Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 495: Project Officially Launched!

On the way back, Lin Xiaoyu took out her phone and skillfully opened Green Bubble, where she saw that the "Loving Family" group was having a lively chat.

The main topic of conversation was Lin Xiaoyu and Su Yan's engagement. Lin's parents were very active in the group chat. She also saw that her mother, Wang Aifang, posted several photos, which included the four-color gifts that Su Yan and his family had brought when they came.

The family members in the group praised her, saying that Xiaoyu had found a good home!
After browsing through some messages in the group, Lin Xiaoyu thought for a moment and then sent a message in the group: "Breaking news! Breaking news! Mao Mao has successfully signed with Jiahang Entertainment! Our family is about to have a big star!"

After the message was sent out and the group fell into a brief silence, various question marks were popped up, and the phone was bombarded with messages, with notification sounds ringing incessantly.

"Xiaoyu, are you telling the truth or not? Mao Mao got signed by Jiahang? What's the background of Jiahang?" Lin's father was the first to react, sending several surprised emojis.

"Didn't Mao Mao say he was going to participate in some talent show called 'The Coming One'? How come he was suddenly signed by someone? Is this entertainment company called Jiahang reliable?" Wang Wei's father also chimed in, as he knew something about his son's situation.

"Dad, Uncle, Jiahang Entertainment is very famous in the entertainment industry. Your favorite female star, Yang Mi, is one of the company's bosses. Do you think it's reliable?" Lin Xiaoyu, who was sitting in the back row, saw the message in the group and immediately explained the situation.

"My goodness! Mao Mao has really made something of herself! A big company like Jiahang Entertainment actually signed her. It seems they really recognize her talent!"

"Wait a minute~ How could a big company like Jiahang Entertainment know about Mao Mao, a newbie who hasn't even entered the entertainment industry yet? Could you have been scammed?" Lin Xiaoyu's second uncle, Lin Guohua, raised this question.

The Lin family is quite large and prosperous. Lin Xiaoyu's father alone has six members in his generation, three men and three women. Adding Lin Xiaoyu and her younger generation, each family has two or three members, making a total of about twenty or thirty people.

Following Lin Guohua's doubts, many others also expressed their curiosity, especially the younger generation, who have some understanding of the entertainment industry and naturally have some doubts about Wang Wei's signing of the contract.

If Wang Wei had a certain reputation and talent in the music industry or in talent shows, perhaps people would take the initiative to come to him. But he hasn't even debuted yet, and his talent hasn't been demonstrated. How could anyone possibly sign him?

After everyone discussed it, Lin's parents and Wang's father, who were initially very excited, began to doubt whether their nephew (son) had really been deceived!
Seeing the doubts in the group chat, Li Xiaoyu quickly looked at Wang Weijia, who was sitting in the back row. She found him quietly gazing out the window with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was looking forward to the future.

"Mao Mao~" Lin Xiaoyu called softly, but Wang Weijia did not respond at all. She called again, and Lin Xiaojia, who was sitting next to him, nudged him with her elbows.

"Ah~ Sister Xiaoyu, are you calling me?" Wang Weijia was startled and instantly came back to his senses, looking a little dazed.

Looking at her cousin's expression, Lin Xiaoyu curled her lips speechlessly, "The family group chat is practically in an uproar about you. Aren't you going to say a few words and take a picture of the contract you signed and post it in the group chat!"

Wang Weijia, belatedly realizing what was happening, immediately took out his phone and found that the family group chat already had 99+ messages. He quickly scrolled through the messages in the group.

After learning what had happened, Wang Wei's family didn't waste any time. They took out the contract that they had kept close to their body, snapped a couple of photos of it, and sent them directly to the group chat.

After seeing the photos, the doubts in the group disappeared instantly. Messages came one after another from all the relatives, and they weren't typed, but sent as voice messages, each at least twenty seconds long.

