Chapter 285 Fang Family
Chapter 285 Fang Family
"No, I absolutely disagree with this!"
Mind Earth: Bui City.
Fang Lin, who was sitting in the office, suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring intently at her younger brother who was already half a head taller than her.
"Fang Yuan, fighting on the front lines is no child's play. You're my only brother. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Mom and Dad?"
Fang Yuan pursed his lips and casually leaned back on the sofa, completely ignoring what his sister had said.
"I've been very busy with work in the Divine Realm lately and haven't had time for you, so don't cause me any trouble!"
Fang Lin's words seemed to have triggered something in Fang Yuan's heart, and he stood up abruptly.
"Fine, I'm the one causing you trouble in everything. If you think I'm a problem, why don't you send me to the front lines?"
"Just because you are the agent of both the Divine Realm and the Divine Realm?"
“Look at my friends who are the same age as me, they all have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, so why should I have to stay at home all the time?”
"In the end, you still treat me like a child."
Fang Lin listened to her younger brother's complaints and sighed helplessly.
“Fang Yuan, you are different from them. You are the only bloodline of the Fang family. Once you die, do you know that our family line will be completely cut off?”
"Even if it is passed down, so what? Sister, don't forget how our Fang family ancestors became one of the three main families. Was it through your so-called inheritance? It was through daring to fight and climb up from the bottom step by step. If I don't go to the battlefield now, our Fang family will be driven out of the main family position sooner or later."
As Fang Yuan spoke, he gestured to his sister.
"If I don't go to the front lines, I'll be ashamed to sit in this position of the head of the household!"
Seemingly moved by her brother's words, Fang Lin rubbed her head helplessly and finally decided to give in.
"Alright, the Divine Realm Science Department has just made a new research breakthrough that can improve computing power, allowing you to control the fleet to launch attacks remotely. You should use this time to hone your willpower and improve your control over psionic energy. Once their research makes further progress, I'll send you to the front lines!"
……
The military factory started operations the very next day.
However, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to have them produce anything. Instead, she led the more than 500 people in physical training.
Five kilometers, pull-ups, weighted cross-country running...
After a day of hustle and bustle, the spies from the three major government departments were completely exhausted.
Didn't we agree that we were here to be technicians? Why are we doing physical training?
Lin Xuan also gave a relatively reasonable explanation for this.
"What do you know? This is to test your willpower. Our work requires high precision and cannot afford any mistakes. I'm letting you get used to this feeling of oxygen deprivation in advance!"
Upon hearing this, no one dared to say anything, and they could only obediently follow Lin Xuan to do physical training.
While Lin Xuan was doing her work, she was also observing the reactions of each person in the group.
The physical training regimen he set for this group of people was far beyond what was required. This meant that ordinary people simply could not withstand such high-intensity physical training, and only those who had received training in the military could endure it.
This also serves to verify whether his prior assessment of these individuals' identities was accurate.
After completing the entire operation, almost all of the more than 500 people were exhausted, but upon closer observation, Lin Xuan discovered that most of them still had some energy left.
Well, it turns out the whole team is undercover!
However, he didn't care anymore. Since the other party dared to play the game of having all their people undercover, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't tolerate it.
For the next three days, Lin Xuan did nothing but lead these 500-plus people in physical training.
Production? What's that? Let's see if everyone can run with heavy loads for a few days first.
This whole situation left the spies completely bewildered, and the top officials of the three governments were even more confused.
"No, what exactly is Bai Bing doing? Is he planning to give us training?"
The person in charge of the Bu territory raised questions, putting all the pressure on the Divine Realm Research Department. Then the head of the Research Department turned his attention to the team leader, Wayne, waiting for him to give him a reasonable explanation.
"This...maybe...probably."
At this moment, Wayne was also devastated. The other party had promised him to produce 10,000 units of equipment within a month. He originally thought that Lin Xuan would race against time to speed up the work, but judging from the other party's attitude, it seemed that she was not in a hurry at all!
