I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 715 Airport Assault! Who was it?
A Boeing passenger plane slowly lands at Beijing International Airport.

Lin Maoye pushed up his glasses; this was the first time he had ever set foot on Chinese soil since birth.

Contrary to the images depicted in European and American media, this ancient capital, which carries a thousand-year history, is filled with high-rise buildings and has a brand-new look, in no way inferior to the economic metropolises on the west coast.

The plane taxied slowly and came to a steady stop at its parking position a dozen minutes later.

Lin Maoye picked up his suitcase, pushed it across the jet bridge, and stepped out of the arrival gate.

To his surprise, he looked up and saw Chen Yansen not far away.

In an instant, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He truly felt an unprecedented sense of importance placed upon him, and quickly quickened his pace, smiling as he went to greet him.

Just then, a man wearing a black windbreaker and a fisherman's hat walked towards Lin Maoye. As he approached Lin Maoye, the man flicked his finger, and a seven-centimeter-long spike suddenly popped out of his ring.

The blade has a matte finish, making it difficult to notice in the noisy arrival area.

He raised his right hand, and in the instant he brushed past Lin Maoye, he seized the opportunity and stabbed at the other man's heart.

Chen Yansen, standing five meters away, keenly noticed the anomaly, and the smile on his face vanished abruptly.

He strode forward, ignoring the security guard beside him, and kicked the man in the right side of his waist.

"Eh? No!"

The man immediately realized something was wrong.

The blade didn't pierce the flesh smoothly; instead, it felt like it was stuck on something.

He thought he had accidentally bumped into something hard inside Lin Maoye's clothes, so he immediately withdrew his hand, changed the angle, and stabbed at Lin Maoye's heart again.

Before he could even make a move, he felt as if he had been hit by a car, and his whole body flew two or three meters away like a rag doll.

The staff of Fengjun Security then realized what was happening and quickly surrounded Chen Yansen and Lin Maoye to protect them, while two others went to control the man in the windbreaker.

But as soon as they stepped forward, they froze.

There was no need to lift a finger; the man had already fainted, his mouth covered in blood.

It only took three seconds in total.

What the hell!

The boss's strength is terrifying; this person's spleen has probably been ruptured.

The two security guards exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves.

Coming to his senses, Lin Maoye looked down at his chest and saw a hole the size of a grain of rice in his shirt.

He pulled out his MP4 from his pocket, and it was completely pierced from the screen to the back cover by sharp spikes.

If it weren't for this thing stopping me, I'm afraid my life would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Lin Maoye's forehead broke out in a fine layer of cold sweat. He suppressed his lingering fear and anger and thanked Chen Yansen: "Mr. Chen, thank you."

A day earlier, he had been questioned by members of the North American Anguo Association, who tormented him for an entire day before finally releasing him.

He knew in his heart that if he didn't have a good reputation in the academic world of Europe and America, he would have suffered a lot more.

"Mr. Lin, are you alright?"

Chen Yansen asked calmly, his tone full of concern.

It was as if the thrilling scene just now was just a trivial matter.

"It's nothing," Lin Maoye shook his head.

He couldn't help but wonder: Who did it?
Is it the beacon of light?

To prevent himself from serving China's space program?

Or is this a scheme orchestrated by Yunkun Aerospace and China, with the aim of keeping themselves permanently trapped here?

To gain a foothold in the aerospace field in Europe and America, he not only has a solid academic foundation, but also the wisdom to see the situation clearly.

However, since the matter has not yet been fully investigated, he is unable to make an accurate judgment at this time.

Chen Yansen observed the changes in Lin Maoye's expression and chuckled inwardly: Fools tend to only think about one dead end; while smart people are different, they consider multiple possibilities at the same time.

But he didn't care about such doubts!

After all, if we put ourselves in his shoes, in his current situation, we would most likely come to one of these two conclusions as well.

The surrounding passengers gasped in surprise!
Meanwhile, the surrounding passengers witnessed this scene and exclaimed in surprise.

Airport staff, hearing the commotion, rushed over to maintain order while urgently calling for backup from inspection officers.

A short while later, the inspector rushed over and, upon seeing Chen Yansen, immediately approached him and greeted him politely: "Mr. Chen, hello! Could you tell me what happened?"

"This is Mr. Lin Maoye, a top aerospace talent I brought back from the United States. I happened to see this man pop out a dagger from his ring, trying to stab Mr. Lin in the heart, but I kicked him."

