Crossing through time 04, I blew up the American aircraft carrier.

In fact, David had no intention of killing Dr. Booth; he just wanted to scare him and make him give up on open source.

They set fire to Dr. Booth's house, but unfortunately, they didn't know why Dr. Booth's daughter, who should have been at school, was still at home. Even if Qin Yuan hadn't gone to rescue her, Julia would have stayed until the fire truck arrived.

Regardless, after experiencing two unexpected events in one day, Dr. Booth concluded that the Davidians really wanted to kill him.

only……

This is, after all, where he lives and works. If he leaves here for the desolate Middle East, can he adapt?

"Dad, I believe in Prince Charming, he was sent by God..."

At some point, Julia appeared standing to the side, while Said stood nearby as a loyal bodyguard.

Dr. Booth's heart melted when he looked at his daughter.

Hardship doesn't matter! As long as my daughter can grow up safely, that's all that matters!

Because he was a workaholic, Dr. Bourges' romantic French wife couldn't stand him and divorced him a few years ago. His daughter resolutely chose to stay with him because... she felt that her father was lonely and pitiful.

Dr. Booth shed tears for the first time then! He vowed to make his daughter happy!

For my daughter's safety, I could go to the Middle East, but...

"Rest assured, we will not change your beliefs. You can eat as much German specialty as you like—pork sausages and pork knuckles. We will fully support your development. If you want to open-source, we will release the technology to the world!"

Dr. Booth took a deep breath, no longer hesitating: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Okay, please give us a list of the parts and equipment you need, and we will purchase them all from the market as soon as possible. By the way, we would also like you to help integrate the camera and WiFi into the drone."

In this era, quadcopters have only just entered the market as toys. It's already good enough if they can fly normally. They haven't been used as aerial photography tools yet, and wireless transmission functions haven't been integrated into them.

In addition to the purchase list he provided, Qin Yuan also had some other items he could think of that he needed to buy as well.

Money, once earned, is meant to be spent.

"Okay, no problem."

Integrating these features would make quadcopters more marketable, which aligns with Dr. Booth's goals.

Berlin Marriott Hotel.

Schwartz stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the sunset.

Bang! The door outside opened.

"How about that? Dr. Booth must be terrified, right? Hmph, he'll be stuck with us if he offends us! His only option is to cooperate with us!"

"No, Dr. Booth and his daughter have disappeared!"

"What? Disappeared? Where did they go?"

"I don't know, we're still investigating."

"It's okay, no matter where he is, Mossad can find him, and then... give him another surprise!" Schwartz was full of confidence at this moment.

One day, two days, three days...

Dr. Booth and his daughter seemed to have vanished from the entire Western world!

North Leaf Gate.

Three-wheeled motorcycles speed through the towering mountains.

The motorcycles behind were transporting various supplies and equipment, and the one at the front had three people sitting in the cargo bed.

"Dr. Booth, for now, we'll have to make do with living in the mountains. But don't worry, in a few years, our Houthi forces will take over the major cities, and we'll build research institutes for you there!"

"It's okay, this mountain area is nice too. It's far from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it helps me calm down."

Looking at the vast mountains, Dr. Booth truly loved them from the bottom of his heart; he was indeed tired of life in the big city!

Malan Town.

Qin Yuan was somewhat surprised to see a group of people standing there waiting in the distance.

After successfully persuading Dr. Booth, Qin Yuan sent back a message claiming that he had been guided by his friend Li Tuo to successfully recruit a military industry PhD from Germany.

But... he didn't expect that Abdul-Houthi would come to greet him personally.

The motorcycle stopped, and the guy greeted him with a smile, even helping Dr. Booth off the motorcycle.

"Dr. Booth, welcome to North Yemen! I am Abdul-Houthi, the leader of the Houthi rebels. From now on, we are all one family!"

Qin Yuan was deeply impressed. This guy was indeed farsighted to be able to build such a huge empire!

The Houthi rebels need talented people to grow!

Those who can fight are talented, and those who can do technology are even more talented, and the latter is more important. Yemen is full of illiterate people, so where can we find PhDs to do technology?

After Abdul-Housse finished speaking, the middle-aged man next to him began to translate in broken English!

Even the translator was prepared in advance!

"Yes, my daughter and I thank you for everything you've provided."

Abdul-Housse then helped Julia down, saying, "Little girl, this will be your home from now on!"

"Yes, wherever Hassan is, that's my home. I'll marry him when I turn eighteen!"

Abdul-Housse beamed, "It won't be that long. Here, fourteen-year-olds can get married. I'll personally throw you a grand wedding!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Qin Yuan was dumbfounded. When did I agree to that?

In novels, if you fall for someone, you'll be willing to give yourself to them; if you don't, you'll be their slave in the next life.

No, no, the key point is that a fourteen-year-old bride is simply a tragedy!

"Your Excellency Abdul, is your accommodation ready?" Qin Yuan changed the subject.

"The best earthen building here has been cleared out to accommodate two guests. For safety reasons, the research institute is located in a cave, where hydroelectric power generation equipment was recently installed. We will absolutely not let our guests suffer any inconvenience!"

A warm feeling welled up in Dr. Booth's heart: "Thank you! Please take my daughter to my lodgings; I'll go check out the cave."

"it is good."

Behind the mountain, the babbling sound of the stream has disappeared. The river is blocked by the dam, turning into a large pool of water that rushes towards the water turbine, providing a continuous supply of electricity.

At the entrance of the cave, a large air conditioner outdoor unit was spinning rapidly, which made Qin Yuan's eyes widen. Why was it moving so fast?

On the stone wall next to it, a row of Arabic tadpole-shaped characters is carved out.

The Houthis' first military industrial base.

Even when Lang Tuo backed down in later generations, the Houthis remained tough, relying on their powerful military production capacity!

In mountain caves, they can perform rituals even in snail shells. Not to mention small drones, they can assemble hypersonic missiles!

Component sourcing...

I found it in the desert!

"There's air conditioning here?" Dr. Booth asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Booth, the cave is a bit damp, which is not good for your health. We are doing our best to provide you with the best working environment and we cannot let you suffer."

Abdul-Housse said with a smile, "This is Hamid, who is in charge of the entire base."

Hamid was originally leading troops in battle, but after Hassan distinguished himself, he stepped down to the second line and took charge of this work.

Hamid enthusiastically said, "Dr. Booth, if you need anything in the future, just tell me. We will fully support your research and development work. Also, we have found more than 20 young men who have graduated from high school to assist you. We hope they can be of help."

Yemen has basic education: six years of primary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of senior high school, which is the international standard. However, even in big cities, senior high school education is not necessarily widespread, and in remote mountain villages, there are not many people with only primary school education!

The Houthi rebels must have screened everyone to find these twenty-odd people!

I still have to give Abdul-Housse a thumbs up! That kid has good taste!

Qin Yuan followed him into the cave, and it was indeed very cool. The electric lights overhead were bright, just like daytime!

Several large tables were set up in the center, serving as research and development workstations. About twenty young men were reading books there; the title of the book was... Fundamentals of Digital Circuits.

"Great, great! Bring the equipment, and I can get back to work right now! I'll prioritize integrating the cameras and WiFi! These people will help me during the day, and I'll teach them in the evenings!"

No autopilot? No problem! Just use it as a model airplane for now! As long as it can be remotely controlled to fly, that's fine!

"Thank you, Dr. Booth. Now, please continue with your work. We won't disturb you any longer."
