December 30th was a Sunday, the first day of the New Year's Day holiday. The flow of people on the streets soared again. The residents of the surrounding satellite cities also entered the main city area to spend their holidays. The exhaust exhaled by 200 million people raised the temperature of Xia City by two degrees, making the body feel more comfortable.
Around the Shang Ding Building and the surrounding high-rise buildings, the traffic on the guiding light track shuttled back and forth without beginning or end. Most of them were private cars, but there were also "hundred-jointed cars" that had just been dismantled and landed on various platforms by the traction force.
Zhang Yingying got out of a "hundred-jointed car" and walked quickly into the Shang Ding Building. When she climbed the stairs, she stepped on the last bit of red of the setting sun, adding a glazed luster to her white pencil pants and nude high heels, which attracted a lot of attention.
But she didn't care about that. She raised her hand to look at her watch and sped up again. In the sound of her heels hitting the ground, she passed through the corridors of the interior floors of the building. After a lot of twists and turns, she finally arrived at the place.
"Conference Room 1135 … done!" After making sure that she arrived before the appointed time, Zhang Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted her breathing, and pushed the door open.
"Huh?"
The circular conference room that could accommodate about 20 people was unexpectedly empty. There were only three or four people. Except for a staff member in charge of service, the rest were the same group.
Not at the conference table, two bodyguards were sitting against the wall. At this time, they turned their heads and greeted her with a smile.
"Yingying, you're here for a meeting?"
"Big Brother, Captain Gao." Zhang Yingying responded with the way she was used to, and then curled her lips. "His Majesty said he wouldn't come, but he only gave me half an hour to replace him. I climbed up from the bottom of the sea … "
While they were chatting, Zhang Yingying's eyes glanced at the young man at the conference table who was obviously a top Perception Master, but had no reaction to the changes in the outside world.
Zhang Yingying gritted her teeth. "This guy!"
The two bodyguards laughed, but they had no intention of intervening. After the lecture on the 14th, in addition to the two concepts of "cage" and "configuration" that shook the world, the several bets that came before and after also painted the whole situation with a strange gossipy color.
Many people in the inner world knew that the young genius, Teacher Luo, had a beautiful female guard beside him who was extremely eloquent. She had insulted the senior B-class expert, REE, until she lost her composure and lost all face.
As for Xia City, Zhang Yingying's favorable impression of Luo Nan was pretty much an open secret. It was just that Luo Nan, the main character and the core of this matter, didn't seem to have this awareness at all.
This young man, who had just turned 16, seemed to always live in a dimension that was difficult for outsiders to understand. Sometimes he was depressed, and sometimes he was in high spirits. He did not seek external help and had his own logic.
Luo Nan was earnestly looking at his flexible e-ink screen. He used his finger to open a folder. This was his mother's research data, which he had transferred from Professor Pan's cloud space.
The theme of the information was modern architectural design, but for 99% of the world's designers, it was tantamount to a book that they could never understand.
In the folder that he had just opened, there were about seven or eight different kinds of documents, from the most primitive observation data to intuitive three-dimensional models, including the corresponding analysis and calculation. There were also some ideas that were written down on the spot, recordings of discussions, and even videos left behind.
These documents together formed a basic unit. It didn't revolve around design theories or cases, but rather a genuine basic configuration. It was just a fragment that had lost the meaning of the configuration.
There were about three to four thousand similar units. Together, they formed the accumulation of basic research data on the configuration. This was a gift from the heavens that Luo Nan didn't even dare to dream of.
"Mom must be watching me from the heavens."
Luo Nan couldn't help but fantasize about these things. For the first time, he willingly crawled under the mighty power of fate, loudly praising it.
He had once thought that since his mother was able to build a passageway that led to the clouds, she would certainly carry out explorations and research in that bizarre world.
Thoughts were thoughts, but he never would have thought that the results of his mother's research were like a light boat crossing a specific path in the long river of time. They formed a predestined intersection with him, who had similarly chosen this path and was doing his best to row forward.
The inheritance of fate was the highest reward for his five years of life and death struggle.
Of course, Luo Nan wouldn't forget. He was very grateful to Professor Pan Wen, who had created, or at least accelerated, this intersection. There was also Tian Tian, Tian Tian, and Tian Tian, as well as all the people within this river of fate who had given him a boost ….
"Hey, didn't you say that you were in a good mood? Why are you becoming more and more aloof? "Zhang Yingying finally couldn't hold back. She slapped Luo Nan on the shoulder, announcing her existence.
Luo Nan, who was wandering in the river of fate, was slapped onto the shore by Zhang Yingying's slap.
He finally turned his head, but the side of his face met with an open lapel of a light-colored short-sleeved suit. He instinctively leaned back and saw a white-collared beauty with quite the intellectual and capable air.
Zhang Yingying had one hand on the conference table. Her body leaned forward, and she was very close. She cast a very direct gaze on Luo Nan's face.
