Sunset, Waiting, Chasing the Sun!

The third floor of the Academy of Sciences' grand auditorium.

Ever since Dean Ji Yang had driven them out of the virtual reality zone, everyone in the Architecture Institute who was at least a mid-level researcher had put aside their work and hurried over from elsewhere, sitting in the room next to Su Mo.

However, after seeing that miraculous structure with a load-bearing capacity exceeding a thousand times the standard, and learning some of the reasons behind the battle that had broken out that afternoon,

more than a dozen researchers had gathered around Ai Jianqiang. They were all somewhat silent, able to do nothing but puff on their dry pipes to hide their awkwardness.

An unprecedented superstructure capable of rivaling several years, or even more than a decade, of research by everyone in the Architecture Institute combined—this was true.

It was also true that it had provoked several factions into a fierce battle within the Academy of Sciences, resulting in half the academy's gardens being ravaged by artillery fire and more than a hundred people dying horribly.

In the civilized era, perhaps they could have put on an act of balancing merits against faults, gone through the motions, and let the matter drop.

But this was the apocalypse, especially before the several factions had fully settled their differences.

If the Academy of Sciences had no intention of becoming fully involved and wading into these muddy waters, the matter would be difficult to handle.

After all, a thousandfold load-bearing structure could not, in the short term, be like the Energy Stone Engine or regeneration technology. The moment it was created, it could rapidly spark a technological revolution throughout the entire territory and directly reverse humanity's situation on the wasteland.

Its existence was more like a foundation of strength. It would need
