The Top Secret Special Group Is Established; You Will Be Great Xia's First Line of Defense!

Chapter 45: Top Secret Special Group Established; You Will Be Great Xia's First Line of Defense!

"I understand what I need to do now." Lu Ze had a complete epiphany.

Although he had preliminary plans before, he had never found the right path.

As long as the issue of trust wasn't completely resolved, he would have to tread carefully throughout the entire LLNL Laboratory.

And if he could get his hands on core technology, not to mention anything else, how could he not replicate a few 'Little Boys' that Neon loved so much, and then let them experience the highest temperatures rarely seen in history seventy years ago?

Lu Ze said he loved charcoal-grilled meat the most.

A moment later.

Michael Hasen, after finishing his meal, stood up and stretched, "Keep up the good work!"

"If it doesn't work out, your current state is also quite good."

He looked at Lucy next to Lu Ze. He had recently heard that the two of them stayed together every day, and weren't they living a comfortable life?

Why bother overthinking how to integrate into this heartless LLNL Laboratory?

'Perhaps young people are always like this,' Michael Hasen muttered to himself. Wasn't he the same when he was young?

Did he make the wrong decision back then? Can such an Eagle Country truly be called a so-called 'beacon of civilization'?

Perhaps he already had the answer in his heart, but he was unwilling to deny all the efforts of the first half of his life.

"Professor Hasen, you still have many documents to process. It's best to finish them before you go back," Lucy reminded him at the right time, slowly tidying up the last of the food. "Otherwise, I'll send them directly to your mailbox."

No matter how much they slacked off, professors at the laboratory still needed to handle some official duties.

She didn't want to do the grunt work for Hasen later, helping him approve those incredibly boring documents.

"Then I'll rest a bit longer." Michael Hasen lay down on the chair and opened the laptop in his bag.

Don't misunderstand. As a king of slacking off, he wasn't going to handle official business now.

Under Lu Ze and Lucy's curious gazes, Professor Hasen skillfully opened a stock trading software.

Watching how he bought stocks, Lu Ze was completely confused, "Professor, you..."

"You're putting all your heavy investment into one stock? And even using triple leverage?" Even Lucy next to him was a little surprised.

Isn't this a bit wrong? This isn't trading stocks; it's clearly gambling.

"I'm not a big gambler. As long as the stock I choose is at its lowest point, it can only go up," Michael Hasen said nonchalantly. "So I'll just go all in. If it dies, it dies."

He was a person who disliked gambling on luck and always chose to go all in.

Lu Ze smiled, "I'm also not someone who likes to gamble, so I only have one investment strategy."

"What is it?" Lucy's bright eyes showed a hint of curiosity.

He raised a finger, capturing their attention, and said confidently, "Keep investing. As long as I keep adding to my position, I'll never lose."

"????"

Lucy's eyes were filled with astonishment. It would be a loss for the vast majority of stockholders if you two didn't go into the finance industry.

At this time.

After Lu Ze and Lucy finished their morning tea and leisurely strolled around the entire laboratory.

In Great Xia, Yanjing.

It was past 9 PM.

Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing, in a specially protected car, returned to the entrance of the Great Xia Academy of Sciences.

The two of them, as they got out of the car, had a look of solemnity on their faces. They hadn't spoken much along the way.

Without even bothering to rest, they quickly returned to the dean's conference room for another meeting.

"Old Zhang, what do you think our next plan should be?" Zheng Lixing frowned deeply.

A sense of worry permeated the air.

"Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking this time? This task isn't easy to handle."

Zhang Yuli's expression wasn't much better. "My head hurts, it really hurts."

This urgent meeting was called by the highest level, a secret meeting with only a handful of attendees, yet each of their names was like thunder in their ears.

With Zhang Yuli's position as the Dean of the Great Xia Academy of Sciences, he was ranked second to last, and Zheng Lixing was third to last (in terms of treatment level).

They originally thought this was for some urgent matter to discuss.

It was indeed an important matter, but its importance far exceeded their imaginations.

The core agenda of this meeting was only one: to form a 'Special Secret Group' that would be solely responsible to that Mysterious Organization.

Zheng Lixing took a puff of his pipe, his tone heavy, and continued, "I knew this urgent meeting wouldn't be simple, but I never expected it would be to form a secret group."

"This has come much faster than I anticipated."

They had already received preliminary insider information about the formation of this Special Secret Group last week.

But they never imagined that the highest level would make a final decision in just a few days. The members of this 'Special Secret Group' would primarily consist of Zhang Yuli, Song Qinyi, Zheng Lixing, and Liu Zhixue.

