Chapter 29 Rejecting Pan Zhen
"Sorry, I refuse."
Huang Ke decisively rejected Pan Zhen's proposal.
The current technical level of Beizhixing Aerospace Industry Group is incomparable to that of Lieyang. If they accept Lieyang's help, and Pan Zhen secretly changes their secret information, they will have nowhere to turn for help.
"It's alright. If you need Lieyang's help, you can contact me through Lena at any time."
This seemed to be just a casual move by Pan Zhen; even if he didn't succeed in making the move, he didn't care too much.
After disconnecting from the secret communication connection with Lena, Lena's expression immediately turned strange. She said to Huang Ke, "I, Lieyang, meant well, yet you don't appreciate it?"
Hearing this tone, Huang Ke understood that the person speaking now was Lena.
Huang Ke stood up: "Earth is currently only a pre-nuclear civilization. We must be extremely cautious when contacting advanced civilizations like yours. One wrong step and we will fall into an abyss."
When facing Lena, Huang Ke's expression was very direct.
To put it bluntly, Huang Ke completely distrusts Lieyang, especially when it comes to creating super genes.
If the first step is supported and interfered with by aliens, then what right does Huang Ke have to talk about independence?
What's the difference between the Super Gene created with Pan Zhen's help and the Super Soldier Corps created by Dukao?
Huang Ke has always pursued absolute independence and autonomy.
In exchange for short-term pain, we can avoid long-term suffering.
In Huang Ke's understanding, if creating super genes is like crossing a river, then all the research, work, and even overcoming difficulties in the early stages are the accumulation of experience, and also a process of building bridges and ships.
Although the ultimate goal is to cross the river, it is impossible to cross without a bridge or a boat!
Even if someone is willing to carry you across the river, if the problem of a bridge or boat is never solved, crossing the river is just empty talk.
If you can get through it once or twice, how do you get through it a third or fourth time?
What if, later on, the person who carried you across the river becomes your enemy?
Now that things have come to this, Huang Ke has no choice but to choose the most difficult and foolish method.
Accumulate technology step by step.
It wasn't until the technology of the North Star Aerospace Industry Group was able to build ships and bridges that they were able to cross the river in one fell swoop.
Lena didn't understand Huang Ke's mentality, nor did she want to.
All she knew was that since Huang Ke had rejected Pan Zhen, it saved her the trouble of going through with it.
Huang Ke walked out of the conference room and saw Lianfeng and Qiangwei standing at the door.
Lianfeng was taken aback when she saw Huang Ke leave.
"You guys are talking... so fast?"
How long has passed since the chat started?
Got five minutes?
What can you possibly discuss in just five minutes?
Even if Ducao wanted to use this incident to attack Huang Ke in the future, it would be difficult for him to make a fuss over less than five minutes.
"We had a very pleasant conversation, so the pace naturally quickened."
Huang Ke smiled, showing no sign that he had just rejected Pan Zhen.
Lianfeng's feelings suddenly became somewhat complicated.
Could Huang Ke have reached some kind of agreement with Pan Zhen?
The reason why the Deno civilization is so confident about the future of Earth is most likely due to the support of the blazing sun.
After all, the super soldiers of the Super Soldier Corps have only just begun to grow, and they need Lena, the light of the sun, to guard the Earth.
Huang Ke did not continue to communicate with Lian Feng, but instead walked into the aircraft carrier on his own.
Lianfeng then realized what was happening: "President Huang, where are you going?"
Huang Kedong looked around and said, "I didn't expect this exchange to end so quickly. I figured since I'm already here, I might as well take a look at the Juxia and see the results of the Black Great Wall Project."
Upon hearing this, Lianfeng had no mind to consider the conversation between Huang Ke and Pan Zhen anymore.
The Great Gorge is Dukao's lifeline now, and Huang Ke must not be allowed to wander around aimlessly.
What if you happen to stumble upon the Black Armor production line!
What if you happen to wander into the Denor III data center!
What if you happen to wander into the command center of the Great Gorge and see a Denor who isn't listed in the Black Wall Project files!
That would be a huge problem for Ducao.
Lianfeng deeply regretted bringing Huang Ke to the Juxia.
Not only did they fail to eavesdrop on Huang Ke and Pan Zhen's conversation, but now it was as if a huge time bomb was circling around on the Juxia.
Lianfeng rushed over to Huang Ke's side: "Mr. Huang, it's getting late. I'll arrange for Qiangwei to take you back to the hotel where the visiting team is staying to rest. You have to catch a flight tomorrow morning!"
