66: Section 66

However, the President of Lighthouse Country certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch Huaguo ignore his accusations and enter the large-scale exploitation phase.

He immediately exerted pressure through the United Nations, demanding that Huaguo cooperate with the investigation!

At the same time, Lighthouse Country also employed the tactic of pulling the firewood from under the cauldron.

They proactively presented the chemical reagent they possessed, publicizing that Huaguo had stolen this very reagent from them.

They demanded that the International Court of Justice sanction Huaguo.

At the very least, Huaguo needed to pay substantial compensation to Lighthouse Country!

Of course, the premise was confirmation that the chemical reagents used by both sides were indeed identical.

Huaguo would indeed be put in a disadvantageous position.

Because theoretically, Lighthouse Country was the first to propose the chemical reagent injection extraction method, and their laboratory had already been destroyed, and the data burned.

Logically speaking, only Professor Ganif himself knew the formula.

If the chemical reagents from both sides were truly detected as identical, Huaguo would be directly judged to have committed theft.

The President waited smugly for the official response from Huaguo.

However.

When the Huaguo officials saw this demand, the internal staff couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Heh heh, Old Yun, your plan worked perfectly. You successfully lured this old guy in."

The Military Region Leader couldn't help but clap Chief Yun on the shoulder and laugh heartily.

Everyone else also praised him one after another.

"Old Yun's move was truly brilliant; it directly caused the Lighthouse Country President to misunderstand."

"However, this is also them judging a gentleman's motives by their own mean standards. We didn't even pursue the matter of them destroying their own laboratory!"

"The people of Lighthouse Country, both internally and externally, are now almost unanimous in believing that the chemical reagent we used was stolen from their laboratory."

"Almost no one believes we developed it ourselves!"

"But the good news is that the public in our own country trusts us immensely. This time, hardly anyone is speaking out against us."

"This is all thanks to Lin Bai!"

"If he hadn't brought us such immense national power, we wouldn't have been able to significantly boost the public's cohesion in such a short time!"

Chief Yun also smiled frankly and nodded.

He showed no arrogance regarding his achievements, secretly recording all these honors belonging to Lin Bai as top-secret files.

For the day when Lin Bai's abilities might disappear, or when they inevitably have to be exposed.

These honors would directly revert to Lin Bai himself.

Based on his current achievements, he believed that even applying for Captain-level honors for Lin Bai would pass easily!

"Right, we are different from Lighthouse Country!"

"We are upright and innocent. Since they want to investigate, let them investigate!"

After the highest-level conference room once again approved the motion.

Before Lighthouse Country and its follower nations could apply pressure, Huaguo proactively welcomed the United Nations investigation special team members to come and conduct tests.

Of course.

The so-called inspection was not about demanding the detailed formula for the chemical reagent.

Rather, it was to directly examine the reagent's reaction in the ocean.

They only needed to verify that no harmful substances were released during use.

After all, one cannot forcibly obtain another nation's secrets under the guise of an investigation.

It was only because Lighthouse Country had a guilty conscience that they destroyed everything related to it.

As for Huaguo, they proactively welcomed everyone's arrival.

Of course, the first thing they came to do was not to directly inspect the chemical reagent's reaction process in the ocean.

But rather—

To check whether Huaguo's chemical reagent and Lighthouse Country's chemical reagent were identical!?

This was a matter of particular concern to the whole world, or rather, to Lighthouse Country!

The President directly ordered Professor Ganif to personally bring the chemical reagent, accompanied by numerous media outlets, preparing to immediately report on Huaguo stealing another nation's secrets, making it impossible for Huaguo to evade.

"Welcome everyone. Isn't this Professor Ganif? I heard you were injured in a lab explosion a few days ago, but you look perfectly fine now."

Academician Li, who had taken charge of the combustible ice project, also served as the representative for Huaguo.

However, given his personality and temperament, he naturally couldn't stand these petty people from Lighthouse Country, so he immediately spoke up to mock them subtly about destroying their own laboratory.

