Urban God-level Youth

On the way, Xu Liangguo broke the silence, "I heard you’ve gotten close to that girl from the Chang Family?"

Qin Hao gave a dry laugh, "No, the Chang Family wanted to plot against my Xinghai Company, so I just wanted to disgrace them a bit."

Xu Liangguo chuckled, "The girl from the Chang Family isn’t bad—smart and wise, very capable, a good hand at managing a company. Didn’t that old coot say he wanted you to marry his granddaughter?"

Qin Hao’s expression turned a bit awkward, "Mr. Xu, how do you know about that?"

Xu Liangguo scoffed, "How could I not understand that old man’s thoughts? He dreams quite prettily, thinking he can snatch the son-in-law of the Xu Family. I could tolerate his granddaughter being a mistress, but to usurp the position? Not a chance."

Less than half an hour later, Qin Hao and Xu Liangguo arrived at Xu Jiekang’s house, where Xu Jiekang, Yang Su, and Xu Siyao were all at home.

"Dad, you’re back," said Yang Su with a smile.

"Don’t stand up, just sit down comfortably, don’t disturb the baby," Xu Liangguo hurriedly said.

Xu Siyao walked over to Qin Hao’s side and wrapped her arms around his, and several people sat down on the sofa.

Xu Liangguo said to Qin Hao, "Xiao Hao, I called you over because I have some good news to tell you. Si Yao, go get the stuff."

Xu Siyao got up and ran into the room, and soon she came out holding a military uniform in both hands.

Qin Hao was taken aback when he saw it, as Xu Liangguo grinned and said, "I made a request to the higher-ups, and you’ve been formally granted the rank of Major, attached to the Gu Jing Military Region, as the overall person in charge of the Shadow Special Team."

To be honest, Qin Hao felt a tiny surge of excitement; he could say that he had risen from a commoner to being graced with nobility and military rank.

Even though his status in the business world was high, in plain terms, he was still a civilian, but now it was different; suddenly, he had become a Major.

Xu Jiekang was somewhat astonished inside, but nevertheless quite pleased. Such a high position had to be approved from above; it was not something Xu Liangguo could have managed alone.

Xu Liangguo smiled at Qin Hao and said, "Try it on."

Yang Su and Xu Siyao also said, "Try it on."

He went to Xu Siyao’s room and then changed into the Major’s uniform, instinctively standing straighter. If his parents knew, they would probably be very happy.

"So handsome, so dashing." Xu Siyao had stars in her eyes as she watched him come down dressed in the uniform.

Curious, Qin Hao asked, "Mr. Xu, what kind of unit is the Shadow Special Team?"

Xu Liangguo, with a smile, explained, "The Shadow Special Team is the most formidable special forces unit of the Gu Jing Military Region. From now on, you’ll be their direct superior, but it won’t be much trouble and won’t interfere with managing your company. Just go to the military region at the start of each month to sign in, that’s all."

Originally, the higher-ups had not intended to assign him a position, but after some thought, Xu Liangguo decided to secure him a spot in the Gu Jing Military Region, and the higher-ups agreed.

Qin Hao nodded, "Okay, got it. Also, Mr. Xu, I have something for you."

"What is it?" asked Xu Liangguo curiously.

Qin Hao took out a USB drive and placed it on the coffee table, "I took the liberty of researching flame and missile fuels in my spare time. This USB drive contains my research on a new type of solid rocket fuel, which I estimate has more than ten times the performance of current missile speeds."

Xu Liangguo’s eyes widened in amazement, "Ten times? For real? Intercontinental missiles now travel four to five thousand kilometers per hour, and your solid fuel can increase that by ten times?"

Qin Hao nodded seriously, "This is my most conservative estimate, Mr. Xu. It might even be faster."

Xu Liangguo looked at the silver-white USB drive on the coffee table and felt a bit excited. This had huge implications; it could even change the current world military powers’ arrangement.

The world’s hegemon, the Federation? If what Qin Hao had said about this solid fuel were true, then the hegemon status of the Federation would be shaken.

Just imagine, if Xuan Country’s short-range, medium-range, long-range, and intercontinental missiles were all equipped with this solid fuel, how terrifying would that be?

In terms of attack, the speed would be extremely fast and frightening; the enemy wouldn’t have a chance to react before being destroyed.

Some countries’ missile interception systems would become essentially useless. In terms of defense, Xuan Country would respond more swiftly and have a higher interception rate.

Xu Liangguo, visibly excited, pocketed the USB drive, "That’s great, Xiao Hao. What exactly is in that brain of yours? You seem to be able to come up with anything."

Qin Hao let out a dry chuckle, "Maybe my brain just thinks more than the average person,"

"All right, I must get going. Jie Kang, take good care of Xiao Hao." Having said that, he got up to leave, even though he didn’t understand what was written inside the USB drive, nor had he verified its authenticity.

But with Qin Hao putting it that way, he already believed it eighty percent. Considering Qin Hao wasn’t the kind of person to joke around and usually wouldn’t engage in things he wasn’t sure of.

Originally he had planned to have lunch here before leaving, but now he couldn’t sit still anymore. With this item in his hand, how could he possibly remain calm?

Which Xuan Country citizen doesn’t want to restore their nation’s great pride and have the world bow down?

All the grievances suffered over the years, all of it was for the future of the Xuan Country, for one day standing at the top of the world and achieving the great rejuvenation of the nation.

The reason for Xu Liangguo’s excitement was because he saw hope; he saw Xuan Country’s hope of standing at the top of the world.

If he could see Xuan Country rise to the top of the world once more before dying, he would die content.

...

Watching Xu Liangguo’s motorcade disappear, Qin Hao smiled softly; he could feel Xu Liangguo’s deep excitement. Suddenly, Qin Hao’s expression changed, "Hey, Mr. Xu, there’s still something I haven’t discussed with you."

"What is it, Xiao Hao? What’s the matter?" Xu Jiekang asked curiously.

Qin Hao spoke with a smile, "It’s nothing, Mr. Xu. I’ll call Mr. Xu again in the evening."

Now, he was at least a major and had made such a significant contribution. He was planning to discuss the deployment of the advanced navigational radar intelligence system. He felt that there shouldn’t be a problem.

Because it could be applied not only to automotive driving but also to trains and airplanes for navigation. Plus, with the addition of intelligent autopilot features, it would be perfect.

The most important point was: it was still a radar navigation system, which could also be applied to the military field, providing global coverage. If any other country launched a military ship, they could monitor it.

It was like possessing both Clairvoyance and Sharp-Hearing Ear, foreseeing the enemy’s movements and gaining the upper hand. Its significance was no less than that of the solid fuel.

Back in the villa, Qin Hao took off his military uniform and changed into his own clothes. He folded the uniform neatly and put it away, "Is this the only set of clothes Si Yao has? Not even a spare to change into?"

Xu Siyao shot him a look, "You can have as many as you want. The uniforms custom-made by the military region are all produced by Huafei Clothing Company. Just say the word, and you can have as many as you wish."
