373: Chapter 372 The Aftermath of Everyone Becoming a Dragon...

The mobilization speech had just ended.

General Yun Feijie immediately issued the order.

The seven-day devilish intensive training officially began.

Because this exploration mission was "unprecedented" in China.

Every Space Force soldier participating in the mission had a vast amount of specialized knowledge to cram.

Just counting the categories of knowledge, there were fully 14 major classifications.

If converted into the thickness of books, it would reach over three meters, taller than the Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor!

Although the Space Force soldiers were the cream of the crop selected from the millions in the Dragon Army, and all had at least an undergraduate degree, with 23% even being military academy postgraduates...

...expecting them to master such a vast amount of specialized knowledge in just seven days was nothing but a pipe dream.

Fortunately, it would take about three to four months to reach the Asteroid Belt.

If the soldiers were organized for about 12 hours of intensive study every day, they could barely manage to learn the basics...

What?

Hard work?

"A soldier should not fear hardship; if you fear hardship, don't be a soldier!"

"When it comes to enduring hardship, if my Space Force claims second place, no other unit in the entire Dragon Army would dare claim first!"

"Besides!"

"This kind of hardship that doesn't involve shedding blood, what kind of damn hardship is that?"

When Academician Lan Mingcheng suggested that the study pressure might be too high, General Yun Feijie was completely indifferent.

Chinese high school seniors all study at least 14 hours a day.

What is this little bit of hardship?

On the training ground, over 3,000 Space Force soldiers were as excited as monkeys, completely unaware of what they were about to face...

Of course.

To ensure the exploration mission was foolproof, some specialized and refined exploration sub-tasks could not just rely on those rough soldiers.

Academician Lan Mingcheng led over 120 key experts from the Vibranium research team to move into the Space Force Base.

Next, they would participate in the Space Force soldiers' devilish training throughout.

After the training ended, 30 technical experts would be selected from those who passed to join the 30 Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet formations, serving as technical instructors for the squads to provide professional guidance for the exploration mission.

While the Space Force Base was busy with pre-mission training, Lin Mo was not idle either.

Over ten kilometers away, in the top-floor conference hall of the main office building of the Lin Mo Research Center.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian, General Li Jingwu, Professor Ai Chongfeng, Xiang Guangming, and other high-level Chinese officials and project leaders, totaling over 40 people, took their seats, packing the conference hall.

"Wasn't it agreed that everyone could decide on the major matters of those projects independently?"

"With dozens or hundreds of plans nationwide, if every project leader came to me once, would I still be able to do research? Do I still need a life?"

Lin Mo sat at the head of the table, full of helplessness.

"You all kept saying before that my personal bachelor status is already a national-level issue."

"Look at this lineup of yours, do you have any intention of letting me solve my bachelor status?"

After being lashed out at by Lin Mo, everyone just laughed it off.

Learning that Lin Mo had no intention of vacationing in North America, everyone rushed over upon hearing the news.

There was no choice. Without Lin Mo's nod, many tasks were stuck at critical nodes and simply could not proceed.

Before this, although Lin Mo had assigned a bunch of task projects to everyone and said they could make decisions entirely on their own, it was obvious he wanted to be a hands-off manager.

However, many things were very tricky. Some of them even concerned Lin Mo's subsequent plans.

If not handled properly, it would inevitably greatly affect the implementation of subsequent plans.

Therefore, without Lin Mo's nod, no one dared to proceed blindly.

"Ahem... Lin Mo." Receiving a look from Chief Designer Bai Yannian, Professor Ai Chongfeng, as Lin Mo's mentor, spoke first.

"The situation is this."

"You know, I am the main person in charge of the Yanhuang Project."

"Currently, the comprehensive inoculation work of our Azure Dragon Supplement is progressing very smoothly."

"Ten days ago, apart from some special personnel who had not been inoculated, we had already achieved 95% coverage in China."

"However..."

"The impact of this Azure Dragon Supplement on society is simply too great, and the direction of this change seems to have gone a bit off track..."

"Especially... especially..." Professor Ai Chongfeng stopped here, unable to utter another word for a long time.

"Off track?" Lin Mo asked in confusion.

"Mentor, can you be clearer? What on earth does that mean?"

Professor Ai Chongfeng hesitated several times, seeming very embarrassed.

There was no choice; Chief Designer Bai Yannian had to take over.

"Under the influence of the Azure Dragon Supplement, the energy of young people in China has become abnormally vigorous."

"Although it is midsummer now, the whole of China is rippling with an atmosphere of spring."

"This is the special report summarizing relevant information from various ministries and commissions compiled by the Secretariat. Take a look."

The extremely intelligent Lin Mo understood in an instant. He was immediately left speechless and laughing.

He took the special report handed over by Chief Designer Bai Yannian and quickly browsed through it.

"Condoms are out of stock on major online shopping platforms. Production enterprises like Durex, Jissbon, and Okamoto are running at full capacity but still cannot meet demand. China is about to welcome a baby boom..."

"Grey industries such as adult products have sprung up like mushrooms in a short period of time, with a trend of becoming increasingly intense. Because Chinese young people have strong physiques, there is no lack of egregious situations among them..."

"'Standing up and thrusting, jumping and sitting...' Entries with suggestive connotations have repeatedly made it to the hot topics on Weibo, greatly affecting the social atmosphere in China..."

"In addition, incidents violating public morality such as cheating, promiscuity, prostitution, and hookups have also shown signs of an explosion in a short period of time..."

Chief Designer Bai Yannian introduced the current basic situation to Lin Mo without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Full bellies and warm clothes lead to lust."

"Comrade Lin Mo, the key issue now is."

"Currently, 80% of the police force in our public security departments is tied up in anti-pornography work."

"You also know that in the recent period following the comprehensive inoculation of the Azure Dragon Supplement, social security issues such as criminal offenses and fighting will reach their peak."

"If this continues, a situation where we are unable to attend to everything is bound to arise..."

"This matter is truly difficult to handle!"

After a pause, Chief Designer Bai Yannian spoke again.

"My proposal is to prioritize public security and temporarily suspend anti-pornography efforts."

"But when it was brought to the meeting, it was opposed by over 80% of the high-level officials."

"Some even proposed establishing specialized national institutions such as a Bureau for Correcting Social Conduct to specifically rectify the social atmosphere."

"Their general meaning is that if this kind of crooked and evil trend is allowed to spread, the traditional virtues that China has passed down for five thousand years will be completely discarded like worn-out shoes under this round of social change."

"At that time, social morals will decline, and people's hearts will no longer be what they once were."

"How can China still be called China?"
