Incredible Insight: Toy Factory Discovers Swarm Drones

Chapter 228 Wang Dachui: This time it’s not my fault!”How about I yell it again?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously tense atmosphere in the office instantly became strange.

Liu Jianguo stood there with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably after hearing this.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who wore an innocent expression as if he had suffered a great injustice, he felt furious.

’Yell it again?’

’Do you think this is a movie set? Or a rehearsal?’

’And you want to yell it again?’

Liu Jianguo felt his blood pressure rising, and his hand subconsciously reached into his pocket, looking for that familiar bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills.

He felt that the thickness of this kid’s skin had far surpassed any known aerospace material.

Whether it was heat-resistant ceramic matrix composites or high-strength titanium alloys, they would all have to bow down before this kid’s skin.

Meanwhile.

Although Li Jiajun was being raided by the investigation team, his live stream, which was still running, hadn’t been turned off.

The phone camera was pointed right at this scene.

The tens of thousands of Netizens in the live stream saw this scene clearly and heard it perfectly.

The chat instantly exploded, full of hilarity.

”Hahahaha! I can’t take it! Is the Main Streamer trying to laugh me to death so he can inherit my Huabei debt?”

”What the hell, ’yell it again’! Main Streamer, you really know how to create entertainment!”

”Minister Liu: Are you being polite? I came here to investigate you so seriously, and you’re here grinning at me?”

”This isn’t an investigation site, this is clearly a crosstalk show! Uncle Liu is the straight man, and the Main Streamer is the comedian!”

”I just want to know, how big is Director Liu’s psychological shadow area?”

”Big Shot Liu: Don’t ask, if you ask, it means I want to take medicine.”

”This is too funny, the Main Streamer’s skin is basically bulletproof!”

...

Liu Jianguo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger.

His gaze inadvertently swept over the phone on Li Jiajun’s desk, and seeing the chat scrolling wildly on the screen, his eyelid twitched violently.

”Nonsense!”

Liu Jianguo kept a straight face, pointed at the phone, and scolded in a low voice: ”What time do you think it is? You’re still live streaming?”

”Don’t you see we are discussing serious matters? Is this your attitude toward an investigation?”

”Turn it off immediately!”

This shout carried the authority of a superior, and it did indeed startle Li Jiajun.

”Oh, oh, okay Uncle Liu, I’ll turn it off, I’ll turn it off right now.”

Li Jiajun shrank his neck, looking like a well-behaved baby, and reached out to grab the phone.

Although he agreed quickly, his movements were slow, and his eyes still revealed a sense of defiance.

As he reached out sluggishly, he couldn’t help but wave his hand, explaining to Liu Jianguo and the Netizens in the live stream with an indifferent expression: ”Actually, Uncle Liu, whether this live stream is off or not doesn’t really matter.”

”After all.”

Li Jiajun blinked, showing that signature smile on his face, so sincere that it made one’s hands itch to punch him:

”This sky rocket of mine is just a regular toy, there are no secrets, really.”

”I swear to heaven, I just designed this for the kids to hear a bang during the New Year.”

Speaking of this, as if to prove his innocence, Li Jiajun’s brain turned rapidly: ”Uncle Liu, look, we have to be reasonable.”

”That Curry Stick, that guy named Rajesh, didn’t they copy my toy one-to-one, and even scale it up?”

”They took my toy to make a rocket, and what happened?”

Li Jiajun clapped his hands, making a crisp ”pop” sound: ”It exploded!”

”It exploded shortly after taking off, turning into a big firework!”

”What does this prove?”

Li Jiajun spread his hands, wearing an expression that there was only one truth, and said loudly: ”Doesn’t this just prove that my technology isn’t good enough?”

”Doesn’t this just prove that it’s at a toy level!”

”If it were really as awesome as you all say, some kind of military technology, could it explode? It would definitely have zoomed off to Mars!”

”So, this sky rocket is just a regular toy.”

”Therefore, you all shouldn’t have filters on me and engage in personality cults.”

...

Li Jiajun’s words were resonant and logically ”sound.”

When the Netizens in the live stream heard this, they actually thought it made a lot of sense.

”Holy crap? The Main Streamer’s logic... although it sounds a bit weird, it seems flawless, right?”

”Yeah! If it were really black technology, it should have launched successfully! Doesn’t it exploding just mean the technology isn’t good enough?”

”Indeed, a toy is a toy; even if scaled up, it’s still a toy and can’t withstand that kind of intensity.”

”Is the Main Streamer proving his innocence in reverse? Awesome!”

”I was almost convinced by him.”

”What the hell, personality cult.”

Listening to Li Jiajun’s warped logic and looking at his ”I’m innocent, I’m weak” expression.

