Chapter 267 - 267 The Upcoming Exhibition
267 The Upcoming Exhibition
“Don’t try to show off. Our main task now is to protect Wu Mo’s safety. After the exhibition starts, we have a secret mission to carry out. If you get injured here, who else can complete the follow-up mission?”
Bald Eagle’s tone softened as he looked at the gray sky in the distance.
Lone Wolf shook his head and did not say anything.
Although he felt that Bald Eagle had made the wrong decision, Bald Eagle was clearly superior in terms of overall vision and battle command.
Lone Wolf acquiesced to the former’s next plan as well.
The two of them turned around and entered the command room. They continued to come up with strategies based on the problems that Lushui County was currently facing. They planned to expel the Rank 6 Gray Howlers with the least collateral damage, or kill them on the spot.
However, since the two of them were injured, dealing with the Rank 6 Gray Howlers would not be an easy thing despite having a strategy.
Three days had passed by the time they were done with the matters in Lushui County.
In those three days, Wu Mo continued to maintain a two-way lifestyle.
Normally, his work and rest would be carried out in the laboratory. Wu Mo would only go down to the cafeteria during his three meals.
The other departments on the same floor had seen his hard work for so many days, and their admiration for Wu Mo grew.
It was difficult for someone who already had such achievements to maintain prolonged passion for academia.
Even ordinary graduate students who had just joined the Research Department could not devote themselves to work for 10 days in a row.
However, Wu Mo had done it.
Also, it seemed like he was going to continue since he basically never stepped out to rest.
Occasionally, he would come out for a breath of fresh air. Then, he would go back in.
Every time Wu Mo came out, although he would be physically and mentally exhausted, there would be a trace of passion in his eyes. It looked like he was still in a state of excitement as if he had discovered a new continent.
This persistent spirit in academic research made everyone sigh in admiration.
Wu Mo had gained a lot of new knowledge from his research during this period. He had also made some progress in the research of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, and everything was developing step by step.
The work was done. So, he began to refine the values of each module, as well as the connection problems that only needed to be considered during assembly.
When he was developing the Invisibility Armor, Wu Mo had some problems with the joints.
This time, he made a list of all the things that needed to be done, and he completed each task seriously.
Although his life was boring, every time he saw the information in the documents decreasing, he thought about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. It would likely be realized in the next month.
The anticipation and excitement in his heart were beyond words.
After so many days of research, he could clearly sense that his forging skills had also increased.
Perhaps after the year-end exchange, he would have a breakthrough!
Three days had passed, and the sun was shining brightly in the morning.
Wu Mo was still writing in front of the computer about his understanding of technology and the answers to the challenges that came with the maneuvering gear.
He planned to wait until the three-dimensional gear was completely developed, then organize the data and publish a paper.
He had to achieve a technological breakthrough and achieve his goal.
During this time, he even took some time to contact Liao Dongcheng’s superior.
Of course, he did not have the leader’s phone number. He had to ask Academician Xu for the details.
Wu Mo briefly explained his current research to Liao Dongcheng, who was surprised to hear Wu Mo’s thoughts.
He expressed on the spot that if the solution was successfully developed, he had to be invited to take a look.
As for Wu Mo’s application form, Liao Dongcheng never forgot about it.
He was just waiting for Wu Mo’s third technological breakthrough paper to be published, and he immediately submitted the application form that he had already drafted.
Liao Dongcheng’s superior also told him some unusual things about the current situation, such as the frequent appearance of space-time rifts and the beasts surrounding the city.
However, their discussion did not reach any conclusion. Liao Dongcheng’s superior also told him to focus on research and that the military would take care of the security aspect.
Although the phone call only lasted less than 10 minutes, Wu Mo was very grateful to General Liao Dongcheng. As a military leader in the war zone, with the rank of brigadier general, he was willing to do such things for a second lieutenant.
He did not act high and mighty in the slightest.
At this moment, Wu Mo was still in front of his computer, writing down what he had learned so far.
Suddenly, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door.
Wu Mo immediately got up to check. When he opened the door, he found Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle, who had gone to Lushui County a few days ago, standing outside.
The two of them had changed into clean military uniforms, and both of them looked a little tired.
Wu Mo was slightly taken aback. When he saw the two of them, he immediately said, “How did you guys get here? How’s the situation in Lushui County?”
“We’ve already driven that beast away. The great array that covers the city walls has already been repaired, and it’ll continue to strengthen the city’s defense!”
Bald Eagle was the first to speak. He then peeked into the laboratory and suspiciously asked, “You’re not busy with anything right now, are you?”
Wu Mo shook his head subconsciously, not knowing why Bald Eagle had asked this question.
Hearing Wu Mo’s reply, Bald Eagle heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. The White River province’s exhibition in the capital will begin at 1.00 pm. We have to leave now or we’ll be late.”
Wu Mo was dumbfounded when he heard the urgency in Bald Eagle’s tone.
“Didn’t they decide on the time for the exhibition five days in advance? How could it be too late?”
“Well… we were going to leave at 10.00 am, but Academician Xu said that you’ve been working too hard recently, so he wanted you to rest a little more,” Bald Eagle said helplessly.
Lone Wolf stood at the side with a straight face. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, as though he wanted to see Bald Eagle in an awkward situation.
“Alright, this is not the time to rest either. Hurry up and go.”
Wu Mo went back to save the thesis on his computer and quickly left the laboratory with Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf.
The other researchers on the floor saw the three of them leave, and they could not help but take another look.
Before long, the three of them left the fifth Research Department in a camouflage military vehicle.
The exhibition venue was more than 50 kilometers away from the Research Department, in the other end of Jingdu.
The chauffeur drove on the smooth road quietly.
Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf surrounded Wu Mo on both sides.
“Do you have to be that cautious?” Wu Mo could not help but ask.
The two of them had seemingly entered a state of vigilance, and they were ready to attack at any time.
“You don’t know this, but when I left with the lightsaber, I was attacked by those inhuman groups. We shouldn’t lower our guard at any time, especially now that the exhibition is around the corner. Those inhuman groups will likely make a second move,” Bald Eagle explained as he looked out the window.
