Zhao Youcai suddenly became an important talent for protecting state secrets, and was escorted to the military region for protection by fully armed soldiers.

Zhao Youcai looked completely bewildered; he truly never imagined he would have such a day.

Not only him, but even Zhao Jianfei was dumbfounded.

Zhao Jianfei's dream is to be a soldier, but his physical condition doesn't allow it; he gets out of breath after running just a few steps.

I never imagined that the military region of my dreams would come in so openly and legitimately!

"Comrade Zhao Youcai! Comrade Zhao Jianfei! Please come with us!"

Since Zhao Youcai is not a researcher, even if he is protected, he will not be placed in the same room as the researchers.

Just then, a small shop was suddenly unlocked in [Happy Town], which had been quiet all along.

Zhao Youcai briefly focused his attention on it, and was momentarily stunned.

These are... mortar blueprints?

Zhao Youcai didn't believe that the military-grade toys that suddenly appeared in his "Happy Town" were real toys; the blueprints were simply too detailed.

It's so detailed that if you make these parts even slightly larger, you can replicate a real mortar.

Every man dreams of being a hero from a young age.

Who wouldn't want to look cool carrying a portable mortar and taking down a Japanese soldier with a single shot?

Could it be that they've entered the military region and met the unlocking conditions?

Zhao Youcai glanced at the conditions for unlocking the military toy shop again, and a line of text appeared that made Zhao Youcai very excited.

[Ten top military weapons manufacturers detected, including the Beijing Military Region. Unlock conditions met: Open the military toy shop, unlock mortar blueprints, and unlock mortar toy model molds.]

Zhao Youcai's heart skipped a beat. What was this going to do?

This is about shifting from agriculture to animal husbandry to commerce, and now they're trying to get him involved in military industry?

Zhao Youcai knew one thing: someone had previously created a scaled-up aircraft carrier based on a toy production model.

The blueprints for this mortar are so detailed that they're not meant for children. Imagine how powerful it would be!

Will he be allowed to build an aircraft carrier strike group in the future, or will there be another "South Heaven Gate" project?

Zhao Youcai didn't dare to think any further, and didn't even want to show the mortar model in his hand in this turbulent era.

But somehow, the toy model appeared in his bag, bulging out quite a bit, making it hard to miss.

Therefore, the top leader of the military region, who had not shown up from beginning to end, made an exception and personally came to meet Comrade Zhao Youcai.

At this moment, the leader's lips trembled uncontrollably with excitement, and he held Zhao Youcai's hands tightly, unwilling to let go.

The toy was so exquisitely made that he was envious.

Zhao Youcai desperately wanted to say that he really didn't make it, that it just appeared out of thin air. But this thing had never existed before, and no one would believe him if he said it.

He could only come up with an excuse in a moment of inspiration: "I have an eldest grandson and granddaughter. The two children have never had any toys since they were little, and they both like soldiers. As their grandfather, I also like to spoil them."

Zhao Jianfei felt a chill run down his spine as he listened.

He could never forget the memory of his father taking off his shoes and whipping him as he ran around the yard. How could someone who beat his son so severely love his grandson to this extent?

However, the "evidence of his doting on his grandson" was right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

"I wonder if I can try playing with this?"

Someone reported that Zhao Youcai had brought in weapons he shouldn't have, and the search made them too excited.

This excitement even excited the top leader, who stared at the toy mortar with shining eyes.

The mortar blueprints shown at the secret research base that was dug up underground in the military region a few days ago didn't even look as exquisite as this thing.

Once I got my hands on it, I was incredibly excited.

This little toy I made for my grandson can pop balloons from 50 meters away!

It's hard to imagine what kind of power this would have if it were made of a different material!

The small room that had been hastily prepared for Zhao Youcai and his son due to orders from above was now completely useless.

Zhao Youcai received the highest level of treatment; he was taken directly to the family compound and moved into the home of this high-ranking leader.

"Brother, just treat this place like your own home. If you need anything, just tell my wife directly."

He then loudly called his youngest son back, letting him personally experience the feel of the mortar brought by Zhao Youcai.

Only then did Zhao Youcai realize that his youngest son was a rising star in the military industry. His excitement surpassed even that of his father!

And there he was, skipping over his father, nearly stepping on his foot, and lunging headlong towards Zhao Youcai.

"Uncle Zhao! Could you take me to study mortars? This thing is perfect for making into a weapon for the battlefield; it's such a waste that it's just a toy."

These days, having a small wooden toy gun is already quite nice; who has such a realistic toy?

The military region leader had a longer-term vision; he knew more than his own son, who was single-mindedly focused on research.

Zhao Youcai has connections with foreign trade and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If such toys were to flow into the whole country or even abroad, it would be a huge loss.

"Comrade Zhao, I wonder if I could speak with you alone?"

Since this concerns the nation, the military region leaders felt it was necessary to clarify everything.

However, some people were not able to listen, such as the youngest son who was only focused on expanding the military industry, and Zhao Youcai's seemingly simple-minded youngest son.

Zhao Youcai knew how important this matter was, so of course he wouldn't refuse.

Not only that, they would also set conditions to get the military region to cooperate with them.

After all, I haven't actually done this kind of research myself yet. There are some minor details that need to be refined and studied by professionals.

The two went straight up to the study on the second floor and sat on either side of the table.

"Comrade Zhao, I must tell you this matter very seriously."

The senior leader spoke first, his eyes fixed intently on Zhao Youcai's changing expression.

Upon confirming that Zhao Youcai was also very serious, the smile in his eyes grew even stronger.

"These mortars are exactly what all military regions need right now. If every company were equipped with such portable mortars, our combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced, and we could reduce the casualties of many soldiers."

At this moment, Zhao Youcai solemnly took out a mortar blueprint from [Happy Town] and placed it on the table.

He has tons of blueprints in his [Happy Town] now; he can have as many as he wants.

When he saw that unlocking the next category would cost 30,000 yuan, Zhao Youcai's lips twitched.

Forget it, a mortar will do. People can't suddenly act too powerful, or they'll be taken away for dissection and research.

Looking at the leader's expression again, it was exactly as he had imagined.
