Xia Chujian said, "That's no problem. I have surveillance, you can just watch the surveillance."
Huo Yushen said, "Send the surveillance to my Quantum Optical Brain, I'll personally pinpoint the time."
In other words, this surveillance footage would be privately held by Huo Yushen, and even the Special Security Bureau wouldn't keep a copy.
Su Buyan and Quan Yuxun looked away in unison, as if they hadn't heard Huo Yushen's words.
Xia Chujian didn't think much of it and immediately agreed, saying, "The surveillance video is on my Cruiser, I don't have it here."
She raised her Smart Bracelet and said, "I can't use the Quantum Optical Brain at the Flight Training Base on Kanli Star, I can only use this for now, the memory isn't enough."
But since she had raised her Smart Bracelet, Xia Chujian simply pulled up the mineral distribution map that Seven Lù had saved for her.
She said, "Now that Master Su and Chief Quan Da are here to help, I won't let you make a wasted trip."
"Since Marshal Huo is here as well, I'll take this opportunity to settle this matter first."
She looked at Huo Yushen and said, "Marshal Huo, could you do me the honor of being a witness?"
Huo Yushen didn't ask any questions, just nodded with a cold expression. In his heart, however, he felt uneasy. What kind of trouble was this girl about to stir up?
If she revealed some kind of ultimate weapon again, would he have to consider silencing Su Buyan and Quan Yuxun?
For a moment, he had considered all the follow-up methods, from killing and burying the bodies to "framing" someone else.
But then he heard Xia Chujian say, "Here's the thing, I want to discuss a business deal with Chief Quan Da, a deal only with Chief Quan Da."
"If Chief Quan Da isn't interested, I'll look for someone else."
"Also, this deal will involve the interests of both Master Su and myself."
"Because the interests are so great, I'm worried that Chief Quan Da will go back on his word, so I'm asking Marshal Huo to be a witness."
Huo Yushen still didn't have much of an expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth relaxed a little.
Quan Yuxun was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He still had that lazy, smiling-dagger look, saying, "Oh? What exactly is it that warrants such caution from First Lieutenant Xia?"
With Quan Yuxun's attitude, Xia Chujian wasn't sure either, but she still pulled out a large virtual display screen, showing the mineral distribution map in a semi-hidden way.
She hid the specific coordinates of the mineral deposits, but displayed the names of the minerals marked on it.
When Quan Yuxun saw the names of the Black Silver, Gold Cesium, White Alkynes, Cang Yi, and Cyan Obsidian Titanium deposits, his expression changed.
Especially the Cyan Obsidian Titanium!
Was this reserve going to overturn the entire Beichen Galaxy's mining industry?!
Quan Yuxun was the future heir to Quan's Mining, so he knew very well the distribution and reserves of the key mineral deposits in his family's business.
And Cyan Obsidian Titanium was not only the weakness of Quan's Mining, but also the undisputed crown jewel of the mineral deposits for the entire Beichen Galaxy's mining enterprises!
He could resist the temptation of other Special Metals.
But Cyan Obsidian Titanium was unbearable.
This was a resource that absolutely didn't exist on any other planet in the Beichen Galaxy! He immediately sat up straight, looking at the huge reserves marked next to the name Cyan Obsidian Titanium, holding his breath, his voice so soft it was almost a whisper: "Is this reserve accurate?"
As if afraid that a louder voice would scare the mineral deposit away...
Xia Chujian said decisively, "Very accurate, it just depends on whether Chief Quan Da is interested."
She knew that this mineral distribution map would be an irresistible temptation for Quan Yuxun...
After all, Seven Lù had once said that the entire Beichen Galaxy's Cyan Obsidian Titanium reserves weren't enough to create that bronze, antique-looking Ghost Face Safe!
That was a treasure she had accidentally obtained when she was fighting the Bodhi Leaf Star Pirates...
At the time, she and Seven Lù had no idea where the little Ghost Face Safe came from.
This mineral distribution map from Senze Star gave her some direction to think about.
But there were also things she couldn't figure out.
Because these Special Metals were conceived on Senze Star after the Starry Sky Yuan-chu died, which was ten thousand years ago.
But Seven Lù estimated that the style and forging method of her little Ghost Face Safe should be from the ancient, or even the remote antiquity period.
