AWAKENING THE DAILY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Chapter 625: 252, For Lin Mo, the big shots of the sea, land, and air started arguing!_2 Chapter 625: 252, For Lin Mo, the big shots of the sea, land, and air started arguing!_2 After all, this thing is truly useful.

To say that it adds an extra layer of BFUU to various high-speed aviation equipment would not be an overstatement.

The National Elder was not in a hurry, just watching the large screen in the conference room while listening to the discussions and arguments of everyone present.

Today’s scene once again proved his initial thoughts about Lin Mo were correct.

For someone like him, one could not come on strong but should, as much as possible, comply with the other’s intentions or find a peaceful point of agreement for both parties.

If not, it would be very difficult to get along with Lin Mo.

Once the voices in the conference room died down and quiet descended, the National Elder looked around and finally spoke up, “I understand your thoughts, but what I want to tell you is, I don’t have the final say on this matter either.”

“The person who developed this vector engine is Lin Mo.”

Lin Mo?

…

Upon hearing this name, most of the people present showed surprise, but quickly regained their composure, clearly not particularly shocked he could achieve such a feat.

Of course, there were some who did not know who Lin Mo was, so they started whispering and asking the people around them.

The National Elder didn’t rush them, allowing them to inquire about Lin Mo among themselves.

Even though Lin Mo once caused a big stir with Chen Shanhe, and many had seen the live broadcast on the internet, theoretically, most people should recognize him.

But Grand Xia was too vast, with an enormous population, and a never-ending stream of news every day.

Moreover, many people present rarely went online and didn’t usually focus on societal news, so it was normal for them not to know Lin Mo for the time being.

However,

Once they gradually learned about the affair between Lin Mo and Chen Shanhe from the people around them, the expressions on their faces became increasingly animated.

They really hadn’t anticipated

that an ordinary dockworker could trip up a powerful government official and even develop the world’s leading Dark Intel Organization.

His subordinates included both excellent soldiers and adept generals.

Not to mention far off matters,

just to speak of the world’s number one hacker under his command was enough to astonish everyone present.

What puzzled them even more was why such a person was not living it up abroad but had voluntarily returned to his country and was also willing to cooperate by handing over some of the nation’s important intelligence and secrets.

These actions alone were already baffling and unbelievable.

Seeing their expressions, the National Elder knew their inner thoughts but did not expose them, nor did he offer any explanation.

Instead, he asked directly, “Lin Mo has a very special status.”

“The contribution he has made cannot be simply rewarded in the manner of a soldier or a researcher.”

“Perhaps we should consider another possibility, which is to negotiate a deal with Lin Mo.”

“But he lacks neither money nor various resources, so even now, I can’t think of what we could offer to trade with him.”

“If we don’t handle this matter properly, it could potentially affect many things in the future.”

Upon hearing this,

everyone in the room showed a thoughtful expression, pondering what they could use to strike a deal with Lin Mo.

It wasn’t just about Lin Mo;

every person present, in fact, didn’t place too much emphasis on money, and they knew they couldn’t simply buy Lin Mo off with it.

To make him compromise, some other means were necessary.

But what those means should be would require detailed discussion and negotiation,

…

Meanwhile, at another location.

The ten fighters from the Air Force and the Navy had already taken off and were speeding towards the designated area.

The most spectacular duel of the year was about to begin.

However, compared to previous years, this year everyone’s enthusiasm wasn’t as high, because everyone understood that once the Air Force brought out the vector engine, everything changed.

After the initial surprise, the Army representative couldn’t help but tease, “You’ve been hiding this from us, huh?

Didn’t you say you had no secret weapons?”

The expression on the Navy representative’s face was also quite unpleasant.

The Air Force representative said with a smile, “The way you put it…

Actually, we’ve just recently completed this thing.

We’ve only tested it for a few days, and whether it can actually be used is still a big question mark.”

“I guess we’ve given you a good laugh!”

Both of the others simply curled their lips, not taking his words to heart.

The Army representative couldn’t help but say, “Come on, we’re all from the same ‘mountain’.

Which ghost story are you singing now?”

“It seems there’s no suspense in today’s competition.”

“You’ve been losing for so many years, now it’s about time you had a moment to puff your chest out, all thanks to your capable researchers!”

“How does that saying go…

you’re just lucky!”

“But let’s get the unpleasant talk out of the way first, you can’t be stingy with Big Brother.

Send some of those engines my way, I want my troops to have some practice with them too!”

Though the Army had very few fighter jets, that didn’t mean they had none.

So if there was an opportunity to benefit, he certainly wouldn’t miss it.

And he was also the typical dreamer.

The Army had fighters, and the Navy had even more—more than any other service branch—and they needed fighters with vertical take-off and landing capabilities the most.

After all, there are runways on land, and the length of runways can be set as needed; at worst, they’re just made longer.

But the length of an aircraft carrier’s deck is limited, so currently, planes must use a ski-jump to ensure take-off.

Landing is even more important.

Currently, aircraft carriers commonly use arresting cables for landings.

Although this technology has been mastered by Grand Xia and the cost of arresting cables has decreased, they are still disposable and very expensive.

If vertical takeoff and landing were possible, that would be incredibly convenient.

Plus, that’s the economical side of things.

If the J-16 fighters were equipped with this type of engine, even if not many, just having two or three on each aircraft carrier could have an unparalleled impact.

With that thought, the Navy representative couldn’t be bothered to watch the grand competition any longer and turned to the Air Force representative beside him to say, “The Army Big Brother is right, the three services are one family, you can’t do without me, and I can’t do without you.”

“Whenever our Navy has a technological breakthrough, don’t we also provide it to you without seeking compensation?”

“I’m saying this time, shouldn’t our Air Force be a bit more generous?”

Facing the other two’s requests, the Air Force representative was not the least bit concerned, saying with a hint of mockery, “Oh please, you two are playing nice now, forgetting how stingy you were before.”

“Especially the Navy, I’m not shy to say it about you guys.”

“We only get so much military budget each year, and the Navy always takes two-thirds, leaving me and the Army Big Brother to split what’s left.”

“You take so much money, yet look at the state of your research—do you have no shame?”

Hearing this, the Army representative immediately chimed in, “That’s right, the Navy always takes the most, and when it comes to recruiting, you guys are first in line too.

What do you have to be unsatisfied with?”

“I say, you guys just wait a bit; this technology should be tested by our Army first!”

The Navy wasn’t pleased either, saying with agitation, “You two don’t know what pain is because you’re standing, not crouching.

Tell me, submarines and aircraft carriers, the most expensive forces, are they important or not?”

“Which country in the world doesn’t spend the most on its Navy?

Is that because of my personal embezzlement?”

“And how many overseas missions have you carried out?

At least the Army Big Brother has Special Forces operating abroad.”

“Air Force, tell me, aren’t you just flying domestically?

Whenever escort is needed, isn’t it always our Navy that moves first?”

“Every time there’s an external threat, isn’t it our Navy that rushes to the destination tirelessly all day and night?”

“After all the effort we put in, is asking for some vector engines too much?”

“I don’t think it’s too much at all!”
