Guo Yi fell silent at Elder Zhou's question.
Shortly after entering the sci-fi museum in his mind back then, he also discovered this problem.
Many of the technological knowledge in his mind had actual prototypes that could be found in various movies, comics, and games, looking similar or identical.
The difference was that he could realize them in reality after studying them.
Whereas others could only express them in artistic forms.
However, he had already said this in front of Elder Zhou, Section Chief Zhou, and He Zhijun!
Why was Elder Zhou bringing it up again so solemnly and privately?
Guo Yi was a bit dazed for a moment.
Meanwhile, Elder Zhou looked at Guo Yi, who was caught between silence and bewilderment, and sighed inwardly: He really is still too young...
The source of the products Guo Yi displayed was already curious enough.
As a result, this idiot actually admitted in front of so many people that many of his black technologies were the same as the technologies in certain movies, comics, and games.
He even claimed that as long as he had the time and mindset, he could reverse-engineer certain designated technological products...
Was he trying to invite trouble for himself?
Or did he think this old fellow had lived too long?
In movies, comics, and games, how many things were individuals exceptionally eager for?
How many things were collectives eager for?
How many things was the world eager for?
If this were to actually leak out, it would undoubtedly set the stage for World War III.
And it would be the kind of war that couldn't be avoided!
After all, considering Guo Yi's age, as long as a dozen years or so passed, the technological gap between collectives would become completely immeasurable.
This gap could very well be an army group of land, naval, and air forces battling a newborn infant...
It would be a suppression upon suppression, a suppression that could be played out in a hundred and eight different ways.
As for his own side, counting those old companions, no one would risk offending them to forcibly control Guo Yi.
As for the future?
Once Guo Yi's grand momentum was established in the future, no one would dare offend him either.
After all, whether a country's development had someone to point the way or not made a world of difference!
However, the more Elder Zhou thought about it, the uglier his expression became. There were simply too many troublesome matters!
Therefore, he couldn't help complaining to Guo Yi: "Can you be a bit more mindful?
I trust the old companions, but those disciples and little Qin...
Sigh~"
"No, Elder Zhou, what does it matter?" Guo Yi said with a bitter face and a depressed expression: "In a place like this, you're still worried about me getting assassinated?
Then Old He might as well cut his own throat, letting me get assassinated right inside my own home..."
"You..." Hearing Guo Yi's words, Elder Zhou shook his head helplessly: "Forget it. You just need to remember that your products resemble the black technologies in movies, comics, and games only in appearance, not necessarily in function.
More importantly, you cannot say that you have the ability to manufacture those black technologies from works of art.
Understand?"
"Oh~"
Watching Guo Yi's indifferent and perfunctory attitude, Elder Zhou was so angry that he rubbed the boy's hair.
If he hadn't been worried about breaking something, Elder Zhou would have wanted to beat Guo Yi up!
Once his anger subsided, Elder Zhou couldn't help but carefully urge Guo Yi again: "Remember, you don't have the ability to fully replicate the black technologies in those works of art!
Sigh, this wave will probably require dragging all the old guys in to help you hold the line.
Stop blowing your cover anymore. If you blow it again, it won't be you who dies, but us old fogies!"
"Mm, understood."
Guo Yi nodded, indicating that he would remember Elder Zhou's words.
As for the underlying twists and turns, if he didn't understand, he didn't understand. Anyway, he had remembered them and would just do as Elder Zhou instructed, and that would be enough.
Elder Zhou nodded, and then suddenly brought up another matter: "Right, regarding the matter of your biological parents..."
"Oh, I know.
I knew a long time ago, I specifically checked."
Guo Yi spread his hands, a trace of sorrow mixed into his nonchalance: "Anyway, they live their lives, and I live mine.
Unless we verify DNA, who knows if they are my biological parents?
Since they took the initiative to abandon me back then and never had the heart to look for me later, let's just leave each other alone.
Besides, with my current identity, isn't an orphan background pretty good...
And now I have no worries about food and clothing, and I can do whatever I want, isn't that great too?"