Instantly, the car was filled with various voices, all praising Wang Wei's family for their success, and some even started talking about how good they had been to Mao Mao in the past.

The idea was that if Wang Wei became a big star and made money, he could help them out, since everyone knows that celebrities make money very easily.

Mr. Wang immediately called, and as soon as the call connected, his excited voice rang out: "Mao Mao~ You really got signed by Jiahang? Tell Daddy, what happened?"

Wang Wei had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story, including how he was able to sign with Jiahang Company, all thanks to the help of his cousin's boyfriend's older brother.

Even the agreements in the signed contract were briefly outlined.
When Mr. Wang heard about the relationship on the other end of the phone, he was shocked. He never expected that his niece would find such a good boyfriend.

They had previously learned from the family group chat that the other party was just a rich second-generation heir with some money in his family, but now it seems that he is not a rich second-generation heir at all, but rather a member of a wealthy family!
"Mao Mao, you should thank your cousin and cousin-in-law, especially Mr. Su, for this. You must remember their kindness! Otherwise... you don't know how difficult your path will be!" Father Wang earnestly instructed. He could also see that Su Chen was no ordinary person. If you followed in his footsteps, you would definitely see a higher view.

"Dad, don't worry!" Despite Wang Wei's honest and simple appearance, he is actually very clear-headed and knows exactly what path he should take in the future. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to propose a ten-year contract. Of course, Sister Xiaoyu's suggestion also played a part.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Weijia noticed that there were several hundred more messages in the family group chat, as well as many private messages. Apart from a few close elders, most of them were from the younger generation.

After replying to a few messages, Wang Weijia put his phone away and sighed softly, "Sister Xiaoyu, I... I feel like today is a dream!"

"If I hadn't suddenly decided to go to the morning market to buy breakfast this morning, and happened to run into you all, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to sign with Jiahang..."

Lin Xiaoyu turned to the side and said with a smile, "What does this mean... it means you were born to be a star, little brother. Who knows, you might be a superstar in the future... uh... Superstar Wang!"

As soon as the name "Wang Juxing" was uttered, a burst of laughter erupted in the car. They still remembered the stage name Wang Weijia had given him when they first met at the teahouse.

……

Evening, night falls!
The lights in the Zhengdao Park came on, illuminating the entire park as if it were daytime.

In the conference room of the internal research base, there were five or six people sitting there. They were the aircraft experts that Professor Wu and Old Man Chen had recruited, as well as several people arranged by Old Master Xiao.

"Old Li, what's going on? Why did Old Wu suddenly call us to the conference room?" The speaker was Wen Zhanpeng, a top drone expert that Professor Wu had poached from Chengdu.

The "Old Li" he mentioned was Li Qiwen, a top expert from the capital. The two were both outstanding in their respective fields and were familiar with each other, so they were naturally quite casual in their conversation.

Apart from Wang Ming, who was the first to be assigned by his teacher, the remaining few are all well-known in the field of aircraft. They may not be the top, but they are capable of taking on major responsibilities.

"How should I know!" Li Qiwen rolled his eyes at Wen Zhanpeng, annoyed.

After receiving orders from higher-ups, he rushed over with several experts and technicians. They were still completely confused and couldn't understand why they had been assigned here, since there were no major projects here!
"Um... I think I should know a little bit!" Wang Ming said weakly. After all, everyone present was his senior, and there was even someone comparable to his teacher, Old Master Wang. So he naturally lacked confidence in his words.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned their scrutinizing gazes toward Wang Ming. A hint of curiosity flashed in Wang Qiwen's eyes as he asked, "If I remember correctly, you are Old Wang's student, right? You were the first among us to arrive. Tell me, what do you know?"

Just as Wang Ming was about to speak, the conference room door suddenly opened, and four people walked in. Leading them were Professor Wu and Old Man Chen, followed by Xiao Peng and... Chen Fei!
That's right, it's Chen Fei!
After they finished lunch, they returned to the hotel. After staying in the room for a while, Su Chen assigned him a very important task: to personally deliver all the data on the Baidi UAV to the Zhengdao Park.

