The two returned to the courtyard, and Gao Feng pointed to the fully-equipped smart car he had modified:

"This is it. Can you test it for me and see if it moves?"

That's it?

Old Wan also pointed to the car; she could even see traces of the accident on it.

The paint on the front of the car is chipped, and the two front wheels are a bit deformed. It probably shouldn't affect driving, right?

"Just a beat-up old car, and you want me to drive this far? Lao Gao, you're really underestimating me. I'm the vice president of the Robotics Foundation, for goodness' sake."

Old Wan looked up at the sky, looking utterly speechless.

But then it suddenly dawned on her, "Wait a minute, if it were such a small thing, you wouldn't have described it as 'very urgent and crucial,' would you?"

Gao Ang pointed at her, "You're smart. If it were that simple, would I have invited you? Do you think I wouldn't know you're a very busy person?"

He pushed the mobility scooter to the middle of the yard and gestured for her to get on.

Old Wan sat down with some skepticism, and carefully looked it over, touching and examining it here and there. "There's nothing special about it."

From the outside, there was nothing unusual about her at all.

"Could what I make be bad? Its peculiarity lies not in its appearance, but in its essence."

Gao Feng said in a mysterious and soft voice, while handing over the Bluetooth headset with special electrodes, "Put this on, and I'll tell you how to operate it later."

Looking at the delicate earphones in his hand, Lao Wan asked with some anticipation, "You're not going to tell me that I can control this car with my voice using these Bluetooth earphones, are you?"

Before she could finish speaking, she eagerly put on the headphones.

"How do I start it up? Hurry up. If it really is voice-operated, can it also be applied to the Dragon Brain One? Also, how does its sensitivity compare to others on the market? But relying solely on voice control, I'm afraid it's not that high-tech, is it?"

Gao Ang looked at Lao Wan speechlessly, "Stop imagining so much. Voice chat... What era is this technology from? Do you think I'd even look at it?"

Old Wan nodded in agreement, "That's true, speech recognition is just so-so. If it really is speech recognition, I'm actually a bit disappointed."

"I'll reveal the secret to you right away. Are you wearing it properly?"

Gao Ang stared at Lao Wan's profile for a long time.

Her skin is really good, and the shape of her ears is also nice...

"Okay, how do I use this?"

"Don't rush."

Gao Feng snapped his fingers, and Qian Sui nodded, controlling the start of the smart car.

As the lights flashed, Lao Wan couldn't wait to twist and turn in the car.

"Um, when you start it up later, please be careful. It's best not to exceed 100 km/h. This injury was caused by a speed of 100 km/h. I think 1 meter per second is fine."

To prevent Xiaohua's tragic experience from happening again, Gao Ang gave Lao Wan a special reminder before setting off.

"I know, and besides, even if I wanted to go 100 km/h, your yard would have to be able to."

Gao Ang chuckled awkwardly, ran to the front of the car, stood by the wall, and whispered to Lao Wan, "Now control your brain and issue the driving command."

"What?"

Old Wan stared in disbelief, looking at Gao Feng as if he were an idiot:

"The brain is issuing commands? Are you sure you're not kidding me? Or are you telling me to make a voice command?"

In his excitement, Lao Wan almost lost his composure, even blurting out a filler word like "What?"

"I'm sure I'm not kidding you. I'm telling you very seriously, very earnestly, and very solemnly, Ms. Wan Xinyue, please control your cute little head and issue the driving command, OK?"

He raised his hands and lowered them, making a gesture for the car to start moving.

Only then did Lao Wan realize that Gao Feng was neither confused nor mentally challenged.

She just couldn't quite grasp it yet—controlling a car through her brain with just an earphone?

Although it's a small car, it's still a car after all.

"I believe you, but what if you dare to play me..."

Old Wan steadied himself and threatened menacingly.

"stop!"

Seeing Lao Wan's solemn expression, Gao Ang called for a halt again.

"What now?"

Old Wan's angry voice came over; it was clear she was quite annoyed.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you not to make the instructions in your head too complicated. Keep it simple, like: move forward at a constant speed of one meter per second, or even simpler, just walk towards me at your normal walking speed, got it?"

Old Wan frowned. "So, should I issue a specific instruction or a vague one?"

"Um, either way is fine, it's up to you."

Gao Ang scratched his head, realizing he had said too much and might have confused Lao Wan.

Upon hearing Gao Ang's words, Lao Wan pouted and calmed down once again.

