In the Federation, no one could cover the sky with one hand. The president couldn't, the old man from the Lees of Philadelphia couldn't, and the lady from the Tai family couldn't either. Everyone could at most cover the blazing sun in front of their eyes and clear up the sky above their heads.
Money could do anything, but it wasn't omnipotent. Although the Li family had already put all of their efforts into the presidential election, they were still careful and meticulous in their planning. They didn't let go of any link that could affect the voters.
The Federation's new generation of mecha development involved the shameful agreement between Senator Macklin and Dean Lin, so they naturally wouldn't ignore it. However, even if the Federal Academy of Science and the Li family worked together, they still couldn't completely influence the Shell Motor Company. Thus, they needed the data in the laboratory, but they still had to follow the rules of the game and wait for the written order to arrive.
If that young second lieutenant really didn't have any background, or if he had naturally retreated under great pressure, perhaps Li Xiuzhu wouldn't be so distressed. The problem was that until today, he still didn't know how deep the relationship between that young second lieutenant named Xu Le and the Tai family was. He had some misgivings, so his methods had some twists and turns. Thus, he let Park Ji Ho use those underhanded methods to temporarily remove that young second lieutenant from this matter.
Park Ji Ho was one of Li Xiaotong's people. Li Xiuzhu didn't expect the knife he borrowed to be able to fool many people and make Old Seven uncomfortable, but at least he hoped it could be hidden for a while. His main concern was whether or not this knife was strong enough, sharp enough, and qualified enough to be used by him in the future.
When his secretary told him of Park Ji Ho's death, he was sitting on the sofa by the window, looking at the thousands of lights below. The normal red wine in his hand swayed slightly. A trace of shock flashed through Li Xiuzhu's eyes, but it quickly returned to calmness. It seemed that the knife he had his eyes on wasn't tempered and broke so cleanly. He thought of that young second lieutenant again, and for a moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of vigilance. All of the good feelings he had accumulated during dinner were completely washed away.
Li Xiuzhu shouldn't be wary of Xu Le. That was an outsider who had lost his way and entered the circle. He didn't have any foundation to speak of, and even more so, he couldn't be a threat to him. Even if the other party knew about their plan from Park Ji Ho, there was no time to stop the sealing of the laboratory tomorrow morning.
The problem was that it was already two o 'clock in the middle of the night. After the police found Park Ji Ho's body, they estimated that he died at nine o' clock last night.
Li Xiuzhu didn't have the habit of contacting his subordinates directly. Since it was a secret plan, Park Ji Ho wouldn't report it after it was done. Therefore, these few hours of idle time did not attract his attention. However, Park Ji Ho was dead. He should have been the first to know the news, but it seemed that some people had delayed it for a few hours.
What can I do in a few hours? His extremely handsome face gradually turned cold as he gently turned the wine glass in his hand. Suddenly, he laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head. After making a phone call, he no longer cared about this matter.
Although the young second lieutenant was an unexpected variable, it couldn't affect the overall situation. That guy named Xu Le couldn't have stolen the data from the Husk Institute's laboratory.
This had nothing to do with ability, but with the system. The Federation's system was always stronger than an individual's ability.
…
…
The soft and pleasant sound of electric current was very clear in the quiet laboratory. In the Federation's cutting-edge technology laboratory with low-noise technology, if it weren't for Xu Le's amazing hearing, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear this music-like sound.
The index tree and data axis on the holographic screen quickly flipped, and the schematic of the file shredding continued to operate. Xu Le had already taken off his military uniform. His hands quickly entered the operation instructions on the holographic screen desktop. Beads of sweat covered his forehead.
The design drawings and data model of the electron jet had basically been destroyed. This part of the data was the result of his recent cooperation with Professor Shen. It wasn't entered into the Federation's database management system, so it was very easy to delete. Plus, this was his own research, so even if it was destroyed, it wouldn't be too difficult to pick it up again in the future.
The hissing sound of the file shredding was accompanied by the faint sound of electric current. It was like a simple but extremely beautiful concerto. Under the accompaniment of this song, Xu Le silently and wholeheartedly carried out his own work.
This data had to be destroyed. Otherwise, if the Federal Academy of Science got their hands on it, with their terrifying research abilities, they might only need three days to solve the most critical problem of the new generation of mecha in the Federation.
At 2: 13 am, Xu Le finally raised his head from the holographic screen desktop. He let out a tired breath, feeling the aches all over his body and the hunger in his stomach. Tonight, he had first faced off against seven blades, then killed Park Ji Ho, then sneaked into the Ivy Garden. He had been using the mysterious power in his body all this time. Right now, although his spirit was still full and the mysterious power was still abundant, the wear and tear on his body and the emptiness in his stomach were truly making him uncomfortable.
