Chapter 229: The News Shook the Capital City
He also understood the principle of not forgetting one’s original heart.
Therefore, Wu Mo would never be complacent and stagnate after reaching a certain height.
Learning and constantly improving were the true joys of life.
A few minutes later, Wu Mo watched as Liao Dongcheng left the Research Department.
After that, he talked to Academician Xu about some issues regarding future mass production.
However, after all the problems were solved, Wu Mo turned around and walked back to his villa.
On the way, his mind was still thinking about the problem of the materials used to improve the Spirit Wave Sword.
At the same time, the news that the leaders were going to the fifth Research Department for an inspection immediately swept through the major institutions, families, and consortiums in Jingdu.
Of course, the specific information of this new weapon would only be circulated in the military. The corporations outside only knew that the fifth Research Department was currently mass-producing a new weapon with great power.
It also attracted many high-ranking military leaders to guide the work.
Once this information was released, it immediately set off a huge storm in the capital.
The first to bear the brunt were the organizations that had leaders guiding the work of the fifth Research Department.
For example, the Hunter Bureau and the city defense army.
The Hunter Bureau was made up of high-level cultivators, and it was under the jurisdiction of the military.
His main job was to head to various battlefields and hunt down high-grade dire beasts. He would also hand over the hunted materials to national-level institutions for research and development.
At that time, the core organization would analyze the information and send it to the major research institutes, which would finally develop weapons that could have great effects on the beast.
And this weapon was very similar to the vaccine that was injected into the human body.
Hence, it was given the name “genetic weapon.”
The genetic weapons that had been developed were eventually used by the cultivators on the battlefield. However, the one with the most equipment was the Hunter Bureau.
With genetic sequence weapons, they would be able to use specialized genetic weapons to deal with suitable fierce beasts when they encountered them.
Genetic weapons could only deal damage to specific monsters, and they were destructive. They could instantly kill a Rank 6 beast.
However, when facing other beasts, he was helpless.
In addition, the research and development of special weapons were difficult and required too much funding.
As a result, it was gradually put on hold, and usually, a new weapon could only be produced every year.
Moreover, it was very troublesome to assemble the equipment in the department.
The high-level cultivators in the beast hunting bureau had been suffering for a long time. They had long wanted to get a weapon that was effective against all high-level fierce beasts. That way, they would not have to fight the murderer in close combat every time they went on a mission, which eventually caused countless casualties.
Now, when they heard from their leader that such a weapon was being developed, many of the hunters were so excited that they couldn’t speak.
“Boss, you’re not lying to us, are you?”
After hearing the director’s description, the team leaders sitting in the conference room suddenly widened their eyes.
Some of them were excited, while some were skeptical, thinking that the director was just using it as a cover to motivate them.
“F*ck off! When did I lie? This is a fact. The fifth Research Department will be building a workshop soon. If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself.”
Bai Li, who was sitting at the head of the table, pulled a long face and cursed.
Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of his brothers who had gone through life and death with him. He continued to add with a serious face, “All of you better perform well. They said that when mass production is completed, each organization will only get ten. Whether you can use such a powerful weapon will depend on your own strength.
Bai Li’s words immediately invigorated the team leaders.
“Director Bai, if we get a laser sword this time, our team has to get one. Last time, our team had to risk our lives to kill the Rank 6 Nightmare Tapir, and we were almost wiped out. This achievement should be worth getting one, right?”
The leader of Team 1 reacted quickly. He stood up immediately and spoke proudly.
When the other team leaders saw this situation, they were instantly unhappy.
“What do you mean by”a group should get one of the merits”? Don’t tell me that Team 5 doesn’t have the qualifications? When the Rank 6 Iron-hoofed Camel appeared in the southeastern war zone not far from the capital, wasn’t it our Team 5 who took care of it? Is that not as great a contribution as yours?”
“There’s also us, Team 3…”
Seeing that the group leaders were about to start quarreling, Bai Li immediately said, “Don’t argue. A real man doesn’t boast about his past achievements. Of course, I know about your previous achievements, but this laser sword is the latest product. The competition will start today and last for a total of three months. During this period, the top nine teams that kill the most high-tier beasts will each get one.
Hearing the director’s words, everyone quieted down.
But a moment later, someone immediately noticed that something was wrong.
There were 10 of them, but why were there only 9 in their group?
there’s even a commission for this?
Just as they were feeling puzzled, they saw the leader of Team 6 speak.
“Director Bai, what about the last one?”
The leader of Team 6 was more straightforward. He couldn’t understand the truth for a while and asked subconsciously.
The rest of the people’s expressions changed slightly, but they did not expose him. Instead, they pretended to look at Director Bai Li innocently.
“F*ck, there’s still one I can keep for myself, can’t I?”
Bai Li could be considered to have gone all out, and he directly spoke out.
Ever since he came back from the fifth Research Department, he had been drooling over the laser sword that could cut through military vehicles. That thing was more powerful than his current weapons. He had to keep one for himself to show off when he got it.
But when he heard Director Bai’s words, the leader of Team 6 helplessly said, “Don’t you have a Legendary-grade treasured saber?”
Bai Li had just picked up his cup and was planning to drink a mouthful of water to moisten his throat. At the same time, he thought that it was too difficult to communicate with this group of men.
However, before he could swallow the water, he saw Team 6 leader’s resentful expression. He couldn’t hold it in and spat out the tea.
Seeing Director Bai’s embarrassment, the faces of the team leaders around him turned red.
“Meeting dismissed!
“Shut up!” he shouted angrily, then immediately picked up his glass and walked out of the conference room.
Everyone laughed when they saw the director run away, while the leader of Team 6 sat there with a dumbfounded look.
The Hunter Bureau ended the happy part, and the other team leaders returned to their respective areas. They repeated what the director had said earlier, but omitted the details. They emphasized that if they performed well, they would be given a powerful weapon.
When these words were thrown out, they immediately ignited the expectations of all the cultivators.
The whole Hunter Bureau was in a state of chaos. Everyone was working hard to become one of the nine groups that would be given weapons in three months.
