Zeke's eyes flashed when he mentioned the matter of the Warp Drive.
He spent a lot of money on intelligence fees to collect the materials for the Warp Drive to get those high-level materials' whereabouts and contact channels.
Because these channels are illegal, they are not visible, and their confidentiality is extreme. Even the intelligence agencies of the kingdom may not know about them, so it is complicated to find them. If Zeke were asked to discover them one by one, he would not be able to find them in a few years.
Fortunately, the means of these international info brokers are compelling.
It has only been half a month, and all who took the requests have responded.
"I'll take a look at them all."
All the information was spread out in the air, Zeke walked forward with a glass of red wine, and while drinking, his eyes quickly scanned the information above.
After being strengthened by the super soldier serum, his reading speed has also improved, but even so, it still took nearly half an hour to browse through all the information that the info brokers gave him.
"Sure enough, I knew that the difficulty of collecting all the materials this time was far greater than any time before."
Zeke frowned.
From the feedback from the international info brokers, he learned that almost all materials could be purchased through some illegal international organizations. As long as the money is in place, there is no problem.
But only "Starry Sky Steel" is a precious material. It is said to have been peeled off from meteorites. Since the quantity is minimal, it is only known that it exists. The existence, and concept of its characteristics, are known. However, no one has seen it.
Therefore, until now, no international info broker has found the corresponding channel contact information.
The rarity of material is scarce.
"Starry Sky Steel cannot be missed, it must be found."
During the Warp Drive, a powerful force will be generated, which is enough to tear diamond starry Sky Steel's characteristics to significantly suppress this force's generation, preventing space tearing and causing transmission failure.
Therefore, starry sky steel is one of the indispensable materials in constructing the Warp Drive plan.
"A Warp Drive must be administered with at least 1 kilogram of starry sky steel."
"1000 Warp Drives, that's a whole ton of starry sky steel."
According to the current information, the value of one kilogram of starry sky steel is beyond imagination, let alone one ton.
"Jarvis, tell those international info brokers that they will go out and find the source of Starry Sky Steel for me. As long as one of them is the first to send the correct channel to my mailbox, can get a reward of $100 million. "
Zeke said directly.
A brave man must be a rich reward. If $100 million is not enough, he will; if billion and if $1 billion is not enough, he will spend $10 billion.
...
A few days later, under the repeated urging of Grace and the entanglement of other Phoenix elders and ministers, Zeke finally attended the elders' decision-making meeting as an elder for the first time.
"Elder Zeke, a rare guest."
"Elder Zeke, you are here."
"Our kingdom's great hero has a lot of responsibilities, and it's not easy even for me, an elder, to meet."
"..."
As soon as he entered the conference room, the elders and ministers laughed and ridiculed Zeke.
Zek, this seat and sat down and only responded with a smile.
It didn't take long to chat, and soon, with Grace, dressed in a capable king's costume, and Prime Minister Deron, who was always following behind her, hurried into the conference room, all the clamor stopped abruptly immediately subsided.
As before, Grace subconsciously glanced at Zeke's location, but this time, what she saw was no longer an empty seat, but Zeke was smiling and beckoning to her. Subconsciously dodging away, she was inexplicably flustered and nervous. But the next second, she realized her identity as a king and regained her domineering face of an iceberg beauty.
"See Your Majesty the King!"
All the elders and ministers stood up and saluted Grace.
Grace nodded, pressed her palms at will, and sat down in the uppermost position in the center.
Prime Minister Deron was sitting on her right.
All the elders and ministers sat down one after another.
"Today's decision will be very important, and there are two main things to discuss."
Grace didn't have any unnecessary nonsense and went directly to the topic.
"The first thing, regarding the recycling plan of the super soldier discussed earlier, Elder Zeke, after our unanimous and careful discussion and research, I am willing to use the price of $800 million for the super soldiers."
"This is the conclusion based on the comprehensive consideration of the current situation of the kingdom, what do you think?"
When it came to the Super Soldier Recycling Program, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zeke.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, $1 billion is already a very favorable price."
Zeke spread his hands and did not retreat at all just because Grace was a king and he was an elder.
If you put it on others, they will impeach them for disrespecting the king. Still, because of Zeke, the kingdom's reputation is booming, it has turned around several times in his presence, and his position is no longer a mere so-called elder.
Impeach him? Doesn't that make you feel uncomfortable?
"Can't you take a step back?"
Grace stared at Zeke thoughtfully.
"Cannot."
Zeke responded simply and directly.
The other elders and ministers all looked around and dared not speak.
Prime Minister Deron also smiled helplessly and shook his head.
In the Phoenix Kingdom, the person who dares to so blatantly reject the king, talk back to the king, and prevent the king from coming down from the stage, is estimated that Zeke the only one.
"Okay, I see."
"The plan for the recycling of super soldiers is open to discussion, and then we mainly discuss the second thing."
Grace looked back, "You should have noticed the report in front of each of you, right? Next, I have to announce a serious news to you – Phoenix Kingdom is suffering from economic sanctions from major powers."
