President needs to get this message as soon as possible!_1 “Is there anything else in your brain besides eating and Cosplay?!”
Daniel chided, exasperated.
“Think!
Lincoln just returned to Earth from space 9 hours ago!”
Bree was still a bit confused: “Shouldn’t he be in Jiuquan now?”
Daniel had no patience for explanations, quickly flipping through photo after photo, trying to gain more information.
The other team members also sprang into action, using keywords like [Lincoln], [Astronaut], [Cosplay], etc., to conduct searches on the Daxia Internet.
Daniel was finding it somewhat difficult.
Spy satellites weren’t designed for taking photos of people, after all.
Even if they were using top-grade satellites that could capture people’s shapes clearly, it was wishful thinking to expect clear facial photos.
Confirming Henry’s identity was achieved through the deduction based on Henry’s car and the unique location of the Third Mechanical Manufacturing Factory.
Anticipating a clear picture of Lincoln’s face through a spacesuit, seems like a fantasy.

Even then, Daniel had a strong intuition: the person inside the spacesuit had to be Lincoln!
Having just returned from space without heading to Jiuquan for rest, he bypassed everything and headed straight for the mech manufacturing factory.
It showed how seriously he took this matter!
The possibility of “Lincoln building a mech” increased significantly!
The only thing missing now was proof that the person in the spacesuit was indeed Lincoln.
What frustrated him slightly: to confirm this, he had to rely on Daxia’s social networks!
Agitated, he looked at the satellite photos coming in while simultaneously refreshing the Daxia Internet updates on his mobile phone, computer, and tablet.
This was what all team members were doing.
If an outsider saw this, they might think they were goofing off en masse…

Meanwhile, at the Xiajing Third Mechanical Manufacturing Factory, after Lincoln greeted everyone and explained why he was wearing a spacesuit, they finally understood.
They let out a collective “Oh!” and, suppressing their incredulity, led him and Henry inside the factory.
Everyone gave him curious looks all the way.
This was, after all, heavy-duty industrial production premises — not a comic convention.
Seeing a spaceman in such an environment was beyond incongruous.
Lincoln was undeterred and followed the factory manager and an engineer into a huge workshop, unhurriedly.
— He had no choice but to take his time.
The full spacesuit weighed nearly 90 pounds.
Though weightless in space, this artifact was like weight training in reality — a heavy and cumbersome burden that slowed him down.
Inside the workshop, the first things Lincoln saw were two gargantuan “feet”.
He looked around at the spacious workshop where workers were busily at work.
Machines roared, and various special steel materials were molded by machines into large parts, one after the other.
Various parts that could be pre-assembled were being assembled simultaneously.
“There are eight more workshops like this, and 70% of the skilled workers in the factory are working hard on this project,” the factory manager explained loudly.
Lincoln looked again at the two steel feet — over three meters long and two meters high — and then looked up at the roof of the workshop, commenting, “This can’t fit in here, can it?”
“You’re right, we’ve cleared an open area outside.
But before we head over there, our engineers have some questions they’d like to ask you, Mr.
Lincoln.
Would that be okay?”
“Here?” Lincoln asked.
ƝονǤο.ᴄᴑ
With the deafening noise in here, any conversation would have to be shouted.
“Of course not, please follow me.”
The factory manager led them into a soundproof room in the workshop.
Six engineers were already in there, poring over blueprints.
— For them, recreating the items in the blueprints wasn’t hard.
All they had to do was follow the guides.
But understanding Lincoln’s design philosophy and the wisdom within was a bigger lesson.
Understanding these concepts would not only greatly benefit the construction of the mech but would also likely provide a great learning opportunity for these technical experts.
That was what the factory manager and the technologists were thinking, given Lincoln’s reputation.
Lincoln had no intention to withhold any information and engaged in a full hour and a half discussion with these engineers without any reservation.
After answering their accumulated questions and inspecting the currently produced mechanical components, he left for the open assembly field after personally witnessing the assembly process of the mech’s hand and forearm.
The site isn’t much to look at right now, with only empty steel frames and lifting equipment.
Not until tomorrow, when the two legs are pulled over and the mech parts officially start assembly, will this place start bustling with activity.
However, Lincoln suggested, “You should cover it up with a tarp or something.
If a drone were to capture images that get plastered all over the Internet, it would diminish the surprise for the netizens when they first see it, and that would be a real shame.”
“No problem, we’ll have it fenced off by tonight.” The factory manager immediately agreed.
This place originally had a simple retractable transparent shelter, in case the assembled parts get rained on.
Lincoln’s suggestion would require a bit more effort to enshroud the entire area completely.
No big expense there.
By offering to send Lincoln progress pictures of the mech, the factory manager managed to get his contact details before happily sending him on his way out of the factory.
Immediately, he assigned the task: Seal off the ‘Mech Assembly Site’ as quickly as possible!

