Chapter 2: The Only Tangible Help

As the three questions fell, the eyes of everyone present immediately turned to Ye Cang, waiting for his answer.

Ye Cang smiled slightly and began to explain.

"Three questions, every single one hit the core; I will answer them for everyone one by one."

"The first question, regarding the issue of material toughness and strength, this problem was solved as early as when I developed Controlled Nuclear Fusion."

"That is a brand-new alloy called Alloy No. 13; the performance of this alloy is three times that of the best alloy currently available, and it is not only light and thin but also low-cost, while also being the specialized alloy for Controlled Nuclear Fusion."

"However, it is no longer needed now, because I have already developed Cold Nuclear Fusion."

When he said this, Ye Cang wore a very regretful expression.

"By the way, born together with Alloy No. 13 was the room-temperature Superconductor."

"Of course, this is useful at any time."

After he finished speaking, the scene was deathly silent.

The eyes of everyone looking at Ye Cang were filled with disbelief.

Why could he say these three things in such a flat tone? Any one of these three things alone could trigger a technological revolution!

A thought emerged in everyone's mind simultaneously.

This person is terrifyingly powerful! Could he be a Dou Sheng... cough, I misspoke!

Watching the shock in everyone's eyes, Ye Cang did not give them time to calm down.

Instead, he continued: "The first question is answered, now I will answer the second question."

"Regarding the technology in the Nantianmen Project, I have already broken through it, and all the data is currently stored with me."

As he spoke, Ye Cang tapped his head lightly.

"So, regarding technical issues, you all have no need to worry!"

"What you need to do is make the Nantianmen Project a reality!"

After Ye Cang finished saying this, he subconsciously picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

Then he put down the water glass, preparing to answer the third matter for everyone.

But before Ye Cang could open his mouth.

The person who had asked the question earlier suddenly spoke up.

"Chief Engineer Ye, you don't need to answer the third question; the answer to the third question is already irrelevant."

"You should just announce the start of the Nantianmen Project directly; room-temperature superconductors, Cold Nuclear Fusion that only exists in science fiction, and Alloy No. 13."

"We really can't wait to catch a glimpse of them!"

His words received the unanimous agreement of everyone present!

The gaze of everyone present looking at Ye Cang was so intense that if looks could eat people, Ye Cang would have been eaten clean by now.

But Ye Cang did not announce the official launch of the Nantianmen Project according to their wishes.

Instead, he said coldly: "Before the Nantianmen Project begins, I must remind you."

"The confidentiality level of this project is top secret!"

"Once the project begins, you will completely disappear from this world; in the eyes of outsiders, you will be as good as dead!"

"It is still not too late to quit now; you only need to sign a confidentiality agreement and have some of your memories wiped."

After speaking, Ye Cang sat there quietly, waiting for everyone's answer.

Almost instantly, someone made a decision.

"Chief Engineer Ye, I join the Nantianmen Project!"

Once these words were spoken, the others also expressed their stance one after another.

"We all join the Nantianmen Project!"

Everyone present joined the Nantianmen Project; not a single person quit.

Seeing this, Ye Cang stood up and announced loudly.

"Since no one is quitting, then the Nantianmen Project officially begins on September 12, Year 13, Beizhixing time!"

"Everyone, welcome to the Nantianmen Project; believe me, the Nantianmen Project is just a beginning!"

"Next, the meeting is adjourned!"

"Wait a moment, someone will come to take you to relocate."

After hearing this, everyone stood up silently and left the combat conference room.

Only Ye Cang was left sitting there alone.

【The Nantianmen Project has officially begun; it really wasn't easy!】

"Yeah, it wasn't easy." Ye Cang answered subconsciously. "If it weren't for Du Kaao tripping me up, it might have started long ago!"

"Seriously, bringing out Cold Nuclear Fusion was a desperate move; if it succeeded, it would be smooth sailing! If it failed, I could basically restart."

"The infighting in academia..."

Speaking of this, Ye Cang suddenly noticed something wrong.

There was no one left in the combat conference room, so who was talking to him?!

And the tone and pitch were so familiar...

The next second, Ye Cang couldn't help but exclaim.

"What the hell?!"

"It's you, System!"

"You have intelligence and can talk! I thought you were just a pre-set program!"

"Damn, you have intelligence and can talk, why didn't you respond to me?"

【Because I didn't want to talk to you.】

The system's reply left Ye Cang speechless.

This was truly a plain and unadorned answer.

One must know that when he originally formulated the Nantianmen Project, he had talked to the system for a long time, yet the system had not paid him any mind.

This once made Ye Cang think that the system was merely a program.

But just today, the system had actually taken the initiative to speak to him!

It even said that it hadn't spoken to him before simply because it didn't want to bother with him.

Damn!

He took a few deep breaths to steady his emotions.

Ye Cang asked, "Since you didn't want to bother with me before, why are you bothering with me today?"

"Why the sudden change in temperament?"

【Hmm... In view of your diligent and conscientious work over the past half year, I have come to provide you with some material assistance. Please remember that this is the only material assistance the system can provide you!】

【Zhizi. Modified has arrived, host's exclusive ability Quantum Control has arrived.】

【Obtained exclusive buff Great Wall Watch. Modified.】

【Material distribution complete, the system will continue to lurk.】

Following that, the system went silent.

This left Ye Cang somewhat speechless; it truly was a cold and aloof system, unwilling to say even one extra word to him.

Forget it, he had better study the things the system gave him.

"Call up the data for Zhizi. Modified."

The next second, the detailed data for Zhizi. Modified appeared in Ye Cang's mind.

【Zhizi. Modified, unfolds a proton into two dimensions and etches circuits onto it...】

Seeing this, Ye Cang trembled all over, and then felt that everything was so dull and uninteresting.

Do not get the wrong idea.

It was just that Ye Cang realized this Zhizi came from the technology of the Three-Body world.

The primary function of the Zhizi in the Three-Body world is to lock down basic science, preventing human civilization from progressing and forcing it to remain on the surface.

But the problem is, he has no use for this function here.

The technology of the Chaoshen Yuzhou is very lopsided; all the skill points were put into biology, which is incredibly skewed.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang continued to read.

【Zhizi. Modified has been improved to discard certain functions, retaining only Quantum Entanglement Communication, reconnaissance, and Supercomputer capabilities.】

【Zhizi. Modified has been deeply bound to your brain and is controlled via brainwaves.】

This made Ye Cang's eyes light up.

Great, this Zhizi. Modified is simply a timely gift.

He was just worrying that the performance of the satellites and the Supercomputer of Huaxia was insufficient.

He never expected the system to solve it for him directly!

Good!

However, just as Ye Cang was about to check Quantum Control, Zhizi. Modified suddenly sent him a warning!