He glanced at the high-altitude direction, estimated the distance between the two, and then silently recited: "Move at a constant speed of one meter per second straight ahead."

The sound of the silent recitation was neither too loud nor too soft; if you weren't listening carefully, you might not have heard it at all.

In her view, controlling a vehicle with one's brain is simply impossible.

This guy most likely used speech recognition technology, so just to be on the safe side, she still made a sound.

Otherwise, if the experiment fails, how upset would that man be? We have to consider his chauvinistic mentality.

As soon as the words were spoken, the smart mobility scooter actually started!

It travels at a constant speed of one meter per second in an upward direction.

"It actually started running!"

There was surprise in Lao Wan's tone, but not much astonishment.

But as he ran, something went wrong. His speed gradually increased, and finally he started sprinting towards Gao Feng.

"Holy crap, what are you doing? Brake!"

As the car drew closer, Gao Feng panicked and quickly shouted something.

"Brake! Brake!"

He shouted for the brakes, but the car didn't slow down at all; it continued to rush forward at a speed of almost 3 meters per second.

"Chitose, brake!"

As soon as Gao Fang finished speaking, the car came to a steady stop half a meter away from him.

Because of the sudden stop, Lao Wan, who was sitting on it, was thrown forward due to inertia and stood up involuntarily...

The dramatic scene didn't happen; Gao Feng steadily supported her, preventing any physical contact between them.

"Luckily I acted in time, otherwise you would have fallen off," Gao Ang said, helping Lao Wan out of the car. He glanced at the car and said, "Looks like we need to get a seatbelt for it and reinforce the sides. It's best to have some protective measures, otherwise if something goes wrong, it'll be a big problem."

Old Wanping, standing to the side, curled his lip and even glared fiercely at Qian Sui, who was not far away.

"Hey Lao Wan, why don't you try reversing and turning again?"

Having finally found a laborer, Gao Ang was determined to finish the experiment; he couldn't simply walk straight ahead and call it a day.

"oh."

Old Wan cooperated and got back into the car.

"You don't have to speak, you don't have to make a sound, just lean against this spot."

Pointing to his head, Gao Feng emphasized again.

"real?"

Old Wan was still skeptical.

Gao Ang heard her silent recitation, so he could probably guess what she was thinking.

"Really, let's begin."

Sitting up straight, Lao Wan glanced back, confirmed the distance, and silently began to think.

Reversing, turning, accelerating, sudden stopping... the two worked until 8 p.m. before completing all the experiments. Chitose also saved all the data that needed to be recorded for future use.

To Gao Feng's dismay, the woman didn't seem particularly excited.

Does this mean that brain-computer interfaces are now commonplace?

Or is she just a tomboy with a carefree attitude?

While eating the meal prepared by Chisui, the two chatted idly.

However, whenever Gao Ang tries to steer the conversation toward his car, Lao Wan deliberately avoids the topic.

"No, Lao Wan, I asked you to come here to test my brain-computer interface system. Can you please not just give me this perfunctory answer?"

In the end, Gao Feng got impatient and blurted out the important term "brain-computer interface".

"I didn't just give a perfunctory answer; I think it's fine."

After wiping his mouth, Lao Wan was still laughing it off.

"No, aren't you even the slightest bit surprised?"

"Wow, Lao Gao, you're amazing!"

As he spoke, Lao Wan gave a thumbs-up.

Gao Yang was speechless; this was even worse than just going through the motions.

“Sir, she probably thinks you’re bragging.”

The voice of the thousand-year-old came through the unique channel between them.

————

"Me? Bragging? What are you bragging about?"

"I reckon Wan Xinyue thinks you're controlling this car using remote sensing technology..."

Gao Ang was taken aback, blinked twice, and recalled the details from before. He immediately understood.

Just because he made Chitose brake?

"Holy crap, I knew something was off! Turns out this silly girl was trying to protect my pitiful pride!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ang couldn't help but laugh, and in the end, he was half-lying down in the chair, enjoying himself all by himself.

Seeing his expression, Lao Wan sighed slightly. "Lao Gao, scientific research isn't easy. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your Dragon Brain No. 1 is enough to feed you for a lifetime. There's no need to do anything fancy."

Goodness, he's even using words like "empty talk" now. It seems Lao Wan thinks he understands her predicament...

What else can Gao Ang say, that he has actually made brain-computer interfaces work?

Then prove it to her?

He's not a superficial person, and he's past the age of showing off.

No, that's not right. It's not that we've passed the age of showing off, but rather that we've passed the level of showing off.

