"Let's report to headquarters," Zeng Guangtian thought, he didn't dare make a decision immediately, as bringing such a large object back would be very difficult.

Like military bases, research institutes will likely also require personnel to be stationed there.

Zeng Guangtian awaited his boss's reply with utmost respect, using the China Unicom Time-Space Communication headset.

"Old Zeng, how's it going? Have you found out what it is?"

Through the earpiece, Wei Lun inquired, "The research institute has comprehensive security measures, so the damage wasn't too severe."

Even if someone were to set their sights on these public institutions in the apocalypse, without the aid of powered exoskeletons and laser weapons, they probably wouldn't even be able to get through the gate.

The zombie-infested world also indirectly protected some key units.

"Boss, we've checked it. This place is full of heavy machinery, just like a military base. We can't take it back."

Zeng Guangtian was somewhat excited, but also a little regretful. After all, he had seen a huge pile of treasures, but he couldn't take them all home. No one could remain completely unmoved.

"fine."

Wei Lun replied with one sentence, and then connected to the entire channel.

"Du Kun, reply received."

Wei Lun called Du Kun over the channel, and Du Kun, who was busy in the lab, quickly put down his work.

"Boss, what's the problem?"

Du Kun is busy producing computer chipsets. Compared to the past, chipsets are now almost fully mature.

"Send someone to check with Old Zeng. See if he's found something big again."

Wei Lun said that he and Qin Mutong were currently walking on the streets of the gathering place at headquarters.

Staying in the headquarters courtyard all the time can get stuffy. Of course, with armed guards around, people in the settlement would make way for Wei Lun and Qin Mutong whenever they saw them.

Living in the Guardian Group, even if you don't know who the boss is, everyone knows Qin Mutong.

The woman who actually controls the Guardian Group is someone no one can aspire to be near, and the man standing beside her, even if he doesn't want to, knows that she is the real boss!

"Yes, boss, I'll arrange it right away."

Du Kun replied with a smile, and then arranged for his assistant to go over. The assistant responded quickly.

When it comes to technique, Du Kun still needs to consult his assistants in many areas. If he hadn't joined Wei Lun's team so early, many members of the team would be more skilled than him at this moment.

"Old Zeng, did you hear that? Du Kun sent people over there."

Weren continued on the communications channel, saying that the combat and research units were arguably the two most important vanguard units within the Guard.

With one manager outside and another inside, their mutual support is what has made the Guardian Group so powerful.

"Boss, I think we don't need to!"

"The guards kept finding a keyword while reviewing the documents."

"Plasma propulsion!"

"This should be a rocket research and development base."

Zeng Guangtian answered affirmatively, "This is huge! They even have a rocket R&D base, so they must have satellite technology too."

As expected of a national-level research institute, they are working on major projects.

"Plasma thruster?"

Wei Lun was somewhat puzzled. He had heard of plasma thrusters; the technology existed in modern times, though it wasn't as sophisticated.

In the post-apocalyptic world, plasma technology is probably already fully mature. With this technology, wouldn't we be able to launch rockets in the future?

"Boss, I know about plasma thrusters."

Du Kun suddenly blurted out a sentence, and then continued his statement.

"Traditional rockets propel themselves forward by expelling high-speed gas from their tails. Ion thrusters also use the same jet propulsion principle, but instead of burning fuel to expel hot gas, they use electrical energy to stimulate a high-speed stream of ions to propel the rocket backward. What they expel is a beam of charged particles or ions. The thrust they provide may be relatively weak, but the key is that ion thrusters require far less fuel than ordinary rockets. As long as ion thrusters can maintain stable performance over a long period, they will eventually be able to accelerate spacecraft to much higher speeds."

Du Kun explained the principles of plasma technology in great detail, but everyone only vaguely understood it.

To put it simply, it's about achieving a larger power system with a smaller investment, and this technology has already been proven feasible.

Currently, many of the miniature objects in the sky are launched using plasma thrusters.

"Okay, here's what you do: you can send someone over to take over."

Wei Lun said excitedly, "Now that we've discovered plasma thrusters, is the future of the universe really that far away?"

"Okay, boss!"

Du Kun recalled his assistant and then transferred many highly skilled personnel from the research team to the research institute.

In the chipset production warehouse, Du Kun excitedly shared his joy with his team.

For technical personnel, only by acquiring such large-scale production equipment can they have sufficient prospects for development. Now, with plasma thrusters, we have almost taken a giant leap towards rocket launches.

Of course, there are many other technologies, but these are all available in research institutes.

Most importantly, the existing research pipeline already contains some aerospace talent, and the discovery of aerospace technology represents a significant opportunity to fully utilize this previously underutilized talent.

Everyone wants to feel needed, even talented individuals. Respect earned through one's own abilities is the most worthy of pride.

...

On the street, Wei Lun and Qin Mutong strolled hand in hand.

"Interesting. With plasma thrusters, we'll be able to reach the stars in the future."

Wei Lun laughed heartily, feeling exceptionally cheerful. If he could bring this technology back with him, would he become a national superstar?

The plasma technology in this post-apocalyptic world is now more mature and reliable. If I were to go back and start an aerospace company, it might be possible. However, this industry costs too much money and yields too little return, so it's just a thought. It's not something I could actually do.

"Honey, you want the whole world to be yours."

"Because in the whole world, you are the only one with a background, and your background is an entire peaceful world."

"However, you also need to balance that world. If the technology is too advanced, it's best not to bring it over, so as not to cause panic."

Qin Mutong spoke slowly, inwardly agreeing with Wei Lun's idea, but also finding it very reasonable and well-founded.

Only if Wei Lun's livelihood is guaranteed will I be safer in the apocalypse.

No wonder her man always liked to do research about peacetime; now Qin Mutong finally understood why.

It turns out that the research on antique cell phones and super-large computers in the past was all for the needs of that world. The goods brought over, such as cigarettes, were all things that had very low costs in that world. Qin Mutong's understanding became clearer and clearer.

"Honey, I want to go to the city wall to take a look."

Qin Mutong suddenly wanted to relive the time when she and Wei Lun stood shoulder to shoulder defending against the zombie horde. Back then, Wei Lun held a laser sword and wore graphene armor, looking incredibly handsome, and his back view gave people a strong sense of security.
