Chapter 127: Academician Yang's Anger

Battery charge, full!

With his heart greatly settled, Cang Luo carefully flicked the taillight switch, and the taillight lit up smoothly.

Next, Cang Luo propped up the electric motorcycle's center stand, lifting the rear wheel off the ground.

Then, he gently twisted the throttle handle...

Buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz...

A low, urgent, mechanical sound immediately emanated from the rear wheel's motor the moment Cang Luo twisted the throttle handle.

This is a sound that can only be heard on Earth!

Cang Luo's mood rose and fell with the sound of the motor.

It felt as if, at this very moment, he was still on Earth riding an electric motorcycle delivering takeout.

And this transmigration was merely a dream...

Pity, this is not a dream!

Cang Luo withdrew his thoughts of his homeland and continued inspecting the electric motorcycle.

Brakes are normal.

Horn is normal.

Throttle function is normal...

After a round of testing, the electric motorcycle's various functions were basically normal and it could be driven on the road smoothly; Cang Luo let out a huge sigh of relief.

"So next, I should think about how to modify it, Iron Chariot..."

Cang Luo paced around the electric motorcycle, thinking about how to modify it.

Ten minutes later, Cang Luo found he had no idea where to start; without even a screwdriver, he couldn't disassemble the body shell, and he dared not force it open for fear of breaking it.

However, even if he successfully forced it open, then what?

What should the replacement armor be designed to look like? He couldn't even draw a design blueprint.

Cang Luo thought for a moment: just drive the vehicle directly to the forge and leave everything to the blacksmith?

"No!"

Cang Luo shook his head and vetoed the idea; ordinary blacksmiths might not have the ability to design armor, and while high-level blacksmiths perhaps did, he might not even be able to meet one.

Even if he could meet a high-level blacksmith, who knows how much it would cost.

Besides, what if, after seeing the internal structure of the electric motorcycle, they started asking questions and questions, and even resorted to killing him to rob him?

Cang Luo had a headache...

"Right! Feng Lin Huo Shan!"

Cang Luo cursed himself as an idiot; with such an overwhelmingly powerful logistics team at his disposal, if he couldn't design it, someone in Feng Lin Huo Shan surely could!

It was full of talented people, and they spoke so nicely...

Cang Luo quickly took out his phone, opened WeChat, and initiated a video call with Zhu Ge Qing of Feng Lin Huo Shan.

Once the video call connected, Cang Luo immediately said, "Hello..."

Zhu Ge Qing ignored Cang Luo, habitually scanning the room where Cang Luo was located with her pair of dead-fish eyes, finally fixing her gaze on the electric motorcycle; she said, "Can the electric motorcycle be driven?"

"Yes, basically no problem..." Cang Luo nodded.

At this moment, after receiving news of Cang Luo's appearance, Li Haoran immediately rushed over and said, "Little Cang, the last incident was our negligence in the investigation..."

"Now rest assured; all assets under your name are under the protection of Feng Lin Huo Shan, and they enjoy foreign investment treatment..."

Cang Luo chuckled; if he had known this, why bother in the first place?

Assets worth hundreds of millions were driven into bankruptcy, and you Feng Lin Huo Shan actually stayed out of it?

When I sought your help, you actually refused, insisting that I had to reveal the existence of the Yuanwu Continent...

To put it plainly, you didn't take me seriously!

Cang Luo said with a half-smile, "As long as the Motherland can guarantee that my family and interests will not be infringed upon, I can do anything for the Motherland within my means.

Including... eliminating all enemies, domestic or foreign!"

Cang Luo spoke these words very calmly, but the last sentence was uttered word by word, the meaning very clear; anyone could hear it.

As long as you treat me well, I am willing to serve the country.

Otherwise, on the day I return to Earth, everyone who ever offended me will die!

Li Haoran nodded slightly with a blank expression; he believed Cang Luo's words.

He had long ago investigated Cang Luo thoroughly and judged him to be a standard angry young man, often ranting online, that is, a keyboard warrior.

Such people are easily out of control; when angry, they might do anything, and they might hold a grudge against someone for a lifetime over a trivial matter, perhaps stabbing you in the back one day.

But such people are also the easiest to exploit.

Because they have too many weaknesses, and they handle affairs very emotionally; just give them a little benefit, appeal to their emotions and reason with them, and they will treat you as a brother, willing to do anything for you...

Li Haoran knew Cang Luo was this kind of person, but that was back on Earth.

Now, having transmigrated to the Yuanwu Continent and become a martial artist, Cang Luo had become powerful, started acting arrogant, started doing whatever he wanted, was a bit domineering, and a bit hard to control...

However, fortunately, his family was still on Earth, so he was still within control.

"The state believes in you!"

Li Haoran nodded heavily, then glanced at the electric motorcycle behind Cang Luo and frowned, saying, "How could there be an electric motorcycle in the Yuanwu Continent?"

Cang Luo said casually, "I guess it was randomly summoned to the Yuanwu Continent before me."

Speaking, Cang Luo pointed his phone camera at the electric motorcycle and said excitedly, "I want to ask you to design a set of external armor for it, the kind that can be easily attached and detached..."

Cang Luo explained his purpose to Li Haoran once; Li Haoran immediately nodded upon hearing it and said, "No problem with this; just so happens that Academician Yang of the National Academy of Sciences is lecturing at Feng Lin Huo Shan; we can ask that old gentleman to take a look.

