Chapter 712 Everyone's here to see the big boss, the failed Bi'er [1 update]
Bi'er is a popular figure at the research institute, and she also frequently does live streams on W website, so both new and old students know her.
Seeing that she was going to find Suwen, the people around her stepped back slightly to make way for her.
Bi'er respectfully greeted her, "Auntie."
Suwen stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, as if he had just noticed Bi'er.
She seemed somewhat surprised, but her expression remained unchanged; she simply nodded slightly: "You're here too?"
The three words were plain and simple, yet they were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, instantly waking Bi'er up.
Bi'er's expression stiffened, and she could clearly hear that the surrounding sounds had become much quieter.
A blush rose to her face, and she lowered her head, her voice very soft: "Aunt, what brings you here today?"
"Come and take a look." Su Wen didn't say much, just adjusted her cloak and nodded. "You go about your business, I won't bother you."
After saying that, she went straight into the research institute without looking at Bi'er again.
Bi'er froze on the spot, feeling a rush of blood to her head, her brain congested, and she experienced a moment of tinnitus.
The others around her also noticed something amiss, glanced at her a few times, and then dispersed.
Xu Jingshan was half ashamed and half surprised: "Isn't Madam Suwen here to see Miss Bi'er?"
Besides Biel, are there any other members of the Leunger family at the research institute?
There seem to be a few other members from the collateral branches, but none of them are as high in status as Bi'er.
Who else would be worth Suwen making a trip for in person?
"Shut your mouth." Bi'er was in a bad mood, her eyes darkening. "I'm going to see the instructor. The test flight ceremony this afternoon is crucial. Make sure everyone is prepared."
She shouldn't have gone up there.
As a second-class citizen, could Xu Jingshan clearly understand how intense the infighting within the Lenger family was?
Bi'er left with a livid face.
Xu Jingshan knew he was in the wrong, and slunk away, not daring to say another word.

Inside the research institute.
Group B also submitted their experimental report.
Ying Zijin turned her head: "We'll meet at the launch site at 2 PM this afternoon. Don't feel any pressure. Both test flights can be completed."
The first test flight will not be manned.
Astronauts will be sent up a second time.
If you fail the first time, there will naturally be no second time.
Ye Siqing nodded: "Junior Sister Ying, with you here, of course we have no psychological burden."
She hesitated for a moment: "But I just heard that the spaceship designed by Group A is capable of making space jumps of 30,000 light-years."
This is even further than theirs.
If both groups build a spaceship, the one that flies farther will naturally get a higher score.
Furthermore, if she scores first in Group A, Bi'er will be able to obtain the qualification of an S-level researcher.
“There’s an 80% chance that the jump won’t be possible.” Ying Zijing turned her head. “Senior Sister Ye, didn’t I tell you that there was a problem with your previous blueprint?”
“Yes.” Ye Siqing nodded. “But Xu Jingshan went to Group A, so he won’t be allowed to make the core power unit. He can only make the wings and other parts.”
“But his thinking hasn’t changed,” Ying Zijin said calmly. “Back then, the diagram of the core power unit he drew was too focused on high power and neglected balance.”
“Even if he were just making wings or other devices, this would still happen.”
Ye Siqing suddenly realized: "Does Junior Sister Ying mean that their spaceship might explode?"
Once you lose your balance, how can you fly?
"Probably." Ying Zijing took out a baseball cap, put it on, and waved her hand slightly. "I'll find out this afternoon."
She parted ways with Ye Siqing and went to the grove behind the dormitory building.
Suwen was already waiting there.
The woman stood quietly under the willow tree, the wind lifting the hem of her skirt.
Sunlight fell on her sun hat, casting dappled shadows.
Time seemed to stand still for her; she was as beautiful as an ancient painting.
Ying Zijing paused for a moment before stepping forward and saying, "Auntie."
“I know you’ve been working hard on experiments these past few days, so I specially made some soup.” Suwen stepped forward, took the girl’s hand, and her eyes softened unconsciously. “It’s already in the insulated container. You can drink it with your classmates at noon.”
Ying Zijing nodded: "Thank you, Auntie."
"So, are you confident about today's test flight ceremony?" Suwen pulled her to sit down on the bench next to her. "I specifically logged into the W website's live broadcast section to check, and there are already 200,000 people who have made reservations."
"I'm confident." Ying Zijin looked up at the sky. "If all goes well, we can fly out of the Milky Way."
But she is still very, very far from her goal.
"To fly this far on your first try is quite impressive." Su Wen nodded, and when she looked up, she saw a tall and slender figure walking towards her.
A low, gentle voice, tinged with amusement, rang out: "Yaoyao."
Suwen was somewhat surprised, but even more delighted: "Is it your boyfriend?"
Ying Zijing waved her hand and nodded slightly: "Yes."
Suwen's eyes were filled with nostalgia, and her smile was gentle as she said, "I met Ayuan when I was your age."
Nineteen years old, the best years of life.
When the man walked in, Suwen finally saw his face clearly.
Peach blossom eyes, with light amber pupils.
He was handsome with fair, pale skin.
Her naturally stunning beauty captivates all.
Fu Yunshen patted the girl's head and nodded to Su Wen: "Auntie, thank you so much. She's a picky eater, but she really likes the pastries you make."
Suwen did not answer; her expression hardened. "Is your mother's surname Fu, and her given name Liuying?"
Fu Yunshen's hand paused, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly: "Does Auntie know my mother?"
“I wouldn’t say we know each other, but we’ve met before.” Suwen sighed. “She even gave me a bottle of perfume, which cured my insomnia that I’d had for years.”
