Chapter 500: Aviation Electronics Test Encounters a Minor Obstruction, Liu HaiZhong Stirs Up Trouble and Is Subdued

The farce at the siheyuan hasn't ended yet.

After Liu HaiZhong kicked Qin Huairu to the ground, his anger hadn't subsided.

He stood at the courtyard gate, in front of everyone, and shouted: "Lin Shengli, you little bastard, shameless! What's so great about being just a general?"

Liu Guangfu hurried over, tugging at his arm: "Dad, stop scolding, it's bad if people hear."

"What's wrong with being heard? I'm not afraid of him!" Liu HaiZhong shook off his hand, eyes wide: "If he doesn't arrange a job for you, I'll go cause a scene at the research base until he gives in!"

As soon as he said that, everyone in the courtyard froze.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, unable to hold back: "Old Liu, don't act recklessly! The research base is a key national site, no trouble allowed!"

"Acting recklessly?" Liu HaiZhong turned to glare at Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, you sit there talking without back pain! Lin Shengli is your nephew, so of course you're not worried! My son has no job, the whole family will be drinking northwest wind—what else can I do but cause a scene?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head, too lazy to argue with him.

This man has lost his mind; saying more is useless.

Liu HaiZhong paid no heed, went back inside, grabbed an old coat, and pulled Liu Guangfu along: "Come on! Let's go to the research base with Dad—today we must make Lin Shengli give us an explanation!"

The father and son left the courtyard in a menacing manner.

Qin Huairu was still sitting on the ground crying; seeing them leave, her eyes filled with despair.

She knew that Liu HaiZhong's disturbance meant the situation could no longer be contained.

Meanwhile, at the research base, the atmosphere was tense and busy.

The aviation electronics prototype test was being prepared in full swing.

Lin Shengli stood beside the test bench, his eyes fixed on the parameters on the screen.

Hanna hurried over with the test report: "Lin, the radar antenna's precision is slightly off, lower than expected by 0.1 unit, which could affect lock stability."

Lin Shengli furrowed his brow.

0.1 unit may seem small, but it could cause a fatal error in actual combat.

"Have the technical group check immediately—is it a parts issue or an algorithm problem?" Lin Shengli ordered in a low voice.

"We're already looking into it!" the Aviation Electronics Group Leader rushed over, voice urgent: "Preliminary judgment is that the algorithm optimization is insufficient; we're adjusting the parameters."

Lin Shengli nodded, eyes firm: "Give you half an hour—it must be solved! The US military F-14's radar lock precision is 0.3 unit; we need to achieve under 0.2 to gain an advantage."

"Understood!"

The technical group members immediately gathered and began a rapid discussion.

The sound of keyboards clacked densely; every face showed concentration.

Just then, a noisy shout came from the base gate.

"Lin Shengli! Come out!"

"You ungrateful wretch, get out here!"

The guard's face changed; he hurried to Lin Shengli's side: "General, it's Liu HaiZhong and his son shouting at the gate, trying to force their way in."

Lin Shengli's gaze instantly turned icy.

This Liu HaiZhong is really pushing his luck.

"Continue the test, I'll handle this." Lin Shengli told Hanna, then turned and walked out.

At the base gate.

Liu HaiZhong was gripping the guardrail of the guard post, shaking it hard, shouting nonstop.

Liu Guangfu stood beside him, neck shrunk, afraid to speak.

Passing research staff were startled, glancing sideways.

"Lin Shengli! What are you hiding from?" Seeing Lin Shengli approach, Liu HaiZhong shouted even fiercer: "You've made it big and forgotten your old neighbors? What's wrong with my son finding a job? On what grounds do you refuse?"

Lin Shengli stepped before him, eyes like ice: "Liu HaiZhong, have you caused enough trouble?"

"Not enough!" Liu HaiZhong stuck out his neck: "Today you must arrange a job for my son, or I'll keep causing a scene here so everyone sees your true colors as a general!"

"Arrange a job?" Lin Shengli scoffed: "The research base handles national defense, not a place to give your family a sinecure. Liu Guangfu didn't even finish junior high, can't understand basic circuitry—what could he do in there but cause trouble?"

"My son can sweep floors! He can move things!" Liu HaiZhong shouted.

"The base's logistics staff at minimum have high school education and must pass a rigorous political review." Lin Shengli said firmly: "Your son can't even pass the political review—how could he get in? Impossible!"

"You're deliberately making things difficult for me!" Liu HaiZhong grew agitated, reaching to grab Lin Shengli's clothing.

Two guards, quick-eyed and quick-handed, stepped forward and subdued him.

"Let go of me!" Liu HaiZhong struggled: "Lin Shengli, you'll die a bad death!"

Lin Shengli's eyes darkened: "Insulting national merit personnel, disrupting order at the key national defense research site—hand him over to the Joint Defense Team for punishment according to regulations!"

"Yes, General!"

Soon, the Joint Defense Team personnel arrived, taking the still-struggling Liu HaiZhong and the trembling, frightened Liu Guangfu away.

The gate returned to quiet once more.

Lin Shengli turned back to the laboratory.

Just as he entered, the Aviation Electronics Group Leader came running over excitedly: "General! The problem's solved! The algorithm has been adjusted, radar precision reached 0.18 unit, exceeding expectations!"

Lin Shengli's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to the test bench.

On the screen, all parameters of the aviation electronics system were stable at their optimal values.

"Start the test!"

"Yes!"

With a command, the aviation electronics prototype began operating.

Radar scanning, target locking, data transmission… everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

"Success! Locked onto six targets, stable with no deviation!"

In the laboratory, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted.

Lin Shengli's mouth corners turned up.

This minor setback is nothing.

As long as the team works together in unity, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.

Meanwhile, news that Liu Haizhong had been taken away quickly came back from the siheyuan.

Yi Zhonghai heard it and merely said lightly, "He brought it upon himself."

Yan Bu Gui sat at home, secretly feeling relieved.

Fortunately he didn't get involved recklessly; otherwise, the one taken away now would have been him.

The people in the courtyard no longer dare to scheme against Lin Shengli.

They finally understood that Lin Shengli was no longer the youngster who could be easily pushed around as before.

He is a general of Daxia, a pillar of the state.

Whoever dares to provoke him again is just asking for trouble.
