Chapter 495: Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier Approved, San Da Ye

In the Research Base conference room, the atmosphere was so heated it seemed to sizzle.

Lin Shengli stood at the head seat, clutching a document in his hand, his voice booming:

"I have good news for everyone— the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier is officially approved!"

The room erupted in a roar.

Lin Zhengpeng rose excitedly: "Dad, the funding and maintenance costs…"

"Solved!" Lin Shengli slapped the document onto the table, "Our Multi-phase Rectifier Generator Patent has already earned the nation five hundred million dollars! With the special national allocation, it's enough to build a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier, and the maintenance for the next ten years is covered!"

At those words, the team members instantly boiled over with excitement.

Hanna's eyes sparkled: "Lin, this is a historic moment! With this money, we can employ all the most advanced technologies!"

Lin Qinhua said excitedly: "The Nuclear-powered endurance and power are more than three times that of conventional propulsion, allowing twenty extra aircraft on board!"

Ding! Host solved the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier funding problem, triggering the "National Heavy Weapon" skill, Nuclear Reactor Miniaturization Development progress +40%, unlocking "Stealth Hull Design" technology!

The system prompt sound rang, Lin Shengli's mouth twitched, and he announced:

"Zheng Peng will handle Nuclear Reactor Assembly, Zheng Cheng will optimize the hull structure, Qinhua will coordinate with Hanna to finalize the Stealth Coating! In three months, produce the complete design drawings of the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier!"

The team sprang into action, and the laboratory once again rang with the roar of machines and voices of discussion.

Meanwhile, at the Nanluoguxiang Courtyard, San Da Ye Yan Bu Gui was pacing around his home.

He had spent his life scheming, and upon learning that Lin Shengli had been promoted to Major General, the little abacus in his mind clicked loudly.

"Dad, you should think of a way, I've been unemployed for over half a year, Lin Shengli is now a General, a single word from him could get me a good job!"

Yan Jiefang sat beside them, anxiously scratching his ears and cheek.

Yan Bu Gui rolled his eyes, gave Yan Jiefang a cold stare, and said:

"What's the hurry? I'm his San Da Ye, he can't refuse me face."

Speaking, he rummaged through boxes to pull out a treasured Zhongshan suit, and also took a brand‑new notebook from a drawer, saying:

"Come, follow me to the Research Base, say I'm delivering 'Encouragement Study Notes' to Shengli, and casually bring up your matter."

The father and son hurried, excited, to the Research Base entrance, but were stopped by a guard.

"Comrade, we're looking for Lin Shengli. I'm his San Da Ye, retired teacher Yan Bu Gui!" Yan Bu Gui puffed out his chest, assuming the elder's bearing.

Guard: "General Lin is busy with a defense project; no outsiders allowed."

"Outsiders?" Yan Bu Gui hurried, "I'm his Siheyuan neighbor, watched him grow up—how could I be an outsider?"

Just then, Lin Shengli's guard passed by, recognized Yan Bu Gui, and reported it inside.

Lin Shengli was reviewing the reactor data sent by Hanna, and upon hearing that, frowned:

"Let them in."

In the reception room, as soon as Yan Bu Gui saw Lin Shengli, he immediately plastered a smile:

"Shengli, congratulations on your promotion to Major General and becoming an Academician—truly bringing glory to the family!"

"I specially brought you my compiled 'Encouragement Study Notes'; they're my lifelong teaching insights—let the kids see them, they'll surely be useful!"

Lin Shengli glanced at the yellowed notebook and thought: "I didn't become a Major General overnight; coming to me now can't be good news."

Thinking that, he spoke directly:

"San Da Ye, if you have something, just say it straight."

Yan Bu Gui rubbed his hands, pulling Yan Jiefang over: "Since Jiefang was dismissed last time, he's been idle at home. Now you're so capable—could you arrange a job for him at the base? Even a logistics post will do!"

Yan Jiefang quickly nodded: "Shengli Ge, I can endure any hardship, just be kind to me!"

Lin Shengli set the document down, smiling: "San Da Ye, you're a retired teacher; you should know the rules."

"The Research Base is a national strategic site; hiring requires strict assessment, not something I can decide with a single word."

"Besides, you don't even know your son's level? He didn't finish middle school, doesn't grasp basic math, physics, chemistry—what could he do at the base? Cause trouble?"

Yan Jiefang's face flushed instantly: "I… I can sweep floors, move things!"

"Even logistics staff at the base must have at least a high school education and pass political vetting."

Lin Shengli said unambiguously, "If you truly want him to have a job, have him enroll in a technical school to learn a trade; don't think about using a backdoor."

Yan Bu Gui persisted: "Shengli, we're just neighbors, please make an exception…"

"San Da Ye, Siheyuan, I do respect you, but the defense industry cannot tolerate any nepotism!"

"Alright, you can go back; I'm busy right now."

Lin Shengli said that and walked straight into the laboratory.

Hanna approached with a data report and said:

"Lin, I've optimized the small reactor data from Hans Guo; with our Composite Pipe Material Technology, the reactor volume can be compressed to half its original size!"

Lin Zhengpeng added: "Dad, the hull structure design is ready, using Stealth Design, reducing radar cross‑section by 60%!"

Lin Shengli stared at the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier model on the screen, his gaze firm:

"Good! Tomorrow we'll report to the nation and officially approve the 'Longteng‑hao' Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier!"

Ding! Host officially advanced the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier approval, triggering the "Strong Army" skill, whole‑team research efficiency +30%, Nuclear Power adaptation progress +25%!

The news quickly rose to the national level, and the leader personally approved: "Full support—give money where money's needed, personnel where personnel's needed; we must build a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier for Daxia!"

Meanwhile, far in the West, the White Eagle Defense Department, upon learning Daxia was building a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier and had solved the funding issue, erupted in panic.

"Impossible! How could they have so much money?" the Defense Minister slammed the table and roared.

"Their Multi-phase Rectifier Generator Patent was sold to over a dozen countries, earning hundreds of millions of dollars!" the Intelligence Director's face turned grim.

"Immediately contact Hans Guo and order them to cease all technical support to Daxia!" the Defense Minister ordered.

But they didn't know that Lin Shengli's team had already achieved technological independence.

The next day, Hanna looked at the Western sanctions announcement and smiled to Lin Shengli:

"Lin, their sanctions are useless to us."

Lin Shengli nodded, his gaze turning to the window: "The more they obstruct, the faster we must move."

"Before long, the Dragon Soaring will set sail for the ocean, letting the whole world know that Daxia's defense forces are no longer something anyone can manipulate!"

On the Siheyuan side, news that Yan Bu Gui and his son had hit a wall spread quickly.

Yi Zhonghai heard it and merely said lightly: "It's self-inflicted; Shengli is now a person doing big things—how could he be held back by these trifles?"

Yi Dama echoed: "Exactly, Old Yan has always loved scheming his whole life; this time he hit an iron plate."

Meanwhile, Yan Bu Gui was so angry at home he didn't even eat dinner, and San Da Ma complained: "I told you not to go, but you wouldn't listen; now look, you not only failed to accomplish anything, you also strained the relationship!"

Yan Bu Gui sighed and said: "That's not the case; Shengli even said that in the courtyard, he still respects me more."

"Perhaps we're really making things difficult for him; he might not have this authority."
