151: Defense system development and installation completed

Early the next morning, Liu Xiaolin drove to Wanderer Aerospace. On the way, he called the Minister of Comprehensive Department and asked him to notify all senior executives to attend a meeting promptly at eight o'clock.

When he walked into the conference room, it was exactly eight o'clock, and the room was filled with attendees.

Niu De was very strange. He had been busy analyzing test flight data these past few days, so why would they suddenly think of holding a meeting? And so urgently?

When he saw Liu Xiaolin walk into the conference room, he felt as if something big was happening because of the very serious expression on Liu Xiaolin's face.

"Today's meeting is to discuss a significant matter," Liu Xiaolin said seriously.

All along, Liu Xiaolin had been the smiling young man in everyone's eyes, but his suddenly serious expression today put quite a bit of pressure on everyone.

"Yesterday, I went back to New Hope to receive a guest from Beautiful Country..." Liu Xiaolin recounted everything that happened yesterday in detail, but he didn't mention the honey trap part; after all, that was a bit embarrassing.

"What? Beautiful Country wants to charter wanderer one? You didn't agree?" Zhang Weichen was very surprised. "Why didn't you agree? It's profitable and not illegal, why wouldn't you agree? You know our expenses are huge; only by recouping funds can we better proceed with the next step of research."

Niu De glanced at Zhang Weichen, took a breath, and said, "Fortunately, General Manager Liu's idea was different from yours, otherwise we would be in big trouble. How could our civilian spaceplane be leased for use by Beautiful Country's military?"

"General Manager Liu did the right thing; I think so too." Other senior executives also voiced their opinions.

The vast majority of the staff thought Liu Xiaolin did the right thing.

"But, our wanderer one doesn't have a Defense System at all! If Beautiful Country takes action against us, won't it all be destroyed?" Zhang Weichen said with lingering fear.

"So, I brought a design drawing of a Defense System. Take a look; researching and installing this Defense System shouldn't be too difficult. It should be achievable within this week, right?" Liu Xiaolin took out the design drawing of the Defense System and handed it to Niu De.

After looking at the drawing, Niu De exclaimed loudly, "This set of Defense Systems is amazing! It's even more powerful than the Defense System of a genuine military spaceplane!"

The other researchers also curiously took it to look and were amazed.

"Just in case, I agree to install this set of Defense Systems!" Niu De was the first to state his position.

Then other researchers also agreed one after another. Later, Zhang Weichen also realized the importance of Space security and agreed.

They decided to get to work immediately, but the research, development, and installation of this Defense System could not be publicized externally, because if the public knew that a civilian spaceplane was actually installing a Defense System, it would definitely cause another uproar.

"We will complete the research and development work in the laboratory now and then proceed with internal installation after the entire system is finished. Anyway, the internal installation footage won't be visible in the live stream room. If asked, just say it's a routine inspection." Liu Xiaolin had already thought of a foolproof plan on the way here.

"Okay, this method is feasible, I agree," Niu De said. "Furthermore, I suggest we divide our scientific research experts into two groups: one group continues to analyze the test flight data, and the other group begins researching and developing the Defense System. This two-pronged approach will save time."

"Okay, that's a good idea. Engineer Niu, you can arrange it," Liu Xiaolin nodded and said.

The research on the test flight data indeed could not stop at this moment because it involved whether there were other points that needed improvement for wanderer one in the later stage. Therefore, a two-pronged approach was the best method.

They immediately got to work. Niu De assigned the task of test flight data analysis to Zhang Weichen, while he himself led a group of people to begin the research, development, and production of the Defense System.

Netizens in the live stream room suddenly noticed staff members entering the workshop in twos and threes, wondering if they were going inside wanderer one and then coming out quickly.

They didn't know that the staff were measuring the required Space for the Defense System.

The utility compartment next to the cockpit was cleared out, providing just enough Space to accommodate the Defense System.

"What's going on? Are they starting research and development again? Is something wrong with our big baby, or what?"

"Engineer Niu, can you tell us what's happening? We're very worried."

"Everyone, there's no need to worry. wanderer one is excellent; there are no problems at all. We are just providing it with safety protection. With this protection, the safety of wanderer one during interstellar travel will be greatly increased. Don't worry, it's nothing serious," Niu De explained.

"That's good, that's good. I was worried that our wanderer one would have problems. It's good that there are none."

"I'm not worried. I know our family's big baby has no problems at all. Hehe."

"Of course you're not worried, aren't you called Li Dadan? Haha."

"This is called being bold because of one's skill, understand?"

"You're just bragging!"

Niu De didn't bother to talk nonsense with the netizens anymore. He hurriedly took the drawing and ducked into the cockpit of wanderer one.

After remeasuring the area and confirming that a complete set of Defense Systems could fit perfectly here, he walked back to the laboratory.

After three days of research and development, the Defense System was all completed, and it looked very concealed, as if a whole piece of miscellaneous item was stored in the utility compartment.

"General Manager Liu, the Defense System has been installed. Should we conduct another test flight?" Niu De asked.

"I think we should conduct another test flight specifically for the Defense System." Liu Xiaolin felt it was right to do another test flight to be cautious.

"Will it be live-streamed this time?" Niu De was a little worried.

"Of course, it will be live-streamed, but we can block it for ten minutes in the middle under the pretext of deviating from the orbit, and use these ten minutes for the Defense System drill," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"That's a good idea, I agree," Niu De said. "Also, today's test flight data is out, and all the data and performance are very good. It's favorable for the test flight."

"Then I'll inform the netizens in the live stream room now and give them a big surprise," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

The fans of wanderer one would definitely be especially happy if they knew there would be another test flight.

As expected, when Liu Xiaolin in front of the camera announced that the second test flight of wanderer one would take place tomorrow, the screen erupted in cheers.

"Oh, the big baby can go up to Space and play around again. That's great!"

"Then I'll have to stay in the live stream room tomorrow and not go anywhere."

"Me too, tomorrow is my day off, so I can watch the big baby's test flight with peace of mind."

"You guys are so lucky, unlike me, I still have to go to work and do manual labor, but I'll sneak a peek and watch for a while."
