Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Despite this, the show is still undoubtedly the global viewership champion.

"...the mining operations are currently nearing completion, and within three days, the remaining ore veins will be fully mined and transported to Eastern City via the World Gate."

Accompanied by the host’s narration, the camera showed the World Gate.

A row of tall, six-legged automated transport machines, each carrying over three hundred tons of blue-glowing ore, specifically energy copper ore, swiftly emerged from the ripples.

Although Meng Xiaochuan had seen it many times before, he still felt the beauty of industrial power.

He knew this was a "step-type" intelligent vehicle specially developed by Great Xia for mining, which requires no human driving and is fully controlled by intelligent AI.

Their name is—Miner.

Compared to traditional ore transport vehicles, the advantages of machine miners are numerous.

They are equipped with mechanical arms that can automatically mine ore and also automatically load ore.

Because of their six-legged stepping structure, they can traverse even the most battered roads without needing to pre-build a path.

The Pioneer Alliance purchased five hundred machine miners for mining operations, capable of transporting over 160,000 tons of energy copper ore at once.

He also knew that even the Iron Fist Civilization had taken notice of the machine miners, and had signed an order with Great Xia Corporation to purchase 200,000 units.

Truly a civilization trade; when the Iron Fist People make a move, it’s a massive order slamming down.

With the demonstration of machine miners mining energy copper, combined with the advertising effect of the Iron Fist People’s purchase, countries worldwide have placed orders.

According to media reports, Kunlun Heavy Industries has received orders for machine miners, accumulating to a staggering 250,000 units.

There are rumors circulating online that many countries are not buying these machines for mining, but are interested in the excellent step-type chassis, intending to modify them, add missile-like weapons, and turn them into military equipment.

Not long after.

The broadcast finally rang out in the departure lounge: "Dear passengers, your flight TK2186 is about to start boarding."

Meng Xiaochuan immediately stood up, picked up his suitcase, and walked to the boarding gate.

One minute later.

His turn came in the queue.

The female ticket inspector checked his passport and said in standard Great Xia Language: "Sir, welcome aboard Antai Royal Airlines."

Meng Xiaochuan clearly felt that the female ticket inspector’s smile was much more enthusiastic towards him than towards the previous Antai person.

He had been staying in Antai Kingdom for a week and could profoundly experience the super-national treatment that Great Xia People currently enjoy here.

This change began with an incident last year.

A Great Xia Corporation sent two employees to Antai Kingdom on a business trip.

Upon landing and entering, the two were intentionally harassed by customs for not tipping and were locked in a small black room.

One employee managed to contact domestic authorities, and the matter quickly escalated.

Great Xia’s foreign affairs department had long been very dissatisfied with this behavior from the Antai People and demanded that Antai severely deal with the concerned personnel.

But Antai people procrastinated and just tried to muddle through, showing no willingness to handle the responsible individuals.

Great Xia became instantly furious.

At that time, Great Xia officially adhered to the "Great Xia First" principle, and how could they tolerate such disgusting conduct continuing?

Great Xia immediately announced a re-examination of Antai Kingdom’s qualification in the Pioneer Alliance, withheld a batch of important exports to Antai, and directly issued a wanted notice for the relevant responsible Antai customs officials.

Antai Kingdom directly knelt.

Not only did the Antai Royal Family actively contact Great Xia to apologize, but Antai officials also solemnly apologized, promised that such incidents would never happen again, and dismissed a large number of customs officials.

The customs staff asking for tips, and the personnel locking them in the small black room were even sent to Great Xia for trial, required to at least serve ten years of hard labor in Great Xia.

This incident severely shocked Antai officials, and from then on, Antai People dared not mess with Great Xia People.

With the outbreak of the frost disaster, Antai Kingdom became even less daring to offend Great Xia People.

Because only Great Xia possesses the black technology weapon, the Wind Stabilizing Pearl to counter the frost disaster. If Great Xia is angered and an outbreak occurs in the Kingdom, and Great Xia is unwilling to deploy the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, how many Antai People will perish?

Meng Xiaochuan saw news that in Antai’s capital, Guli Man, areas with a higher concentration of Great Xia People have Antai special police patrolling around the clock.

When Great Xia People encounter trouble, as long as they report to the Antai police department, the department will certainly treat it with the utmost importance.

Soon.

Meng Xiaochuan entered the aircraft’s business compartment through the boarding bridge and sat in his seat.

After putting his luggage away, he took out his phone and sent a message to his wife: "Honey, I’ve boarded the plane, about three and a half hours to Tianfu City!"

Alice replied instantly: "Safe journey!"

Just then.

A pretty Antai Air Hostess walked over briskly, apologetically saying: "We sincerely apologize, sir. We’ve just received an urgent notification that all flights within Antai Kingdom are temporarily canceled. Aircraft already in flight must find nearby places to land."

Meng Xiaochuan looked bewildered.

What on earth?!

I’m already on the plane, and you say it’s not flying anymore. Isn’t this just messing with people!

Meng Xiaochuan quickly reacted, and nervously asked: "Is there a major natural disaster about to happen?"

The air hostess nodded: "Sir, it seems likely."

She paused, and seeing that he was from Great Xia, added a little more information: "Our supervisor mentioned that the Kingdom seems to have received an urgent message from Great Xia, leading to the last-minute decision to ground all flights."

Meng Xiaochuan sighed helplessly: "Alright!"

The air hostess offered eagerly: "Let me help you with your luggage."

She took down the suitcase, showing an attractive smile: "Sir, could you add me on WeChat?"

Meng Xiaochuan glanced at her eyes, sharply catching a kind of desire named "flirtation."

He decisively waved his hand: "No need, I’m already married."

The air hostess smiled charmingly: "No problem! You probably can’t return to Great Xia for a few days, and I won’t be working these days either. Perhaps I can show you around the classic sites of Guli Man."

The "tour" in this sentence evidently doesn’t merely mean sightseeing, it most likely implies other activities, such as playing in the hotel late at night.

Meng Xiaochuan was immediately stunned.

In the few days he spent in Antai Kingdom, he had encountered quite a few Antai girls wanting to add him on WeChat, but this was the first time he encountered someone as bold as the air hostess.
