On the plateau, at Heavenly Net Headquarters.
Inside a large laboratory,
Yang Tianyao and the many researchers in white lab coats all stood with their arms crossed over their chests, their expressions serious.
Before them was Ye Fan, who had just been wheeled away from the energy testing equipment.
