"I brought a few items; I'll buy more if I need more. It's summer anyway, so it'll be easy to pack."
Gao Yang was not surprised by this; there were more than one company mentioned in those documents, at least a dozen or twenty in total.
"I checked online, and Xia Weiwei was also present at the equity transfer event, wasn't she?"
"That was before. Now online work is the norm. When she needs to appear in person, a video verification is all that's needed."
Du Yibing chuckled softly and mocked him with the same look one would give a country bumpkin.
Well, I blame myself for being so talkative.
He shrugged, pouted, and decided to shut up and stop talking.
"Junior brother, Xia Weiwei is actually a pretty good girl."
Suddenly, Du Yibing said this.
"She comes from a respectable family, has ample material resources, and her figure and looks are no worse than mine. Although she's a bit cold, doesn't that perfectly satisfy your male desire to conquer?"
Du Yibing stopped reading and instead played with her drooping hair, staring at him with a half-smile and asking.
"No, why are you just as gossipy and fond of matchmaking as Senior Brother Cao..."
Gao Ang was speechless. He could understand Cao Kun wanting to be a matchmaker, after all, one was his junior brother and the other was his subordinate. It's good to keep the good stuff in the family.
But what's wrong with my senior sister?
Are she and Xia Weiwei very close? Isn't she afraid of entrusting herself to the wrong person and suffering a great loss?
"I'm still young, and I haven't had enough fun in this wonderful world yet. I don't want to enter the grave of marriage so early."
After muttering a casual explanation, Gao Ang grabbed his earphones and stuffed them into his ears, intending to ignore the noise.
Gao Ang was still a little intimidated by this senior sister.
She was the teacher's only daughter, and among most of the teacher's students, she was considered relatively old.
In particular, she came to Shanghai alone and built a successful career in the vast city without relying on her parents' connections.
Today, her Ying Sheng Law Firm, if not number one in the country, is at least in the top ten, and might even be able to climb higher.
"You little brat."
Seeing Gao Ang start to bury his head in the sand, Du Yibing glared at him angrily, but could only pick up the magazine and continue reading.
After a three-and-a-half-hour journey, the group finally arrived in Yintan City, Xijiang Province.
Hanwei New Materials' headquarters are located here. In recent years, the country has given many favorable policies, and Yintan City has many rare mineral deposits. For them, conducting research on polymer materials is simply a matter of perfect timing, location, and people.
While Gao Ang and his group were traveling to the headquarters of Hanwei New Materials, several people were having a discussion in a laboratory in Kyoto.
Two people in white lab coats, three in Zhongshan suits.
The three people in the Zhongshan suit were the same three who had visited Shennongjia before and later stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel in Pudong.
The person in the white coat is the head of this laboratory.
This laboratory belongs to Jinghua University and is only open to internal staff. It undertakes some high-precision analytical science experiments.
"Xiao Xu, here is the analysis report you requested."
The elderly man, who looked like the person in charge, handed a report to the woman in the Zhongshan suit who was leading the group.
"The specimen you brought back is of great significance."
The old man took a big gulp from his large ceramic water cup and said with a beaming smile.
"Xiao Liu and I conducted optical and X-ray analysis on this specimen. In terms of strength, toughness, ductility, and other aspects, this specimen can be said to have broken through the current ceiling of polymer materials."
At the height of his joy, the old man was practically dancing with glee.
"Can it withstand a tensile strength of 800KG? Just from this one strand of hair?"
The woman surnamed Xu looked at the explanation in the analysis report and found it somewhat unbelievable.
Anyone with a discerning eye can immediately tell from the specimen they collected that it is a single hair, or hair from another part of the body, in any case, definitely hair from the surface of the body.
From the outside, it looks exactly like ordinary hair—black, cylindrical, and nothing particularly unusual.
"Yes, after careful analysis, this specimen is not yet in its complete form. Its structure is very similar to carbyne, but it is also higher than carbyne. The reason why we say it is not in its complete form is because there are structural conflicts in some parts, which is very much like an incomplete development state."
The old man took another sip of water and began to explain his views.
The three men in Zhongshan suits exchanged a silent glance, shrugged at each other, and each felt a bit of a headache.
This is considered an incomplete developmental stage? If it were fully developed, what kind of monster would it be?
"Mr. Lin, can we extract DNA information from it?" the woman surnamed Xu asked anxiously.
"No, it's not possible. The specimen you brought back looks like hair. Assuming it is hair, it only has the hair shaft, not the hair follicle, and therefore no skin cells, so we can't extract the corresponding DNA information."
The old man spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't help, but he couldn't help being curious: could this really be human hair?
He could only keep this question to himself; he knew perfectly well what he should and shouldn't ask.
The three of them had no choice but to accept this outcome.
"Xiao Xu, could you leave some of this specimen for us?"
"Of course, as long as you can let me go back and report, you can decide how much to keep."
"Haha, not too many, just one is enough. This structure is of great benefit to our country's research on polymer materials. Although carnedithium is currently the strongest substance discovered, large-scale artificial synthesis is still not very realistic. If we can synthesize a new artificial polymer material based on this sample structure, then our country will be able to gain international recognition."
The old man's face broke into a wide smile as he thought of something that made him happy.
"Xiao Xu, I need to trouble you with something."
"Please speak, Mr. Lin."
“I won’t ask where this specimen came from. If, and I mean if, you can find its origin, it would be best to catch it alive. Think about it, such amazing hair can grow on its body. Whether it’s a person or an animal, it’s a treasure from head to toe.”
Old Man Lin earnestly instructed that he had to explain this principle in advance, otherwise who knew if these people would be reckless and ruin his important plans.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we understand what you're saying, but we need to have the opportunity to see it."
The woman surnamed Xu could only agree with a wry smile. There was something she hadn't said yet: even if they saw it, the three of them might not be able to bring it back.
The three left the lab and returned to a rather inconspicuous, secluded warehouse near Kyoto Airport, which served as their group's temporary base.
The warehouse was just a cover. After entering the warehouse and taking the elevator, the three of them quickly went deep into the underground building.
