Chapter 294 Xu Ye's Rebellion

Chapter 294 Xu Ye's Rebellion

During the Anti-Japanese War, when flames of war raged and mountains and rivers were in ruins, the long river of history was like surging waves, sweeping up the ups and downs of the fate of countless people.

In this troubled time, there are always some people who are like meteors streaking across the night sky, shining briefly but falling into the abyss of darkness helplessly because of wrong choices.

Xu Ye is such a lamentable character.

Xu Ye's name was also quite famous in the professional circle of electromagnetics at that time.

Although he was very young, he was regarded as a rare young talent with a bright future due to his outstanding talent.

However, beneath the seemingly glamorous appearance, a heart corrupted by money is quietly changing.

Xu Ye was born in an ordinary working-class family in Jiang Wufa's country. In that war-torn era, the family lived a hard life.

Since he was a child, he has shown an extraordinary obsession and talent for electronic equipment.

An old radio and a discarded flashlight, these things that are useless in the eyes of others, seem to have magic in his hands.

He can skillfully disassemble these complex electronic devices, and then reassemble them with his own understanding and imagination, and even make them perform unexpected functions.

This unique talent was fully demonstrated after he entered university.

In the turbulent study environment, he still eagerly studied the knowledge in the field of electromagnetism.

With his unyielding perseverance and outstanding wisdom, he came up with several imaginative inventions during his college years, which attracted the attention of many experts and scholars and laid a solid foundation for his future scientific research.

After graduation, the country was in urgent need of scientific research talents. With his outstanding professional ability, Xu Ye successfully entered a military scientific research institution and focused on electromagnetic research.

At that time, this scientific research institution was an important unit that shouldered the responsibility of the country's hopes and the nation's future.

Those who can enter it are all full of passion and ambition to serve the country.

However, the war brought not only turmoil and suffering, but also quietly awakened Xu Ye's deep desire for money.

Although he had a relatively stable income and a good research environment in the scientific research institution, whenever he saw those who made a fortune from the national disaster during the war, the balance in his heart began to gradually become unbalanced.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he often tossed and turned, fantasizing that he could become rich overnight and escape from this seemingly dull but difficult scientific research life.

With the accumulation of experience and the continuous emergence of research results, his position was gradually promoted and he had more and more resources at his disposal.

But at the same time, his inner greed grew wildly like weeds, and his desire for money became increasingly difficult to curb.

Just then, the situation changed.

In order to improve the level of military scientific research, we began to recruit professional talents across the country, hoping to gather forces from all parties, break through technical bottlenecks, and contribute to the victory of the War of Resistance.

With his excellent resume and past research results, Xu Ye successfully passed the rigorous screening process and became a member of our scientific research team.

When he first joined, Xu Ye did show great enthusiasm for work.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to scientific research, and used his superb professional knowledge to solve a number of technical problems that had plagued the team for a long time, bringing important breakthroughs to the research and development of electromagnetic weapons.

The electromagnetic gun developed by the team he led has gotten rid of the dependence on gunpowder and reduced the weight, and may become an important individual weapon in the future.

Thanks to this invention, the team members praised him highly and regarded him as a capable partner in scientific research.

However, no one knew that beneath the appearance of his hard work, he hid a heart that had long been corroded by greed.

The reason why he chose to join us was not out of loyalty to the country and the nation, nor was it a love for scientific research, but because he was attracted by the relatively generous treatment here and the "business opportunities" that he believed he could take advantage of.

In his eyes, this is just a stepping stone for him to realize his dream of wealth. As long as he accumulates enough capital and connections here, he can find better "buyers" and realize his unrealistic dream of getting rich.

Sure enough, not long after, a secret envoy from Jiang Wufa's camp quietly found Xu Ye.

This secret emissary appeared like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, carrying an attractive bait.

The other party offered an irresistible high price, promising that as long as Xu Ye was willing to betray the liberated area and take his scientific research results with him, he would not only obtain countless wealth, but also enjoy glory and wealth and live a life of luxury from then on.

Xu Ye's heart was moved, and at that moment, the greed in his heart completely overcame his reason.

He began to rack his brains to plan how to steal the scientific research results without being noticed and give them to the enemy.

However, he underestimated the vigilance and awareness of our scientific research team.

During that special period of war, we were fully aware of the importance of scientific research results to the victory of the War of Resistance. Every research was related to the lives of countless soldiers and the future of the country.

Therefore, scientific research institutions have adopted extremely strict confidentiality measures.

Especially those research projects related to key weapons against Japanese invaders:

Projects such as mushroom bombs, satellites, launch vehicles, and intercontinental missiles are being researched day and night. There are people in the laboratory 24 hours a day, and monitoring equipment is everywhere.

