The next day, as Ji Yuan rubbed his eyes and walked down from the bedroom in his pajamas, he was greeted by a room full of armed Special Police.
Ji Yuan: "..."
They seemed to have arrived even faster than he had imagined. The National Robot Competition's emergence of Patriot One had unsurprisingly caught the attention of high-ranking officials. Initially, the leaders thought it was just a gimmick, but as the situation gradually unfolded and investigations clarified the details, they realized it was not as simple as they had assumed. This time, it wasn't just a false claim!
Every year, there are so-called scientists in the community claiming to have invented something groundbreaking, only for investigations to reveal that those inventions were either already created by predecessors or were mere sensationalized nonsense. Over time, the authorities, having been misled too many times, stopped paying attention to such grassroots claims. After all, it was just a waste of effort to investigate things that yielded no real value.
Ji Yuan was clearly aware of this, which is why he boldly participated in the National Robot Competition held at the Pantech University in the capital and proudly led Patriot One to win the championship. Additionally, regarding the core power source of Patriot One, the Ark Reactor paper had already been sent to higher-ups through his mentor, Zhou Hexuan.
No matter how one speaks of their mentor, an Academician still holds some weight in the minds of the leaders. When a stack of materials is handed over, no matter what the leaders do, they will at least take a serious look at it.
"Can I finish my breakfast before going with you?" Ji Yuan blinked hard, still a bit dazed at the moment.
A group of Special Police responded: "..."
"Of course, you are a free person, not a criminal." A middle-aged Special Police officer in his thirties forced a smile. "Our duty is simply to ensure your safety and then take you to a place to meet with the relevant leaders. As for what happens next, we will see."
He swore that even when facing his bald supervisor, he had never been this 'obsequious,' to the point of being overly cautious. The higher-ups had instructed that this little prodigy might become a new generation 'National Treasure' level figure. He understood the weight of the term 'National Treasure'! It meant that the work this person was engaged in was highly classified and could potentially provide the country with a significant asset that would change the fate of the nation.
Protecting individuals with such important missions made him feel a sense of pride.
Ji Yuan said: "..."
Why did he feel that this Special Police officer was even more nervous than he was? The officer's tongue almost got tied while speaking!
After finishing breakfast, Ji Yuan hesitated and asked, "Am I going to a confidential place with you and then won't be able to come out?"
Although he had considered various scenarios in his mind, he still worried about the possibility of such an extreme situation occurring. He was planning to start a business and did not want to spend every day in a laboratory, living a dull life.
The middle-aged Special Police officer grinned and said, "Don't worry, you'll be back in no time. Also, our people spoke with your father last night; he doesn't oppose you working at the research institute."
Ji Yuan's lips twitched slightly. Even without seeing the scene, he could imagine the expression on his father's face, which would be more sorrowful than a cry. When it came to love for him, even his mother might not compare.
As Ji Fu grew older, he constantly urged his son to take over the family business early, fearing that the career he had worked so hard for his entire life would fall into someone else's hands. Suddenly learning that his son could not inherit the hundred billion fortune he had built would surely leave him gloomy; he might even be too distressed to eat!
Ji Yuan looked at the group standing like javelins and felt embarrassed to delay any longer. He nodded and said, "Alright then, let's set off."
