Supreme Man

"What's the situation?" Ye Hao raised an eyebrow and asked.

"They brought several bulldozers, cranes, and dump trucks, digging at a place without any minerals. They excavate a few truckloads of soil a day but don't drive off until noon. When it's lunch break, those people wander around other mountains in Nanling instead of resting at the site." Lv Dong said.

"Did you try to ask them about it?" Ye Hao frowned and asked.

"Dare not! They aren't ordinary people; each of them has at least reached the level of National Martial Arts Stage One. Although they pretend to be ordinary folks, even with my National Martial Arts Stage Six power, I can sense they're at Stage One..."

"Oh? You've made a breakthrough?" Ye Hao's furrowed brows relaxed upon hearing Lv Dong's breakthrough, which meant another strong point added to Wealth Island. Although Stage Six is still fairly weak, Ye Hao believed Lv Dong would definitely continue to break through, considering he was quite a genius from a hidden family in the past.

"Two days ago, after seeing you, boss, blow up the Jingguo Shrine, I was so excited that I had a breakthrough." Lv Dong replied with a smile. He wasn't lying; it was indeed when Ye Hao bombed the Jingguo Shrine that he excitedly crossed National Martial Arts Stage Five into Stage Six.

"Haha! Going by what you say, if I keep stimulating you, won't you enter the Innate stage soon?" Ye Hao laughed and said.

"Better not. I would rather avoid that type of breakthrough, especially since your safety is paramount, boss!" Lv Dong thought back to Ye Hao's trip to Tokyo, still feeling a bit fearful, but thankfully Ye Hao returned safely.

"Hehe, let's talk business! You said each of them is roughly at National Martial Arts Stage One; did they discover anything while wandering the mountains?" Ye Hao asked.

"Didn't discover anything. They just leisurely wandered around the mountains. However, there are several people in the other mountains stronger than me. I passed by twice and got warned twice. If it weren't for my family's inherited cultivation technique, which has the ability to mask levels, they might have killed me." Lv Dong said fearfully.

"Stronger than you?" Ye Hao's recently relaxed brows furrowed again. People stronger than Lv Dong were at least Stage Seven or above, and several Stage Seven and above individuals were certainly not from ordinary factions.

"Yes! Their aura is quite formidable. Initially, I estimate their strength might be comparable to Master Tyson and Master Tai Lin from Wealth Island." Lv Dong said.

"Did you notice what they were doing?" Ye Hao asked.

"Didn't notice anything. They just stood quietly, changing a batch of people every day. There are a total of six, with a batch of three guarding that mountain. However, they don't really seem like they are guarding it; they seem like strangers, standing at a distance, and rarely seen speaking to each other." Lv Dong said.

"Which mountain did you detect a passage in?" Ye Hao asked.

"It's right behind the mountain that the three are guarding."

"Show me specifically the positions of the diggers and the Mountain Guardians, and also draw the approximate locations where the diggers go for lunch break." Ye Hao said.

"It's a bit troublesome to draw by hand, boss. I think our Wealth Island should consider creating a satellite..." Lv Dong suggested.

Ye Hao, upon hearing this, thought why not indeed! Wealth Island has such capability, so why not launch a satellite? Then Wealth Island would have its own network, and communication wouldn't need to worry about interception.

"We'll talk about this later; first, sketch out the positions for me to see." Ye Hao said.

"Alright, boss, just hold on a moment." Lv Dong said and then hung up to quickly sketch a blueprint for Ye Hao.

After hanging up on Lv Dong, Ye Hao called Qin Xiweng.

"Chairman."

"Xi Wen, if we at Wealth Island wanted to design our own satellite, could we launch it into space?" Ye Hao was not very familiar with these aerospace matters, so he wanted Qin Xiweng to look into it.

"Possible, but it shouldn't interfere with the country's satellites or others' satellite signals, and certainly shouldn't be used to eavesdrop on others' information or data." Qin Xiweng, who was quite knowledgeable in these aspects, answered Ye Hao directly.

"Hehe, how about launching a satellite for ourselves then?" Ye Hao suggested with a smile.

"That would be great, but we don't have control over satellite technology." Qin Xiweng replied helplessly.

"Hehe, I'll figure something out. You have some precision machine tools prepared first! Once I get the technology, we'll start research immediately." Ye Hao promised with a smile.

"Really? Chairman, you have such technology?" Qin Xiweng stood excitedly, then seemed to realize he was losing his composure, and apologized: "What, Chairman, my apologies!"

"Don't be so restrained, be more relaxed." Ye Hao said with a smile.

"It's the impact you gave me that's too strong, Chairman. Although you haven't got satellite technology right now, I believe you can bring this technology to Wealth Island." Qin Xiweng praised.

"We'll try our best! Hope we can soon have a satellite of our own at Wealth Island." Ye Hao said with a smile.

"Do you plan to launch a communication satellite, a real-time surveillance satellite, or a network coverage signal satellite, Chairman?" Qin Xiweng asked.

"A multifunctional satellite, capable of phone calls, internet, and location monitoring." Ye Hao replied.

"This... would require launching many satellites; one satellite can't accomplish so many functions, can it?" Qin Xiweng remarked, recalling that there are different types of satellites—some orbit the earth using gravitational forces, while others use solar energy to cover signal sources in designated areas.

"Hehe, let Wealth Island break the tradition of others' satellites! Then Wealth Island might directly achieve real-time communication without cumbersome ground cables." Ye Hao said.

"Haha, we could have a telecommunications subsidiary then, right?" Qin Xiweng said excitedly.

"You decide that, and I'll work on getting the technology for Zhang Hua and strive to research and develop it as soon as possible." Ye Hao said.

"Beep! Beep!"

Ye Hao's phone chimed with a message, and Ye Hao said: "Get the precision machine tools ready; I have to go now."

"Alright, Chairman, you go ahead." Qin Xiweng replied and then hung up, planning the future profitable path for Wealth Island.

Ye Hao opened the multimedia message, which was sent by Lv Dong. On the blueprint, Lv Dong had sketched a rough outline, and Ye Hao took a few glances, suddenly furrowing his brows.

"This... seems to be measuring the Earth's crust!" Ye Hao mused as he looked at the people and the mountain regions they visited drawn by Lv Dong, furrowing his brow in thought. (To be continued.
