Chapter 92 2/2

This was Huaguo’s gun prohibition; otherwise, she would have equipped them with various types of firearms.

After successfully unlocking the triple password, the heavy door opened wide, and Shengquan saw Ningzhou. and the holographic cabin next to him.

Generally speaking, Shengdong cared a lot about expressing concern for employees, even though Ningzhou, strictly speaking, wasn’t her employee. In the past, every time she came to the research institute, she would visit him (mainly to check on his health).

But this time, wasn’t the holographic cabin just too attractive?

Shengquan’s gaze was almost glued to the holographic cabin, which looked a bit cumbersome and not at all cool.

But that didn’t stop Shengquan and Ningzhou from looking at it with almost the same “cherishing” gaze.

“Can we try it now?”

Shengquan was impatient.

Ningzhou nodded. After two years of careful care, he no longer looked like the thin figure from before. Due to his frequent forgetfulness to eat, his pale face had turned rosy, and his overly thin physique had gradually gained some weight.

Although he still doesn’t seem to like talking much, he is clearly familiar with Sheng Quan. Even after her arrival, he is willing to take the initiative to approach her.

He, who usually doesn’t initiate conversations, surprisingly brings up a topic this time:

“This is impressive.”

The expression, usually indifferent due to a lack of facial expressions, now seems to carry a hint of unexpected gentleness.

Sheng Quan nods in agreement, her eyes lighting up as she looks at the holographic cabin. “It’s amazing! Ningzhou, you’re truly a genius! In such a short time, you’ve even developed a holographic cabin!”

Ningzhou nods slightly, his demeanor unchanged. He doesn’t smile, but his body is noticeably more relaxed than before, far from the cold and indifferent appearance he had earlier.

His two senior brothers and assistants are not surprised. Ningzhou’s trust in Sheng Quan did not come out of nowhere. Over the past two years, Sheng Quan has visited him repeatedly, talked to him, and supported all his ideas.

Ningzhou is a genius, but not every idea he has can be successfully implemented. Many of his ideas are fantastical, and over the past two years, a considerable amount of money and equipment have gone down the drain.

He finds it hard to express emotions, but that doesn’t mean he is unaware of the consequences of his decisions. At that time, the entire project team worried that Sheng Quan would no longer continue, given the substantial amount of money and equipment they had already invested.

However, Sheng Quan’s first words when she flew over were, “Ningzhou, have you not been eating well again?”

Ningzhou, at that moment, was at a loss. He wanted to explain the situation but didn’t know where to start.

Together with him, the other anxious students were also left bewildered.

In the end, Sheng Quan treated them to a hot pot.

Although it might seem strange for a wealthy person like her to treat others in a hot pot restaurant, in that familiar setting, the students, full of anxiety, finally relaxed.

Ningzhou sat next to Sheng Quan, quietly enjoying the various items in his exclusive clear soup pot. Usually, when eating, he would be cautious, picking up a piece of food with chopsticks, blowing on it carefully, and counting…four times.

After the fourth blow, Ningzhou would put the food into his mouth, chewing with a serious expression, ensuring he had chewed enough times before swallowing. During these moments, he wouldn’t look at anyone or anything else.

But in that hot pot restaurant, Ningzhou couldn’t help but sneak a glance at the spicy pot beside him, watching Sheng Quan savor the spiciness.

It was a mix of curiosity and attention.

From that day on, the young man, who usually avoided doing anything other than research, would slowly move towards Sheng Quan when she came to the research institute.

Just like now.

Sheng Quan almost wanted to shower Ningzhou with endless praise. After a hearty compliment, she eagerly lay down in the holographic cabin under his guidance.

She roughly guessed the progress of Ningzhou’s research.

Of course, she could infer a lot from the original text.

Certainly, in this life, Ningzhou had a lot of funds and many people helping him. Progress would be different from the previous life. But scientific research is not something Sheng Quan expected to advance too quickly.

Until she used the holographic cabin.

The cabin door opens, and Sheng Quan sits up, slowly removing the eye mask.

She never expected Ningzhou’s upper limit to be so high.

This wasn’t just the initial development of holography; it was almost approaching the level depicted in movies and TV shows.

Don’t talk to her about the cost of this holographic simulation cabin being in the billions; this wasn’t about money!

This was about technology! It’s science!

Prices can come down with development, but technology is unique.

Wait, no, it still involves money. This holographic technology, coupled with her plan…

Sheng Quan: I’m going to make a fortune!

Seeing Sheng Quan deep in thought after sitting up, He Xi quickly approached to help her out of the cabin.

“Director Sheng, how do you feel?”

Sheng Quan’s expression still seemed a bit lingering, but she quickly recovered. She turned her gaze toward Ningzhou and others with a look of admiration.

“It’s beyond expectations.”

Indeed, it was beyond expectations. She even felt the urge to strangle the original author. How could you write off such a genius? She should have insulted him a bit more back then.

“At the latest, how long until mass production?” Sheng Quan asked.

“Six months,” Ningzhou replied.

Sheng Quan looked at the tightly arranged and heavily guarded room, just walked out, and then at the security personnel outside. She suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“No, no, no.”

While others were still wondering what Sheng Director meant by “no,” she took the phone handed over by He Xi and dialed a number.

Sheng Quan, through her actions, proved that she was, as always, pragmatic.

At the security training base, retired instructor Qin, comfortably drinking tea and watching TV, received her call.

“Consultant Qin, can you contact the national authorities?”

“Huh?”

“It’s the kind that needs to be kept confidential.”

“Ah?!”

Sheng Quan, on the phone, glanced at Ningzhou, who was still looking at her with bright eyes.

“There’s… someone here who may need the use of firearms for protection.”
