239: Special invitations from the military, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Ministry of State Security

A living First-Class Merit!

Goodness, he had never seen two in his life.

Inside the office.

The Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Captain responsible for the rescue and disaster relief of the Wenchuan Great Earthquake were both browsing the latest reports on their phones.

They were both over forty years old and came from the military, so their ranks and authority were not low!

They understood too well the value of a First-Class Merit!

If it were wartime, being brave and resourceful, and repeatedly achieving extraordinary feats, might offer a chance to earn this honor. However, after the founding of the nation, the opportunities and difficulty of earning merits have skyrocketed.

Sometimes, it's not just about ability to earn this credit!

The right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable!

Just like the Wenchuan Great Earthquake that occurred this time.

If it weren't for a geological disaster rarely seen in decades, causing such a severe rescue situation.

If it weren't for the dozen or so rescue experts at the scene being at their wits' end.

If it weren't for Su Yu happening to research hex technology.

If it weren't for him deciding to participate in the final rescue.

If it weren't for this rescue mission being broadcast live by major media and television stations.

Perhaps such a thing would never have fallen upon him, let alone him ultimately succeeding in earning merit!

"Old Huang, this is truly a treasure!"

"Putting everything else aside. Our military lacks precisely this kind of new talent! He understands technology, has a sense of responsibility, and gets things done! Most importantly, he's only in his early twenties! If such a young person can be properly nurtured in the military, his future is limitless!"

After concluding the final scene clearance yesterday, the two withdrew to Chuan City with Su Yu.

The reconstruction work after the disaster didn't require them, and the higher-ups had sent special personnel to guide the scene, so the two were naturally happy to be at leisure.

However, the First-Class Merit awarded by the military for this disaster relief mission truly made them a little envious.

It was not surprising for the military to issue merit medals.

But a First-Class Merit! It was a First-Class Merit issued by the military!!

As old hands who had been in the military for many years, they naturally understood the meaning behind this.

Especially ten minutes ago, the old leader had specifically called, praising Su Yu profusely in every word.

If they still didn't understand what this meant, they wouldn't need to continue sitting in this position.

"Captain Huang, Captain Zhao, Mr. Su is awake!"

The nurse's excited voice came from outside the office door.

Hearing this, the two exchanged glances and simultaneously stood up with a 'whoosh'.

The Rescue Captain smiled, "Let's go, Old Huang, to see the living First-Class Merit?"

The Deputy Captain's eyes also gleamed with a strange light, "Let's go see! And see if we can complete the task the old leader assigned us."

...As the focus of public attention, the news of Su Yu's awakening spread throughout various circles immediately.

Besides the military, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which had been closely following hex technology, also received the news immediately.

"Academician Zhang, Academician Song! The latest news from the hospital is that Su Yu is awake!"

"That's right, it's the young man who researched and created the bio-modified Mosquito and Ant!"

"He's finally awake!"

Academician Zhang, with his graying hair and thick glasses, felt greatly relieved upon hearing the news.

He leaned on his cane and tremblingly rose from his chair.

"Quick, immediately have our people who arrived at the scene in advance enter the hospital! No matter the cost, we must first invite him to the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"Whether it's the dissection techniques for insects or the modification techniques for technological organs, these are all things worth our in-depth research! And those two large boxes of bio-technology must not be overlooked! Be sure to bring them back!"

"Understood, Academician Zhang! I will immediately have Director Liu at the scene meet with Su Yu!"

...National Security Command Center.

A text message was silently sent to Su Yu's phone.

"Little Brother Su, congratulations! You've truly accomplished a great feat this time. It wasn't in vain that I specifically contacted my superior to help you open a green channel. If there had been any delay on the way, you might have missed the optimal rescue time!"

The text message was from an unfamiliar phone number that Su Yu had not saved.

However, judging by the tone in the message, Su Yu knew without guessing that it must be Wolf Tooth Potato Uncle.

He never expected that the street vendor uncle who had been hiding by his side had such an extraordinary identity! He had never noticed anything unusual before today.

Through various past events, coupled with the many Popular Science (science popularization) given to him by viewers in the live broadcast room, Su Yu had vaguely guessed Wolf Tooth Potato Uncle's true identity!

National Security!

That's right.

Besides this special agency, who else would have the authority to allow a high-speed train to carry passengers in violation of regulations!

Besides this agency, who else could, with a few words, dispatch an armed helicopter from an urgent disaster area for escort?

As the uncle had sent him a message, Su Yu immediately replied.

"Actually, I think the person who should be most thanked is you, Uncle!"

"If it weren't for you, perhaps everything everyone saw later wouldn't have happened."

When Su Yu said this, it was from the bottom of his heart.

Because Wolf Fang Uncle's identity as National Security had indeed given him a lot of help.

On the other end of the phone, Wolf Tooth Potato Uncle, wearing a baseball cap, opened his text message inbox. While he was just exchanging pleasantries with Su Yu, a new task had already been sent to his phone.

The task assigned to him by his superior was only a short sentence.

"Find a way to win him over. He is of great significance to our National Security and must not be allowed to fall into the hands of others!"

Wolf Tooth Potato Uncle scratched his head in annoyance.

Hiss! Goodness.

Indeed, what he feared came true?

He felt that the new task given to him by his superior was practically snatching food from a tiger's mouth!

Although he was a member of National Security, the identity of National Security was not omnipotent in this world! To some extent, his power was great. But to some extent, he was also the least competitive person.

"Little Brother Su, since you're awake, I won't waste any more words and will tell you directly."

"Our leaders have taken notice of your abilities! Do you have time to meet with him in the next two days?"

"National Security has many projects that you would be very interested in."

"Perhaps we can cooperate further? After all, we are old acquaintances!"

When Su Yu saw the text message, he was momentarily dazed.

What? Although he had some psychological preparation, this sudden invitation still caught him off guard.

People from National Security actually invited him to cooperate?!

This?!

Is it real or fake?!