"In any case, the operating costs of the military factory will have to come from your group's research funding."
The local people are starting their traditional arts again. No matter what you're doing, as long as you pay, the local people won't object.
After the meeting, Wayne immediately found Joaquin and asked him to contact Bai Bing as soon as possible.
“Just call him… no, go there in person and tell him to stop doing physical training there and start producing something.”
Qiao Yajie nodded repeatedly in agreement.
To be honest, he was also puzzled by Lin Xuan's actions, and even began to doubt whether this guy named Bai Bing could actually produce amplifiers.
Are you kidding them?
Soon, he personally visited Lin Xuan, who was training soldiers at the arsenal.
"What, you want me to start production?"
Qiao Yajie nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, you see, you've been at the military factory for quite some time now, and there are less than twenty days left until the one-month deadline you promised. The higher-ups have been paying close attention to your progress, and we hope you won't make things difficult for us."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll get them to start production today."
Hearing Lin Xuan's accurate reply, Qiao Yajie finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Alright, then I'll wait for good news."
After finally getting rid of the other party, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk, I was originally planning to wait a few more days, but it seems I have to speed things up now!"
Lin Xuan never expected that these high-ranking officials would care so much about her thing. It seems that the mechanical Earth has put a lot of pressure on them on the battlefield.
This group has now placed all their bets on us. If we succeed, the entire course of the battle will be turned around.
"Just to let you know, this afternoon's physical training session has been cancelled."
When the spies heard the news, they couldn't hide their smiles.
"Thank God, finally, this damned physical training is finally over."
But their smiles lasted less than a minute before Lin Xuan's next words shattered their beautiful illusions.
"Starting this afternoon, everyone should report to the production workshop to begin production training."
Everyone:? ? ?
Production training?
What is that thing?
"Although I don't know what kind of trouble this kid is planning to cause this time, I have a very bad feeling."
This statement was unanimously approved by everyone present.
Soon, everyone gathered in the production workshop, where Lin Xuan had been waiting for a long time.
After everyone had arrived, Lin Xuan finally spoke.
"Let's put the physical training for the next few days on hold. Starting today, we will officially begin production of the amplifiers."
"But before that, I need to see how capable you are. Today's task is for each of you to produce one hundred rounds of rifle ammunition, one hundred rounds of pistol ammunition, and ten rounds of sniper rifle ammunition. Whoever finishes first can leave early. Those who don't finish, I'll stay here and work with you."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Lin Xuan's words!
Not a buddy?
Is this what you said in human language?
You want us to die!
Normally, it would be quite good if a person could produce one of the three things he mentioned in a day, but this guy went and made them do all three at once.
Doesn't this cost their lives?
Seeing the constipated expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly.
"What's wrong? Can't you do it? It seems the people the Enlightenment Bureau found for me aren't very capable. Never mind, I'll contact them in a bit and have them replace you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately waved their hands.
"Yes, yes, of course I can do it!"
Are you kidding me? If people found out that they came here to be spies but got fired by their boss because they were too incompetent, would they still be able to work in the spy industry?
Left with no other choice, they had to obey orders.
However, some people still raised objections.
“Mr. Bai Bing, I think your request is unreasonable.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan looked at the person with great interest.
"Oh, then tell me, what's unreasonable about it?"
"First of all, our mission here is to produce amplifiers, not bullets, which is not what we agreed on beforehand."
Lin Xuan sighed and shrugged.
"Haven't I already explained this to you? Amplifiers are manufactured with very high precision, and the materials are very precious. There's no room for error. How can I entrust you with the production materials for amplifiers until you've proven your capabilities to me?"
Lin Xuan's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving the other party speechless for a moment.
"Then you shouldn't be producing bullets! What do you need these bullets for? To resell arms? You could have asked us to produce other items; wouldn't that have been a good way to test our capabilities?"
Lin Xuan laughed immediately upon hearing this.
"Have you forgotten where you are? This is a military factory. If we don't produce bullets, do you expect us to produce rag dolls?"