In her desperation, Lianfeng even used honorifics and grabbed Huang Ke's arm.
Fortunately, they pulled him back quickly. If Huang Ke had taken just two more steps forward, he would have been at the data processing center of Denuo-3.
Huang Ke could tell the technological gap in computer technology there at a glance.
Those are technologies that weren't included in the Black Great Wall Project archives.
"Okay, I am indeed a bit tired."
Huang Ke did not continue to make things difficult for Lianfeng.
Even though the Giant Gorge is full of the secrets of the Deno civilization, Huang Ke doesn't have much energy to explore it right now.
Huang Ke has already gained enough from his time at the Super God Academy. He needs to return to the North Star Aerospace Industry Group for a few days to reflect and translate his inspiration and knowledge into products.
Led by Lianfeng, Huang Ke boarded the helicopter back to Juxia City.
Lianfeng did not accompany them; only Qiangwei stayed close by to protect them.
The helicopter took off and slowly moved away from the Giant Gorge. Lianfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked anxiously toward Dukao's location.
……
Inside the helicopter, Huang Ke looked down at the sea, lost in thought.
Rose, who was sitting opposite Huang Ke, seemed hesitant to speak.
Finally, Rose couldn't hold back and asked, "Mr. Huang, have you seen my file?"
Upon hearing Qiangwei's question, Huang Ke nodded: "I have reviewed the files of all the members involved in Project Black Wall."
After hesitating for a long time, Qiangwei continued to ask, "Mr. Huang, have you seen my mother's file?"
This is Rose's inner conflict. She grew up with her father from a young age and entered the Super God Academy at a very young age, where she received training as a super soldier.
She has never seen her mother since the day she can remember.
Huang Ke shook his head slightly.
The file only mentions the father-daughter relationship between Rose and Dukao, but makes no mention of Rose's mother's identity.
Furthermore, Huang Ke never had any specific description of Qiangwei's background in his memory.
Therefore, Huang Ke actually has three guesses.
Firstly, as Dukao said, Rose was born from his union with an Earthling. But if that were the case, Dukao wouldn't have needed to destroy the files, which is what Huang Ke ruled out first.
Secondly, it is a reasonable guess that Rose is a pure-blooded Deno, and that Dukao implanted a Time-Space Rose from the Super God Academy into her. However, Huang Ke doubts whether Dukao's technology level is sufficient to activate the Time-Space Rose.
Looking at the composition of the entire Super Soldier Corps, the activation of the super genes of other super soldiers all depend on the power supply of sunlight. Why is Time-Space Rose an exception?
Huang Ke's final guess is that Rose and Dukao are not related by blood at all, and may simply be a product of Liang Bing's research.
Huang Ke didn't reveal any of his own thoughts; he wanted Rose to explore this matter on her own, which would also help keep Morgana in check.
When Qiangwei saw Huang Ke shake his head, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
She could only feel sad in silence; after all, she had gotten used to it over the years.
……
The plane landed right in front of the hotel, and Huang Ke immediately took out his phone to let everyone know he had returned safely.
[Top Ten Military Industries] Group Chat.
Huang Ke: "I'm back, and I'm safe."
Chapter 30: Generation of Super Genes
"Mr. Huang, did Ducao give you any trouble?"
"It's good that you're back safe and sound. We were worried about you for a long time."
Within the group, messages kept coming in from the heads of the top ten military industry companies, all expressing their concerns about Huang Ke's safety.
Huang Ke replied to the message: "Ducao didn't even dare to meet me in person, so please rest assured."
Upon seeing Huang Ke's reply, the atmosphere in the group instantly lightened.
"Haha, that's exactly what Ducao is capable of doing."
"It seems he's afraid of General Manager Huang."
After glancing at the message, Huang Ke smiled, then put away his phone and went back to his room to rest.
……
The next morning, the heads of the ten major military industries arrived at Juxia City Airport.
"Gentlemen, now that this trip is over, we will need to strengthen our cooperation upon our return. The production of the Xuan Nu fighter jets also requires our concerted efforts to ensure they can play a role on the future battlefield." Huang Ke clasped his hands in a fist salute to the group.
"Don't worry, Mr. Huang. The private industrial sector has been fully utilized, and transportation routes across the country have been opened up. After integrating these resources, production efficiency will increase several times over."
"We will never let our guard down for the sake of the planet."
