The One Without a Generation Gap Arrives

"Boom~ boom~ boom~ boom~ boom..."

"The E-carbon steel wall has taken a heavy hit. Damage: 1%. Current integrity: 57%!"

Guo Yi had simulated the sounds with his mouth, while Doggie delivered the report.

And Guo Yi was not the only one who heard it. He Zhijun, the command post personnel, and the members of the special operations team currently smashing away at the wall heard it too.

Time flew by. Five days had already passed since He Zhijun and the others had surrounded Guo Yi.

Over those five days, apart from continuing work on his "Super Advanced Deuterium Core" engine and livestreaming his meals and sleep for the command post personnel, Guo Yi spent the rest of his time watching the special operations team struggle against his E-carbon steel wall!

It was far more entertaining than following a show or watching a movie!

Watching them go from flamethrowers to all kinds of strong acids and liquid nitrogen was entertaining!

Watching them go from tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds to armor-piercing shells, and finally pile drivers, was incredibly entertaining!

Watching them go from brimming with confidence to astonishment, then gritting their teeth in frustration, and finally becoming numb like they were now, was fucking entertaining!

"I say, Ostrich, what else have you got? Keep going! Don't give up!"

Watching the expressionless Ostrich climb down from the vehicle, Guo Yi smugly spoke to him over the comms channel.

"Just you wait!"

After hearing Guo Yi's words, Ostrich unhappily planted another flag.

"Alright, come back."

Just as Guo Yi and Ostrich were having their usual spat, He Zhijun's voice came through the comms channel. "Old Hei and the others will be here in twenty minutes."

"Who's coming?"

In the command post, Guo Yi's projection looked at He Zhijun curiously.

"You'll know when they get here."

"Tch~"

Seeing that He Zhijun was still keeping him in suspense even now, Guo Yi sulkily ducked into the restroom.

Not long after Section Chief Zhou had made his report five days ago, he had left with a special operations team.

He said he was going to pick someone up, and then that was it.

At the same time, he had withdrawn some of the personnel around the area, leaving behind only the Special Field Regiment and the Lone Wolf Special Operations Team.

The former continued to seal off the town, while the latter used various weapons and equipment to battle Guo Yi's E-carbon steel wall.

Dog Head's people had clearly received orders to conduct destructive testing before a certain person—or certain people—arrived.

As for why Guo Yi was certain they were conducting destructive tests?

It was because after every test, someone specifically came to verify certain data with him and collect the shattered E-carbon steel fragments.

With the minds of soldiers who were obsessed only with destruction, forced assaults, and demolition, there was no way they could carry out such systematically planned tests.

Seeing Guo Yi disappear, He Zhijun helplessly shook his head.

After spending five days together, he had more or less figured out Guo Yi's temperament.

So he was no longer surprised by Guo Yi's indirect attempts to avoid things.

"Alright, I'm going to meet them too. You'll see them in a moment."

"You're going too?" Guo Yi emerged from the restroom and asked in surprise. "Could it be..."

"Mm."

"Wait, give me five minutes. I need to tidy myself up!"

Hearing He Zhijun's answer, Guo Yi hurriedly said.

Then he rushed into the restroom to wash up.

But when he came out, he discovered that two elderly men were in the command post, examining samples of E-carbon steel.

"Elder Zhou! Elder Zhao!"

For the first time in five days, Guo Yi was neatly dressed in casual clothes as he respectfully greeted the two men.

A physicist, dynamicist, mathematician, and one of the Giants of the nation, Elder Zhou!

A materials scientist, chemist, and one of the Giants of the nation, Elder Zhao!

Guo Yi had expected scientists to come, but he had never imagined that two Giants of the nation would arrive!

And he finally understood why Cat Head's people had escorted them all this way.

It was a must, and it was necessary.

These giants were the nation's treasures. They deserved such treatment!

Elder Zhou looked at Guo Yi's projection, nodded kindly, and asked gently, "You're Guo Yi? May I call you Little Guo?"

"Whatever makes you two happy!"

"Don't be nervous, child!" Elder Zhao laughed heartily. "You developed these materials all by yourself? Very impressive!"

"Mhm, mhm, mhm!"

Guo Yi happily narrowed his eyes and nodded frantically.

Clearly, Elder Zhao's approval and praise had sent Guo Yi into a state of blissful excitement.

At that moment, Guo Yi was like a fan who had finally met their idol, thrilled beyond measure!

"Elder Zhou, Elder Zhao, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

After nodding wildly, Guo Yi eagerly invited the two elders.

"No!" x2

However, two voices rang out, stopping Guo Yi's invitation.

He Zhijun and Section Chief Zhou looked at Guo Yi solemnly. "We have no idea what it's like inside!

Unless you let us go in and inspect it, we won't agree to let the two elders enter!"

"Ah, don't scare our little genius."

Elder Zhou waved his hand, signaling He Zhijun and Section Chief Zhou not to be so nervous.

Then, Elder Zhou spread his hands at Guo Yi. "We also want to talk with you face-to-face, but I heard they still haven't broken through your walls.

How about letting them go in and take a look, or you come out and talk?

I guarantee in my own name that you won't be arrested on the spot.

As long as we confirm you haven't broken any laws..."

"Um..." Guo Yi scratched his head and said as though he was about to cry, "Haven't they already confirmed several charges against me?

I'm scared..."

Elder Zhao nonchalantly told Guo Yi, "Those are all minor matters. As long as we can verify some of the technology you mentioned, and you haven't violated any fundamental principles, everything is negotiable."

Guo Yi frowned, sweeping his gaze over the solemn He Zhijun and the others before looking at the two elders. After thinking for a moment, he said with half reluctance and half agreement, "You can come in, but don't go barging around or touching things!

Especially Ostrich!"

"Huh?"

The moment Guo Yi said that, everyone immediately looked at Ostrich. Ostrich, meanwhile, looked at them with innocent confusion. "Hey, what's that supposed to mean? How have I been barging around and touching things?

That's discrimination!"

"Who told the airborne troops to leave nothing behind in their own home?"

In response to Ostrich's retort, Guo Yi rolled his eyes and mercilessly exposed his true nature.

"Enough, stop bickering." Seeing the two start arguing again, He Zhijun cut in. "Then come over and lead the way. Also, we'll be bringing weapons inside!"

"Mhm, mhm." Guo Yi shrugged indifferently. "As if you wouldn't bring them even if I said no.

Fine, just follow the plane.

Elder Zhou, Elder Zhao, I'll go prepare to receive you."

"Alright!"

Afterward, the projected plane shut off its projection, slowly turned around, and began leading the way in front of everyone.

Dog Head's people rushed ahead to clear the route, while Cat Head's people kept the two elders, He Zhijun, and Section Chief Zhou protected in the middle.

As for Guo Yi, after shutting off the projection, he thought for a moment before walking into another room.

"Doggie, suit up!"

"Yes!"

As Guo Yi's words fell, all kinds of mechanical sounds rang out in the room. Then Guo Yi's vision went completely dark.

"Beep—verification passed! Qiongqi-0 activated!"

In the darkness, an emotionless mechanical voice sounded.

A pair of lightbulb-like eyes lit up, and amid a series of clanking sounds, it walked out of the room.
