The system handed me over to the state.

In other words... as Theresa looked at the silent Mei, would there be... a second Herrscher of Thunder?

"Return to St. Freya Academy immediately! I have to tell Grandpa about this; I can't keep it a secret any longer... Also, Kiana, Mei, Bronya..."

"Are you going to enroll at St. Freya Academy? We're an academy that specializes in training Valkyries."

Chapter 8: Urgent Needs

"Oh... Interesting, interesting. The Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of Reason from the future. I never expected such a person to join our World Serpent!"

"And you even came to me on your own initiative, that's truly amazing."

Bronya toyed with the dagger in her hand, her emotionless eyes fixed on the gray snake before her. "Has Kevin not returned yet?"

The gray snake was stunned. "It seems you know a lot, Herrscher of Reason from the future."

"I know far more than I imagined, but there are still some things I don't know. After all, history can't record every single thing clearly."

Bronya paused. "I have only one purpose in joining the World Serpent: to enter the Land of the Dead. As for what the rest of you want to do, or what you want to do to me, I don't care or care."

Gray Serpent rubbed his chin, scrutinizing Bronya with interest before finally nodding. "Alright! No problem. I'll take you to the World Serpent's headquarters. So..."

"No, tell me the location of the World Serpent headquarters, and I'll find it myself."

Bronya had no desire to stay here any longer; she just wanted to get back immediately because the two random chests she opened after completing her mission contained some incredible items, and she needed to return as soon as possible.

Come to think of it, I've unknowingly started to put myself in the position of thinking about the country. Perhaps this is a change in mindset.

There is nothing wrong with working for the country and striving for the people; in fact, it can make you feel proud and excited because the country and the people become better because of you.

Perhaps this is why there have always been people willing to sacrifice themselves for the country and the people.

Seeing Bronya suddenly lost in her memories, a blush appeared on her usually expressionless face, accompanied by a faint smile. Gray Serpent chuckled, "Oh, it seems you've thought of something beautiful."

"Yes, it's a very beautiful thing, fighting for a better world, isn't it?"

"Hehe... That's right, we fight for a better world. We all fight for the better world in our hearts. Alright, I've already told the Lord. The Lord is very interested in you. This is the address of our headquarters, provided that you can get there yourself."

Bronya took the note, looked at the address, nodded without any change in expression, left a phone number, and then left.

Grey Serpent watched Bronya's departing figure. "Interesting...interesting. The future Herrscher of Reason. Does this mean that what Archbishop Otto pursued is truly achievable?"

.........

"Commander! You're back!"

Military commander Lao Yu, who was resting in the lounge with his eyes half-closed, nodded and looked sleepy. Suddenly, Lin Yuxin pushed open the door and shouted into the room. Lao Yu was startled and his sleepiness vanished. Lin Yuxin was stunned for a moment, then said with an awkward smile, "I'm sorry, commander... but Bronya is back and said she hopes to see you immediately."

Old Yu rubbed his eyes. "They're back? Who's back?"

"Bronya, are you... still half asleep?"

Lin Yuxin waved her hand in front of Lao Yu with some confusion. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lao Yu suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "You're back?!"

"Yes, I'm back, and I hope to see you right away."

Old Yu rubbed his eyes again. "Let's go! We need to see her right now!"

So Lin Yuxin and Lao Yu hurriedly ran to the outside of the laboratory that was used for transportation. Bronya had just returned and was undergoing a full scan and disinfection by the medical team, because the doctors were not sure if the germs from the other world were harmless in their world.

A few minutes later, Bronya stood in front of the two of them. She stood still and raised her hand in a somewhat awkward military salute. Old Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's good that you're back. How was your trip to the other world? Was it smooth?"

"Everything is going well, sir."

"That's good, that's good. So...did you...get...what...that...better..."

Old Yu didn't know how to start, so he tried several words but still couldn't get the words out. His expression gradually changed from anticipation to embarrassment. Lin Yuxin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Bronya, does the commander mean you didn't get any rewards this time?"

