Student Luo Fei was also enlightened. After arriving at the Abyss, the fatty had really accomplished what he had said. Other than a Zerg which saw him as it was lost, he had never battled again. All he did was just to sleep after eating and eat after waking up. When he had nothing to do, he would just stare at the gloomy sky and go into a daze. It was as though the clouds were just like beautiful women and time was wasted in such a way unknowingly.
It was till he had heard of this news that his lazy eyes flickered with a sense of helplessness. He sighed, “This is what life is about. It is hard to remain foolish.”
He was once a heroic figure. The fatty had also once thought that Wang Zheng had the abilities to reach the sky. This had nothing to do with his stand… Nonetheless, what could he do about it?
He decided to continue to sleep.
Meanwhile in the abyss, the two of them still had different views on the modifications of the Golden Wheel and no one was willing to give in during the confrontation. Specifically, Wang Zheng wanted to maintain the battle capabilities in the air even if that would mean the flight time would be reduced slightly. As for Like Yizhuo, he felt that there was no need for such battle capabilities. The key was to be able to run fast to increase the chances of escaping. This also involved the modifications of certain key parts.
However through their quarrels, both of them realised that the other party knew his stuff well. In the end, the decision was to maintain a certain level of battle capabilities since battling was inevitable. Taking a step back and analyzing the situation, even if they could successfully escape this place, they couldn’t be sure that the exit would be the stationed base of the humans. They might land in the middle of a Zerg’s nest. That would be killed. The truth was that the safest thing for them to do was to do nothing. However, it was clear that this wouldn’t be possible.
“Old Zhuo, I realised that you really have some skills. What was your position in the past?” asked Wang Zheng as he was cleaning. Yizhuo wasn’t from the Elite Academy but he had graduated from the Milky Way Military College. Although Wang Zheng did not know about the standards of the Milky Way Military College, he found that Li was truly an expert. This wasn’t just limited to mecha. His knowledge on outer space and the Zerg was also plentiful and much better than Wang Zheng in many aspects.
Over the years, he hadn’t been slacking and had been recording the situation of this place. At the same time, he had researched the new breed of Zerg and analysed the Zerg’s development based on the endless rubbish the Zerg had been transporting to this place. The Zerg had been transporting things from external races. Some failed Zerg would also be thrown into this place.
To do this would require large amount of knowledge in the field of biology. Wang Zheng had seen the records made by Li Yizhuo and they were rather professionally done.
Although Old Zhuo liked to boast about himself, he had never talk about the position he held and was wearing an awkward expression. He laughed and replied, “I’m obviously someone awesome. I was at least at the level of chief commander.”
Wang Zheng was speechless. S**ew you! A chief commander at the age of just slightly over 30? “Only a ghost would believe you.”
“Tsk, kid you are a frog in the well. Hurry up and complete your mech. Made sure to take care of the details and don’t drop the chains at this crucial moment.” said Old Zhuo. After which, he walked slowly to his hammock, took out a new cigar and started smoking it with his eyes closed.
Wang Zheng laughed. Debates spurred improvements. This was the first time he saw someone who was so complete. Due to his age and body conditions, Wang Zheng was embarrassed to ask Old Zhuo to spar. However Wang Zheng could tell that Old Zhuo’s operating standards was definitely not bad. He also had his own understanding in other aspects. These were things that Wang Zheng did not encounter before.
The research on the Abyss done by Old Zhuo was very important and this had to be brought out together this time. It was hard to determine their exact location within the Abyss but there was an aspect that the Zerg was similar to the humans. The humans had been conducting their research about the Abyss and the Zerg had been looking for a way to break out from the Abyss.
There wasn’t anyone who was able to enter into the depth of the Abyss previously. Although this might be a rubbish dump of the Zerg, it was still part of the core area. Wang Zheng noticed the importance of Old Zhuo’s diary at the thought of this.
The truth was that Li Yizhuo was also observing Wang Zheng. Other than being as unlucky as him, his qualities and personalities weren’t bad and he was reliable. He was also of similar age as his daughter. It was a pity that from the looks of his, he was only interested in the Aslan princess. In fact, what was so great about princesses? The title was a burden to the person. Living was about the practical things. Real happiness was actually having a home of his own.
One would only realise after they lost it. Old Zhuo carefully took out a photograph. This was the only evidence of him still living. All of a sudden, his eyes went blur. He had truly… grown old.
“Old Zhuo, I had a thought. If we could mass produce such mobility devices on mecha, we would be able to earn big bucks!” Wang Zheng was working hard when he suddenly roared.
Old Zhuo kept the photograph carefully and lighted a cigar. “Obviously we could create an additional equip-able device to deal with some complicated landscapes or handle some special missions. It would be a great idea. However, this is my patent!”
“I knew it! When we get out of here, let me introduce you to a friend. Her family is in the business of manufacturing mecha and she is a genius designer herself. This device is still a little too bulky and would have lots of room for improvement.”
“Kid, all you were thinking of was to take advantage of me? Shouldn’t you look at the conditions in this place?”
“Haha, let’s not be so particular. If there are great things, it is only natural to benefit our own people.” laughed Wang Zheng.
This device was the work of Li Yizhuo under helpless circumstances. However, it was true that there was a lot of room for improvements. Moreover, once this device was marketed out and proven useful, it would definitely sell well. The crucial thing was that Wang Zheng had also thought about the applications of the Super Gravity Energy mineral to this device. This would be the key to solving the problem of it being too bulky.
Tsk tsk. Wang Zheng was feeling rather good at the thought of being able to make money. Tyrant Su was most afraid of days without money. After witnessing the way Ai Xiaolu, the real tycoon, spent money, he suddenly felt that the benchmark for becoming a local tycoon seemed to be set really high in recent years.
Li Yizhuo was truly impressed with Wang Zheng’s attitude. When he was just here, he had considered committing suicide on multiple occasions. He was able to live on due to the things that he missed and the uncompleted wishes he had. However, Wang Zheng seemed to be here for a holiday and seemed to be not worried about not being able to get out of this place at all. This kid did have some manliness and the qualities of becoming a soldier.
“Kid, what are your ambitions?” Li Yizhuo asked the overly excited Wang Zheng.
