292: Chapter 292 The Final Sprint

After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation about "waste utilization," Lin Jianguo nodded thoughtfully.

He smacked his lips, just opened his mouth, intending to say something more.

"Alright, alright."

Zhou Xiulan raised her hand directly, interrupting him impatiently.

"It's the New Year, our son has finally come back, why are you here nagging him about these irrelevant things?"

"Besides, who wears that armor, who gets to go on stage, what does it have to do with our Xiaoyuan?"

"That must be a decision weighed by the high-level leaders above. With so many think tanks in the country, do you really need to worry about such trivial things here?"

Lin Jianguo was rendered speechless by the retort, scratched his head, feeling that his wife had a point, and sullenly swallowed his words.

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa, listening to his mother's words, his expression calm, smiling without speaking.

Meanwhile, as the Spring Festival Gala program continued to progress, an unprecedented network tsunami was sweeping the globe at a terrifying speed beyond everyone's imagination.

The Xia internet had completely turned into an ocean of joy and memes.

All kinds of memes were flying everywhere, and the ghost-like edited video of Tony singing hymns while wearing the armor had swept the rankings of major video websites with overwhelming force in just half an hour.

Countless netizens were immersed in unprecedented cultural confidence, frantically posting barrage comments to celebrate.

"Awesome, so awesome! I unilaterally declare this year's Spring Festival Gala legendary!"

"Hahaha, Teacher Tony's broken Mandarin is too catchy. 'I drink my pig pot,' my head is full of this sentence now, I can't sing it normally at all!"

"Hahaha, I'd like to see who dares to boast about the sci-fi foundation of The Other Side of the Ocean in front of us! Your foundation is currently singing the main melody on our Spring Festival Gala stage!"

And on the other side.

The internet on The Other Side of the Ocean had completely turned into a landfill of despair and wailing.

Countless overseas netizens watched helplessly as the superhero they had chased for years, wearing the ultimate fantasy armor that should have belonged to their country, was singing for the Eastern Dragon.

This collapse of faith was even more desperate for them than being crushed by the Aerospace Fighter of the south heaven gate.

"Ban it, quickly ban this damn video from the entire network!"

"This is the darkest and most humiliating day in the history of The Other Side of the Ocean!!"

"Sir, I'd rather go to war directly! If we don't fight, our younger generation will start treating the Xia country as their savior!"

Cultural hegemony had suffered a literal devastating blow.

Soon, as the gala program progressed, the countdown to midnight began to resound through the studio hall.

On the TV screen, several hosts walked to the center of the stage together, counting down loudly with radiant faces.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"... Three, two, one!"

The clock struck midnight on time, and the new year officially arrived.

The next moment.

The screen of the mobile phone Lin Yuan placed on the coffee table suddenly lit up, accompanied by a high-frequency vibration sound.

Message after message flooded in at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Yuan took out his phone and unlocked the screen.

In the sender list, there wasn't a single mass-sent spam text; they were all from the top figures of the Xia country.

Lin Yuan scanned the messages that would have made the outside world go crazy, a smile appearing in his eyes.

He did not slack off, his fingertips dancing quickly on the screen, patiently replying to the New Year's greetings one by one.

In the following days of the holiday, Lin Yuan stayed in this home peacefully, accompanying his grandfather and parents to walk around, chatting about family matters, and spent a stable and fulfilling New Year.

...

Time passed, and the holiday flew by.

The day to leave home arrived.

Lin Yuan did not let his family send him off, saving them from the tedious sorrow of parting.

He took his simple luggage and went straight to the dark special car that had been waiting quietly outside the small courtyard.

The wheels rolled, speeding all the way.

Without any stop, the special car drove directly into the heavily guarded Research Building No. 7 of the Xia Academy of Sciences.

Lin Yuan pushed the door and got out of the car. The early spring cold wind still carried a bit of chill, but the Research Building No. 7 in front of him was already in another scene of bustling activity.

Just after pushing open the glass door of the first-floor lobby, the low-frequency humming of various high-end precision equipment rushed towards him, and the familiar smell of disinfectant mixed with reagents filled the air.

Lin Yuan glanced around and raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the entire first-floor lobby, Zhou Kai and the core members of the Life Sciences team had actually arrived at their posts early, all dressed neatly and moving between various experimental benches.

White-coated figures walked in a hurry, their eyes focused.

Lin Yuan stepped forward, the corners of his lips curled into a smile, and he greeted them with a casual tone of teasing.

"Dean Zhou, everyone is here so early?"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Kai, who was lowering his head to verify the parameters, turned his head.

As soon as he saw Lin Yuan, his old face bloomed with extreme excitement, and he hurried up to meet him.

"Academician Lin, you've finally arrived!"

Zhou Kai rubbed his hands vigorously, his voice loud enough for the entire lobby to hear, revealing an irrepressible fanaticism and drive.

"We had to come early! We couldn't settle down at home during this New Year!"

"Once I thought about the progress of that thing being stuck at the last critical moment, I dreamed of experimental data at home every day, I wished I could run back to work on the second day of the Lunar New Year!"

Zhou Kai walked up to Lin Yuan, his chest puffed out straight, and reported concisely.

"Academician Lin, the automated production line prototypes for the Vitality Strengthening Drug and the hair growth and strengthening drugs were completely debugged before the New Year."

"Subsequent expansion of production and large-scale mass production are being closely watched by relevant departments, so there is no need for us to worry about it at all."

"Therefore, all our energy is now concentrated!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Kai took a deep breath, staring at Lin Yuan with burning eyes, flames of ambition jumping in the bottom of his eyes.

"Plus, we had already cleared more than half of the preparation process for the Super Soldier Serum before the New Year, and there are no problems with the underlying logic!"

"Next, it is time to fully accelerate the preparation of the Super Soldier Serum!"

"Academician Lin, we are prepared to try to get this thing completely finished in the shortest possible time!"

Hearing these resounding words from Zhou Kai, dozens of top experts in the field of Life Sciences in the entire lobby stopped what they were doing.

Swish—!

Countless eyes were cast on Lin Yuan simultaneously.

Everyone's eyes burned with soaring fighting spirit and extreme anticipation.

Being able to personally create the ultimate serum that reaches the human physiological limit is a fatal temptation that no Life Sciences researcher can refuse.

Lin Yuan stood quietly on the spot, looking at the scene before him, feeling the fanatical atmosphere in the laboratory.

He didn't say a word of nonsense, just nodded slightly.

"Since everyone is ready..."

"Then, let's start the final sprint."
