95: What? My car paint is radar-proof?

"You must have made a mistake. I absolutely did not cheat," Okamoto Rikawa said with a calm expression.

The Bureau of Secrecy officer said sternly, "Don't get excited. If you have been wronged, we will give you justice. Take him away."

"What is going on? Taken away by the Bureau of Secrecy just for cheating?"

"Isn't that normal? Julong Steel is a classified unit. Have you forgotten about the sanctions by the Eagle Sauce Defense Department a few years ago?"

"That was close. Good thing I didn't take out my cheat sheet."

During the conversation at Julong Steel.

The Bureau of Secrecy officer carefully screened the four candidates in front of him: "Why did you get the last five questions wrong?"

"Is this an insult to my intelligence? Any person from Dragon Xia could answer the last five questions correctly," the unassuming young man said casually.

Lu Shenwei said in a low voice, "With that attitude, it will be very hard to get into Julong Steel."

"It's just a few questions I didn't answer," the young man said, unconcerned.

Lu Shenwei said in a low voice, "This kid has quite a personality."

Ma Quanlin, however, said with a straight face, "He knows the answers but refuses to answer properly. He's a troublemaker."

Another person was screened afterward, and no issues were found.

When it was Okamoto Rikawa's turn, Lu Shenwei asked, "Are you also doing this on purpose?"

"The last five questions were all logic problems. It's understandable that I got them wrong," Okamoto Rikawa said calmly.

"Logic problems?"

"Aren't they?"

"If you say so, then so be it."

The probability of them being a spy is 100%. As for the last one, there's no need to even look.

"Don't bother looking at the last one. Confirmed spy," Lu Shenwei said casually.

The Eagle Sauce agent panicked upon hearing this: "What right do you have to call me a spy? Isn't it just that I didn't get the last few questions right?"

"Uh, that's not the problem."

"Then what is it?"

"Uh, don't you think there's a problem with your skin color?"

"Bronze skin is the healthiest color."

Pfft—

Lu Shenwei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Dragon Xia has never had black people since ancient times, yet your resume says you are a native of Qinchuan."

Hahaha!

Ma Quanlin and the others couldn't help but laugh too: "From now on, add another item to the hiring screening: don't hire anyone with the wrong skin color."

The Bureau of Secrecy officer took Okamoto Rikawa and the Eagle Sauce agent away, and Lu Shenwei turned to report the situation to Gu Ming.

"You actually caught them?" Gu Ming asked in surprise.

Lu Shenwei chuckled as he explained his method, and Gu Ming praised him: "That's a good idea, testing general knowledge of Dragon Xia movies and TV shows."

Lu Shenwei asked with concern, "Leader, has our aircraft carrier achieved combat capability?"

"The sea trials just finished not long ago. It will take at least another six months or more to achieve combat capability," Gu Ming said casually.

If anyone else asked these things, Gu Ming would absolutely keep his mouth shut.

"What? Do you have ideas about the aircraft carrier?" Gu Ming asked.

Lu Shenwei waved his hand and said, "Aircraft carriers are a collection of high-tech marvels. Even if I wanted to help, I'd need the capability."

"You kid, you're not telling the truth. By the way, the Western Theater Command didn't approach you a while ago, did they?" Gu Ming asked.

"They did. I helped make a batch of equipment."

"Those guys at the Western Theater Command are incredibly stubborn; they insist on developing new equipment themselves."

"They were quite satisfied and even said they wanted to hang a 'Collaborating Unit' plaque for us."

"That's good. Aside from being stubborn, those guys are actually pretty decent."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and ended the call. The spy-catching interlude came to a temporary pause, but the matter of the longmao agricultural vehicle blocking radar speed guns had only just begun.

To avoid a large-scale recall, Wang Zizhong took Zhou Cun to test the three vehicle models separately and finally determined that the problem lay in the car paint.

"Strange, our car paint can actually block radar speed guns," Wang Zizhong said, puzzled.

Zhou Cun said, "The car paint formulation was created by the Chairman himself. This shouldn't be happening."

"We must adjust the paint formula and find the element that blocks and absorbs radar waves," Wang Zizhong mused.

After learning about the situation, Lu Shenwei immediately opened the system store.

After seeing the explanation for the anti-rust radar-absorbing coating in the system store, he was completely stunned.

Anti-rust radar-absorbing coating: possesses extremely strong anti-rust and anti-corrosion functions, while simultaneously capable of absorbing multiple bands of radar waves to achieve the effect of blocking radar detection. Exchange price: 200 million.

It really was the anti-rust paint. If an anti-rust paint can absorb radar waves, it would be strange if it weren't expensive.

"Since it's confirmed that the anti-rust paint is the problem, let's do a large-scale recall," Lu Shenwei said sternly.

A farm vehicle daring to block the Patrol Police's radar speed gun—what kind of behavior is this?

Like an old man eating arsenic—tired of living.

Wang Zizhong said, troubled: "Chairman, how about this? Instead of a full recall and repainting, we can just scrape off the paint on the front bumper and repaint it. That would reduce the workload."

"The cost of this modification is lower. I think it's appropriate," Zhou Cun agreed.

Lu Shenwei pondered, "Uncle Ma, what do you think?"

"The idea of a large-scale recall is fine, but repainting the entire vehicle is too costly."

Ma Quanlin's statement effectively endorsed Wang Zizhong's approach. Lu Shenwei nodded: "Then let's do as you suggested."

"Chairman, what is our reason for the recall?"

"The reason? Vehicle system upgrade."

Lu Shenwei thought about it. If they openly recalled the vehicles on the grounds that the paint blocked radar speed guns, plenty of car owners would definitely be unwilling to return their vehicles. Therefore, using a vehicle system upgrade as the reason for the recall would make it easier for car owners to accept.

The next day, Julong Steel announced a three-day suspension of sales for the longmao agricultural vehicle to perform a vehicle system upgrade.

At the same time, all sold vehicles were recalled for the vehicle system upgrade.

Wang Zizhong and the others were deeply worried, fearing that the large-scale recall would affect sales.

But the expected situation did not happen; instead, many car reviewers praised Julong Steel for daring to conduct a large-scale recall.

[Julong Steel recalls new cars on a large scale; this is something many car companies wouldn't dare to do.]

[Does Julong Steel's vehicle system even need an upgrade? It barely has any functions, okay?]

[Daring to choose a comprehensive recall and upgrade when sales are exploding—thumbs up to Julong Steel!]

There were praises, and naturally, there were critical voices.

[What were they doing earlier? They don't have their own 4S dealerships; it takes at least three days for the recall process. Who will compensate for my losses?]

[No little car to play with for three days, I'm going to die!]

[You guys actually believe the vehicle system upgrade? Don't lie to me! Anyway, I'm not accepting the recall.]

[Whoever is willing to return their vehicle is a fool.]

In the following week, Julong Steel successfully recalled nearly 8,000 vehicles and completed painting for 6,000 of them simultaneously.

But even with such efficiency, the Julong Steel Factory was still filled with vehicles waiting to be painted.

"The recall results are pretty good. Aside from a few media outlets intentionally smearing us, our recall action has received almost unanimous praise," Wang Zizhong said with a smile.

Lu Shenwei said softly, "The scraped-off car paint must also be destroyed to prevent it from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives."

"All recalled vehicles are registered, and the scraped-off paint has also been treated to be harmless," Wang Zizhong said.
