Chapter 284 The Divine Realm Cannot Allow Such an Awesome Person to Exist
How many of these can you make in the short term?
When Lin Xuan saw the research group leader again, she had already followed Qiao Yajie to his private office.
This time, Lin Xuan also learned the real name of the research group leader through the nameplate on his desk: Luca Weinte.
"That depends on how much help you can provide me. If you can open up a batch of production lines specifically for me, the output should be around 10,000 units within three months."
Upon hearing this, Wayne shook his head.
"This is too slow. War is fleeting. Three months is enough time to change many things. Can we speed things up a bit? I need to get a production of 10,000 units within a month."
Lin Xuan did not agree immediately, but pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.
"If you are willing to provide me with a military factory, plus five hundred skilled workers, I might as well give it a try."
“There are assembly line factories in the Divine Realm. Although they are not as well-equipped as military factories, they are not far behind. Is this not acceptable?”
Lin Xuan shook her head.
"No, the manufacturing process of this device is extremely precise and cannot tolerate the slightest negligence. If it's just an assembly line factory, I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve the processing precision I envision. If the finished product doesn't perform as well as I expected, I won't take responsibility."
This statement essentially throws the problem back at the other party: if you're unwilling, then don't bother adjusting what I make if you're not satisfied.
After pondering for a while, Wayne finally had no choice but to compromise.
“Okay, I will help you contact the Qifa Division and have them find you a military factory in Faxuan City.”
To be honest, this matter was not difficult for Wayne. Although production was not under the jurisdiction of the Divine Realm, he was able to become the group leader in the research department. Lin Xuan did not believe that he did not have this much power.
The reason why he didn't want Lin Xuan to move the production of this device outside the Divine Realm was that Wayne didn't trust him. He wanted to keep him firmly under the control of the Divine Realm. Only in this way would Lin Xuan be the most valuable to him.
But how could Lin Xuan possibly let him have his way?
He didn't originally want this military factory to produce this device; he had a much bigger plan. How could he possibly move it under the nose of the Divine Realm for them to monitor?
If I were to do something underhanded later, wouldn't it be completely obvious to everyone?
Therefore, when it comes to fighting for her own interests, Lin Xuan will never back down an inch. I must have a military factory, and it must be far away from the Divine Realm, so far that you can't send anyone to monitor me.
"But Bai Bing, let me make this clear from the start."
"Hmm...you go first."
Wainte: ? ? ?
"Wayne's shock level +19!"
"Ahem... Let me make this clear from the start: I've given you what you wanted, but if I don't see what I want in a month..."
"Then you can send both me and Supervisor Qiao Yajie to a military court!"
Lin Xuan spoke with absolute certainty.
"Okay, I like your straightforward personality!"
A smile immediately appeared on Wayne's face, while Joachim was completely dumbfounded.
"Dude, what does this have to do with me? How did it get dragged into this?"
But it doesn't matter, nobody cares about his feelings.
Wayne stood up and personally escorted Lin Xuan to the office door, leaving him an address.
"The office of the Ministry of Justice in Faxuan City. After I've arranged things for you, go there to find them. They will cooperate with you to complete the next steps."
……
After Lin Xuan left the office, Wayne looked at the small device on the table and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Great! Now, our Divine Realm Research Group can finally stand up again."
Qiao Yajie also breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, the Bu territory had been trying to cut the budgets of various functional departments. This year, the cut was supposed to fall on their heads, but now it seems that the crisis has been temporarily resolved.
The research group's funding was already very tight, and the projects in recent years have been increasingly expensive, but the local authorities don't care about your difficulties. If you don't produce results, your expenses will be cut.
If these expenditures are cut further, the research speed of the Divine Realm will soon fall into a vicious cycle. Without funding, they will be unable to make any progress and will eventually lose all their voice in the Divine Realm.
Bai Bing's invention not only saved the battle from a gradual decline, but also pulled the research team back from the brink of death.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't happy. If he didn't have to maintain his image, he would have jumped for joy the moment he got the test results in the square.
But at this moment, Wayne asked Joachim another question.
"What do you think this kid is planning to do by asking us for the military factory?"
Qiao Yajie was taken aback. He was initially happy about this, but he immediately calmed down and started thinking about the answer to the question.
Both of them were shrewd and could not hide Lin Xuan's thoughts from them. After a little thought, Qiao Yajie came up with the most likely possibility.
"Is he planning to manufacture weapons illegally?"
Wainte remained noncommittal.
"It's probably true, maybe eight or nine out of ten."
He was just too excited and didn't consider the irrationality in Lin Xuan's words at all. Logically speaking, even if precision instruments were needed to produce these devices, Lin Xuan should have preferred the experimental production line provided by the Divine Realm.
What is a military factory?
That's where weapons and ammunition are produced on a large scale.
Why would a level-two researcher like him need a military factory?
However, Qiao Yajie quickly understood what Wayne meant. Since the other party had already seen through Lin Xuan's thoughts, but still agreed to the other party's unreasonable request, it meant that the team leader already had a new plan in mind.
"Didn't he ask us for people? Just give them to him. Send some of your own people in. As long as he's under our noses, let alone giving him a military factory, even if we give him a starport, what kind of trouble can that kid cause? If he's so capable, let him build an aircraft carrier in the military factory."
Qiao Yajie listened to the other party's analysis and thought it made sense. Suddenly, he remembered something.
"By the way, team leader, Bai Bing seems very interested in what's happening at the front. He even asked me about the rapid reaction force before. I think his purpose in wanting the military factory is probably to produce a batch of weapons and connect with the rapid reaction force."
"Okay, I understand. Make a record of this matter and also check the recent arms smuggling activities of the rapid reaction force. Of course, this should be a secret investigation. Let me know as soon as you have the results, and I will report the situation to the higher-ups in the Divine Realm."
