"Hey, looks like you were prepared all along. So why didn't you move forward?"

Old Li scrolled through the files on his phone and looked at Old Tang.

"There's nothing we can do; we can't find a starting point. Li Xingkong often disappears for a month or two at a time. He might be cultivating, or he might be doing some other research. It's not convenient to disturb him during these times, and with all these recent events, this plan has been put on hold for now."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about anything else. Now's our chance, let's get started and make the arrangements."

Old Li tossed Old Tang's phone back to him.

After taking the phone, Old Tang for a moment and then sent a message to Li Xingkong.

"We're still in a meeting. If it's not urgent, you can contact my assistant first."

After opening the relevant notebook, Old Tang found the contact information of the girl in the file among a bunch of information.

From the moment the plan to marry Li Xingkong was launched, after finding a girl who basically met all the requirements from the vast sea of people, Divine Land arranged for her to come to Earthly Capital for further study and to start working Earthly Capital.

The main reason is that Li Xingkong rarely goes out, so if we want to give him a chance to get to know him, we can only start from the Earthly Capital.

He sent her contact information and name to Li Xingkong, and Old Tang sent several more messages to notify the key people in the whole matter.

" Zhang Yumeng..."

Looking at the message Old Tang sent, Li Xingkong was a little confused.

Old Tang has an assistant? He has absolutely no recollection of it.

Although it's impossible for someone in Old Tang's position to work without anyone assisting him, Li Xingkong never saw anyone else around Old Tang whenever he went to see him. This made him subconsciously feel that Old Tang really didn't have many people around him to get things done.

However, in reality, someone of Old Tang's stature might have several offices under his assistants, which could even encompass his work and personal life.

Only when dealing with special individuals like Li Xingkong is it worthwhile for Old Tang to personally receive them. For anyone else, they probably wouldn't even have Old Tang's private phone Jidu.

Although I've been Earthly Capital many times, I've never stayed for very long. Maybe there really is such a department.

Since it was given to him by Old Tang, I can't just lie to him.

Following the message from Old Tang, Li Xingkong contacted his so-called assistant.

"Hello, this is the assistant's office in the Earthly Capital. How can I help you?"

"This is Li Xingkong. Old Tang told me to make this call."

A female voice came from the other end, in a very standardized office tone. Li Xingkong quickly explained the purpose of his visit.

I heard the sound of typing on a keyboard on the other end of the phone, followed quickly by a reply.

"Okay, Mr. Li, we have retrieved your relevant records. Do you have any questions?"

"When I last came to Earthly Capital, I talked to Old Tang about building a new nuclear power plant on the moon. This time, I wanted to ask about the progress."

Li Xingkong didn't think much about confidentiality, since the person on the other end of the phone was Old Tang's assistant, who basically knew everything about Old Tang's work. If there was anything inconvenient, Old Tang wouldn't have given him this number to ask.

"Okay, I'll check it for you."

There was clearly more than one person on the other end of the phone. Although no one was speaking into the phone, a series of busy sounds could be heard from the other end.

About half a minute later, the other side responded.

Regarding the lunar nuclear power plant you mentioned, the approval process has been completed, and the design drawings for the nuclear power plant have reached their third version. They are currently being verified on relevant supercomputers, and the completion rate has reached approximately 98%. The general structure has been finalized, and it has reached the standard where construction can begin at any time.

"The materials have been collected and we are now waiting for the space carrier to have available time for the next space orbital cargo transport."

"Relevant staff have already begun preparations."

Hearing this, Li Xingkong breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had asked first. If he had started learning magic directly, the project might have already begun on the moon a month later.

"It's alright. Here's what we'll do: please tell Old Tang that once the design drawings are finished, he can send them to me first. I'll handle the subsequent construction work. As for the materials, there's no need to send them directly to the moon; we can just find a place to store them for now."

With the Space Bag, it doesn't matter where the materials are stored. There's no need to wait for the space carrier to be idle. Earth Star isn't completely settled yet, and who knows how long that would take.

"By the way, Mr. Li, this is my personal contact information. Mr. Tang said that if he's busy, he can contact me if he needs anything."

Having asked everything he wanted to ask, Li Xingkong was about to hang up when a voice came from the other end of the line.

Li Xingkong thought about it and agreed. Old Tang Heavenly Capital busy, and Tang Cheng was nowhere to be found. He hadn't shown his face in a long time, and there was no news of him. If he wanted to contact the Earthly Capital in the capital, he would indeed need someone to help him.

"Okay, I've got it."

With Li Xingkong's current memory, no recording medium is as effective as simply memorizing it directly in his mind.

"By the way, Mr. Li, my name is Zhang Yumeng. 'Yu' means rain, and 'meng' means beautiful dream."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

After a few hasty replies, Li Xingkong hung up the phone. Having received updates on the progress, Li Xingkong was now eager to begin his magical training immediately. As for what his assistant in the Earthly Capital wanted to say later, Li Xingkong had long since stopped paying attention.

The design drawings for the nuclear power plant are almost finalized, and construction hasn't even started yet, which is indeed good news for Li Xingkong.

Enough said, let's get started!

After tidying up his room and making a large open space, Li Xingkong hung a sign on the door that read "Cultivating, Do Not Disturb," then closed the door and began studying magic.

Time always flies when you're in seclusion for study. Immersed in intense learning, Li Xingkong was completely unaware of the passage of time.

Nearly a month passed quickly, and Li Xingkong had almost finished learning the Thick Earth City Fortification Technique.

Although he had seen it before, and knew that the structure of this spell was much more complex than that of the Sword Control Technique, in reality, the difficulty of constructing it was even higher than he had imagined.

The numerous nested magical structures are so complex that just one glance can make one feel dizzy.

Fortunately, Li Xingkong Hexagram skills, and several of the fastest Hexagram operated simultaneously to dissect and construct the structure of this spell piece by piece.

Since Li Xingkong was going to use this spell to build a nuclear power plant, the safety considerations for this thing were extremely high, so the requirements for this spell were naturally not low either.

Therefore, Li Xingkong chose the master-level spell structure from the start, directly skipping the beginner-level spell structure.

Fortunately, its own Hexagram is powerful enough that even with such a leap in learning, it can provide sufficient computational power for deduction.
