In the living room.
The morning sunlight, streaming through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, spilled into the room, casting several square patches of golden area on the gleaming floor tiles.
Sun Cheng, his eyes bloodshot, found it somewhat dazzling and squinted involuntarily before finding Lin Chuan’s recent remarks somewhat unbelievable. “You have more?” he said.
Even the two staff members beside him were startled.
The ‘Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ was still a subject of intense study by many rocket launcher experts at the research institute.
You say you have more?
Lin Chuan seemed to anticipate the reactions of Sun Cheng and the others, smiling as he nodded his head.
Hiss—
After Lin Chuan confirmed, Sun Cheng’s back, slightly hunched from last night’s exhaustion, immediately straightened up, and his whole demeanor became more spirited, though his speech was somewhat stumbling, “Lin, you… I… this…”
“Old Sun, have some water first.”
Lin Chuan poured a glass of water for Old Sun and pushed it towards him.
Old Sun grinned awkwardly, took a big gulp of water, exhaled a long breath, and then felt somewhat relieved. “Lin, what other technologies do you have?” he asked.
Lin Chuan pondered briefly before saying, “For example, ‘Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles’.”
“Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles?”
Old Sun’s eyes widened, and his bushy eyebrows rose, his breath growing heavier. “Lin, this is no joking matter!” he exclaimed.
“I’m not joking.”
Lin Chuan said earnestly.
Old Sun fell silent, once again sizing up Lin Chuan from head to toe.
Lin Chuan’s simple and unpretentious attire revealed no secrets, and his mid-twenties face seemed somewhat youthful in Old Sun’s eyes.
He searched for any traits that might associate Lin Chuan with the term ‘genius.’
At the same time, he was also recalling details about Lin Chuan.
On the flight from Capital City to Anling, he had already looked up Lin Chuan’s information.
The files showed—
From childhood to adulthood, Lin Chuan had nothing to do with the words ‘genius’ or ‘prodigy.’ He was very low-profile; it wasn’t until he entered society that he began to show his exceptional talents.
Therefore, Old Sun concluded that this was a young man who knew how to bide his time.
To sum it up with an idiom—
If he did not speak, it was as if he didn’t exist; but when he did, he shocked everyone.
Having met him, Old Sun affirmed this thought from Lin Chuan’s behavior and speech.
Only.
Just the development of the ‘Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ was shocking enough, but now there was also the development of the ‘Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile.’ Old Sun found it hard to come up with a reasonable explanation.
The Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile is a missile capable of high-speed flight, usually traveling faster than the speed of sound, and is primarily used to attack surface vessels, especially large watercraft like aircraft carriers.
You must know that global powers place significant emphasis on naval strength.
This type of anti-ship ballistic missile has the powerful ability to strike aircraft carrier fleets and is a top priority in the military development of maritime powers.
The National Institute was also researching this, consuming large amounts of human and material resources.
Now, Lin Chuan claimed to have developed a ‘Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile.’ If it weren’t for the blueprints of the ‘Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ he’d seen earlier, Sun Cheng would certainly have cursed—
What bullsh*t are you spouting?
That is not like the ‘Hand-cranked Lithography Machine’ or ‘Two-dimensional foil’ depicted in novels.
In the real world.
All these require genuine investment of copious resources for research before any breakthrough can be achieved.
Sun Cheng pondered for a long time.
He looked up, gazing through the balcony’s floor-to-ceiling windows, seeing the deep blue sky dotted with cotton-like clouds, and the dazzling golden light hurting his eyes.
He felt somewhat unreal.
—The world has gone mad!
The world must have gone mad!
How could a single person possibly develop a ‘Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ with a range of up to 600 kilometers and a ‘Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile’?
After a whole minute of silence.
Sun Cheng decided to give Lin Chuan a chance to explain and himself a chance to dream—what if it was true?
“Lin, your ‘Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile’…”
He trailed off, but the implication was clear.
Lin Chuan understood what he meant and continued, “Old Sun, I know you have your doubts, but you should have investigated me and be aware of some of my technologies.”
Sun Cheng nodded, “I’m aware, the… criminal skills you possess are quite extensive.”
Lin Chuan went on, “You should know that I am a hacker.”
“Yes, I’m aware—you once helped Han River Province defeat the foreign hacker organization AW in a cyber war, emerging victorious. Using your hacking skills, you even counterattacked the Morgan Group, eventually capturing two of Morgan Group’s companies operating in Han River,” replied Sun Cheng, recounting with familiarity.
“So, it would make sense that I could access some information on military weaponry, wouldn’t it?” Lin Chuan asked, looking at Sun Cheng.
Sun Cheng met Lin Chuan’s clear and sincere gaze, mulling it over for a while, “It makes sense, but your rocket launcher seems to be a cut above the current state of the art.”
The reasoning was somewhat far-fetched.
But indeed, it could explain some part of it.