In other words, the forging time of the Ghost Face Safe should be far earlier than ten thousand years ago.
Therefore, their rough estimate of the forging time contradicts the time when Cyan Obsidian Titanium materials appeared on a large scale in the Beichen Galaxy.
Xia Chujian still needs to continue to deliberate on what is strange about this.
Seven Lù still insisted on its previous view that this Ghost Face Safe did not come from the Beichen Galaxy.
Xia Chujian pondered, and quietly glanced at Quan Yuxun.
Although Quan Yuxun majored in law, Quan's Mining is the foundation of the Quan Family.
Every member of the Quan Family will learn some knowledge about minerals.
Regardless of whether you will be engaged in this work in the future, basic common sense is necessary.
Unless you don't want to be a Quan Family member.
And Quan Yuxun was cultivated as the head of the family, and his understanding of Quan's Mining is deeper than any member of the Quan Family.
Therefore, he knew very well how much benefit the mineral distribution map Xia Chujian showed could bring to Quan's Mining in the future.
Thinking about it this way, this girl's serious request for 50 million Beichen Coins before was simply ridiculous.
However, Quan Yuxun is also a very sophisticated and transparent person.
He quickly realized that for Xia Chujian, asking for a "deposit" of only 50 million Beichen Coins was actually a very smart approach.
It can not only give herself a little benefit without being offensive, but also throw away this hot potato, and at the same time, she can befriend their Quan Family and let them owe her a big favor.
Moreover, Xia Chujian also emphasized that she was only trading with Quan Yuxun himself, and if Quan Yuxun was not interested, she would find someone else.
There are so many people in Quan's Mining, but she only recognized Quan Yuxun.
This made Quan Yuxun feel very comfortable.
He didn't hide his determination to win.
Xia Chujian was originally worried that Quan Yuxun would not be interested.
Now she was relieved.
She said with a smile: "Chief Quan Da, don't worry, the data is very accurate, and the reserves may only be higher, not lower."
Quan Yuxun immediately asked again: "Where is this mineral distribution map from?"
Xia Chujian smiled: "Where did I come back from? Chief Quan Da might as well think about it?"
Quan Yuxun's surprise was undisguised: "... Senze Star? You've only been there for a few days? How did you get the mineral distribution map there?!"
Everyone in the mining industry knows that the first step in exploring the location and reserves of minerals is the most difficult.
Because the more advanced the minerals, the deeper they are hidden.
Those existing detection methods are accurate for detecting Conventional Metals.
But for Special Metals, you must rely on manual carpet searches.
Although their Quan's Mining monopolizes the mineral deposits of several satellites in the Beichen Empire, unfortunately, most of the satellites in the Beichen Empire only have Conventional Metals.
The content of Special Metals is particularly small.
Therefore, Quan's Mining is still conducting exploration on those unclaimed planets, trying to find higher-level metals.
And after searching for so long, there is only a small amount of Special Metal deposits on one unclaimed planet.
But even this small amount of Special Metal deposits is not easy to mine.
Moreover, the mined minerals have many impurities, and multiple refining procedures are required to obtain pure Special Metals.
At present, the advanced Mecha manufacturing of the Beichen Empire is limited by the content of Special Metal deposits and cannot be manufactured on a large scale.
The content of Special Metal deposits displayed by Xia Chujian this time is simply shocking to his entire family for a whole year.
Not only Quan Yuxun, but even Su Buyan stared straight at her, and said anxiously: "Chujian! You have so many Special Metal deposits, why don't you cooperate with me?!"
"I am the one who needs these Special Metals the most!"
He looked at the reserves of that Black Silver, and his eyes were practically bleeding! Back then, he had painstakingly collected Special Metal Black Silver for so long, but it was only enough to make a very small amount of Shao Siming-level Mecha...
If they had so much Black Silver Special Metal, not only could the Shao Siming Mecha enter mass production, but some Special Metal could also be added to those Regular Mecha, allowing the characteristics of ordinary Mecha to be qualitatively improved!
Although the Exotic Metal brought back by the Special Security Bureau this time was more precious, their current technology was not as complete in the development and utilization of Exotic Metal as it was for Special Metal.
Therefore, from the perspective of mass production of weapons, the Special Metal mine distribution map that Xia Chujian had produced was of course more effective.