Chen Yansen said simply.

A kick?
They kicked someone until they were unconscious?

The inspector was taken aback for a moment, but then he thought that it was normal for Chen Yansen, with his wealth and status, to learn some self-defense techniques. He just didn't know who his coach was, and the force of that kick was too strong.

After listening to Chen Yansen's full description, the inspector immediately frowned, knowing that this matter was beyond his jurisdiction.

"I'll leave this to you. I've already called Mr. Zhao from the Anguo Association, and he'll be in charge of the follow-up investigation and cleanup."

Chen Yansen said lightly.

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

The inspector quickly agreed with a smile and watched Chen Yansen and his group leave.

Logically speaking, since Chen Yansen physically assaulted someone, he should have cooperated with them to go back and give a statement for investigation.

But how could he dare to waste Chen Yansen's time?

He knew better than anyone else that some people were easy to mess with, while others were absolutely untouchable.

Having worked in Yanjing for so long, he understands this principle very well.

After getting into the car, Chen Yansen asked the driver to start the car first. Then he took a bottle of mineral water from the car refrigerator, handed it to Lin Maoye, and said gently, "Mr. Lin, have some water first to calm your nerves."

Lin Maoye took the water, took a small sip, and his emotions calmed down a bit.

Chen Yansen looked at Lin Maoye and said earnestly, "Mr. Lin, I'm very sorry that I couldn't make thorough security arrangements beforehand for today's events."

Lin Maoye held the cold mineral water bottle, the thrilling scene at the airport still replaying in his mind.

The matte blade was only centimeters away from his heart. If it weren't for the MP4 in his pocket that happened to block it, he would most likely have died on the spot.

He looked up at Chen Yansen beside him, and after a moment's consideration, asked, "Mr. Chen, who do you think sent this person just now?"

"There are many possibilities. It could be North America, Europe, Korea, Japan, or even certain forces in Southeast Asia. Of course, it could also be Senlian Capital."

Chen Yansen said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you're joking. I absolutely did not doubt you," Lin Maoye said with an embarrassed smile.

"In short, one thing is certain: the person behind this clearly doesn't want Mr. Lin to join Yunkun Aerospace. This was an accident. If Mr. Lin ultimately decides to work for Yunkun Aerospace, I will help you coordinate resources from the Anguo Association and arrange for a dedicated bodyguard to ensure your daily safety."

Chen Yansen leaned back and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Maoye frowned deeply. He had always preferred a free and open research and development environment and was not used to being followed and watched every day.

However, his own safety was a matter that could not be taken lightly, which put him in a difficult position.

"Mr. Lin, there is no need to rush to make a decision. You might as well visit Yunkun Aerospace's R&D center first, and then consider it slowly."

Chen Yansen saw through his dilemma and then spoke up.

"Alright," Lin Maoye nodded in agreement.

at the same time.

After Chen Yansen and Lin Maoye left, the Anguo Association quickly took over the investigation.

Zhao Hong personally led a team to immediately retrieve surveillance footage from the relevant areas of the airport.

The surveillance footage clearly recorded the entire process from the attacker approaching Lin Maoye to carrying out the assassination, and every detail was repeatedly studied by investigators from the Anguo Association.

By this time, investigators had also ascertained the attacker's identity and background.

Surprisingly, the man was from Annam.

He served in the military and worked as a mercenary in Africa for two years. After returning to Annam in 2011, he opened a coffee shop to make a living.

Beyond that, there was no further useful information.

The other party's movements and bank accounts were mostly located overseas, and the clues were scattered and hidden, making it difficult to trace the source behind them.

At present, we can only contact the central government in Annam and request their cooperation in conducting follow-up investigations.

Zhao Hong repeatedly played the moment the attacker flicked out his dagger. The skillful movements and precise timing were something that ordinary mercenaries could not do; it was more like the work of a professionally trained assassin.

“Check who his employer was when he was a mercenary in Africa, and check if there are any irregularities in the source of funds for the coffee shop he opened after returning to Annam. Ask our colleagues at the Foreign Affairs Association for assistance.”

Zhao Hong instructed the investigator beside him, his voice carrying an unquestionable seriousness: "If the other party does not cooperate, then this matter will be pinned on Annan."

After saying this, a hint of fierceness flashed between his brows.

Daring to cause trouble at a place like Yanjing Airport is a slap in the face for him, and it will directly affect his future.

