4: Chapter 4: You were made a national treasure, but all you want is to be a stud?

Lin Yun looked at Team Leader Wang Li, his face still maintaining that calm expression.

He nodded. "Okay, when do we leave?"

Team Leader Wang Li's throat felt a bit dry; she had never spoken in such a solemn tone to a young man who looked like a college student. "Now, immediately, right away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the reception room was pushed open from the outside.

Those who entered were no longer ordinary security personnel, but two soldiers wearing black combat uniforms with cold expressions, exuding a dense aura of iron and blood. The armbands on their chests were something Team Leader Wang Li had only seen in internal documents—the Dragon Shield Special Forces!

This was the ace unit responsible for protecting the country's highest-level figures and secrets!

Team Leader Wang Li's heart constricted suddenly.

She had thought she had overestimated the importance of these blueprints enough, but now it seemed she had still underestimated them.

"Comrade Lin Yun, please come with us." One of the special operations members made a "please" gesture to Lin Yun; though his tone was polite, his attitude brooked no refusal.

Lin Yun rose calmly and followed them out.

Team Leader Wang Li followed closely behind, but was blocked by the other team member.

"Team Leader Wang, your mission is complete. We will take full control of subsequent matters; you are aware of the relevant confidentiality regulations."

"I understand." Team Leader Wang Li nodded firmly, watching Lin Yun's back disappear at the end of the corridor.

She knew that from today on, this young man named Lin Yun and his absurd "child-bearing plan" would become the highest-level secret of the Dragon Kingdom, and she had only pulled back a corner of this earth-shattering prelude.

...

Walking out of the main gate of the Municipal National Security Bureau, the outside was already completely different.

The original street had been completely cleared, with an armed police officer standing guard every ten meters. Under the night sky, a dozen black Hongqi sedans and military SUVs formed a massive motorcade, parked silently by the roadside, their flashing warning lights staining the night with a chilling red and blue.

At the center of the motorcade was a military helicopter with its engine already started, its rotors whipping up a huge airflow in the night wind!

"Comrade Lin Yun, please."

Lin Yun said nothing more, bending down to board the helicopter.

Amidst the deafening roar, the helicopter took off and quickly disappeared into the night of Jiang City.

Inside the cabin, Lin Yun looked at the city lights receding rapidly outside the window, his heart completely unruffled.

He knew all of this was just an appetizer.

The truly grand scenes were still to come.

He closed his eyes and began to organize another newbie reward given by the system in his mind—the god-level physique strengthening serum.

[god-level physique strengthening serum: Comprehensively optimizes the user's genetic sequence, enhances cell activity, strengthens bone and muscle density, and significantly improves neural reaction speed, strength, endurance, and metabolic capacity, bringing their physical fitness to the theoretical peak of the current human species. No side effects.]

"System, use it," Lin Yun thought to himself.

The next second, a gentle yet domineering heat current appeared out of thin air in his limbs and bones!

This heat current was like billions of tiny ants drilling into every cell of his body, performing the deepest level of modification. He could feel his bones letting out faint groans and his muscle fibers being constantly torn and restructured, becoming tougher and more powerful. A wave of coolness washed over his brain, and his thoughts, which had been somewhat groggy from staying up late, instantly became incredibly clear, as if the speed of the entire world had slowed down.

The entire process took only a dozen seconds.

When he opened his eyes again, the world was completely different.

The tiny pores on the face of the special operations member opposite him, the floating dust in the cabin air, and every minute noise from the distant engine were all clearly presented in his perception.

He clenched his fist, and an unprecedented sense of powerful strength surged from deep within his body.

"Is this... the peak human physique?"

Lin Yun took a deep breath; this powerful body was undoubtedly the most solid guarantee for his future grand blueprint of "many children, many blessings."

...

Two hours later, the helicopter landed at a military airport in the western suburbs of the Capital that was not open to the public.

On the airfield, a motorcade was already waiting.

