About a few dozen seconds later, Jiang Cheng stood by the door. The corridor was brightly lit, but behind him was darkness. In a secluded corner, RBN seemed to be stuck, muttering two words repeatedly.
It said, "Hello... Hello..."
It seemed to murmur endlessly, like a nightmare that would never cease.
Jiang Cheng curled the corners of his lips, slowly turned around, and walked calmly to the glass jar. His youthful voice rang out, responding to the neutral voice, "Hey, don't you know how to say a second thing?"
RBN seemed to choke on his words. It was like a mute who had never spoken before, always unfamiliar, so its tone was a bit strange.
In the stillness of the night, a non-living creation and a man were having a question-and-answer session in the laboratory. They were shrouded in darkness, and even the bright moonlight could not reveal their full presence.
······
In the process of advancing in space docking, it is quite fitting to describe these researchers as valiant warriors, because those who wear armor are no longer human; they are cold-blooded propulsion machines with only the target location in their eyes, nothing else.
Goering often felt that Jiang Cheng was unreal because his personal charm and research acumen during the research process were so perfect that they seemed unbelievable.
He firmly believes that there are no perfect humans in the world.
Whenever a new problem arises, Jiang Cheng can always come up with a new direction after a brief period of thought. As they follow the orders, they find that the path of the plan has been broadened once again, which undoubtedly greatly improves the progress of the docking plan.
Jiang Cheng is decisive, unwavering, resolute, and efficient. In his scientific research, he always carries a fearless, charging spirit, and any decision he makes that sends any "soldiers" into the fray is correct, with virtually no mistakes.
After about twenty days of the space docking project, and once everyone had fully adapted to his pace, many people began to feel fortunate that Jiang Cheng was the leader of this project.
They realized one thing: in the world today, no one can do better than Jiang Cheng.
Goering felt that achieving perfection in a particular field was astonishing, and his team leader had done just that.
Thus, in a short period of time, the probe was developed, using the most advanced materials and energy technologies available, resulting in a significant improvement in propulsion speed compared to its predecessor.
Then, the brain-like combined detector officially began, and they introduced new topics.
Unbeknownst to everyone in the same laboratory, Jiang Cheng and RBN had formed a kind of spiritual connection.
This means that Jiang Cheng can call upon it in his mind at any time and issue commands to RBN No. 4 to calculate some necessary data. It was born to process massive and complex information. Jiang Cheng was already terrifying without a brain-like computer, but with the assistance of RBN No. 4, which can perform calculations at any time, he is even more powerful.
While Jiang Cheng was deep in thought, he was actually communicating with Number Four and arriving at a new set of data.
Simply put, he has a cheat code.
After some time, when the experiment had progressed to the point where the brain-like object and the detector could be matched, and the newly manufactured detector was the body, then No. 4 became the brain of this steel body.
It has become intimately familiar with every part of the steel body. Next, all that's left is to load fuel, submit the application, and once approved, it can take off.
The process may seem simple, but only the researchers themselves know how much hardship they endured. They worked tirelessly to witness every tiny step forward in the project.
A joyful heart, expectant eyes, and constant worry day and night... these are probably the emotions in their hearts.
One night.
In the observation building, a sleepless night in a foreign land.
An endless darkness drifted across the horizon, moonlight hung above the mountain peaks, and as the first hint of dawn appeared, the mountains became hazy in the distance.
Jiang Cheng didn't sleep, and neither did any of the researchers in the lab.
After a 22-hour test, the probe was finally declared a success and met the criteria for launch into space. In the laboratory, everyone slumped in their chairs to rest, no one spoke, they were all in a daze.
Perhaps because they had been in a state of high tension for a long time, the sudden relaxation made their nerves feel uneasy, and fatigue began to creep into their bodies.
But no one moved; the researchers were all immersed in a strange atmosphere, as if enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
You don't need to do anything... you don't need to think about anything, you can just space out. There's no relentless pressure from the devilish team leader, no tasks hanging over your head, and no abnormal data to worry about.
This feeling is really good.
I forget which philosopher said it... He said that humans are born to experience pain and pleasure because we are not empty individuals; we have life, we have color in our eyes, we see everything in this world, and at the same time, we feel it.
Why fear suffering? Even though everyone understands that the process is painful and agonizing, it is never something to be celebrated.
However, by surviving this hellish experience, one can potentially achieve a better version of themselves.
This statement couldn't be more fitting for the researchers involved in the space docking project. They persevered despite a cold-blooded team leader and a research project with no end in sight.
Even if there is only one rock under your feet that you can stand on, and next to the rock is scalding, bubbling lava, it is a terrifying hell.
Dawn slowly arrived, the first rays of light appeared on the horizon, and the sun, which had been hidden beneath the mountains, peeked out, its light pouring mercilessly into the windows of the building and onto the faces of the researchers.
