158: Chapter 158 Armor Disassembly! A few ungrateful bastards, I am ashamed to be associated with you!

The next day.

In the northern part of New Mexico, Eagle Country.

On a remote plateau, a magnificent complex of buildings was situated.

The entire complex was surrounded by barbed wire, and a trefoil ionizing radiation symbol was hung every five meters.

This was precisely the Alamos National Laboratory of Eagle Country, where the Manhattan Project was implemented, and also the birthplace of the nightmare for the people of Japan.

The world's first mushroom bomb was successfully developed right here.

"What's going on?"

"Why have so many armored vehicles been coming over lately?"

"Are they starting some new project again?"

Watching the endless stream of various armored vehicles on the road, the nearby residents of Eagle Country discussed the matter among themselves.

Entering the twenty-first century, due to repeated protests from anti-war activists, this largest multi-functional laboratory in the world had stopped operating for several years.

Now, after many years, it had actually been reactivated by the Eagle Country military!

...

"It's here!"

"It has finally been delivered!"

Thirty meters beneath the main laboratory building lay a massive underground research center.

At this moment, more than two hundred military scientists from Eagle Country (the Western Alliance nations had not yet arrived) were gathered here, looking at the equipment crates that several Eagle Country soldiers were pushing out of the elevator, and everyone was incredibly excited.

"Dr. Steve, shall we proceed with the armor testing immediately?" the soldier asked.

Dr. Steve, the former head of the Eagle Country Exoskeleton Armor project, was also participating in the armor technology disassembly work this time.

However, although he was still the project leader sent by The Pentagon, he was not the most critical figure.

Dr. Steve turned around, looked at the three people at the very front of the crowd, and asked respectfully.

"Professors, how about we test the specific performance of this armor first, and then attempt to disassemble it?"

These three were the three heavyweight military scientists of Eagle Country: Professor David, a Nobel Prize winner in Physics who specialized in material physics and metal mechanics; Professor Ramsey, who specialized in microwave lasers and mechanical power operations; and Professor Raymond, who specialized in nuclear physics and high-energy physics.

Among them, Raymond was even a student personally mentored by Professor Omer, the "father of the mushroom bomb"!

David and Ramsey did not speak, but instead looked at Raymond.

Here, whether in terms of scientific research capability or status and position, Raymond was undoubtedly the number one.

"There is no rush to conduct the tests yet," Raymond said indifferently.

"There is another very important thing we must do beforehand."

The crowd was surprised, and Steve was also somewhat confused; the Exoskeleton Armor had arrived, so if they weren't starting the performance tests immediately, what were they going to do?

Just at this moment, Raymond faced the crowd, his voice indifferent.

"All ethnic Chinese and Chinese descendants present, stand out."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Compelled by Raymond's authority, more than 30 ethnic Chinese and Chinese descendant military scientists walked to the very front of the crowd.

"Everyone."

"You are now great people of Eagle Country."

"But the target of this project is your former motherland, China!"

"To avoid any unpleasant incidents, I hope you will do two things here."

Raymond scanned these ethnic Chinese and Chinese descendant scientists, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"First, you will renew your oath of allegiance to Eagle Country right here!"

Raymond's words caused the expressions of some to change drastically.

However, a few among them were exceptionally excited: "What are you waiting for? Take the oath!"

Constrained by their own citizenship, everyone eventually spoke up.

"I hereby solemnly swear,"

"I will completely renounce my citizenship and loyalty to the country I previously belonged to..."

"...I am willing to take up arms to defend Eagle Country..."

"...I will firmly defend the constitution of Eagle Country and oppose all enemies of Eagle Country..."

"...I will faithfully pledge allegiance to Eagle Country!"

"So help me God!"

After these people finished the oath, Raymond clapped.

"Very good!"

"Now for the second thing."

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Raymond's mouth.

"Please, all of you Chinese scientists, get out of here!"

"We in Eagle Country do not welcome you despicable yellow monkeys!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.

Some Chinese scientists were directly enraged.

"Bullshit Raymond, are you playing us?"

"Racism! This is naked racism!"

"I was invited by The Pentagon; what right do you have to make us leave!"

"Right! If anyone is leaving, it should be you!"

To this, Raymond ignored them, instead handing the full power of attorney from The Pentagon to Steve.

"Charles gave me absolute authority,"

"I am using it now; do you have any objections?"

Steve looked at the secret document with the seal in his hand, his expression complex.

With this power of attorney, what authority did he, the project leader, have left to speak of?

"Professor Raymond, I have no objections; I will listen to you."

Seeing that Steve was about to call the Eagle Country soldiers to kick them out, some Chinese scientists panicked.

"Respected Professor Raymond, please, you must believe me!"

"My soul, Lin Hua's soul, is tightly connected to Eagle Country!"

Looking at this person who spoke up, Raymond said indifferently.

"Dr. Lin Hua, prove your loyalty to Eagle Country to me."

Hearing this, Lin Hua was instantly overjoyed; this was clearly a softening of his stance!

"Professor Raymond, I cry in my dreams every day!"

"I hate it!"

"I hate this yellow skin of mine, I hate that I was once Chinese; it is the stain of my life!"

"China is so despicable, shameless, dark, and corrupt... I hate it so much, why was I so unlucky to be reincarnated as a Chinese person?"

"But please, everyone, believe me, I am now a BANANA!"

"Underneath my yellow skin, my flesh and blood and soul are all white!"

Listening to Lin Hua use fluent English to make such a vivid metaphor, everyone present burst into laughter.

"Professor Raymond, please believe me!"

"Ever since I graduated from Shuimu University, I have realized, I have truly realized!"

"I chose to become a citizen of Eagle Country, I chose to move towards the light!"

"Everything I have belongs to Eagle Country; I have completely become a part of Eagle Country..."

"...In order to break with China, I have severed all ties with China!"

"...I am willing to build weapons for Eagle Country, even if these weapons are aimed at China!..."

Lin Hua's words made some Chinese scientists turn red with anger, while the other Eagle Country scientists around them watched with great interest.

After Lin Hua finished speaking, Raymond stepped forward, extended his right hand, and shook Lin Hua's hand tightly.

"Dr. Lin Hua, it was I who misunderstood you; you may stay!"

Lin Hua was ecstatic, and the strength of the handshake increased significantly.

Words from the bottom of one's heart are indeed easy to move people!

Seeing this, other Chinese scientists stepped out one after another, beginning their clumsy performances, and passed one by one.

"You are all a bunch of people who have forgotten your ancestors!"

"I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

About 10 Chinese scientists really couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out in anger.
