Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

19: A revolutionary battery has been developed, enabling a range of 10,000 kilometers!Long Weiguo’s teasing, which strongly implied matchmaking, caused Su Qingying’s beautiful face—which had just managed to cool down—to instantly flare up again.

Lu Chen, however, seemed completely oblivious to the underlying meaning, merely nodding calmly.

”That’s fine.”

”Theoretical research indeed requires an absolutely quiet environment.”

”Let’s arrange it in the study of my... suite.”

He spoke these words openly and honestly, without a hint of ulterior motive.

But to everyone else present, the meaning they derived was entirely different!

Especially Academician Li Zhenbang and Academician Zhang Jingtong, whose gazes toward Long Weiguo held a hint of, ”You old fox, you’re truly cunning.”

As for Su Qingying, she was so embarrassed she wished she could instantly turn into a ”Quantum Ghost” and simply phase through the wall to escape!

Going to his suite’s study... for private tutoring?!

If this... if this got out, how could she face anyone!

However, before she could even protest, Long Weiguo, the ”patriarch” of the group, decisively settled the matter... For the next half month, Lu Chen completely entered the ”two-point-one-line” workaholic mode.

During the day, he presided over the P4 Laboratory, directing the team of national treasure-level experts—whose average age exceeded sixty—as they worked day and night to overcome various manufacturing challenges in transforming the graphene battery from a ”sample” into a ”product.”

At night, he returned to his luxury suite to personally provide ”one-on-one”... tutoring for the Ice Goddess who was defiant in spirit but honest in action.

It must be said that Su Qingying truly lived up to being the ”smartest child” in Old Zhang’s eyes.

Her learning and comprehension abilities were terrifying!

In just three days, she had gained a preliminary understanding of the ”Non-Fermi Liquid” theory.

In one week, she could barely keep up with Lu Chen’s line of thought and began attempting to use the ”Electroweak Unification Theory” to deduce the phase transition model for Room-Temperature Superconducting Material.

Although the model she proposed was still, in Lu Chen’s eyes... riddled with errors and laughably naive.

But this rate of progress was enough to make any physicist in the outside world feel ashamed.

And the way she looked at Lu Chen also quietly began to change during this half-month of ”tutoring.”

From initial ”defiance” and ”provocation.”

To later ”awe” and ”adoration.”

And now... she herself couldn’t describe what kind of complicated emotion it was.

She only knew that her heart, which had been frozen for eighteen years, seemed... to be uncontrollably accelerating its beat.

Half a month later.

Dragon Shield Bureau, Third Underground Level, Product Testing Center.

This was one of the most heavily guarded places in the entire Dragon Shield Bureau.

Because this place stored Xia Country’s... most cutting-edge, secret weapons.

And today, this place would welcome a miracle... one capable of overshadowing all those secret weapons!

Long Weiguo, Li Zhenbang, Zhang Jingtong... all core members of the Pangu Project were gathered here.

Excitement and... anticipation were written on everyone’s faces!

In front of them, inside a testing room constructed from fully transparent, explosion-proof glass, three items were quietly displayed.

A latest model domestic ”Huaxing” mobile phone.

A military ”Sharp Sword” unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

And... a latest model ”Han” series electric car, bearing the ”BYD” logo!

Next to these three items, three Graphene Batteries of varying sizes, entirely black and radiating a metallic luster, were neatly arranged!

”Everyone!”

Lu Chen stood in front of the testing room, holding a tablet computer, smiling confidently like the CEO of a tech giant about to unveil a revolutionary product!

”It took fifteen days, mobilized three hundred and seventy-one top experts, and cost... an incalculable amount!”

”We have finally transformed the ’miracle’ from the laboratory into a ’commodity’ that can roll off the production line!”

”Today is the moment to test their quality!”

The moment his voice fell!

A technician wearing a specialized uniform carefully inserted the smallest Graphene Battery, roughly the size of a mobile phone battery, into the ”Huaxing” phone!

Then, he pressed the power button!

The screen instantly lit up!

The battery indicator in the upper right corner clearly displayed the words ”100%”!
