131: Chapter 131 A High-Stakes Gamble! The fate of the nation is staked on Lin Mo's destiny, the rise of a powerful China rests on his shoulders!
"Comrade Lin Mo, you have successfully achieved a breakthrough in Controlled Nuclear Fusion this time!"
"We have also long prepared your reward."
After settling other matters, Chief Designer Bai Yannian said with a smile.
"As mentioned to you before, the Chief Designer of China Military Industry equipment!"
"Are you satisfied with this position arrangement?"
Upon hearing this, the expression on Lin Mo's face changed.
He had thought before that he would definitely be able to reach the position of Chief Designer of military equipment in the future, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly!
Prior to this, although the Supreme Military Region had unconditionally understood and supported all his proposals and applications, they still had to go through several application procedures, and many matters were subject to invisible shackles.
If he could take on the position of Chief Designer of China Military Industry equipment, there would be no more constraints in the future, and he could fully implement his ideas!
Previously, the Supreme Military Region's attitude toward him could be described as "support," but now it had become "empowerment"!
Lin Mo's eyes gradually grew fervent as he suddenly understood the political considerations of the bigwigs.
They were too desperate!
They were desperate to see China truly rise as a powerful nation within their lifetime!
They were desperate to personally witness the great Chinese nation truly standing at the pinnacle among all nations!
And the many unbelievable miracles before had made them confirm time and again that Lin Mo, this peerless national scholar with China at heart, truly possessed this ability!
Therefore, they made a decision with great wisdom: regardless of age, regardless of seniority, regardless of influence, they gave him full trust, full support, and full empowerment, pinning the hope of China's rise as a powerful nation entirely on Lin Mo!
They were willingly shouldering the series of risks and consequences that would occur after he took power! Whether known or unknown!
This was a world-shaking gamble, betting that these miracles could continue!
"You, Lin Mo, have a violent cheat that needs recharging, right? Fine! We are going all-in with all of China's assets to recharge for you; go ahead and power it up to the max!"
Such earth-shattering courage fully reflected the foresight and wise decision-making of the top brass of the Supreme Military Region, and Lin Mo felt deeply impressed by it.
"Comrade Lin Mo, I believe you should be happy to see this division of labor, right?"
Watching the change in Lin Mo's expression on the video, Chief Designer Bai Yannian knew it was settled and continued to say with a smile.
"If you were really unwilling, that would be such a pity..."
"Wait, Chief Designer Bai!" Lin Mo put on a serious face.
"As a Chinese, since I have this ability, I should naturally take the rise of China as a powerful nation as my own responsibility!"
"For this position, I, Lin Mo, am duty-bound!"
Lin Mo's 180-degree turn in attitude left everyone somewhat stunned, and they burst into laughter.
This kid really knows how to play the part!
"Very good!" Seeing Lin Mo agree, Chief Designer Bai Yannian withdrew his smile, his expression becoming solemn: "Comrade Lin Mo!"
"This position arrangement is not only power and duty, but also a heavy responsibility!"
"You must be prepared to sacrifice everything for China!"
Lin Mo stood up and saluted solemnly.
"Everything for China!"
"I, Lin Mo, will definitely not betray the trust placed in me!"
Everyone nodded in gratification. This gamble concerning China's national destiny officially began placing its bets from this moment on!
Hopefully, Lin Mo will not disappoint everyone's expectations!
"Comrade Lin Mo! From now on, let us work hand in hand, never ceasing in our efforts, to create the future together!"
Next, Chief Designer Bai Yannian described Lin Mo's specific tasks in great detail.
Although they would try their best to reduce Lin Mo's administrative work, it was obvious that as the Chief Designer of all China's defense equipment, some things were unavoidable.
For example, the development direction of China's scientific research and major defense matters all required his decision.
Lin Mo took a deep breath and accepted it all. Gains and losses are the unchanging truth of this world. Fortunately, his energy was far beyond that of an ordinary person, so he didn't need to worry about not having enough time.
"Comrade Lin Mo, don't be anxious!" Chief Designer Bai Yannian said with a smile.
"The focus of your work is still the five-year scientific research plan for Huaxia Future!"
"This is the top priority; you must not put the cart before the horse!"
Lin Mo nodded, stating that he was confident in doing his job well.
Afterward, Lin Mo reported on the matters regarding the second phase of Project Houyi and discussed with Chief Designer Bai Yannian the subsequent reform arrangements for Controlled Nuclear Fusion.
For example, for the super-large "Golden Crow" nuclear power plants, building only 10 in the initial phase was moving too slowly!
10 "Golden Crow" plants were indeed enough to supply the country's current electricity demand, but driven by his many future technologies, energy consumption would inevitably increase significantly! Exponential growth!
Building just 10 "Golden Crow" nuclear power plants was completely a drop in the bucket! Therefore, Lin Mo proposed that if they were to build, they should go big and build more than 100 at once!
Moreover, the unit configuration of each "Golden Crow" nuclear power plant, 16 units, was also not enough! By adopting the new unit stacking method, the unit configuration would be increased to 64 per "Golden Crow"!
In addition, at important locations, such as Lin Mo's large scientific research centers, large military bases, and the equipment depots of major military regions—the energy-intensive areas of the future—they must build ultra-giant "Golden Crow" nuclear power plants with high standards and high requirements!
Each ultra-giant "Golden Crow" must adopt a cubic stacking design and be equipped with at least 256 nuclear fusion units!
Listening to these words from Lin Mo, everyone was stunned, and Chief Designer Bai Yannian's hair seemed to have turned white by another two shades, but he was not scared; on the contrary, he was even more excited!
Thinking that 100 "Golden Crows" would soon be spread across China under his leadership, he was completely excited! Damn it! Just do it! As long as it doesn't kill us, work until we die!
With Lin Mo's participation, the major meeting items were basically agreed upon. Every time a major meeting was held, time passed quickly; two hours had passed, and it was now 9:30 PM China time.
Chief Designer Bai Yannian looked at his watch and said with a smile.
"Comrade Lin Mo, it will be 10 o'clock in half an hour," "At that time, you will undertake a task, which is also your first task as a decision-maker."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo asked: "So fast, so urgent? What kind of work is it?"
General Yun Feijie, who was on the side, said with a chuckle.
"It doesn't really count as work; it's just watching a good show together!" "Although this show hasn't started yet, I can't help but want to laugh right now! Hahaha!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other leaders were somewhat surprised. General Yun Feijie laughed awkwardly by himself for a long time without anyone responding, and in the end, he had to put away his smile and say helplessly.
"Everyone, you are truly busy people and have not kept up with the recent international situation!" "It is now the evening of November 8th, China time, and it is the morning of November 8th over in the Eagle Nation!" "Do you remember now?"
