61: It's outrageous. You've messed up Japan's national treasure technology.

Chapter 61: This is outrageous, you even got the national treasure-level technology from Neon Country!

The replication was complete, and the awarded achievement points were instantly credited.

Lu Ze surveyed his surroundings, looking for any technological items worth replicating next time he visited.

After all, even within the category of CNC machine tools, there are countless types; some are suitable for cutting, some for high-precision alloy processing, and others for grinding mirror surfaces. Each type has a different application.

It's like pencils, ballpoint pens, fountain pens, and eyebrow pencils are all pens, but their uses are vastly different.

Unfortunately, it seemed he had explored this D-level Area already. Lu Ze planned to visit other areas next week to see if there were any good things.

"Let's go back!" He called out to Lucy.

"So soon? There are still a few D-level Areas we haven't explored yet." Lucy tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"Let's save it for next time. You must be hungry, right?" Lu Ze glanced at the time on his watch; it was almost four in the afternoon. "If we head back now, we can make it for dinner."

"Okay." Lucy nodded, then suddenly had an idea: "Why don't we try that new British restaurant tonight?"

A new British restaurant had recently opened in town, and she wanted to try it.

"British food?"

When Lu Ze heard that name, question marks appeared above his head. "What can you even eat there? Don't they only have three dishes in total?"

It's said that the two thinnest books in the world are Britain's cookbook and Eagleland's history, to the point where writing them on a single page would be too much.

Britain's three dishes combined are fries, fried fish, fish and chips, and a dark cuisine dish called 'Stargazy Pie.'

As for Eagleland's history, that's even more significant; its two hundred years of history wouldn't even cover two classes in Da Xia's history curriculum.

"It seems that's true... then never mind." Lucy couldn't seem to recall any other British dishes. How was that different from eating fried chicken fast food?

Just then.

Suddenly, from behind the two of them, an irritating and muffled male voice called out: "Are you Lu?"

"Why are you in the D-level Area? Shouldn't it still be working hours?"

The voice, which sounded somewhat familiar to Lu Ze, made him instinctively turn around. It was none other than the LLNL Laboratory HR director he had spoken to on the phone previously.

'Oh no, he's not here to check up on me, is he?' Lu Ze thought to himself.

He hadn't heard that the laboratory's HR department would check on employees or absences. Wasn't slacking off at work an accepted natural law?

Just as he was about to explain, Lucy stepped forward.

"Since when did the HR department have the right to manage and inspect which area laboratory staff should be in during working hours?"

"Does that mean Lu Ze and I need to report to you every time we go somewhere from now on, Director Kerry Heath?" Lucy crossed her arms, glaring unhappily at the balding middle-aged man in front of her.

She was already in a bad mood from being hungry all morning, and now Kerry Heath had to come to this D-level Area and meddle in her business?

"Sorry, it's Lucy. Then never mind, I was just asking." Kerry Heath quickly prepared to make a quick exit.

Because Lucy's figure had been obscured by the machine tool next to her, he had only seen Lu Ze. He now wished he could slap himself a few times; why did he have to meddle in other people's business in this area?

He was just an ordinary person; what if they held a grudge against him?

Watching Kerry Heath's frantic escape, it was as if some terrifying monster was chasing him.

'What exactly is Lucy's identity? This is the laboratory's HR director...' Lu Ze fell into thought.

In the LLNL Laboratory, while the HR director wasn't an absolute high-level executive with final say, he was still considered a mid-to-high-level manager.

But he was scared away by just two sentences?

Even Professor Dr. Daman Johnson, who held a very high position in the laboratory before, had also decisively given up on inviting him to join the 'NIF' project group because of Lucy's few words.

Lu Ze muttered to himself, 'It seems Lucy's identity is not as simple as just being the child of a high-level laboratory official.'

Even the child of a high-level official would absolutely not receive this kind of 'respect.' The entire LLNL Laboratory shouldn't have such a powerful figure who could change the dynamics.

While he was still pondering these questions.

"Lu Ze, it's my turn to treat tonight. What do you want to eat?" Lucy asked, following their usual routine.

"The same French restaurant as before."

Lu Ze answered without hesitation; that French restaurant was the most upscale in town.

Although he had some doubts about Lucy's identity, as good friends, he always treated her equally when it came to freeloading.

Brothers, it's time for another free meal!

'After dinner, I'll send this machine tool technology to Da Xia.' He thought to himself.

On the other side.

At this moment, the sun was just rising in Da Xia.

Zheng Lixing and Zhang Yuli had arrived early at this extremely discreet mail reception room.

Of course, this room had recently been officially named the 'Top Secret External Liaison Office,' but only a handful of people in the entire Xia Academy of Sciences knew about it.

"The Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle has already reached Persia, and it's estimated to arrive in Palestine in another one or two weeks."

