Tempest of the Stellar War

But just at the moment where he was about to enter, Wang Zheng faltered, short by a little.

Without the help of Blade Techniques, he felt that his mental exertion was short of something, although his Primordial Regression Technique had no problems at all.

Even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice.

But Wang Zheng was still happy. Greed was not a flaw of his. As long as there was progress, then the rest would have to come at its own pace.

Even without Blade Techniques, as his mastery over mental energy improved, he would attain it someday. He could not hope for heaven to keep throwing biscuits directly at his head, like the Rubik’s cube.

Thinking thus, Wang Zheng was pretty happy. After tidying up a little, he brought his cauldron downstairs.

The night should be quite lively. Many had already arrived. Activities at Elite Academy were frequent, especially for those from the same hometown. Only, the Solar System Federation was a minority, and setting up such things was impossible. Compared to the others, the Solar System had to tolerate this more.

Wang Zheng and Zhan Shan had naturally come. Oli, Majgull, Eisen and the rest had come, and of course Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei.

From being madly in love to falling out of love, Zhang Shan had recovered quickly enough. But recovering from loss or not, Zhang Shan was always happy to be wherever the beautiful girls were.

With Zhang Shan around, there was never a worry of an awkward atmosphere.

“Zhang Shan, you used to major in physics too?” De Fulei asked, surprised.

“This guy loves to brag. Maybe he was referring to elementary school science lessons.” Majgull quipped.

“D*mn, you can doubt my sexual preferences, but you can’t doubt my awesome ability.”

They were rendered speechless. What kind of logic was that?

“On this point, at least, he’s not bragging. For the first half of year 1, he was still a member of the physics department, until he changed.”

“D*mn, you’re actually a genius too.”

“That goes without saying. To think back to the times when we were Teacher Xiao Fei’s assistants.” Zhang Shan was not one to hide his colors. Give him one color of shade, and he would think about starting a dye shop.

Following that, the bragging began in full swing. In such situations, as long as Wang Zheng did not expose him, the rest would only be oohed and aahed by his increasingly preposterous tales.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, Wang Zheng’s Skylink rang. Walking to one side, it was from Xiao Fei.

Hopefully nothing bad had happened. Wang Zheng’s head was aching enough about this already. Ai Xiaolu’s investment had already reached the limit as well. If this still did not work, he might have to find other researches to collaborate with. Continuing like this was not viable. He already owed a huge debt, and if this continued on, he would really have to whore himself out.

Thinking thus, Wang Zheng felt it was better to take the call at one side.

“Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng!” Xiao Fei appeared exceptionally happy, calling out his name oblivious to anything else.

“Teacher Xiao Fei, what is it that has gotten you so happy?”

“Congratulations to you!” Xiao Fei suddenly said.

“Congratulations to me?” Wang Zheng was unprepared for this. Such unexpected sweet words. Could it be that something bad had happened again?

“Keke, Teacher Xiao Fei, my courage is frail. Please don’t scare me, and just get on with it.”

At this moment, a huge crowd gathered behind Xiao Fei. Marcus and the entire team’s members had maniacal grins.

Marcus stretched his head over, bellowing: “WANG ZHENG, WE SUCCEEDED!”

The entire laboratory erupted into cheers, and the usually reserved Marcus had lost his head as well. Xiao Fei was so excited her bosom was heaving, and exuberantly gave Wang Zheng a flying kiss. “Boy, we succeeded!”

Although she did her best to hold it in, she eventually failed, and Xiao Fei’s happy tears leaked out. The others were the same. They did not know how many days and nights had gone by without peaceful rest. The entire team had been closeted in the laboratory. This was no longer just a work goal, but had already become a life goal. This was an ideal.

And now they had faced down innumerable doubts, and overcome all the doubt heaped upon them. Now they had succeeded!

Behind them, on an assembled demonstration device, success was displayed. A stream of numbers that represented the perfect success rate.

Wang Zheng was a little light-headed too. Honestly, Wang Zheng had not been mentally prepared for this. His understanding of the logic was good, but the transfer from paper to reality was a difficult road, and he had not held high hopes for this. He thought 3-5 years was necessary. Only, Xiao Fei controlled the samples, and her experimental approach was very heavy handed, as if it was success or bust.

Luckily, she succeeded!

Zhang Shan had noticed as well. “Wang Zheng, what’s up? Something good?”

Wang Zheng turned around, punching a fist fiercely into the air. “Success!”

“Success? What’s succeeded!”

“The space program experiment has succeeded!”

Zhang Shan leaped up immediately. “What, success??? So fast!”

“Zhang Shan, you scoundrel, dare you doubt my abilities? Don’t think I can’t get to you just because you switched majors!” Xiao Fei said.