From Luo Nan's perspective, Zhang Yingying's clothes were more meaningful. This sort of outfit stirred up even more of his memories and emotions.
Luo Nan still remembered that just three months ago, this was the same person who had disguised herself as a lawyer and boarded the ship that blocked the mountain. She continued to participate and push, making him willingly enter the water. She walked step by step into the deep water, all the way until he entered the river channel that belonged solely to him. She obtained the highest reward.
So Luo Nan was very grateful to her. It could be said that he didn't forget his old kindness.
Luo Nan couldn't help but laugh. "I was just thinking about you … …"
Zhang Yingying was a bit stupefied, but when she saw Luo Nan's expression, she knew that she was thinking too much. Even so, she was still in a bit of a difficult situation for a short period of time. She didn't want to retreat and show weakness. She just subconsciously reached out to touch the flexible screen and opened a document in the folder. It was originally a meaningless action, but the complicated mathematical equations stung her eyes with a couple of glances.
"Do you understand these?"
"Yeah, not really." Luo Nan was very honest.
The information passed down by his mother was very detailed, but the level was also very high. Luo Nan still didn't understand some of the special algorithms involved. He probably needed to search for information or even learn the relevant knowledge on the spot. He would need to grind it down bit by bit.
In these two days, Luo Nan specially selected recordings and videos to experience them one by one. He only skimmed through the rest of the information. He didn't read it in depth. Even so, he felt dizzy every time he looked at a few sets. It was hard for his mind to continue.
Luo Nan laughed when he thought of this.
"What are you so happy about if you don't understand!"
"Why can't I be happy if I don't understand?"
Fine. Luo Nan knew this. If it was the past, he would have been grinded to the point of insanity long ago. Just thoroughly understanding his mother's research data required a large amount of time. Uncovering the deeper mysteries of the cloud world was even more distant. Then killing Gong Qi was placed behind these two in order. Wouldn't it be even more meaningless?
Luo Nan should be anxious, but right now his mood was strangely tranquil and joyful.
Every folder contained detailed and clear information. It recorded the process of his mother's research back in the day. Looking at the daily logs and records, as well as the recordings and videos that appeared from time to time, was like learning and conversing with his mother.
So Luo Nan knew. His mother's writing was clear, definite, and concise. But when she scribbled and discussed, it was inevitable that she would hesitate and struggle. Sometimes she would even have a bit of a temper.
When she encountered obstacles, she would promptly communicate with others in addition to researching on her own. Most of the time, it was in the form of brainstorming, letting many people participate. Among them were Professor Pan Wen, his grandfather, but most of them were that fellow.
They discussed and even argued. They casually drew diagrams or more complex data formulas and so on. Luo Nan could understand some of them, but he couldn't understand some of them at all.
But it didn't matter. He just quietly watched from the side.
Every time this happened, his mood would be anxious and relaxed. He was like a glutton facing a delicacy. He wanted to swallow it clean in one gulp, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat it all. He could only taste it bit by bit.
This feeling was strange, but it wasn't bad at all!
Luo Nan chuckled. His laughter made Zhang Yingying's hair stand on end.
And at this time, the door to the conference room was pushed open. A group of people came in one after another. Their gazes naturally focused on Luo Nan and Zhang Yingying. Some of them even revealed secretive smiles.
"Tch!"
Zhang Yingying didn't want to be gossip material. She also didn't feel the need to deliberately keep her distance. She immediately pulled out a chair and sat next to Luo Nan.
The conference room was quickly filled with people. The last to enter was He Yueyin. She was still dressed conservatively as an office lady.
As the 'outsider' for today's conference, Tian Bang entered a second before He Yueyin. He wore a military uniform that was rarely seen. The Major General's gold star on his shoulder made him look extremely sharp. But when he opened his mouth, he still had that relaxed and leisurely appearance.
"Oh. The protagonist has already arrived."
His gaze fell directly on Luo Nan without the slightest bit of concealment.
He Yueyin didn't exchange pleasantries. She didn't speak nonsense. She just nodded slightly at Luo Nan after sitting down. She said, "Next we'll have a meeting. We'll discuss the specific matters related to the Scavenger project. During yesterday's video conference, the branch team had already reached a consensus. They basically agreed to cooperate with Xia City's government, the garrison force, and the East Sea Military Theater. We'll push forward with the research and development of this project. We invited Major General Tian to this meeting today to ask him to introduce the background of the project in detail. We'll discuss the functional requirements of the project, the technical bottleneck, the research and development plan, and other issues. We'll strive to form a framework and implement it as soon as possible. "
Her gaze fell on Tian Bang after she finished speaking. Tian Bang understood. He grinned and took over the conversation, "Today I've come here to discuss the Scavenger project. Of course it's the first priority. But before that, we can't avoid the convention. We still need to pay our respects.