Everyone was silent when they heard this.
It seems... there is some truth to that!
The military factory even had readily available materials for producing bullets; there was indeed nothing more suitable here than producing bullets.
Left with no other option, the spies reported the situation truthfully to the divine realm, leaving the decision to them.
"What? Bai Bing is producing weapons bullets in a military factory?"
"What is he planning to do? Rebel?"
Upon receiving this news, Qifa Si was extremely angry.
"He must immediately stop his absurd behavior and shut down all projects related to Bai Bing!"
The unauthorized production of weapons is absolutely prohibited in any country or civilization.
Especially now, during times of war.
Lin Xuan's actions have crossed their bottom line. If it were anyone else, they would have immediately dispatched troops to suppress her without any discussion.
However, the divine realm still intends to protect him.
Fang Lin coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to her.
"Actress, do you have a different opinion?"
Fang Lin nodded slightly, gestured to everyone, and then stood up.
"Gentlemen, I'll say it again: in these extraordinary times, we need this kind of device that can turn the tide of battle more than ever before. So I think we can grant the other side certain privileges as long as it's harmless."
Before the representative of the Buju area could even speak, the Judicial and Administrative Division, which holds administrative and judicial powers, could no longer remain silent.
"No big deal? What a joke! Bai Bing is practically starting a rebellion, and you, woman, are still telling me it's no big deal? Do you expect him to lead his soldiers all the way to Faxuan City before you'll send troops to suppress him?"
Fang Lin's gaze turned cold as she looked at the person who had spoken.
"Director Gai, your words are a bit unfounded. Don't you all know the situation of the hundreds of people under Bai Bing's command? If the Qifa Division and the Bu Territory hadn't distrusted the people of my Divine Realm, would all five hundred-plus people be undercover agents?"
"You treat Bai Bing like this, and you expect him to obey your every request? That's wishful thinking. If I were in his shoes, and I found that the three major governments distrusted him so much, it would be perfectly reasonable for him to do something that is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant."
Upon hearing this, Director Gai slammed his fist on the table.
"Fang Lin, what are you pretending to be a good person for? It's like you didn't send anyone to monitor Bai Bing."
"It's perfectly reasonable for me to monitor my own people. But for you to send people to monitor them, that's overstepping your authority. Do you really think my divine realm is without people?"
As the argument between the two intensified, everyone wanted to offer advice, but they were afraid of getting involved themselves.
There was no other way; neither Fang Lin nor Director Gai were people to be trifled with, and no one could afford to offend either of them.
One was the representative of the divine realm, and the other was the highest administrative official of the Enlightenment Bureau. When the two got into a dispute, the only one who could persuade them to stay together was Bu Shudi, who was also one of the three major government departments.
Everyone's attention was now focused on a smiling fat man sitting not far away.
This person is Qi Huanqing, the God of Wealth of the Mind Earth and the actual ruler of the Bu territory.
Of course, people privately prefer to call this fat man the Smiling Buddha, because no matter when, you can always see a smile on his face. As for whether his smile is good or bad to you, that depends on the situation.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Qi Huanqing knew that he could no longer just stand by and watch the show.
So he slowly moved the chair back, revealing his large body.
"Hey... you two, isn't it unnecessary to argue over something like this?"
When Fang Lin saw that the God of Wealth had spoken, she knew that the matter was almost certain, so she simply sat back down in her seat. On the other hand, Director Gai's face looked quite ugly.
"Fatty Qi, this matter has nothing to do with you. They are challenging the authority of our Qifa Division. No matter what, this door to unauthorized arms production must not be opened!"
Director Gai wanted to argue with the two men, but Qi Huanqing didn't give him the chance at all. He waved his hand with a smile on his face.
“Miss Fang Lin is right. We do need an opportunity to change the course of the battle. Let Bai Bing do whatever he wants. Anyway, we’ve given him a month to deliver those 10,000 sets of equipment. If he can’t deliver them within a month, we can settle accounts later. It’s not too late.”
