Where’s Little Candy? I haven’t seen Little Candy in a while, and I really miss her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Jingchun rubbed his nose with a wry smile, realizing that the popular one was just Candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, Guoguo is still in kindergarten, there’s no dismissal at noon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then never mind, I won’t chat idly with you. The teacher asked me to ask you if it’s possible to produce some graphene batteries at this stage; our research institute needs some.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Jingchun pondered for a while and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The lab can indeed produce some, but the quantity is very low. After a month, I believe we will be able to produce more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior, can you make some in the lab now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Jingchun was a bit surprised. Is it that urgent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month’s time isn’t actually that long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what the batteries are for, Mo Jingchun could guess a bit, nothing more than that robot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Mo Jingchun didn’t know was that he was actually wrong this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That robot, within the institute, was not really looked upon favorably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed agile and vivid, a single bullet could render the robot instantly scrapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, we can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for the teacher’s sake; even if only the senior needed it, Mo Jingchun would provide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the underground base, the senior really took good care of the little one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, thank you so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior, you don’t know how excited everyone at our research institute was when they found out that Candy Technology achieved low-cost mass production of graphene batteries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many of our research projects need the new generation of batteries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the senior spoke, Mo Jingchun unconsciously sat up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I feeling proud?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, senior, please stop praising me. If you keep praising me, I’ll be floating up to the sky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior on the other end of the call was silent for a moment and then said something astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Floating up to the sky, discussing how to land safely, now that’s a project worth exploring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just taken a sip of water, Mo Jingchun spat it out immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Xia Xiaomin looked over, bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, you must not launch this as a project; otherwise, the teacher will come and hit me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior.\" Li Qianqian’s tone changed slightly, and Mo Jingchun noticed it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The teacher hasn’t been in good health this year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some time ago, the teacher asked me to graduate in a few years and said I could eventually lead my own research.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you understand what I mean, junior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting by the window, gazing at the world outside, Li Qianqian felt incredibly downcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the fact that the teacher mentioned she could eventually join Candy Technology, she didn’t mention a word of this to her junior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This year’s graduates’ defense, you should come back to the school to take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Jingchun, sitting in his office, was a bit in a daze; he didn’t even know when the senior hung up the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memories kept replaying in his mind—meeting the teacher at the start of university and the care he received over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To a large extent, getting through the startup phase of the company, Mo Jingchun knew, was greatly related to the teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching across the world with a thriving student body is definitely not just empty talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural, but how many can truly come to terms with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a scholar like the teacher, having a health issue would surely prompt immediate expert diagnosis and treatment, but if the condition still doesn’t improve, then it’s serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, Mo Jingchun lost his appetite for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Xia Xiaomin hadn’t left yet, probably because he hadn’t left either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xia, you go have your lunch break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have something to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xiaomin looked at her boss, who wasn’t in a good mood, nodded, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want me to bring you something for lunch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, just go take a break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll head to the cafeteria when I get hungry later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xia Xiaomin left, Mo Jingchun didn’t forget what the senior said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zero, send an email to Liu Hailong in the lab, asking the lab to produce some graphene batteries, about 10kg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make it quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handling this task, Mo Jingchun had nothing to do for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t fall asleep even if he tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, I might as well check out the news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the latest news, Mo Jingchun was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could understand companies coming together to hold a press conference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did all the major countries start launching various space programs this month? Mo Jingchun was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the start of a new space race?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no need for it, just like lunar exploration by spacecraft, which is mainly for showing off a great nation’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, with all these nations reigniting the lunar exploration, Mars exploration, and so on, Mo Jingchun was baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Mo Jingchun’s view, before human civilization develops to a certain level, these space races just waste resources and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important thing is, what’s the meaning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused to believe that all these countries were aimless, especially with so many participating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There could be only one possibility, and that is that there are reasons making each country feel compelled to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the South Celestial Gate program mentioned in the text about Xia Country, Mo Jingchun pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zero, is there any information online about the reasons for the latest round of space races by each country?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, there’s not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I could access a few specific servers, Zero might be able to find the answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind, it’s not necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep a close watch, and inform me of any new developments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a foreign space launch base, a rocket shot skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just twenty seconds later, a massive flash of fire erupted in the sky, followed by a deafening explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not halt the launch mission; collect data and rocket debris to analyze the cause of the launch failure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The researchers were puzzled.