Lin Yun was taken directly onto a black Hongqi sedan with a massive interior space and windows made of special bulletproof material.

The car traveled unimpeded all the way, driving directly into an underground base that didn't even exist on the map.

Passing through several heavy alloy gates, the car finally stopped in front of a massive, brightly lit conference room.

"Comrade Lin Yun, we've arrived. The leaders are waiting for you inside."

Lin Yun pushed the door open and entered.

In the vast conference room sat a dozen people.

Every single one of them was a titan who could make a certain field in the Dragon Kingdom shake with just a stomp of their foot!

Sitting in the main seat was an elderly man with a lean face and white hair, but his back was straight and his eyes were as calm as the sea.

Academician Li Weiguo, whom he had seen in the video yesterday, was sitting to the old man's left. At this moment, this national-treasure-level scientist was staring intently at Lin Yun with a look as if he were seeing an alien, his eyes a mix of excitement, inquiry, and fervor.

"You are Lin Yun?" The old man in the main seat spoke; his voice wasn't loud, but it carried the majesty of someone long in a high position.

"It is I. Hello, Chief." Lin Yun nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Young comrade, sit." The old man pointed to the seat opposite him. "My surname is Chen. Our time is very tight, so let's not beat around the bush."

Old Chen gently placed the black USB drive on the table.

"The contents in here have been preliminarily verified by Academician Li and his team. Theoretically, it is feasible, and... it is epoch-making."

As soon as he finished speaking, the breathing of all the experts in the conference room grew a bit heavier.

"However," Old Chen's tone shifted, and his gaze became sharp, "a set of blueprints doesn't explain the source. We want to know where these things came from."

This was the core question.

Everyone stared at Lin Yun, waiting for his answer.

Lin Yun met everyone's gaze calmly and spoke the explanation he had already prepared: "Old Chen, I cannot explain its source. You can understand it as me having received an 'inspiration,' a kind of ability that allows me to see future technology."

This explanation was almost metaphysical, but it was the only explanation.

"Inspiration?" An expert wearing gold-rimmed glasses couldn't help but sneer. "Young man, are you telling us a fairy tale? Science is rigorous!"

Lin Yun looked at him. "Is rigorous science simply defining phenomena that cannot be understood as myths?"

"You!" The expert's face turned red with frustration.

"Enough." Old Chen raised his hand to stop the argument. He looked at Lin Yun. "Words alone are no proof. Since you say you 'see' it, we have a few questions we'd like to ask this 'prophet' of ours."

This was the real test!

Academician Li Weiguo couldn't wait and stood up, pointing to a complex structural diagram on the large screen behind him—it was the core engine part of the 'Kunlun' engine.

"Comrade Lin Yun! We studied overnight and found that in your design, the cooling method for the high-pressure turbine disk uses a 'composite impact-effusion' cooling channel that we've never seen before. This design is genius, but through computer simulations, we found that its processing precision requirements have already exceeded the limits of the world's most advanced five-axis machine tools! How do you solve this problem?"

As soon as this question was asked, all the aero-engine experts pricked up their ears.

This was exactly the biggest problem they had discussed all night and couldn't solve! The blueprints were perfect, but if they couldn't be built, they were just scrap paper!

Everyone's gaze focused on Lin Yun.

Lin Yun walked to the screen, and without even needing a draft, he picked up a marker and quickly drew a new structure next to the problem Academician Li Weiguo had marked, labeling a series of dizzying parameters.

"Old Li, your line of thinking is wrong. You're thinking about how to improve the machine tool's processing precision to adapt to the part. The correct approach is to change the part's structure to adapt to existing processing techniques."

"Look, just by adding a 0.5mm turbulator rib here and changing the inclination angle of the effusion holes from 30 degrees to 32.5 degrees, you can reduce the processing tolerance requirements by a full order of magnitude without sacrificing cooling efficiency! This way, the best DMG machine tools currently available in the country will be perfectly capable!"

