"Wait, you're saying your brother is Liu Conglin?" Dr. Zhang exclaimed in surprise.
He naturally knew this famous newly rich man of Chinese descent; he had even dealt with him when he was working abroad.
However, he had a very bad impression of him, feeling that he was a sycophantic person who had said many derogatory things about China in public.
So this guy's been faking it all along?
Is this what they mean by appearing treacherous despite being outwardly loyal?
Liu Chongyu nodded: "When we invited you to the Yatoushan base, we conducted extensive research and consultations, and even asked my brother for his opinion. He said you have a simple and sincere patriotism."
Dr. Zhang was instantly embarrassed.
He recalled that he seemed to have called that guy ungrateful to his face.
He was quite the radical youth back then. Although he was dissatisfied with many things in China, he strongly identified with his identity as a Chinese from Great Xia.
He particularly despised those who belittled their own country after going abroad, which led to him being attacked and antagonized by some people, and this was one of the reasons he later returned to China.
“I misunderstood my brother,” Dr. Zhang said, his skin thickened, and he quickly composed himself. “Director Liu, give me his phone number. I’ll apologize to him over the phone.”
“An apology isn’t necessary, but you can keep in touch,” Liu Chongyu said with a smile. “We’re all working for Mr. Bai.”
"Director Liu has such a broad vision!" Zhang Yu stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and gave a thumbs up.
The thought that someone who had never had any connection with Bai Long before had suddenly become a Dragon Guard made him feel increasingly bitter.
Just as Liu Chongyu was about to speak, he suddenly heard a cell phone ring.
Zhang Yu answered the phone without hesitation, and an excited shout came from the other end: "Success! Mr. Zhang, our experiment was a success!"
"Ooh... Ga!"
Zhang Yu was so excited that he accidentally swallowed the steamed bun, which got stuck in his throat, and his face quickly turned red.
Liu Chongyu was startled and quickly handed over the soy milk he hadn't had time to drink: "Wait a minute, rinse it with soy milk."
It took Zhang Yu a minute to hurriedly swallow the bun that was stuck in his throat.
He was holding back tears, but after calming down, he immediately picked up his phone and asked, "You mean the experiment was successful?"
“That’s right,” the person on the other end of the phone said, equally excited. “We used the blood sample you provided, and with the newly prepared reagent, the color of the reagent changes as soon as the sample gets close…”
"I'm coming right away!" Zhang Yu interrupted.
He forgot about the food in his hand and even forgot to say goodbye to Liu Chongyu, and ran down the mountain as fast as he could.
Seeing him run off in a flash, Liu Chongyu looked at the toolbox lying to the side and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He heard that Bai Long had returned, and he had originally planned to visit him with Zhang Yu.
He even knew that Zhang Yu's unkempt appearance was a deliberate act to gain sympathy in front of Bai Long, since washing one's hair wouldn't take more than a few minutes.
However, it seems there has been a major breakthrough at the lab...
"This guy!" A hint of envy flashed in Director Liu's eyes, and he was also pleased for his old colleague who was the first to curry favor with Bai Long.
……
Chapter 119 Global uproar!
The excitement in Zhang Yu's eyes gradually faded, replaced by relief.
As he held the blood sample extracted from Lei Yao and slowly approached the petri dish in front of him, the originally transparent liquid gradually turned a vibrant color.
It worked!
Several researchers immediately began to flatter him.
"If Mr. Zhang hadn't mentioned tardigrades, we wouldn't have thought of it at all!"
"Combining tardigrades with plant enzymes and phenols extracted from ginkgo... this is truly a brilliant idea!"
……
Zhang Yu listened to their words, waved his hand vigorously, but couldn't help but smile.
He naturally knew that the most crucial element here was actually the runes on this specially made petri dish.
At this point, things have essentially succeeded.
"This is all thanks to everyone!" He said, trying his best to suppress his excitement. "I will recommend everyone for credit, but there are still some finishing touches to be done, and we must make sure it's done perfectly!"
He then went on to state some further requirements.
For color changes, the values need to be broken down into specific values. At the same time, the final device's design should be improved, and an LCD screen and prompt functions should be added.
He had planned these things long ago, and he coordinated with other external units to do some things that were inconvenient for researchers like himself. Now, more detailed testing is needed, and all of this needs to be integrated.
What he intended to give Bailong was not a crudely made dragon energy detector, but a dragon-finding compass that incorporated modern industry and would catch Bailong's eye!
There are still a few of those "rune culture dishes" that Guan Mi commissioned to make, more than enough to make a few samples.
He figured he could finish it soon if he sped up the process.
Thinking about Bai Long's reaction when he saw this thing, Dr. Zhang's face showed a strong sense of anticipation.
……
Guan Mi pouted, looking quite dissatisfied.
"Mr. Bai has new dragon guards again." She said sourly.
“He’s perfect for the job,” Bailin said, “and he’s only a Dragon Armor Guard.”
There are plenty of spots available for the Dragon Armor Guards, so sending someone we like out wouldn't be a waste, and besides, it's not like we can't take them back.
He is currently short-staffed.
Guan Mi realized she was being a bit unreasonable and said with a wronged expression, "I also want to go out with Mr. Bai."
Bai Long had initially said he was going out for a trip, but she later learned that he was taking Liu Sheng with him, which made her incredibly envious.
"I'm going out to do serious business," Bai Lin said with a helpless rub of her head with his paw, and smiled, "I'll take you out another time."
"That's a deal!" Guan Mi's face instantly lit up with an excited smile. "Pinky promise!"
"Naive!" Bai Lin loosened his grip, letting her pull away.
