You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 34
Chapter 34: That Thing… Might Be Expired!
A sword flight journey that would take ten minutes took four or five hours because I was forced to take the high-speed rail.
“Ah, I’m dead tired! ”
Xie Yingqing stretched as soon as she got off the train: “If I have to take the high-speed rail every time, I really don’t know if I should come out! ”
“Exactly, the high-speed rail is too slow! ”
Su Qin’an echoed: “I must develop something new, at least to make the high-speed rail faster than my sword flight! ”
“For example, ten minutes from the Imperial Capital to Mobei? ”
Xie Yingqing laughed: “Then you just keep waiting! Add oil! ”
Five minutes later, the two people were standing at the familiar base entrance.
“You work here? ”
Xie Yingqing curiously looked around: “… No, this environment, this base, is it really okay to be so obvious? ”
On a vast yellow sand wasteland, a huge base with a simple yet technologically advanced appearance lay on the ground, like a majestic lion, overlooking the world.
“It’s okay, anyway, we have already broken through the technological barriers for some technologies, and some thieves won’t be able to see the real scene. As for the environment… there’s no way around it, controllable nuclear fusion needs to be experimented with, and there’s a possibility of explosion. Besides, China’s first hydrogen bomb was detonated nearby, so it’s normal for it to be desolate. ”
Su Qin’an smiled, pulling Xie Yingqing into a space: “Come on, let’s go see what my team members are doing now! ”
The two people quietly climbed over the front gate and entered the base. Xie Yingqing couldn’t help but laugh: “Who does their job like a thief like you? ”
“You don’t understand! ”
Su Qin’an looked serious: “This is to maintain freshness and prevent me from getting sick of my job! ”
“Tch, you’re so full of reasons! ”
Xie Yingqing smiled: “Introduce them? ”
“Okay. Look, the one who is tearing a piece of paper and drawing talismans is Sun Ruilei. Don’t look at him now, he’s very serious, when I first came here, I spent a lot of effort to subdue him! ”
Speaking of this, Su Qin’an seemed to have opened a floodgate, telling Xie Yingqing everything about his life at the base in detail, eager to make up for the months they weren’t together.
Xie Yingqing didn’t show any sign of annoyance, and listened attentively.
“So the metal you made needs to be nurtured with spiritual energy? ”
Xie Yingqing laughed after listening: “No wonder mass production is not allowed! Even if they want to mass-produce it, where are they going to find spiritual energy! ”
“Ahem… Look, the one who is staring at the nuclear reactor—that platform—in a daze is Old Li, Li Weimin. Let me tell you, this guy is an old workaholic. If I hadn’t solved the material problem, he might have stayed up countless nights to solve this… ”
“That’s Old Zhang, Zhang Xian, he’s playing… Landlord??? ”
Su Qin’an stopped halfway when he noticed the problem, and kicked the door open: “Old Zhang! What are you doing! ”
“Damn! ”
Zhang Xian was startled, and almost dropped his cell phone: “You are… Team Leader?! Why don’t you follow martial virtue!! A surprise attack?!”
Su Qin’an kicked the door open and found Zhang Xian squatting on the toilet, feeling like he needed a crack in the earth to hide.
