Chapter 71: Why Is There Suddenly Pressure to Get Married?!

Wait.

Why would I even think about something like retiring from the front lines?!

This is truly inexplicable!

Scratching his hair, Ye Cang decided to skip the topic of Di Leina.

But before he could even speak, the old man's next words made Ye Cang's hair stand on end.

"Little Cang, why did you suddenly stop talking when Di Leina was mentioned just now, and your expression became so strange?"

"What, do you have a crush on her?"

"Ah? I don't, I just..." Ye Cang hurriedly denied.

Since when did he have a crush on Di Leina? How come he didn't know about this?

But before he could finish, the old man continued: "You are 23 this year, it's normal to have a girl you like!"

"But let's forget about this Di Leina. In this old man's opinion, Qi Lin from the Xiongbing Lian is very suitable for you. If you don't like Qi Lin, that child Rui Mengmeng is also not bad!"

"That child Mengmeng is good, diligent and simple."

"Du Qiangwei won't do, that child is too arrogant, you two are not a match!"

"So, you..."

Seeing the old man talking endlessly, Ye Cang was so frightened that he hurriedly interrupted him.

"Stop, please stop!" Ye Cang said while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"I don't like anyone, and I don't want to get married even more. I was just thinking about other things earlier, it has nothing to do with women!"

"To borrow the words of Huo Qubing, 'How can one have a home when the Xiongnu are not yet destroyed?' Now the Taotie have already made a move against Earth, and Tianhe City is only their first wave of offensives."

"There will definitely be more violent offensives later, so before the Taotie are completely wiped out, I will not think about personal matters."

After speaking, Ye Cang let out a long breath in his heart.

How terrifying, he is already a national-level chief engineer, so why can he still not escape the fate of being urged to marry?

And after hearing these words from Ye Cang, the old man did not give up.

"Hey, Little Cang, look at what you're saying."

"I know you do it for everyone, but you also have to pay attention to your own small family. If the Taotie are never wiped out, you can't just never get married!"

"We'll see! We'll see!" Ye Cang replied perfunctorily, then hurriedly started the next topic.

"Let's end the marriage talk here, let's talk about some serious business."

"I captured an intact Taotie Main Battleship this time, so I need personnel to dismantle it and then build a warship that belongs to our Huaxia!"

"The Nantianmen Project is fine for wars within Earth, but once it involves outer space, it is stretched thin."

The old man nodded.

"Hmm, I know. You can deploy the manpower as you wish. Also, I have cleared out the interior, there won't be any messy people, so you can rest assured."

"The same goes for funding, you can also deploy it as you wish."

"This is the greatest support I can give you!"

"Good!" Ye Cang nodded seriously, then stood up and left the Central Control Room.

About ten minutes later, he came to the old man with two test tubes containing a milky white liquid.

These were the two doses of Special Protein he had specifically brought for the old man when he went to Luan Bird One.

"Look, this is..." Ye Cang's words had just left his mouth when he was interrupted by the old man.

"I know what you mean, Little Cang," the old man said.

"I don't need these things. Giving them to an old man like me is a waste. It's better to give them to the soldiers; only by giving them to the soldiers can they exert their maximum efficacy."

After speaking, the old man pushed Ye Cang's hand away.

But Ye Cang did not give up.

"Listen to me, your age..."

Ye Cang's words were interrupted again.

"Little Cang, I understand your intentions. You must know that death is inevitable for everyone. As long as one dies meaningfully, that is better than anything. Take it back!"

Seeing the old man's firm attitude, Ye Cang could not say anything more, so he had to take back the Special Protein and sit down beside the old man again.

The two sat quietly for a long time.

Only then did the old man say again: "Little Cang, you fought this battle beautifully!"

"But the Xiongbing Lian are truly too disappointing. Tomorrow, accompany me to visit Du Kaao!"

"Good!" Ye Cang nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, the old man didn't say anything more but stood up and walked out of the Central Control Room.

As he walked, he said: "I'm going back, no need to see me off, you get some good rest."

"By the way, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're so young and you keep a straight face all day, aren't you afraid of getting old prematurely? Remember to balance work and rest!"

After speaking, the old man walked out of the Central Control Room.

After the old man left, Ye Cang sat there recalling the last words the old man said to him.

He keeps a straight face?

Does he?

When did he ever keep a straight face?

Thinking of this, Ye Cang couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his face.

Hmm... no!

He just feels that expressions are too superfluous. Once an expression is too rich, he will betray himself.

This is very disadvantageous, so being expressionless is the best choice.

Just as Ye Cang was thinking about these matters, the door to the Central Control Room opened again, and 30 Super Soldiers walked in.

"Chief Engineer Ye! We have returned!"

The leading Super Soldier saluted, then took off his helmet, revealing his resolute face.

"Hmm, are any of you injured? Or is there any discomfort in your bodies? Don't be shy to speak up; this is a very serious matter," Ye Cang asked.

"Reporting to Chief Engineer Ye, one person's battle armor has developed a crack."

"Other than that, everything is normal!" the leading soldier replied quickly.

Hearing the soldier's reply, Ye Cang said nothing more.

He simply led the Super Soldiers to the Tianhe Transport Plane, and the group returned to the office area.

Almost as soon as Ye Cang arrived at the office area, the Taotie Main Battleship descended from the sky and parked in the vast open space not far away.

Looking at the Taotie Main Battleship, Ye Cang thought for a moment and then entered the Main Battleship again.

A moment later, he stepped onto a Small Airship and flew out of the Main Battleship, landing steadily at the entrance of the laboratory.

Immediately after, he dragged the Small Airship into the laboratory all by himself.

Next was the time to crack the Taotie technology!

Now that Ye Cang was a Second Generation Super Soldier, his brain utilization rate had increased significantly, so he had cracked most of the Taotie's Small Airship technology in just one night.

This Small Airship was nothing more than an application of Anti-Gravity Technology; other than that, there was really nothing of value.

However, applying this Anti-Gravity Technology to the Ceramic Steel Battle Armor of the Super Soldiers still presented quite a bit of difficulty.

This matter would have to wait for some time before being addressed.

As for now, he had to go to Juxia with the old man.

Walking out of the laboratory, he tidied himself up, changed into a new set of clothes, and then stood there, waiting for the old man's arrival.
