41: Chapter 41 The Real Target: The Deceased's Father

Inside the Black Palace.

The Lord of the Black Robe was very satisfied.

It hadn't been long before Lawton's subordinates produced Carbon-8 molecular material in the lab.

Although it was only a small batch and mass production was still a long way off, it was enough to shock the world!

"Lawton, well done. I won't fire you anymore!"

The Lord of the Black Robe patted Lawton on the shoulder.

Lawton hurriedly said, "It's all thanks to the efforts of many colleagues and Dr. X!"

"Dr. X? The one you applied for special permission to enter the biochemical experimental base last time?"

The Lord of the Black Robe suddenly remembered that Lawton had approached him several times last time just to let someone with no academic degree, no background, and no research capability enter the biochemical experimental base.

Moreover, this person came from a poor Indigenous Peoples tribe and dressed in a very ancient style.

At the time, he had wondered, what on earth is this?

But Lawton had recommended him strongly, saying the man had some ancient secret method that must be tried, so he had no choice but to grant special permission.

"Yes, Lord Black Robe. According to the original plan, it would have taken at least six months to release Carbon-8, but with Dr. X's efforts, the experimental process was greatly shortened."

Lawton claimed credit for Dr. X.

The Lord of the Black Robe nodded. "Fine! As long as results are achieved, let alone an Indigenous Peoples, I'd even give special permission for a pig to sit in my position!"

"..."

Lawton.

"By the way, release the news about Carbon-8. We will refuse to supply Carbon-8 to any smart tech company that cooperates with the Dragon Country!"

The Lord of the Black Robe issued another ban!

Since the Soul of God was defeated last time, many smart tech companies chose to cooperate with the Dragon Country.

Only a few allies and leashed dogs were still cooperating.

With the release of Carbon-8 this time, it would directly crush the Dragon Country's Carbon-6 by two levels!

Although the Dragon Country's Brain-like Chip was powerful, the 1nm Chip wasn't bad either; it could at least satisfy most smart tech companies.

As for smart combat systems, not to mention, the Dragon Country had plagiarized them all!

Therefore!

He believed that once this news was out, smart tech companies worldwide would weigh the pros and cons of both sides again!

"Yes!"

Lawton left in a hurry.

...

When the United States' Carbon-8 molecular material made its debut and Lawton announced the ban on all smart tech companies cooperating with the Dragon Country, the entire internet was instantly hit by a massive wave.

Countless internet trolls flooded the Longke Academy's official account.

[Retribution has arrived. You refused to cooperate with Musk last time; are you regretting it so much your guts are turning green now?]

[Come out and show yourselves. Others are already at Carbon-8, and you're still at Carbon-6?]

[Where's that old man surnamed Xia? He was incredibly arrogant last time, and now his old face is being slapped swollen!]

[With such a person as the president, there's no hope for your country's technology!]

Facing these people's malicious mockery, the Longke Academy's official account simply posted a Weibo message: Carbon-8 is not our goal.

Longke Academy's goal is Carbon-9. Currently, experts in the field of chemical materials are working hard to overcome the challenges, but it's in a confidential stage, so not much has been revealed.

However.

This sentence made the trolls boil with excitement.

In their eyes, this was the Longke Academy officially announcing that they were not researching Carbon-8.

[Haha, now you know the gap! Your country's top-tier material is only Carbon-6; of course, Carbon-8 isn't your goal, because your goal is Carbon-7!]

[LMAO, with this level, you still dare to talk big?]

[I suggest removing that old man from his position and letting him step down!!!]

Facing these people's malicious attacks, Xia Zhongxun ignored them.

Once Carbon-9 comes out, these people will naturally shut up.

At night.

After work.

Jiang Chen had just come out of the Descendant of the Dragon testing ground.

Checking the internet, he also learned about the news of the United States' Carbon-8.

"Is the progress that fast?"

Jiang Chen was a bit surprised.

Based on his knowledge of Carbon-N molecular materials, normal research would take six months to show progress.

Even if the United States went all out, it would take at least a few months.

But now, in less than a month, they had made another breakthrough.

It was incredibly fast.

"But it's just Carbon-8. Longke Academy is already synthesizing Carbon-9."

Jiang Chen wasn't worried.

The news from Shu Yin was that the lab had begun synthesizing Carbon-9.

Once the material was out, the first batch of Carbon-9 would all be allocated to the Descendant of the Dragon.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the entrance of the Qingyu Residential District.

He suddenly saw many people gathered there, not knowing what they were looking at.

Even Xue Yao was there watching the excitement.

"Xue Yao!"

Jiang Chen called out to her.

Qin Xueyao looked back and immediately ran over. "Hubby!"

She lunged into Jiang Chen's embrace.

Jiang Chen caught her with a happy face and patted her head. "Oh my, what's going on! You're like a little puppy."

"Someone was electrocuted to death over there."

"Sob, sob, so scary!"

Qin Xueyao rubbed her head against Jiang Chen's chest vigorously.

Electrocuted?

Jiang Chen was stunned.

He looked toward the nearby high-voltage electrical box. Was there a leak?

"I don't know. Let's go home quickly."

Xue Yao shook her head, looking very well-behaved.

During the days Jiang Chen wasn't home, she had noticed someone scouting the area.

Originally, Xue Yao wasn't sure what this guy wanted to do.

If it were just a thief or something, it wouldn't be right to electrocute him to death instantly.

But just now.

While upstairs, she actually saw the man installing a silenced gun inside a car!

Even through the dark glass, Xue Yao saw it instantly.

This made her suddenly remember the ten-million-dollar bounty on Jiang Chen.

"Dammit, I thought you were just a thief, but you're actually an assassin!"

"Die for me!"

Qin Xueyao instantly transformed from the Broom War God into the Mother of Thunder. Her pupils released lightning, instantly triggering the nearby high-voltage electrical box.

Miley!

A world-class assassin.

He had planned to make his move tonight.

He was electrocuted to death on the spot.

"No rush, I'll go check the situation."

Humans are naturally curious. Jiang Chen also walked over curiously, wanting to see how badly the person was electrocuted.

But he never expected that the elderly folks' curiosity would be even stronger; they firmly occupied the best viewing spots.

Jiang Chen tried to squeeze in for a long time but couldn't get through.

He thought about it.

He focused his breath and growled, "Everyone, make way! I am the father of the deceased!"

As soon as those words were spoken.

Everyone made way. The family of the deceased had arrived, so they had to let him through.