“Ah, Old Zhang… ”
Su Qin’an quickly saved face: “That… your Landlord game is pretty good! ”
Zhang Xian nodded blankly: “Not bad, not bad. By the way, Team Leader, why are you here? Old Li didn’t tell me! ”
“Old Zhang! What are you doing! ”
Sun Ruilei outside knocked on the door: “Who are you calling? Come out quickly! I need to use the toilet too! ”
Zhang Xian suddenly opened the door: “The Team Leader is here! ”
As a result, because Sun Ruilei was standing too close to the door, a dull sound came from his head…
“I… ”
Sun Ruilei tried to suppress his desire to curse: “Can you be gentler when you open the door! ”
“Uh… sorry, sorry! ”
Zhang Xian quickly went to the washbasin next to him, scooped some ice water and splashed it on Sun Ruilei’s head: “Here, put some ice on it! ”
“Old Zhang! You old rascal! ”
“Old Sun, why are you so angry? ”
Su Qin’an walked out with a smile: “So angry to see me? ”
“I… I rely! Team Leader! Why are you here! ”
When Sun Ruilei saw Su Qin’an, he forgot his anger and pain, strode forward, and gave Su Qin’an a bear hug: “When did you arrive? Old Li didn’t send anyone to pick you up! And who is this next to you… ”
After hearing Sun Ruilei’s words, Zhang Xian noticed Xie Yingqing, who looked beautiful and flawless: “This… Qin’an, won’t you introduce us? We should get to know each other. ”
“Ahem, Old Sun, look. ” Su Qin’an took Xie Yingqing’s hand, interlocked their fingers and showed Sun Ruilei: “As for entering the base… it’s a small problem, I’ll have her sign a confidentiality agreement later! ”
Su Qin’an didn’t know much about the Mortal Realm, and when he brought Xie Yingqing in, he really didn’t remember that the research base was a secret base that required confidentiality.
Xie Yingqing’s face turned slightly red, she pulled Su Qin’an’s hand and gave him a questioning look.
Su Qin’an understood immediately: “Controllable nuclear fusion is a state secret and cannot be leaked. I wasn’t considerate enough when I came, I didn’t think of this. Now that you’re in, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that you can’t tell anyone what you’ve seen here. ”
Xie Yingqing nodded in understanding.
“No way, is she your girlfriend? ”
Sun Ruilei saw their intertwined hands, his eyes widened: “How come?! Your girlfriend is so beautiful! ”
“If I’m not mistaken, your girlfriend shouldn’t be an adult yet, right? ”
Zhang Xian said meaningfully: “Young people are full of energy! ”
“What are you guys doing…?” Li Weimin walked over from the laboratory, frowned: “Hmm? Qin’an, why are you here? You didn’t tell us to prepare. And her? Did Qin’an bring her? Remember to have her sign the confidentiality agreement, after all, this job is special. Miss, please understand. ”
“See, he’s a workaholic! ”
Su Qin’an smiled helplessly at Xie Yingqing, then looked at Li Weimin: “Let me introduce you, Xie Yingqing, my girlfriend, she’ll sign the confidentiality agreement later. ”
“This young girl is pretty! ”
Li Weimin praised: “May you have many children… no, may you have a happy marriage… that’s not right either… ”
Seeing their increasingly dark expressions, Li Weimin quickly said: “It means what it means, I won’t say it, those who understand understand, those who don’t understand pretend to understand! ”
“Old Li, you should stop talking! ” Zhang Xian patted Li Weimin on the shoulder: “The more you say, the worse it gets! ”

“By the way, why did the Team Leader suddenly come over? ” Li Weimin asked: “The research here is still going smoothly, but we’re still stuck at the previous point. ”
“Right, Old Li reminded me! ”
Sun Ruilei said: “The metal you made before, we tried refining some more according to your method, but their melting points are too low, they all melt at 70 million degrees! We tried many methods, but we couldn’t change this situation. ”
Xie Yingqing couldn’t help but laugh. After sensing Sun Ruilei’s questioning gaze, she explained that she was just thinking of something happy, not taunting anyone.
“Ah, about that… ”
Su Qin’an coughed: “That thing… should be expired, right? ”
“Can metal expire? This is the first time I’ve heard of it! ”
Li Weimin curiously said: “Then what should we do? ”
Su Qin’an quickly entered the Experience Mall, found the extremely high-temperature resistant “Molten Steel”, glanced at its 150,000 Experience Points price, gritted his teeth, and chose to buy it!
The next moment, a complete set of methods for refining “Molten Steel” appeared in his mind, very detailed.
“Here, I’ll give you a new set of production methods later, you can give it to the specialists for mass production. ”
Su Qin’an said: “Oh, remember to arrange a place for us to live! “