Liu Jianguo’s mouth twitched violently again.

Why did his mouth twitch?

Because this kid hadn’t shouted the slogan ”This is just a toy” before, but now, after beating around the bush, he had actually circled back to it!

He circled back to say that his thing was just a regular toy.

This maneuver was simply outrageous.

Liu Jianguo felt speechless.

He looked at Li Jiajun and thought: ’Why is this kid’s mouth so hard? Is it possible that after he dies, his whole body will be soft, but this mouth will still be hard?’

Just when Liu Jianguo wanted to refute and properly educate this kid who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

The Old Expert who had been standing behind Liu Jianguo, silent the whole time, Old Qian, finally couldn’t help but speak up.

He took a step forward, his figure, though slightly hunched, still upright, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

Old Qian slowly raised his hand and pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The eyes behind the lenses flashed with an extremely complex light.

He looked at Li Jiajun up and down with the gaze one would use for a monster, as if wanting to look through this kid’s skin to see what shocking things were stored in his brain.

The office went quiet.

Li Jiajun was also a bit unnerved by being looked at by this old man, and subconsciously shut his mouth.

”Are you sure? Young man.”

Old Qian spoke, his voice not loud, unhurried, but revealing an unquestionable sense of authority.

He looked at Li Jiajun and said calmly: ”I don’t know if you are intentionally or unintentionally confusing concepts.”

”However, I want to tell you a fact.”

Old Qian paused, took out a neatly folded data report from his briefcase, and unfolded it in front of Li Jiajun: ”According to our telemetry data analysis.”

”The rocket from Curry Country, which was scaled up from your toy, although it eventually disintegrated.”

”But!”

Old Qian emphasized his tone, every word landing like a heavy hammer on Li Jiajun’s heart: ”Before it disintegrated, it had already successfully broken through low Earth orbit!”

”Furthermore, its first and second-stage engines worked perfectly, and the thrust-to-weight ratio reached an astonishing value!”

”From a technical performance standpoint alone, it had a higher cost-effectiveness ratio in certain stages than some of our active models!”

”It can even be said that if not for the third-stage engine experiencing some... hmm, vibrations that looked like they were caused by the intentional omission of certain key control components, this rocket would have been fully capable of delivering its payload into the designated orbit!”

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was shocked.

The office became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The chat that had been scrolling just now also had a brief pause.

Everyone was shocked by Old Qian’s words.

What does it mean to have a higher cost-effectiveness ratio than active models?

What does it mean to have key components intentionally missing?

Is this what a toy can achieve?

Li Jiajun was also dumbfounded.

’Holy crap?’

’This... did I reveal my own secrets again?’

Subconsciously, Li Jiajun turned his head and looked at Wang Dachui beside him.

No, why look at me?

Wang Dachui was also completely confused.

He was blinking his innocent big eyes, his chubby face filled with confusion and grievance.

He looked at his boss’s man-eating gaze, with an expression that said, ”Why are you looking at me? I didn’t say it this time.”

He even spread his hands, indicating he was truly innocent, and he hadn’t even let out a fart just now.

Seeing Wang Dachui’s expression, Li Jiajun finally realized.

You know, his reaction was reasonable; it was completely a muscle memory formed after being screwed over countless times.

In his subconscious, whenever such earth-shattering secrets were exposed, whenever such face-slapping truths surfaced, it must have come from Wang Dachui’s big mouth.

Either Wang Dachui accidentally said some big truth, or Wang Dachui caused some kind of trouble.

And after realizing it, Li Jiajun’s heart skipped a beat.

’Oh no!’

His heart skipped a beat, and his scalp went numb.

’This time it wasn’t that idiot teammate Big Hammer!’

’This time it’s... a real Expert who stepped in personally!’

Li Jiajun turned his head back sharply, looking at the plain-looking old man in front of him, whose words were earth-shattering as soon as he spoke.

Although at this moment, he still didn’t know the name of this Old Expert.

But he knew that this time he had encountered a truly tough opponent!

Those little tricks of withholding technology simply couldn’t be hidden in front of top-tier big shots like him!

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he scrambled toward the phone on the table in a panic.

”Um... family, the signal is bad today! I’m logging off first!”

”Let’s talk another day! Let’s talk another day!”

”Snap!”

Li Jiajun cut off the live stream signal with unprecedented speed.

The reason was simple.

’If I let this old man keep talking, who knows what other earth-shattering things he might blurt out!’

’If he reveals everything about that thing, wouldn’t my title of Militia General be completely confirmed?’

...

The screen instantly went black.

Leaving behind a group of Netizens who hadn’t yet recovered, sending countless question marks and exclamation points at the black screen.

And in the office...