“She was a very strong person. I was deeply impressed by her. Later, after I married into the Leinger family, I heard about some things between her and the Yu family.”
Fu Liuying was skilled in perfumery.
The fragrances she blended had a variety of functions and became a sensation in both Beijing and Shanghai.
“Miss Fu, she—” Su Wen keenly noticed the change in the man’s emotions, so she changed the subject and smiled, “Let’s take a walk together.”

afternoon.
Many people came to the launch site.
Norton came too.
He wore a mask, so his face wasn't visible, but his silver hair was still very striking.
Not to mention, he was accompanied by a 120cm tall girl.
People around them kept turning around to look at this extremely mismatched couple.
Sinai was short, and there were many onlookers, so she couldn't see what was in front of her at all.
She crouched down and pressed the button on the shoe as usual, only to find nothing.
Sinai looked down at her new shoes and fell silent: "..."
She forgot that her clothes and shoes had been changed.
A lazy voice came down from above her head: "Want to see?"
Sinai raised her head, met those deep, dark green eyes again, and nodded.
Norton crossed his arms and lowered his head slightly: "Beg me."
Sinai: "..."
How could this person be so wicked?
Sinai looked around and noticed a tree nearby.
She rubbed her hands together, ready to climb up.
Before she could get there, her collar was grabbed, and then her feet slowly lifted off the ground.
"Tsk." Norton lifted the little girl up with one hand and placed her on his shoulder, casually. "Then I'll reluctantly let you take a look."
Sinai huddled up in a ball, too afraid to move.
She missed the time when she was by Ying Zijin's side very much.
Although Ying Zijing also likes to mention her in this way, she won't bully her.
Seeing this, Xize coughed up a mouthful of water: "Cough cough cough!"
He choked, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "You bastard, you've finally met your match."
To prevent Sinai from falling, Norton didn't turn around, and smiled coldly: "What's it to you?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to laugh." Xize shrugged. "It's rare to see this side of you, you should laugh more."
Seeing Norton like this, he decided he shouldn't have children.
You're just asking for trouble.
Sinai glanced at Caesar, wanting to grab his golden hair: "Is he a sage too?"
“He’s not,” Norton said calmly. “Sit up straight.”
"oh."
Sinai responded, her attention already drawn away.
In front, in the center of the launch site, are two small spacecraft, each capable of carrying three people into space.
The live stream has also been connected to W network, and more and more people are entering the live stream room.
Spaceships are already common in the world's cities.
Anyone can go to Mars and Jupiter as long as they have the money to buy a ticket.
[I came for Miss Bi'er.]
[For +1]
This was a piece of cake for Miss Bea; she had already designed the core propulsion system for the spaceship last year.
Bi'er stood next to the testing equipment, looking somewhat arrogant.
If she gets first place in this experiment, she'll be promoted to S-level researcher.
She glanced at another spaceship, then quickly looked away.
The contempt was obvious.
"She's really annoying." Ye Siqing frowned. "She hasn't even taken flight yet. Maybe she'll explode just like you said, Junior Sister Ying."
Ying Zijin rolled up her sleeves: "Don't worry about others, just watch."
On the other side.
"Instructor Mo Feng, please launch it." The staff member took a step back, respectfully.
Mo Feng nodded, sat down in front of the transmitter, and then pressed the button.
With a loud "boom," Group A's spaceship quickly took off.
The speed went from slow to fast, and it quickly flew into the sky.
It's stable and steadily rising.
As expected of Miss Bi'er.
[Another day of cheering for Miss Bea!]
Mo Feng also smiled.
This is Bea's first complete spaceship, and it means a lot to her.
"We've already entered space." The staff kept monitoring the situation. "Once the flight is stable, we can perform a space jump at any time."
However, just as those words were spoken...
"boom!"
A loud bang came from high in the sky.
At this point, the spaceship had risen to an altitude that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
The sound is also inaudible to the naked ear.
However, the ground-based instruments responsible for the testing captured both the images and sounds clearly.
The surveillance footage showed that one of the right wings of the spaceship built by Group A suddenly exploded out of thin air.
You can even see sparks flying everywhere.
With the wing exploding, the spaceship immediately lost its balance and wobbled in the air.
Although it can still fly, it absolutely cannot perform space jumps, let alone fly out of the solar system.
Mo Feng's expression changed.
The sounds from the crowd abruptly ceased.
Even the reporter in charge of the live broadcast was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
A few seconds later, the live stream chat exploded with comments.
[Damn, it failed???]
"No way, am I blind? How could I have failed?"
[This didn't even involve a spatial jump!]
Bi'er took a deep breath, her face so dark it was almost dripping with water: "Who was in charge of designing the wings?"
Because Suwen suddenly woke up, the twenty-year-long situation of the Leinger family was disrupted overnight.
During the last week, Bi'er frequently traveled between her home and the research institute, and she delegated some steps to her team members.
The members of Group A looked at each other, and all turned to look at Xu Jingshan.
Xu Jingshan's face also stiffened, and he stammered, "Miss Bi... Miss Bi'er, it's me, I..."
He tested the data several times and confirmed that there was absolutely no problem, so how could the wing suddenly explode?
Xu Jingshan suddenly remembered something Ying Zijing had said when he defected from Group B—
"This drawing has major problems and cannot be used."
For the past ten days or so, Xu Jingshan hasn't taken those words to heart at all.
But now, those words echoed clearly in his ears.
Could it be...?
The reporter was quite embarrassed. He wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Unfortunately, Group A's test flight failed. Next up is Group B."
Despite saying that, the reporter wasn't very interested.
Group A failed, so Group B, as the backup group, probably won't have anything outstanding to offer either.