The investigator responded and quickly walked out of the office.

Zhao Hong then turned his attention back to the screen and began to analyze the situation carefully.

Suddenly, he pressed the pause button.

Before entering the airport, the attacker bought a bottle of water at a convenience store on the street corner. At that time, he took off his fisherman's hat to wipe his sweat, revealing a small tattoo behind his ear.

It was a snake-like pattern, and Zhao Hong's heart sank.

He vaguely remembered the tattoo; the suspect arrested in a human trafficking case cracked by the patrol association last year also had the same mark on his body.

the other side.

Chen Yansen and his entourage have already entered the R&D center located in the Yongfeng Industrial Base.

Looking out the car window, Lin Maoye was first struck by a huge circular building with a special glass exterior that shimmered with a faint deep blue luster in the sunlight, resembling a space capsule suspended above the ground.

The building in front of us is a landmark of the Yongfeng Industrial Base, and it was previously owned by a P2P company.

Later, the company's owner fled to the United States overnight due to business failure, and the matter was left unresolved.

Subsequently, it was decided that the building, along with the surrounding industrial area of ​​over 400,000 square meters, would be donated to Yunkun Aerospace.

"This building is the core laboratory of the R&D center, but because we are still recruiting, there are not many staff members at present, but the equipment inside is the most advanced in China."

For example, quantum materials analyzers can accurately detect the molecular structure of aerospace materials, and large vacuum simulators can simulate the space environment and test the performance of rocket components under extreme conditions.

Chen Yansen looked out the window and introduced the topic in a leisurely manner.

After the car came to a stop, Chen Yansen led Lin Maoye through two security checkpoints and then into the core laboratory.

Upon entering, Lin Maoye's pupils constricted slightly.

In the spacious laboratory, dozens of researchers, dressed in white work clothes, were busy in front of various precision instruments. The LED screen displayed the simulation data of each group in real time, and a series of complex formulas scrolled on the screen.

"Mr. Lin, this is Liao Shizhe, the head of the power department and the former chief engineer of the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology."

Chen Yansen pointed to a man in his fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses and introduced him.

"Mr. Lin, I've long admired your work! I've read your paper 'Research on Fatigue Strength of Aerospace Composite Materials' published in Acta Futura several times; the materials science perspectives in it are very insightful!"

Liao Shih-che extended his right hand, showing extreme politeness and respect.

Although he was a few years older than Lin Maoye, he knew in his heart that he was still far behind Lin Maoye in terms of academic standing.

"Mr. Liao, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lin Maoye responded with a smile, his face showing no arrogance whatsoever.

Following that, Liao Shih-che led Lin Mao-ye on a tour of the laboratory, and the two finally stopped in front of a quantum materials analyzer.

This instrument is a new product developed and manufactured by the Science Association using the Zhulong G1051 CNC machine tool. It has extremely high resolution, and its accuracy is a level higher than that of equipment in Europe and the United States.

On the instrument screen, the molecular structure of aerospace composite materials is clearly presented in the form of a three-dimensional image. The arrangement of each atom is clear at a glance, and the molecular motion trajectory of the material under different temperature environments can even be observed in real time.

"A new product? To be honest, NASA's quantum materials analyzer doesn't even have that level of precision."

Lin Maoye reached out and gently touched the outer casing of the instrument, exclaiming in amazement.

Chen Yansen stood behind the two of them, smiled, and didn't say anything.

Previously, in order to develop EUV lithography machines, he not only successfully developed the Zhulong G1051 high-precision machine tool, but also improved and upgraded the technical solution of the thin film interferometric thickness gauge.

In fact, a major technological breakthrough can often bring development opportunities to multiple industries. For example, the blue tablet can be used in both software hardening engineering and clinical treatment of heart disease.

Therefore, with the advancements in various fundamental technologies as a foundation, it is only natural that more sophisticated equipment will be developed subsequently.

……

……

"Lin Maoye was attacked and killed in China? Who did it?"

On the other side of the ocean, at the headquarters of the North American National Security Association in the beacon of the United States, O'Connor asked in a shocked tone.

"They are said to be Annamese."

Grant replied immediately.

Annamese?
O'Connor squinted, pondered for a moment, and then instructed Grant, "Communicate with the Prism Department and focus on gathering intelligence on the Little Days region."

“Yes, boss,” Grant replied.