The team leader is Zhang Yuli, the deputy leader is Zheng Lixing, and the other two are members.

There was no doubt that these few were the most suitable candidates; the higher-ups hadn't even considered anyone else.

After all, only the four of them clearly knew about the existence of the mysterious person and the mysterious organization behind him, and had communicated with him many times. If others were to join rashly, it would be a huge hidden danger, and Great Xia couldn't afford to take that risk.

Smoke swirled in the room, the smell of tobacco slightly relaxing the tense nerves.

This time, Zhang Yuli didn't say anything, and let out a long sigh, "This 'Special Secret Group' has too much authority."

"If something goes wrong with this, you and I will truly be 'sinners'."

"Yeah," Zheng Lixing agreed.

This group, officially named the [Great Xia Top Secret Special Operations Group], had only one authority: it was the only entity in all of Great Xia that could communicate with the mysterious organization.

In urgent situations, the group could temporarily make decisions that did not affect Great Xia's basic strategy.

Although this authority was simple.

If this were ancient times, it would be the treatment of an imperial envoy, but this could only be applied to the mysterious organization.

From this aspect alone, one could see how outrageous the authority of this secret group was.

One sentence from the higher-ups could summarize its importance: You will be Great Xia's first line of defense.

However, with greater authority came greater capability, and thus a correspondingly greater responsibility. This was something neither of them failed to understand, and it was the source of their worries.

Zheng Lixing pondered for a long time, "By the way, should we notify Old Song about this now?"

Song Qinyi was currently still working on the J-20 project, so he hadn't had time to brief him yet.

"Let's wait until the J-20's maiden flight is completed. We can't do without him there right now," Zhang Yuli waved his hand. "Besides, having Little Liu is enough for now; he can handle external communications."

"That's true," Zheng Lixing nodded.

The J-20 project was arguably Great Xia's most important research project recently, and it was not something to be taken lightly. Having Song Qinyi join the group now would not be a good thing.

And currently, there wasn't much work for this special secret group; the two of them could handle it.

"So, next, we need to contact that mysterious organization?"

"Won't this be too frequent?" Zheng Lixing took a drag from his cigarette, then exhaled a perfect smoke ring after an epic deep inhale.

It had only been less than two days since the last contact.

Although the previous contact was to report their actions to the mysterious organization as usual, he worried that such frequent proactive contact might cause unnecessary trouble.

Zhang Yuli shook his head, "No, we must synchronize and consult with them on matters like this."

"And I don't think this organization would be 'petty'."

An organization that could exchange ten billion US dollars for a thousand schools in Northwest Province, how could they be displeased over such a small matter?

On the contrary, it might be more likely to cause dissatisfaction if they weren't informed in a timely manner.

Eagle Country, California.

Lu Ze was lying on a sofa resting after lunch.

Suddenly, as he was feeling a bit drowsy, a line of text popped up on the light screen in his eyes.

[Ding! You have a new email in your inbox.]

Lu Ze's spirits immediately lifted, and he quickly walked towards a spot. "Lucy, I'm going to the restroom."

"Okay, I got it."

Lucy was engrossed in a laptop, watching the 'Great Xia Kung Fu' tutorial that Lu Ze had mentioned.

'So kung fu really is similar to magic. But where is Magic Fairy Castle?' Lucy muttered, clearly still preferring magic more.

Arriving at an empty corner in the restroom, Lu Ze opened his email and projected it onto the light screen.

[We will establish the 'Great Xia Special Secret Group' to replace the Great Xia Academy of Sciences as the sole point of contact for your organization in the future.]

[This group will be fully responsible for all matters related to your organization, including your emergency aid, distress calls, and requests for help. --- Special Secret Group.]

"A brand new group?" Lu Ze frowned.

As he carefully read the contents of the email, even his strong psychological fortitude made him gasp.

"These terms, it's truly like 'spending a thousand gold to buy a horse's bones'," Lu Ze thought to himself.

This couldn't even be described with the previous term 'Top Secret · Core' in terms of its importance to Great Xia. Perhaps, for Great Xia, the 'Mysterious Organization' was like a divine artifact for national stability.

It might be unlikely to fight a full-scale war for the 'Mysterious Organization', but they would definitely not flinch from proxy wars or limited hot wars.

Lu Ze thought for a moment and chuckled, "Since that's the case, I should reciprocate as well."

He was not someone who didn't know how to return a favor.

[We are satisfied with this arrangement. May we ask what technology Great Xia would like next?]

[B-2 bomber? Or something else!?]

(First update.)
