Back in reality, she opened her eyes and took off her consciousness-sensing helmet.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the dust particles dancing in the air.
She sat up, took off her non-prescription glasses, and rubbed her temples.
Then, she stood up and walked out of the lounge.
In the corridor, I ran into Yu Qiaoqiao, who was carrying a pile of documents.
"..."
Liu Ting was speechless. Why was it that every time she met him, he was carrying a bunch of documents?
She couldn't help but reflect on it. She realized that she had given Yu Qiaoqiao too much work, to the point that Yu Qiaoqiao didn't even have time to ask someone else to do things like carrying documents.
She had just returned to the Institute of High Energy Physics yesterday when she heard that Yu Qiaoqiao had been put in solitary confinement for attacking her colleagues. She had just been released this morning, and now she was back to work.
They were truly dedicated and responsible.
Upon seeing "Liu Ting," Yu Qiaoqiao quickly approached and asked in a low voice, "Junior Sister, I heard... that... Chen Desheng and the others... are all dead?"
"Ah."
"Liu Ting" continued walking forward, her tone calm, "They're all dead, not a single one left alive. The teacher's injustice has been redressed, and the great revenge has been achieved. It's all over."
A look of joy flashed in Yu Qiaoqiao's eyes. She wanted to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head and silently followed behind "Liu Ting".
"Liu Ting" lied to her; it wasn't over yet, on the contrary, it was just beginning.
However, these things are not for Yu Qiaoqiao to know. Let Gao Jiyuan's matter be put to rest in Yu Qiaoqiao's heart.
Liu Ting walked into the research lab, pushed open the door, and saw more than a dozen researchers busy adjusting various equipment.
Upon seeing "Liu Ting" enter, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her.
"Academician Liu!"
"Academician Liu, you've arrived!"
"Academician Liu, we..."
"Liu Ting" waved her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
She walked to the main experimental table, turned around, and faced everyone with a calm yet sharp gaze.
"Everyone, the project team's work was somewhat affected by Academician Gao's accident some time ago. Now, the matter has been resolved."
"Starting today, I will officially take over from Academician Gao and be fully responsible for the subsequent research and development of the electromagnetic railgun project."
"Everyone in the research group should put aside all other work and fully focus on the research of the electromagnetic railgun."
"We must finish what Academician Gao didn't finish in the shortest possible time."
"Develop the railgun."
Her voice wasn't loud or booming, but her calm and resolute tone conveyed a powerful sense of strength to everyone present.
Although Academician Gao Jiyuan has passed away, the research and development of the electromagnetic railgun cannot stop.
That was the culmination of his life's work, and the thing he ultimately protected with his life.
The researchers present exchanged glances, then responded in unison:
"Yes!"
Yu Qiaoqiao stood at the door, looking at the young figure standing in front of the lab table, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
The girl in the white coat and glasses, who looked quiet and gentle, was four years younger than him, but at that moment she seemed like a stabilizing force, firmly planted in his heart.
Her father, like a mountain, collapsed, but an even taller mountain rose up to shelter her from the wind and rain.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but admire her father's excellent judgment.
After assigning the tasks, "Liu Ting" returned to her office and closed the door.
She turned on her computer, accessed a top-secret encrypted folder, and entered a password and biometric verification code that was dozens of characters long.
Inside the folder lay a project proposal titled "Project Abyss Watcher".
She didn't let anyone else handle this project proposal; she wrote it all herself, bit by bit, using spare moments during this period.
If its contents were made public, they would be enough to instantly and drastically change the entire technological landscape of the Earth.
In the Ling Cage world, Bai Yuekui has completed the research on the universalization and mass production of the Lin Yuanzhe armor. All the related technologies have been transferred to Mai Duo, and naturally, they have also been transferred to Liu Ting.
All the relevant technical data, design drawings, manufacturing processes, and so on, are in her hands.
The power of the Abyss Warrior Armor is beyond doubt. Even in the Swallowed Starry Sky, on Earth which has not yet connected with the universe, it is still the highest-grade armor, with defensive capabilities comparable to the Black God Set.
Furthermore, the Abyss Warrior Armor not only provides defense, but also considerable strength and the ability to fly.
Wearing a set of Abyss Warrior armor, even a quasi-martial artist with average physical attributes can gain combat power no less than that of a War God warrior.
If fully equipped for Hanxia's warrior troops...
That would be a legion whose members are all war gods!
Once this thing is mass-produced, it will be enough to overturn the existing power structure of the entire Earth.
"Liu Ting" encrypted and transmitted the project proposal to Yao Weiwu's private communication terminal with her highest level of personal access.
This was to be done through Yao Weiwu, to conduct a secret assessment and preparation for the project at the highest national level.
The production of the Abyss Warrior Armor requires a massive amount of resources and energy. If preparations are not made in advance, once production begins, it will inevitably strain resources in other parts of the country, causing adverse effects.
Furthermore, the materials and flesh of lord-level monsters needed to manufacture the armor must be collected and stockpiled in advance.
Various parts also need to be manufactured in batches and stockpiled in large quantities starting now.
In short, we'll prepare it first, and then she'll just focus on the assembly and final fusion.
Chapter 270 Family, Huge Compensation
In New Town, America, at the Cromwell residence, the patriarch, Milo Cromwell, is unleashing his fury on a young man in his thirties.