This has led to the scene we see today!
"Sorry to keep you all waiting!" Professor Wu greeted everyone in the conference room with a smile.

"Old Wu, did you call us here because you have something important to announce?" Wen Zhanpeng immediately asked.

Professor Wu smiled and nodded. "Everyone here is an expert in scientific research, so I don't need to go into the details of the confidentiality measures, right? Now, everyone should let their families know they are safe. For the next few months, we may be temporarily out of contact with the outside world to avoid any misunderstandings!" Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Professor Wu thoughtfully. They all had extensive experience in this area and didn't press for details. Instead, they quickly picked up their phones and sent a message or made a phone call to their families to let them know.

After they finished their work, Xiao Peng found a box from somewhere and collected the mobile phones of the experts one by one. He also specifically asked them to make sure they didn't have any other mobile phones or electronic devices on them.

"Old Wu, now you should talk!" After the phones were taken away, Wen Zhanpeng asked again.

Professor Wu smiled and calmly said, "Haste makes waste, so let's not rush things!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Chen took out several confidentiality agreements from his briefcase and handed one to everyone.

The group took the document and flipped through it briefly, assuming it was at the same level of confidentiality as the projects they had participated in before. However, when they saw that it was classified as "Special Grade," everyone present was stunned. They had never participated in projects of this level of confidentiality more than a few times.

As for Wang Ming, he had never participated in it. The closest he ever was in the knock engine project, which was launched shortly after he left Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, but he was unaware of it.

For a moment, everyone looked at Professor Wu and his group with a more inquisitive gaze, wanting to know what kind of project could warrant such a high level of secrecy!

With this curiosity in mind, everyone quickly signed their names, handed the confidentiality agreement to Old Man Chen, and then looked at Professor Wu, indicating that he should now tell them what was going on!

Professor Wu stood at the head of the conference table, his gaze sweeping over everyone before he slowly announced, "I hereby formally declare: Project Baidi is officially launched!"

"White Emperor?" Upon hearing this name, Wen Zhanpeng, Li Qiwen, and the others exchanged glances, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes. The name sounded both unfamiliar and somewhat mysterious, and they seemed to have never heard of a similar project code name in the aviation field.

Only Wang Ming's breathing became rapid. Although he didn't know the specific flight data of Baidi, he had seen photos of Baidi drones and knew that Baidi was no ordinary drone.

Wen Zhanpeng couldn't help but ask directly, "Old Wu, what exactly is this Baidi project? Fighter jets? Bombers? Or...?"

Professor Wu smiled mysteriously, not responding to Wen Zhanpeng's question, but turning to Chen Fei beside him: "The rest is up to you!"

Chen Fei nodded, took out an encrypted USB drive from the lining, and inserted it into the conference room's projection equipment. As he operated it, a document cover labeled with the words "White Emperor Drone" slowly appeared on the big screen!
"Distinguished experts, before presenting the specific data, I would like to ask you to watch a video first!" Chen Fei said, opening a video stored on the USB drive.

In the video, a futuristic, pure white drone is seen gliding on the runway. Its appearance is completely different from traditional drones, with a streamlined body and unique wing design that made the experts present sit up straight involuntarily.

“This is…” Li Qiwen narrowed his eyes. His professional intuition told him that this aircraft was definitely not simple and might very well break their existing understanding.

In the video, the white drone suddenly accelerates and takes off in a very short distance. What's even more shocking is that it climbs at an almost vertical angle at high speed, completely violating the aerodynamic principles of traditional aircraft.

"Vertical takeoff and landing? This maneuverability... how powerful an engine must it be to drive it!" Wen Zhanpeng suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the screen, not missing a single detail.

