357: Chapter 356 Walton District People's Elementary School? New York City People's Hospital? Los Angeles City People's Bank?

Washington Special Administrative Region People's Elementary School? New York City People's Hospital? Los Angeles People's Bank?

The next day.

The east coast of North America.

In the scorching heat of late July, the sun was shining brightly.

Above the dome of the Black Palace, a brand-new Chinese dragon flag fluttered high in the air.

The plaza in front of the gate.

Several Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets arrived abruptly, slowly hovering over the vast plaza.

Lin Mo was routinely wearing a set of Exoskeleton Armor.

He leaped down from the belly compartment of the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet.

Just after getting off the Xuan-Nu.

Before Lin Mo even had time to observe the surrounding scenery, an incredibly incongruous scene rushed towards him.

He saw.

On the main road leading to the Black Palace, a brightly colored red carpet had been laid out.

Thousands of American children were lined up on both sides.

Holding two large red flowers in their hands, their faces were full of excitement.

At a glance.

White, black, yellow, mixed—they were of every skin color, fully embodying the species diversity of humanity.

Before Lin Mo could react.

Suddenly.

At the command of several staff members.

Thousands of American children immediately began marching in place, shouting in unison at Lin Mo and his party in broken Chinese.

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"

"..."

While shouting, they didn't forget to raise the red flowers in their hands high and wave them rhythmically.

Seeing this outrageous scene, Lin Mo was completely baffled, almost starting to doubt if he had come to the wrong place.

This Black Palace... how was it so different from the American Black Palace in his memory?

Just then.

The former Chinese Ambassador to the US, now the first Chief Executive of the Washington Special Administrative Region, Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang, came up to greet them with a beaming smile, accompanied by a group of high-ranking officials from the special administrative region government.

"A warm welcome to Lin Mo for visiting the Chinese Washington Special Administrative Region to guide the work of our regional government!"

"Chief Designer Lin, you have worked hard!"

"That Chief Designer Lin could spare precious time from your busy schedule to personally come to the Washington Special Administrative Region to investigate and guide our work is not only a sign of care and deep affection for our regional government, but also a spur and encouragement to our regional team!"

"I believe!"

"Under Chief Designer Lin's dedicated guidance this time, the overall work of our regional government will definitely reach a new level, and we will certainly be able to better fulfill the historic mission entrusted to our regional government by China!..."

Because Lin Mo was wearing the Kunlun Armor, which was a full 2.5 meters tall, Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang had to look up high.

But Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang didn't feel tired at all, his mouth kept blabbering on non-stop, and his face remained filled with a bureaucratic smile.

This kind of smile was one that any Chinese person would find extremely familiar.

"Stop!"

Lin Mo said helplessly.

"Chief Executive Cao, can I say a word?"

Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang wisely shut his mouth.

Lin Mo took off his armor helmet and, pointing at the American children who were still "warmly welcoming" him, asked helplessly.

"Where did these children come from?"

Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang thought this great leader wanted to show his approachable side.

He immediately replied with a full, smiling face.

"Chief Designer Lin, these children are all senior students from the Washington Special Administrative Region's First People's Elementary School; they admire you so much!"

"Pfft!..."

"What the hell is the Washington Special Administrative Region's First People's Elementary School..."

At this point, Lin Mo really couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Chief Executive Cao, did you also set up a New York City First People's Hospital, a Los Angeles First People's Bank, a San Francisco People's Stadium...?"

Upon hearing this.

Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang's eyes lit up immediately.

As if he had met a kindred spirit.

"Chief Designer Lin, you have such brilliant insight!"

"Exactly!"

"Over the past month, our regional government's reform work across the region and the fifty countries of North America has been proceeding quite smoothly!"

"Currently, the reform of the hospital system has basically been completed!"

"Because the American Federal Reserve involves so much, and the liquidity of American currency is very strong globally, the reform really still needs some time!"

"However, I assure you that we will definitely complete the task before the third quarter of this year!"

"Chief Designer Lin, do you have any guidance or suggestions for our reform work? That would be great!..."

Lin Mo was completely speechless.

Even the waves of heat rushing from the sun-baked plaza couldn't compare to the impact of this incongruity.

"Let's not talk about it for now, let's enter the Black Palace..."

"Okay, alright!"

"If Chief Designer Lin is interested, I can also briefly report to you on the way; our reform work currently has six main highlights..."

...

Under the guidance of Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang.

Lin Mo and his party walked along the red carpet into the Black Palace.

Everyone first visited Trump's Oval Office, and then went to several other famous places, such as the Golden Hall and the Reception Hall, for a general tour.

Half an hour later.

The tour ended.

Standing in the Golden Hall of the Black Palace, looking at the old seats in the hall, Lin Mo sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"It really is too old."

Without the invincible halo of the former America.

These political buildings, used for over a hundred years by a generation of world hegemons, felt just like the Forbidden City in the Purple Forbidden City.

There was no longer any prosperity or nobility; everywhere one looked, there was only age and desolation.

After nearly half an hour of touring, the impression of America's tyranny that Lin Mo had held throughout his two lifetimes dissipated from then on.

Everyone also echoed his sentiments.

With his mind preoccupied, Lin Mo interrupted everyone and said to Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang.

"Chief Executive Cao, let's set off for Taiping Lake now!"

"Okay, Chief Designer Lin, I have already arranged the vehicles, please come this way!"

Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang replied immediately.

Taiping Lake was one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Washington Special Administrative Region with the least history.

It was also the main destination of Lin Mo's trip to North America this time.

After several consecutive heavy rains.

Located in the southwest of the Washington Special Administrative Region, at the site of the former Pentagon building complex, was that huge deep pit blasted out by the main cannon of the Luan-niao Aerospace Mothership.

It had already turned into a large freshwater lake with an area of 3 square kilometers and a depth of over 120 meters.

To commemorate China's great victory, to demonstrate China's absolute justice, and even more so to highlight China's philosophy of peace.

The Washington Special Administrative Region Chief Executive, Deputy Secretary-General Cao Tongguang, specially named this cannon-crater lake—Taiping Lake.

This was to serve as the only war ruin and landmark attraction left over from the Third World War on Blue Star.

...

When the group arrived outside the Black Palace, several armored vehicles were already parked by the side of the road.

Lin Mo not only did not take off the Exoskeleton Armor, but instead activated it to full power mode.

Free and beautiful America, shootings every day.

Although his itinerary was highly confidential, it was better to be careful before the gun ban on the North American continent was fully implemented.

Sitting in the armored vehicle.

The motorcade headed towards Taiping Lake.

Sitting inside the car.

Lin Mo recalled his previous judgments.

The anticipation in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

In the process of searching for traces of the Trisolaran Civilization, there were several points that Lin Mo couldn't figure out.

One of the most critical ones was.

When he completed the third system upgrade task earlier, the main object of his strategic intimidation was clearly America, but it ended up intimidating the Trisolaran Civilization as well.

Lin Mo knew clearly.

This was very unreasonable.

But within the unreasonableness, there seemed to be some inevitable connections.

For example.

America, or rather, certain people in America, had already established communication with the Trisolarans!

Perhaps.

At the former site of the Pentagon, he might be able to find some clues...

What Lin Mo didn't know was.

From the moment he left the Eastern Hemisphere and arrived in the Western Hemisphere.

A super-intelligent particle only the size of a proton.

Had already, for all his movements.

Conducted the tightest real-time surveillance.
