Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Quantum Processor’s first meal

Ding Yue opened the car door for He Xingzhou. This was something that He Xingzhou was not used to.

After he got into the car, he found that the space in the car was unusually spacious. There was a removable and folded leather sofa, a car-mounted computer, a car-mounted radar, and so on!

Xu Zhilan emphasized, “There are guns, smoke grenades, and bullets in the drawer under your seat. There’s also an emergency medkit in the car.”

“Do you know how to use a gun?”

“No.” He Xingzhou shook his head.

“Then I’ll teach you when there’s time!” Xu Zhilan said, “It’s good to learn some basics.”

“Sure!” He Xingzhou was also very interested. Military weapons were also part of his research plan!

The Jeep drove out of the secret base and headed all the way to the research facility in the outskirts of Beijing.

When they arrived, the research facility was undergoing emergency renovations . The construction here was not being done by ordinary workers, but by an engineering unit from the military!

He Xingzhou surveyed the situation. The research facility included both an above ground and underground component. The underground portion of the research institute would be built with a missile-proof walls so all confidential experiments would be carried out underground.

But the facility wasn’t what He Xingzhou wanted to look at. He found someone working onsite and asked, “Will the research facility have its own power source?”

The staff replied, “Yes, the research facility originally has a small generator. Even if there is a power outage, it can still work for a period of time.”

“Good, bring me over!” He Xingzhou came to the small generator and asked the workers to turn it on. He told them that he was testing the equipment, but in fact, he allowing the Quantum processor to absorb energy from the generator.

As long as it was energy that can be used, the Quantum Processor could quietly absorb it if He Xingzhou was within a certain range.

In He Xingzhou’s mind, the Quantum Processor spoke, “I can absorb one unit of energy per hour from this power generating facility.”

“Very good.” He Xingzhou instructed the staff here and said, “This small power generator will be left on at all times. I want to completely check the equipment! No matter how much power it consumes, do not turn it off. If it is necessary for construction, let me know in advance.”

“Okay!” Of course, the staff had no objections. This research institute was built for He Xingzhou, so he had the final say in what goes on.

After doing all this, He Xingzhou asked to go back and rest.

The residential logistics department had also arranged for him to live in a high-class neighborhood not far from his school. Most of the people living here were teachers and staff so the area was pretty safe and secured.

This also made it easier for He Xingzhou to travel between school, home, and the research facility.

Yes, He Xingzhou was still a student so he still needed to attend classes.

This was also what He Xingzhou’s teacher, Zhang Boyan, had specifically proposed. He believed that ambition alone was not enough, and one had to keep up with one’s abilities. Therefore, he had suggested to the organization that even if He Xingzhou participated in important projects, he should not neglect his studies.

He especially emphasized this on the phone, “Even if you saved the world, you must not neglect to your studies!”

When He Xingzhou got in the car, Ding Yue and Xu Zhilan had already changed into normal clothing. In order to better cooperate with He Xingzhou’s work, they to disguise themselves and blend in with society.

For example, Ding Yue disguised as He Xingzhou’s cousin, a personal fitness trainer.

Xu Zhilan was disguised as a young single woman employed at a media company.

Ding Yue was wearing oversized jeans and a wide short-sleeved shirt. The muscles on his body were particularly obvious, giving off a sense of oppression!

Xu Zhilan, on the other hand, had changed into a fashionable summer outfit. She wore a pure white sleeveless shirt with a cartoon pattern on it paired with light-colored straight pants. Her slender waist was actually exposed a little as a small Chanel bag was placed diagonally on her waist. She also had on a sparkling bracelet and earrings.

He Xingzhou noticed that she had also put on makeup. Her beauty was already at 80 points without makeup. After putting on makeup, her beauty had soared to more than 90 points!

He Xingzhou exclaimed, “Sister Xu, this look you have on makes you look like a goddess!”

“I am one!” Xu Zhilan said proudly. “Back then, when I was at the National Defense University of Science and Technology, the number of suitors I had could form a line across the sea!”

