Chapter 174 Report to Mr. Lin: Preliminary suggestions regarding your household's garbage sorti
Li Zhenguo carried the three "divine artifacts" and ran wildly, his posture not like that of a triumphant general, but more like that of an ancient ferocious beast relentlessly pursuing him.
He rushed out of the alley in one breath, his figure almost leaping into the black Hongqi sedan that had been waiting for a long time. The special license plate silently revealed its identity in the twilight.
"Drive! Back to Xishan! As fast as you can!"
When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and distorted, and every word trembled with extreme excitement and tension.
The driver didn't dare hesitate for a moment, flooring the accelerator. The engine roared and shot out like an arrow, instantly merging into the rolling traffic of Beijing.
Only after the car smoothly entered the dedicated lane leading to Xishan did Li Zhenguo's violently heaving chest gradually calm down.
He lowered his head and stared at the three "trash" items in his arms that still emitted a faint, precious glow.
A strong, unreal sense of illusion once again seized his mind.
He... really took three artifacts from that gentleman's "garbage dump" that were enough to overturn the world order?
He reached out, his fingertips trembling as he stroked the cold, icy surface of the "deep-sea silver".
He brought his nose closer and took a deep breath of the "Ice Jade Snow Ginseng" and its medicinal fragrance that could penetrate the soul.
Finally, his gaze settled on the unassuming Philosopher's Stone, which was even stained with rust and grease from a kitchen knife.
All of this is true.
An indescribable wave of ecstasy swept over his entire brain!
It's out!
This time, we've really struck it rich!
China is about to rise because of this!
His brain had begun to work at an uncontrollable high speed, frantically planning the future of these three famous artifacts.
"Deep-sea sunken silver" will be used to create the core transmission system for the next generation of energy weapons, which will achieve an exponential leap in energy efficiency!
The "Ice Jade Snow Ginseng" must be immediately handed over to the country's top biological and genetic laboratories to attempt to decipher the life code it contains! If successful, the limits of human lifespan will be completely rewritten!
And this "Philosopher's Stone"...
Its value is immeasurable by any standard!
With it, China will be completely freed from the shackles of scarce resources!
What kind of high-purity silicon wafers are needed for chip manufacturing?
What special high-temperature resistant alloys are indispensable for aircraft engines!
None of that is a problem anymore!
We can conjure it up with just a handful of soil!
The more Li Zhenguo thought about it, the higher his blood temperature rose, and his body began to feel slightly hot with excitement.
He seemed to have already seen the day when the Chinese nation would stand at the top of the world, looking down on all living beings!
Just then.
"Cough...cough cough..."
A weak cough came from the other side of the carriage.
Li Zhenguo turned his head and saw that the two experts who had been hurriedly carried into the car by the special forces soldiers had finally regained consciousness.
The paleontologist was in slightly better condition, but his face was ashen, his eyes were unfocused, and he looked as if his soul had been ripped out.
The situation of Academician Zhang, a leading figure in physics, is much more serious.
When he woke up, his eyes were empty and dull, and his pupils showed no focus.
He was just muttering to himself unconsciously.
"It's fake...it's all fake...physics doesn't lie to me..."
"The law of entropy increase... the second law of thermodynamics is the ironclad rule of the universe... the end of the universe is heat death... how is that possible... how could there be something like the 'Stone of Annihilation' that violates such axioms..."
"And that...that Philosopher's Stone...mass cannot be created out of thin air...it...it violates the law of conservation of mass-energy..."
Looking at his crumbling faith and the fact that he might go completely insane at any moment, Li Zhenguo felt a headache coming on.
He knew very well what a disruptive impact everything that happened in that small courtyard today was for these old experts who regarded science as their lifelong faith.
He sighed, reached out and patted Academician Zhang on the shoulder, trying to comfort him: "Old Zhang, don't think about it so much. There are always things in this world that are beyond our current understanding."
"We... need to learn to accept it."
However, Academician Zhang ignored his words.
His gaze suddenly became like iron filings drawn to a magnet, clinging tightly to the "Philosopher's Stone" in Li Zhenguo's arms.
The next moment, a terrifyingly fanatical light erupted from his empty eyes!
He acted as if he had gone mad, snatching the stone from Li Zhenguo's arms!
"No! I must be thinking wrong somewhere!"
Academician Zhang held the Philosopher's Stone high before his eyes, examining it with an almost obsessive gaze, as if scrutinizing a naked deity.
"It must follow some higher-dimensional physical laws that we have not yet discovered!"
"As long as... as long as I can thoroughly understand it, I can open a door to a completely new world of physics!"
"Unified field theory! Grand unified theory! I... I might become the greatest physicist after Newton and Einstein!"
Academician Zhang became increasingly excited as he spoke, his breathing became rapid, and his cheeks flushed.
His previously dull gaze was now completely ignited by a mad flame called "seeking knowledge" and "exploration".