"Fool! Fool!! How could I have a grandson like you? Do you want to drag the entire family to hell?!"
Click!
A beautiful porcelain cup was smashed to the ground by Milo, shattering into pieces in an instant.
Ronan Cromwell shrank back, his already pale face turning even more bloodless, and he looked utterly dejected.
“Grandfather, I didn’t want this either. I just wanted to earn some pocket money. It’s been like this for over ten years without any problems. Who knew it would turn out like this?”
"If I had known it would turn out this way, I would never have dared to harm a senior academician even if you killed me!"
Milo was exasperated: "I told you long ago to take the right path. With the support of the Cromwell family, what right path can't lead to the top? Why did you have to take the crooked path!"
"Now look what's happened! If it weren't for my brother's affection for you and his insistence on protecting you, I would have really handed you over to Hanxia!"
Milos's older brother is Elliott. Although Milos is the head of the family, Elliott is a planetary-level being. It's obvious who really calls the shots in the Cromwell family.
Ronan immediately knelt on the ground: "Grandfather, Grandfather! I know I was wrong, I don't want to die, please don't hand me over to Hanxia!"
Milo sat down, his eyes filled with disappointment: "Enough, you idiot! If we were really going to hand you over, why did the family go to such lengths before, even pushing America to seize control of the No. 26 ancient civilization site?"
"Why would I help you cut off your tail completely?"
"All you do when something goes wrong is cry and scream in panic, you have no sense of thinking or independent judgment at all! The thought of entrusting the family to someone like you in the future gives me a splitting headache!"
Ronan knelt on the ground, head bowed, and remained silent.
Milo, annoyed, waved his hand and said, "Get out and reflect on your actions. The family has covered this up for you. From now on, you'd better walk the right path. If it happens again, even your eldest brother won't protect you."
"roll!"
“Yes, yes, Grandfather, I’ll get out of here right now!” Ronan stumbled out of the room, then left the Cromwell house and went straight to a bar he owned.
He locked himself in the lounge and then started going berserk, smashing things.
"You old bastard, you old scoundrel, you old scum! You took every penny of the tribute I paid, and now that something's happened, you blame it all on me and even told me to get out! You motherfucker, you motherfucker, you motherfucker!"
A series of crashing and breaking sounds filled the lounge, making Brooks, who had received the news and rushed over, hesitate whether to knock on the door.
Suddenly, the noise in the room stopped. Ronan opened the door, reverting to his usual confident yet wicked, flamboyant yet elegant demeanor.
"Hey Brooks, my friend, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I'm so sorry you had to see my indecent side."
He welcomed Brooks into the room, swept his mental energy across it, and quickly restored the extremely messy room to its original tidiness. He managed to clear out a clean sofa for Brooks to sit on and personally poured him a cup of coffee.
Brooks accepted the coffee, flattered, took a sip, and then whispered, "Hanxia sent back a message confirming that Gale Water has a certain effect in attracting King-level monsters."
"In the Hanxia Jiangnan Military Region, an advanced intelligent fighter jet whose fuel was mixed with Gale Water has been confirmed to have been destroyed by a King-level monster."
Upon hearing this, Ronan's eyes immediately gleamed.
He poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and chuckled, "It seems it's about time my dear grandfather also met his end by chance with a King-level monster, leaving no trace of his remains."
Ronan downed his piping hot coffee in one gulp, put down the cup, placed his hands on Brooks' shoulders as he sat on the sofa, and looked at him:
"Brooks, my friend, it's up to you now."
Brooks stood up, his gaze resolute: "Young Master Ronan saved my life despite past grievances and treated me with sincerity. Brooks will dedicate himself to this cause until his dying breath!"
Ronan: "...Brooks, you'd better stop using these idioms. You know I've never liked reading since I was a child, so I really don't understand what you're saying."
"So, in short, it means there are no problems, right?"
Brooks nodded vigorously.
The following day, Liu Ting, who was rapidly advancing her research on the electromagnetic railgun, received news that Gao Jiyuan's pension had arrived.
She seized Yu Qiaoqiao, took her to the Jiangnan Military Region, and made her receive a huge compensation of 2000 billion yuan as her daughter.
This compensation is clearly far beyond what is expected of someone of Gao Jiyuan's rank. Normally, the compensation from the state for the death of a senior academician or a high-ranking war hero is between 100 billion and 200 billion yuan.
After all, the human situation is precarious, and there are simply no extra resources to allocate to the dead who can no longer contribute to humanity. The so-called compensation is more about providing basic security for the families of heroes, rather than making them rich.
The reason why a full 200 billion was issued this time is most likely because of the hard work of "Liu Ting" and the five invincible war goddesses such as Yue Lingshan.
The five invincible war gods went through a lot of trouble for Gao Jiyuan's sake, even killing a king-level monster, and in the end they only got 20 billion. Is that reasonable?
In order to prevent the actions of the five invincible war gods from appearing cheap and disrupting the market, the state insisted on raising the compensation to 2000 billion yuan to appease Gao Jiyuan's loyal soul.
This kind of treatment is probably not even available to planetary-level beings. Gao Jiyuan didn't enjoy it while he was alive, but he got it after he died. He has to thank Miss Liu.