Meanwhile, a photo of Lincoln in an astronaut suit at the factory gates ended up online.
The interesting part is: the photographer wasn’t a factory worker.
The first one to be recognized was not Lincoln, but Yue Pengju.
Lincoln was in isolation at the Aerospace Center, and even though the security team did follow him there, Yue Pengju didn’t.
Lincoln figured he’d give him a long break after his quarantine.
This would double up as a belated Spring Festival vacation.
However, Yue Pengju didn’t expect Lincoln to have departed from the safe confines of the Aerospace Center mere moments after notifying him of his quarantine— in Henry’s car.
Yue Pengju then immediately sped towards the mechanical plant to meet with Lincoln.
If not for the traffic regulations, he would have floored it the whole way there!
His mode of transport was rather conspicuous.
According to the netizens, both he and his car were recognizable.
They knew he was Lincoln’s bodyguard.
Because he picked up Lincoln at the factory gate, a few passersby started to recognize that it was Lincoln under the spacesuit.
Overrun by a sense of surprise upon bumping into Lincoln, they clicked away.
A bold fellow even ran up to Lincoln to ask for a selfie.
He proudly showed Lincoln his [First Generation Player Commemorative Badge] on the Cloud Dream app while speaking, so Lincoln humored him and posed with a ‘yeah’ for the picture, despite being bundled up in the hefty spacesuit.
Yue Pengju even took the group photo.
Before posting the photo online, this guy very tactfully sought Lincoln’s permission.
Lincoln casually consented, while Yue Pengju looked rather displeased.
On the ride back, he began to wonder if he should request a few more cars to rotate for use or perhaps he should adopt the habit of wearing a mask and sunglasses whenever he’s out with Lincoln?
What if he becomes the weak link in their security?
What a joke that would be!
…
Meanwhile, back in Virginia, the ‘Lincoln Countermeasures Group’ finally obtained pivotal evidence — a clear, frontal picture of Lincoln wearing a spacesuit.
The backdoor to the Third Mechanical Manufacturing Factory in Xiajing City was even visible in the background of the picture!
Finally, the chain of evidence was complete.
Daniel immediately started writing his report for submission.
Think about it, the moment Lincoln touched down, he headed straight to the mech factory in an inconvenient spacesuit to inspect the progress and stayed there for over two hours!
What could he have been doing in there?
Who would need to ask?
As Daniel was about to step out to file his report, the team urgently reported a new development—
The open ground that was under 24-hour surveillance by spy satellites was being obscured by red, white, and blue fabric by the workers!
Bree was rather shocked, “Tri-color fabric?
Isn’t that what Daxia usually uses to cover up advanced weapons?
Have they become aware of the satellite surveillance?”
Daniel kept his cool, “Not necessarily.
But regardless of their reasons, they’re definitely trying to keep something under wraps!
And since it happened immediately after Lincoln showed up, it’s very likely that they adopted these emergency measures because he was dissatisfied with their confidentiality measures.”
“Which essentially confirms: The mech will indeed be constructed there!
And it will start soon!”
“We don’t have any time to lose.
I need to report this to the Director right away!”
“And the President needs to hear this news immediately!”
