Chapter 25 The First Meal of the Quantum Light Computer

Ding Yue opened the car door for He Xingzhou ahead of time, and He Xingzhou was still not used to it.

After sitting down, he found the interior of the car exceptionally spacious, with movable, foldable leather sofas, a vehicle computer, vehicle radar, and more!

Xu Zhilan specifically emphasized, "Underneath your seat in the drawer, there are firearms, smoke grenades, and bullets; there's also an emergency medical kit in the car."

"Do you know how to use a gun?"

"No," He Xingzhou shook his head.

"Then I'll teach you when we have time!" Xu Zhilan said, "Learning some basic operations would be good."

"Sure!" He Xingzhou was also very interested; military weapons were also on his research agenda!

The jeep drove out of the secret base, heading toward the research institute on the outskirts of the capital.

Upon their arrival, they found that emergency modifications and relocations were underway; the builders here were not ordinary workers, but engineering troops from the military!

He Xingzhou checked the situation here; the research institute included both above-ground and underground parts, with the underground part even planning to build an anti-missile layer, and all secret experiments would be conducted below!

He Xingzhou was concerned about more than just that, and he asked, "Does the research institute have its own energy supply?"

A staff member replied, "Yes, the institute originally has a small power station, which can operate for a while even if there's a power outage outside."

"Good, take me there!" He Xingzhou went to the small power station where he asked the workers to turn it on for operating some tests, but in reality, he was absorbing energy for the Quantum Light Computer.

As long as it was energy that could be supplied to He Xingzhou, the Quantum Light Computer could absorb it silently within a certain range.

The Quantum Light Computer spoke in He Xingzhou's mind, "I can absorb an energy unit per hour from this power facility."

"Great," He Xingzhou then instructed the staff, saying, "Keep this small power station running continuously; I need to inspect several devices thoroughly! No matter how much electricity it consumes, don't turn it off. If it's needed for construction, let me know in advance."

"Sure!" The staff naturally had no objections, as the entire research institute was built for him, and his word was final.

After arranging all this, He Xingzhou requested to go back and rest.

The logistics department at his residence had already arranged for him to live in an upscale community not far from his school. Most of the residents here were teaching staff, and the security system was quite comprehensive.

This arrangement made it convenient for He Xingzhou to visit the research institute or attend classes at school. Yes, He Xingzhou was still a student, and he still needed to study!

This was specifically suggested by his teacher, Zhang Boyan, who believed that having ambition alone was inadequate and that abilities must keep up; thus, he advised the organization that even if He Xingzhou was involved in an important plan, he should not neglect his studies.

He specifically emphasized over the phone, "Even if you save the world from an apocalypse, you absolutely must not skip writing your thesis!"

As He Xingzhou got into the car, Ding Yue and Xu Zhilan had already changed their clothes. To better cooperate with He Xingzhou's work, they too had adopted fictitious social identities.

For example, Ding Yue's disguised identity was He Xingzhou's cousin, a personal fitness trainer.

While Xu Zhilan's disguised identity was that of a freelance media worker, a single young woman.

Ding Yue wore oversized jeans and an extra-wide short-sleeved shirt, his muscles exceptionally prominent, giving off an oppressive aura!

And Xu Zhilan had changed into a chic summer outfit, a pure white sleeveless top with cartoon patterns, paired with light-colored straight-leg pants, revealing a bit of her slender waist. A Chanel bag was slung across her waist, supplemented with sparkling bracelets and earrings.

He Xingzhou noticed that she had also applied makeup. Originally, her bare face was already beautiful with a score of eight out of ten, but with makeup, her attractiveness soared even higher!

He Xingzhou exclaimed, "Sister Xu, your outfit is like you've transformed into a fashion goddess!"

"Exactly!" Xu Zhilan proudly said, "Back in my days at National Defense Science and Technology University, my suitors would line up all the way to the sea!"

"That's impressive!" He Xingzhou remarked, National Defense Science and Technology University is also one of the top universities in the country, not everyone can get in!

"You are even more impressive!" Xu Zhilan curiously asked, "I heard that you built a nuclear reactor while you were in school? You also discovered the Insect Race monsters. I'm really curious, how did you do it?"

Buddha said, "Unspeakable," laughed He Xingzhou.

"How mysterious!" Xu Zhirong did not further inquire to avoid touching on any secrets He Xingzhou couldn't share.

"Let's go straight back to the residential complex, we will be living next door to you, always ready to assist," Ding Yue stepped on the accelerator.

"No problem," He Xingzhou didn't object.

Soon, they arrived at the residential complex.

He Xingzhou's house was fully equipped with home appliances, no preparation needed on his part. Xu Zhilan and Ding Yue lived just next door, ready to provide support anytime!

He Xingzhou took a warm shower, then lazily lay on the bed.

Having dealt with numerous issues over the past week, he was exhausted. Lying in bed, however, he found himself unable to sleep.

Participating in the Xuanwu Plan and establishing the whistleblower scientific research institute also put a huge amount of pressure on him.

"Since I can't sleep, I might as well think about how to proceed with the next plans!" He Xingzhou thought to himself.

"Just building a steel Great Wall isn't the best choice!"

"The Steel Great Wall in my plan isn't just a concrete reinforcement barrier but is equipped with various high-tech military facilities like laser weapons, gun towers, mechas, and includes radar, surveillance, and logistics transportation functionalities for this Steel Great Wall!"

"So, I need to prepare for building the Steel Great Wall, and the first thing to do is to develop the corresponding technology!"

"Quantum Light Computer!" He Xingzhou summoned the Quantum Light Computer to check the technology tree.

"To build the Steel Great Wall, a complete, efficient nationwide logistics system, communication networks, control systems, weapons systems, energy systems, and more are needed.

"An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure. I'll start with the basic work. It would be best if I could prove my capabilities to get more resources from the authorities."

He Xingzhou searched within the technology tree, "I need to build an energy device, energy storage device, logistics control system, control system..."

"It's possible to work on single technology development, but maybe I can combine them to attract public attention with the art of scientific creation, preparing for the future construction of the Steel Great Wall!"

He Xingzhou believed that logistics system technology should be developed first.

"Building the Steel Great Wall, to repel the Insect Race, will indeed require a nationwide logistics network. Our existing road transportation, rail transportation, water transport, and air transport are not sufficient!"

"Once the insect disaster strikes, it will be a massive transfer of national resources and personnel! Not only on a large scale but also requiring high efficiency!"

He Xingzhou envisioned a super high-speed rail within the interior of the Steel Great Wall, namely, the so-called vacuum tube maglev train, theoretically capable of running at speeds of 20,000 kilometers per hour, sixteen times the speed of sound! This means if the super high-speed rail is developed, personnel and material transportation inside the Steel Great Wall could potentially cover from the northernmost to the southernmost ends of Huaxia within an hour!

"Unlocking the super high-speed rail requires a hundred thousand energy units?" He Xingzhou realized the conditions for unlocking and knew it was out of reach for now.

Currently, a small power station only provides 24 energy units a day, so it would take years right?

"Apart from super high-speed rail, there are other logistics technologies, such as revamping road transportation to lay the groundwork for the super high-speed rail development," He Xingzhou found another technology, more practical at the moment and requiring fewer energy units, able to start immediately.