"What happened during Mr. Bai's trip? Did you find anything at Changbai Mountain?" Guan Mi asked with great interest, his head held high.
“Of course.” Bai Lin picked out and described the section of the dragon’s tail from Changbai Mountain.
That section of the dragon's tail was a pretty good haul.
Compared to that, the dragon's skeleton is like roadside trash.
Even with Bai Lin's mediocre skill in crafting, he could still forge a genuine magic weapon using it.
Under Guan Mi's persistent questioning, he talked about his trip to the Da Ying Museum and his visit to Girls' Island.
Upon hearing Bai Lin frankly admit that he had used soul-searching magic on Prince Will, Guan Mi was astonished: "So it was Mr. Bai who did it!"
She continued, "There's a huge uproar online right now, everyone's saying he's sick and they've brought in a lot of mental health specialists to treat him..."
Guan Mi said, "There are rumors that he smashed his brain by throwing things and became an idiot, and there are also rumors that the United States was dissatisfied with him and had its envoy poison his food... In just one day, all sorts of rumors are flying around!"
"This is the hottest news both domestically and internationally right now!" Guan Mi said, his face beaming with excitement. "I never imagined that it was just something Mr. Bai did casually, and no one even noticed!"
She straightened her back, her face full of pride.
She suddenly remembered that Bai Lin had told her more than once that he could solve any problem in the world. At that time, she was still skeptical, but now she realized that Bai Long was not lying.
Bai Lin casually glanced at the television in front of him, which was broadcasting the news.
Guan Mi's repeated exclamations of "Mr. Bai is so amazing" did not stir much emotion in him.
This is a very ordinary thing.
No one feels proud of stepping on an ant.
Seeing that Bai Lin didn't speak, Guan Mi asked about the Girl Island.
The name "Girls' Island" sounded strange to her.
Bai Lin was about to speak when he suddenly saw the content of the news. He was slightly surprised, then turned to Guan Mi and said, "Look at the news."
He used the remote control to turn up the volume.
Upon hearing the host's voice, Guan Mi turned her head in surprise.
"Good morning, everyone. We are now turning our attention to a breaking news event in the United States. Former US President Clark just held a press conference to reveal the inside story of his creation, 'Island of Girls'..."
"He posted numerous photos and videos on social media, announcing the list of those allowed to enter the island, which is reportedly including the current President Sam."
Guan Mi stared in disbelief at the short video clip that the host then announced.
The host had a serious expression and spoke in a heavy tone.
"The press conference has just ended, and tens of thousands of people in the United States have already marched and gathered in front of the White House. However, the top brass of the United States insists that the above videos were all AI-generated and is preparing to sue Clark..."
"We will continue to follow up and report on the details."
The host had already started talking about other news, but Guan Mi was still in a daze for a long time.
These videos and photos, released "personally" by Clark, along with the list of people allowed on the island, went viral online.
The world was in uproar!
Less than an hour after the news report, the number of people marching in the United States had increased dozens of times from the initial 10,000.
Similar protests have also occurred in Europe.
After all, the long list included many celebrities from various European countries, and even some scientists and cultural and entertainment figures who originally had good reputations saw their reputations plummet.
Suddenly, the news about the Ying Kingdom royal family, which had been so popular, was no longer attracting much attention.
On the contrary, Prince Will's brothers raised their concerns about his inclusion on the island's entry list, suggesting that a different heir apparent should be chosen.
On this day, the media were treated to a grand feast.
Journalists from all over the world are staking out the names or videos of the people featured, and even a single useful piece of information can easily garner over a million views.
The U.S. government exerted strong pressure, demanding that various social media platforms delete posts and ban comments, but it was simply not enough to block them all, and even provoked strong protests from the public.
In an attempt to divert attention, Watanabe Ichijo's story was posted online.
This superhuman guy caused a small sensation earlier.
After all, he escaped unscathed despite the military's encirclement and suppression, and even the death of the island nation's prime minister was related to him.
Even now, he is still active in various parts of the island nation, and he occasionally causes some disturbances.
The United States has been suppressing the spread of the news only to avoid escalating the impact and affecting its own plans.
Furthermore, the island nation attributed the prime minister's accident to a car crash.
Therefore, this incident, which occurred in an island nation, only attracted some attention at the beginning, and did not cause much of a stir on the internet later.
Even if ordinary people have heard of it, they would only think that it is a highly skilled person who has undergone special training and has the qualities of a special forces soldier seeking revenge.
Even if some videos slip through the net and are posted online, ordinary people will assume they are movie clips.
It's simply too far-fetched for ordinary people to possess superhuman strength and speed.
However, as the situation on Girl Island escalated, in order to divert attention, the United States had no choice but to expose Watanabe Ichijo's affair.
They even released the video!
The video of Watanabe Ichijo casually overturning a car, grabbing the cannon barrel and swinging the tank, smashing the island nation's prime minister into a bloody pulp, instantly caused a huge uproar on the internet.
Many people joked that the car accident involving the island nation's prime minister was different from ordinary car accidents.
As a result, a large portion of the netizens who were criticizing Girl Island turned their attention to Watanabe Ichijo.
After all, such a superhuman guy is even more amazing.
In order to gain traffic, some online celebrities travel to island countries to follow him and film videos.
There was this guy who was desperate for fame. After tracking him down, he deliberately provoked him by spraying him in the face with a water gun.
Then, the internet celebrity who had successfully pulled off the prank and was laughing heartily had his heart removed in front of everyone by Watanabe Ichijo.
With the help of Sam's official channels, the video went viral online, attracting more and more attention.
Various rumors about him spread like wildfire.