“Amazing!” He Xingzhou exclaimed. The National Defense University of Science and technology was also one of the top universities in the country. It was not a place that ordinary people could enter!

“You’re even more amazing!” Xu Zhilan said curiously, “I heard that you made a nuclear reactor at school? You were the one who discovered the Zerg monsters. I’m really curious, how did you do it?”

“Buddha told me to not talk about it,” He Xingzhou said with a smile.

“Acting mysterious huh” Xu Zhilan didn’t ask further, in case it involved something confidential.

“We’ll go straight back to the neighborhood. When we get there, we’ll live next door to your left and right. We’ll be on standby at all time.” Ding Yue stepped on the accelerator.

“No problem.” He Xingzhou had no objection to this.

Soon, they arrived at the neighborhood.

He Xingzhou’s house was fully furnished. He didn’t need to prepare anything else. Xu Zhilan and Ding Yue lived right next door to him. If anything happened, they would be able to support him at any time!

He Xingzhou took a warm bath and then laid lazily on his bed.

Too many things had happened in the past week. He felt very tired. However, he could not fall asleep no matter how much he laid on his bed.

Participating in project black tortoise and establishing the whistleblower research facility had also put him under a lot of pressure.

Since I can’t sleep, I might as well think about how to carry out the next step of my plan! He Xingzhou thought to himself.

To build the steel great wall…. building it directly isn’t the best choice.

The greatest strength of my steel great wall should not be limited to the defense of the reinforced steel and concrete. It should be equipped with different types of laser weapon, cannons, mecha weapons, and other high tech weapons. There should also be radars and surveillance systems installed in addition to transportation functions.

“Therefore, I need to make preparations before constructing the steel great wall. The first thing I need to do is to research the necessary technology first!”

“Quantum Processor!” He Xingzhou called out the Quantum Processor and looked at the technology tree on it.

“In order to build the steel great wall, I need to have a complete nationwide high-efficiency logistics system, communication network, control system, weapon system, energy system, and so on.”

“Sharpening the knife won’t interfere with the woodcutting process. I should learn to walk before I run. I’ll start with the basic work. It’s best if I can prove my abilities and get more resources from the higher-ups!”

He Xingzhou looked through the technology tree. “I need to build energy devices, energy storage devices, logistics control system, and control system…”

“Single technology research and development can also be done, but I may be able to assemble them and use technology to create things to attract the public’s attention, so as to prepare for the construction of the steel great wall in the future!”

“We can research a single technology at a time but it should be better if we develop many technologies together. We can can use these technological creations to get people’s attention and slowly build upon the steel great wall!

He Xingzhou felt that the first technology to be developed should be the technology in the logistics field.

“To build the steel great wall and resist the Zerg, we need a logistics network that covers the entire country. Our existing road traffic, rail traffic, water transport, and air transport are not advance enough!”

“Once the Zerg plague comes, it will be a huge shift of resources for people across the country! Not only must it be large-scale, but it must also be efficient!”

He Xingzhou had imagined that there should be a super high-speed train inside the steel great wall! A vacuum tube train was perfect of this. In theory, this train could travel at 20,000 kilometers per hour, which was 16 times faster than the speed of sound! In other words, if such a super high-speed train was developed, the transportation of people and materials inside the steel great wall could reach the southernmost end of China from the northernmost end within an hour!

“Unlocking the Super high-speed rail requires 100,000 units of energy?” When He Xingzhou looked at the unlocking conditions, he knew that there was no hope for the time being.

Right now, a small generator could only provide 24 units of energy per day. If he had to wait, wouldn’t it be more than 10 years later?

“Other than the super high speed train, there must be some other logistic technologies that can be improved upon. For example, road transportation can be reformed to pave the way for the research and development of the Super high-speed rail.” He Xingzhou found another technology that was more practical for the time being, and did not require many units of energy. It could be carried out immediately.
