Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"Just a moment please……"

While browsing through ancient texts, Jiang Chuan made a significant discovery—this kind of time weapon has existed on Earth since ancient times.

Prior to this, the Gendaya civilization had remained dormant. However, recent development activities in specific areas unexpectedly triggered a turning point.

"I remember that the Gendaya civilization did not originally inhabit the deep sea; they lived peacefully on land. But do you also recall the period in the last century when there were frequent marine nuclear tests?"

This speculation shocked Xu Jiajia.

She did write academic papers on underwater nuclear testing, but at the time, they did not touch upon any content related to the Gendaya civilization.

At the time, they only believed that such experiments might lead to mutations in marine life, or even give rise to legendary sea monsters. However, over the years, none of these speculations have come true, so the paper remains only a theoretical work.

But if an underwater civilization truly exists, the consequences of activating a time machine would be unimaginable.

However, this precisely explains why human timelines become disordered, and why various strange effects continue to intensify.

"We don't have many options left. The most urgent task is to find out the root cause of the incident. Besides, didn't our children mention the concept of several major civilizations before?"

"Is all the information the child provided true?"

The truth is not yet fully known, as the core equipment is still undergoing upgrades and modifications.

The final outcome of the renovation remains to be seen, as it will require rigorous safety testing after completion.

At this moment, Chen Tianfei is fully utilizing his talents to advance the project, while Tony has returned to Atlantis.

Everything was proceeding smoothly, but Jiang Chuan's discovery of records about time weapons in the library aroused his suspicions.

"Unfortunately, these classic texts have limited reference value. I consulted relevant experts, and they all said that these contents only need to be skimmed."

"Just browsing?"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but chuckle.

If you don't want the public to study these books in depth, why keep them in libraries? Are they just for people to browse at will?
He was convinced that there must be professional institutions conducting relevant research, but the world had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

This is precisely the biggest dilemma at present. If these problems continue to weigh on people's minds, the situation will become increasingly critical.

"Let's wait and see for now."

Jiang Chuan understood that since there were relevant records, it might not be appropriate to conduct research directly, but at least he should consult with his superiors.

"Whatever you do, don't ask for permission."

Xu Jiajia tried to dissuade her with great concern.

"Do you remember the consequences of our last request for instructions? They directly and explicitly forbade us from continuing the research. Isn't that lesson profound enough?"

That experience left Jiang Chuan feeling utterly helpless.

At that time, the entire company was almost at a standstill. With this in mind, they could only decide to continue their research in secret.

"My idea is not to alarm the outside world. Don't we have the wise Elder Xu by our side? Why not ask him to guide us?"

Old Xu was indeed very familiar with these secrets. Upon hearing about this after returning home, he immediately shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"You're only realizing it now?"

"Could time weapons have existed for a long time?"

"Of course it exists, but it's top secret. However, our superiors have made it clear that they will no longer keep any secrets from you. What are your plans now? If you decide to conduct research, we can report directly to our superiors."

Mr. Xu still had some concerns.

“I refuse to report.”

Jiang Chuan's attitude was firm. "I plan to conduct the research privately. Although we maintain contact with the scientific community, I believe we can achieve a breakthrough through our own efforts. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to present the results when the country needs them?"

Jiang Chuan's concerns mainly stemmed from the fear that his superiors would halt the research.

Because he has not yet grasped the overall strategic layout at the national level.

"Let's proceed with the research discreetly and prepare contingency plans. If problems do arise, at least we'll have a solution."

"Ugh……"

Although these ideas still seem absurd, everyone is keenly aware of the hidden dangers behind them.

"In any case, if we can change the current situation, our mission will be accomplished, won't it?"

The following morning, Jiang Chuan arrived at the company headquarters. The conference room was packed; a strategic meeting concerning future development was about to begin.

"First of all, Lao Zhao, there shouldn't be any problems with the business, right?"

"Chairman, rest assured, business operations remain rock solid. If any issues arise, I will report to you immediately. But why are you asking this so suddenly? Are you perhaps planning to allocate funds for new research?"

Old Zhao couldn't help but worry. Although the company had ample funds, with Jiang Chuan's investment style, it would eventually run out of money.

"Don't worry, I'm only conducting basic research and won't be using operating funds. I plan to have Chen Tianfei's team launch a new project."

Chen Tianfei was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Is the center still involved in the restoration project?"

"Don't you think participating in the restoration has limited value? The key point is that the center has never paid for research and development, hasn't it?"

Chen Tianfei smiled knowingly; that was indeed the case. His main reason for being willing to conduct the research was his concern that the consciousness connection might cause further harm to Jiang Tianfeng.

"Now there is a more pressing task. Since we are all board members, I will speak frankly: the next crisis is very likely to erupt at sea. Therefore, I request that Chen Tianfei immediately assemble a special task force to study prehistoric maritime civilizations."

"What?"

Chen Tianfei was greatly shocked.

This is a completely unfamiliar research field.

He had always focused on applied scientific research, so his sudden shift to archaeology was quite unexpected.

"Brother, you might not be aware of how things have developed."

Chen Fei interjected at the opportune moment.

"Since the crisis may have originated from the ocean, it must be related to prehistoric humans. The purpose of having you conduct this research is to determine the origins of these civilizations and why the civilizations of Atlantis and Gendaya suddenly vanished into the deep sea."

This explanation made Chen Tianfei realize that the situation was no small matter.

More importantly, their existing diving equipment is sufficient to dive into extremely deep waters.

The most urgent task is to upgrade these devices in all aspects.

"Are we going to develop submarines? If so, do we have enough funds?"

"No submarine is needed. The company's existing protective suits can be used after modification. Unless researching new materials incurs costs, what other areas do you see require investment?"

This reminder made everyone realize that the situation was more serious than expected. No one could predict the full impact of the impending crisis.

"We have no way out. I hope everyone will work together to meet any challenges that may arise."

Old Zhao smiled understandingly. The funds needed to be in place as long as the chairman made the decision, but he also knew the company was currently doing well. (End of Chapter)
