Chapter 2831 (2/2)

”Thank you very much.”

Ji Feng nodded with a smile.

Old Zhou didn't say anything more. A moment later, Ji Feng stood up and led the way. From start to finish, he had not interacted much with Old Zhou. Even though he had wanted to chat with Old Zhou, he knew that Old Zhou would definitely not say much. In their line of work, they would definitely not talk much.

Initially, Ji Feng had wanted to ask Old Zhou about the mining of ores, but upon thinking about it, he decided against it. With regards to the Alpha Ore, the fewer people knew about it, the better.

Back at the base, Ji Feng continued to think about how he could not only not attract attention, but also mine ores. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that Zhang Lei's suggestion was the most appropriate — in the name of a private company or a company, this way he could avoid official influences to the greatest extent, and also minimize their impact.

Actually, at this point, Ji Feng had already completed more than half of his mission. He was responsible for finding the Alpha Ore, as for how to get it back, how to mine it, and how to use the country's power. But from the looks of it, he still could not return.

Moreover, Ji Feng had one more thing to do in Taiwan, since the cheetah mercenary group had promised to take revenge on China, if he did not give them the chance, wouldn't that disappoint them?!

”Rumble …”

While Ji Feng was deep in thought, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was his uncle, Ji Zhenping. Moreover, he saw that the line was encrypted using a satellite channel.

He immediately picked up the phone, ”Uncle.”

Ji Zhenping's voice came over the phone, ”Little Feng, prepare yourself. The mining process will begin.”

Hearing this, Ji Feng asked, ”Uncle, has the matter been settled?”

This made him curious. With that island's location, how could it be so easy to mine it? Did the Philippines and Taiwan react at all?

Ji Zhenping replied, ”You just have to wait and see. You can't come back for the time being. After the matter is settled, you need to go there and give some guidance. I will inform you when the time is right.”

Ji Zhenping did not say much about how or who to mine. Ji Feng was curious, but he knew the rules so he did not ask.

At the same time, both the Philippines and Taiwan were alarmed.

Just today, two companies submitted applications to the Philippine and Taiwan Foreign Affairs Departments for the exploitation of an island on the Philippine and Taiwan maritime boundaries. Originally, this was a normal business activity, but because the location of the island was too sensitive, it attracted the attention of the higher echelons of Taiwan and the Philippines.

Neither the Philippines nor Taiwan responded immediately, apparently considering and investigating. The ident.i.ty of the two companies, a mining company from the United States and a mining company from England, both powerful multinational groups, was also noted.

Interestingly, both companies have since submitted applications to Taiwan and the Philippines, respectively, and have indicated the development of a radioactive ore on the island.

Subsequently, word spread that the radioactive ore could be used in medical treatment. The substance and faint radioactivity within it might have a therapeutic effect on the cancer.

When Ji Feng heard the news, he immediately stood up. Wasn't this a joke!

Zhang Lei couldn't help but ask, ”Lunatic, what's wrong?”

Ji Feng frowned. ”If that's the case, won't we be directly telling others the location of the island?”

Since he had submitted the application, the location of the island was no longer a secret.

Zhang Lei nodded and said, ”That's right. And the reason for using it was quite outrageous. Radioactive ores could cure cancer? Those are used to kill people, okay?! ”

When Ji Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. But soon after, a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

Cancer treatment?

Gradually, his tightly knitted eyebrows loosened up. It looked like he had walked into the wrong place!

”So that's how it is!” Ji Feng couldn't help but ask.

”What's going on?” Zhang Lei couldn't help but ask as he was still in a daze.

Ji Feng laughed, ”This must be the work of the military... This is simply bullying! ”

Zhang Lei was still perplexed as he hurriedly asked what was going on.

Ji Feng replied, ”Actually, I also got into the bullhorn at the beginning. Now, it seems that even if the location of this island were to be leaked out, it wouldn't be a big deal. Moreover, it would be fine to apply for the mining rights in broad daylight. This is because no one knows the usage of Alpha Ore! ”

Other than the few military officers who had been freed, no one else knew the purpose of the Alpha Ore. Perhaps no one even knew what it was.

Because the radioactivity of the alpha ore was very weak, compared to other radioactive substances, it would not be excessive to say that it was inert. Even if one were to study it in a laboratory, it would be impossible to find anything out of it, unless one could master the techniques to stimulate the energy of the alpha ore.

However, this technology was not something that could be achieved with the current level of technology!
