After reading the report, the four Pentagon officers present raised successive questions.

“I'm the head of the military department and I don't know much about rare earth metal minerals. But plasma batteries, I understand, can reach 1200-1300WHKG. ”

The first officer asked, "If used militarily, it would change the way too much existing military equipment is designed, which cannot be called too much change. ”

“It's just strange to me that Huaxia itself is the largest mineral producer of rare earth metals. ”

“Why did the giant animal industry also choose to set up a rare earth plant in Nicaragua? ”

Without hesitation, Weiss replied: "Rare earth metal elements include gadolinium, hafnium, hafnium, hafnium, and so on. As far as intelligence is concerned, the giant animal industry only refines metallic elements such as metallic rice. ”

“So here's a supply and demand balance problem. ”

“Huaxia's mineral reserves of rare earth metals are huge, but their share of rare earth metals minerals mined annually is regulated in order to maintain the price stability of rare earth metals. ”

“The percentage of metals in rare earth minerals is low, and if the demand for single metals in the giant animal industry is to be met, the share of rare earth metal mining in Huaxia will increase significantly, resulting in a imbalance between supply and demand. ”

“Now that Beast Industries themselves are mining rare earth metal minerals overseas, after purifying the metal to meet their industrial needs, they can also sell surplus other rare earth metals to Huaxia, allowing Huaxia to reduce its share of rare earth mining and serve to protect mineral resources. ”

The head of the military component nodded.

Rare earth metals were strategic resources, and although he was not the head of the mineral energy sector, he was aware of their important role in the field of electronic semiconductors and military equipment.

Subsequently, military officers asked what was the destination for the construction of nuclear-related facilities by the mega-beast industry.

“For energy.” Viz replied, rowing several times on the tablet in front of her. When she retracted her hand, an additional photo appeared on the large screen of the conference room.

This is a standard satellite overlooking a photograph showing satellite operating parameters, ground height, time and building proportions that several officers can understand. In the photograph, you can clearly see a square building at the foot of a mountain made entirely of concrete.

Parameters show that the building covers an area of approximately 30,000 square metres and that the wall is one metre thick, with a wall height of an astonishing 20 metres based on sunlight projections.

Inside the fence, two distinctly nuclear reactor chamber buildings are juxtaposed, followed by a round, chimney-like nuclear power plant with a building cooling water tower.

Because Africa's presence is too weak and too weak to allow even a reconnaissance satellite to be thrown over their heads by the big Powers.

This satellite photograph, which was also requested by the intelligence services to be the closest to an orbit over Nicaragua, was taken following a temporary reorbiting order.

In the picture, if it's just these buildings, it's fine.

Commercial nuclear power is not exactly a demon locked in a box, and many countries have commercial nuclear power plants.

It would not be too unacceptable for the megaveterinary industry to build a medium-sized nuclear power plant in Nicaragua, where energy is extremely scarce, in order to facilitate access to large quantities of energy.

After all, Huaxia is an active team in the international commercial nuclear power market, and has been working to promote its own nuclear power outings.

But within this exaggerated concrete perimeter, there are also two semi-burned square buildings and a fully sealed plant building.

“Based on the data from the ocean-going vessel that we had seized two years ago in the Strait of Malacca, in the name of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, carrying the horizontal number of industrial gas centrifuges, we can tentatively conclude that there is likely to be a large quantity of critical centrifuge equipment in the two semi-burned buildings that purifies uranium-235. ”

Witz highlighted the volume of U-235, "So you see, the giant animal industry also has the technology to purify enriched uranium. ”

“This technology will not be officially provided by Huaxia, because the vast majority of uranium enrichment is used in the military sphere, and it is very dangerous. If the giant animal industry really needed it, Huaxia would only supply them with enriched uranium products. ”

“For a giant animal industry that can make witch aircraft, and plasma batteries. They have the technology to build industrial gas centrifuges, and I'm not surprised.” The third officer shrugged his shoulders and mocked himself: “After all, centrifuge technology is much simpler than the first two. ”

Viz asks, "You're not curious, what is their destination for purifying enriched uranium? ”

“To provide more pure fuel rods for nuclear power plants? ”

“Never make a nuclear bomb, I don't think. ”

“Are they going to build a nuclear submarine? ”

Several generals answered this question with a slightly joking tone.

