392: Chapter 391 Modifying the Night Raven

In the business car, the Middle-aged man watched Fang Xiaoyun quickly receding in the rearview mirror, then turned to Manager Ji in the back seat and said, "Manager Ji, should we..."

Manager Ji raised his head and said coldly, "No need."

The Middle-aged man quickly fell silent.

"Don't do anything unnecessary."

Manager Ji said calmly, "He shouldn't have anything to do with what happened at this evaluation meeting. Even if we took him out, it wouldn't serve any purpose other than increasing the risk of us being exposed."

"Understood."

The Middle-aged man hurriedly replied.

"However, that General Zheng is quite interesting."

Manager Ji recalled the details of their meeting and said, somewhat puzzled, "He seemed to show great hostility from the moment he met me. We need to figure this out. I always feel that he isn't just a simple person in charge of the military logistics department."

"Regarding this General Zheng, we have already conducted a detailed investigation."

The Middle-aged man replied, "We haven't found anything unusual."

"Nothing unusual?"

Manager Ji frowned. "Did I feel wrong?"

After thinking for a while without any clues, Manager Ji said calmly, "Let's put the matter of General Zheng aside for now. I always feel that trying to find a breakthrough through him is not a good choice."

"Understood."

The Middle-aged man had no objections.

"By the way, how are those people we sent to the Restoration Alliance doing? Is there any new intelligence?" Manager Ji asked.

"No new intelligence."

The Middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Ever since they were sent out to track a female college student and were knocked unconscious last time, the Restoration Alliance hasn't assigned them any tasks."

"Oh?" Manager Ji raised an eyebrow. "Exposed?"

"Probably not."

The Middle-aged man frowned slightly, also puzzled. "We use a single-line contact method with them. We only make contact when they have intelligence. We don't activate them normally, and we don't take the initiative to intervene, so the risk of exposure is very small."

"Hmph, those little Japs." Manager Ji smiled. "They're hiding pretty deep."

"Tell those people to stay put. If there's no valuable intelligence in the near future, don't contact them. Just have them work properly for the Restoration Alliance."

The Middle-aged man nodded and said, "Understood."

"Hmm." Manager Ji nodded and turned his gaze out the window. Seeming to suddenly remember something, he asked, "What task did that superior from the Restoration Alliance assign to those people?"

"To track a girl, create some difficulties when the opportunity arises, and bring her back directly if necessary."

"Is that so?" Manager Ji became a bit interested. "Have you figured out the identity of that girl?"

"We have." The Middle-aged man replied, "The daughter of Chen Zhongxuan, the chairman of Chen Group, Chen Xin."

"Chen Group?" Manager Ji asked in surprise. "The Chen Group?"

The Middle-aged man understood what Manager Ji meant and nodded. "Yes, Manager Ji, it's the same Chen Group that Zhi Shu warned us about."

"Don't call him Young Master, it's disgusting." Manager Ji looked full of disdain. "The name Zhi Shu is also disgusting. A Korean, insisting on acting as some kind of mastermind, and those old guys actually obey him blindly. I really don't get it."

"Zhi Shu grew up in China, so he's not really from Korea anymore." The Middle-aged man smiled bitterly. The man in front of him could curse, but he couldn't. If he cursed today, he would end up in some unknown black factory tomorrow, and all his wealth and glory would be gone forever.

"Hmph, a Korean is a Korean. He can never change his essential nature of using arrogance to mask his inferiority." Manager Ji waved his hand dismissively, not intending to dwell on this topic, and said, "Since it's that guy Zhi Shu's arrangement, don't pay any more attention to it. That Chen Group can't turn the world upside down."

"Yes." The Middle-aged man couldn't help but smile. He said he didn't care, but his actions were honest; even this Manager Ji acknowledged Zhi Shu's strategic planning.

"I didn't expect that the Restoration Alliance would actually have some connection with Chen Group. This lead is worth investigating; perhaps we can discover some interesting things."

"Pass down the order, have those members of the Restoration Alliance find out who the superior commanders are. It would be best if we could figure out their organizational structure."

"Understood." The Middle-aged man agreed.

