"Should we actively contact that 'mysterious organization' now?" Zheng Lixing frowned.

"It's too late," Zhang Yuli checked the time. "Let's contact them in their morning."

If it was noon in Great Xia, it would already be late at night in Eagle Country. Making contact rashly at this time wouldn't be a good idea.

It wasn't that Zhang Yuli was overly cautious; it was just that dealing with this 'mysterious organization' required extreme care.

An organization that could casually obtain F-22 fighter jet technical blueprints from Eagle Country, and could potentially continue to provide many technologies in the future.

Great Xia could not afford to lose it, nor could it afford to offend it carelessly. The price was currently unbearable.

Zheng Lixing nodded, "That's true. It should be two or three in the morning there in Eagle Country."

This time difference was troublesome, especially since Eagle Country and Great Xia typically had a difference of more than twelve or thirteen hours.

One was in the daytime, the other at night, so they had to consider the current time.

"Then we still have a long way to go."

Zheng Lixing suddenly felt playful. "Let's play a few games of chess. I'm not convinced about losing to you last time; you completely took advantage of my cannon."

"That doesn't count."

"Old Man Zheng, can you win two out of ten games against me?" Zhang Yuli also became interested. "I'll give you three moves advantage this time."

The two of them drank tea, played chess, and chatted in the dean's office, slowly waiting for nightfall.

Tuesday morning.

California, LLNL Laboratory employee dormitory.

Lu Ze, whose biological clock was always accurate, woke up to the 8 o'clock morning sun. After washing up, he sat quietly in a chair by the bed.

With some time left before he had to clock in, his mind began to race.

It's time to make a proper plan for the future, Lu Ze thought to himself, his expression solemn.

Step one: Quickly gain the trust of the LLNL Laboratory so I can access core technological items, but without participating in important projects.

Gaining trust was Lu Ze's primary objective. He wanted everyone in the lab to mistakenly believe his abilities were mediocre and let their guard down, which would allow him to better copy high-level technological items.

Step two: Find a way to escape in time. Once I've copied enough of the high-tech items here, leave the LLNL Laboratory as soon as possible.

I absolutely cannot delay until graduation to leave.

He had a little over a year left in his graduate studies, and at most just over two years before his academic career ended.

Therefore, he absolutely could not stay at the LLNL Laboratory for too long or get involved in core, important projects. He had to leave within a year at most. One year would be enough to acquire everything worth copying here.

After that, he would either find a way to transfer to another laboratory or be assigned to another research institute.

If he stayed at the LLNL Laboratory for too long, it would be too late for him to leave.

Great Xia was his homeland. No matter how prosperous Eagle Country was, it did not belong to Lu Ze, nor did it belong to Asian Americans, nor did it belong to the vast majority of people on this land of Eagle Country.

Instead, it belonged to Wall Street, or to that small group of people in Washington D.C.

"However, when I go back to China during the summer break, I can hand over some things," Lu Ze muttered softly, glancing at the two F-22 fighter jets in his system inventory.

These things were just sitting there, so it was better to make good use of them. Was he really going to smash them and sell them as scrap metal? Would anyone dare to buy them?

And if these things appeared in Great Xia's arsenal, wouldn't Eagle Country go crazy with shock?

Of course, the prerequisite was that his identity must absolutely not be discovered, otherwise, the consequences would be endless.

Just as he was clarifying his future development path and preparing to head to the laboratory.

Suddenly.

A cold prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Host, your email has received a new message.]

"Great Xia sent me a new email? Did something happen?" Lu Ze raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that there's preliminary progress on the school construction?"

The only ones who would email him were from the Great Xia Academy of Sciences.

And normally, they wouldn't proactively send emails. He figured it must be about the previously mentioned 1 billion US Dollars reward for building a thousand schools.

As soon as he opened the email, it was indeed from the Great Xia Academy of Sciences.

[We have followed your instructions and commissioned eight engineering bureaus under Xia Jian to begin construction of a total of one thousand primary, middle, and high schools. The estimated completion time for all roofs and acceptance is approximately nine months.]

[The selection of sites for all schools will prioritize impoverished areas in Northwest Province, and all faculty and staff will be arranged for these schools.]

[The one thousand schools will officially begin accepting all students from Northwest Province in September 2010. --- Great Xia Academy of Sciences.]

'We are very satisfied with the valuable 'reward' given by Great Xia.'

Lu Ze smiled and typed this line in reply.

As expected, this was Great Xia's response regarding the construction of a thousand schools, and construction had already begun in full swing.

Even the recruitment of faculty and staff was progressing rapidly, which proved that Lu Ze's decision was not wrong.

He hadn't directly requested that the 1 billion US Dollars be used entirely to subsidize education in Northwest Province before, because he knew that once the schools began to be built, whether for its own 'merit' or for the education of the entire Northwest Province, Great Xia...

It's inevitable that enough teachers will be hired to provide education for all students.

Seeing that the email received no reply for a long time, he thought Great Xia was just routinely reporting progress.

'If there's nothing else for now, we'll contact the Great Xia Academy of Sciences when we send the technology next time.'

'This won't take too long, please wait patiently.'

Lu Ze replied with a message and was about to close his email directly when.

Suddenly, it seemed like the Great Xia Academy of Sciences on the other end was anxious, sending a brand new reply within seconds.

[We have another rather important matter we'd like to consult you about.]

[If you don't wish to answer, you may simply ignore this.]

'No problem, what do you want to ask? I'll see if I can answer.' Lu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, curious about what Great Xia wanted to know.

Vaguely, he already had some guesses.

Soon, a brand new email popped up.

[May we ask, do 'you' belong to an organization? Do you come from a 'mysterious organization'?]

[May we know the name of your organization?]

"Mysterious organization? Great Xia is thinking pretty deeply." Lu Ze chuckled in amusement.

He had originally just used a pseudonym as a smokescreen, intending to make Great Xia unsure whether he was an individual or a group.

He hadn't expected, however, that Great Xia would think he was a 'mysterious organization' hidden deep within Eagle Country.

However.

Are you a mysterious organization? I think I am!

He decisively replied to the email.

'Yes, I come from a 'mysterious organization'.'

'It is called: Great Wall Watchers.'