Elder Zhou looked at Guo Yi, who looked nonchalant on the outside but felt sorrowful on the inside, sighed, and for a moment didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only silently pat his shoulder.
Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family chores; it was just that frustrating.
After a moment of silence, Elder Zhou had said what should be said and what shouldn't be said.
He let the others return to the conference room to continue discussions.
Then, once everyone was seated, Elder Zhou said with a stern and domineering expression: "What you heard about Guo Yi just now stays in this room. Whoever shoots their mouth off will be dealt with for treason and crimes against humanity.
I will personally go to Epang Palace to explain this later.
At the same time, our mobilization method will be that of military personnel.
Does anyone have an objection?"
Elder Zhao and the other national treasures narrowed their eyes upon hearing Elder Zhou's words, and simultaneously sized Guo Yi up secretly: It seems Elder Zhou can't hold the line alone and needs them to pitch in as well.
This Guo Yi, his brain worked well sometimes and poorly others...
As for the so-called military mobilization method.
It was very simple and brutal: staged death.
Therefore, as soon as Elder Zhou finished asking, little Qin stood up first and asked: "Are we included too?"
"Who told you to come in?"
"..."
Little Qin sat down with a crying face, simultaneously entering self-isolation mode.
Aside from little Qin, those disciples only caused a brief commotion before quieting down.
Their attitude was also very clear: listen to Elder Zhou, and there will be candy.
After waiting for a moment, seeing that no one had any questions, Elder Zhou spoke directly to Guo Yi: "Continuing the previous topic, what do you want us to do?"
"Ah? Oh~"
Guo Yi was just eating melons when Elder Zhou suddenly called on him.
Only then did he react, remembering that he had just finished introducing the mecha body and hadn't made it clear what he needed Elder Zhou and the others to do.
So Guo Yi opened the projection again, but this time it wasn't the projection of the entire mecha body, but rather blueprints and schematics of various physical missiles: "One is the physical ammunition, which requires a new fuel formula and explosive formula.
I researched half of it before, but because I didn't have anywhere to do live testing back then, it was shelved.
Now I need people to help me refine and test it.
As for the types, you can figure them out, but the focus is armor-piercing shells."
Pausing for a moment, Guo Yi opened the design drawings of various attachments and the internal perspective view of the Gundam: "The missile pods need to be recoverable and reloadable. I can only provide the framework for this part, and you need to fill in the other details.
The same goes for the mecha body; I've laid out the main circuits, but you need to handle the overall wiring and stuff. I won't waste time on that."
With that, Guo Yi nodded at Elder Zhou.
Following that, Elder Zhou directly arranged: "Old Xue, you lead the team responsible for circuit layout and ammunition pods.
Old Zhao, you lead the team on the formulas."
Pausing, Elder Zhou looked over at the group of disciples: "Drone technology disassembly, chip disguise schemes, new basic material formulas, precision mother-machine systems, and a civilian version of high-energy compressed batteries.
You guys negotiate and divide yourselves into groups for these projects, and report directly to Old Zhao afterward.
That's it, get started!"
Afterward, Elder Zhou stood up and left.
The others also left in twos and threes, walking together.
Guo Yi scratched his head and caught up with Elder Zhou: "Elder Zhou!"
Hearing Guo Yi call out to him, Elder Zhou stopped in his tracks: "What is it?"
"What is chip disguise?"
"Isn't it because of you!" Elder Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "That chip of yours is a quantum chip, not a regular chip.
Since we can't just leave it unused, we can only find a way to disguise it as a regular chip.
Otherwise, if we release it directly, won't it cause trouble?
So domestically, we'll disguise it as other chips while it's actually a quantum chip, and on the outside, we'll see if we can forcefully manufacture chips currently mainstream on the market!"
At this mention, Elder Zhou couldn't help smiling: "After all, technology updates and iterates quickly~ After a while, we'll be the strongest chip manufacturers. Isn't that great?"
"Fine."
"Anything else?"
"Nope."
Elder Zhou gave one more reminder before leaving for Epang Palace: "Remember what I told you earlier!"
As for Guo Yi, he scratched his head: logistics and scientific research were settled, so next he had to tackle the most frustrating part—the crew members.