Li Zhenguo was speechless as he watched him seamlessly switch from a state of "mental breakdown" to that of a "scientific research fanatic".
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the mental resilience of these top scientists.
Or rather, we underestimated their almost pathological obsession with "truth".
"Old Li! Back to the lab immediately! I need top-level access! I need to access the nation's most sophisticated quantum microscope and particle collider!"
Academician Zhang suddenly turned his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Li Zhenguo, and roared in an unquestionable commanding tone.
"I'm determined to dig out the 'God's code' hidden inside this stone!"
Looking at his frenzied appearance, Li Zhenguo could only nod with a wry smile.
He knew he couldn't stop it.
He didn't want to stop him either.
Because he was also eager to know what earth-shattering secrets were hidden in these treasures from Mr. Lin's "garbage dump".
The vehicle sped along and soon arrived at the secret base located underground in the western mountains.
This place is heavily guarded and is the scientific research heart of the entire country of China.
Li Zhenguo used his highest authority to open the base's most core S-level laboratory to the two experts.
Academician Zhang, holding the Philosopher's Stone like a long-lost son, was the first to rush inside.
The paleomaterials expert, holding the "Ice Jade Snow Ginseng," followed closely behind with reverent steps and careful movements.
Li Zhenguo personally escorted the "deep-sea sunken silver" to the materials laboratory of the weapons research and development department.
The entire dormant underground fortress was instantly activated by the arrival of these three "artifacts".
Countless alarms and notifications resounded throughout the base, and hundreds of China's top scientific researchers were urgently transferred from their respective posts.
They gazed at the three extraordinary substances emanating a mysterious aura before them, their eyes gleaming with the same light as Academician Zhang's—a mad flame combining thirst for knowledge and possessiveness, as if pilgrims had finally witnessed the miracle they had long awaited.
An unprecedented scientific research storm, revolving around Mr. Lin's "garbage," has begun.
Li Zhenguo stood outside the heavy observation window of the S-level laboratory, looking at the bustling scene inside.
A relieved smile finally appeared on his extremely tired face.
He knew that from this day forward, China's technological development would likely be completely skewed.
Moreover, it is rushing headlong in a mysterious and magnificent direction that no one can predict.
He picked up the internal communication phone on the table and connected to his secretariat.
"Prepare a report with the highest level of confidentiality for me."
His voice regained its former composure and strength.
"Report Title..."
He pondered for a moment, and the image of Mr. Lin's nonchalant yet slightly disdainful expression involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
"...Let's call it 'Preliminary Suggestions on Mr. Lin's Household's 'Garbage Sorting' Work'."
……
Meanwhile, inside the courtyard house.
Lin Fan was lying in a rocking chair, leisurely sipping the tea that Fang Qingxue had just brewed.
He watched Li Zhenguo and his group flee in disarray, and the two old experts being dragged away by soldiers like sacks, and stroked his chin in confusion.
"That's really strange."
"They're just a few useless pieces of junk, why are you all acting like they've seen a ghost?"
He shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand the thought process of these mortals at all.
He felt that the employees in his own yard were easier to communicate with. Although they were sometimes a bit noisy, at least they were all worldly-wise and wouldn't make a fuss.
He stretched comfortably.
After getting rid of Li Zhenguo and his gang of "troublemakers," the whole world became peaceful.
He can finally enjoy his hard-won, perfect retirement.
However, he did not know.
A "big trouble" far greater than Li Zhenguo's visit has quietly descended upon us.
It's located 10,000 meters above the capital city.
A ship silently tore through the dimensions of space and appeared within the atmosphere.
Its shape resembles an upside-down, jet-black sword, and its hull is composed of unknown black crystals, exuding a sense of aggression and oppression.
On the spacecraft's bridge.
A man of immense height, clad in magnificent golden armor, stood before a huge porthole, gazing down at the bustling, dazzling human city below.
He had a third, tightly closed vertical eye on his forehead, and his face bore an undisguised contempt and arrogance. His gaze was like that of a god scrutinizing a group of busy ants.
"Hmph, so this is the home planet of that inferior civilization?"
He spoke, his voice cold and authoritative, echoing in the empty bridge.
"So fragile it's almost impossible to break."
Beside him, a subordinate also clad in armor knelt on one knee, respectfully reporting, "Reporting to 'Divine General'! The 'Law Detector' shows that the source coordinates of the 'Creation of Heaven' level law fluctuation that caught our attention are precisely at this location on this planet!"
The subordinate raised his hand and pointed to a flashing red dot on the porthole.
The location marked by that dot of light was none other than Lin Fan's courtyard house!
The man, revered as a "divine general," looked in the direction the other was pointing.
The third vertical eye on his forehead suddenly opened!
A pure golden divine light instantly pierced through the clouds and the barriers of time and space, precisely projecting itself onto that small courtyard.
However, the next second.
His eternally arrogant expression suddenly changed!
"Um?!"
