Chapter 109: Helicopter from the Research Department

Yan Yan tugged at her brother’s sleeve, looking a little reluctant to part with him.
A moment later, Wu Mo waved goodbye to his family.
They boarded the gray helicopter as all the villagers, the village chief, and Wu Mo’s family members looked on.
“Dad, Mom… We’ll see you in Shanglin City later!” Wu Mo said with a smile, tears once again overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
Below, the figures of his parents became smaller and smaller before they completely disappeared.
Feeling the refreshing wind in the forest, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief and sat back in his seat.
“You’re already so old. Don’t cry.”
Zhou Jinlong, who was sitting at the side, handed him a piece of paper and spoke with a smile.
Wu Mo calmed his emotions once again and felt relieved. “Seeing my parents is always exciting. I believe you must have experienced something similar back then, Mr. Zhou.”
“I understand, but the one who’s raised me since I was young has always been my mother. She’s as strong as all the other mothers in the world.”
Zhou Jinlong smiled and said something about himself with a relaxed expression.
Meanwhile, the cultivators sitting in the back row looked at each other in dismay. They had followed Mr. Zhou for several years, but they had never heard him tell them such things.
The helicopter rode the wind and broke the waves, flying at a constant speed in the air.
Wu Mo and Mr. Zhou chatted along the way. Near noon, they even ate an “air force” lunch.
Changkang Village was located on one corner of Lin Chang satellite city’s map and was more than 1000 kilometers away from Jingdu. Even with the official helicopter, it took nearly six hours of travel.
Over these six hours, Wu Mo and Mr. Zhou chatted a lot, and the two of them became more familiar with each other than before.
At five o’clock in the evening, the helicopter finally entered the capital’s range.
Meanwhile, the sky was gradually getting dark.
In the distant sky, the dim yellow sun was falling at a constant speed. The buzzing sound of the engine rang in Wu Mo’s ears without end. He looked at the high sky outside the window and gazed at the endless sea of trees below, feeling somewhat emotional.
He had transformed from a dejected youth to his present self. He was a genius filled with dazzling light, and only he himself could understand the hardships he had experienced.
Now that his parents and sister would be properly settled, he would feel more at ease and be able to throw himself into forging as much as he wanted.
“Mr. Zhou, we’ve already entered the airspace above Jingdu base city. We will arrive at the fifth Artifact Research Department in about ten minutes.”
Just then, a young pilot in his 30s spoke from the cockpit of the helicopter.
Zhou Jinlong nodded. He immediately took out his phone and prepared to make a call. He wanted the Research Department to make preparations to receive him.
At that moment, Wu Mo was somewhat tense.
He had never been to an unfamiliar place before. A Research Department that was on the General Assembly’s level, as well as a working environment where everyone was akin to dragons, caused him to feel quite a bit of pressure.
Nevertheless, as the saying went, when there was pressure, there was motivation.
Wu Mo was somewhat impatient. He really wanted to display his strength in his field and contribute to the country.
It was 5.30 pm.
Looking down from the helicopter, he could already see the outline of the entire base city clearly.
Jingdu was a standard base city, covering an area of nearly 20,000 kilometers.
The current population area was divided into three administrative divisions.
For example, Changkang Village, where he was previously, and the surrounding bridge town belonged to the rural area.
As for Lin Chang and Shanglin City, they were satellite cities that could accommodate several hundred thousand people.
All the facilities in the satellite cities were complete, and there was also the official strategic deployment army.
However, compared with the base cities, their economic development was still several times behind.
The strongest in those satellite cities were only six-star blacksmiths or six-star cultivators.
As for seven-star and even stronger masters or experts, they were all gathered in the base city.That was the only space suitable for their development.
While flying in the air, Wu Mo could vaguely see through the helicopter’s window a shield that had a protective effect. The light shield was like an upside-down bowl, encompassing the entire city.
It did not take long for the helicopter to enter the protective shield’s domain. After flying for a few minutes, they finally arrived at their destination.
Looking down from the sky, the streets at the center of Jingdu base city were flashing with colorful neon lights.
Seven or eight tall buildings with dozens of floors stood tall. A wide river separated them, and the bridges crossing the river interweaved with each other.
The fifth Research Department was located in this commercial area where every inch of land was expensive.
It occupied an area of tens of thousands of square meters, which was different from the dense office buildings around it.
There were few buildings in the Research Department, and vegetation covered more than 60% of its grounds. The Research Department with all kinds of high-tech was orderly, and the entire row on the right was full of researchers’ rest houses.
In the middle of the entire Research Department, there was a spacious six-story building. On top of the building, there was a long runway and a strategic deployment area. A few tanks could be vaguely seen around it. It felt very safe.
“Zi Zi… This is the tower. Helicopter 0537 has landed on the second runway. I repeat…”
At this moment, in the cockpit, the pilots were communicating with the Research Department’s tower. Very quickly, they descended to a height of more than ten meters.
Then, they successfully stopped on the runway.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you over to report to the department while it’s still early.”
Zhou Jinlong got up and got off the plane. Wu Mo tidied his clothes and followed him with some excitement.
The two of them took the elevator down to the first floor. With Zhou Jinlong around, all the checkpoints were unimpeded. Wu Mo was not questioned the entire time.
“The working environment here is not bad. You only need to work six hours a day. Of course, if you can work overtime on certain days, you can also leave work early,” Zhou Jinlong said as he walked with the documents in his hands.
As Wu Mo walked on the asphalt road, he looked at the surrounding scenery and could not take his eyes off it.
The entire Research Department’s design was very simple and beautiful. The scenery on the road was beautiful, and all kinds of flowers, as well as plants that could not be named, were fighting with each other.
Under the sunset’s glow, the rockery, escalator, pavilion, and flower field were all covered with a layer of gold. Not only did it relax people’s minds, but it also added to their enjoyment while they were on the road.
Smelling the fragrance of the grass in the air and listening to the birds chirping on the treetops made the beautiful scene intoxicating.
It was not inferior to the auditorium that they had been to before.
“How is it? The environment here is not bad, right? Come and take a look after work. The tiredness of the day has disappeared.”
Zhou Jinlong noticed that Wu Mo was a little lost in his thoughts, so he immediately smiled and introduced the place.
“It’s fine… It’s no surprise that you’re still not used to it since I just arrived. It’ll be fine after a long time. Our fifth branch not only has many low-key master blacksmiths but also rare books that you’ve never heard of.
“Our branch mainly studies various types of light military equipment for individual soldiers. You’ll slowly understand this place after you report.”
