out, he happens to have a friend who is a physicist. After returning, he showed the items he'd brought back to his friend, who then informed him."
"So, he published his discovery in the magazine and mentioned that there were still hundreds of kilograms of this material there. He even left contact details in the magazine for those who wanted to know the exact location."
Qin Ming was ready and willing to answer all of Su Chen's questions exhaustively!
"He wants to make money off this?"
Su Chen tilted his head and glanced at Qin Ming.
"Hmm, we also spent a hundred million US dollars to get that coordinate. Actually, it's not just us; many countries have bought it,"
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