Professor Ganif's face showed a hint of anger.

Hmph, if it weren't for you Huaguo people, why would I need to pretend to be injured in an explosion to evade investigation?

But once we find evidence that you stole my data, I will definitely make Huaguo pay me substantial compensation!

Professor Ganif resented Academician Li internally, gave a cold laugh, and said nothing more.

He directly carried the box containing the chemical reagent in his hand and stepped forward.

"What you people in Huaguo have done, you know in your hearts."

"If you're smart, apologize publicly now and compensate us with three billion Lighthouse Coins, and our great Lighthouse Country might forgive your mistakes committed out of ignorance."

Ha... Academician Li nearly burst out laughing.

But worrying that scaring the other party now might push them to destroy the chemical reagent in their hands, leaving Huaguo without evidence to accuse them.

So Academician Li said no more, simply cooperating fully by handing over Huaguo's self-developed chemical reagent to the United Nations special investigators.

These investigators were researchers from multiple countries, top experts in the field of chemistry.

This entire process was handed over to them for identification, with no personnel from either Huaguo or Lighthouse Country participating, ensuring fairness.

Coupled with the live broadcast by media reporters throughout the process, fraud was virtually impossible.

And the result was released in just three hours!

Looking at the report in his hand.

The supremely confident Professor Ganif was dumbfounded—

[Upon identification, the similarity between the chemical reagents used by both parties does not exceed 13.333%. There is no evidence of formula theft!]

...Chapter 70: Lin's! Lin's again?! The world is stunned!!

Chapter 70: Lin's! Lin's again?! The world is stunned!!

Wait!!??

After hearing the investigation member holding the report publicly announce the findings.

Lighthouse Country's representative was completely stunned.

Professor Ganif, in disbelief, snatched the report from the investigator's hand and looked at it.

The result showed that it was indeed true: Huaguo's chemical reagent was completely different from the one he had created!

Half of the thirteen percent similarity was merely an aqueous solution, and the most crucial core ingredients were entirely different.

No matter how much he tried to twist the facts, he couldn't possibly argue that the opponent's formula originated from his own.

"Th-this is impossible?"

"Huaguo actually researched a brand-new formula themselves??"

Looking at the slightly pale Professor Ganif.

Even ordinary netizens watching the live broadcast, no matter how confused they were initially, now understood.

This time, it was Lighthouse Country acting up again!

"Hahahaha, I knew it! How could Huaguo possibly steal Lighthouse Country's data?"

"Exactly!"

"Just now, seeing that look of certainty on Ganif's face made me worry for a second, but now it's fine, I can relax!"

"LOL, what is Lighthouse Country doing with all its free time?"

"I am truly 'shuan Q' (thank you), for letting me witness such a spectacular drama."

"Dying of laughter! Professor Ganif kept claiming this chemical reagent was their patent and wanted us to compensate him billions; he's truly become an international joke!"

"It's just a chemical reagent for extracting combustible ice. We've even developed photolithography machines below one nanometer, which were considered a forbidden zone of science. How could we not develop this reagent?"

"Exactly! Even if we couldn't develop it right now, we wouldn't need to steal theirs, especially since theirs is harmful!"

"I almost forgot what the person above said! Lighthouse Country's reagent is harmful!"

"They even destroyed their own experiments earlier to avoid investigation!"

"This time, with Professor Ganif bringing their chemical reagent here, hasn't he just handed the evidence over to us, hahaha!"

"Hahaha, this is truly a case of the thief crying 'stop thief.' To frame Huaguo, they handed over a knife that would wound themselves."

"It seems Lighthouse Country has truly been pushed into a corner, making so many irrational policies and actions recently."

"After all, they are the land of the free, aren't they? They can do whatever they want (dog head emoji)."

"Quickly investigate him! Quickly investigate him!"

"We absolutely cannot let him go this time!"

...Of course, since netizens thought of this, the Huaguo officials naturally wouldn't overlook this golden opportunity either.