What followed caused an uproar in the conference room—the drone performed a variety of incredibly difficult maneuvers in the air: instantaneous acceleration, sudden stops, 90-degree right-angle turns, and even super-maneuverable maneuvers similar to the Cobra Drive.

"This is impossible!" Wen Zhanpeng, a top expert in drones, immediately exclaimed, "How could a drone possibly perform such super-maneuverable maneuvers as a fighter jet? This is simply a violation of the laws of physics!"

At the end of the video, the drone soared into the sky at an astonishing speed, eventually breaking through the clouds. The image finally settled on a set of data: the maximum speed was estimated at Mach 16-20, the altitude could reach 100 kilometers, and the combat radius exceeded 5,000 kilometers…

Upon seeing these figures, the conference room fell completely silent. Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak. If these performance metrics were to be revealed, people would think it was a pipe dream, something completely impossible to achieve!
Li Qiwen was the first to come to his senses, his voice trembling slightly: "This...can we really achieve the data in this video? Are you sure it's not special effects?"

Wen Zhanpeng stared intently at Chen Fei. He understood that since Professor Wu had brought them all here, he must have the relevant technology. But seeing these data, he, like Li Qiwen, felt as if he were dreaming, as if it were unreal.

Chen Fei nodded solemnly: "Absolutely true! This drone, codenamed White Emperor, uses a revolutionary new power system! The reason for inviting all the experts here is to form a research and development team to turn this design into a reality!"

As Chen Fei spoke, he opened the information on the screen. Looking at the information about aerodynamic design, power system, materials, etc., everyone's breathing became rapid.

They were all experts in the aviation field. After glancing at some of the information and reviewing it in their minds, they found that there were no problems and were even more certain of the authenticity of the information.

Wen Zhanpeng suddenly realized something, turned to Wang Ming and asked, "Kid Wang, did you already know this information before?"

Just as Wang Ming was about to reveal some inside information, he was interrupted by Professor Wu and his group who suddenly walked in!

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming gave a wry smile: "Old Wen, you overestimate me. I've only seen some photos and videos. If I knew the data of the Baidi drone, would I still be so calm?"

Wen Zhanpeng nodded. Indeed... even if Wang Ming knew that Bai Di's data was so explosive, how could he possibly calm down? He would probably have already devoted himself to the research.

Professor Wu then interjected, "Everyone here is an expert in their respective field. I hope we can all work together to complete this task!"

"Next, we will divide you into several groups based on your areas of expertise, each responsible for the technology in their respective fields! I hope everyone can complete the prototype manufacturing within two months!"

Upon hearing this, the experts present were all in high spirits and full of enthusiasm.

If the White Emperor drone shown in the video is actually manufactured and reaches its corresponding specifications, then... the experts involved in the research will be recorded in the history of aviation.

"Old Wu, let's get started! We'll arrange the preliminary work tonight and officially begin the research tomorrow!" Li Qiwen immediately stood up excitedly and said.

“Yes, that’s what I think too! Now that I’ve seen the data on the White Emperor, how can I possibly sleep?” Wen Zhanpeng stood up and echoed.

Upon seeing this, Professor Wu immediately announced that Li Qiwen would be the overall person in charge of the project, Wen Zhanpeng as the deputy person in charge, and the others as the heads of their respective groups. As for the data on the USB drive, it would be divided into several parts and given to the heads of each group. They were forbidden from inquiring about each other's information!

After explaining the relevant matters, Professor Wu distributed the technical materials he had prepared in advance to everyone, and assigned the corresponding research institutes and security personnel.

Li Qiwen and the others were all experienced and knew about the relevant confidentiality system. They didn't say much about Professor Wu's arrangements, and each of them took their materials and headed to the assigned research institute.

They also need to prepare their respective team members before they can quickly get started on the research.

After the experts left the conference room accompanied by guards, Chen Fei also took his leave, as he needed to rush back to Qiqihar that very night to report back. (End of Chapter)
