Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

boom!

Gunshots rang out suddenly.

The flames flashed briefly across the controlled area.

Time seemed to slow down dramatically at that moment.

The madness on Lu Chengye's face.

Lin Jian'an's figure as he lunged forward.

Metal fragments flying in the air.

Everything was frozen in that instant.

next second.

The bullet grazed Lin Jian'an's shoulder.

boom!

Type it directly into the console.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Alarms blared throughout the central control area.

Meanwhile.

Lin Jian'an had already rushed to the front of the core of the Sky Dome.

The entire transparent cabin was hidden behind him.

The system voice also resounded in my mind at that moment.

Permission transfer complete.

[Celestial Core Takeover Successfully]

The Sky Project database has been locked.

Data retention rate: 100%

[Industrial machine data saved successfully]

[Aero-engine data saved successfully]

[New Materials Database Successfully Saved]

[Project Sky is preserved intact]

Upon hearing this series of prompts...

Lin Jian'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Successful.

The most important thing was saved.

On the other side...

Lu Chengye stood frozen in place.

The expression on his face changed from madness to astonishment.

Then, the shock turned into despair.

"impossible……"

"This is impossible..."

He staggered back a step.

He stared intently at the central transparent cabin.

Because of this moment.

The core of the celestial dome has completely changed.

The flashing red alerts all disappeared.

Instead, stable blue light is used.

All control permissions were taken over.

The destruction process was also completely terminated.

A twenty-year plan.

Twenty years of planning.

At this moment.

Everything vanished in an instant.

"We lost..."

Lu Chengye muttered to himself.

"I actually lost..."

Just then.

Hurried footsteps could be heard outside.

Zhao Changhe led his team and finally broke through the blockade.

They stormed into the central control area.

When I saw Lu Chengye holding a gun.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Put down your weapons!"

"Put down your weapons immediately!"

Dozens of guns were aimed at the same time.

Lu Chengye acted as if he hadn't heard.

He just stood there blankly.

Looking at the core of the celestial dome.

It was as if it had lost its soul.

The first thing Gu Changfeng saw when he rushed in was the bloodstains on Lin Jian'an's shoulder.

He completely exploded on the spot.

"Jian'an!"

Are you injured?

Lin Jian'an looked down.

My shoulder is burning with pain.

But it's not a big problem.

It's just a scratch.

"He won't die."

Gu Changfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned to look at Lu Chengye.

His eyes suddenly turned fierce.

"Old man!"

"You still dare to fire?"

He then prepared to rush over.

As a result, Zhao Changhe grabbed him.

"Don't act impulsively."

"He can't escape now."

indeed.

At this moment, Lu Chengye was completely powerless to resist.

Because of his greatest reliance.

Project Sky.

It's gone.

Just then.

Lu Chengye suddenly smiled.

His laughter was tinged with sadness.

"Zhao Changhe".

"Do you know?"

"Actually, I've always looked down on you guys."

Zhao Changhe looked at him coldly.

"And now?"

Lu Chengye remained silent for a few seconds.

Their gaze fell on Lin Jian'an.

"Now I've discovered..."

"I didn't lose to you."

"I lost to him."

Everyone looked at Lin Jian'an at the same time.

Lu Chengye continued:

"Without him."

"Night Owl won't be exposed."

"The Eastern Industrial Project will not fail."

"Project Sky will not end."

From beginning to end.

"He is the biggest variable."

The air grew quiet.

No one objected.

Because that's the truth.

It started with the Far East trade case.

Then came the industrial mother machine program.

Then we went to the Xishan base.

Lin Jian'an changed the situation time and time again.

Even the system gave it extremely high praise.

Just then.

A system notification suddenly sounded.

Main quest completed.

The Night Owl organization has been destroyed.

Project Sky successfully recovered.

[Rewards are being distributed]

next second.

A flood of information rushed into my mind.

[Obtained: Future Industrial Map]

[Access: Advanced Materials Database]

[Gain: Next-generation powertrain design concepts]

[Elevated System Privileges]

[Current Level: Advanced Industrial Civilization]

boom!

