Just as the two were talking, several district leaders came over with smiles on their faces.
Now that the danger to the Immortal Gate has been resolved, all of them can finally take the burden off their shoulders.
The best thing is that Lin Yi defeated the powerful enemy on his own and did not let them use large-scale nuclear weapons and numerous heavy weapons. From an indirect perspective, it also saved a lot of military expenditure.
In short, they are extremely grateful to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi came from a military background and was particularly respectful to these old leaders. Therefore, his conversation and manners were very considerate, which made these old leaders like Lin Yi even more.
"By the way, the country wants to develop the Immortal Gate Valley. Many of the exotic animals and herbs in it have great research and development value. The country has secretly formed a scientific research team, mobilizing China's top scientific research forces, and wants to focus on making a breakthrough in this project."
"If successful, the country's research in this area may reach another level." Leader Lao Qinglong said solemnly.
Although China is indeed relying on Lin Yi to shock the world now, it is not a long-term solution after all. There are still many areas where China lags behind in technology and other aspects.
This research project, if successful, could lead to a breakthrough in another area.
For example, some of these magical herbs can cure certain terminal illnesses or prolong life.
If these things were researched, they would definitely shock the world.
China's dragon scale armor is made by studying the dragon scales of a strange beast. This dragon scale armor is only as thick as a piece of paper, but it is extremely hard and strong enough to withstand sniper bullets, making China's special forces suddenly unique.
The United States has sent countless spies and used countless means in secret to obtain the dragon scale armor.
Unfortunately, they all failed.
Lin Yi strongly agrees with this idea, because he will be leaving soon. If China can develop powerful technology at this time, he will not be needed then. China will be able to make the United States fearful and suppress other countries.
"This is a good idea, but the situation inside the Immortal Gate, as you have seen, is extremely dangerous. So this time we shamelessly want to ask you for help again. With your help, our progress in developing the Immortal Gate will be more secure and the progress will be slightly faster."
The old Qinglong leader invited.
"This..." Lin Yi hesitated slightly.
"Of course we won't let you work for nothing. This is the decision made by the current Military Commission after unanimous discussion and unanimous approval. You will be promoted to Governor."
"Look, what do you think?"
Several old leaders stretched their necks waiting for Lin Yi's reply.
"Okay." After a little hesitation, Lin Yi agreed decisively. He naturally wanted to have a good relationship with China. After all, he was Chinese, and his wife and daughter were safest in China.
"That's great. From now on, you are the governor. Here are the shoulder straps and the file documents. Everything is done according to the procedures."
"From today on, you have all the rights, including mobilizing troops, riding military aircraft, etc."
Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded. He never thought that he, a former soldier, would actually become a governor one day.
The Jiaolong base is far away in the deep mountains and forests.
This morning the base leader told them that an important figure would be returning in the morning and asked them to gather in the square.
"It is said that he is a very big person."
"Who is it?"
"Yeah, how big can it be."
While everyone stood like javelins and whispered, there was only one man who remained silent and stern, as still as a mountain.
