Chapter 178 So young, and she's the head of the department?
Old Zhao's eyes widened in sheer disbelief.
"A Nuclear Reactor can actually be moved here?"
"This is truly unheard of!"
His voice trembled slightly; he was clearly deeply shocked by this news.
Su Chen appeared much calmer and explained with a smile:
"Old Zhao, we modularized the Nuclear Reactor, so it's quite simple to transport."
"That still doesn't sound simple!"
"It's a good thing we have the Space Mecha. If other countries tried to do this, it might just stump them to death!"
Looking at the massive Space Mecha.
Old Zhao frowned, raising his concern once again:
"You came over just like that; won't the target be too big?"
"You can't let anyone photograph you!"
Although the Dragon Kingdom is now powerful enough not to worry about secrets being exposed, it's always right to be careful!
Furthermore, the Space Mecha is still a trump card for them!
It definitely shouldn't be easily revealed!
Su Chen answered confidently:
"It shouldn't be an issue; we took the space route."
"The space route? What does that mean?"
Old Zhao was full of confusion; he truly couldn't imagine how a Nuclear Reactor could be transported via a space route.
Su Chen pointed to the Space Mecha in the sky, and the next second, Old Zhao realized everything.
"Oh, I understand. These are Space Mecha, after all—guys that can roam through space."
Old Zhao was overcome with emotion; he really was an old fool to not have thought of this.
Su Chen continued to explain:
"To be precise, it wasn't entirely through space!"
"I was worried the mecha would be spotted by satellites in space, so we didn't really take a space route, but rather the murky atmospheric layer between the planet and space."
Old Zhao was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but exclaim:
"You kid are really clever!"
His admiration for Su Chen grew even more.
Actually, if it were just the Space Mecha heading to the Southern Sea Area, it wouldn't need to be this complicated at all!
After all, the Space Mecha can turn invisible.
It can fly in the sky however it wants without worrying about being discovered!
But the Nuclear Reactor modules can't turn invisible with it!
If it could turn nearby objects invisible too, that would be too sci-fi!
And Su Chen's method of having the Space Mecha take the space route was undoubtedly the safest.
At this moment, Old Zhao's curiosity was completely piqued. He looked at the two modularized Nuclear Fusion Reactor units and couldn't help but ask:
"Then... what are these two Nuclear Reactor units used for?"
Su Chen patiently explained:
"The Aerospace Carrier is massive and consumes a lot of energy! A huge portion of that goes to the Anti-gravity Engine!"
"And these two Nuclear Reactor units are primarily for powering the Aerospace Carrier's Anti-gravity Engine."
"Anti-gravity Engine? What kind of thing is that?"
Old Zhao couldn't keep up with Su Chen's thinking at all; he felt as if he were in a world filled with mysterious technology.
Su Chen smiled slightly and said:
"That's the core component of the Aerospace Carrier!"
"Whether the Aerospace Carrier can fly or not depends entirely on the Anti-gravity Engine!"
Old Zhao was stunned for a moment. So that was it.
Speaking of which, Su Chen was filled with anticipation.
"Right, Old Zhao, what stage has the Aerospace Carrier research reached?"
He turned to ask Old Zhao about the Aerospace Carrier's manufacturing progress.
He had been busy with the Eternal Day Project and the Anti-gravity Engine these past few days!
The manufacturing work for the Aerospace Carrier had been completely handed over to Old Zhao.
In any case, Su Chen had already donated all the blueprints and technology to the country.
With the capability of the Dragon Kingdom's scientific researchers, they couldn't build the Anti-gravity Engine, but constructing the Aerospace Carrier's frame wasn't too difficult.
Only if there were insurmountable problems would Su Chen step in.
However, these researchers had always been quite professional and never gave Su Chen a chance to step in.
It was mainly because the preliminary work was done so thoroughly!
Therefore, Su Chen hadn't been very clear about the Aerospace Carrier's manufacturing progress all this time.
Old Zhao chuckled and even played coy:
"You brat, you've been an absentee manager all this time!"
"Why don't you guess what stage our Aerospace Carrier manufacturing has reached?"
Su Chen pondered for a moment and said with a smile:
"I suppose the most basic skeleton has been completed, right?"
Old Zhao laughed:
"Who are you looking down on?"
"Since you're here, it's time to take a tour! Come with me; you'll know how the Aerospace Carrier's manufacturing is progressing in a moment."
After saying that, he took Su Chen to a massive manufacturing base.
Looking from afar, the manufacturing base resembled a giant mountain forged of steel, standing towering and majestic.
Its footprint was vast and boundless, its massive silhouette outlining a breathtaking landscape against the skyline.
The exterior of the base was covered in a sturdy protective coating, which appeared a deep, dark blue, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
The coating not only possessed excellent impact resistance but could also effectively withstand erosion from various harsh environments.
This manufacturing base was approved for construction by the higher-ups after the Aerospace Carrier project was implemented.
Because the task was extremely significant, the Dragon Kingdom once again demonstrated its prowess as a "infrastructure maniac."
Tens of thousands of workers and thousands of Engineers were directly invested in the construction of this base.
It took less than a month to complete this massive manufacturing base.
As Su Chen walked into the base, a person in charge walked over and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Chief Engineer Su, Old Zhao, you're here!"
Old Zhao introduced him with a chuckle:
"This is the executive person in charge for the Aerospace Carrier project, Engineer Xu Zheng!"
"Come on, Little Xu! Show Chief Engineer Su our manufacturing progress. He said we've only built a frame?"
Su Chen's mouth twitched, and he shot a glare at the old man beside him:
"You old rascal, you're really bad. Can you say that in front of an outsider?"
The person in charge looked at Su Chen and smiled:
"Chief Engineer Su, you're in for a surprise."
"Please, this way!"
Then, he led Su Chen and Old Zhao inside.
At this moment, a group of researchers also walked in, and everyone greeted Old Zhao one after another!
As the Top Leader of the Dragon Aviation manufacturing base, Old Zhao held a very high status in the hearts of these people!
However, they unintentionally overlooked Su Chen, the young man!
They assumed Su Chen was Old Zhao's secretary.
The person in charge then pointed at Su Chen and introduced him to them:
"This is our Chief Engineer Su, the General Project Lead for this project."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded.
They widened their eyes, looking at Su Chen as if they were looking at an unbelievable existence.
"So young, he feels like a student, and yet..."
"Is the General Project Lead?"
