Chapter 52: Getting the Source Code Back Won't Be a Problem, Right? (Third Request, Subscriptions Appreciated)

Having that mysterious student prodigy plan ahead and help research a new mobile operating system?
That might actually be possible!
The netizens' hearts instantly grew immensely enthusiastic, and they rushed to the official account of the Grand Academy of Sciences to submit their suggestions.
Some fellows from Western countries couldn't help but sneer upon seeing this.
"Hehe, truly naive Xia people. Do you really think a complete and smooth mobile operating system is that easy to research and develop?"
"Exactly, your Xia has tried over the years, but what was the result? Absolutely nothing!"
"Even if that so-called mysterious classmate of yours is formidable, let me tell you, a mobile operating system is a completely different beast from lithography machines or missile manufacturing!"
"You have zero chance of succeeding!"
Some fellows from the overseas internet mocked with utmost sarcasm.
"Damn it, are you brainless Western trolls ever going to stop being annoying? Whether we can research it or not is none of your damn business!"
"That's right, just a moment ago you kept saying we couldn't possibly build a lithography machine, and now you're saying we can't develop a new mobile operating system. Can you please change your vocabulary? I'm getting tired of the repetition!"
"Forget it, forget it. I really can't be bothered to argue with you Westerners anymore. In short, we'll just say this: you are destined to be disappointed!"
Domestic netizens were already growing reluctant to engage in pointless flame wars with these brainless Westerners.
Through the previous round of verbal sparring over lithography machines, domestic netizens had realized that some of these people were simply paid internet trolls deliberately stirring up controversy. Arguing with them would only affect one's own peace of mind!
Therefore, many netizens continued to focus solely on the Grand Academy of Sciences, initiating suggestion polls!
They hoped the Academy could contact that mysterious student prodigy and ask if it was possible to develop a new mobile operating system!
If there really was a chance to develop a completely independent mobile operating system, it would truly and thoroughly shake off the chokehold of the Western nations!
The Grand Academy of Sciences did not disappoint the netizens either, responding very quickly.
"Thank you all for your suggestions. We will pass them along, and if there is any news, we will inform everyone at the first possible moment!"
The positive and swift official response from the Academy instantly made everyone completely excited.
Inside the Grand Academy of Sciences.
Zhao Zizhen was holding a video conference with Ye Guohong and a few others.
Suggestions from netizens were pouring in like snowflakes, making it difficult for them to simply ignore.
Looking at Ye Guohong, Zhao Zizhen asked directly, "Are you certain you want me to send an email and ask if he can help research a new system?"
"Yes, the netizens' suggestions are not without reason. Although we have resolved hardware issues such as chips, the mobile operating system is indeed a much bigger hassle. If we can possess our own independent system, everything we do will become much more convenient," Ye Guohong nodded.
This could be considered his first time actively taking the initiative to ask Lin Yang for help.
Although the chip issue had been resolved now, and they could even manufacture more advanced chips, those international technology giants that controlled mobile operating systems did not manufacture phones themselves.
It was difficult to use chips as a bargaining chip to exchange or negotiate with them for mobile operating systems.
This left Ye Guohong quite helpless.
Zhao Zizhen reminded him once again, "I have no problem sending the email to ask, but what those people said also makes sense. A mobile operating system truly belongs to a completely different field. This student might not necessarily dabble in it, so I think we still need to mentally prepare ourselves accordingly."
"That is only natural. It would be even better if he has conducted research in this area, but it doesn't matter if he hasn't. Once controllable nuclear fusion technology is applied in the future, it can still serve as a bargaining chip for negotiations," Ye Guohong nodded.
"Alright, then I'll send the email to ask," Zhao Zizhen said no more and directly sent an email to Lin Yang.
However, after waiting for a long time, no reply came from Lin Yang.
This made Zhao Zizhen, Ye Guohong, and the others instantly nervous.
"Could this fellow have run into some trouble?"
Exchanging glances, they saw the deep worry reflected in each other's eyes.
During the previous few emails, Lin Yang had almost always responded at the very first moment.
Yet today, there was a prolonged silence, forcing them to let their imaginations run wild.