He drew as he spoke.

The whole process was seamless, as if this knowledge had long been etched into his very bones.

When he finished the last stroke, the entire conference room was dead silent.

Academician Li Weiguo stared blankly at the modified design on the screen, looking as if he had been struck by lightning!

"That's it... that's it! Why didn't I think of that! Turbulator ribs! Changing the inclination! This... this is simply a stroke of genius!"

He rushed to the screen, his hands stroking the lines Lin Yun had drawn, his whole body trembling with excitement.

"Genius! An absolute genius! It's solved! Our biggest technical hurdle was solved by him in just a few strokes!"

The conference room erupted!

The other experts crowded around, looking at that simple yet incredibly ingenious modification, their faces filled with shock and wild joy.

If the previous blueprints had shocked them,

then this scene of Lin Yun solving a core technical problem by hand made them feel... fear!

This wasn't something that could be done by "stealing" or "finding" it!

This meant that the young man before them had a god-like understanding and control over this technology that surpassed the era!

Old Chen sat in his place, watching Lin Yun, who was surrounded by a group of national-treasure experts and answering their questions fluently; his normally calm face finally showed emotion.

He knew the Dragon Kingdom... had struck gold!

It was unknown how much time passed before this most bizarre "academic seminar" in the history of the Dragon Kingdom's technology came to an end.

Lin Yun answered all the hundreds of extremely tricky questions raised by the experts, from materials science to aerodynamics, from software coding to mechanical manufacturing, without a single error.

By the end, the national-treasure academicians, whose average age exceeded sixty, looked at Lin Yun as if they were looking at their own grandmaster.

The conference room fell quiet once again.

Only Old Chen and Lin Yun remained.

"Lin Yun." Old Chen's voice no longer held its initial scrutiny, gaining a hint of warmth. "Now, I believe you."

He said solemnly: "The country thanks you! The people thank you! On behalf of the highest levels of the Dragon Kingdom, I guarantee you that from now on, your safety is the Dragon Kingdom's highest interest! Whatever resources you need, whatever support you require, the country will go all out to satisfy you!"

It was here.

Lin Yun knew the most critical moment had arrived.

He looked at Old Chen and said with an incredibly serious expression: "Old Chen, I don't need money, and I don't need power."

"I came here and offered all of this with only one goal from beginning to end."

He took a deep breath and, meeting Old Chen's gaze, threw out the request that was enough to collapse the worldview of the entire Dragon Kingdom leadership, word by word, with absolute clarity.

"My ability needs to be continuously unlocked through the reproduction of offspring."

"The more children I have and the higher their bloodline potential, the more advanced the technology I can produce."

"Therefore, I apply... for the country to help me find partners!"

"For the future of the Dragon Kingdom, I, Lin Yun, volunteer..."

"To have children for the country!"

"..."

The warm smile on Old Chen's face froze.

He was a veteran of a hundred battles and had seen countless great storms, but today, this twenty-two-year-old young man had made a request in the most serious tone that caused even his brain to stall.

When they wanted him to be a national treasure, he made excuses.

As it turned out... his true ideal was to be a stallion? And... a patriotic one at that?

Old Chen was silent for a full minute.

He slowly stood up, walked to Lin Yun, reached out, and heavily patted his shoulder.

Then, he turned around and gave an order to the secretary at the door that shook the entire base.

"Xiao Zhang, pass this down: immediately establish the 'Human Future Continuation and Civilization Leap Guarantee Plan' special action group. I will personally serve as the group leader."

"The first task: immediately, with the highest priority, screen for eligible, clean-background, genetically excellent, and patriotic female candidates of the appropriate age nationwide!"

"Take all the 'academy beauties' from the Academy of Sciences, the 'military beauties' from the military regions, and the 'campus beauties' from the major universities—list every single one of them!"

"Tell them that there is now a supreme opportunity to contribute to the country!"
