Genius is just the threshold for me!

"The lockdown has not been lifted yet."

After Xu Ziming finished speaking, he took a breath to calm his emotions and looked at Lin Dong and Xu Qingling to give them serious instructions.

"Keep this to yourselves, don't tell anyone else."

If it weren't for Lin Dong having full access to Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's internal system, he could access any information and confidential data he wanted.

The other two's sense of confidentiality has also been proven in practice over the past few years.

Otherwise, no matter how much Lin Dong asked, he wouldn't tell him.

"Okay." Lin Dong nodded.

"Okay, Dad," Xu Qingling replied obediently.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm going out..."

As Xu Ziming spoke, his gaze lingered for a moment on the hands that the two were still holding.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, deciding to avoid seeing it and stay away from it, and turned to go out of the neighborhood to find someone to have tea with.

"Dongdong~"

As Xu Qingling heard the sound of Xu Ziming leaving and closing the door, she suddenly called out to Lin Dong with a touch of emotion and worry.

"Um."

Lin Dong turned around and looked at Xu Qingling curiously: "What's wrong?"

"You can't work too late or overwork yourself in the future..." Xu Qingling said, holding Lin Dong's hand with a worried and anxious expression.

Looking into Xu Qingling's eyes, Lin Dong knew she was worried about Uncle Zhang. He shook her hand in return and replied earnestly, "Okay, I promise you."

Given his current situation, if he has to work long hours every day, the entire Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) will fall apart on the spot.

Although the Red Ghost Bombing Project has kept me busy for the past two months, I've actually only spent a little over an hour each day to get everything done.

For more than an hour, almost half an hour was spent waiting for an email reply.

He spends the rest of his time reading books and browsing the latest papers and cutting-edge scientific discoveries.

Either he wants to satisfy his own interests by tinkering with machines, researching and improving his Hot No. 5 project, and studying the problem of the rotating detonation engine.

"Uh-huh."

Hearing Lin Dong's earnest answer, Xu Qingling smiled happily, her bright eyes sparkling. She picked up a strawberry and offered it to Lin Dong: "This is a reward for you!"

Ding-dong-

[Shenyang Aircraft Corporation Deputy Chief Engineer Zuo]: Chief Engineer Wang, hello. The J-15D carrier-based fixed-wing electronic warfare aircraft project headquarters has assigned us to be in charge of the main key tasks, with Chengdu Aircraft Corporation providing joint assistance.

We currently need Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's (CAC) electronic warfare solutions and design data for the J-16D, as well as assistance from electronic warfare design personnel. When is CAC available?

The shipborne fixed-wing electronic warfare aircraft project was assigned to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation for key tasks, with Chengdu Aircraft Corporation providing joint assistance.

Lin Donggang saw the email that popped up in Wang Xingguo's inbox and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Shen Fei is going to tackle two projects simultaneously?"

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation has now launched a major effort to develop the J-35 carrier-based stealth fighter project.

Unexpectedly, at this point in time, the headquarters will launch the J-15D project and hand it over to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation to tackle together.

Although the core employees of Shenfei who were arrested by Wang Xingguo last time have all returned to their posts except for Chief Engineer Yuan Li, who had heart surgery.

However, managing two large projects simultaneously is still quite stressful.

However, the next moment, Lin Dong remembered that Shenyang Aircraft Corporation had completed the J-15 carrier-based project last year, and all personnel were extremely familiar with the J-15 fighter jet.

With the complete J-16D design as a reference, the actual improvement difficulty will not be too great.

More importantly, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) has been operating too aggressively lately; headquarters probably suspects they're risking their lives...

This way, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) can complete the project, and it would be more appropriate to hand it over to SAC, while also relieving Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) of the espionage pressure.

"The handover of plans and data is simple; just copy them out and arrange for fighter jets to rush over. But the personnel assistance..."

Lin Dong read the email again, and a question arose in his mind.

At Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC), besides him, the only other person capable of taking on the main responsibility for electronic warfare design is Xia Tianqiang.

Although Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) has been continuously implementing the training mechanism for reserve personnel, it has also been carrying out the spirit of passing on knowledge, helping, and mentoring.

When Xia Tianqiang joined the core team of the J-16D project, he arranged for a group of young and talented employees who had passed the test of classified projects and the national security review to mentor him.

But clearly, after more than six months on the J-16D project, these employees are far from being ready to become skilled...

Ring ring—

Before Lin Dong could come up with a solution, the secure cell phone next to him rang.

Lin Dong picked up his phone, glanced at it, and answered the call: "Godfather, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Dong, have you read Shen Fei's email?"

