60: Section 60

"Fine."

Lin Bai thought about it; it seemed fine.

He decided not to make things difficult for her.

He opened the three boxes.

Two small sweeping robots, just like the disc-shaped machine boxes Lin Bai was familiar with.

The third one was larger, a multi-functional square machine with wheels, standing nearly half a meter tall. This robot could even help him clean the room, equipped with auxiliary mechanical arms on both sides.

These three high-tech creations were what Lin Bai intended to use to replace a maid to help him clean his room.

"These high-tech gadgets are being used for the first time. If I can't read the manual, I wouldn't dare to use them randomly. Forget it, I'll just ask customer service to send a video tutorial later."

Li Yaoyao helped Lin Bai move the somewhat heavy machines out.

Looking at the information papers that Lin Bai had discarded to the side, Li Yaoyao said rather impatiently: "Lin Bai, you don't want these... manuals either, right? I'll help you take them away and throw them out."

"Sure."

Lin Bai was eager for someone to help him take away some of the clutter in his house.

He put the three large boxes from this delivery together with the previous small boxes and let Li Yaoyao take them all away.

"Thanks for helping me bring up the express delivery. Do you want to grab a meal?"

"No, no, I'm still on duty. See you, Lin Bai~"

After speaking, Li Yaoyao slammed the door shut and left the villa with a pile of folded cardboard boxes.

Seeing this, Lin Bai couldn't help but feel amused.

"On duty, can't eat, but can take cardboard boxes back to the dormitory."

"Is the importance of cardboard boxes this high?"

"..."

Of course, Lin Bai just made a remark, then turned around and pressed the power button for the three sweeping robots.

【Ding... Machine connection successful!】

A voice came from the Bluetooth speaker in his room.

The 'ding' sound startled him, and for a moment, he thought the system had undergone an awakening.

When he went to the computer, it turned out that after the machines downstairs were turned on, they automatically connected to his computer, and even a three-story floor plan of the room popped up.

He could easily use the mouse to mark the cleaning area for the machine and automatically enable some very convenient functions.

"Huh? How did it automatically connect to the computer? Is it this smart?"

"Could it be because of the same network?"

"But I didn't connect this sweeping robot to the network..."

This left Lin Bai a bit confused.

What he didn't know was that this was actually because his machines had been enhanced, and their intelligence had improved in all aspects.

Of course, the most critical factor was not the sweeping robot, but the enhanced computer in front of him, whose functions were far more powerful than he imagined!

However, Lin Bai didn't think much about it, just assuming it was a built-in feature of these high-tech robots.

Seeing how easy it was to use, it saved him a lot of trouble.

...

On the other side.

After Li Yaoyao threw the cardboard boxes into a corner of the room, she immediately placed the three documents in her hand, consisting of over two hundred pages of photocopies, solemnly into a bulletproof safe with a very high security rating.

She brought them to the meeting room of the Special Decision Group at the first opportunity.

"Report, Chief, the materials have been brought!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

Chief Yun took the safe, and the others gathered around curiously, especially the Minister of Energy.

This was information closely related to him, and he was the first to squeeze to Chief Yun's side.

However, he was directly pushed away by the grumpy Academician Li.

"Zhang Songming, what are you in such a rush for? You only manage the energy department; you aren't responsible for managing energy. Even if you look at it, you won't understand these professional things."

The No. 4 Research Institute where Academician Li worked was specialized in researching the development and application of various resources.

The last rare earth resource project was taken from his research institute.

And this time, the combustible ice project was still one of the projects belonging to his research institute.

So he was the person most concerned about this document.

What's more, this time there were three whole documents!

Once obtained, it would be a leap forward for their combustible ice project!

You know, before this, they had only just achieved a breakthrough from zero to one on the combustible ice project.

And if they got this information, they could immediately improve from one to ten, or even a hundred!

He couldn't help but care about the content.

"Oh, okay, okay, Old Li, you read it carefully. Whether I can stand tall in the department also depends on whether you can break through this technical bottleneck this time."

Minister Zhang Songming smiled, stepped aside, but his eyes kept glancing in this direction.

Chief Yun didn't say much; everyone present had seen Lin Bai's special abilities many times.

They didn't doubt at all whether the content inside would be improved.

All everyone cared about was wanting to know how much these definitely improved materials had improved, and to what extent they had reached.

Click—

The box opened, and the three documents were placed separately.

Academician Li reached out impatiently to take one of them to check.

"This is... the mining method for combustible ice..."

"Eh? Chemical reagent injection mining method? The name is the same as the mining method of the Lighthouse Country?"

As this exclamation from Academician Li came out, everyone else present was shocked.

"What!?"

"This technology is the same as the one published by the Lighthouse Country two days ago?"

"Has their technological breakthrough reached this level?"

"Could it be that they reached the level that Lin Bai can improve through their own research?"

"Or maybe it's because our method is too backward, so even after improvement, it only barely reached the level of the Lighthouse Country?"

Everyone frowned.

If the technology that had gone through such a big effort to be improved was exactly the same as the opponent's, then they could only cope with the opponent in this incident and could not make an effective counterattack.

Although this was their original goal, they were still somewhat unwilling to settle for just that.

"In that case, if we keep this document and put it in again next time Lin Bai shops online, will it become more advanced?"

"Hmm... we have thought about this idea before."

"But after all, we don't know the upper limit of Lin Bai's ability and the trigger method, and we don't know if such repeated things can be improved again."

"And Lin Bai doesn't shop online very often, so we can't easily try and waste the opportunity."

"Sigh... what should we do..."

Just when everyone was a bit worried, Academician Li let out an even more surprised sound.

"No!!!"

"The name is the same, but the content is definitely not the same!!!"

Academician Li's voice even carried a tremor of excitement.

Others couldn't see the content on the paper, or even if they saw it, they couldn't understand the details.

Hearing him say this, they could only anxiously ask.

"What exactly is it, Old Li!"

"Is it good or bad?"

"Give us an answer, don't just shout!"

"..."

Academician Li ignored the urging of the others, laughed a few times, and said directly: "Undoubtedly, this is the most advanced combustible ice development method in the world today!"

"The name is the same because the basic content is the same; this improved method also involves injecting chemical reagents."

"The key lies in this chemical reagent; the document gives a detailed preparation scheme."

"Even the sources needed for the chemical reagents are detailed here. According to the plan, any university chemistry laboratory can complete it directly. Although the cost is not cheap, it is completely within an acceptable range!"

"The most important point is—"

"It clearly explains that this chemical reagent is the only one that will not produce any harmful reactions during the reaction process with combustible ice, nor will it affect the combustible ice itself, causing losses."

"More importantly, this is the only chemical reagent that will not release harmful substances that are hazardous to the environment!"

When this was said, everyone was surprised by the advanced nature of this material.

Although others did not participate in the combustible ice project themselves, they still had some basic understanding.

Then, after Academician Li explained it a little more, everyone understood the importance of it...

That is, during the process of mining combustible ice, if not handled well, it will release a large amount of carbon dioxide, which has a great impact on the environment.

If the chemical reagent mining method is used, the biggest problem is the harm of the chemical reagents to the ocean.