Outside the laboratory's database, all content related to the electron jet had been completely deleted. In order to erase all traces, Xu Le's fingers didn't stop working for a moment. The database searching ability that had been forcefully trained by Professor Shen was put to good use at this moment. The data content was all outside the database. Presumably, the people who would take over the laboratory tomorrow morning would not notice anything strange.
After doing all this, Xu Le sat in the chair beside the holographic screen desktop. He was silent for a minute, thinking for a minute, and resting for a minute.
The trip to the Ivy Garden at least confirmed Zou Yu's analysis in the black car. The Federal Academy of Science wanted Professor Shen's research results, and the Li family secretly helped. The bridge between them was Ross and Medellin, two politicians who were determined to win the presidency. This combination was truly frightening.
Xu Le naturally wouldn't completely trust Li Xiaotong's cooperation with him. In reality, the Li family's seventh young master, other than having some money, couldn't help him at all. However, the Li family's seventh young master was actually able to spy on Park Ji Ho and find evidence of his betrayal. This ability made Xu Le a little wary.
He deleted the hundreds of initial design blueprints that he and Professor Shen had come up with in the past few days, wiping out all traces of the data. There was no trace of relief on Xu Le's face. He stared at the index tree that flashed incessantly on the holographic screen desktop, a trace of heaviness and helplessness in his small eyes.
The real key lay in the aspect of quantum measurable dynamics that Professor Shen had researched. The reason Xu Le had found the correct path to solve the problem of the new generation MX mecha's electronic jets was because of Professor Shen's guidance. Under the old man's tireless research in the last ten years of his life, under the theories and data models, he had figured out some things.
Although the results that Xu Le had obtained now were important, the truly important ones were still Professor Shen's data models and the functional formulas within the sections.
Right now, he had already destroyed all of the extension designs, but if the Federal Academy of Science took away all of Professor Shen's research results, he believed that it wouldn't take them too long to discover the problem and solve it.
That highly respected head of the Federal Academy of Science, as well as those disciples and grand-disciples of his who occupied key positions in the Federation's scientific community, were definitely not incompetent people. Although Xu Le despised the moral standards of these people, he had to admit that these people didn't rely entirely on plagiarism to get to where they were today. Their own abilities were also incomparably strong.
The database of this laboratory was a one-way exit. It was connected to the core databases of the Federal Academy of Science and the three major military academies, but it couldn't be accessed from the outside. The entrance was only in that office on the second floor of the laboratory. That was why the Federal Academy of Science urgently needed control of this laboratory.
Xu Le's initial plan was to directly transfer all of Professor Shen's academic results over the years directly through the data transfer device. Then, with the help of the blue light device, he would be able to pass through the triple scanning door of the research institute.
Unfortunately, although the database in this laboratory was a one-way exit, for the sake of data security, Old Professor Shen had connected it to the Federal Central Database and carried out electronic data security. No matter who it was, without the permission of the Central Database, once the data was copied or irreversible, it would be reported to the police.
Now, there was a problem in front of Xu Le. He couldn't move Professor Shen's data. It was extremely difficult even if he wanted to quietly destroy the data. However, all of these data would fall into the hands of the Federal Academy of Science tomorrow. This was something that he absolutely didn't want to see. Xu Le couldn't get the permission of the central database, but those people must have already thought of a countermeasure.
Even if he couldn't quietly destroy the data, Xu Le still had other ideas. However, he was still in a minute of silent contemplation. This was the fruit of wisdom that Professor Shen had spent countless years to obtain. If he destroyed it in his own hands, how would he explain it to that old man in the Milky Way Public Cemetery?
There was another problem. Although Xu Le was already familiar with many functional formulas and numerical models, if he didn't have the help of the data in Professor Shen's database, he didn't have a shred of confidence that he would be able to complete the final modification work of the new generation of mecha for the Federation.
What did the Federation's new generation of MX mecha mean? Xu Le understood this better than anyone else. Although he didn't have a shred of goodwill towards the upper echelons of society that controlled this Federation, he also knew that in the increasingly tense situation between the Federation and the Empire, the sooner the Federation completed the research and assembly of the new generation of mecha, the fewer normal, hot-blooded soldiers would die.
On one side, it was direct justice and the resistance of the small fry. On the other side, it was the great benefits of the Federation and the lives of the common people.
To stay or to be destroyed, that was the question.
…
…
One minute later, Xu Le stood up from his chair and stopped thinking about this question. He couldn't understand, so he could only act according to his instincts.
From the database storage rack in the second-floor office, he pulled out the hard storage boxes that were connected to the data cables and power cables. Xu Le looked at these metal objects and couldn't help but pause for a moment. He knew that his next action would destroy Professor Shen's lifetime of hard work. At this moment, he began to struggle in his mind.
"If it's not yours, then you shouldn't have snatched it."
Xu Le took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "F * ck you."
He spat on his hand, raised the heavy Peace Axe in his hand, and smashed it down viciously and decisively at those data storage boxes.