Zhang Shan was actually rather afraid of Xiao Fei. “Keke, esteemed mentor, it is as you said. I would doubt God before I dared to doubt your prowess. This is going to be awesome!”

Xiao Fei gave a proud smile. “I wanted to let you know first. I’ll leave the details to next time. You can rest easy now. And as for that friend who invested, let her know that the investment return is definitely at least 10 times!”

Ai Xiaolu had been listening from the side. In an instant she had already drawn her own conclusions. Why stop at 10 times? She had thought the program would need at least 3 years to see results, and even then a positive outcome was not guaranteed. To think it would be over so quickly.

And in truth she had only invested for a month. This was really her win. She had earned a great sum.

But without Ai Xiaolu’s key investment, this program might not have succeeded. That sum had been a lifesaver and a morale booster, and had allowed the researchers to work unhindered. It was the road of no return.

Succeed or die!

Others had not understood the situation too clearly, but Snow Li and the others knew.

“Congratulations, Wang Zheng. This will shake the entire Milky Way.” Snow Li smiled.

“What is going on? Why are you all lurking about?” Oli asked suspiciously.

“Warp flight’s space transmission has been successfully applied from theory to reality!”

Wang Zheng said. This was definitely a respectable achievement. The theory itself had shaken the Milky Way, but theory was just a theory, and had no credit. But once theory became reality, that was a completely different matter.

At the onset, Wang Zheng had indeed rendered some help, but in the later phases of experimentation, he had left Xiao Fei and her team to their own devices, besides bringing in some investment.

It had not even been that long. This was incredible.

Although most of those present did not fully understand what that meant, but it sounded really awesome.

“Teacher Xiao Fei, this is a success that guarantees your position in the world of science!” Ai Xiaolu was clearest among those present. In today’s world of investment, two resources dominated. One was mineral resources and the other was technology. KING company’s program would have far-reaching effects, whether in military or civilian use. This was not something that money could account for.

Looked like before long, the entire Milky Way would go crazy because of this news, and another issue quickly occurred to Ai Xiaolu. The fight over Titaa Star’s resources would become even more intense.

Because of these developments, the super-gravity energy ore was necessary.

After Ai Xiaolu’s explanation, the audience went from confused to seeing the implications of this matter.

Wang Zheng laughed it off. “Forget about making big bucks. In the short term, such a technology will be dominated by the military. We still need more breakthroughs.”

“Keke, Wang Zheng, no need to be so humble. The success means that money will not be an issue. Cementing such a position, if you need any future investments, just say the word.” Ai Xiaolu was speechless regarding her own luck. She had invested purely because of Wang Zheng. He was the major shareholder of KING, was highly competent, and a decent person. In all aspects, she would not suffer a great loss, but to reap returns so quickly was almost embarrassing.

Profits had been the reason for the initial craze surrounding KING company. But the risks were too high, and the returns too far in the future. They had abandoned it promptly. In that period of time, Xiao Fei and KING company had faced not only financial pressure, but also from within the scientific field. Those in the same field who were jealous of Xiao Fei had been especially snide.

They called her a hen that laid no eggs, accused her of demagogy, and called for her to go be an actress instead.

In truth, the scientific world had plenty of people who were nothing but pretty faces spouting ungrounded theories.

Back then, the theory itself had such a huge impact, even causing Wang Zheng and Xiao Fei to enter Genesis Coffee because of that. Now it would be turned to military use, and this impact was not something that Wang Zheng could estimate.

In the future, Little Lucky Star and OMG would also benefit from this.

Although overjoyed, Wang Zheng quickly calmed down. This was after all Xiao Fei’s career, and he was very happy for her. Looking at it another way, he had completed one of Old Merchant’s wishes. Old Merchant must have hoped for him to become a brilliant physicist, following in his path. But in the end, Wang Zheng had struck out on his own path, but Xiao Fei had realized his dream. And Xiao Fei’s unwavering perseverance was definitely one of the necessary factors in creating greatness.

Conceivably, today was a day of celebration for the entire team.

In the history of humanity, every breakthrough technology was accompanied by far-reaching effects. Humankind had its success of today because of this group of “stubborn” people, who believed that truth was controlled by a small few.

Besides Ai Xiaolu, the rest did not have much of a reaction. Another successful experiment, was all. The rest was too far to think about.

Everybody resumed their original conversation. Wang Zheng understood that a new wave was about to begin.

He had wanted to notify Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu immediately, but now had decided to wait. This was something that Xiao Fei would definitely do, and he should leave it up to her. And besides, this was the first successful experiment, and it was unknown how much was coincidence and how much was predicted. Given Xiao Fei’s character, it was basically a success, but she would probably need at least another 2-3 days for after she calmed down to think it through logically and finalize the results.
