tang rui didn’t need to concern himself with other aspects of the space shuttle; red lotus could handle everything.

the only thing he needed to personally take care of was the manufacturing of the nuclear-powered rocket engine, which was the most important.

brother lin, i need to apply for some materials,” tang rui said over the phone to lin chao.

“what materials?

“yellowcake.

“then you can apply. tell me… what are you planning to do?”

lin chao initially didn’t react, but when he remembered what yellowcake was, he almost jumped out of his chair.

if such a thing ended up in tang rui’s hands, who knew what he could create?

were you about to say that having yellowcake alone was useless?

that’d be a joke.

what made you think that tang rui couldn’t just build an industrial-grade centrifuge?

it must be a myth.

i’m not up to anything much, just want to build a nuclear-powered rocket engine, nothing else.”

tang rui swore to the heavens that this time, he was truly not causing trouble.

a nuclear-powered rocket. without yellowcake, how could he make one?

really?

really, truer than real gold.

wait for me to make a call.

after lin chao hung up the phone, he immediately reported tang rui’s situation to the higher-ups. he didn’t have the authority to approve such a request for tang rui.

creating a simple device was fine, but if he gave tang rui yellowcake…

f*ck!

who could then sleep peacefully?

previously, crimson corporation was the only one in the world with nuclear strike capabilities.

but that was just strike capability.

if tang rui got his hands on yellowcake, with the integration of research and development, production, and strike, crimson would be directly upgraded to the only company in the world with nuclear deterrence capabilities.

this was no joke.

twenty minutes later, lin chao called tang rui and relayed the higher-ups’ thoughts.

“you can freely research nuclear rocket engines. what kind of reactor core do you need? cnnc (china national nuclear corporation) will fully cooperate with you.”

tang rui understood lin chao’s implication.

he could research as he wished.

the higher-ups also fully supported him, giving him whatever he needed.

however, yellowcake couldn’t be placed in the hands of an individual but could be used to create a reactor core for him.

after all, giving yellowcake to someone, who knew what they would make with it?

alright, once i finish the design, i’ll have cnnc manufacture the reactor core.

tang rui nodded after listening and wasn’t opposed to it.

after all, what he needed was highly sensitive.

it was normal for the higher-ups to take such measures.

he put down his phone.

tang rui began designing the nuclear-powered rocket engine. his requirement for the engine was that it could both generate electricity and serve as an engine.

it would suffice if the power generation reached 3000 kilowatts and the thrust was above 80 tons.

to be honest, these requirements weren’t high.

but integrating the energy system and the ignition system into everything would be somewhat troublesome.

however, tang rui didn’t mind.

this made it interesting.

otherwise, why would he bother studying it?

just like that, tang rui began the research and development work, burying himself in the lab for research and not causing any trouble outside.

a few days later, han shu, with his team, arrived at the port of sudan.

sudan was considered a major country in the african continent; its geographical location was very important, and its resources were abundant.

china still maintained a good relationship with sudan.

this was especially true since they had established a strong presence in congo, effectively getting sandwiched between sudan and its southern half.

beside them, there was also tanzania, waving its flag and shouting.

under these circumstances, america couldn’t even sleep well, fearing a pincer attack from china.

moreover, even the french, who occupied the congo, didn’t want to see this happen.

once america was ousted, the french’s days wouldn’t be good either.

as a result, sudan wasn’t experiencing a period of peace.

as soon as han shu arrived, he was picked up by our ambassador in asu, who wanted to understand the local situation.

but upon arriving at the embassy, han shu realized something was wrong.

the consultant of the sudanese president was there too, old merchant, who had visited china many times.