The benefits that Lin Xuan's device can bring are enormous, so enormous that the Divine Realm can temporarily ignore the potential threat posed by Lin Xuan herself.
For truly talented individuals, Wayne always grants them certain privileges. He understands that the best way to retain these geniuses is to not impose restrictions on them.
But this doesn't mean he intends to let Lin Xuan be so unrestrained indefinitely.
"Keep him calm for now. If our people are quick, they should be able to get the core technology from him in about a month. Once we have the technology, we'll immediately remove him from the project. His ambitions are much greater than you and I can imagine. The Divine Realm can't tolerate someone as powerful as him."
With the approval from above, the document approval process was exceptionally fast. Lin Xuan only waited about a day before receiving an invitation from the Ministry of Justice.
The Qifa Division is in charge of the administration and urban planning of various cities, so it is most appropriate for them to arrange this matter. This way, they can separate Lin Xuan from the Divine Realm at a critical moment, and also make the Qifa Division the first person responsible after the incident. Wayne's plan is really shrewd.
With the military factory issue resolved, the next step is to arrange manpower for skilled workers.
Lin Xuan asked Wayne for 500 technicians, and Wayne still had to figure out how to arrange it.
But the difficulty in this matter is not that they don't have enough manpower; on the contrary, their current problem is that they have more manpower than they imagined.
"Five hundred people. The Qifa Division will send one hundred spies, the Divine Realm will send one hundred spies, and even the damned Bu territory will send spies in. What are you trying to do? Are you playing espionage? So this huge military factory is full of our own people, is that it?"
When Wayne saw the submitted list, he almost laughed out of anger.
This isn't about assigning manpower to the other side; it's about sending a group of people to monitor them at all times.
If they play these games, even if Bai Bing really has a problem, she won't want to expose any evidence against herself, right?
"Remove them all! Remove them all and let them elect again!"
Wayne threw the list directly into the shredder. He couldn't even imagine how spectacular it would be if so many spies were sent out just to monitor Bai Bing alone.
But there's nothing we can do about it. In the past two days, as the effects of the computing power amplification device have been continuously tested, all three governments have developed a strong interest in this little gadget. Of course, they have also developed a strong interest in the person who created it.
Bu Shudi saw a business opportunity in it, while Qifa Si saw it as a way to consolidate their political position. None of the three families wanted to let this kid named Bai Bing do what he wanted so easily.
The end result was that it took three full days after Lin Xuan received the authorization from the military factory for technicians to start coming to him to report for duty.
The three parties have been negotiating to reduce the proportion of spies, since they've sent people there who are all spies. If Lin Xuan finds out, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
Ultimately, the three parties reached an agreement to maintain the original number of participants, but neither party was allowed to disclose the specific number or list.
The reason for this result is entirely due to a statement made by a researcher during the vote.
"Anyway, Bai Bing only said he wanted skilled workers. If the spies we send can do skilled work, wouldn't that meet his requirements? What's wrong with that?"
Upon reflection, everyone realized that this made perfect sense, so they felt justified in starting to make the arrangements.
The military factory was located in the suburbs of Faxuan City, far from the municipal center, and in the early days, the administrative power was not even in the hands of Faxuan City.
Later, when the Civilization War began, the Mind Earth began to expand its army on a large scale. In addition, the administrative pressure on the Enlightenment Bureau was enormous, and the original 341 cities were merged down to less than 21.
The administrative jurisdiction of Faxuan City has expanded nearly tenfold, and these suburbs have naturally all been incorporated into their territory.
Lin Xuan stood on the high platform of the military factory. Below, technicians wearing yellow vests stood haphazardly on the open ground. Some of them would occasionally look up at the sky, seemingly waiting for it to get dark so they could go home and rest.
The crowd was very noisy; to describe these technicians in one sentence, they were simply disorganized and undisciplined.
But Lin Xuan knew very well that this was all an act for her.
"Alright, all of you, stop pretending. It's a shame you're not making movies."
As soon as Lin Xuan spoke, she directly revealed the identities of these people, but the crowd below seemed not to have heard her and continued doing what they were doing.
"I don't care who you are or what your purpose is in coming here, but what I applied for from above is five hundred skilled workers. As long as you can work for me, I can overlook everything else. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The technicians remained lazy. They were all professionally trained spies who had to conceal their identities even at the last moment. Who knew if Lin Xuan was deliberately trying to trick them?
But what these people probably never imagined was that Lin Xuan wasn't bluffing them; he genuinely knew exactly who the undercover agents sent to his side were.
Because the moment he uttered those words, Lin Xuan's mind was flooded with shock notifications.
Although the expressions on the faces of these people showed no signs of discomfort, Lin Xuan had a complete grasp of their inner thoughts.
After glancing at the backend data, Lin Xuan began to eliminate names from the list one by one.
If these people were specifically sent to monitor me, they would most likely not use their real names, but the names provided by the Shock Value backend are all based on their real names.
Therefore, Lin Xuan only needs to glance at the spies to be able to identify most of them.
"421...tsk tsk, they really think highly of me."
Lin Xuan looked at the list in her hand, which was covered in dense black marks, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
He had considered that the three major governments might be wary of him, but he really didn't expect their wariness to be this extreme.
Out of more than 500 people, only about 70 used their real names.
This is only his first round of screening. These seventy-odd technicians using their real names do not necessarily mean that they are not people dispatched by the three major government departments.
For some reason, a strange thought suddenly popped into Lin Xuan's mind.
"Could it be... that none of these five hundred people are actually skilled workers?"
That's really messing with people's mentality!
If there isn't even a single qualified technician available, then he'll have to activate his second backup plan.
