5: Chapter 5, SSS-level Top Secret File! His codename is "Pangu"!

Elder Chen's voice echoed in the empty meeting room. Every word felt like a heavy hammer striking the nerves of Xiao Zhang, the secretary standing at the door.

Xiao Zhang had followed Elder Chen for half his life and considered himself someone who had seen it all. But today, he felt his worldview being completely overturned.

"The Human Future Continuation and Civilization Leap Guarantee Project"?

Screening eligible women nationwide with the highest priority?

The 'flowers' of the Academy of Sciences? The 'flowers' of the military districts? The 'flowers' of the universities?

Telling them this is a contribution to the nation?

Xiao Zhang's mind went blank. He opened his mouth, but not a single word came out. He even wondered if Elder Chen had suffered some kind of mental breakdown from the overnight meetings.

"Didn't you hear me clearly?" Elder Chen turned his head. His gaze was calm, but that unquestionable authority made Xiao Zhang shudder.

"I heard you! I'll get right on it!" Xiao Zhang snapped to attention, gave a military salute, and turned to leave quickly, his footsteps even a bit unsteady.

He understood that Elder Chen was not joking.

The top brain of this country had made a decision significant enough to go down in history, yet absurd to the extreme.

The meeting room door closed, leaving only Elder Chen and Lin Yun in the room once again.

"Comrade Lin Yun," Elder Chen sat down again. He looked at Lin Yun with deep eyes that no longer held scrutiny but a solemnity reserved for a strategic resource of equal rank. "Your existence, and the 'ability' you spoke of, will henceforth be Dragon Country's highest secret, SSS-level."

He paused and said, word by word, "This project's external code name is the 'Pangu Project.' It signifies the creation of a new world and a new era."

"As for you," Elder Chen tapped his finger lightly on the table, "your personal file will be permanently sealed. From today on, you have only one code name—'Pangu'."

Lin Yun's heart gave a heavy thud.

Pangu!

He knew very well the weight of this code name.

"I understand." Lin Yun nodded, his expression serious.

"Your safety will be directly handled by the 'Dragon Shield' special forces. Your daily life will enjoy the highest standard of treatment. Any scientific research resources you need—including independent laboratories, top-tier teams, and unlimited funding—the state will provide."

Elder Chen's words were flat, yet they revealed a determination to pour the entire nation's strength into this.

"The entire Dragon Country will become your strongest backing."

"And your task is only one." Elder Chen looked into his eyes. "Complete what you said—spread the seeds for the future of Dragon Country!"

Lin Yun took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed solemnly to Elder Chen.

"I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

This wasn't just for the system's rewards; it was for this country and for those suffocating years of being held back by others!

Just then, there was another knock on the meeting room door.

Secretary Xiao Zhang walked in, holding an encrypted military tablet, his expression complex.

In less than an hour, this terrifying war machine of a nation had already begun operating with high efficiency for the sake of Lin Yun's "lifelong matters."

"Elder Chen, according to your instructions, we have conducted a preliminary screening of women aged 20 to 28 nationwide through the supreme database in a very short amount of time."

Xiao Zhang's tone was somewhat dry as he operated the tablet, projecting files onto the large screen.

"We integrated 37 key indicators, including genetic health index, IQ level, educational background, political vetting, and family composition, to preliminarily select 100 optimal candidates."

On the large screen, photos and corresponding resumes flashed by rapidly.

There were valiant female pilots, elegant classical dancers, super-geniuses who had won gold and silver in international Olympiads, and powerful businesswomen managing tens of billions in assets...

Each one was a 'daughter of heaven' in the eyes of ordinary people, far out of reach.

And now, their photos and most private information were gathered here, becoming Lin Yun's "blind date list."

"This is only the first batch," Xiao Zhang added. "More detailed lists are still being generated."

Elder Chen nodded and turned his gaze to Lin Yun. "What is your opinion? Do you have a preferred type?"

Lin Yun's gaze swept across the screen. He wasn't attracted by those beautiful faces.

He was analyzing everyone's data with an almost cold, scientific-research-like gaze.

"System prompt: the higher the comprehensive quality of the partner, the greater the probability of birthing high-potential offspring. 'Quality' here shouldn't just be IQ and health; it might also include willpower, talent, and even a kind of... luck."

Lin Yun's mind raced.

He needed the strongest start! The first child had to be S-rank!

That way, he could directly produce a 'super weapon' like a 2nm lithography machine, thoroughly laying the foundation for the 'Pangu Project'!

His finger swiped lightly across the screen and stopped on a certain file.

It was a woman in a white lab coat, standing before a precision instrument.

In the photo, her face was cold and her features were as beautiful as a painting, yet she wore no expression. Her eyes were like bottomless cold pools, radiating a sense of aloofness that warned others not to approach.

Even from a static photo, one could feel her extreme rationality and focus.

[Name: Qin Zihan]

[Age: 25]

[Occupation: Associate Researcher, State Key Laboratory of Quantum Information, Dragon Country Academy of Sciences]

[Resume: Admitted to the Special Class for the Gifted Young at the University of Science and Technology of China at age 15; obtained a PhD in Quantum Physics from Princeton University at age 22. Recognized as the most gifted genius in the quantum field in Dragon Country in a century.]

[Notes: IQ test score of 185; recognized as the 'Iceberg Flower of the Academy' at the Dragon Academy of Sciences; no prior relationship history.]

"Her." Lin Yun's finger pointed at Qin Zihan's photo.

Elder Chen glanced at the file, a hint of approval appearing in his eyes.

Good eye.

He had heard of the name Qin Zihan. It wasn't just because of her talent, but also because of her family background—three generations of her family were national scholars!

Whether it was genes, IQ, or patriotism, she was impeccable.

"You're sure it's her?"

"Certain." Lin Yun nodded. "Her genetic sequence, intelligence level, and focus are the optimal choices. Probabilistically speaking, she is the best matrix for birthing an S-rank offspring."

Matrix...

Xiao Zhang's eye twitched when he heard that word.

He felt like he wasn't participating in a great project, but rather selecting experimental material for some mad scientific monster.

Elder Chen, however, didn't care about Lin Yun's choice of words at all. He just frowned slightly. "The candidate is excellent, but... the difficulty is also the highest."

He looked at Xiao Zhang, who immediately understood and pulled up another encrypted file on Qin Zihan.

"Comrade Qin Zihan is a pure researcher with an eccentric personality. Aside from her research, she is uninterested in everything else. Getting her to... participate in this project, I'm afraid she will be very resistant."

Xiao Zhang paused and added a key piece of information: "Furthermore, she is currently facing immense research pressure. The national-level key project she is leading, 'Long-range Quantum Key Distribution,' has hit a bottleneck in theoretical model construction and has been stalled for nearly half a year. The entire team is frantic over it."

The meeting room fell into a brief silence.

A scientific fanatic who was entirely devoted to research and didn't even have time to date.

Asking her to have a child for a man and a project?

It was simply a fantasy.

"If there's pressure and a bottleneck, it means there's a breakthrough point."

Lin Yun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

For the first time, a confident smile appeared on his face—the kind of smile that comes from being in total control.

He walked to the large screen, looked at Qin Zihan's cold face, and said something that left both Elder Chen and Xiao Zhang stunned on the spot.

"Bring me all of her research materials, calculation drafts, and experimental data."

Elder Chen was startled. "What are you going to do? That's quantum physics, the most cutting-edge field in the country..."

"I know." Lin Yun interrupted him, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable power.

"One hour."

Lin Yun held up one finger.

"I will help her solve that so-called 'bottleneck'."

"Consider it... my first betrothal gift to her."
