Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen finally got their wish and entered the research and development department.
They soon discovered that the level of technological development in this timeline was indeed as they had analyzed before—it was quite advanced, and in some aspects even surpassed their own timeline.
However, they actually used most of their technological achievements to continuously update and optimize the counter.
Tens of thousands of researchers sit in front of rows of computers every day, monitoring the data transmitted back by the counters.
This is to manage ordinary people more tightly.
The tasks assigned to Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai were the same as those of the others: sitting in front of the computer all day looking at data and finding vulnerabilities.
Once the vulnerability is found, access to the core control room can be granted to patch it.
Fortunately, the equipment they needed was located in the core control room.
They will soon be able to return to their own time and space.
...
The research staff all wore gray coats and were known as the Gray-Clad Men.
The gray-clad men not only received much better treatment, but they also had two days off every five days, with everyone taking turns to rest in small teams.
Five days later, it was finally Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai's turn to rest.
The two returned to the villa early in the morning to exchange information with the other guests.
After a few days apart, they reunited and were relieved to see that both sides were safe and sound.
Lin Yi led Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai to the kitchen to see the supplies they had recently stocked up on.
"We've stocked up on basic canned food, water, and medicine. So you two don't need to be under too much pressure. Even if we can't fix the transmitter in a short time, we can hold out for several months."
Qin Yubai nodded, feeling much more relieved.
After all, he couldn't guarantee that his and Jian Zhizhen's plan would be completely free of any unexpected events.
Now that they have a way out, they can go ahead and do it.
After inspecting the supplies, everyone gathered in the living room again.
Jian Zhizhen sat down on the sofa. Xu Qiuyuan originally intended to sit next to her as usual, but Xie Anxia beat him to it and squeezed in.
Xie Anxia looked at Jian Zhizhen expectantly: "Jian Zhizhen, when can we go back? I'm relatively safe here, but it's so boring every day. All I do is eat and sleep, and I can't go anywhere..."
Seeing Xie Anxia's intimate attitude towards Jian Zhizhen, Zhai Qinghe across from her rolled her eyes.
These past few days, every time she woke up, she would hear Xie Anxia muttering beside her, "Why hasn't Jian Zhizhen come back yet?"
If you didn't know better, you'd think she fell in love with a female guest on a dating reality show, since she's so hung up on her.
She couldn't stand Xie Anxia anymore, but she couldn't possibly take the initiative to befriend Xu Qiuyuan, the mistress.
So I've been having a really tough time lately.
Jian Zhizhen wasn't used to being too intimate with Xie Anxia, so he subtly removed her hand under the pretext of rummaging through his bag.
She took several sheets of paper out of her bag, spread them out on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and showed them to everyone.
"Qin Yubai and I were just about to tell everyone about going back. We've found the supercomputer we need and have completed the preparations for transmitting the signal using it. Once the time comes, we can go back."
Everyone crowded around to look at the blueprints that Jian Zhizhen had laid out; they were all filled with calculation formulas related to quantum particles.
They didn't understand, and they didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, the key point is the last sentence: We can go back!
The guests were all very excited.
However, while Lin Yi was excited, he also had some concerns.
He hesitated for a moment, then said to Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai, "I'm worried about you two, with so much pressure on your shoulders. Why don't I go with you? If the natives find us, I can protect you."
Qin Yubai immediately wanted to refuse.
He felt that he and Jian Zhizhen could manage on their own, and having another person would only be a burden.
But when he looked at Jian Zhizhen, he suddenly saw the obvious emotion in her eyes.
She knows Lin Yi cares about her, so she should be very happy and probably willing to fight alongside her brother.
So Qin Yubai swallowed the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue.
"That's fine too."
As Qin Yubai spoke, he took out another piece of paper, which was a floor plan.
"This is a map of the area. The red dots indicate surveillance cameras, and the numbers indicate the patrol speed. Remember this well."
Lin Yi looked at it carefully and nodded.
Qin Yubai pointed to one of the spots, "After we safely arrive at this location, we'll meet up with you. Be very careful here; this is their core database, so the walls and floors of the outer corridor are equipped with high-voltage grids and magnetrons. Simply put, it's a giant microwave oven. Anyone who enters without authorization will die in three minutes. So you must wait until I or Jian Zhizhen have the necessary authorization to bring you in."
These past few days, he and Jian Zhizhen have been getting up to go to the bathroom every 45 minutes.
This led other monitors to suspect that the two of them had kidney problems.
Actually, the two of them went to draw maps.
Now that they've infiltrated that area, they'll certainly be prepared to protect themselves.
Lin Yi took the map and nodded: "Okay, it's settled then. I will carefully memorize every detail of the map."
After discussing the important matters, Zhou Sui moved closer to Jian Zhizhen and asked with a smile, "Hey Jian Zhizhen, how's that place?"
Jian Zhizhen thought for a moment and said, "Except for that microwave corridor which is extremely inhumane, everything else is similar to a regular company. The pressure is not high, the earnings are high, and the company benefits are actually quite good."
Zhou Sui was somewhat disappointed: "It sounds really normal."
