Chapter 194: Chapter 194
David’s current progress is rather awkward.
As an outstanding professional, he excels at analyzing potential information from between the lines. For instance, at the Future Technology Institute, he could clearly hear from Qin Manman’s few words her plans for the future and the trump card she was hiding.
But the problem now isn’t whether the other side has a hidden trump card, but rather what exactly the official authorities of Zheng Country are trying to do, and how much treasure they are still hiding!!!
–– A desperate roar from the United States!
After two consecutive international embarrassments, can they truly trust Qin Manman’s groundbreaking experimental achievements again?
For god’s sake, according to the contract, the money has already arrived! They still have to spend a fortune on lawyers...
The United States’ money doesn’t grow on trees, it’s not!
This leaves David unsure whether to continue his mission or use the excuse of being summoned back home.
Compared to his distress, Qin Manman is already deep in a state of collapse.
Why is this happening?
Where exactly did things go wrong?
In the past life, these things never happened; I’ve never even heard of an All-round Defense Suit!
She stood stupidly for a while, feeling increasingly despondent—
Could it be... that there is someone more talented than Mr. Chang Geng in this world?
Is it because she sees him through the filter of love that makes Mr. Chang Geng seem so powerful?
–– But something’s still not right.
Clearly, in the past life, there was no competition when Mr. Chang Geng published these results.
Yet now, she has become a laughingstock, and likely no partner will trust her abilities again.
Clearly, these were all things she successfully analyzed, and she worked so hard!
Qin Manman paced back and forth in the room like a resentful Madam Xiang Lin, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, only repeatedly murmuring those four words:
"This is impossible..."
"This is impossible..."
"This is impossible..."
At this moment, Chu River sat huffing and puffing in front of Chang Geng:
"I’ve never been so busy! Why do you get to sit around every day?"
The anger in his tone practically materialized into a force capable of hitting someone.
However, Chang Geng merely chuckled.
"Back when you were rushing to complete your graduation tasks at the military academy, you said the same thing."
...Bringing up old stories is hardly heroic!
Chu River casually switched the topic:
"Seriously, I’ve developed so many new products; when will the Hover Shuttle project get off the ground?"
Chang Geng laughed, playing with a small hourglass, watching the dull silver sand lose its once vibrant golden hue, casually saying:
"Why did you push me to rush the progress so much!!!"
In 300 years, the resources of Mountain and Sea Star would have been completely depleted; without interstellar Hover Shuttle transitions, this planet won’t last long!
Chang Geng put down the hourglass.
Inside, the sand was as dim as iron gray, now looking almost antiquated.
And he gazed at Chu River.
"Little He, would you be willing to stay in such a world for long?"
Chu River looked at him, turning his head after a while:
"I can be in any world; where you are, I am."
Chang Geng nodded in relief.
"Mm, me too, so the Hover Shuttle project is still in progress, and the preliminary preparations cannot be overlooked. Resource allocation also requires careful national planning."
"But before that, I seem to have found a method to inspire spiritual power throughout the population, and soon, it may enter the experimental stage."
In the Star Sea Era, the change in spiritual power was due to prolonged exposure to different interstellar Cosmic Waves, gradually leading to the awakening of spiritual power in the populace.
But on Mountain and Sea Star, in such a peaceful era, they haven’t even ventured out of their star system!
Undertaking such guidance from thin air—what a massive project this would be?!
At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a bit deflated—had she known Chang Geng wasn’t idle, she wouldn’t have jumped up so much...
However, Chang Geng didn’t take the opportunity to laugh at her foolishness; instead, he sighed again:
"By then, everyone in the Hover Shuttle project team will be under my guidance, and only then can it truly begin, and we... we’ll have to go through a short yet long farewell." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel※fire.net
He gazed at Chu River, his eyes not purely black, but rather a bit shallow, with a hint of amber glow.
"I hope that day comes quickly, yet I also wish it never comes."
"But if Little He continues to delay in rescuing me, I’m afraid the me from different times and spaces will become increasingly foolish and useless... by then, I truly fear you’ll be beating me up."
