Chapter 387: Chapter 387

"Hey, hey, my darling daughter, did you miss your dad?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi’s hand began to gently massage Xiao Zihan’s round belly.

But as he touched it, he got lost in thought...

With the system’s mission in mind, Lin Yi only rested at home for a day before seeking out Ouyang Lei.

At the off-campus park of the Nuclear Group, looking at the completed warehouses and various experimental bases, Lin Yi and Ouyang Lei were filled with amazement.

"I really didn’t expect this. In just a few months, this place has undergone such a transformation. Haha, once everything is complete, this might become a whole new business area.

I’ve heard that the price of the commercial property nearest to you has risen from over twenty thousand per square meter to over seventy thousand.

And many people have their eyes on the land around here. But don’t worry, I’ve ensured that the surrounding area will be prioritized for your use!"

Gazing at the series of skyscrapers under construction in the distance, Ouyang Lei felt deeply moved.

Before, when this land was in his hands, it was preserved in its most original state.

But that’s no longer the case. The groundwork and road infrastructure are completed, and since it’s a mountainous area, the drainage system is also finished.

The only things left incomplete are those superstructures within the park.

That’s only due to the unique nature of the Nuclear Group; otherwise, building skyscrapers in Capital City is no simple task.

Of course, another crucial point is that this park is far from the second ring road, and there are no residential areas nearby, which allowed for approval.

"Hey, have the nerve to say that, this land couldn’t be moved; otherwise, I think you’d have dug up the whole lot for me. Look at you being stingy, leaving a house and taking even the windows and doors away—what a joke!"

But in response to Lin Yi’s banter, Ouyang Lei nodded earnestly:

"Hey, you shouldn’t be complaining. I’m telling you, if it wasn’t for my insistence, you think that hardening of the ground would have remained? By regulation, no construction traces should be left! It’s all classified information!"

Ouyang Lei wasn’t wrong. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lin Yi was involved, the place would have been fully restored before being handed over to him.

This includes the buildings currently used as project headquarters, which would have been demolished and removed!

"Tch, that’s about as generous as you get. Fine, enough small talk. What about the thing I mentioned last time? I’ve already set aside a separate area, just waiting for your planes to arrive."

The construction speed here is truly impressive, a true showcase of Huaxia’s efficiency!

In just a few months, almost half the area can already be used.

"Ah, well, I was going to ask you about that. I have the planes ready, from the first-generation phased-out models to the most advanced fifth-generation jets; I’ve prepared one of each for you."

As he spoke, Ouyang Lei hesitated slightly before continuing: Content originally comes from novel~fire~net

"But I have to mention one thing upfront. This involves our top-level secrets, and under no circumstances can this technology be leaked! You must understand that.

So, after deliberation, we’ve decided to co-establish a tech research institute under our joint control. Our personnel must oversee everything from start to finish."

It seemed they also knew this might seem a bit excessive, especially since Lin Yi was voluntarily helping to advance national technology, and now they wanted to monitor him; it could turn anyone cold.

After a moment’s thought, Ouyang Lei added:

"Haha, you know what this technology means to Huaxia. It’s not that we don’t trust you, but given the number of people involved, we’re just being cautious. I hope you understand."

However, Lin Yi had no objections. As a Huaxia person, he naturally didn’t want his technology to fall into foreign hands.

So he nodded and said:

"Agreed. Let’s directly establish a military-industrial company. All security personnel will come from your side, and I can also reserve all security positions in this park for retired military personnel.

And I’ll ensure they receive the highest salaries in the industry.

This way, nothing can go wrong."

Seeing Lin Yi’s righteous appearance, Ouyang Lei rolled his eyes exasperatedly:

"You think I don’t know what you’re plotting? Stop trying to pull the wool over my eyes with your righteous talk.

If we do it like you propose, you won’t even need to worry about the security department, and you’ll have trustworthy, excellent security talent. By then, you’ll be secretly laughing, won’t you?"

Lin Yi chuckled at this:

"Haha, listen to you! As if you’re not thrilled. I’m offering employment opportunities for retired personnel, a win-win situation, right? Fine, if you feel shortchanged, I’ll arrange the security myself."

With that, Lin Yi waved his hand and headed towards a nearby warehouse.

Ouyang Lei, seeing this, could only shake his head with a wry smile, finding it incredibly difficult to have this kid owe a favor.

This guy really is slick.

Alas, it’s a pity he’s already married; otherwise, it’d be great if he became my brother-in-law.

Shaking his head to dismiss those thoughts, he quickly caught up with Lin Yi:

"Alright, alright, it’s settled then. You start preparing for the new company, and I’ll ensure the security is in place when I return.

Once the company is established and security is in place, the planes can be housed.

Oh, right, is five thousand security positions per year enough for you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi, who was walking ahead, stumbled slightly, nearly tripping himself.

Turning around with a look of exasperation, he retorted:

"Five thousand is too few; why not just give me ten thousand annually?"

Who knew that the moment he said this sarcastically, Ouyang Lei nodded earnestly:

"Hmm, I seemed to have underestimated; my scope was too small. Indeed, for such a large industrial area, five thousand annually isn’t enough, right? Let’s do as you suggest, ten thousand positions annually. Haha, we’re all brothers here; you don’t need to say any thanks."

After saying that, he swaggered past Lin Yi and into the building.

Lin Yi’s indignant gaze, which seemed ready to stab, was entirely ignored.

"Damn! Are you serious? My park doesn’t even have that many people! And you’re offering to station ten thousand security staff each year—am I supposed to support them?"

"Hey~ I didn’t say they all had to be security roles. Put them wherever needed; after all, these people are trained and talented, with assured safety and discipline! You just wait and enjoy."

A week later, the Nuclear Group held another press conference to announce the official founding of ’Zao Fei Technology,’ the fifth subsidiary of the group, following ’Core Fruit Technology,’ ’Celestial Core Technology,’ ’Nuclear Medicine,’ and ’Nuclear Car.’

Not only that, but for the first time at the conference, someone in a military uniform appeared!

This officially marked Zao Fei Technology as a bona fide military-industrial enterprise!

According to Lin Yi, this company’s main focus was aircraft engine research!

And this news instantly caused a stir abroad!

A rumor even suggested that the Nuclear Group planned to develop an air kinetic energy engine!

However, foreign aircraft engine experts expressed significant skepticism.

They claimed that while air kinetic engines were indeed impressive, they were limited to ground vehicles; flying in the air was an entirely different concept.
