In Taicang Group, Li Yuanxiu's position is unshakable.
He wasn't just the chairman's son, but also the group's youngest core technical leader, single-handedly leading Taicang's major breakthroughs in the mecha field. His talent for research and development was so high that even his father, Li Tiance, was astonished. In many high-level meetings, his opinions carried more weight than those of experienced engineers, even directly influencing the group's technological direction.
Unlike other children of powerful people, Li Yuanxiu is extremely cunning.
He wasn't prone to explosive anger like Zhao Qingluan, nor did he express his disdain for lower-class people like Liu Jingxiao. Instead, he was gentle and humble, even often visiting labs to discuss technical issues with engineers, acting like an ordinary R&D staffer.
But if anyone underestimates him because of this, they would be very wrong.
His ambition is greater than anyone else's.
Li Yuanxiu stood in the Taicang Group's core mecha laboratory, his gaze fixed on the complex data flashing across the holographic screen. Surrounding him were dozens of engineers, all of them Taicang's top R&D personnel.
The air was filled with a faint scent of metal and psychic energy. Only the light from the screen shone on everyone's faces, reflecting a rigorous and tense atmosphere.
"Nascent Soul-level mecha... is just the beginning."
Li Yuanxiu's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it carried an aura of pressure that could not be ignored, as if what he said was natural.
The engineers held their breath involuntarily.
"We can't be satisfied with the Nascent Soul stage. That's just a technological innovation for those 'mediocrities.'" Li Yuanxiu's tone was calm, yet carried unquestionable authority. "Our real goal is a Divine Transformation-level mecha, or even... higher."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Divine Transformation Level? This idea was too crazy!
After a moment's silence, an elderly engineer finally spoke, his tone filled with caution and hesitation. "Boss Li, the spiritual energy output of a Divine Transformation-class mecha has long exceeded the capabilities of our existing core. Even if we resolve the engine issue, how it can withstand the spiritual pressure of a Divine Transformation cultivator remains unknown..."
“The unknown means there is room for exploration.”
Li Yuanxiu smiled slightly, walked to the front of the experimental table, pointed his finger at the holographic screen, and projected a psychic resonance core design that was so complicated that it made one's scalp tingle.
"This is something I've been researching recently," he said calmly, his gaze sweeping over the group. "Its theoretical architecture allows a mecha to withstand psychic energy output far exceeding its own limits for a short period of time, while also preventing self-destruction from psychic overload."
The engineers were stunned.
They stared at the design on the screen, their hearts filled with shock.
"This... is this a simulation of the spiritual energy circulation in the body of a Divine Transformation Monk?!" a senior engineer exclaimed in shock.
Li Yuanxiu nodded, his expression calm. "The psychic resonance synchronizes the mecha with the user, allowing it to burst out with strength beyond the Nascent Soul level in a short period of time."
The atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly became heated.
They had just stepped into the realm of Nascent Soul-level mechas, while Li Yuanxiu... had already moved to a higher level and was even building the future of the God Transformation-level mechas.
This man was far ahead of his time.
Li Yuanxiu never reveals his ambitions in front of others. In fact, in the eyes of many people, he is a gentle and humble technical genius who is willing to support younger generations.
He could eat with engineers in the laboratory, and would occasionally personally guide newcomers. Even in the workshop, many low-level maintenance workers had heard of his name and knew that this young heir was a "tech geek without airs."
He would not humiliate the lower class people at will like Zhao Qingluan, nor would he treat them as playthings like Liu Jingxiao. Even when facing ordinary engineers, he would smile encouragingly and give some guidance at the right time, making people mistakenly believe that he truly respects all those who work hard.
But those who truly understand him know that all this is just an "image" he carefully created.
In Li Yuanxiu's eyes, people at the bottom of society are worthless.
"Respect a person not because of who he is, but because of what he is worth." This is the creed that Li Yuanxiu often says.
As long as a person is useful enough, he will give him enough opportunities and resources, and even personally guide him and support his growth.
But if a person is useless, has no potential, and makes no contribution, then in Li Yuanxiu's eyes, this person is no different from garbage.
He never easily reveals dislike, nor does he readily offer approval. His smile is always gentle and appropriate, and his eyes seem kind, but beneath that gentle exterior lies a calculating, machine-like precision.
"I won't be satisfied with a Yuanying-level mecha."
In front of the experimental table, Li Yuanxiu stared quietly at the model in front of him. The data on the holographic screen kept changing. His fingertips slid lightly, outlining a new path for the psychic circuit.
"By the time everyone is still fighting tooth and nail for Nascent Soul-level mechas, I'll already be on the path to becoming a God."
He stretched out his hand and drew a parameter curve. Amidst the interweaving of light and shadow, the prototype of the concept of a god-level mecha was projected out, like a magnificent and unattainable peak.
"They will fight to the death for the Nascent Soul-level mecha, but I will go further."
This is Li Yuanxiu.
A man with more patience and more hidden secrets than anyone else.
He never shows off, nor does he easily reveal his true thoughts. He is willing to let others think that he is just an ordinary technical genius, willing to let others mistakenly think that he is just an ambitious but not crazy person.
But in fact, when everyone was still arguing about the Nascent Soul-level mecha, he was already planning the future of the God Transformation Era.