Whatever the boss said, he would do. As for what this decision might cause, who cared?

Manager Ji nodded and refocused his thoughts on the current matter.

The company had high hopes for breaking into the military supply channel. Only by entering the military supply channel could they find opportunities to make contact with military personnel like General Zheng without attracting attention.

To this end, the company spared no expense to clear the way, specifically tailoring a military bidding conference to hide their intentions, but now it seemed they had failed.

The reason for the failure was simple. With the help of Fang Xiaoyun, a teammate as stupid as a pig, a bulletproof vest product more advanced than their company's appeared, directly hitting them hard during the actual testing phase.

Even more infuriatingly, the price of this bulletproof vest was less than ten thousand. This made Manager Ji doubt his own eyes, and he carefully counted the zeros on the nameplate several times.

In the end, he confirmed that it was indeed starting with a 9 and was less than ten thousand.

To be so deliberately humiliated was simply intolerable.

Manager Ji was very angry. He was increasingly feeling that this bidding conference was deliberately targeted at him, but he had no clue, only knowing about a factory called Yunsheng Equipment Factory.

"Old Lou."

"Manager Ji, what are your orders?"

Manager Ji said, "One last thing, I need you to investigate this Yunsheng Equipment Factory and see where their raw materials come from."

...

Wang Shuo did not know what had happened in Beijing. At this moment, he was looking at the heavily damaged Night Crow Prototype with a look of dismay.

Just as he had expected, this thing had completely lost its repair value.

Almost all the support structures had slight displacement and deformation. Thirteen of the fifteen core magnetic power joints had experienced overload and melting. The copper-based superconductors inside had lost their superconductivity and turned into ordinary conductive metal, with performance severely degraded, not even enough to support the normal operation of the Night Crow.

The reason for this was that Wang Shuo had underestimated the terror of the human body.

Under such conditions, Captain Li Liancai, as the user, only suffered muscle damage and could fully recover after a short rest.

After continuing to observe for a long time, Wang Shuo gave up helplessly.

Waving his hand to dismiss the robotic arms surrounding the Night Crow, Wang Shuo said, "Zero, repair the Night Crow Prototype and put it in the display case."

"Understood, sir."

Zero's voice sounded.

Immediately, two robotic arms nimbly stepped forward, lifted the Night Crow, and moved it away from its original position.

"Zero, pull up all the design drawings for the Night Crow."

Wang Shuo sat on the gaming chair, slid to the front of the screen, and ordered.

The CAD software opened its windows automatically, and one drawing after another rapidly stacked up like a waterfall.

"Now, remove the armor parts, remove the wiring, remove the stiffeners, and keep only the most basic metal frame."

On the screen, following Wang Shuo's instructions, the drawings changed rapidly.

Before long, a lonely iron frame was displayed on the desktop.

"Zero, has Captain Li Liancai's data been collected?"

"Collected, sir."

"Very good."

Wang Shuo rarely heard good news, and he became happy. "Create a new task: optimize the Night Crow support frame, strengthen it, and basically ensure that an outburst to the extent of Captain Li Liancai's won't cause deformation problems."

"Understood, sir. Currently inputting data for calculation. Specific optimization needs to be done after the Physics Engine is completed. Shall I generate temporary simulation data?"

"Generate."

Wang Shuo said decisively, "Call on all resources for concentrated optimization calculations."

"Understood, sir."

"Additionally, open the magnetic joint design drawings. I will optimize them personally!"

"Understood, sir."

An extremely complex joint drawing appeared on the desktop.

Wang Shuo exhaled and observed carefully.

With the successful construction of the Magnetic Energy Engine, Wang Shuo had a deeper understanding of magnetism and electricity.

The memories that had originally merged into his mind seemed to have melted somewhat at this moment, completely becoming his own.

With just one glance, Wang Shuo discovered four or five unreasonable design points.

The mouse clicked rapidly, quickly marking these unreasonable places and optimizing them one by one.

The more he optimized, the clearer the things in his mind became. One idea after another popped up, causing Wang Shuo to quickly overturn his previous train of thought and carry out modifications anew.
