52: Chapter 52 You've traveled back in time, haven't you?

Three days later, when Wang Xiuming arrived at the Innovation Building again...

...he froze in shock.

This...

Was this really Zhou Xiyue and An Ruoyun?

He hadn't misidentified them, had he?

When he saw them a few days ago, they still looked decent, just a bit lacking in energy.

What was going on now?

Both of their hair seemed to have thinned out quite a bit, and their faces had even become gaunt.

Their eyes were completely bloodshot.

If they went out and told people that Wang Xiuming was abusing them,

Hongqi would probably become famous overnight across the entire internet as an unscrupulous company.

"You... how did you end up like this?"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked, because the moment the words left his mouth,

the two of them glared at Wang Xiuming like resentful wives.

"Are you even hearing yourself?"

If it weren't for the new Power System, would they have ended up like this?

It was about to crush the entire world; how could they not be excited? How could they not be thrilled?

Once they got excited and thrilled, didn't they just work even harder?

Thus, they ended up in their current state.

"I've realized that you're perfect for giving speeches to students at schools!"

"If they listened to you, they'd probably all become straight-A students!"

Zhou Xiyue complained helplessly. Ever since she heard about the new Power System from Wang Xiuming a few days ago,

the two of them had been as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

How could they rest? Their minds were completely filled with this Power System.

And that materials expert was simply too powerful.

Just as they finished testing the data and wanted to change to a new material,

he identified the most suitable material at a single glance.

On top of that, it was the most cost-effective option.

What kind of god-like figure was he?

This made their work progress extremely fast. In just three short days, they had built the elantra equipped with the new Power System.

Of course, this elantra was just a shell.

As for the rest, it depended on when the new Power System could be successfully developed.

Since Wang Xiuming had come to the Innovation Building, it naturally meant that the new Power System had been developed and the first batch had already been produced.

Just like Zhou Xiyun and the other, progress over at Hongqi Power was also very fast.

Because the employees produced by the system were equally efficient.

Slacking off or taking paid bathroom breaks?

That was simply impossible.

Their lives were basically a simple routine of three points and one line.

Dormitory, cafeteria, factory.

"Thi... This is the new Power System?"

"You're not joking with us, are you?"

When the two of them saw the Engine Wang Xiuming brought out, they could hardly believe their eyes.

This was an Engine?

It was clearly just a metal box, alright?

Pitch black and perfectly square.

This was their evaluation of the new Power System.

"That's right. This is the Engine we've newly developed."

"Compared to other Engines at the same price point, this Engine can achieve twenty percent of the fuel consumption with twice the power."

Wang Xiuming nodded and pointed at the Engine in front of them.

"Are you kidding me?"

"How is that possible?"

Zhou Xiyue and An Ruoyun wondered if they had traveled through time.

How could an Engine of this caliber appear right before their eyes?

Twenty percent of the fuel consumption, twice the power?

If this were used in the elantra, given the same price point,

it would completely dominate the low-end car market!

"Yes, that's exactly how it is."

Wang Xiuming shrugged, clearly having anticipated their reactions.

"For now, let's make a shell for the shadow t1 and install the Power System."

"Let's run some simple tests to get the initial data first."

Wang Xiuming instructed.

The new Power System had been produced, and the basic architecture of the shadow t1 was also complete.

Now, they were just waiting for production on the assembly line.

Once all the data was tested and a few adjustments were made, they could go straight into mass production.

"No problem!"

Zhou Xiyue looked excited; they had been looking forward to this for a long time.

Without waiting for Wang Xiuming to react, she dragged An Ruoyun straight to the lab.

She wanted to hold a meeting and start production right now!

She didn't want to wait even a single second!

...

Within three days, Zhou Xiyun completed all the work.

Wang Xiuming dragged the two girls straight to the staff dormitory.

No matter what they said, he insisted that they rest.

How could this go on?

If they kept this up, they would literally work themselves to death at Hongqi.

No matter how much the two of them begged and pleaded, wanting to see the data after the prototype's installation,

Wang Xiuming refused to agree.

However, so that they could witness the moment the data was tested,

Wang Xiuming still waited for them to wake up before conducting the tests.

As it turned out, once they rested, they slept for a whole day and night.

If the doctor at the clinic hadn't said their vital signs were normal, Wang Xiuming would have started buying joss paper.

But to Wang Xiuming's pleasant surprise, his system points were finally enough!

Without a second thought, Wang Xiuming directly purchased the New Energy Vehicle Control System!

At the same time, the system also gifted Wang Xiuming an expert in new energy control systems.

Unfortunately, this expert continued the system's usual style.

A wretched, miserable old man.

Wang Xiuming casually gave him the name Qian Weisan.

For this control system, Wang Xiuming directly sent Qian Weisan to teach Zhou Xiyue.

After all, this girl was particularly interested in car modifications.

He believed that once Zhou Xiyue realized what she was learning, she wouldn't even be able to close her mouth in shock.

"Wang Xiuming, are you some kind of deity?"

"Or are you actually a time traveler from the future?"

"How do you know how to do everything!"

Zhou Xiyue was completely shocked. How could these era-defining technologies appear one after another?

And most importantly, they were all thrown right in her face one after another.

The perfection of this New Energy Vehicle Control System was simply beyond her belief.

"Take your time to learn. We can also start testing the shadow t1 now."

The next day.

A shadow t1 was parked below the Hongqi headquarters.

After a night of hard work, this car finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.

This shadow t1 featured brand-new materials paired with the new Power System.

If you took just this one car out, people would easily believe it if you said it was a high-end car worth a million.

With this perfect exterior, who wouldn't be mesmerized?

Plus, it had 280 horsepower and a fuel consumption of 2.45 liters per hundred kilometers.

With all this, the cost of the entire car had already exceeded 150,000 yuan.

"President Wang, it's time for us to head out!"

Inside the shadow t1, Zhou Xiyue sat in the driver's seat, wearing a miniskirt and fishnet stockings, paired with black-and-blue hair.

She was simply an irresistible little temptress.

In contrast, An Ruoyun was much quieter.

Wearing a traditional long dress, lightly made up, her black hair fluttering, and with a slightly bashful face, she looked like a fairy stepping out of a painting.

As for the passenger seat...

...that was naturally reserved for Wang Xiuming!

After the shadow t1 was built, Zhou Xiyue and An Ruoyun could hardly wait to try it out.

They had just finished testing all the data yesterday.
