33: Chapter 33 My Girlfriend Arrives

With everything that needed to be said finished, Minister Long stood up.

"Everyone, let's go and see our mech warrior. Isn't that one of the purposes of your trip?"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up, and Academician Chen led the way.

In the data center, Li Gang and the others were still busy.

They didn't see the group of top leaders arrive, so Academician Chen hurriedly called out:

"Everyone, stop for a moment and see who has come to visit you all?"

Everyone looked up, and upon seeing Minister Long and the others, they immediately stood up straight.

"Hello, Minister! Hello, Chiefs!"

"Haha, don't listen to Old Chen's nonsense. Keep busy. Your Chief Engineer Chu is here to accompany you, and that's enough."

"Yes, Minister!"

Chu Ge accompanied Minister Long and his group up the elevator.

It was the first time for the Chiefs to see [Soul Blade], and the feeling was far more shocking than on the big screen.

"Academician Chu, what is the main weapon of [Soul Blade]?"

Commander Meng probably hadn't heard about the mech warrior project for long, so he was a bit confused about the specifics.

"Oh, the main weapon of [Soul Blade] is the laser system on its back, modified from the 'Prism Tower'."

"Its range and damage capabilities are significantly higher than current lasers, so we'll just call it the laser system for now."

"The secondary weapons are its hands. The right hand has a light blade; even the hardest diamond is vulnerable before it."

"The left hand is a heavy fist that can easily flatten a 60-ton heavy tank!"

Chu Ge introduced it in detail to the big shots, and everyone, including Minister Long, was listening carefully.

"These are just superficial features. The high-tech it possesses isn't limited to just these one or two things, right, Xiaohua?"

Minister Long turned and looked affectionately at a lieutenant general wearing a blue military uniform.

Yu Xiaohua was the Air Force commander, hmm, the big boss of the Flying Dragon Squadron!

"Haha, I'm ashamed! Ashamed! When they returned that day, my soldiers were stunned. They just kept saying, 'I've seen a ghost!'"

"So I had to hurry over to see this [Soul Blade] that beat my men to a pulp."

"Hahaha!"

When the elevator reached the highest point, [Soul Blade] timely raised its titanium alloy head.

[Soul Blade]: "Minister Long, Chiefs, Mech Warrior [Soul Blade] reporting to you!"

It then gave a standard military salute.

"It can even talk?"

"Simple communication is no problem!"

The faint blue light in [Soul Blade]'s eyes revealed a chill, its cheeks were full of mechanical aesthetics, and the thick chest armor covering its energy core radiated a sense of metallic texture and surging power everywhere.

The Chiefs looked at the mech warrior standing before them, silent for a long time.

For them, they might need some time to digest this new behemoth.

...

Minister Long and the others didn't linger long. Although this visit was short, the harvest was plentiful.

Chu Ge, Academician Chen, and several leaders of the base escorted them to the airport.

"Little Chu, come visit me when you have time. My door is always open for you."

Minister Long turned and said earnestly to Chu Ge just before getting into the car.

"Yes!"

Chu Ge hurriedly replied, but Academician Chen nearby frowned a little.

"Why does that sound so familiar!"

Chu Ge stayed at the weapons testing base for another day. After confirming that Li Gang and the others could solve problems on their own, he returned to Yanjing with Academician Chen.

In the Northwest Gobi Desert, the environment is dry, and the wind, carrying fine sand, makes it hard for people to open their eyes.

In such an environment, not only is it difficult for plants to survive, but it is also actually very uncomfortable for people.

Just after getting off the plane and returning to the human world, Chu Ge felt his skin breathing in the moist air, making up for the moisture lost in the Gobi Desert these past days.

He also made a show of taking deep breaths of air,

"Academician Chen, I might need to take a few days off in the next two days. My girlfriend is coming to Yanjing, hehe."

"Sure, just let the institute know when the time comes. It's time for a rest anyway. Look at you, your eyes are all bloodshot!"

Academician Chen couldn't help but feel heartache looking at Chu Ge's haggard appearance.

Returning to the Research Institute, Chu Ge first took a shower and then started to catch up on sleep. This sleep lasted until the next day.

Chu Ge got up and checked his phone. There were two text messages from Dilireba Nazha.

"You big hooligan, I'm going to Yanjing tomorrow? Are you back?"

"Playing disappear again, just wait, hmph!"

Chu Ge checked the time of the messages—last night. Alright, he was sleepwalking back then.

Chu Ge thought about it and simply called back. The ringing connected after about 10 seconds.

"I just got back yesterday. I was too tired, so I washed up and went straight to sleep. I just saw your messages!"

"I knew it, you pighead!"

The background noise in Dilireba Nazha's microphone was very loud. Her soft, cute voice was mixed in; although quiet, it was highly recognizable.

"My event is starting soon. I won't talk to you for now. Send me a location, and I'll come find you when I'm done. Okay, I'm hanging up!"

"Mm!"

After sending the location, Chu Ge put down the phone.

"Seems she didn't say when it would end. Forget it, let's go check the lab first."

He got up and groomed himself,

"Oh oh oh, I am the handsome Brother Chu!"

An unbearable tune rang out in the bathroom. Fortunately, Chu Ge's classmates were not there.

...

Unable to stay idle, Chu Ge turned and went to the laboratory.

The colleagues in charge of the neutrino detector greeted him when they saw him coming.

Chu Ge's status in the Research Institute was rising, and he was already like a veteran-level existence.

Wang Yun ran up to Chu Ge.

"Academician Chu, Old Chen said you needed to rest for a few days, so we didn't dare to disturb you."

This girl was afraid that Chu Ge would be angry because they didn't go to greet him when he returned.

"That was the plan, but I couldn't stay idle, so I came to check. Haha, the environment in Yanjing is still better. Look at our Wang Yun, you've become even prettier."

"No way?"

Wang Yun's face turned bright red, looking very cute.

"How is the 'telescope project' going? When are you going over to assemble it?"

Chu Ge didn't notice Wang Yun's shy appearance and asked anxiously while looking at the equipment.

"Reporting to Academician Chu, the debugging is almost done. We should be going over to install it in the next two days."

"The bunker side is also urging us, saying that if we don't speed up, it might affect their construction!"

"Don't worry about them. You control it according to your own pace. Be careful. Sometimes, mistakes in haste happen exactly like that!"

"Yes!"

With Academician Chu's endorsement, they stood taller.

"I'll join you!"

After saying that, Chu Ge started verifying the data with them.

Near noon, a guard walked over.

"Academician Chu, there is a girl at the main gate looking for you, saying she is your girlfriend?"

"She is wearing a mask, and our soldiers couldn't see her face clearly. Due to discipline, they didn't dare let her in casually, so I came over to confirm."

"Oh, okay, I'll go with you!"

After saying that, Chu Ge hurriedly walked toward the main gate with the guard.

"Girlfriend? I remember our Academician Chu's girlfriend seems to be a big star."

"Dilireba Nazha, don't you remember? It was exposed a while ago. I was shocked at the time. Speaking of which, Dilireba Nazha is so beautiful, and our Academician Chu is a genius. A perfect match!"

"Exactly, exactly, it's really enviable!"

"Are you envious of Academician Chu's talent? Or his good fortune with women?"

"Need you ask?"

"Hahaha!"

Wang Yun rolled her eyes at this bunch of outspoken guys, stomped her feet, and ran away.
