Because Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao brought some good food, Aunt Li added a braised pork dish and several vegetarian dishes, preparing a whole table of food at noon.

Aunt Li's cooking skills were excellent, and the two young people thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Even Chief Engineer Sun, who has a poor appetite, ate a little more than usual when he saw the two young people eating so heartily.

At noon, Chief Engineer Sun needed to rest, so Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao said goodbye and left.

Afterwards, Huo Yingjie asked Zhou Yuanchao to inform Qian Miaomiao and Tang Xinliang to come to the office for a meeting.

Qian Miaomiao and Tang Xinliang were free and bored, reading in their dormitory. When they heard Zhou Yuanchao's summons, they immediately went to Huo Yingjie's place.

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Huo Yingjie said, "There are benches over there, please bring your own. I know you have two days off, but since you've come back early, you must be eager to leave your work here. In that case, we'll start work tomorrow. I've called everyone here today for preliminary mobilization, to get you ready to get started on the new phase of work."

"Yes, boss!" Zhou Yuanchao said loudly, very excited. The more difficult it was, the more sense of accomplishment he would feel if he succeeded.

“Boss, we’ll all listen to you,” Qian Miaomiao said. “Please give your orders, boss.”

Tang Xinliang, a shy boy, whispered, "Me too."

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "You've all done a great job! From now on, you need to be more vigilant. You can't talk about our project details, our experimental data and records outside, and you can't take them out of the lab. At the same time, everyone should take care of their health. That's what I wanted to say today."

All three agreed.

The next morning, Huo Yingjie received the task from Chief Engineer Sun, and as he had guessed, it really was this!

Huo Yingjie spent the entire morning categorizing the information and assigning tasks to the three individuals, keeping only the most important and core content for himself. Even if there were leaks from those three, it wouldn't affect the overall process.

Everyone received their tasks and left to go back and prepare.

Huo Yingjie stayed alone in the office and carefully placed the documents in the safe.

Huo Yingjie took the little tortoise out of his pocket and said, "Can anyone but me open this safe?"

If it really was a high-level agent who infiltrated, even if only he knew the password, he could still open the box. He had been too presumptuous before.

If that's the case, he still has a backup plan.

Little Turtle came along. He was safe in the weapons research institute, so he was assigned to do some confidential work.

The little tortoise nodded and said, "Sure, it's actually very simple. I'll set up a barrier so that no one can get close to this safe."

During the days that the little tortoise stayed by Huo Yingjie's side, its cultivation made great progress. It could finally use some of the spells it had learned from the Snake King.

“Others can’t get close to this safe, otherwise they’ll find it strange, and I don’t want that. I think the spell you cast allows others to approach the safe, but they can’t open it. It would be even better if we knew who wanted to open my safe.”

The little tortoise thought for a moment and said, "It's easy to let others get close but not open the safe, but it's a bit troublesome to record who has tried to open the safe."

Huo Yingjie felt disappointed. If it were before, he might have only thought about protecting these documents, but with the little tortoise, he had many plans in mind.

Chief Engineer Sun's words were not unfounded; they were based on his personal experience. If it hadn't been for the later identification of the perpetrator, Chief Engineer Sun would have faced charges of treason.

If this crime were to fall on Chief Engineer Sun, it would be more painful than killing him!

With a sincere patriotic heart, he gave up the generous conditions abroad to serve his country. Because of his significant progress, he was feared by foreign forces, so they used that counter-espionage tactic.

Throughout history, countless patriots and loyal officials have died here.

It's simple, but the results are amazing!

Chief Engineer Sun was lucky; the organization caught the high-ranking official who had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. However, those who were framed and whose culprits were never found could only die in despair, filled with resentment.

"What's the trouble? What do you need me to do?" Huo Yingjie asked. He didn't want to get involved in other people's projects, but this one required extreme caution. In his previous life, it was this very project that had been leaked, and the entire team had been wiped out forever.

He didn't want to disappear or be imprisoned forever, so he had to be careful!

“Actually, it’s not a big problem. All it takes is a drop of the master’s blood,” the little tortoise said. “That way, the safe will be connected to the master and me. Whoever touches the safe will be connected to you and me, and we can know exactly who touched it.”

Huo Yingjie didn't speak, but bit his finger, and blood gushed out. He dripped a few drops onto the safe and said, "You have blood. You can begin."

To save his life, Huo Yingjie risked everything!

Seeing several drops of blood, the little turtle felt very sorry for itself!

Actually, just one drop is enough!

"Yes, Master." The little tortoise began to cast a spell, establishing a connection between the safe and its master, as well as itself.

At the moment it was completed, Huo Yingjie did feel something different.

When you close your eyes, a safe appears in your mind, just like watching a video. It has many functions, such as slow motion, fast forward, forward view, and backward view!

Huo Yingjie was overjoyed and said, "Little Whirlwind Turtle, you are truly amazing. Keep practicing your skills; there will be many opportunities to use you in the future!"

"That's right." While the little tortoise was feeling smug, there was also a hint of disappointment in its heart.

Actually, the master is more powerful, but it's unknown when the master's energy will awaken!

It doesn't matter anymore. As long as its owner is there, it will stay by his side and protect him, just like its owner sheltered it back then.

After putting the documents away and locking the safe, Huo Yingjie could finally relax.

Starting the next day, Huo Yingjie and his team members threw themselves into their work. They studied and analyzed together until late at night.

Because of their previous seamless cooperation, they could convey the correct information with just a gesture or a glance, greatly improving work efficiency.

However, after hearing Huo Yingjie's proposal, Chief Engineer Sun suddenly realized something and understood some things.

He had taken a detour before, wasting a lot of manpower and resources. This novel formula is bold, but theoretically reasonable. As long as the experimental data matches the theory, even if there are errors, as long as the errors are within the allowable range, it is correct.

Chief Engineer Sun is in charge of this project. He discusses things with Huo Yingjie every day, and they both gain valuable insights.

The old man and the young man often argued endlessly over the same issue.

However, such arguments won't affect the project's progress; on the contrary, they help both sides avoid detours and save manpower and resources. (To be continued.)