"Yes, yes, did you get anything good?"

Bronya nodded. "Yes, Chief, but I request that several weapons design experts be invited to observe together. All I have are design drawings, not finished products or parts. They need to be analyzed by the experts before they can be manufactured. Also... materials are a big problem."

Although the abilities of the Herrscher of Reason can be constructed using blueprints, the energy used inside these constructed weapons is Honkai energy, which has no value for research or reference.

"Yes, yes! Then you go and rest first, I'll go and apply to the higher-ups right away!"

After saying that, Lao Yu ran off. Bronya blinked in confusion, "Sister Yuxin, why... does the commander seem a little... too excited?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yuxin sighed, "You'll find out when the meeting starts."

.........

A day later at noon, Bronya felt a sense of pressure in the conference room. Besides Lao Yu, the other people sitting there were people she never dared to even think about: the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the country's top chief weapons and equipment designer, and all sorts of top talents gathered there.

She was just a humble undergraduate graduate...

"Alright, Comrade Bronya, before this meeting begins, there's something we want you to know, the picture above."

Two images were projected on the projector at the front of the conference room, and Bronya froze upon seeing them... a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. This...this is...

Old Yu, holding the documents, said, "Let me introduce you to this. This is the latest air superiority fighter that the United States and Japan publicly announced a few weeks ago. It is called the Apollo fighter and the Tengu mecha."

"The Apollo fighter jet's flight speed is far greater than that of any current Air Force fighter jet, and its high-speed cannons can tear any aircraft apart instantly."

"The Tengu mech is the latest air superiority fighter developed by Japan. Although its flight speed is not as fast as the Apollo fighter, it can transform instantly and land on the ground, becoming a vehicle similar to an infantry fighting vehicle."

"You saw it in the news before you left, but it was just a brief introduction. These are detailed information and data. The United States and the 11th region are very confident. They are too proud and have made public some of the data of these two air superiority fighters, and even started to sell them publicly."

"Of course, I don't mean to rush you. I just hope you understand what our country is currently lacking, so that you can make the best choice when selecting system rewards."

Chapter 9: Mission Rewards

Bronya nodded. Of course she knew, and that was why she had chosen a very crucial reward this time. "Commander, I understand. Now, I will explain my journey and general understanding of the world."

"This time, the world I'm going to is the world where my current body, Bronya, belongs. It's not very dangerous for me, at least not yet."

"I have gained three things so far."

Bronya waved her hand, and three heavy boxes landed on the conference room floor. "These are the system rewards I received: advanced vehicle blueprints, intermediate weapon blueprints, and a random item with no prior notice."

“I have already opened these random boxes beforehand and checked the items inside. Now I will introduce them to you one by one.”

Next, Bronya began to carefully introduce the contents of the boxes. The first box contained design blueprints, a great many of them, indicating that she had made blueprints for every single item.

"The Nuwa Cannon, a super cannon from another world, Shenzhou, together with the Sentinel anti-aircraft vehicle, forms an armored defense line known as the Great Wall of Steel. This cannon has extremely powerful firepower. After firing its 250mm nuclear fission heavy-duty cannon, it will leave a small area of ​​nuclear radiation on the ground. This nuclear radiation can still kill the human body."

"But the price is that this terrifying slaughter machine moves very slowly because its internal mini nuclear reactor sacrifices engine power when firing, making it very inflexible. However, its external armor and powerful firepower have become a nightmare for most infantry and armored vehicles in that world."

After Bronya finished speaking, the several bigwigs present all fell silent. After a few seconds, one of the men frowned and said seriously, "Nuclear weapons?"

"Yes."

"this....."

The man didn't speak, but those present basically understood his meaning. Nuclear weapons are currently prohibited by international conventions; any form of nuclear weaponry is condemned and punished. Moreover... using nuclear energy as a power source and being used in firing constitutes a nuclear weapon, which is equivalent to a mobile, small nuclear bomb. Once it explodes...

