Wang Zheng rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy was being a bit dramatic.
However, at this moment, Major General Tang was truly provoked, and he was already cursing under his breath.
What does Chu Tianxing's injury have to do with them? His opinion doesn't count.
But the kid in front of him was stubborn and headstrong, determined to be violent and uncooperative. At this point, the situation became deadlocked.
Now, not only does Tang Guoan feel wronged, but Huo Lianrong also feels bitter inside.
This old man had been researching psionic weapons for most of his life. His discovery in Yunnan finally gave the project a turning point. He originally thought that his years of research could finally make progress, but he didn't expect that the principle of the scarab spirit crystal changing its form could not be replicated at all.
This greatly disappointed him, so he changed his approach.
If he doesn't understand the principle, he can study it slowly later. As long as the results can be achieved, that's fine too. Anyway, this insect is easy to raise, so he simply settled for second best and went straight to making finished products for experiments.
That's how scientific research is, isn't it? Everyone's just trying their luck. Whoever's lucky gets to produce results first.
With the addition of a group of big names from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, his team instantly began to operate at high speed. After the scarabs from Yunnan were delivered, the ambitious "psychic bomb" project of the Imperial Capital Research Institute was officially launched.
Thanks to the strong support of the country, a water-type spirit crystal, which they named "Psionic Bomb No. 1," was successfully produced in just two days.
However, the No. 1 produced was weak and rather mediocre.
But the plan made progress, which proved their conjecture to be correct, and this achievement excited the entire Imperial Capital Research Institute.
As for the issue of insufficient power... water-based abilities are inherently weak, and the awakener of this ability was only a B-rank, so they didn't take it seriously.
At that time, everyone in the "Psionic Bomb" project team was full of confidence in the future of the Psionic Bomb.
They believed that with so much information on awakened individuals across the country gathered in the capital, they could surely find the most powerful elemental energy and then mass-produce it.
Huo Lianrong was extremely excited at the time, feeling that the plan he had dedicated his life to finally had hope.
Sure enough, in the following period, more and more Awakened Ones who could change the form of the Scarab Spirit Crystal were discovered, and the psionic bombs of No. 2, No. 3... No. 15 were discovered one after another.
Overwhelmed by the progress of the experiment, the project team was ecstatic, which is why they didn't take Wang Zheng seriously.
After all, the report from Yunnan only mentioned that Lieutenant Wang Zheng's spiritual energy crystals could explode and were very powerful.
However, no specific description was given regarding its strength; it was only briefly mentioned that it was suspected of being burned by a fourth-grade alien beast.
Since things have come to this, why go to such great lengths to find Wang Zheng? Why don't they just find a more powerful elemental ability user to test it out themselves?
And so this search kept our young master Wang waiting for over a month...
However, the higher you fly, the harder you often fall.
Over the course of the past month, the psionic bombs have been upgraded to model 114, but most of these modified psionic crystals are only of average power.
The destructive power it unleashed was comparable to the explosion of a third-grade exotic beast's spirit crystal, but it was nowhere near as powerful as the spirit energy grenade Wang Zheng used in Yunnan.
Let alone a fourth-grade exotic beast, even a third-grade one would be in trouble.
Moreover, not only is its power low, but it is also difficult to produce and its production cost is not low.
If you deduct the cost of the spirit crystals they produced, it can only be described as a completely counterproductive and money-losing endeavor.
This batch of "psychic bombs" serves no purpose other than being purchased by wealthy and powerful families for self-defense by their lower-level awakened members or ordinary people.
Only after the project team had tested all the different types of spirit crystals they had on hand did they finally turn their attention back to Wang Zheng.
Then Huo Lianrong rushed to Jingnan, wanting to see how the founder of the "spiritual energy bomb" managed to injure a fourth-grade alien beast.
Could there be a problem with the production process that caused the power of the spirit crystal explosion to decrease...?
What he didn't expect was that before he even started discussing future cooperation with anyone, the young man was first seriously provoked by his own student, and then had a conflict with the person in charge of the military region.
Then, he simply mentioned the research institute's requirements for him, and the major exploded.
Huo Lianrong was also surprised by how fierce young people are these days. A 17-year-old major! What does that even mean? He quit just like that. His epaulets are still lying on the table. He's just waiting to get into a fight.
He felt wronged. Chu Tianxing's injuries had nothing to do with this incident. The young major kept saying that this was not a reward for merit, but now he was using the treatment of Chu Tianxing as an excuse to cooperate with the capital's test.
He was also a little confused; why did young people these days have no sense of collective honor?
Given the current situation, it's a miracle that a fight hasn't broken out, let alone getting them to come back to the capital to cooperate with the research.
What's even more outrageous is that this guy, who would be a troublemaker anywhere, is treated like a treasure by the Jingnan Military Region.
Tang Guoan and Huo Lianrong exchanged a glance, and both saw a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes.
The next task is going to be tough...
