Chapter 278 Phoenix Feather



Gu Qingwan nodded in agreement, her hand unconsciously supporting her cheek as she looked intently at Jiang Cheng.

“Perfect solution, boss,” she said.

"According to my estimation, he should be in charge of the integrated part of the light weapon and the robotic arm, while the design should be handled entirely by that genius. His 'Sealed Ice Blade' project greatly shocked me; he truly deserves the title of genius. We should give such a person a great deal of freedom and complete trust so that he will be willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to the Federation's research, setting aside all prejudices. I never restrict him too much. There are very few people in the entire world who can realize those wildly imaginative ideas, which is why the 'Sealed Ice Blade' project received such a large allocation."

Gu Qingwan had a number in mind: a budget in the tens of figures, allowing that cold weapon prodigy to spend it however he wanted, and Jiang Cheng had given it such high praise.

The funding for the "Dust-Sealed Ice Blade" project is roughly three to four times that of other research projects.

"The boss is wise."

“Not only that,” Jiang Cheng’s voice suddenly lowered a little. Although it was completely unnecessary—there wouldn’t be many living people in his dining area, and only a few high-ranking officials would be able to get in through the layers of security, and Gu Qingwan would give him a heads-up—he still lowered his voice. “Regarding the mecha carrying modern cold weapons, I have had all the design plans backed up, and we’ve placed our people in every research project. When the war ends, this will be a huge asset for us.”

He ate slowly and deliberately, his voice so calm, yet these words could almost change the future of the world.

The surface of the planet is dotted with countless countries, which are like pieces on a chessboard.

The Federation City is home to countless elite troops, who are also pawns in the game.

These are the elite of scientific research, the confidants of China, and fierce generals who charge into battle on the chessboard.

As wise people, with every step we take, we must not only see what is in front of us, but also what will happen decades to come.

Even more miraculously, they can foresee the historical changes of the next hundred years.

For example, the first sentence of the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" states: "The world, after a long period of division, will unite; after a long period of unity, will divide."

That's an incredibly insightful understanding.

Jiang Cheng recently passed the age indicated on his ID card; he turned twenty and became the player sitting at the chessboard.

Gu Qingwan was increasingly amazed by the speed at which a boy was growing into a man.

This kind of growth can happen in an instant; a boy who used to wipe his nose on his sleeve, was careless, forgetful, and shy, can change. He no longer cares about those intangible things, no longer indulges in fleeting pleasures, no longer depends on others, no longer gets easily impulsive and angry, and knows what he truly wants.

They can talk fluently with strangers, navigate social situations with ease, maintain appropriate silence, and possess a grand inner world.

This is how a man should be.

Gu Qingwan admired her boss. He was just a mortal human being, yet he dared to do things that even the gods feared.

Does God not fear being a leader? Because everyone harbors ulterior motives, plotting to overthrow the boat, vying for fame and profit, and committing heinous crimes. If eating God's flesh could bring freedom from disease and calamity, then tomorrow someone would start building a ladder to heaven.

God can only be concerned with his own well-being; he cannot have the world in his heart.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Cheng sat down to rest. He asked Gu Qingwan, "It's been two days now. How's the new course going? Has that assassin done anything unusual?"

"No, she is very obedient and teaches her courses diligently. The students' responses are also quite good. They are much more enthusiastic about the new courses than about the previous academic subjects. Since these people were carefully selected by us, their learning speed and reaction speed are both excellent. I believe they will soon be able to learn the basic sword skills. As for the more advanced ones, it will depend on their comprehension."

"Okay, let's go to the middle floor of the building. I saw that Feng Yu was almost ready this morning, so let's try to start it up later."

"Okay, boss."

The two got up and prepared to leave the place where they had eaten.

Soon, they arrived at the middle floor of the Federal Research Building.

Stepping out of the elevator, the densely packed structure before me was astonishing. Right in the middle of the reinforced concrete building, the innermost part of these gray buildings was completely openwork. Several extremely thick silver pillars stretched from bottom to top to the rooftop of the building. The pillars were smooth all over, with many grooves on them, forming an embracing shape, and inside them was a huge circular platform.

A new battle maiden was placed there.

Her name is Feng Yu.

To be precise, she is not a type of Yuki-onna, because the space for Phoenix Feather to move around on land is very small, and her energy configuration is not designed for flexible movement. Her true battlefield is the sky.

Phoenix Feather has two forms, designed by Jiang Cheng and a group of researchers. One is an ergonomic design, and the other is in flight mode. It has two extremely wide and powerful wings that are more than 50 meters wide when unfolded, and its speed is terrifying, comparable to the world's smallest hummingbird.

With this speed, its energy consumption is terrifying. The energy used for one minute of flight is equivalent to firing a plasma cannon, enough to power a city of about 10,000 people for ten years, or to keep a factory running day and night for more than 400 days.

Furthermore, in pursuit of ultimate speed, Feng Yu abandoned all weight-bearing elements, using the lightest materials in the world. Researchers searched for a long time but could not find a way to achieve both stability and lightness, so her defenses were extremely weak.