Scientific research data is strictly controlled, and every review and use must go through layers of approval to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Xu Ye tried many times but could never find an opportunity to take action.

Every carefully planned action came to naught in the face of strict precautions.

He was extremely anxious, fearing that he would miss this so-called "opportunity to make a fortune".

Just when Xu Ye was at a loss, his eyes were fixed on Li Yunlong's technical information about the robot wolf.

This is a highly forward-looking technology that can perform various tasks in complex environments and has extremely high military value.

It’s just that our energy is focused on the mushroom bomb-related field, and the robot wolf project has been shelved.

Therefore, the technical data storage measures of the robot wolf were relatively lax, giving him the opportunity to take action.

Xu Ye is well aware of the importance of this technology, and also understands that if it is taken away, it will cause considerable losses to our side.

However, at this moment, he was blinded by greed and completely disregarded the interests of the country and the dignity of the nation.

Driven by desire, he made up his mind to steal the information at all costs in exchange for his own wealth and glory...

In order to obtain the long-coveted technical information of the robot wolf, he began to secretly plan a betrayal conspiracy like a mouse hiding in the dark.

Xu Ye took advantage of his daily work and quietly approached the person in charge of keeping the information.

He always had a fake smile on his face, and deliberately tried to get close to others. He found various excuses every day to chat with the custodians, trying to get closer to them.

Not only that, he also gave some carefully prepared small gifts from time to time, either scarce daily necessities or precious "local specialties".

These small favors were like sugar-coated bullets, which slowly broke down the custodian's defenses and made the other party trust him unknowingly.

Unknowingly, Xu Ye learned a lot of details about data storage.

Finally, an opportunity that seemed ordinary but was considered a great opportunity by Xu Ye arrived.

It was late at night and the entire liberated area was immersed in sleep, with only the sound of patrolling footsteps occasionally breaking the tranquility of the night.

Xu Ye slipped out of his residence quietly like a ghost, and his figure looked particularly strange in the moonlight.

He carefully avoided the sight of the patrol officers and moved towards the data room.

He took every step extremely cautiously, fearing that any noise would reveal his whereabouts.

When he arrived at the door of the data room, he looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no one there, he used the electronic master key he developed to open the door lock, cracked the password, and gently pushed open the tightly closed door.

The archive room was filled with the smell of stale paper, and the faint moonlight shone through the gaps in the windows onto the neatly arranged archive shelves.

Xu Ye's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and greed flashed in his eyes.

He quickly walked to the safe where the technical data of the robot wolf was stored, and with trembling fingers he used technical means to open the door.

He took out the camera he had prepared in advance and, using the dim light, quickly took photos of some key technical information.

After taking the photo, he nervously took out the film and carefully hid it among his belongings.

He locked the safe back into place.

After doing all this, Xu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with a complex emotion of pride and nervousness.

He knew clearly that he had just taken a step of betrayal and was about to embark on a path of no return.

But when he thought of the huge wealth and attractive status offered by Jiang Wufa, the temptation of money was like the whisper of the devil, which made him completely lose himself and unable to extricate himself.

He hurried back to his residence, packed his bags in a panic, and prepared to escape from the liberated area under the cover of night.

His movements were quick and panicky, as if something terrible was chasing him from behind.

When he was about to step out of the gate of the liberated area with his heavy bag, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him, like a bolt from the blue, and froze him in place.

That was his wife, with her family who had just been reunited in the liberated area.

Xu Ye was stunned. Looking at his family members' faces that were full of expectation and confusion, an indescribable guilt and struggle surged in his heart.

The warm times he had spent with his family flashed through his mind like a movie, and at that moment, he felt a little shaken.

However, in just a moment, the huge wealth and high status promised by Jiang Wufa's camp appeared before his eyes again.

Desire was like a flood, instantly drowning his only remaining conscience.

He hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, turned around resolutely, and said coldly, "I'm sorry." Then he strode away without looking back, leaving his wife and family standing there in a daze.

His wife and family members stood there in a daze, as if they were under a spell. It took them a long time to realize what had happened.

Their cries instantly broke the silence of the night. His wife shouted Xu Ye's name and chased after him desperately with her family.

However, Xu Ye's figure had already disappeared into the vast night, leaving only their helpless cries echoing in the night sky.

Xu Ye's wife was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. She suppressed her grief and hurriedly reported the news of Xu Ye's escape.

At this time, Xu Ye, under the guidance of the reception personnel sent by Jiang Wufa, successfully left the liberated area.

The news quickly spread among the scientific research team, causing an uproar throughout the team.

No one could believe that this colleague, who seemed honest and actively participated in scientific research, would commit such a despicable act of betrayal.

Anger spread among the team, and some people excitedly suggested threatening his family to force him to return the stolen technical data.

However, when faced with this suggestion, our senior management firmly and decisively rejected it.