"He should still be in Sakura. You need to contact our colleagues over there immediately and have them check if any of our people are being harassed locally!"
Zhao Zizhen grew somewhat anxious.
Although none of them currently knew Lin Yang's true identity, Lin Yang was undoubtedly a citizen of Xia. If he had indeed encountered any harassment, locking down all distressed Xia compatriots might just allow them to inadvertently identify Lin Yang!
"Don't panic just yet. Keep your composure and wait a little longer. Perhaps this fellow stayed up too late last night and hasn't woken up yet!"
A gleam flashed in Ye Guohong's eyes as he offered words of comfort. Even though he said that, he immediately issued instructions.
Although the probability of finding Lin Yang's identity through this method was extremely low, and it might not necessarily help Lin Yang in this manner, they could no longer afford to hesitate. Every single compatriot from Xia suffering local harassment was a high-priority individual requiring protection!
Little did Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guohong know, the reason Lin Yang didn't reply to their email immediately wasn't because he had encountered trouble, but simply because he had taken the physical enhancement genetic potion and fallen into a normal, deep slumber.
Consequently, when the sleeping period ended and Lin Yang woke up on time, seeing how Ye Guohong and the others had been frantically trying to protect every Xia compatriot who ran into trouble out of concern for his safety, he found it both amusing and deeply touching.
"This genetic potion is truly magical; I slept for a full forty-eight hours without waking up even once in between!"
Lin Yang sighed with emotion, clearly sensing that his current mental state was vastly superior and much more vigorous than before.
His physical fitness had indeed multiplied severalfold.
Afterwards, he ordered a hotel meal, and while eating, he replied to Zhao Zizhen's email.
"A mobile operating system?"
Lin Yang reviewed the previous live broadcast replays and browsed the trending search news from the past couple of days, quickly grasping what had happened.
"You want to keep using the mobile operating system to hold a chokehold over us? Heh, what a pretty dream!"
Lin Yang scoffed coldly and gave an affirmative reply directly in his email to Zhao Zizhen!
Forget about a mobile operating system; even a powerful intelligent AI system could be redeemed from the system mall.
Afterwards, he instructed the system to open the National Treasure Value Mall, preparing for the exchange.
Because of the cultural relics he had previously collected across the entire Sakura region, coupled with additional rewards and the manufacturing of the Student-class missile, the massive amount of National Treasure Value he had acquired remained completely untouched.
Redeeming a mere mobile operating system was an absolute breeze.
However, right as he was about to make the exchange, he suddenly recalled the system previously mentioning that one could first acquire low-tier technology to earn a wave of National Treasure Value, and then use higher-tier technology of the same series to earn even more.
"Wait, let's not exchange just yet. I can first go and grab the source code programs for the mobile operating systems of those foreign companies, make a slight upgrade, let the Academy of Sciences build a version based on that first, and then redeem the superior and more perfect mobile operating system from the mall. That would be much more cost-effective!"
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yang's eyes at the thought.
Those technology giants' greatest reliance was their mobile operating system.
After he acquired it and harvested the National Treasure Value, he could directly make the source code public to the entire world!
At that time, those mobile operating systems would become completely worthless!
"You want to keep using mobile operating systems to choke us, do you?"
"Then let's see if you can bear the consequences!"
A cold glint flashed in Lin Yang's eyes as he sprang into action!
Inside the Grand Academy of Sciences.
Upon receiving Lin Yang's reply, Zhao Zizhen and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Yang was safe, everything was fine!
Then, seeing Lin Yang's affirmative response, they immediately filled with anticipation!
"I wonder how long it will take this fellow to research the new system this time!"
Last time, when Lin Yang agreed to help them research missiles, he had finished the job not long after.
This time, Zhao Zizhen and the others were all curious about how long Lin Yang would take to cook up a new system!
However, just as this thought crossed their minds, an overseas phone call rang directly through!
"Is this the Grand Academy of Sciences? I've gone ahead and snatched the mobile OS source codes of those foreign companies directly. This... shouldn't cause any trouble, right?"
Buzz!
In an instant, Zhao Zizhen and the others felt a tingling sensation running from the tops of their heads down to the soles of their feet!
