Chapter 287 1 shot into the soul

Regardless of the reasons, the three departments are temporarily unable to take action against Lin Xuan.

"Taking action against someone before fully understanding their background could easily alert them. Moreover, even if Bai Bing poses a threat to us, he doesn't seem to intend to oppose us at the moment. A powerful enemy can become a powerful friend. We can't just destroy someone because their abilities are beyond our control. If we do that, the credibility of all three departments of our government will be severely challenged."

Fang Lin gave the final summary of the meeting, setting the tone that while intervention was possible with Bai Bing, things shouldn't go too far.

They are currently at war, and they cannot afford any further internal problems. Otherwise, internal and external troubles will only worsen their already unfavorable situation.

"Let's get down to business first, Fang Lin. What are your plans for using these 10,000 devices?"

Qi Huanqing turned to look at Fang Lin with a smile. As the representative of the Divine Realm, Fang Lin had absolute control over the army. All matters on the front line had to be directed by this woman.

The same applies to these 10,000 amplifiers.

Since these were items sent to the front lines, the local authorities and the Ministry of Justice naturally dared not embezzle them, but they still had the right to inquire about them.

“I drafted a proposal for this a long time ago. You two can take a look if you’re interested.”

As she spoke, Fang Lin sent a pre-prepared document to the two of them.

"Project UFO?"

The two looked at each other, exchanging glances at least ten times in the blink of an eye.

"It seems the agent thinks highly of this kid named Bai Bing. The thing has only just been made, and you've already submitted your project proposal."

Fang Lin's plan was clearly not something she rushed out in the last two days, but rather something she had prepared long in advance.

What does this mean?

This shows that Fang Lin trusted this guy named Bai Bing from the very beginning, which is quite interesting. After the meeting, they might have to investigate what Bai Bing's background is.

"Yes, I plan to use the amplifier to cultivate a fleet capable of infiltration missions behind enemy lines. This fleet does not need to be large in number, but its attack power and mobility must be high. Therefore, I had the engineering department make an improvement to the Falcon-class destroyer. This is the improved design."

The Falcon-class destroyer is a conventional-class destroyer of Mind Earth. Due to its high maneuverability and excellent harassment capabilities, it holds a mainstay position in the interstellar fleet.

If combined with a computing power amplifier, it could be transformed into an elusive ghost fleet, posing a deadly threat to the enemy on the battlefield.

Lin Xuan's previous suggestion was very valuable. The biggest advantage of the unmanned fleet in remote control mode is its spatial teleportation capability.

They could easily break the fleet down into data streams from one location and then reassemble it behind enemy lines, catching the enemy off guard.

Implementing this function is not difficult.

Recombination space teleportation is fundamentally different from traditional stargate space teleportation. It is more like a space jump technology from science fiction movies, enabling fleets to move rapidly over short distances.

Mind Earth had already unlocked this technology, but because living organisms risked death after being transported and reassembled, this technology was at most used for transporting packages and supplies, and did not shine on the battlefield.

"We equipped this fleet with state-of-the-art camouflage, which will prevent it from being detected by enemy radar even when it is face to face. In addition, considering that this fleet is used for infiltration missions behind enemy lines, we have also made some adjustments to its artillery system."

As Fang Lin spoke, she pointed to the structural diagram of the ship.

"Previously, the main role of this Falcon-class destroyer was to conduct hostile harassment and drone interception. The guns used were the Chibo-class miniature close-in guns, which had a high rate of fire and short range. However, considering that if such a fleet were to infiltrate behind enemy lines, it would likely encounter the enemy's main force or flagship, such guns would not be very suitable. After improvements, we reduced the size of the Vulcan-class main guns that were originally placed on battleships and installed them on the improved Falcon-class destroyers."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback!

"Mounting battleship main guns on destroyers? How did you even come up with that idea? What about the ammunition problem? How did you solve it?"

To everyone's surprise, Fang Lin's next answer left them speechless with astonishment.

"There was no ammunition, so we dismantled the ammunition magazine to equip this cannon. That means each ship will only have one shell!"

"One shell?"

"To be precise, it should be two rounds. We didn't have room to design an ammunition compartment, but we still placed a controlled-explosive shell inside the ship. If necessary, the ship itself can also be used as a shell."

After hearing Fang Lin's account, everyone couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Such an incredible design does indeed resemble the style of your divine realm."

Qi Huanqing wasn't interested in the spaceship's design; he only cared about one other thing—money.

"Then, sir, what about the training funds for Project UFO..."

“Deduct it from Bai Bing’s bonus.”

Everyone fell silent, yet they felt it was perfectly reasonable.

"I originally planned to give Bai Bing a huge bonus after he completed the mission, but I didn't expect him to try to outsmart me. Well then, I'll use his bonus as the training fee for this mission."

Gai Hong couldn't help but applaud after hearing Fang Lin's words.

"I told you long ago, the prettier a woman is, the more cunning she is. Look at this, Bai Bing just didn't report the truth to this woman, and she's already messing with her like this. Tsk tsk, if Bai Bing were my subordinate, I definitely wouldn't do such a thing."

Fang Lin smiled and gave Gai Hong a dangerous look.

"Director Gai, that sounds nice. Since you like Bai Bing so much, how about I temporarily transfer him to your Qifa Division to serve as the head of the Municipal Committee for a couple of days?"

Gai Hong didn't say anything, he just smiled.

"There are no objections from the Bu territory. Fang Lin, this so-called UFO project may very well be a turning point in the war. As for the Divine Realm, you'll have to put in more effort."

Fang Lin nodded slightly.

"You need not trouble yourselves with this matter. I will personally lead this new fleet as its commander-in-chief. I only hope that you will do me a favor when the time comes."

Gai Hong tossed the materials in his hand onto the table and generously picked up the official seal of his Ministry of Justice to make his approval.

