161: Chapter 161 The Third System Upgrade Mission: Overlord of Blue Star!

[Obtained prestige points: 100 million!]

[Current prestige points: 180 million (Overlord of Blue Star Stage)]

[...]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations Host, you can now claim the third system upgrade mission!]

[Would you like to claim it?]

Successfully detonated the Eagle Country National Laboratory...

Ob...

Obtained 100 million prestige points???

Lin Mo took several deep breaths in a row,

to calm the sudden surprise.

By this series of system prompts,

his mind went momentarily blank from the shock!

"Yes!"

Without time to think further,

Lin Mo responded in his mind.

[Mission claimed successfully!]

[Third System Upgrade Mission — "Overlord of Blue Star"!]

[Mission Requirements: Using the "Luan Bird" Aerospace Carrier and the "Kunpeng" Submersible Carrier, conduct a massive boost to the confidence of the Huaxia people and carry out a massive strategic intimidation of the Western Alliance countries led by Eagle Country!]

[Mission Rewards:]

[1. Obtain 200 million prestige points!]

[2. System upgrade to 4.0, unlocking Level 4 technology!]

[3. The prestige system enters the Overlord of Blue Star stage, more exchangeable items unlocked, and a brand new function — Star Map — is activated!]

After standing dazed for a long time,

the exceptionally brilliant Lin Mo

quickly analyzed the cause and effect.

Presumably, Eagle Country had obtained from some country

the export version of the Exoskeleton Armor that Huaxia had just shipped,

and their forced disassembly led to an explosion!

However, Lin Mo was still somewhat puzzled.

He knew that

the explosive power of the armor's power unit was actually not that large.

It was only...

emmmm...

500 kilograms of TNT equivalent?

Calculating it, it was probably about the same power as a common conventional missile.

Eagle Country's Alamos National Laboratory

had once executed the Manton Project,

so its area should be quite large.

Moreover,

there would be many scientific research test sites both above and below ground,

and all defense measures were at the highest level,

its blast resistance would certainly be second to none even in Huaxia.

As a result,

it was just directly blown up by an armor power unit?

It shouldn't be?

Lin Mo thought for ten seconds,

and really couldn't figure out the reason,

so he simply gave up thinking about it.

In any case,

at least the prestige points had been credited!

Lin Mo looked excited.

"Prestige point mall, exchange for technology!"

[Host, what technology do you want to exchange for?]

"I'll exchange for all of them!"

[...]

After a 0.01-second freeze, the system

completed the exchange for the supporting technology for the Azure Dragon Level 1 Genetic Supplement (40 million),

the supporting technology for the White Dragon Level 1 Genetic Supplement (60 million),

the "Plant Genetic Engineering Technical Guide (Herbaceous Chapter)" (20 million),

and the "Plant Genetic Engineering Technical Guide (Woody Chapter)" (20 million).

All exchanges were completed.

In his mind,

Lin Mo quickly browsed through these genetic engineering technologies.

He clicked his tongue inwardly.

"Good thing I exchanged for them early!"

"Even with the ready-made supporting technology, this R&D work is not simple at all!"

Lin Mo counted,

the core sub-technologies of the Azure Dragon Level 1 supplement actually numbered as many as 20,000!

And the White Dragon Level 1 supplement was even more exaggerated,

with over 100,000 sub-technologies!

One must know that,

even for the epoch-making "Xuannu" Aerospace Fighter,

its core supporting sub-technologies were only 233 items.

This meant that,

even for the Azure Dragon Level 1 supplement,

if all of Huaxia's top biological scientists were to copy the homework with the answers provided,

they would have to copy day and night for at least half a year

before it was possible to finish copying it!

"Leader, it's already 11 PM, getting ready for the night shift change."

"Would you like to go back and get some rest?"

Hearing the report from a high-level executive of the Third Bureau of China Construction nearby, Lin Mo snapped out of it.

"Oh, no need!"

"Chief Engineer Liang, you've been directing all day too, go into the command center and rest for a bit!"

"I'll personally follow today's night shift!"

Hearing this,

Liang Kaituo, the project's chief engineer,

spoke with a tone of respect.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"I really can't hold on much longer, I'll go lie down for a while."

In order to rush the construction schedule,

under the arrangements of the Fourth Leader,

the entire construction team implemented a "three-shift" work system.

It was called three shifts, but it was actually "three shifts into two," with everyone voluntarily rotating through two shifts!

The work was very hard,

but no one in the construction team complained,

on the contrary, their morale was high.

"The base bonus for the first phase of the project is 100,000!"

"Construction period: 30 days!"

"For every day the schedule is moved forward, an additional 10,000 will be added!"

"If the schedule can be compressed within 20 days!"

"For every day compressed further, an extra 20,000 will be added!"

"..."

Listening to the white-hatted supervisors with megaphones,

shouting the bonus incentive arrangements on a loop every day at the construction site,

all the workers were like they were on stimulants;

in their eyes, it was no longer yellow earth, steel bars, cement, tower cranes, and excavators,

but dozens of stacks of Huaxia currency!

Houses!

Cars!

Wives!

Happiness!

Under heavy rewards, there will surely be brave men.

According to this bonus incentive arrangement,

everyone in the project

could get at least over 200,000 in bonuses!

In this era where prices had not yet skyrocketed,

200,000 Huaxia currency

was enough to build a three-story small villa in their rural hometown!

And so,

everyone exerted their full strength to rush the schedule.

Of course,

while the schedule had to be rushed, quality also had to be guaranteed.

Countless white-hatted supervisors shuttled through the construction site,

and besides shouting slogans and pumping everyone up,

they were also responsible for quality supervision.

"In less than a week, the Genetic Engineering Research Sub-center will be completed."

Looking at the dozen or so new buildings rising from the ground,

Lin Mo thought to himself.

"When the time comes, besides starting the Yanhuang Project,"

"we can also simultaneously start the plant genetic engineering research to solve Huaxia's food problem..."

...

The next day.

Eagle Country.

Black Palace.

Countless staff members were shuttling back and forth quickly,

everyone was drenched in sweat and exceptionally busy.

"Director Smith, the investigation report is out!"

"Print three copies!"

After Smith got the investigation report,

he hurried to the office.

At this moment,

his undershirt was already soaked with sweat.

The person most responsible for this explosion incident

was not the Pentagon,

but him, the Director of the CIA!

With such a massive intelligence failure,

he could not escape the blame!

Smith wiped his sweat

and pushed the door open to enter.

"Lord Trump, Secretary of Defense Charles, this is the investigation report, please have a look."

Trump flipped through the investigation report,

and did not make a sound for a long time.

In order to take the initiative,

Smith swallowed hard

and spoke first.

"Sir, according to the on-site investigation results,"

"the main factor that caused the explosion at the Alamos National Laboratory this time,"

"was a Mushroom Bomb explosion!"

The veins on Trump's forehead were bulging.

"Are you saying the Huaxia people came to our Eagle Country soil and set off a Mushroom Bomb?"

Smith replied hurriedly.

"No..."

"According to the cloud storage video records, the daily reports submitted by the research team, the explosion traces at the scene, and other chains of evidence,"

"we can basically confirm"

"that this massive explosion was because the High-energy plasma power unit of the Exoskeleton Armor triggered an emergency device during the forced disassembly process, resulting in a large-scale high-energy plasma blast!"

"Under the super-strong electromagnetic oscillations, it detonated the small mushroom warhead in the adjacent testing ground..."
