Your Codename Is "Chaoyang," Security Classification: Top Secret · Core!

Twenty minutes later.

When Lu Ze stepped out of the bathroom, Li Yijie had already vanished from the dorm room without a trace.

He had no idea whether Li Yijie had been left too embarrassed to show his face after being shut down by him earlier, or whether he had gone out again to attend one of those so-called "social party gatherings."

It was better that he was gone. Every time Lu Ze saw him, he felt uncomfortable all over, as though every cell in his body radiated disgust from the inside out.

With a thought, a light screen appeared before his eyes.

[Achievement Points: 0!]

[System Space Inventory: F-22 Fifth Generation Heavy Air Superiority Fighter, ...]

[Copies Available: 1] (Refreshes every Monday!)

Today was Monday, and his new copy had refreshed.

"What should I copy next?"

"There really aren't many technological items I can copy at the moment!" Lu Ze sat quietly in his chair, unconsciously sinking into thought.

The first question he considered was this: what technological items surpassed the F-22 fighter jet in grade? And were they located within Eagle Sauce?

The B-2 Spirit strategic bomber, which cost as much as gold? The SR-91 Aurora reconnaissance aircraft, so ghostly that no one even knew whether it truly existed? Or perhaps the C-5 strategic transport aircraft?

Then there were all kinds of destroyers, nuclear submarines, even nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers, aerospace rockets, and more. Their technological grade definitely would not be lower than that of the F-22 fighter jet.

Considering their value and rarity, the Achievement Point rewards might even be several times, dozens of times, or even higher than the F-22's.

"None of that stuff... is easy to copy!" Lu Ze let out a deep sigh.

Which of those cutting-edge technologies was not one of Eagle Sauce's treasured trump cards? How could a mere graduate student like him casually get access to them?

He wanted to copy the newly developed EUV lithography machine, but the problem was that such things were simply beyond his reach.

Not to mention anything else.

Even the technological item that seemed easiest to copy—the high-precision in-situ transmission electron microscope in Duke University's Materials Engineering Laboratory—required approval from a professor-level researcher before he could enter that room.

And he had tested it once before. That high-precision in-situ transmission electron microscope, which cost tens of millions of US Dollars, was worth only two thousand Achievement Points.

"Do I really have to settle this time?" Lu Ze frowned tightly, his mind racing.

Looking at it that way, the in-situ transmission electron microscope in the laboratory was not a bad choice either.

Even if he was willing to sacrifice a huge amount of Achievement Points to copy an F-22 fighter jet now—

There had not been any public air shows recently, and an opportunity to touch an F-22 up close was not so easy to find.

"Or I could save this copy and use it together with the next one!"

After all, copies could accumulate indefinitely, so he was not in any rush to copy an item right now.

When the time came, copying more than ten F-22 fighter jets in one go did not seem impossible to Lu Ze.

Just as he sank into endless contemplation, a notification suddenly sounded from the system in his mind.

[Ding! Host, your inbox has received an email from the Great Xia Academy of Sciences!]

"Oh? Why did the Great Xia Academy of Sciences suddenly send me an email?" Lu Ze was somewhat surprised.

Ever since their last contact, the Great Xia Academy of Sciences had not contacted him at all for two whole days. Could something unexpected have happened?

He did not dwell on it.

Following his usual routine, he took a new SIM card from his pocket and inserted it into his phone.

He connected to the email backend, projected it onto the light screen before his eyes, and opened the new email.

<You have received an email from the Great Xia Academy of Sciences!>

[After receiving the blueprints you sent, we have repeatedly verified the technology!]

[Please reply as soon as possible after receiving this email. There is an important matter we need to discuss! —Great Xia Academy of Sciences!]

Lu Ze's brows twitched. "They want to discuss an important matter with me?"

Since the F-22 fighter jet blueprints had passed technical verification, why were they looking for him to discuss matters first instead of beginning development work to build a Fifth Generation Fighter?

Could it be that the Great Xia Academy of Sciences was extremely satisfied with the technology and wanted to negotiate his compensation?

Doesn't look like it.

Lu Ze had already guessed what the other side wanted to say. He quickly typed out a line.

"I have received the email. If there's anything, just say it as soon as possible!"

He sent the reply directly.

Not even a minute later, another new email arrived.

[The following content will involve absolute secrets. Please ensure that you are in a completely secure environment before replying!]

"I am currently in a very secure environment. Don't worry!" Lu Ze replied immediately.

With the system's encrypted information protection, he was not worried in the slightest that his network would be hacked or monitored.

Yet a full ten minutes passed, and the Great Xia Academy of Sciences still had not sent another email.

Just as Lu Ze wondered whether something had happened, another email suddenly refreshed in the inbox.

This time, the email sent by the Great Xia Academy of Sciences was rather long. At a glance, he could not even make out all its specific contents.

[In accordance with your wishes, all future communication between us will use a single-line channel.]

[Your security classification is: Top Secret · Core!]

[Your codename is: Chaoyang!]

[From now on, except in emergencies, no one is permitted to send you any information. Your only contact within Great Xia will be: the Great Xia Academy of Sciences!]

[At the same time, in order to ensure the secrecy of your information, only those with the highest-level authorization may access and read any of your files or emails. Any operational funds you require will be provided through the highest-level special allocation.]

[The emails and any messages you send will be permanently sealed after being read, and every trace of their existence will be completely erased.]

[If necessary, please contact us at any time. We will provide you with any and all assistance, no matter what it is, no matter when or where!]

At the lower right corner of the email was the seal of Great Xia.

After clearly seeing line after line of what was written there—

"Hiss... isn't this treatment a little too terrifying? A Top Secret · Core security classification?"

"No matter when or where... Great Xia will provide any assistance..." Lu Ze immediately sucked in a sharp breath!

This level of treatment could only be described as utterly terrifying!

Although he had already guessed that once the F-22 fighter jet design blueprints he provided passed verification, Great Xia would probably make a major move—

He had never expected it to be this outrageous!

There was no need to say more about a Top Secret · Core security classification. It was already equivalent to the security classification Great Xia had used back when Madam Qiu developed nuclear weapons.

That final condition alone meant that if he ever encountered trouble and needed help, they would not even hesitate to directly mobilize troops for him!

If he said he wanted to land on the moon right now, they would probably consider whether it could be done.

This was Lu Ze's current standing in Great Xia's eyes.
