Chapter 178: Chapter 178
The ones working under her were just there for the money, and with this development, there was even less to say.
While negotiations on this collaboration were already efficiently taking place abroad, in Beijing, at the 117 Military Base.
Chu River was standing outside, watching the testing of a set of bulletproof equipment in the test field, his expression slightly displeased.
"These numbers are far too different from the ones Chang Geng provided earlier."
It’s so frustrating to lose again!
"Please don’t think that way!"
Before the scientist beside him could speak, Qin Yuze, accompanying them, was already looking serious.
"Mr. Chang Geng’s invention is indeed unprecedentedly excellent, to be honest, it’s simply unbelievable. We’ve already started working on integrating it with other military projects, and I believe it will turn out to be outstanding."
Putting aside other things, adding a layer on a tank, a layer on a submarine, or even arranging it for extreme work suits... its capabilities in heat and cold resistance and bulletproofing are ingeniously overlaid to ensure that it can still protect the human body under heavy weapon attacks!
However, the corresponding cost is high, making it difficult for mass groups to have access.
At this moment, Qin Yuze looked at the bulletproof vest on the field—I can’t say it’s cheap, but its cost is almost the same as that of the commonly used bulletproof vests today, yet the performance is worlds apart!
And during these continuous experiments over the past few days, under full-spectrum high-frequency strikes like knife cuts, needle stabs, gunfire, ice, and fire... the surface of this bulletproof vest has remained only slightly damaged!
According to the continuous testing they’ve conducted, it should withstand high-frequency impacts for over 30 hours!
Just think about the scenarios where it could be applied—
Just think about the lives that could be safely rescued in the future...
As a soldier who has experienced the battlefield, Qin Yuze’s face was filled with gratitude at this moment.
"Mr. Chu, your invention of this bulletproof vest is very suitable for individual soldiers. Compared with Mr. Chang Geng’s achievements, they are fundamentally different types of defensive equipment, and naturally, there’s no need for the two to be compared together."
He even thought the name "bulletproof vest" seemed too casual, and it should be called "All-round Defense Suit" instead.
Upon hearing the expected praise, Chu River appeared satisfied once again.
She curled her lips and unceremoniously complained:
"He was born never knowing poverty, so how could he understand the pain of stretching a penny into two?"
If you can save money, you have to!
Back in the day, I was so poor that assembling a basic scanner meant scavenging through a junkyard for three months. I can’t compare to someone like Chang Geng, who exhibited talent at a young age and was filthy rich.
Qin Yuze then recalled his investigation into Chu River’s past—
Lousy parents, the struggles of studying in poverty, and the difficulty of barely getting enough to eat at school...
And looked at Chu River with sympathetic eyes.
I’m just complaining, why are you looking at me like a crazy person?
At this moment, the old scientist, who had been directly integrated into Chu River’s project team by upper management just half a month ago, finally had a chance to speak.
"Didn’t you say you were developing mechanical prosthetics before? How come you ended up making this?"
He had been immersing himself in pondering this stuff for over a week, thinking it was research on material for mechanical prosthetics! Follow current novᴇls on noveⅼfire.net
The old scientist had only been assigned to join the team after returning to Beijing; after all, compared to the hastily formed disaster area group, the real experts were much more formidable.
This concentration and addition of scientific power were also the government’s silent support for Chu River.
Chu River had little patience for him and said confidently at this moment:
"Ugh, aren’t you tired of researching that stuff every day?"
"When you’re free, people just have to tinker with small projects, to change the mood."
This comment, are you building Lego or tangram puzzles?
How is this any different from overachievers back in the day saying, "When tired of physics problems, do language tests to refresh the mind"?
Qin Yuze, whose cultural courses were not particularly outstanding and mostly forgotten by now, at this moment vividly demonstrated what is called a "pupil quake."
He vowed that when he has children in the future, he would train them by improving their intelligence this way—how can someone be such a genius and take it all for granted!
On the contrary, the old professor nodded, quite in agreement with this statement:
"Indeed, you’ve already started preparing in the disaster area, taking a break is understandable— but now that you’ve had your break, it’s time to work on mechanical prosthetics. This is still very important at present, considering there are so many disabled people across the country."
For example... his grandson, who had an amputation due to a car accident.
At the hospital back then, when the doctor made that decision, even though he was already a renowned figure at the academy, some moments were beyond human power, ultimately leaving him helpless.