Of course, more importantly, those Exotic Metals could not be mechanically mined on a large scale, and had to be manually transported by high-level Gene Evolvers, one by one.
And the Special Metal distribution map displayed by Xia Chujian was on Senze Star, where large-scale mechanical mining could be carried out.
It would be fine as long as Gene Evolvers were sent there.
Seeing Su Buyan so anxious, Xia Chujian said with a smile, "Master Su, don't worry, this is one of my cooperation conditions with Chief Quan Da."
"Quan's Mining will give half of its shares to Master Su."
"The two of you will cooperate to mine the mineral deposits on Senze Star."
Quan Yuxun immediately said, "No problem! Quan's Mining needs to find sales channels to sell so much Special Metal."
"We couldn't ask for more than to cooperate with Master Su."
In fact, Quan Yuxun had been seeking to extend the tentacles of Quan's Mining into the field of mechanical manufacturing...
He didn't want the Quan Family to always be just a raw material supplier.
Just like Zong Military Industries, the Zong Family had also been secretly looking for mineral deposits and mining them themselves in recent years.
Because they also didn't want the raw materials on their production lines to be controlled by others.
If they could cooperate with Su Buyan, then Quan's Mining could take a bite of the Zong Family's pie in the military industry.
This was a completely profitable deal for Quan Yuxun.
He even knew that if these mineral deposits were really on Senze Star, then the Quan Family alone would not be able to swallow them.
They had to bring in at least one more of the Four Great Noble Families.
Rather than cooperating with the Zong Family or the Li Family, Quan Yuxun would of course prefer to cooperate with the Su Clan.
Because with the Su Clan, the Quan Family could have more room to maneuver.
He knew that even if the Su Clan joined, they would only contribute money and take dividends, and then supply Special Metal to Su Buyan.
The Su Clan would not interfere with their specific business methods.
Su Buyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Then it's settled! Give us half the shares, and I'll pay!"
"But whatever Special Metal I need, the Quan Family must give me priority!"
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "No problem. I'll draft the contract when we get back."
Xia Chujian looked at them with a smile, feeling very happy.
This hot potato was finally thrown out.
Huo Yushen looked at her and suddenly asked, "For this mine's exploitation, the Quan Family has half, and the Su Clan has half, so what about First Lieutenant Xia?"
"This is the mineral deposit distribution map provided by First Lieutenant Xia."
Xia Chujian looked at Huo Yushen in a bit of astonishment.
She didn't expect that Huo Yushen would actually speak up for her interests!
What a good person! Xia Chujian smiled at him ingratiatingly and said, "Marshal Huo is so shrewd! You hit the nail on the head!"
Huo Yushen: "..."
Quan Yuxun: "..."
Su Buyan: "..."
Quan Yuxun and Su Buyan looked at her silently together, and also cursed Huo Yushen in their hearts for being too damn cunning!
Were they the kind of unconscionable people? How could they leave out Xia Chujian's benefits! It was just that Huo Yushen's reminder immediately devalued their benefits, and obviously made Xia Chujian owe Huo Yushen a favor...
But they had to say something at this moment.
Quan Yuxun had to say, "What I originally considered was dividing the shares into three parts, one for each of us."
Xia Chujian quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't want any shares. This thing is just a disaster for me, and I can't control such a large resource."
"My requirements are very simple."
She mustered her courage and looked at Quan Yuxun, saying, "Chief Quan Da, I only have two conditions."
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "I'm all ears."
Xia Chujian showed a shy expression and said, "My first condition is that I still owe you a four million Beichen Coin interest-free loan. Can you waive it?"
Huo Yushen looked at her and frowned, "First Lieutenant Xia, have you thought it through?"
Su Buyan also said, "Chujian, you're basically selling this mineral distribution map for only four million Beichen Coins!"
"Do you know the value of this mineral distribution map?! It's more than four million by who knows how many zeros!"
Xia Chujian smiled, spread her hands, and said, "I know, otherwise how would I negotiate terms with Chief Quan Da?"
"I'm thanking Chief Quan Da and Master Su for coming to rescue me without a word."
"This life-saving grace is priceless to me."
"I'm taking advantage of you two."
"As for the waiver of the four million interest-free loan, that's just a small bonus I want."
"After all, I risked my life to get this mineral distribution map. It's reasonable to want a little something extra, right?"
