Although the matter was settled and personnel transfers were simple, the mobilization of various weapons, equipment, and logistical supplies still required time to prepare.
So, three days might not seem short, but for such a major undertaking, time was still very tight.
The final plan was for Kyushu to place the equipment in several different bases, and once ready, Su Yi would take a landing craft directly to retrieve them.
As for how he would retrieve them, that was not their concern.
Except for the weapons that would be redesigned and produced with overtime work, the first batch of weapons sent over were basically existing stock from military warehouses.
After all, the Jiuzhou Military had their own responsibilities and were not idle; abruptly withdrawing a large number of active-duty equipment could lead to very serious consequences if an accident occurred.
And stocked equipment did not necessarily mean old, used equipment.
There were indeed some used and retired but still functional pieces, but most of them were brand-new equipment, stored in warehouses as a precaution against logistics failing to keep up in the event of a sudden war.
This incident was actually a sudden event for Kyushu.
It could even affect the nation's destiny.
The main reason was that Su Yi offered too much.
First was the right to purchase Sentinel-2 medium exoskeletons.
Compared to the Jiuzhou Military's Sentinel-1 and the Castrated version Sentinel-1 sold by Tianyu Group to other countries, although the former was superior in all aspects, the basic architecture of this exoskeleton armor was the same, with no generational gap.
However, Sentinel-2 was different.
Medium exoskeletons, compared to light exoskeletons, were not just a data improvement; the internal auxiliary equipment and the vast expansion space provided by more external interfaces could bring a very intuitive improvement to combat effectiveness.
Moreover, Sentinel-2 had a built-in combat assistance AI.
This thing was different from the auxiliary aiming modules in Sentinel-1; it was a true intelligent AI.
Of course, it couldn't compare to the AI in Tian Shu or Power Armor, but its capabilities were already extremely powerful.
For the Jiuzhou Military, the biggest attraction was that this built-in AI could control drones.
And it was fully intelligent control; the driver just pointed, and it would control the drones to attack that target.
It could control up to three thousand drones simultaneously.
Once this thing was deployed on the battlefield, it could truly achieve the effect of 'I am the swarm.'
One person forming an army was no joke.
The Jiuzhou Military had already wanted to purchase Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 when they first learned of their existence, and Old Lin's visit to Tianyu Group's press conference was also an attempt to bring up this matter and see if it could be discussed.
Su Yi was originally prepared to sell them Sentinel-2.
It was just that by a strange coincidence, they hadn't brought it up yet, and Su Yi had already approached them.
This, in turn, became one of the conditions for asking Kyushu for help.
Another condition concerned life water.
Of course, it wasn't the version that extended life, but the most basic version that could free people from illness.
Kyushu hoped that Su Yi could provide more stably, instead of Tianyu Medical just releasing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of doses on its official website every now and then, as before.
If possible, they hoped to have the medical insurance department contact Tianyu Medical to discuss the possibility of including this highly effective drug in medical insurance.
As for the specific price, Kyushu did not demand that it had to be below a certain amount.
They planned to have a professional team negotiate with Tianyu Medical's people at that time.
Many things are like this: as long as there is room for negotiation, it's already largely successful.
Previously, Kyushu's medical department had also raised this matter with Tianyu Medical.
However, everything was handled by Tian Shu, which believed that this would not maximize the group's profits, so it did not agree.
In fact, Su Yi himself didn't really care much about these small gains now.
Since the Kyushu Official also considered this one of the conditions, he naturally agreed.
It was merely a matter of earning a bit less per dose; after being included in medical insurance, more would be sold, and overall, he should still earn more.
As for raw materials, that was no longer an issue.
Wei Wei's hometown was almost taken over, so she had plenty of life water; getting more wasn't a problem.
Then came the last condition, which might have a relatively large impact.
Kyushu hoped to cooperate with Tianyu Group's ecological farm in Jiangcheng, allowing a well-known agricultural university in Jiangcheng to enter the farm to study those plants.
At first glance, this condition seemed a bit absurd.
Could such a small matter even be brought up in such a setting?
In reality, it fully demonstrated Kyushu's thousands of years of political wisdom.
Given the existence of 'life source essence' in the world, which they couldn't research or understand themselves.
Knowing that Tianyu Group's people could not only use this energy to create life water and those benignly mutated plants, but even people could gain superpowers.
It would be ridiculous for Kyushu to say they didn't want to research it.
But Tianyu Group had always been vague about the so-called 'life source essence,' clearly not wanting to co-develop it with others.
Previously, Kyushu hadn't bothered to ask for trouble.
But now it was different; Su Yi not only personally told Old Lin about the existence of the Otherworld but also had Yue Ling personally demonstrate magic.
The Kyushu high-level naturally believed this was a signal actively released by Su Yi:
"On this matter, it's not impossible to discuss."
If it could be discussed, everything was easy.
However, the degree had to be well controlled.
If they immediately demanded Su Yi disclose the secret of 'life source essence' or acquire the Otherworld's technology in this area as soon as they cooperated, that would clearly be unrealistic.
So they settled for the next best thing.
They didn't seek the Otherworld's latest supernatural power technology, only to keep up with the technologies Tianyu Group had already brought to Blue Star.
While other countries had no clue about 'life source essence,' Kyushu could already, through its own learning and research, bring these magical crops that could enhance human physique to the dinner tables of all its people.
This was a huge step forward.
The Kyushu high-level always understood one thing: neither Tianyu Group nor Su Yi was an enemy of Kyushu, nor even a competitor.
From the moment Tianyu Group and Su Yi emerged, there had been no conflicts with the Kyushu Official, nor had they done anything to threaten Kyushu's interests.
Even now, occupying Penglai Island and astonishing the White-headed Eagle, he could even establish his own nation and declare himself emperor if he wished, but he still hadn't done so, instead continuing to identify himself as a Kyushu person.
Compared to this common understanding, the Kyushu high-level was content to be confused about minor issues like whether he needed a passport to frequently visit Penglai Island, whether it counted as illegal entry, what kind of place Penglai Island actually was, or which country's territory it belonged to.
It was still the same saying: Kyushu didn't need to be better than Tianyu Group in these fields; it only needed to be more advanced than other countries.