With his abilities, does he even need to show off?

He desperately wanted to hide himself away, avoiding attracting attention as much as possible.

On the rare occasions when he went viral online, he even took the initiative to quell the controversy.

Whether it was Dongsheng Health, Dongxing Power, or even Xia Weiwei's shareholder status in those companies, he deliberately asked them to keep it a secret.

Currently, besides his name and basic resume, there isn't even a single photo of him online.

There's a saying that goes: the more a person lacks something, the more they want it.

What is Gao Gao lacking right now?

He doesn't care about power; he has plenty of money; and he can't enjoy beautiful women.

That's all. He has everything he needs, so he no longer needs to deliberately show off or attract attention.

Since Lao Wan has misunderstood, let her continue to misunderstand; it will save him the trouble of explaining.

In any case, Lao Wan had come all the way from Hangzhou, so Gao Ang naturally had Qian Sui prepare a sumptuous dinner for her.

"How is it? First time eating food made by a robot, huh?"

He watched Lao Wan start eating with great interest, but he kept staring at Lao Wan.

It wasn't that he coveted her beauty, but rather that watching her immerse herself in the food prepared by the bio-robots he had cultivated gave him a unique sense of accomplishment.

"It's my first time, but you know what, the taste is really good."

With something in her mouth, Lao Wan's speech was unclear, but that didn't stop her from expressing her praise.

"Hehe, Director Zhang said the same thing last time. He was number one, and you were number two."

"Oh? Now that you mention it, I'm not the first one?"

Old Wan glanced up at Gao Ang, unable to figure out what she meant by those words.

"No, Director Zhang is the first one."

"Oh, then the taste is just so-so."

After putting down his chopsticks, Lao Wan got up and stretched.

Why did it suddenly become so-so?

Gao Ang looked at the rich girl with some confusion. Could women be so competitive?

"Um, thank you for helping me today. Let me book you a hotel; it's not safe to drive back tonight."

"No need, I still have a place to stay. Besides, I can book a hotel myself. Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't afford a room?"

Old Wan waved his hand, "Let's go, take me back, my car is still on the island."

A step ahead of Gao Yang, Lao Wan went out the door first.

Hey, you're even more anxious than me!

Gao Feng was completely baffled. What was going on? Why did he feel that there was something else behind the woman's words?

But he couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore. He had other things to do. He needed to get rid of this woman as soon as possible, and he also needed to complete the other follow-up work on the car. He also needed to buy a few more cars and modify them.

The following day, Gao Ang went to the Will dealership and bought 10 more cars, and had them all modified.

He didn't ask how many comrades the old man had, but he figured 10 vehicles should be enough.

The appointment with the old man was for the 18th, but he had to go back a day earlier.

There's still a long time left, I need to find something to do.

"Your Majesty, have there been any recent developments on the outer perimeter?"

"Those parties are all quiet, and there's no movement for the time being."

"I remember there was a news story a few days ago about a steel plate monument being found in some godforsaken place in the mountain country. It was dressed in all sorts of mysterious ways, and people were saying it was made by aliens. Is it true or not?"

I vaguely remember this news, mainly because it immediately topped the trending searches.

"The aliens are just something a few movie buffs came up with themselves. I've already exposed them thoroughly, but I'm too lazy to reveal their secrets."

If Chisui had a mouth, he would definitely purse his lips to express his disdain.

"Personal behavior?"

"With the involvement of the government of the mountain country, as reported in the news, foreigners, including local residents, are prohibited from investigating, which is to cover up the truth."

After hearing what Qian Sui said, and considering the current world situation, Gao Feng understood perfectly.

The Mountain Kingdom is, after all, the leading power at present. Although it is showing signs of collapse, they are unwilling to accept it.

They started creating all sorts of gimmicks to attract attention, and this alien incident is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be other sensational news stories coming out in a while."

"Should I expose this?"

"No need, let them entertain themselves. We'll give them a slap when they finally show their true colors."

Exposing their conspiracy now would be too lenient on them.

If a problem is nipped in the bud, the cost is minimal and negligible.

But wouldn't it be wonderful to let them lose both their money and their lives just when this seedling is about to mature and be harvested?

The greatest despair is not the absence of hope, but the collapse of hope just as it is about to become a reality.

"How about I go to the Hubei Provincial Museum in Beihu, and you guys stay home and watch the house?"

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Ang decided to verify the hypothesis about the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue.

Whether it's true or false, it's better than keeping people in suspense forever.

"Meow." I want to go too.

