Chapter 120: The Treatment of a National Treasure-Level Genius Scientist!

Although Li Mingyang readily agreed, both he and Wang Qiang clearly understood one thing in their hearts.

Even if Li Mingyang achieves a technical breakthrough here…… Wang Qiang, after all, is old, and wanting to let Wang Qiang truly have a day when he can go into space completely speechless……

This is not a problem that can be solved by a simple technical breakthrough.

To achieve that level, one would expect that by then technology would have advanced to the point where going in and out of space is as simple as taking a train out the door.

As for the various technologies needed, even with Li Mingyang's current genius level, he himself dares not guarantee, promising that he will be able to accomplish it one day.

As for Wang Qiang, this old researcher, he undoubtedly understands even more clearly that no matter what kind of technical breakthrough, the further along it gets, the harder it becomes to make progress.

This feeling is like taking an exam: if you start out as a poor student with only a single-digit score, then wanting to improve is actually quite simple.

One can easily double their scores.

When your scores reach a certain level, from just passing to scoring 120, 130!

As your scores become ever better, then at this point, even if you merely want to improve by one or two points, the difficulty is far beyond what it was before.

Therefore, rather than saying it is Wang Qiang's demand and Li Mingyang's agreed condition, it is better to say it is a romantic promise between the two.

No matter whether this promise can be fulfilled, the romance itself is merely the promise, not whether the goal can actually be achieved.

The evening's victory banquet ended quickly, at least as far as Li Mingyang and Wang Qiang's senses were concerned.

After finishing the research on the sixth-generation aircraft, the old and the young both felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

Moreover, chatting about the future, chatting about such daydreams in their hearts naturally makes people feel much happier without realizing it, and before they knew it, an evening banquet had naturally passed.

However, what surprised Li Mingyang somewhat was that, having originally thought that as the biggest contributor he would certainly receive substantial rewards from the state,

but from the start of the banquet to its end, many guests received related rewards, while Li Mingyang got none at all.

Even including his own teacher, who was originally a top Academician, received many honorary rewards, and also gained a share of practical benefits.

But looking back, even his own name was merely mentioned in passing.

Although Li Mingyang originally didn't care much about these things…… the situation at the banquet still left him feeling somewhat displeased.

What is this situation? Is it "when the birds are gone, the bow is put away" or "tearing down the bridge after crossing the river"? It shouldn't be!

After all, when the right and wrong first began, that old man's attitude was much more enthusiastic than before!

Although Li Mingyang's mind was full of doubts and confusion, after all the matter had already been settled, and no matter what he thought, it could no longer be changed.

So he could only suppress his doubts and return to his dormitory.

Although Li Mingyang's heart is now like an arrow returning home, he is eager to see his own Pangu Super-large Research Base.

He is eager to launch some projects he has long been thinking about.

But after the victory banquet ended, the time was already past 10 p. m.; even if Li Mingyang took a plane to get there, there was no time left.

Rather than rushing in the middle of the night, it would be better to return to the dormitory to rest properly for the night and set out tomorrow.

Wang Qiang naturally noticed Li Mingyang's expression, but this teacher, who always protects his shortcomings, seemed this time not to intend to voice any opinion.

Instead, he wore a faint smile of unclear meaning, and his eyes even hinted at some expectation.

I don't know what reaction and expression this brat will have tomorrow when he wakes up and discovers the truth.

No, no, even if purely for the sake of watching the excitement, seizing the opportunity to take a couple of photos to linger, the old man still has to get up early tomorrow.

For now, it's best to seize the time to sleep, lest he oversleeps tomorrow……

……

"Chief, greetings!"

The next morning, because he felt somewhat impatient inside, Li Mingyang got out of bed in less than eight o'clock.

However, when he opened his dormitory door, the two soldiers standing at the entrance in smart military uniforms gave him a start.

What situation is this? He doesn't recall ever having received such treatment in his memory!

Moreover, the research base already has layers of tight security; there's absolutely no need to station two guards at his dormitory door, right?

"Hello, hello, may I ask what this is……"

"Reporting to the Chief, we have received orders from above; our squad will henceforth be responsible for your security, Chief!"

"A squad?" Li Mingyang looked utterly puzzled.

"Yes, Chief, our squad numbers twelve in total……"

With the explanation of the two guards, Li Mingyang finally figured out what was going on!

It turned out that he wasn't without rewards; rather, the state had long prepared them, perhaps this arrangement was meant to give him a surprise?

Recalling how he had just gone out and suddenly heard a "Chief, greetings!", Li Mingyang inwardly rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Whether this is a surprise or a shock, it's hard to say!

And then……

When Li Mingyang prepared to depart for Liangcheng, under the guidance of the two guards, he soon saw a military small transport plane!

"You say…… this thing will be my exclusive ride from now on? This…… is appropriate?!!!"
