Chapter 403: Chapter 403

After leaving a burst of laughter, the leader of the group turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

What he didn’t know was that, at this very moment, a live-streaming phone camera was positioned under the sink, aiming right at him.

All of this, one could say, was within the calculations of Yamaguchi Junichiro.

Selling machine tools to the Nuclear Group was not something their family could handle alone.

What he needed to do now was to let this Abe Family help divert some firepower.

Only this way could there be a chance to save the Yamaguchi Clan.

Of course, even at this moment, he couldn’t understand why he had made such decisions before.

Xiao Lin was unaware of what was happening on this side.

Over at Zao Fei Technology, various experiments were underway at the workshop in full swing.

If everything went according to plan, Ouyang Lei would be moving one machine tool today afternoon.

And the remaining machine tool would stay with Zao Fei Technology.

However, whether due to notification or something else, Ouyang Lei just announced to temporarily keep both machine tools here.

First, conduct the air kinetic helicopter research before anything else.

The top priority now was to ensure the first air kinetic helicopter gets released!

If this helicopter proves successful, it will surely shock the world!

Of course, this was also the sight Xiao Lin most wished to see, as the quicker the helicopter was produced, the closer he was to completing his mission.

Thus, day by day passed, and on the dawn of the seventh day, good news finally came from Zao Fei Technology.

The first-generation kinetic air helicopter assembly was complete!!

This milestone news excited Ouyang Lei’s entire team.

When Xiao Lin drove over, he saw a group of people arguing about something.

By late November, except at noon, the weather was already very cold.

Yet, this group of old-timers were arguing outside, faces flushed with passion.

With a sense of curiosity, Xiao Lin got out of the car, only to hear a scene that made him somewhat amused:

"So what if we are older? Our bodies are in good shape! What’s the big deal about flying a few circles up there? I tell you, if you’re not convinced, we can go over there and stretch our hands.

If you can knock us down, then we won’t go up!"

As he approached, Xiao Lin saw, in the midst of a group of old researchers, they were surrounding none other than Ouyang Lei.

At this moment, Ouyang Lei’s face was full of an amused and helpless expression:

"Everyone, everyone, how about this? You take a spin around the complex’s airspace, but really, you should skip the long-distance test."

"What kind of crap are you talking? What, in your minds, are we just troublemakers to you?"

Unexpectedly, after Ouyang Lei said these words, a gray-haired old man suddenly got agitated.

This rendered Ouyang Lei speechless, waving his hands repeatedly:

"No, no, I didn’t mean that at all. It’s just that without your untiring research over these seven days and nights, this helicopter couldn’t have reached the stage for long-range testing so soon.

The reason I’m saying this is because I’m genuinely concerned about your health. After all, this flight requires at least two continuous days in the air, or even longer. Such high-intensity flying, even the youngsters might not withstand, let alone you..."

But before Ouyang Lei could finish his statement, he was interrupted:

"Enough, Young Master Ouyang, we know what you’re thinking, but you can rest assured.

We’ve dedicated our old bones to the country throughout our lives; we definitely won’t cause any trouble.

And as I just mentioned, much of the data during these days was tracked and tested by us. If we swap personnel now, the accuracy of the data is questionable.

Moreover, it’s just a few days of flying. The helicopter is large enough for each of us to have a bed."

"Yes, yes, there’s definitely no problem."

"Hey, why are you even arguing with him? I’ll just call his father. I used to smack his bottom when he was a kid, let alone now!"

For a moment, the scene became lively once more.

And Ouyang Lei couldn’t be more frustrated.

He knew very well that having these people go for data testing was ideal, but the helicopter’s testing couldn’t simply be in plain areas.

To record all sorts of data, various terrains and harsh environments would be tested.

The reason for blocking them was partly because he couldn’t bear to see them suffer, and also because the higher-ups had issued orders to protect the safety of these veteran patriots as paramount!

Today, even if a call was made to Ouyang Lei’s father or even his grandfather, it would definitely be stonewalled.

These veteran researchers understood this better than anyone else, which was why they were pressuring Ouyang Lei with persistence and persuasion here.

Perhaps they could fool him into letting them go up.

Yet, over half an hour passed, and this lad just wouldn’t relent.

As Ouyang Lei was getting a headache from their bickering, he looked up and saw Xiao Lin walking over.

Immediately, an idea sprang to his mind:

"Ahem, everyone, hold on, I have something to say."

At Ouyang Lei’s words, the crowd instantly quieted down.

All the old men turned their attention towards him.

"Ahem, well, it’s . You all want to go up, right? I’ve said it but you neither listen nor believe. Now that Xiao Lin is here, who worked on the helicopter’s development and manufacturing, and since the helicopter is in his hands, ask him if your health doesn’t permit going up."

Just arriving and overhearing this, Xiao Lin couldn’t help but be stunned.

’Damn, Ouyang Lei is really sneaky, throwing this difficult situation at me?? No way, I refuse to bear this responsibility.’

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"What’s going on here?? Wasn’t I notified the research succeeded? Why is everyone standing around here?? Where’s the helicopter??"

Speaking before Ouyang Lei could respond, the elder who planned to call Ouyang Lei’s father chuckled to Xiao Lin:

"Haha, Xiao Lin, you’re just in time, the helicopter is ready. We’re waiting for you to finish your checkup so we can all go collect data. Come on, let’s board the helicopter first."

Listening to the elder, Xiao Lin felt amused. These old fellows were so adorable it was heartwarming.

Whether it was waiting all night for the machine tools or staying in the workshop to develop the helicopter.

Every time there was a technical hurdle, they stood at the forefront.

Such dedication made it difficult for Xiao Lin to refuse their request.

Therefore, despite Ouyang Lei frantically signaling with his eyes that he should not agree, Xiao Lin nodded:

"Hey, in this cold weather, just proceed with the test directly. No need to wait for me. Come on, let’s get inside quickly, don’t let the cold get to you."

With these words, he led the way towards the workshop.

Seeing this, Ouyang Lei slapped his thigh anxiously.

Was this guy doing this on purpose? Because the researchers are too familiar with him, they don’t listen to his words.

Can’t you just say no directly?

Didn’t you see me desperately signaling you??

How could you be so helpful yet so unhelpful at the same time!

"No way, if these national treasure-like researchers go up today, it’s going downhill for me very soon!!"

Muttering to himself, he hurriedly followed inside.

But upon entering the workshop, he saw Xiao Lin already boarding the helicopter with a group of veteran researchers.

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Lin, come here a moment, I have something to tell you."

Standing on the helicopter staircase, Xiao Lin turned back to look at Ouyang Lei, but before he could move, the veteran researcher in front had already reached his hand to pull him up.

Meanwhile, the old man underneath gently nudged Xiao Lin:

"Xiao Lin, don’t mind him, he’s definitely asking you to join too, let’s quickly get inside, while he..."
