Incredible Insight: Toy Factory Discovers Swarm Drones

Chapter 184 is terrifying upon closer inspection, and terrifying even upon cursory consideration!In the Imperial Capital, in the office of a certain military industrial unit.

Liu Jianguo, who was fretting over a pile of technical problems regarding the ”Quadruped Intelligent Combat Platform” on his desk, suddenly felt an intense itch in his nose.

”Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!”

He sneezed three earth-shattering times in a row, shaking his thermos so hard that it nearly spilled.

Liu Jianguo rubbed his reddened nose, furrowed his brows, and grumbled, ”Who the hell is bad-mouthing me behind my back again?”

He instinctively picked up his phone and glanced at the chat window with Li Jiajun.

There were no new messages.

Because he had long ago set that kid to ”Mute Notifications.”

”Hmph, it’s been quite quiet these past few days.”

Liu Jianguo muttered to himself, completely unaware that in Li Jiajun’s livestream, he had already been dubbed a ”Guiding Beacon” and ”Life’s Faith” by Li Jiajun in front of millions of people.

What he didn’t know even more was that the core technical parameters that led to Li Jiajun’s epiphany were the very ones he had accidentally sent a few days ago due to a slip of the finger.

At this moment, he was still racking his brain over how to find an absolutely safe civilian project for Li Jiajun.

’Wait a bit longer. Once I finish the breakthrough task on this quadruped robot, I’ll think of a way for that kid.’

’Anyway, there’s been no movement these past few days, which means he hasn’t stirred up any trouble.’

’As long as he doesn’t mess around blindly, my heart will last a few more years.’

Liu Jianguo consoled himself, picked up his teacup for a sip, and felt that although life was busy, at least things were peaceful for now.

...

Meanwhile.

Baishui City, Municipal Police Command Center.

In the report dispatch hall.

Young dispatcher Xiao Zhang, who had pulled an all-nighter, yawned. He had just finished handling a dispute involving a drunkard and was preparing to catch some shut-eye during the lull.

”Ring-ring——”

The emergency phone in front of him rang urgently again.

Xiao Zhang glanced at the caller ID, and his brows instantly furrowed into a ” river” shape.

It was an excessively long number that looked like gibberish, with a prefix indicating an overseas call.

’In this day and age, scammers are calling the police command center? Are overseas scammers this arrogant?’

He complained internally, but out of professional duty, he picked up the receiver and said in standard Mandarin, ”Hello, Baishui City Police Department. How can I help you?”

From the other end of the line came a burst of noisy static, as if the caller were in a mountainous area with terrible signal.

Immediately after, came the voice of a man speaking broken Chinese, sounding extremely furious.

The voice was rough and hoarse, exuding the ferocity of someone living on the edge of a knife, but at this moment, that ferocity was mixed with deep grievance and urgency.

”Hey! Is this the police? I want to report a crime!”

”I’ve been scammed! Scammed by someone from your Baishui City!”

Xiao Zhang was stunned, thinking, *Is this actually a cross-border fraud case? This needs to be transferred to the Anti-Fraud Center.*

He sat up straight and picked up a pen to record, ”Sir, please don’t be anxious, take your time. How much money were you scammed out of? What method did the other party use to scam you? Was it order brushing or a pig-butchering scam?”

”Fifty million! Fifty million ugly yuan!”

The man on the other end roared, his voice making Xiao Zhang’s eardrums buzz.

”How much?!” The pen in Xiao Zhang’s hand dropped onto the table with a ”clatter.”

Fifty million ugly yuan? That’s hundreds of millions of RMB! What kind of earth-shattering case is this?

Even for a pig-butchering scam, I’ve never heard of butchering such a huge pig!

”Sir, may I ask what kind of business you are in? What was this money for?” Xiao Zhang’s voice became serious, even carrying a hint of tremor.

The other end of the line was silent for a second, then roared righteously:

”I am in the armed business! Or what you call militants!”

”This money was for buying weapons!”

”That scammer! He said he was the biggest private Arms Dealer in the Eastern Country! I wired the money to him, but so many days have passed, and he hasn’t even sent me a single hair!”

”This is fraud! Naked fraud!”

”Are you police going to handle this or not? If not, I’ll send people to blow up his factory!”
