The mother star secretly transformed itself from us

Chapter 2525 Carrot and Stick

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Cang dragged Lao Wang along as they tiptoed out of the villa window. Lao Wang was still recovering from his night of heavy drinking and gambling yesterday, and had spent half the night sleeping on the floor. His whole body ached, and he looked utterly dejected. "Dad! What the hell are you doing this morning?! I'm not going! Whoever wants to go can go!"

Li Cang: "Academy of Sciences!"

"You son of a bitch. Never mind," Old Wang grinned, "You should at least take Big Pear and the others with you, right?"

Li Cang thought for a moment and said, "Then just call Wenwen. She'll be yelling when Mom wakes up after we've all left. Let's try to avoid getting scolded!"

"So you actually knew that yourself? You son of a bitch, aren't you surprisingly perceptive?!"

Huo Wen, on the other hand, looked quite energetic, showing none of the detached feeling one gets from a hangover: "So, are we sneaking out to play?"

"I have something to do at the Academy of Sciences." Li Cang had already opened the driver's side door when he thought about it and kicked Old Wang right in: "You drive!"

When picking up and dropping off people like Li Wen and Shuang Xi, who are generally considered "slackers" at the base, they usually drive, prioritizing comfort. Given their condition, it would be impolite and immoral for them to maintain an ethereal, pretentious demeanor in this kind of weather, riding alongside roughnecks like Lord Magician and Old Wang, with Gou Kun's head frozen and roasted.

Old Wang cursed and stomped his foot on the floor: "Damn it, you're going to cause trouble, Comrade Wenwen, are you willing to be an accomplice?"

"Yes, yes, I'm willing!"

Huo Wen's eyes lit up and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice, which completely dumbfounded Old Wang. What the hell is she doing? What has she done to this good, honest girl? What has she done to her? What a beast!
Teacher Cang expressed his heartfelt satisfaction and vigorously rubbed Huo Wen's little head. Huo Wen beamed with joy, her head covered in a mess of short hair, her eyes full of life and spirit.

Old Wang: "emmm"

After many years, father and son have become brothers. Good, good, now his mother and father are superfluous.

Upon arriving at the Academy of Sciences, the gate was already open in the distance. Master Wang held up a box of the same cigars as Lao Su, and the gatekeeper Lao Xu tacitly accepted it. He happily waved to the three of them, then quickly took a picture and went to brag about it in the group chat.

Saying goodbye to Lao Xu, and welcoming Xiao Xu.

The Academy of Sciences' welcoming and sending-off procedures were extremely meticulous. Xu, who had spent the entire night in the lab, never dreamed that he would actually see these two so early in the morning. He rushed up with huge dark circles under his eyes, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time, just repeatedly muttering, "Holy crap, how did you guys get here? How did you get here? And Xiao Huo too!"

XCMG.

Huo Wen peeked out from behind Li's arm, nodding with a stiff, serious expression.

"Don't give me that crap, I haven't had breakfast and I'm in a terrible mood!"

Yes! Yes, yes, yes!

A steamed bun rolled with meat was stuffed straight into Old Wang's hand.

Old Wang looked down at the leg of some unknown animal, which was about half the length of his arm and stuffed with a whole piece of meat roasted using the Texas-style grilling method until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He was as if he had been silenced on the spot. "Is your Academy of Sciences some kind of wilderness survival project team? Are you all eating a bucket of rice and ten pounds of meat in one meal? Besides, isn't it a bit too hardcore for the cafeteria to have this kind of thing so early in the morning?"
Li Cang casually grabbed one, broke it in half, and handed it to Huo Wen, then took a big bite himself: "To the test site for the solidification technology of the infinite space jump channel!" "Did you all hear that?" Xu Gong's eyes were shining brightly, even his lenses seemed to be emitting a dazzling light. He waved the steamed bun and started urging everyone on: "Prepare the vehicles! Bring all the production materials! Damn it, get moving! If you miss this auspicious day, I'll soak you all in the waste liquid pool to compost! Go go go!"

There was chaos everywhere.

As a combat unit, XCMG's small frame might not even be enough to fill the teeth of the vicious dog of the gatekeeper, Uncle Xu. However, as an advanced productive force, XCMG's power is unlimited. "I am the Academy of Sciences." Apart from those old men in the Academy who need to be carried up to meetings, even Bei Zhikang might have his access rights revoked and his access card removed overnight just because he stepped into the laboratory with his right foot first.

Despite the high risk of the Academy's testing grounds, they were still placed near the Floating Island Chain. In short, they could not leave the range of the national protection formation, otherwise the safety of these advanced productive forces could not be guaranteed.

"Minimize everything to the minimum. We need to create a visual indefinite space that just reaches the critical point of instantaneous existence!"

"Strictly avoid similar accidents!"

"What the hell are you standing there for? Can't you move the equipment? If you can't move it, then go and sweep every single speck of dust off the test site!"

"What? What do you mean you can't find the Stasi adjutant? You're telling me this so I'll call the police for you? Get out of here!! And you there! I'm asking you when Miss An'er is arriving!"

After a series of impassioned pronouncements, the tyrant of the Academy of Sciences unfurled a massive blueprint before Li Cang, his facial expression seamlessly shifting: "Professor Cang, take a look. I've been wanting to tell you about this for a while now. This is the original manuscript given to us by the Stasi adjutant. The Third Reich believes that the American Confederation either improved or interpreted it during this stage, or rather, during this stage—that is, the origin of their Star Torch Anchor technology. As for the specific principles, we have no clue about them yet."

"Can you understand? It's not that the research has stalled, but that we're completely clueless. We can't even use these limited examples to make generalizations or imitate others, or even the simplest deductions. This is obviously extremely abnormal!"

"Given the Americas' nature, we can assume the worst about them. I personally believe they wouldn't hesitate to use the most brutal methods to prevent anyone from approaching Starlight Technology, for example..."

"Tomoko!"

"A technological monopoly at the level of a prayer, fundamentally isolating both the mind and the body. Look at these two branch paragraphs I'm pointing to; the original manuscript clearly shows very obvious breaks and even discontinuities!"

Li Cang didn't understand the technology, but the Mage knew the terminology: "Wait, you mean that before the Third Reich split, they already possessed this technology, or at least had a rudimentary form of it, but the American Confederation somehow managed to steal it and short-sell it, to the point that even the Third Reich and they themselves forgot about it?"

"Yes!"

Why not take them all?

"Maybe it's impossible?"

"If the real intention is to lock down the technological ceiling and create barriers, then there is little point in discussing this matter further. The alienation catalog of the small cryptocurrencies is a ready example that we cannot bypass, at least not at this stage."

"That"

"But what if I said that I might not really need a directional torch as an anchor point?"

"Clam?"
