106: Section 106

"This can almost be said to be the biggest crisis since the founding of the nation, right?"

...

Facing the increasing pressure from Lighthouse Country.

Coupled with the sudden decline of various industries across the entire country, the official channels also went silent, only occasionally speaking out to condemn Lighthouse Country's hegemonic actions.

However, condemnation without corresponding military strength is nothing more than just talk.

Even if they speak, others won't stop, and might even mock the Huaguo officials for only spouting empty words and not daring to act.

Even military defenses began to gradually retract, with orders issued to absolutely avoid unnecessary conflicts.

As a result, it appeared to the Huaguo populace that Huaguo was scared and began to show an attitude of submission to the outside world, no longer daring to respond to Lighthouse Country with the same strong stance as before.

Because of this, even though the impact on people's daily lives wasn't very significant yet.

Everyone inevitably chatted about Lighthouse Country's military exercises after meals.

As a result, with one person expressing worry and another fear, everyone gradually began to feel alarmed.

Although Lighthouse Country's ocean-going fleet appeared to be moving very slowly, everyone in the world knew its destination was clearly and explicitly Huaguo!

However.

At this time, not only were the people anxious.

The officials were also quite anxious.

Yanjing, Headquarters Building.

At today's routine meeting, Chief Yun once again received a progress report from Tian Xialong.

Although it wasn't slow.

However, seeing the progress was less than three percent, all the leaders present were quite anxious.

"Old Yun, General Tian said that their biggest problem right now is needing to conquer some special materials. This is currently the issue that's really dragging down the progress."

"Because the space-air aircraft carrier needs to bear greater pressure, conventional materials cannot be used for its construction."

"Although the manual specifies the required strength of the materials, the biggest problem now is that they can't figure out how to synthesize this completely new special material."

"The project team has already formed a small squad to try one by one, but it will still take some time."

As the problems in this project report were presented, the leaders present could only sigh.

All they could provide was support in terms of manpower, material resources, and finances.

The contraction of the entire Huaguo industrial chain was actually to concentrate all manpower and material resources, to distribute this space-air aircraft carrier project to others for collaborative completion.

All the simple manufacturing was given to domestic industries in the form of orders.

However, these manufactured items naturally could not be leaked, so to the outside world, it really looked as if the industrial chain was forced to contract due to a funding shortage.

After providing funds, manpower, and material resources, the rest could only be pushed forward by the project team itself.

Chief Yun pinched his brow.

However, he suddenly thought of a question.

"Didn't Lin Bai also provide us with specially synthesized steel plates after processing before?"

"That Lin's Fusion Power project!"

Isn't the current problem precisely about the manufacturing materials?

If it relies on Lin Bai... "But last time, it was just because Lin Bai happened to want to renovate his room, and by coincidence, he helped us!"

"Should we reveal his ability to him, and then let him consciously buy them?"

"No, we still can't be sure if this method will cause the ability to disappear. Better safe than sorry!"

If the ability is still there, even if it's troublesome to trigger, there will always be a way.

But if they make the ability disappear, then there will truly be nothing they can do!

"How about... we have Lin Bai renovate his home again?"

"For example."

"A kitchen fire, burning many pieces of furniture and walls, and then he has to buy materials to repair it?"

Hiss—

As one leader murmured a suggestion, the people around him couldn't help but gasp.

But, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Good heavens!

There's even a method like this!

Hmm, for the sake of Huaguo, this fire must be set!

...Chapter 93: For the space-air aircraft carrier, Lin Bai will have to suffer a bit first! Arson!!

Chapter 93: For the space-air aircraft carrier, Lin Bai will have to suffer a bit first! Arson!!

"Lin Bai, thank you for agreeing to come out with me~"

Li Yaoyao and Lin Bai walked out of the cinema.

As for the reason, it was, of course, to lure the tiger away from its mountain, or rather, to ensure Lin Bai's personal safety was absolutely not endangered.

Because she had received a very special mission.

She learned that the Special Decision Group needed to obtain more advanced composite materials to build this era-spanning aircraft carrier.

They had to use some means to give Lin Bai an opportunity to purchase some renovation materials.

Therefore, Chief Yun's mission to the National Security Bureau was to find an opportunity for a part of Lin Bai's villa to catch fire or be damaged.

This way, there would be a reason for Lin Bai to buy materials online for repairs, and they could obtain the materials from him for analysis and reproduction.

However, they only wanted to use Lin Bai's ability to help them overcome project difficulties.

But the absolute prerequisite for this mission was to ensure that Lin Bai was not harmed.

So, when executing the mission, it was essential to ensure Lin Bai was not at home.

Today, Director Chen's mission for Li Yaoyao was to lure the tiger away from its mountain.

And Li Yaoyao bought two movie tickets.

Then she found Lin Bai, saying it was a benefit for employees at the property management office, but since there were two tickets and she didn't have many friends, she had to ask Lin Bai.

Lin Bai figured he had nothing to do at home anyway, so he agreed to go out with Li Yaoyao.

However, after watching the movie and coming out, Lin Bai couldn't help but stretch his limbs, saying with a hint of fatigue, "As expected, cinema seats are still not very comfortable!"

"Next time if you want to watch any movie, just tell me, come directly to my villa!"

"I installed a big sofa in the home theater during the last renovation, we can even lie down together to watch, it's much more comfortable than the cinema."

"Lying down..."

Although she knew Lin Bai didn't mean it that way, Li Yaoyao still couldn't help but glare at him when she heard them lying down together to watch a movie.

Saying things like two people lying down together to watch a movie to a girl can easily be misunderstood... However, Li Yaoyao still gratefully said to Lin Bai, "Mm, then thank you~ This time it's mainly because the tickets were already bought... ah no, already delivered, it feels like a waste not to go out."

In Lin Bai's impression, Li Yaoyao had always been a rather frugal person.

So he didn't have any doubts about it.

After the movie, Li Yaoyao hadn't received the mission update yet, so she found a restaurant near the mall with Lin Bai, planning to order dinner and continue to stall for time... Meanwhile.

On the hilltop of the villa area, Director Chen personally led a team of Guo'an members to carry out this demolition mission.

What they had to do was to cause a small explosion in Lin Bai's kitchen, simultaneously triggering a fire.

But they couldn't cause too much damage, after all, Lin Bai was someone who disliked trouble.

They were, after all, asking for a favor, so they had to try their best not to affect Lin Bai's life.

That meant only damaging a few places that wouldn't affect his usual living arrangements, and also places that were easy to repair.

After their assessment, the most suitable places were the kitchen and dining room.

At least, damaging here wouldn't affect Lin Bai's sleep, and he could eat elsewhere in the living room or his bedroom.

Of course, to ensure it wouldn't burn too badly, they had already arranged for fire trucks to patrol nearby, so they could coincidentally arrive to extinguish the fire later.

"Sorry, Lin Bai, at this time, only you can help us!"

Director Chen murmured softly.

Then he ordered the people inside the house to set the fire.

However.

Thirty seconds after his order was given, the people inside didn't come out.

He could even faintly hear sounds of a struggle.

This made Director Chen worried.

Could there be others inside?

Could it be that the enemy had already discovered Lin Bai's identity and ability, and happened to come to deal with him?

Director Chen quickly pressed, "Xiao Zhang, what's happening inside? Why hasn't the fire started yet?"

"Director Chen, I lit it, but that sweeping robot suddenly pounced over to extinguish the fire! Now three sweeping robots are chasing and attacking me, can I fight back?"

???

Hearing this reply, Director Chen was stunned.