Even Lin Jian'an.

My heart was racing at that moment.

A map of the future of industry!

Just from the name, you can tell how exaggerated it is.

Moreover, it's one of the highest-level rewards in the system.

said with no exaggeration.

As long as the technology inside is gradually extracted.

The pace of industrial development will be completely rewritten in the coming decades.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an's eyes gradually brightened.

On the other side...

Lu Chengye suddenly spoke.

"Lin Jian'an".

"May I ask you one last question?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Zhao Changhe wanted to stop it.

But Lin Jian'an waved his hand.

"Go ahead and ask."

Lu Chengye remained silent for a long time.

He said slowly:

"If it were you."

How will you complete Project Sky?

this problem.

Quiet down the entire control area.

Everyone looked at Lin Jian'an.

Because everyone wants to know the answer.

Lin Jian'an simply smiled.

Then he slowly said:

"It's very simple."

"go home."

Lu Chengye was stunned.

"go home?"

"right."

Lin Jian'an nodded.

Technology is not something one person can do alone.

"It's not from any particular organization."

"It belongs to the country."

"It belongs to countless scientific researchers."

"It belongs to those who contribute silently."

"A true industrial rise."

"It has never been about conspiracies."

"It is through the efforts of generation after generation."

"so."

"The best ending for Project Sky".

"It's about going home."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Lu Chengye stared blankly at Lin Jian'an.

He remained silent for a long time.

A long time passed.

He suddenly laughed.

She laughed very softly.

I'm also very tired.

"I see."

"So that's where the problem lay..."

Until this moment.

He seemed to finally understand something.

Then.

He slowly lowered the gun in his hand.

"I surrender."

Click.

The sound of handcuffs locking echoed.

The founder of Night Owl, who once stirred up a storm for twenty years.

It's finally over.

......

three days later.

Beijing.

The highest-level conference room.

Chen Zhenhua.

Dean Zhou.

Zhao Changhe.

And dozens of important leaders were all present.

Center of the conference table.

A thick stack of documents was laid out.

The document cover has only four characters.

Project Sky

After three days of work.

All data from the Xishan base has been compiled.

The result shocked everyone.

Industrial machine tools.

Numerical control system.

Aviation power.

New materials.

Automated production line.

There are even a large number of advanced technological ideas.

Its value is immeasurable.

Dean Zhou's voice trembled with excitement.

"These technologies."

"It can save us at least ten years of detours."

Someone nearby immediately corrected him.

"more than."

"A conservative estimate is more than fifteen years."

The meeting room fell silent immediately.

Everyone understands what this means.

And just then...

Chen Zhenhua spoke slowly.

"Gentlemen."

Who was the biggest contributor to this operation?

The group looked at each other.

They then laughed at the same time.

The answer is obvious.

next second.

The conference room door opened.

Lin Jian'an walked in.

His shoulder was still wrapped in gauze.

But he's in good spirits.

I saw him.

Everyone stood up at the same time.

This scene.

The guards at the gate were dumbfounded.

Because of the person who can get so many leaders to stand up together.

That's far too little.

Chen Zhenhua said with a smile:

Comrade Jian'an.

Welcome back.

Applause erupted in the conference room.

Passionate and enduring.

This moment.

Nobody treated him like a young factory manager.

They are the true pillars of the nation.

Lin Jian'an looked at everyone.

He then glanced at the "Sky Project" on the table.

Suddenly I felt a pang of emotion.

It started with the Red Star Machinery Factory.

We've come this far.

it is finally over.

but.

Just then.

The system voice sounded again.

[A new era has begun]

The blueprint for future industry has been unlocked.

[New Main Quest Released]

[Goal: To build the world's leading industrial power]

[Phase One Mission Begins]

[Establish a national-level industrial science and technology park]

[Reward: A prototype of controlled nuclear fusion theory]

boom!

See the last line.

Lin Jian'an's eyes froze instantly.

Controlled nuclear fusion?

Good guy.

This system really doesn't intend to let itself be idle.

And in the conference room.

Nobody knows yet.

An era far more magnificent than Project Sky.

The curtain is about to rise.
