Jiang Xuan laughed: "Mr. Dick, what makes you think that you are so powerful that you can negotiate terms with our Long Yan?"

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Dick, without your help from Britain, it is only a matter of time before our Dragon Flame conquers these four mines. What qualifications do you think your Britain has to negotiate with our Dragon Flame?"

Dick was stunned, and his expression suddenly turned pale.

He understood that Jiang Xuan would never discuss any cooperation with him until he achieved his goal.

Now Dick has no bargaining chips.

It is almost impossible to pay the minimum price in exchange for these two mineral veins.

He could either agree to Long Yan's conditions, or send out British troops to occupy these two ports regardless of the consequences.

However, both of these conditions may cost Britain a very heavy price.

After thinking of this, Dick sighed. Although he was the leader of Britain in Egypt, he did not have the power to make decisions.

Waging war with France without authorization was a very heavy price for them.

Dick could only say: "Okay, I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible."

...

At this time, Britain.

Stephenson, as a scientific and technical personnel who researched and developed the British Dreadnought-class battleship, did cause quite a turmoil after his disappearance.

Even the British royal family, George III, was shocked.

For George III, Stephenson's disappearance was undoubtedly a great loss.

He is the person who mastered the technology of the Dragon Flame giant steam engine. Although his research data and information have been preserved, he plays a very important role.

If he were dead, there would be no need to worry, but if he was still alive and fled to a country that was a hostile country of Britain, that would be completely intolerable to Britain.

George III ordered the earth to be dug three feet deep to find Stephenson.

But what George III didn't know was that Stephenson had already boarded a ship bound for Longyan, had left Britain long ago, and was now on the vast ocean.

Therefore, George III's action of digging three feet into the ground was nothing more than loud thunder and small raindrops. After a few days of tossing, the matter completely subsided and no one was affected.

As for the development of the Dreadnought-class battleship, a prototype has been produced and launched, and is ready for the final debugging stage.

This comforted George III very much, although Stephenson's flight caused Britain to lose a talent.

But the news that the Dreadnought-class battleship is about to be successfully developed has injected a strong dose of medicine into Britain.

George III's heart, which had not been excited for a long time, was once again aroused.

King George III immediately ordered the news to be reported to the whole country in the form of newspapers.

Countless Britons are immersed in joy over the successful development of the Dreadnought-class battleship.

Except for one person.

Newton was in the laboratory at the moment, immersed in a study. This was his new research direction after discovering the existence of 'force'.

The laws of mechanics have become perfect through his and Mo Cheng's continuous research.

There is no motivation to continue research, at least for now.

This is his favorite subject since he was a child, and its name is mathematics.