Enrichment of uranium is a substance that can be derived from two different concepts. One is low-enriched uranium enriched at around 3 per cent, which is widely used as fuel for nuclear power plants.

The other is highly enriched uranium, which is more than 90 per cent enriched and composed of the vast majority of uranium-235.

This is the most critical material for the manufacture of nuclear bombs.

Several Pentagon officers have argued that the mega-beast industry is purely commercial-grade low-enriched uranium.

Witz gave some strange smiles to the officers and subconsciously stopped discussing them from the Pentagon.

“Some of you guessed correctly. ”

“The Giant Beast Industry is indeed building a 'nuclear submarine’ and has already done so. ”

These officers echoed each other by saying that their Pentagon was a purely military command structure whose functions were militarily relevant. And the giant animal industry is just a commercial company, and even if they are more technologically advanced, that's what other agencies need to do.

For example, the intelligence agency that the overseas gods hate.

Now that they are sitting here and reading without any hesitation, there are many investigative materials that should not have been seen by them.

This can only mean that the matter of the giant animal industry has become too big to be handled by the Intelligence Agency and can only be handed over to them, the Pentagon, which holds the most powerful force in the world.

If they did build a 'nuclear submarine', the guys at the intelligence agency really didn't see enough.

It's just too absurd.

“Let me explain to you some of our sources. ”

“Two years ago, when we seized the Horizontal Ocean Huge. The president of Giant Beast Industries personally went to the Strait of Malacca, not knowing how to force the horse to give up the execution of our seizure order, causing us a great loss of face. ”

“But we lost face, and at the same time we just made a few calls and a few small promises. ”

Witz pointed to the red phone on the oak table and made a call gesture, "We can call again and again. ”

“But that young president, it's impossible to go to Malaysia again and again. ”

“Subsequently, Giant Veterinary Industries purchased two Il-76 transport aircraft and moved away from sea routes to air transportation. ”

“The transport capability of the two Il-76, I think you know better than I do. ”

“So during that time, the ability to transport goods between the giant animal industry and Nicaragua dropped dramatically, causing the young president to lose his mind. ”

“Change after six months. ”

Here, Witz picked his eyebrows and his tone drifted, “Our intelligence services suddenly discovered that one day there was a huge discrepancy between intelligence on the transport of goods between the giant animal industry and Nicaragua. ”

“Intelligence indicates that Giant Veterinary Industries received nearly 5,000 tons of minerals from Nicaragua, but one of the two transport aircraft stopped at Zhongyun Airport for engine replacement maintenance. ”

“We have investigated all possibilities and have not found this sudden route for the transportation of goods. ”

“Then…”

“10,000 tons, 20,000 tons, 30,000 tons, 50,000 tons...”

“The giant animal industry has also dispatched huge quantities of industrial equipment to Nicaragua, which, however, we did not find in advance any information on the transport routes. They were like ghosts, suddenly appearing in Nicaraguan ports one day. ”

Some of the officers said seriously: "So, intelligence suspected the giant animal industry and secretly built a ‘submarine’ that could escape our investigative techniques? ”

“Or even 'nuclear submarines’ with pelagic capabilities? ”

Viz nodded again, "After all the possibilities have been ruled out, this is the only result left. ”

“Next, you will find this secret ‘submarine’. ”

“Find it, destroy it. ”

At this moment, Witz became a cold-blooded conspirator, cold-blooded, "Since there is no possibility of negotiation, we need to come forward and stop the technological expansion of the giant animal industry. ”

“Didn't the young president turn Nicaragua into a fortress? ”

“Then we will use the most powerful force to crush the fortress. ”

“Intelligence will hand over all investigative material, and you will make that ‘submarine’ disappear, deprive the giant animal industry of all the industries it owns in Nicaragua, and the vital mineral resources that support plasma batteries and holographic glasses manufacturing materials. ”

Several officers silenced for a moment and eventually stood up and nodded.
