Chu River had no idea about this kind of bitterness; at the moment, he was in a good mood:
"Alright, alright, go back and do it... just need to load the program and conduct some experiments, and it will be fine soon."
Both efforts involve restoring something from memory, but it must be said that having a solid foundation and surpassing normal people’s abilities allows one to replicate one’s past work so effortlessly.
If only Qin Manman had worked a bit harder in her previous life, with such a good platform, such a good teacher, and such a good experimental environment... Who’s to say she wouldn’t have achieved groundbreaking results on her own!
But speaking of Qin Manman...
Chu River looked at Qin Yuze, who was silently following beside him: "What’s the date today?"
Qin Yuze answered properly:
—Well, isn’t that a coincidence!
Chu River recalled that schedule document and laughed: "I won’t be involved in the mass production of the bulletproof vests. You guys handle it yourself; anyway, it’s already handed over to the state—A future research institute is expected to publish a new paper in the next couple of days, also about bulletproof vests..."
"Is there another breakthrough?"
Qin Yuze looked excited.
However, Chu River just snorted: "What I mean is, you don’t need to worry about that foreign journal paper—"
Before he finished speaking, the old scientist beside them was furious: "Who are these people?! They have no sense of confidentiality at all—Is such a thing just casually published in foreign journals? We obviously have our own internal military publications!"
It’s simply absurd, way too much!
Scientists these days have no sense of ethics!
Qin Yuze and the old scientist looked at each other, not knowing whether to be angry or anticipate.
Chu River had already opened his phone and pulled up the electronic document, smiling with satisfaction—
"The performance isn’t too outstanding, better than before, but far worse than what we just saw."
Qin Yuze instantly lost interest—after having a feast, who would care for buns!
The old scientist was still angry: "Too much..."
Chu River also consoled him symbolically:
"It’s okay, don’t mind him; with such lousy performance, he can collaborate with whoever he wants."
Qin Yuze frowned—Doing business with just anyone?
That definitely won’t do.
Science without borders, in a way, is just an empty slogan used by those in power to deceive.
If science truly had no borders, why did the father of China’s two bombs endure hardships to return to the country back then?
His expression was so clear, even without speaking, one could see his thoughts.
Chu River recalled Little Yellow’s words, filled with ill intent:
"No need to care, regardless of which foreign power wants to buy, just make a show of stopping them—that bulletproof vest is an old manuscript from Chang Geng, originally discarded, terrible performance, and high cost—let them buy it abroad, spend money to make it, then be continuously outmatched by us, isn’t that satisfying?"
First, let the others waste effort and money fighting internally, then do a reversal at the right time—once you’ve set the atmosphere, showcase your own strength, and conveniently shift public focus, develop quietly...
Honestly, just thinking about it feels great.
Qin Yuze coughed lightly, trying hard to maintain a serious expression:
"I will report truthfully to the higher-ups." Fresh chapters posted on novel⚑fire.net
Whether it’s satisfying or not... that’s not how things should be handled. They, Zheng Country, a grand nation, magnanimous to the world, always forgiving and generous, there’s no need to keep a small research secret from friendly nations!
Such a great opportunity, giving it up once or twice isn’t a big deal.
But there is another important issue.
—It begs the question, how could Mr. Chang Geng’s manuscript have been overlooked? How was it stolen in the first place?
Meanwhile, Qin Manman was sitting around the negotiation table with the others. After a few days of battle, they finally tore down a technology-sharing contract with the legal team.
Thinking about the global demand, the higher the sales, the more money she makes!
She couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth—tonight, the news should report their collaboration, shouldn’t it?
How will those who left the research institute feel regret beyond measure?
Her father would also feel relieved and no longer be hung up on the mere two hundred million!
Born with talent, wealth scattered will also return!!!
Seeing the contract completed, Qin Manman proudly said: "With nothing else to do, let me check today’s news."
Another newly appointed assistant quickly turned on the screen.
And in the center of the screen, the upright host was speaking with restrained excitement: "Mr. Zhu Changheng from the emerging research institute has successfully developed a new quick-drying fabric, and has reached an acquisition agreement with the Jinsu Group on November 18th, with the patent priced at 80 million..."