As soon as Xiao Hua heard that Gao Ang was going out, she immediately jumped down from the wall and onto Gao Ang's shoulder, running around happily.

"What are you going there for? I flew there. Do you want to fly too?"

"Meow." Can't we take a car instead of flying?

"Driving is too slow. It takes a whole day to go back and forth. I have to go back to my hometown in a couple of days."

After hearing Gao Ang's words, Xiao Hua became unhappy. She jumped off his shoulder, scrambled back onto the wall, and sighed in despair.

Gao Ang shook his head speechlessly and hurried over to coax his good brother. It took a lot of effort to finally calm him down.

To appease Xiaohua, Gao Ang made a series of promises, mostly about food, which were easy to agree to.

After settling everything at home, Gao Ang flew directly over the Beihu Provincial Museum.

According to online sources, the Sword of Goujian should be kept here.

"Something's not right. We haven't found any trace of the Goujian Sword."

Gao Ang used his X-ray vision to look inside and out of the Beihu Provincial Museum, but he still couldn't find a trace of the Goujian Sword.

He did find a model, but he could tell at a glance that it was a fake.

With modern alloy processing techniques and some external packaging, in terms of molecular structure, it's at most a pretty good piece of craftsmanship. As for metal memory, it's simply impossible, and there are no unknown elements inside.

"Your Excellency, is it possible to find the whereabouts of Goujian's sword on the public internet?"

"We checked, and there's no information indicating that this sword has ever left the country."

When Qian Sui raised the question, Gao Ang had already started searching for information online, but unfortunately, he still found nothing.

"It seems there is indeed something wrong with this sword."

There's a problem with this. It doesn't necessarily mean that the sword has metal memory function; it's also possible that the sword was stolen or something like that...

However, after a little thought, Gao Feng dismissed the idea.

"How could it be stolen? This is a national treasure! It's prohibited from leaving the country, and the security measures must be extremely strict. Where could it have gone?"

Suspended high in the air, Gao Tai sat cross-legged, carefully studying the departments above him.

The fact that the Beihu Provincial Museum doesn't even have it means that the sword has already left Beihu Province.

Once you leave the province, you have to go to an even more important one.

Is there any province more awesome than Kyoto?

After all, it was the capital of the Eastern Kingdom, and top talents from all industries gathered there.

"Could it be stored in the Palace Museum?"

Thinking of this possibility, Gao Ang suddenly remembered something: this year marks the 600th anniversary of the completion of the Forbidden City in Kyoto.

Construction of the Kyoto Imperial Palace began in the fourth year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1406), modeled after the Nanjing Imperial Palace, and was completed in the eighteenth year of the Yongle reign (1420).

From 1420 to 2020, it's exactly 600 years!

"Could it be that, in order to enhance the prestige of the Palace Museum, they even brought over the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue?"

But it shouldn't be that serious. If it were such behavior, there would definitely be official explanations.

That means the reason why the original Goujian Sword is not in the Beihu Provincial Museum is most likely because it has been preserved in some unknown place for some kind of protection or research.

Forget about researching it; it's been decades. They've probably already done everything that could be researched. The most likely scenario is protection.

"No, I'm connecting the properties of the three newly discovered unknown elements to shape memory metals. Maybe those experts at the Academy of Sciences have also discovered the same problem?"

However, there is a prerequisite: that experts from the Academy of Sciences discover the properties of this element.

"It shouldn't be difficult. Their database must contain analysis records of the elements on the Goujian Sword. By comparing these with the unknown elements on this meteorite, the result should be clear, right?"

It wasn't difficult to verify this conjecture. Gao Ang returned to Changying Island and immediately called Xu Qing:

"Officer, I think you guys are being a bit unprofessional, aren't you?"

Gao Ang did not employ any roundabout tactics; he went straight to the point.

"What's the meaning?"

"It's nothing special. I was the one who told you about the three unknown elements on the meteorite, right? And I generously shared half of the raw materials with you, wasn't that right?"

"That's right."

"Then I don't understand. If you knew that similar elements had appeared on Earth before, why didn't you tell me?"

In fact, Gao Ang was not sure if the Goujian Sword definitely contained these elements. He pretended to know them just to bluff Xu Qing.

There was no sound from the other end, but the call hadn't ended.

It seems that silent mode has been selected.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Qing put her phone on silent mode and said helplessly to her squad leader, "Squad leader, that kid Gao Ang seems to have found out something. He directly said that we were unfair for not sharing information with him."
