"..."
Hexi silently turned her back, preparing to slip away.
"Forget it, I should get up."
"..."
Their eyes met.
Damn!
I got careless!
Time flew by.
Ever since Hexi had been tricked into becoming Hexi.
Two months had already passed.
Not much had happened during that time. At most, after they started living together, Han Fei taught her some common knowledge about Earth, and she accidentally made a few jokes of herself.
Mm, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning~
However, Hexi's arrival was currently a tremendous help to Han Fei.
In just two months.
By herself, she had upgraded and modified several low-end technologies he had specifically selected.
He now dared to say with certainty that the laser weapon series had completely reached the standards of a spacefaring civilization.
She had also filled in some gaps in the foundational technologies and was still helping him refine the information on several mid-range technologies.
This thrilled him. While it made him feel that his choice had been right, it also made him increasingly restless.
Her intelligence was high, truly high. She only needed one look at Earth's technological data to understand it, then quickly improve upon it.
Moreover, the residual cosmic knowledge in her mind could help him grow stronger rapidly. It could be said that only after receiving Hexi's help did he finally look like the person Dukao believed had inherited the legacy of an alien civilization.
Rather than how he had been before, relying on luck to fish things out of the Drifting Bottle for years.
Yet still using Earth's own technology in foundational fields and the like.
But.
She was so smart that he increasingly felt his lies could easily be exposed.
Furthermore, because he was wary of her identity, he did not dare let her learn about many of the things he had fished out of the Drifting Bottle. The things he distributed were all carefully selected.
They all bore no traces of other worlds and were things that could also be found in this universe.
He had never told her about relatively important and sensitive things such as talismans, Light Shadow Stones, Green Baby Energy, and Fool Powder.
Still, while that could be considered a safeguard, Han Fei later felt that it was somewhat like burying his head in the sand.
He had already lured her over. If she truly recovered or was discovered, would the consequences really leave room for him to care about such secrets?
Thinking this.
Han Fei came up with a new idea.
Perhaps he could gradually reveal those more sensitive things to her.
The universe was so vast and full of wonders. As long as it was not something that completely overturned a person's worldview, and as long as his Drifting Bottle ability was not exposed...
Besides.
At present.
She was his person.
Her research results belonged to him as well.
He should not do something foolish like being suspicious of everything and slowing down development.
With that thought, Han Fei felt much better.
Oh, right, there was good news.
Hexi had recently done some research on that shielding formation. According to her, she should be able to produce some results in about half a year.
Thinking optimistically, if what Hexi developed successfully fooled everyone and he was not exposed, then with his years of development on Earth, he would at least have the ability to protect himself. If things truly went badly, he could just take everything and run.
To be honest.
The spaceship he had fished out had almost been completely repaired.
Construction on several other ships was now being accelerated as well.
But that was only a backup plan.
For him, whose mindset had not yet undergone a major shift, he did not want to leave his homeland unless it was necessary. Who would want to leave the place where they had grown up?
A man was looked down upon when away from home.
Han Fei, who still held onto that simple belief, did not really want to leave.
As for pride and such.
A gentleman's revenge could wait ten years.
As long as he was alive, there would be a chance for revenge.
"Peh, peh, peh. What am I thinking? It hasn't come to that yet. Unlucky, unlucky."
Shaking his head, Han Fei lifted a cup of black tea that was still giving off wisps of heat and took a sip.
"Ding-dong."
"Come in."
The wooden door opened, and a beautiful woman with a graceful figure entered, dressed in a black-and-white business suit that gave her the air of a mature urban beauty.
Her smooth silver hair fell to her shoulders, her pure blue eyes resembled the sea, and her gorgeous face was more exquisite than a doll's. Combined with her curvaceous figure.
She was a woman who could easily make people commit crimes.
Mm, serious crimes.
"Chairman, this is today's report. Please review it."
She bent slightly and placed the paper report in her arms on the desk.
Han Fei swiftly pulled his gaze back.
Then he opened it and began reading with a solemn expression.
Please forgive him. Instinct was sometimes difficult to control.
After flipping through several pages, Han Fei asked in a muffled voice, "How is the mech research going?"
Hexi, who stood quietly beside him, serene as a goddess, answered softly.
"At present, large-scale manufacturing is basically possible. However, that prototype is too severely damaged. Based on my research, I could only divide and modify it."
"It has been divided into a ground type, an ocean type, and a Space type closest to the prototype."
"The ground type possesses an advantage against corps-level combat power. Unless nuclear bombs are deployed, only a large-scale missile barrage poses a threat."
"You can regard the ocean type as a miniaturized, optimized aircraft carrier."
"As for the Space type, as long as there is sufficient energy, calculations show that aside from nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs, no weapon can threaten it."
See?
That was Hexi's intelligence.
If he let suspicion make him overly constrained, it would probably slow development by a great deal.
Han Fei paused his turning finger and looked at Hexi, whose face was calm and stern.
"What about production efficiency?"
"It is difficult. Resource control is too strict. With the resources we currently possess, we can manufacture only a few units at most. Energy is also a problem. Recently, I have been improving solar energy, hoping to raise energy utilization and indirectly solve the energy issue. In fact, if possible, I would rather study controllable nuclear fusion."
"Existing nuclear fission also has certain flaws. It is just that I have never had enough time or materials."
Her answer was within Han Fei's expectations.
Energy was naturally a major problem.
For a civilization.
Materials science and energy were the greatest obstacles limiting its ability to venture into space and delaying its destruction.
And controllable nuclear fusion had never been developed.
Every country imposed extremely strict controls over nuclear matters.
Moreover, the nations had already formed an unspoken agreement to suppress him.
But for Han Fei, who possessed Green Baby and Light Shadow Stones, nuclear fusion was not entirely indispensable.
Still.
This planet had De Nuo, gods, future chaos, and resources were beginning to grow scarce as well—for the rapidly increasing new technologies. It truly was not suitable for his development.
The overseas plan had to be put on the agenda.
"What about those Explorer-class spaceships?"
"The spaceships have already been completed, and I have also modified the engines. But it is still the same old problem: energy."
Hexi replied with a hint of helplessness.
To tell the truth.
Hexi was a genuine genius.
But even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice.
Especially when she barely had any time.
If she could research anything out of nothing under such conditions, the Angels would have unified the universe long ago.
At present.
It was not that she could not create other energy sources, but Earth's current circumstances, Han Fei's circumstances, and the available time did not give her the conditions to do so.
Trying to build a modern house within a few days while holding only a stone hammer.
It was impossible even to think about!
If she recovered all her memories and physical abilities, perhaps she could?
Hexi thought uncertainly.
However.
"You do not need to worry about energy. Today, I'll show you something good."
Han Fei stood up and spoke in a rather strange tone.
Mm, it sounded quite strange to Hexi.
"Hexi, no, Secretary Hexi."
"Yes, Chairman?"
Hexi looked at him in confusion.
"Although you have not recovered your memories during these days, you should have adapted to your current life and gained some understanding of your situation. So, I want to know what you think now."
Han Fei suddenly asked her, his gaze meaningful.
Hexi froze slightly. Looking at Han Fei, the expression on his face, unlike usual, made her understand something.
Her red lips parted, and she lowered her head.
She began to think carefully and seriously.
Actually.
During this period of searching for her memories.
She had discovered many things.