Quan Yuxun really looked at Xia Chujian with new eyes.
A few months ago, she was still a petty penny-pincher.
In the blink of an eye, she had grown up.
And she was really Clear-Minded, not greedy at all in the face of such a huge temptation.
A mineral distribution map that could make countless people take risks and spare no expense to obtain was given away as a favor.
It seemed like she didn't get any benefits, but the Quan Family and the Su Clan were now her real backers.
If nothing unexpected happened, Quan Yuxun and Su Buyan would be the future heads of the Quan Family and the Su Clan.
This deal was a sure win.
Not only did Quan Yuxun's evaluation of her go up a notch,
Even Huo Yushen was silently moved.
He knew best how much of a penny-pincher Xia Chujian was.
But being a penny-pincher wasn't important, what was most important was knowing your own capabilities.
To know how big a bowl you can hold based on how much strength you have.
Not being greedy for benefits that you can't control, this decisive choice was what moved people the most.
This kind of person, once they grow up, has truly unlimited potential.
The smile in Huo Yushen's eyes flashed and disappeared.
Quan Yuxun nodded with emotion and said, "Since First Lieutenant Xia thinks so highly of me, Quan, I can't take advantage of a young lady."
"That fifty million deposit will be a small gift to calm First Lieutenant Xia's nerves, for you to buy candy when you go home."
"I will also have my secretary draft a loan waiver agreement for the four million interest-free loan and send it to you later."
"What's your second condition?"
Xia Chujian said, "I want the area at the South Pole seabed of Senze Star to be mine. You all saw that this is the South Pole, with no mineral reserves."
She gestured on the mineral distribution map, pointing out the small circle of the South Pole that she wanted.
Quan Yuxun, Huo Yushen, and Su Buyan actually wanted to ask why.
But looking at Xia Chujian's apprehensive and uneasy expression, they all tacitly chose not to ask.
Quan Yuxun was excited and took the lead in standing up, smiling and saying, "I agree to both of these conditions."
"I still have some things to do and need to return to Beichen Star. I will finalize the cooperation agreement and send it to First Lieutenant Xia and Master Su."
Xia Chujian said, "I'll give this mineral distribution map to Master Su."
"Once you've signed the agreement, Master Su can share it with Chief Quan Da."
Quan Yuxun smiled non-committally, "First Lieutenant Xia still doesn't trust me? Are you very familiar with Master Su? Do you trust him more than you trust me..."
Xia Chujian looked at Huo Yushen, wondering if she should reveal her Master-Disciple Relationship with Su Buyan.
Huo Yushen smiled without saying a word.
Su Buyan spoke for himself.
He said triumphantly, "Chief Quan Da, you don't know this, but Chujian is actually my disciple! My only closed-door disciple!"
"Of course she's biased towards me... Hahahaha..."
Quan Yuxun raised an eyebrow, "Oh? I really didn't know that. Then congratulations to Master Su for gaining such a talented disciple!"
"And congratulations to First Lieutenant Xia for having such a famous teacher!"
After Quan Yuxun finished speaking, he stood up, shook hands with Huo Yushen and Su Buyan, and also shook hands with Xia Chujian before turning to leave.
After he left, Su Buyan immediately said, "Chujian, where's the Alligator Dragon skin you mentioned?"
Xia Chujian said, "It's in my Starry Sky Cruiser."
Huo Yushen said, "Can you have your people move that Cruiser into my Bat-style Fighter Jet?"
Xia Chujian remembered Huo Yushen saying earlier that he would also modify the memories of these people, and quickly nodded, saying, "I'll send them a message and ask you to open the bottom Hold."
Earlier, after they came back from fighting the Bodhi Leaf Star Pirates, Kang Shanxing had shown her that amazing Mechanical Intelligence.
Huo Yushen said, "I'll send a message to Shan Xing and have him keep an eye on things."
Xia Chujian nodded.
Su Buyan was already impatient, saying, "I know about Alligator Dragons, they are said to be extinct ancient creatures. But what the heck is this Haidagong thing?"
Xia Chujian said, "I don't know either, you'll understand when you see it."
Huo Yushen sent the information about Haidagong that he had searched for in the Special Security Bureau to Su Buyan.
Su Buyan focused on studying it.
