Novel Bin Chapter 1190 - Reward!
“How troublesome!” Ling Lan lamented “Can we find the specific equipment?”
Little Four shook his head again. “We can but once we do, our opponents may be alerted.”
“We can’t let them know what we are doing. We’ll only be safe if they think we are in the dark.” Ling Lan was frustrated. She had too many outstanding subordinates around her, causing many people to pay attention to her. If she really alerted her opponents, they might be able to wipe her team out all at once. What a frightening thought.
‘We can’t do that!’
“Well, we actually can make the extracting device here. Chang Xinyuan is skilled with his hands so he might be able to create it if we give him the blueprints and the materials. Leave the materials to me. Once we make the extraction device, we should be able to take the replication device... more specifically, the replication chip out.” Little Four was eager to start foiling the plans of his enemies.
Although Lingtian was portrayed with the image of being a clan without many logisticians, there were now many abled logisticians in the team contrary to the image they had shown to the public. They had people with special talents too. For instance, their head of the logistics department, Chang Xinyuan, was able to modify mechas. Their head of the medical department, Li Shiyu, could make powerful agents. There were many people who would want to snatch them.
It had to be said that when Ling Lan formed her Lingtian battle team in the past, she had considered all aspects thoroughly. She had high expectations of her team members so only geniuses were chosen. This was the reason why there were many capable people in her team. Everyone wanted to snatch her members so she had to put in much effort to maintain her team.
Of course, most of the time, her father was the one settling everything. He almost ruined his gentle and kind image because of Lingtian.
“Let’s do it.” Ling Lan was decisive.
She didn’t like anything that could threaten her friends. Since she already knew that her opponent had this frightening device, she must find a way to counter it.
After Ling Lan retracted her gaze, Li Lanfeng asked, “Have you found the answer?”
Li Shiyu looked up too. He wanted to know what Ling Lan had discovered.
“There is a chip in his brain. It’s giving off a faint fluctuation.” Ling Lan couldn’t directly tell them the truth.
“In the brain?” Li Shiyu’s expression changed. He had already used his apparatuses to scan Tao Xiaotao’s brain but nothing could be found.
“I used my hacking ability to find the faint fluctuation. I’m afraid that with our current equipment, we might not be able to detect it.” Ling Lan sighed.
Li Shiyu frowned. There was clearly a problem but he couldn’t find it. I made him feel irritated.
“On the bright side, when I infiltrated the base on Planet Azure, I found the blueprint and information of a new tracking device. We can try to ask Chang Xinyuan to make it. If he can make it, we might be able to locate the fluctuation.” Li Shiyu’s eyes lit up over Ling Lan’s words. As a military doctor, he loved to have as many tracking devices as he could so that he could find what he needed. That way, he would be able to unleash his full surgery potential and complete all the surgeries that were deemed impossible by the Federation. It gave him great satisfaction when he saw those shocked faces of renowned military doctors.
“What are we waiting for? Hurry up and look for Chang Xinyuan,” Li Shiyu was excited.
Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng smiled when they saw Li Shiyu’s eager expression. Before the device could be made, Tao Xiaotao had to suffer and be locked up in the recovery pod.
The safest way to lock up a hacker was to make him unconscious so that he couldn’t use his mind.
After ten days had passed, the military sent many representatives to visit Ling Lan but the team leaders would chase them away from their doorstep, saying that Ling Lan was undergoing treatment and was unconscious.
Some representatives suggested sending military doctors from the headquarters over but Li Shiyu retorted, “Is there anyone better than me?” No one could answer him.
Li Shiyu wasn’t an arrogant person so he said humbly, “I sure hope some god-class military doctors will come. They can be my helpers.”
The representatives from the military pretended they didn’t hear the suggestion. God-class military doctors were the treasures of the military. To ensure their safety, most of them stayed within the military headquarters. No one would be willing to send them to the frontline.
They also wanted to look for the new commanding officer of the base as well as the regiment commanders of the three first-rank five-star mecha clans but all of them said that they were busy.
Some representatives suspected that they were controlled by the people from Lingtian, but they were all contactable. They were even able to have a video call with them. Based on their facial expressions and voices of the people who chatted with them, they were not forced or coerced into doing anything. The background of the video call was their office too (Little Four laughed arrogantly. Hackers might not be able to do this but he just needed a thought to do it).
Hence, the representative from the military couldn’t find any loopholes to tackle Lingtian. Finally, the rewards came.
“The rewards for the Lingtian Mecha Clan is as follows: Firstly, Major General Ling Lan is promoted to a lieutenant general.”
Although Ling Lan was very young, her mecha clan destroyed three other mecha clans of their enemies, and one of them was even a top-ranked mecha clan.
Everyone agreed with this reward. Even if they felt any negative feelings, it was probably because Ling Lan was too young to obtain such rank. When they were 24 years old, they were still young recruits who were clueless about the world. Yet, Ling Lan was already a lieutenant general with many merits. The comparison was stark. It was unacceptable for some people.
However, they put aside their jealousy and continued reading the message.
“Secondly, Major General Yang Mingzhi and Major General Liu Furong will be awarded the Golden Eagle Warrior Medal. They will also be appointed as the vice regiment commander of the Lingtian Mecha Clan.”
Wow! The Golden Eagle Warrior Medal! They weren’t promoted in rank but the medal had a similar buff too as all major generals had to salute to the major generals who had the Golden Eagle Warrior medal. This meant that Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were the highest-ranked major generals.
The second part of the order was interesting. Was this decentralization of authority?
Lingtian used to have only one regiment commander. The rest were all team leaders. Now, there were two vice regiment commanders and by right, all the decisions would also have to go through the vice regiment commanders.
