283: Chapter 283 A single vehicle has made various countries uneasy?
Early morning.
Chengbei District, Mingzhu City.
Guanghui Yunting Hotel.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight crossed the city skyscrapers and spilled into the top-floor suite.
The tablet on the coffee table was still lit.
On the screen was the project proposal whose preliminary direction had just been finalized.

Su Qingxue sat by the sofa, looking down at the few notes added to the proposal.
Lu Li leaned back in a dining chair, holding the sandwich delivered by the hotel, and took a slow bite.
The hint of ambiguous atmosphere from last night had been tacitly suppressed by the two by early morning.
It was just that whenever Su Qingxue looked up occasionally, her earlobes would still uncontrollably heat up.
Lu Li, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened.
He even lazily commented.
"The breakfast at this hotel is not bad."
Su Qingxue glanced at him.
"The things you focus on are always so strange."
Lu Li swallowed the sandwich and smiled.
"Food is the paramount necessity of the people."
"President Lu is so down-to-earth?"
"Can't help it. After all, I have to lead Guanghui Technology to the world, so I have to be well-fed first."
Su Qingxue looked at her unserious husband and was about to speak, when the phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated.
She glanced at the caller ID.
The head of the Overseas Business Department.
Su Qingxue's expression turned slightly serious as she answered the call.
"Speak."
On the other end of the line, the voice of the head of the Overseas Business Department clearly couldn't suppress their excitement.
But mixed in with the excitement was a hint of nervousness.
"President Su, the overseas market has completely exploded."
Su Qingxue's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"star wing m1?"
"Yes."
The person in charge said quickly.
"Since last night, the number of partnership applications received by the overseas department's backend has increased more than tenfold."
"Overseas users were already fanatical about the Virtual Helmet, home Robot, Guanghui Mobile, and Mirage Air Imaging."
"But those products are, in the end, consumer technology."
"star wing m1 is different."
She paused, her tone lowering slightly.
"President Su, many people overseas do not view it as a vehicle."
"They view it as a strategic technology."
Su Qingxue did not speak.
She looked up at Lu Li.
Lu Li was still eating breakfast, looking lazy, but had already turned his gaze over.
Su Qingxue turned on speakerphone.
"Give me the details."
The person in charge reported immediately.
"Several consortiums in the Middle East are asking for orders of 100,000 star wing m1 units right off the bat, willing to pay the full amount in advance, and even willing to accept waiting in line for delivery."
"Airlines in Europe have contacted us, hoping to establish a joint low-altitude travel company with Guanghui Technology."
"They are willing to give up controlling interest, just to obtain the overseas operation authorization for the star wing m1."
"Several large enterprises in the island nation have also applied, hoping to introduce the star wing m1 to build low-altitude commuting networks in core cities like Tokyo and Osaka."
"Southeast Asia is even more direct."
"Several transportation departments, not using their official names but rather contacting Guanghui Technology through commercial shell companies, want to purchase the entire low-altitude transportation solution."
The more Su Qingxue listened, the calmer her expression became.
She knew these were just the surface.
Sure enough.
The person in charge's next sentence was in a lower voice.
"There are some other applications that are more problematic."
"They look like ordinary technology companies, but our overseas risk control department checked, and they basically all have state capital or even military backgrounds behind them."
Su Qingxue tapped her fingertips lightly on the sofa armrest.
"What do they want?"
The person in charge was silent for a moment.
"The Anti-gravity Engine."
The air went quiet.
Lu Li's hand holding the sandwich also paused.
The person in charge continued.
"Some are willing to pay 50 billion to purchase a single Anti-gravity Engine sample."
"Others have proposed that even if they cannot buy the complete technology, as long as Guanghui Technology is willing to sell the unencapsulated version, they can accept any price."
"What's even more exaggerated is that several shell companies have settled for the next best thing, saying that if the Anti-gravity Engine cannot be sold separately, they are willing to purchase the entire star wing m1 units in large quantities."
"The quantities range from ten thousand to hundreds of thousands of units."
Su Qingxue's gaze deepened.
"Hundreds of thousands of units?"
"Yes."
The person in charge gave a wry smile.
"President Su, this no longer looks like a normal commercial procurement."
"I suspect that what they are truly interested in is not the civilian commuting value."
"But the military potential."
Su Qingxue did not answer immediately.
She certainly understood the weight of those words.
Domestically, the star wing m1 was promoted as the entry point for the low-altitude economy.
It was a change in the future commuting methods for ordinary people.
It was an upgrade to the urban transportation system.
But if viewed from another angle.
If it were placed on the battlefield.
Then it would not be an ordinary vehicle at all.
Low noise.
Low heat signature.
High mobility.
Vertical take-off and landing.
Rapid advancement.
Rapid extraction.
No reliance on traditional runways.
Can traverse complex terrain.
If combined with reconnaissance modules, remote control systems, and light weapon platforms, the star wing m1 could even become an extremely special battlefield unit.
It could conduct reconnaissance.
It could transport special operations personnel.
It could perform high-altitude maneuvers in urban street fighting.
It could also undertake rapid infiltration missions in mountainous areas, jungles, islands, and border regions.
Even without installing any weapons.
Merely as a high-speed individual mobility platform, it would be enough to change many tactical modes.
Su Qingxue pondered for a moment, and said in a calm tone:
"Reject all applications to purchase the Anti-gravity Engine separately."
"We will not discuss unencapsulated versions."
"Data on high-power models will not be made public."
"Temporarily freeze large orders involving bulk procurement."
The person in charge responded immediately.
"Understood."
Su Qingxue continued.
"You stabilize the other party first."
"Do not promise any delivery time; let's earn the foreign exchange first."
"All overseas purchase applications will be uniformly entered into the strategic risk assessment process."
"Wait until President Lu and I have finished discussing, then I will give you a reply."
"Yes, President Su."
The call ended.
The room was quiet for a few seconds.
Su Qingxue put down the phone and looked at Lu Li:
"You heard it all."
Lu Li placed the remaining half of the sandwich back on the plate:
"Mm, I heard it."
Su Qingxue looked at him:
"Can the star wing m1 really be sold abroad?"
Lu Li did not answer immediately.
He leaned back in the dining chair, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table.
Is the star wing m1 sensitive?
Of course it is sensitive.
Once Anti-gravity technology appears, no country could possibly treat it only as a civilian product.
But the problem is.
Guanghui Technology needs to continue expanding its overseas influence.
The Virtual Helmet, home Robot, Guanghui Mobile, and Mirage Air Imaging have already built a sufficiently large reputation overseas.
But the thing that can truly allow Guanghui Technology to transform from a global tech giant into a global civilization-level tech symbol is the star wing m1.
It cannot just fly domestically.
If the star wing m1 only served the domestic market, it would of course still be shocking.
But if it could appear over cities like London, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai, Seoul, Sydney, Berlin, and Rome.
Then the significance would be completely different.
That would represent Guanghui Technology truly selling "Future Life" to the whole world.
