94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Yang Jia regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth, but there was no way to take them back now that they were out.

Looking into Lin Yu's smiling eyes, Yang Jia began to doubt for the umpteenth time whether her spy identity had really been exposed.

He could only stand there awkwardly, wanting to say something but unable to, and just wanted to turn off the walkie-talkie and give Lin Yu a good smack.

Let Lin Yu see what true in-depth communication really is.

Although her superiors were still watching her over the walkie-talkie, she had no way out.

Her boss and the other teams were already vying for power with her. Her boss was capable of coming up with such a foolish move as clearing out all the CPUs on the BJ market. If she didn't get any information from Lin Yu, her boss would just shift all the blame onto her.

At that time, she will be all alone and helpless, with no way to report the situation. No matter what she says, people in China will not believe her.

She can only climb higher by firmly holding onto Lin Yu as her trump card.

She believed that once the information she obtained from Lin Yu was transmitted back to China, everyone would support her in betraying US military information.

Yang Jia silently apologized to her American father.

Then, in an instant, I felt the world become clear and bright.

Yang Jia chose to directly betray the American businessmen she had been in contact with.

"One of the businessmen I've met told me..."

"There are people in the US military who are secretly reselling Cray supercomputers."

"8000 million per unit."

"If Mr. Lin really wants to work on artificial intelligence, how about you provide the technology and I'll provide the equipment?"

Lin Yu thought to himself, "Damn it!"

Cray supercomputer?!

This thing is very famous, its reputation is well-known.

The world's first truly supercomputer was created by Raymond Clay, the father of supercomputing.

The first supercomputer dominated the global computing power rankings for decades.

The emergence of the Cray supercomputer has transformed computing power from a concept into a technological force that is changing the world.

Is this something that anyone would resell?

Lin Yu's hand holding the glass bottle trembled slightly.

He knew about it; he always had.

But he never dared to hope that he could get it.

This is the US military's supercomputer!

Is someone reselling them?

Current nuclear physics research and weather simulation.

From national defense and scientific research to the forefront of industry.

These Cray supercomputers can all support this.

Lin Yu's expression became somewhat complicated. He looked at Yang Jia, whose expression was equally complicated. He really didn't expect that this impulsive fishing trip would actually result in catching an unimaginably huge creature.

Lin Yu suddenly realized that Yang Jia wasn't stupid anymore, and neither was Xu Haoxiang.

He even began to feel fortunate that he had been targeted by spies.

Don't even think about getting this kind of thing through official channels.

Only dealers who are involved in such illegal activities could possibly obtain them.

Thinking about how outrageous Commissioner Smith was in his previous life, Lin Yu had already believed most of it.

But he dared not reveal even a hint of his desire, for fear of being manipulated by Yang Jia.

He simply said:

"Cray supercomputer...? Are you serious?"

Lin Yu's complex expression, filled with contempt and suspicion, infuriated Yang Jia.

Before Yang Jia could speak to prove herself, Lin Yu stood up, looked down at her, and touched the big waves on her head:

"Okay, I promise to teach you junior high school knowledge."

Lin Yu walked to Yang Jia's side, looking at Yang Jia with a relieved and kind expression:

"You can't do business without learning."

"Look at you, you believe everything people say."

Yang Jia felt a little uneasy under Lin Yu's gaze.

Lin Yu continued, speaking with a sense of relief about his impressions of Yang Jia:

"I'm sorry, I was very wary of you at first."

"I thought you were just a gold digger who relied on Xu Haoxiang's family background."

Lin Yu squeezed onto Yang Jia's row of leather-covered benches and gently took Yang Jia's hand:

"But now I realize I was wrong."

Yang Jia felt Lin Yu's warm hand and strong arm coming to his door.

I'm somewhat pleased that this kid has finally figured it out.

Next, all she has to do is use her special skill to make both Lin Yu and Da Lin Yu obediently vomit, bow down to her, admit defeat, and beg for mercy.

But to her surprise, what Lin Yu said next was:

"How could you possibly have such thoughts, child?"

Tell me how old you are this year? Do you like your dad or your mom more?

???

Upon hearing this, Yang Jia was taken aback, as if he hadn't understood.

It wasn't until her eyes met Lin Yu's that she sensed his compassionate kindness.

It sounds like they're saying she's mentally challenged.

Yang Jia abruptly pulled his arm away from Lin Yu's hand and angrily said:

"Hey, Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Yu wasn't annoyed; instead, he grabbed her hand back.

"It hasn't been easy for you to grow up like this, I understand, I understand."

"You must have suffered a lot growing up, right?"

"Does eating the same thing every day make a difference?"

Yang Jia felt that all her previous emotions had been wasted. She had lost count of how many times her understanding of Lin Yu had undergone a 180-degree reversal.

Unable to hold back any longer, she glared fiercely at Lin Yu and said:

"Shut up, I'm not an idiot."

"There are actually merchants selling Krecha! I know what this is!"

"It really exists!"

Just as Yang Jia was about to blurt everything out, the ringing of the mobile phone in her backpack pulled her back to reality:

"Excuse me, Mr. Lin, I need to take this call."

After Yang Jiasha fell silent and left, Lin Yu thought to himself that it was a pity.

Hearing the news about Clay's supercomputing, he became somewhat anxious.

This attempt to test the waters was a bit too hasty.

Perhaps someone behind Yang Jia has figured something out.

Yang Jia hurriedly went into the bathroom, hung up the mobile phone, and took out a dedicated walkie-talkie.

The person calling at this time must be her boss; she needs to prevent the cell phone signal from being eavesdropped on.

Sure enough, a stern reprimand from the boss came through the walkie-talkie:

"Yang Jia, what's wrong with you?"

"Is this the kind of news we should be sharing?"

This time, Yang Jia was also furious, feeling that his superiors had made all the wrong moves and had only gotten promoted through connections.

Relying on her closer relationship with Lin Yu, she gained some confidence:

"But the CPU isn't appealing to Lin Yu at all. If he really gives up on the research, how will we get the latest updates?"

"Isn't Lin Yu the person among our spies who has access to the highest level of information?"

"The technologies he mentioned are ones that no one else has been able to discover, yet headquarters says they are real."

The boss fell silent.

This time he lost his mind and came up with the foolish idea of ​​buying up CPUs.

If Yang Jia becomes obsessed with reporting others later, he won't be able to explain it to his superiors.

After considering that China already had its own supercomputer, and that the smaller, secondhand Cray supercomputer wasn't exactly a top-secret technology, they ultimately compromised with Yang Jia.

"Let's put the supercomputing issue aside for now. From now on, make sure your conversations with Lin Yu don't show any unusual behavior."

"Once Lin Yu discovers you're a spy, it's all over."

"I will fabricate a plausible source for the Clay supercomputing matter. You must be extremely cautious in your future interactions with Lin Yu."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jia gracefully walked slowly towards Lin Yu in his line of sight.

After sitting down, he first apologized to Lin Yu:

"I apologize, Mr. Lin, but I have some business matters to attend to, which has taken up your time."

Lin Yu repeatedly said it was no problem, but didn't bring up the matter of Clay's supercomputing, pretending to be completely unconvinced, as if he didn't care at all.