He is one of the top experts in China on armored vehicles; with his help, it will definitely be a piece of cake, guaranteed to satisfy you..."

Five minutes later, Cang Luo saw a gray-haired old man in his seventies appear hurriedly in the video call.

This gray-haired elder was none other than Academician Yang of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, nearly ninety years old, yet still in robust health.

A large portion of the members of the Feng Lin Huo Shan Research Group's "Lin" division were part-time academicians from the academy or students of certain academicians.

Therefore, the academy and the Feng Lin Huo Shan Research Group shared deep ties, frequently coming to Feng Lin Huo Shan to lecture or participate in research; Academician Yang had come today specifically to lecture some young people.

At this moment, Academician Yang was somewhat angry, walking with hurried steps.

He had been halfway through his lecture when he was forcibly summoned by someone sent by Li Weiguo, told it was an urgent matter; his class was interrupted, hence his anger.

He frowned at Li Weiguo and said, "Xiao Li, what matter is more important than my lecturing students? They are the nation's future; I have little time left and cannot waste it!"

Upon Academician Yang's words, everyone present, including Cang Luo in the Yuanwu Continent, instantly grew immensely solemn.

Facing Old Man Yang and those like him who had dedicated their lives to the nation, all the people could do was show respect upon respect; no words of gratitude or fame and fortune could compare to their achievements.

These old men had hidden their names and identities in desolate lands for decades, enduring the pain and loneliness of separation from family, as well as the illnesses brought by their work...

Not for fame, not for profit!

Only to develop national treasures capable of defending the homeland and resisting foreign invasion!

Academician Yang was one of them... still alive!

He valued time above all else; he wanted to seize every minute and second to impart all his life's learning to those young people...

Li Weiguo, with a serious face, quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Old Yang is joking; you will live to be a hundred..."

"Speak quickly about what it is; don't beat around the bush."

Academician Yang sat down in a chair with an unhappy expression, boredly staring at an electric motorcycle on the screen; there was also a scruffy young man on the screen whom he found somewhat familiar, yet he could not recall who it was.

Li Weiguo said, "It's like this: we have an electric motorcycle that needs your help to modify; we need you to design a set of armor for it..."

"What did you say?!"

Before Li Weiguo could finish, Academician Yang leaped up from the chair, frightening the assistant nearby into rushing forward to support him.

He pointed at the electric motorcycle on the screen and said angrily, "You, you dragged me from the lab just to design armor for a damn broken vehicle? Are you sure it's not a police motorcycle?"

"Um..." Li Weiguo nodded awkwardly; he now didn't know what to do, as Old Yang clearly looked unwilling to help.

"Hmph!"

Academician Yang fiercely flicked his sleeve, then turned and left.

Just then, Cang Luo, who had been silent all along, suddenly shouted, "Academician Yang, please wait!"

Hearing the voice, Academician Yang stopped, turned back, looked at Cang Luo on the screen, and frowned, saying, "I remember now; you are the transmigrator Cang Luo?"

"Indeed, it is this humble one." Cang Luo nodded respectfully.

Regarding Academician Yang, he dared not be presumptuous; his gaze was direct, his face full of admiration.

Academician Yang nodded lightly, then said solemnly, "Hmm, no matter where you are, remember you are a descendant of the Dragon; the motherland is your mother.

Please be sure to gather intelligence from the otherworld for the motherland and contribute a bit of strength within your means to the motherland's greatness."

Cang Luo immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Academician Yang's teachings are recorded in this humble one's heart..."

Speaking thus, Cang Luo felt somewhat embarrassed to speak, hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "I, I wish to ask Academician Yang for a favor; I wonder if you have time?"

"Help you design armor for an electric motorcycle? No time! This old man must return to lecture; ask someone else for help."

Academician Yang refused Cang Luo's request without hesitation; he did not care about Cang Luo's identity as a transmigrator.

What? You want me, a proper academician of the National Academy of Sciences, to design armor for an electric motorcycle that is as ordinary as can be?

What kind of joke is this!

What can designing armor for an electric motorcycle accomplish?

Can it fight wars?

Can it kill enemies?

Can it defend the homeland?

You gather intelligence in the otherworld, which is indeed a merit to the nation, but you cannot be complacent because of it; do not waste the precious time of a national academician for a broken vehicle with no use whatsoever!

As Academician Yang passed Li Weiguo, he glared fiercely at him.

Li Weiguo looked embarrassed, immediately ordered someone to escort Academician Yang away, then looked at Cang Luo helplessly and said, "Xiao Cang, it's fine; Old Yang is quite busy; I will find someone else to design it for you."

Cang Luo said nothing; he was extremely displeased now, feeling looked down upon; Academician Yang believed his matter was far less important than lecturing his students.

Indeed, besides providing the nation with otherworld intelligence, what else can I do?

After returning to Earth, I am nothing more than a hired muscle...

The more Cang Luo thought, the angrier he became; he did not want to be looked down upon, did not want to be ignored, especially not by someone like Academician Yang whose achievements shook the heavens.

Cang Luo exhaled heavily, looked at Academician Yang who had just left the door, and shouted loudly, "Academician Yang, do you not wish to see how the blacksmiths of the Yuanwu Continent forge rune armor?

Do you not wish to know the difference between rune armor and Earth's artificial alloys?

Do you not wish to know which of the two is stronger?"