Wang Xingguo's voice came through: "About the J-15D carrier-based fixed-wing electronic warfare aircraft project."

"I've reviewed it. The plan and data handover are straightforward, but the personnel assistance is lacking..."

Lin Dong shook his head: "Right now, only Engineer Xia is capable of handling this task."

"That's exactly what I wanted to talk about: personnel arrangements. Don't assign Engineer Xia, because I'm afraid you'll assign him all at once."

Wang Xingguo said without hesitation, "The headquarters just reported that the enemy has launched the sugar pill program on your father, Engineer Xia, and your Uncle Xu. From now on, when you encounter people you don't know before, you won't know if they are human or ghosts."

I just called your dad, your Uncle Xu, and Engineer Xia to tell them about this. We need to be extra careful going forward. In this situation, it's not appropriate for Engineer Xia to be sent out to provide opportunities for spies.

"The Sugar Pill Project?"

Lin Dong was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood what this meant by "sugar-coated bullets." He then thought of something strange and asked, "Godfather, you're the chief engineer of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group 001. Doesn't the enemy offer you sugar-coated bullets?"

"I received some when I was young, but I was too naive. I saw through it the next day and sent a few leads and spies to the brothers in the National Security Bureau."

Wang Xingguo calmly said, "After that, they looked down on me and stopped delivering to me."

Do you look down on me?

This is because they can't afford to offend you.

Lin Dong instantly understood why the enemy hadn't made any arrangements.

After all, training a spy and establishing a network requires a lot of resources and funds, but to let Wang Xingguo do it like this, even the enemy would feel sorry for him.

"I handled this email. I called Shen Fei and said that we have the plan and data, but not the personnel. I told them to send any questions to the online meeting..."

After Wang Xingguo finished speaking, he said firmly, "When we took over the J-16D project, they didn't send anyone to assist us. Now we don't need to be lenient with them regarding the J-15D either."

"We've given them the complete plan and data. If they can't even understand the plan, they might as well be fired sooner rather than later."

"OK."

Upon hearing that Wang Xingguo had made a decision, Lin Dong immediately stopped paying attention to the matter.

"Nothing much, Xiao Dong, go to sleep early. I'm getting ready to board the plane and go back..." After Wang Xingguo finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a caring reminder from an elder to a younger person.

"So late, and you still have to take a fighter jet back..."

Lin Dong shook his head and muttered to himself as he listened to the busy tone of the phone call, then dialed Comrade Lin Weiliang's number.

"Xiao Dong, what's wrong?" Lin Weiliang answered the phone after it rang less than three times.

"Dad, the spy wants to send me a stepmother. If there's nothing else, come back early..." Lin Dong said without hesitation, getting straight to the point.

"You brat...you really underestimate your dad's self-control, don't you?"

Lin Weiliang couldn't help but laugh and scold when he heard Lin Dong's words, but quickly replied seriously, "Don't worry, things are almost settled today, and I'll go back tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright, be careful."

Lin Dong was relieved to hear this, chatted for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.

The reason I specifically called Lin Weiliang to remind him wasn't because he was exaggerating.

Rather, he had read some internal cases and materials from the National Security Bureau and knew the specific methods and the true value of capitalist sugar-coated bullets.

If the target is an ordinary person, the sweet talk might be a bit more rudimentary.

However, if the target is a high-ranking or important person with extremely high strategic value, these sugar-coated bullets are precisely the plans that professional psychological experts analyze, and are specifically tailored to the target's personality, aesthetics, and human nature.

I like money, so I prepare money; I like surprises, so I prepare surprises; I like beautiful women, so I prepare beautiful women; I like men and don't mind preparing men.

Now that Comrade Lin Weiliang is the richest man in the country, money is no longer an option. It's highly likely that the enemy's sugar pill program is just a way to prepare a stepmother for him...

Human nature has weaknesses.

This kind of method of directly eroding human nature can easily lead to one falling into its trap if one's heart is not firm enough or one is not vigilant enough.

"The Sugar Pill Project, sugar-coated bullets... It seems like something's been forgotten or overlooked?" Lin Dong put down his phone, thought for a moment, and felt like he'd missed something.

But upon closer reflection, Xu Ziming realized that Xia Tianqiang was already at the base, and his own father and Wang Xingguo would be returning in the next couple of days. He didn't sense anything was wrong and immediately shook his head, ignoring the matter.

This kind of covert warfare is outside his scope of learning and ability.

He only glanced at the cases and common methods; if you really asked him to figure it out, he wouldn't be able to.