"If all goes well, the sales of the Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle will expand rapidly." This time, Zheng Lixing didn't smoke but instead used a few broad bean snacks as a substitute.

"Hmm, have the 732 Military Factory expand its production line scale."

Zhang Yuli continued with a serious tone: "Also, the profits must be properly distributed. Half of them are for the 'Mysterious Organization' as a share, and you need to instruct Old Li well."

He knew Li Yunshan, Factory Director's temper; while he certainly wouldn't misappropriate funds, he wasn't shy about using them to research new weapon equipment.

Since it was agreed to give the 'Mysterious Organization' 50% of the net profit, Da Xia would absolutely not shortchange them a single cent.

"Don't worry, Old Li might be a bit impulsive, but he can distinguish right from wrong on this matter."

Zheng Lixing waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about this issue.

"That's good. Just now, the report said that the J-20 project also seems to be going smoothly, with the research and development progress advanced by another month. The H-20 is also in the final stages of preparing for development."

Zhang Yuli couldn't hide the smile on his face: "Even the C919 has been reporting continuous good news recently. Good news just keeps coming one after another."

The three major projects currently underway were progressing incredibly fast, with results practically pouring out every one or two days.

Of course, both of them knew that all of this was inseparable from the 'Mysterious Organization.'

Without those technologies, even the maiden flight of the J-20 would probably have to wait several years, instead of being on the verge of its first flight now.

Not to mention the H-20 and the C919 large civilian aircraft, which were scheduled for more than ten years later in Da Xia's plans. It was unknown when they would actually be developed.

"You say... can they get those high-end processing equipment technologies?" Zheng Lixing hesitated slightly.

"I don't know, but I hope they succeed." Zhang Yuli sighed deeply after a moment of contemplation. "This is simply too important for our Da Xia."

For Da Xia's development, it was hard to say whether the J-20 was more important or this high-end processing equipment was more crucial.

But in terms of R&D difficulty, Zhang Yuli was confident that without the help of the 'Mysterious Organization,' they could develop and achieve the maiden flight of the J-20 within a few years.

However, when could they develop domestic ultra-high-end industrial equipment? Technologies like 'ultra-precision CNC machine tool processing center technology' and 'vacuum forging machine' would likely take another ten years or even longer to break through the layers of foreign blockade.

And these equipment are extremely important for Da Xia's manufacturing transformation. To get involved in high-end manufacturing such as the automotive industry, energy sector, and chip sector, these must be overcome.

If the Mysterious Organization couldn't get these technologies, Da Xia would have to grit its teeth and get them all done!

Just as this eerie silence spread.

Suddenly, a series of urgent alerts rang out inside the room.

Zheng Lixing's face was full of surprise: "Is it the Mysterious Organization? They have news so quickly?"

Zhang Yuli, sitting at the table, didn't have time to reply, only unlocking the system at the fastest speed.

A moment later, a brand new email appeared before them in the mail backend system.

We have successfully acquired the technology. Please check if this precision processing equipment technology meets your requirements? Please reply upon receipt.

'Received, all secure, Da Xia can receive emails at any time.'

Zhang Yuli didn't have time to think much, his fingers flying across the keyboard to type out a line of text.

"They got it so quickly? What kind of processing technology could it be?"

Zheng Lixing nervously tugged at his beloved beard: "Even high-precision processing technology would be fine; it could solve our urgent needs right now."

He didn't even dare to hope that it was industrial equipment for ultra-precision processing; that seemed too far-fetched.

In this tense atmosphere.

A few minutes later, countless attached compressed packages appeared in the email backend once again.

And at the very top, a large line of text was boldly written.

HPS-120 B Horizontal Five-Axis Gantry Boring and Milling Ultra-Precision Machining Center Technology Full Set of Design Drawings.

Micron-level Automatic Tool Setter Technology Detailed Reference.

Research and Development Drawings and Material Composition for Drives, Encoders, and Spindle Motors.

CNC Control System Program Code and Programming Methods.

.

Looking at the astonishing scene before them, both men were immersed in a daze.

"HPS-120 B type... Five-axis gantry boring and milling machining center?" Zhang Yuli's eyes widened, staring intently at these words.

This unusually familiar line of text, like a nightmare, had haunted him for how many years?

And now it just appeared so abruptly!? This felt somewhat unreal.

"Hiss... isn't this model the ultra-high precision machine tool from SNK Company? They managed to get even this?" Zheng Lixing gasped, his scalp tingling with numbness!

Isn't this Neon's technology? And this isn't just ordinary high-precision machining tool technology.

This ultra-precision five-axis CNC center technology, to describe it in one sentence, is simply Neon's national treasure-level technology.

"This Mysterious Organization is too terrifying, isn't it?"

So, you not only managed to get Eagleland's technology but also didn't spare the little devils' either, huh?