For a moment, a sense of unease crept into the hearts of those present. The new weapons Bronya had brought back were indeed exciting, but...

Bronya, of course, knew the concerns of those present. "I know what you're worried about. What I mean is, we can dismantle the entire tank. We can give up these inhumane weapons, but we can use the engine of this mini nuclear reactor."

Those present were taken aback. A senior engineer in charge of engine design in China looked thoughtful. "If this kind of mini nuclear reactor were used as a weapon... would it be controllable?"

"Controllable!"

"In other words, a controlled nuclear fusion reactor!"

In an instant, everyone present showed expressions of surprise. Controlled nuclear fusion technology—this was a technology that the entire world was currently stuck on, and every country wanted to develop it, especially the United States and European countries. If this miniature nuclear reactor truly possessed controlled nuclear fusion technology…

This will lead to a leap forward in China's energy sector! Even the weapons and equipment sector will likely experience a similar leap!

"Design drawings, quick! Show me the design drawings!"

The man excitedly asked Bronya for the design drawings. The moment he received them, his hands trembled as he looked through dozens of other design drawings, all labeled in Chinese, almost constantly shaking.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, he trembled as he took off his glasses, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, "This...this can be considered an...incomplete controlled nuclear fusion reactor."

"Incomplete?"

"That's right. This reactor is controllable while in operation, but if it is subjected to a strong external impact, that is, an attack that penetrates the protective armor, the possibility of explosion is still very high. In other words... it is indeed a controllable nuclear fusion reactor, but not entirely."

Old Yu raised an eyebrow. "Is there anything else?"

Bronya nodded. "The second weapon is a personal weapon, the C-10 shotgun. This weapon comes from an interstellar civilization called the Koprulu Sector. I have already analyzed the blueprints. With our current industrial capabilities, we can mass-produce this rifle, which can be used for precise sniping or close-range shooting. Of course, due to material issues, the power and performance of the rifle may be somewhat reduced."

"However, when necessary, it can also be equipped with anti-armor rounds to increase its lethality against armor, making it a very versatile and universal rifle."

Bronya handed the design drawings to an expert specializing in individual weapon design. The expert praised the design drawings repeatedly and made a pledge on the spot that he would deliver the design drawings, which could be mass-produced, to the country within a month!

Old Li raised an eyebrow, and gave him a pledge...

"I will also pledge! I will perfect this incomplete controlled nuclear fusion technology within two years... no! One year! I will definitely hand it over to the country before National Day one year from now!"

Old Li's brow twitched slightly; two military orders...

After the people at the meeting expressed their excitement and determination, Lao Yu looked at Bronya, who had no expression. Was that all? Although it wasn't the air superiority fighter he wanted most right now, these two key technologies were still very impressive.

"Okay...then let's..."

"There is a third design drawing to follow."

Old Yu was halfway through his sentence when he was about to get up but sat back down, staring at Bronya with a complaining look. "Bronya."

"Sir, please speak."

"Next time you speak, don't leave it in half... please be sure to finish what you're saying in one go."

Bronya's eyes flashed with an innocent expression. "Commander, I explained at the beginning that there were three design drawings. You were just too excited."

Old Yu was speechless for a moment, while Old Li took the opportunity to mock him, "Old Yu, it seems your memory has deteriorated a bit. Do you want me to get you a few sets of test papers to do?"

"Screw you! Bronya, tell me, what's the third design blueprint? The big one or the small one?"

Bronya originally wanted to show a mysterious smile and then take out the big pill for everyone present to eat, but unfortunately, unable to smile, Bronya could only project the design drawings onto the whiteboard in front of her with a hint of regret.

The moment the design drawings appeared, Lao Yu froze, and he suddenly stood up! His expression was one of excitement and shock.

Bronya spoke calmly and slowly: "The Viking fighter, an air-to-ground transformable mech from the Koprulu Sector, is an air superiority fighter that can fly freely in both atmospheric and space environments. With it, not only air superiority fighters, but even space battleships can be easily destroyed!"

"........Grass!!!"