"From now on, this new fleet can dock at any starport in the entire territory except for Faxuan City. I will notify the starports as soon as possible to prepare the necessary supplies for the new ship."

Although the three government ministries often fight fiercely, it is all internal political struggle. On matters of principle, the three ministries will not make things difficult for each other.

After all, if they lose the war on the front lines, they won't be able to enjoy any of the great benefits they gain in the rear.

Therefore, all three factions were remarkably consistent in their attitude towards external enemies.

"There's another matter, which is the personnel appointment of Bai Bing."

Fang Lin tapped her slender, fair fingers on the tablet.

“Personnel appointments are usually an internal matter for our divine realm, but because Bai Bing’s situation is too special, I thought about it and decided to bring this matter to the conference for discussion.”

"Bai Bing is a Level 2 Researcher, and given his outstanding contributions this time, according to the usual promotion guidelines, he should at least be given the position of Project Supervisor. But this raises another question: if Bai Bing were to lead a project, would he do the same thing as he did this time?"

This amplifier project has actually made everyone realize a problem: Bai Bing absolutely cannot be given any power, otherwise he will try every means to use the power he has to benefit himself.

But you can't find anything wrong with his actions; he does everything you ask him to do.

"So, you're planning to give him a nominal position?"

Fang Lin nodded slightly.

“Didn’t he say before that he wanted to join a rapid reaction force? I think that perhaps placing him in a rapid reaction force would be a viable option.”

Upon hearing this, Director Gai couldn't help but smile.

"You've only just given him a little power, and you're already planning to take it all back?"

According to the normal promotion mechanism, Bai Bing, as a second-level researcher, should stay in the research department no matter how much he is promoted. How could he possibly be promoted to the rapid reaction force?

Fang Lin did this entirely to eliminate the military factory controlled by Bai Bing.

The current situation is that they failed to obtain the amplifier design blueprints from Bai Bing, so if Bai Bing wants to build amplifiers, he still needs the military factory.

But this military factory was originally bait thrown out by the Divine Realm to Bai Bing. Now that the fish hasn't taken the bait, it's impossible to waste it.

However, it would be difficult to rashly take back this military factory. After all, if your intentions are too obvious, Bai Bing might just quit in a fit of anger. What can you do then?

As long as Bai Bing can be transferred out of the research department, no matter where he is transferred to, as long as he is not in the research department, he will have no real power in the military factory. He will only have the right to assist in all projects of the military factory.

Then all you need to do is take the opportunity to promote someone else to replace him, and everything will fall into place.

"The idea is good, but I have to remind you that you still need to pay more attention to this person. Trying to divide his power among two different departments by giving him two different positions could easily lead to him having absolute power in both departments if not handled properly. At that point, it will be hard to say whether your divine realm will belong to the Bai or the Fang family."

Fang Lin smiled.

"Don't worry, the person I send to replace him is absolutely trustworthy."

After the meeting, Fang Lin returned to her office, where someone was already waiting for her.

"Sis, didn't you promise to send me to the front lines? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Fang Yuan leaned back on the sofa in Fang Lin's office, looking up at the sky with dissatisfaction.

Fang Lin felt both helpless and speechless towards her younger brother. Ever since she became the agent of the Divine Realm, Fang Yuan had been clamoring to go to the front lines.

If he were truly suited for warfare, Fang Lin would have sent him, but unfortunately, Fang Yuan wasn't.

Their parents died early, and the siblings were raised by their uncle. However, because their parents were both commanders of a group army in the Divine Realm and died on the battlefield, the siblings were raised as children of martyrs.

Therefore, the siblings' living conditions are quite good, and the government subsidies they receive each month are even higher than the income of some working-class families.

However, after witnessing her parents die on the battlefield, Fang Lin secretly vowed that no matter what, she would ensure the safety of her younger brother.

Therefore, she chose to work in the Divine Realm because Fang Lin knew very well that this war, which would determine the fate of two civilizations, would not end so soon, and Fang Yuan would eventually go to the battlefield.

There is only one way to avoid this situation: to have control of the army.

That's what she thought, and that's what she did.

In just eight years, Fang Lin advanced in the Divine Realm at an almost rocket-like speed, and in three local battles, she was always the one charging at the forefront.

Heaven has been kind to her; despite her relentless efforts, she has miraculously survived the battlefield to this day and has even become an agent of the divine realm.

"Alright, the reason I'm not sending you to the front lines is because there's a more important task for you to do."

Fang Lin rubbed her forehead and handed over the data and information about the general's factory to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan took the documents, carefully looked through them for a while, and then tossed them aside with a look of disgust.

"What is this? You want me to be the director of a military factory? What's the difference between this job and being a stable boy?"

Upon hearing her younger brother's words, Fang Lin's face immediately darkened.

“This military factory is a special case and is very important to the Divine Realm. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sent you there. You will take up your post tomorrow and make sure you manage this place well.”

Fang Yuan was still somewhat skeptical upon hearing this.

"How important can a military factory be? There are hundreds of factories like this in Faxuan City, large and small."

"Different."

Fang Lin sighed and finally decided to confront her younger brother directly.

"You must have heard about the latest technology from God Realm, right?"

Fang Yuan nodded.

"I've heard about the computing power amplifier. I was wondering when you could get me one to play with."

Fang Lin lightly tapped the document with her finger.

"Look, this factory is the one that produces that stuff!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan was startled!

"what?"

Fang Yuan wasn't stupid. He knew very well just how incredible the amplifier's effects were. He originally thought that the production line for this thing was in the most secret underground laboratory inside the Divine Realm. He never expected that this thing would be so openly displayed!

If the enemy finds out, wouldn't they be able to precisely strike and destroy this military factory with just one cluster bomb?
