41: Chapter 41 Top-Tier Overt Strategies

Upon hearing this, Wei Jiancheng was completely stunned.

He subconsciously thought that the days of high-intensity fighting had caused him to experience auditory hallucinations.

Let... let them see?

See what?!

How to see?!

Not to mention letting those covetous jackals abroad see it, even within the Xia Academy of Sciences, apart from the people in this Building No. 7, very few people knew the specific technical details!

This is a core secret capable of changing the nation's destiny!

Wei Jiancheng's brain felt like it had crashed; he looked at Lin Yuan's face, his lips moving.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yuan saw his astonishment but did not explain immediately.

He just stretched out a finger and pointed across the air at the mesmerizingly stable, deep blue Light Source on the main console screen, and the nearly perfect horizontal power curve beside it.

"Director Wei."

"The emergence of this result should be enough to shatter all the doubts and ridicule from abroad, right?"

Whenever technology was mentioned, Wei Jiancheng's back would subconsciously straighten, and that confidence belonging to a top scientist returned to him.

"Naturally!"

His voice became loud and resonant, full of confidence.

"Those idiots who haven't even figured out which path we are taking, always spouting 'outdated technology' and 'expensive farce'?"

"Do they think we are still playing with Synchrotron Radiation from decades ago?"

"What a joke!"

"Is a Steady-state Micro-focused Light Source the same thing as traditional Synchrotron Radiation?!"

The more Wei Jiancheng spoke, the more excited he became, almost spraying saliva everywhere.

This was a pure technical crushing, a generational gap in the dimension of cognition.

He had one hundred percent confidence that even if they tied that group of Western top experts to chairs and let them watch for three days and three nights, they wouldn't understand the core secrets within!

"Then that settles it."

On Lin Yuan's face, there remained that same calm and composed expression.

"Since our technical results are enough to prove everything..."

"Then why should we keep it hidden?"

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the researchers who were still immersed in excitement, busily organizing data.

"Director Wei, you are also aware of how crazily they are mocking us abroad."

"But even so, among the domestic public, there are still so many people who choose to believe in us unconditionally, defending us on the internet and eagerly awaiting our results."

"We can't let everyone down, can we?"

These few sentences, like a warm current, suddenly struck Wei Jiancheng's heart.

Yes.

He remembered the rumors he had seen on the internet these past few days.

He remembered those people wearing the hats of "rational and objective," jumping back and forth in the domestic public opinion field, repeatedly propagating theories of failure and surrender.

He also remembered that in that foul-smelling quagmire, there were still countless ordinary netizens using the simplest and most stubborn words to cheer them on.

That feeling of grievance and being moved had been weighing heavily on his heart.

But...

Wei Jiancheng knitted his brows; he was, after all, a veteran who had spent his life in scientific research, and the awareness of confidentiality was already etched into his bones.

"However, Chief Engineer Lin, this is our core secret after all."

He lowered his voice, his body leaning towards Lin Yuan involuntarily, his voice full of anxiety.

"Once made public, even if only part of the key data is released, if they happen to follow the clues and figure out some of the secrets, wouldn't that be...!?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

When ahead, one must hide well.

This was the consensus of all scientific researchers.

However, after listening, Lin Yuan just smiled.

"Director Wei, do you really think that group of people abroad will follow the same path as us?"

This question left Wei Jiancheng stunned.

Lin Yuan continued: "Our technology's core lies in that brand-new theory. Without that theory, even if they see our results, they will only be looking at flowers through the fog; it won't be that easy for them to grasp the secrets."

"And how long would it take to start from scratch and reverse-engineer a subversive theoretical system?"

"Five years? Ten years? Or even longer?"

"Can they afford to wait?"

Without waiting for Wei Jiancheng to answer, Lin Yuan threw out an even sharper question.

"Taking a step back, even if they were gifted and truly managed to figure out the secrets in a short time."

"However, Director Wei, don't forget."

"Those few giants abroad already have a very mature and terrifyingly profitable technical system."

"Behind them is a massive interest group composed of thousands of top suppliers, one large enough to influence national policies."

"Their industrial chains, their patent barriers, their massive market worth trillions of dollars..."

"Everything is tightly bound to the traditional technical route!"

Lin Yuan's speaking speed was not fast, but every word smashed heavily against Wei Jiancheng's inherent perception.

"Do you think they will choose to cut off their own arm to survive, tear down everything they have to start over, and risk the collapse of their entire commercial empire to embrace a brand-new, unknown technical direction..."

"Or will they hold onto wishful thinking, while intensifying technical blockades against us, praying to God in church, betting that we won't succeed, and betting that we will fall and shatter on the subsequent path of engineering?"

In the conference room, Wei Jiancheng stood there blankly, his mouth slightly open, unable to say a single word.

He was completely stunned by Lin Yuan's words.

He had spent his whole life dealing with technology, thinking about how to overcome difficulties and how to achieve functions.

But what Lin Yuan was thinking about were things outside of technology.

It was human nature, business, and the game of the entire industrial landscape!

This was simply not a way of thinking from the same dimension!

This young man, what he saw was the entire chessboard!

Wei Jiancheng suddenly felt a chill run up his back, making his hair stand on end.

He looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and for the first time, a kind of indescribable awe rose in his heart.

This kid... is he really only twenty years old?

Lin Yuan took in Wei Jiancheng's reaction; this was the effect he wanted.

Because what he said was the truth.

His publishing of the results was not an impulse, but a carefully planned overt plot.

Firstly, it could bring the confidence and expectations of the domestic public to an unprecedented peak, harvesting massive amounts of confidence for his system, and making the subsequent path of turning lies into truth much smoother.

Secondly, it was to personally feed the foreign competitors a slow-acting poison named "hesitation."

He wanted to place a golden, broad road in front of them and tell them that this path leads to the future.

But they dared not walk it, nor were they willing to.

They would only doubt, wait and see, hesitate, and then watch helplessly as Xia State sped away on this path.

By the time they finally reacted and had to follow up, Xia State would already be an existence they could not hope to catch up with.

"Director Wei, do you understand?"

Lin Yuan's voice pulled Wei Jiancheng's thoughts back.

"I understand..."

Wei Jiancheng said in a dry voice.

"Publishing it can both give our own people a shot of adrenaline and leave those foreigners in a dilemma, wasting their time in hesitation and waiting."

"What a brilliant overt plot!"

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he felt, and the more he felt that this move was brilliant to the extreme.

"I have no objection."

Wei Jiancheng said decisively; he had been completely convinced.

"However..."

He added, "Such a big matter, my word isn't final; it must be approved by Old Chen and those above."

Lin Yuan nodded; all of this was within his expectations.

"It's fine, I will talk to them."
