Chapter 165 The Current Situation of Blue Star and the Special Metal Zheng Jin?

In response to Lin Mo's question, the leading doctor immediately replied:

"We are in the New Kyoto Underground City."

Lin Mo: "???"

New Kyoto?

He remembered that before the portal closed, he had been transported to an Arctic military base, so how did he end up here?

"What happened?" Lin Mo immediately realized something was wrong.

The doctor gestured for the person next to him to begin the physical examination of Lin Mo, and then began to explain.

"On the third day after the portal closed, we found that although your vital signs were stable, there was no sign of your consciousness returning."

"This has never happened before. You always change bodies by going back to sleep once a day."

"Furthermore... the portal has been closed, and we have completely lost contact with the expeditionary force."

Lin Mo understood; no news was the worst news.

Another doctor added:

"The top leader and some high-ranking officials are going crazy with anxiety."

"We all thought..."

The doctor didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

The lead doctor continued:

"For security reasons, the Chief Commander personally ordered your transfer to the new capital."

"This is to ensure your absolute safety."

"At the same time... it's also to prepare for the worst-case scenario."

Lin Mo was puzzled.

"What's the worst-case scenario?"

The doctor met his gaze and said:

"The Grand Chief said that Great Xia must guard against one possibility."

"If the expeditionary mission fails."

"If the demons, through some unknown means, have obtained the portal's coordinates and launched a reverse invasion of Earth..."

"Therefore, the Arctic base has entered a state of first-level combat readiness, and all weapon systems have been activated and aligned with the spatial coordinates where the teleportation portal disappeared."

"Once any unusual creature appears, indiscriminate firepower will be deployed."

Lin Mo suddenly understood after hearing this.

He fully understood the decision.

During the five days he was asleep, the Blue Star side had already prepared for the complete annihilation of the expeditionary force and was ready for a decisive battle on its home planet.

And he, the only living beacon, was sent to the safest place.

It was both for protection and to obtain information about the Terra continent as soon as he woke up.

Lin Mo wanted to get up and leave, but the medical team pressed him back onto the hospital bed.

"Commander Lin, please cooperate with us one last time for a comprehensive check."

"Yes, just a few minutes."

Lin Mo lay flat, letting the doctors and nurses do as they pleased.

Various cold instruments were applied to his body.

A young nurse, who was applying an electrocardiogram to his chest, accidentally brushed her fingers across his abdominal muscles, causing his cheeks to flush slightly.

The other nurse who was responsible for drawing blood seemed to press the puncture site with a cotton swab for a longer time after drawing the blood.

Lin Mo: "..."

Lin Mo's body is naturally very good; his muscle density, nerve reaction speed, and cell activity far exceed those of ordinary people.

So the nurse secretly applied oil to it.

Half an hour later, the attending physician, holding a report, adjusted his glasses, suppressing his excitement.

"Commander Lin, your physical stats... are practically perfect!"

"All indicators far exceed those of top-tier astronauts; in short, everything is normal!"

Lin Mo threw off the covers and got out of bed, stretching his limbs, his joints making a series of crisp cracking sounds.

"I already said I'm fine. I need to see the high-ranking official now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.

Secretary Li, the most capable person by the leader's side, walked in.

He first nodded to the medical team, then turned to Lin Mo.

"Commander Lin, you're awake! That's wonderful!"

Secretary Li's tone was calm and composed.

"The Chief is currently chairing an emergency meeting and cannot come to see you immediately. He specifically asked me to come first to apologize."

Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively.

"It's alright. The top leader is busy serving the country and its people, I understand."

Secretary Li smiled.

"That's good. The chief said he would end the meeting as soon as possible. If it's convenient, you can come with me to the chief's office first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo changed his clothes and followed Secretary Li out of the ward.

The two walked through a pure white metal corridor, with overhead lighting strips extending into the distance, and only the faint sound of equipment running in the air.

Along the way, they occasionally saw civilians in gray uniforms, who calmly nodded to Secretary Li and Lin Mo.

"This is the core area of ​​New Kyoto, and also the safest place," Secretary Li said, breaking the silence.

He spoke as he walked, not fast, but conveying a great deal of information.

"In the few days you were asleep, the situation on Earth changed rapidly."

"Several countries, led by the United States, have formally requested that we share our controlled nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconducting materials technologies free of charge."

Lin Mo paused, his fists clenching unconsciously.

"A robber can't change his ways."

"Yes." Secretary Li's expression remained unchanged.

"We refused on the spot."

"Therefore, they are preparing to hold a multinational joint live-fire military exercise outside the Arctic Circle to put pressure on us."

Lin Mo frowned.

"What are they trying to do? Are they really going to fight?"

"There won't be a fight." Secretary Li's tone exuded a strong sense of confidence.

"In the past, we were out-equipped, but we relied on our iron will to get to where we are today."

"Nowadays, our equipment has surpassed theirs."

Secretary Li's lips curled up.

"Hopefully, they will have an iron will by then."

Lin Mo laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"As for the worst-case scenario..."

Secretary Li paused slightly in her speech.

"All of the underground cities in the Great Xia Dynasty were built according to the highest level of nuclear protection standards from the very beginning of their design."

"We have been prepared for the worst since the beginning of the apocalypse, so there is no need to worry."

Lin Mo: "That's good. They're barefoot, so we shouldn't let them drag us down with them."

Secretary Li smiled and continued:

"In addition, the life-giving spring water you sent back has been used entirely on those national treasure-level scientists and several elders whose bodies are nearing their limits."

He specifically added:

"The chief assured you that not a single drop was used on the wrong people."

"When there is more life-giving water and holy water in the future, it will be gradually applied to the whole population. There will be no special privileges; everyone will have a share."

Lin Mo felt a warmth in his heart after hearing this, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod silently.

As they walked, Lin Mo realized that his sanatorium was actually very close to the chief's office, only a few minutes' walk away.

Secretary Li led him into a small meeting room.

"Commander Lin, please wait here for a moment. The meeting will be over soon."

Secretary Li poured him a glass of water, but instead of leaving, she continued:

"What you got back last time was of great significance."

"Besides the energy and multifaceted revolution brought about by mithril, a room-temperature superconductor, materials science has also achieved astonishing breakthroughs!"

Secretary Li picked up a palm-sized piece of metal that shimmered with a dark silver luster from the side and handed it to Lin Mo.

The metal sheet is extremely light to the touch and has a warm, smooth feel, unlike any other metal.

"What is this?"

Secretary Li said with a serious expression:

Its name is—"Zheng Jin"!
