Chapter 189: Accepting the Project

Even though the forging space could slow down the passage of time, he still could not balance out the amount of mental energy he had consumed.
Unless he became a six-star blacksmith, it would be difficult to maintain a balance between consumption and replenishment.
Thinking of this, Wu Mo suppressed his desire for knowledge. He closed his eyes and imagined his whole body falling.
A wondrous feeling immediately made him leave the forging space and return to his bedroom in the villa.
Looking at the open notebook before him, Wu Mo stood up and promptly put it back in the desk drawer.
He then pushed open the bedroom door and entered the bathroom to wash up.
Wu Mo changed into a new set of clothes and quickly went downstairs.
He looked at the time. It was already past eight in the morning.
He had stayed in the forging space for a few hours, but only a few minutes had passed in the real world.
After Wu Mo pushed open the courtyard door, he walked briskly toward the canteen.
Flowers, grass, and trees stood quietly on either side of the smooth asphalt road.
He also saw many unknown white and pink flowers.
Occasionally, he would also meet researchers in white lab coats.
At 9.00 am, Wu Mo finished his meal and left the cafeteria.
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Wu Mo took his phone out and saw that Academician Xu was calling him.
“Hello… Academician Xu, what’s the matter?” Wu Mo picked up the call immediately and answered respectfully.
“Wu Mo, we’ve already put the production of the Invisibility Armor on the agenda. In a while, there will be researchers sent to our institute. I’ll have them form a mass-production research team, and you’ll be in charge of everything.”
When Wu Mo heard Academician Xu’s kind voice, he quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Academician Xu. I’m almost done with the Invisibility Armor’s improvement. I’m ready for mass production.”
“Sure, no problem.” On the other side of the phone, Xu Wuyue was surprised by Wu Mo’s speed, and he praised him right away. “I knew it. You’ll definitely be able to complete the mission.”
“However, there’s no rush for mass production in the next few days. I’m calling you specifically to talk about something else.”
“Huh?”
Wu Mo was a little confused. Other than the project, what else did Academician Xu want to talk to him about?
“The fifth Research Department has recently received a Level B project. It’s not about the improvement of standard weapons, but the design of a single combat dagger.”
Academician Xu patiently explained over the phone, “The research and development weapons this time is mainly for the convenience of the cultivators on the front lines. Currently, more than twenty researchers have taken this task.
“Although the military commander has asked you to design it, I still want to make sure you’re interested in this research and development project. Also, if this project is successful, will the mass production plan be delayed?”
Wu Mo contemplated for a moment before he answered Academician Xu’s questions.
“Academician Xu, don’t worry. The technical barriers related to the mass production plan have been mentioned in the last documented guide, and I’m confident that I can do it well.
“As for the dagger research, I think it’s necessary to participate. After all, I need to make three important technological contributions to participate in the conference. I haven’t met the requirements yet, so I can’t relax,” Wu Mo said in a serious tone while he walked with his phone in his hand.
Xu Wuyue was incredibly satisfied with Wu Mo’s answer.
He wanted to see a researcher who was willing to devote his youth to scientific research and able to endure loneliness as well as hard work.
Wu Mo’s obsession and seriousness in scientific research met his expectations completely.
“Alright, I’ve already helped you apply for it. Zhou Ning will contact you in a while. If you have any questions, you can contact me again,” Xu Wuyue said quickly.
Then, he gave Wu Mo a few more instructions and hung up.
In the office on the seventh floor of the research building, Xu Wuyue put the phone aside and swiftly entered some information into the computer.
A few days ago, a background check had been conducted on Wu Mo. The results were as expected; Wu Mo and his family had a clean background, without any stains.
Furthermore, his two parents were farmers who had worked for half of their lives.
Wu Mo’s tenacious heart and relentless efforts were both indispensable since he managed to come this far from that remote mountain area.
In comparison, his daughter, Xu Wanqing, who was so proud of her little contribution, seemed to be inferior.
Xu Wuyue looked at the floating clouds outside the window and sighed.
A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled.
On the way back, Wu Mo was a little happy.
Earlier, Academician Xu did not directly order him to take over the project. Instead, he asked for his opinion, which made him feel much better.
Even though he was highly interested in scientific research, he did not want others to dictate the direction of his study. Free exploration and happy learning were more to his rhythm.
Di di!
“¥110,000 has been transferred to your Shanglin Bank account from the fifth Research Department in Jingdu.”
Just then, a voice message came from his phone. Wu Mo took it out and learned that he had received his monthly salary again.
Being able to do the work that he liked every day and earn a salary that was many times higher than others was a happy thing for him.
With light steps, Wu Mo returned to the villa in the blink of an eye.
He then saw a black business car parked outside the villa not far away.
A girl in a black leather jacket was standing by the car door, looking at him with an inexplicable expression.
“Zhou Ning, you’re here so soon?” Wu Mo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
I’m giving a project to the second lieutenant. I wouldn’t dare be late,” Zhou Ning teased with a smile.
She and Wu Mo were like old acquaintances who had not seen each other for a long time.
“Alright, stop teasing me. Let me have a look at the document.”
Wu Mo scratched his head. He could not win an argument against Zhou Ning, so he turned around and spoke with a serious expression.
“Tsk, just you wait.”
Zhou Ning rolled her eyes at Wu Mo and immediately returned to the car before she took out the documents.
“Other researchers usually take on Level C or even Level D missions. Only you take on confidential projects every time.”
Wu Mo chose to turn a deaf ear to Zhou Ning’s complaints. He flipped open the folder and looked at the requests. To his surprise, he found that the items listed were very similar to the Spirit Wave Sword that the system had deduced earlier.
“Gasp, there is such a thing.”
Wu Mo was slightly taken aback, and there was a glint in his eyes.
“What’s wrong? Could it be that even you find it troublesome?” Zhou Ning curiously asked with her arms crossed when she saw Wu Mo’s surprised expression.
“Ahem, ahem, I don’t. I just find it too simple, that’s all.”
