Chapter 89: The Equipment Department's Request - Is there any technology that can rapidly chang

After explaining everything, Chief Hou mentioned the message that the economic department had brought before his arrival.

"Also, you don't need to worry about the oil subsidies."

"Someone will handle this. Although it's good that you want to pay for it yourself and not burden the country, we're really not so short of money that you have to figure out how to pay even three cents."

Lin Yu scratched his head, mainly because he hadn't discussed this matter with his superiors.

He wouldn't say he would pay for it himself, nor would he say on behalf of the country that the country should pay for it.

"I originally planned to put all the profits from the steel slag titanium extraction technology into this..."

Commander Hou shook his head.

"There's no need for that. At the beginning of each five-year plan, a portion of reserve funds is set aside for emergencies."

"You don't need to worry about this."

Chief Hou's attitude was firm, so Lin Yu nodded.

But I still said it.

"Please hand over the technology for processing steel slag to the state for me, Uncle Hou."

"Zhang Guoqiang knows all the procedures."

"Even without extracting rare metals, the technology to use steel slag as fertilizer and building material is better than just leaving the steel slag there."

Chief Hou and Lin Yu chatted for a long time in a corner, but the people outside knew they were talking about important matters and didn't dare to disturb them.

When they step in again.

The lounge was even more crowded now.

Besides the chief editors Song Shu, Chen Gong, and Zhou Mingcheng.

Chen Guoliang, the chief director of the broadcasting studio, also came.

Upon seeing Lin Yu and Chief Hou return, his eyes lit up instantly, and he sprang from his chair.

"Comrade Lin, Comrade Lin!"

"We're thinking of doing another exclusive interview with you. Do you have time? If it's done, we can broadcast it tomorrow?"

Lin Yu glanced at Chief Hou subconsciously. Most of his things were confidential, and anyone involved would basically sign a confidentiality agreement.

Normally, Zhang Guoqiang would make the judgment that these matters did not involve secrets, but now that Chief Hou was here, he looked directly at Chief Hou.

Seeing Lin Yu looking at him, Chief Hou patted his arm and pushed him forward.

"Go ahead and record it. Besides, your research institute can be made public."

Upon seeing that Chief Hou had agreed, the chief director quickly grabbed Lin Yu.

When Lin Yu was pushed onto the stage, he was still completely dazed.

It's already 1 a.m.

Lin Yu had assumed there weren't many people in the audience.

But most of the audience members who should have left long ago are still sitting in their seats.

No one spoke loudly; they all waited quietly for him and watched him.

The host, Na Wei, walked to the center of the stage, picked up the microphone, and spoke in a steady voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's show should have ended half an hour ago."

"But just now, we received a special notification."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the audience, drawing their attention to Lin Yu.

"With the approval of the government, Comrade Lin Yu is awarded the National Technological Invention Special Prize, and an Advanced Technology Research Institute named after him will be established."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

They are very emotional, and they have been like this ever since Lin Yu took the stage at the 315 Gala.

They initially planned to leave after the party, but after Lin Yu announced his technology, they were so excited that they lingered for a long time.

And now, even better news has arrived!

Everyone spontaneously stood up and clapped with all their might.

Lin Yu stood on the stage, looking at those unfamiliar faces.

Veteran engineers, young workers, government officials, and farmers.

From all corners of the country, from all walks of life.

But at this moment, everyone is applauding him.

The man walked up to Lin Yu and handed him a microphone.

"Comrade Lin Yu, please say a few words."

Lin Yu took the microphone and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he smiled.

"To be honest, I'm still confused."

A burst of good-natured laughter rang out from the audience.

"My supervisor just told me that this research institute is not a reward, but a responsibility."

"I've thought about it, and he's right."

"I, Lin Yu, am just an ordinary person."

"I get hungry, sleepy, and tired, and I'm also afraid when I encounter problems."

"But some things, even if you're afraid, you have to do them."

Lin Yu's gaze was firm.

"The research institute will do more things in the future."

"We will do anything that is useful to the country, such as steel slag treatment, rocket engines, artificial intelligence, and clean energy."

"You may have seen many tabloids that slander me."

Speaking of this, Lin Yu recalled the densely packed little notes that Song Shu had stuck to him in the basement behind him a few days ago.

It also says that Song Shu went to cause trouble for those people on his behalf.

Then his laughter became more open and even a bit flamboyant.

"I'm talking about those who are hiding in the gutter and shooting arrows at me."

"You can continue to hide in the shadows, continue to spread rumors and smear others, and continue to use those despicable methods."

"But I have something to tell you."

"From today onwards, if you ever try to do evil again, you will no longer be dealing with just me, Lin Yu."

"Not only will I, Lin Yu, be monitoring you, but all those who know the truth and are also victims will be monitoring you!"

"Everyone who believes that technology can change lives."

"Everyone who is willing to stand up for a better future."

"They will all strive for this vision!"

Thank you everyone.

After speaking, Lin Yu bowed deeply.

He thought it would be a life-or-death battle before taking office, but he didn't expect so many people to support him, which completely reversed the situation.

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted from the audience.

This is when the evening's party finally came to a complete end.

At 1:45 a.m., Lin Yu finally walked out of the studio.

The night breeze was cool, but it felt exceptionally refreshing on my face.

Lin Yu was also very excited and showed no signs of falling asleep.

Song Shu followed beside him, her hands tightly gripping his arm.

Zhang Guoqiang and several soldiers followed at a distance, cautiously observing their surroundings.

In the distance, Chief Hou stood at the car door, talking to several people.

He waved to Lin Yu when he came out.

"Xiaoyu, come here!"

Lin Yu walked over and found that the people there were all wearing military uniforms.

Under the moonlight, several stars on their shoulders still shone brightly.

"These are leaders from the General Armaments Department who want to talk to you about rocket engines."

Seeing Lin Yu come over and greet him shyly, the leading major general quickly reached out and grabbed Lin Yu's hand.

"You must be Comrade Lin Yu! Seeing is believing! Meeting you is far more impressive than just hearing about you!"

Lin Yu was still a little unaccustomed to this enthusiasm.

"Comrade Lin Yu, we reviewed the batch of documents you obtained from the Soviet Union overnight."

"The RD170's combustion chamber design, the VT20's welding process, and that plasma stealth coating."

The major general's voice was low and deep, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't suppress his excitement.

"These things are enough to save us from taking ten years of detours."

Lin Yu nodded shyly:

"As long as it's useful."

The major general looked directly into his eyes, his expression a mixture of authority and urgency.

"So I wanted to ask you..."

"When does your research institute plan to start working on rockets?"

"How about we upgrade the equipment for our military headquarters first?"

"We've already started using that grid wing that you and your teacher initially worked on, and it's working really well!"
