“Did you create SKaRD?”

Hanyu Xiangyu asked subconsciously.

The middle-aged man turned and looked at Xiangyu with a slightly raised eyebrow: "Why, you don't believe it?"

Then, he told Xiangyu that the methods of public registration and selection were all thought up by him, and that Hanyu Xiangyu's appointment as the captain of SKaRD was also inseparable from his appointment.

After explaining the reasons to Hanyu Xiangyu, the middle-aged man asked, "Isn't this enough to prove that SKaRD was founded by me?"

Xiangyu did not refute, nor did he have any words to refute. His role was to be the flag bearer, and Xiangyu and the others were the chess pieces he carefully selected one by one... From a certain perspective, SKaRD was indeed created by him.

Xiangyu paused for a moment and said, "So... why did you call me here?"

The middle-aged man did not answer Xiangyu's question. He walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked out. After a pause, he spoke: "My last name is Zuo, and from now on I will be your direct superior; you can call me sir, but I prefer others to call me Chief of Staff."

"You will stay in the branch for now. I will take you to a place tomorrow."

After learning the identity of the middle-aged man, Xiangyu's eyes secretly flashed with shock. He didn't expect that his direct superior was the chief of staff of the Asian branch.

Among the positions in TPC, the Chief of Staff is the third most powerful official after the Director and the Minister. They have great power and their status is second only to the Minister in the entire branch.

Hanyu Xiangyu responded: “Understood.”

He then turned around and left the office, and moved into a relatively luxurious room arranged by his chief of staff.

The next day, Xiangyu came to the office again and found Chief of Staff Zuo. At this time, he was discussing something with other senior officers. Xiangyu was about to leave, but the Chief of Staff asked him to sit on the sofa.

These officers were not nervous or wary of Xiangyu's appearance. Most of them were very young, and their conversations involved advanced scientific knowledge... Although Xiangyu spent most of the time watching their conversations, he could truly understand very little of what they said.

However, although Xiangyu did not understand what they were talking about, he roughly knew that these people were definitely related to the research and development of the Type 23 Special Aircraft Asgallon.

Thinking of the development of the special aircraft, Xiangyu couldn't help but think of team member Chu Yichen. Because the development of the special aircraft encountered a bottleneck, he was also transferred away, but so much time has passed, and there is still no news about that guy.

At this moment, another officer rushed into the office, with a look of joy on his face; "Chief of Staff Sato, the engine reactor has reached a controllable range!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officers present sighed continuously, their faces filled with surprise.

The inability of the Type 23 Special Aircraft engine to react with good energy materials has become their biggest headache. If the reactor is not properly handled, there will be insufficient energy to start Asgallon, turning it into a huge scrap metal. In serious cases, it may even cause a catastrophic nuclear explosion! Therefore, the scientific research team attaches great importance to the treatment of the reactor.

"very good!"

Hearing that the problem that had troubled them for nearly a year had been solved, Chief of Staff Sato stood up with a look of joy on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let's go and take a look!"

Then, when he glanced at Xiangyu who was sitting on the sofa, the smile on his face quickly faded: "It's a good opportunity for you to come and take a look."

"hold head high."

Later, the group, led by Sato, went to the underground technology research and development base. Among the group, only Xiangyu was really unfamiliar with the road, so he could often find a pair of shocked eyes in a group of ordinary people.

The elevator dropped vertically, and after nearly ten minutes, it finally stopped at the -3rd floor. When the door slowly opened and he followed the crowd out of the elevator, Xiangyu's expression suddenly changed inconceivably.

Under the entire Asian branch was actually a huge militarized base, with the height between the ground and the steel plate above reaching an astonishing 150 meters. Dozens of high-tech folding fighter planes were parked on both sides of the steel runway...

When passing by a laboratory, Hanyu Xiangyu saw a huge reactor that was nearly 20 meters high. Inside the reactor were many unknown minerals that were emitting strange light, but they did not look like substances that existed on the earth itself.

Sato stopped in front of the glass outside the laboratory, and everyone else stopped as well. Then, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat trotted out of the laboratory and said to Sato, "Chief of Staff."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man quickly took off his protective mask and smiled brightly: "We...successfully controlled the reaction of the Taksim Stone!"

"Taksim Stone?" Hearing this familiar name, Hanyu Xiangyu behind Sato frowned secretly: No wonder the spacecraft accident was listed as an emergency. It turns out that this stone was transported back to Earth to be used as energy for Asgallon...

Sato asked: "How did you do it?"

"Oh... It's an assistant in our team. She found that vibranium can absorb the energy of Taksim Stone to the greatest extent and it is not easy to dissipate. I suggest that vibranium can be used as a battery to store the energy of Taksim Stone."

"Vibranium..." Sato fell into deep thought. This thing is a precious metal on Earth, and its rarity is even more precious than diamonds; if the Type 23 Special Aircraft needs vibranium to start, then the demand for vibranium must be great.

After thinking for a few breaths, Sato asked again: "If the special space machine is deployed once, how big a vibranium battery do we need to make?"

"According to our team's calculations, it will take about 300 tons."

"Three hundred tons of vibranium..." Sato's mouth twitched, and his face looked a little ugly: It seems that I still have to ask for instructions from the headquarters.

Then, Sato nodded, and said, trying to hold back the embarrassment in his heart: "The materials will be delivered to you as soon as possible. Before that, you must make sure that there will be no accidents."

"Chief of Staff, I promise everything will be fine."

"By the way, where is the assistant of your team? I want to meet her."

"She is in the laboratory right now. Chief of Staff, please wait a moment. I will go and call her right away."

"Ah."

A group of people were waiting outside the laboratory. After a while, the middle-aged man walked out of the laboratory with a woman in white protective clothing. She took off the protective mask on her head, revealing a familiar face.

"Chief of Staff, this is Yan Qi, the assistant who will solve our reactor problem."
