1970s Gangster Couple

The military was obviously more excited than anyone else. A leading figure from the military, with eyes sparkling, looked at Xiao Xiao: "Dean Xiao, if you were given one month, could you decipher all the data of these weapons?"

It was a serious request.

Xiao Xiao hummed in response: "It won't take a month." It only took three days to develop the cancer treatment. The arrangement of cells was more complex and unpredictable than that of the materials.

Biological research has always been more challenging than purely physical research.

She frowned: "The data can be accurately obtained, and we can even go further based on these weapons. But the key point is, even if we have the data and blueprints, with the country's current industrial foundation, you can't produce them, can you?"

Her words calmed down the initially uncontrollable excitement in the meeting room.

Indeed, manufacturing such advanced weapons required precise industrial equipment.

The military personnel eagerly looked towards the leader: "Leader..."

The leader nodded, "Foreign countries are imposing blockades on us, making it extremely difficult for us to access advanced weapons. Now that Dean Xiao can provide the data and blueprints so quickly, we have no reason to shrink back." It was like a huge pie falling from the sky, albeit potentially causing stomachache, but it was better than starving to death. Missing such an excellent opportunity would mean they couldn't talk about our country standing tall in the world again. These leaders might as well hang themselves together.

"Dean Xiao, you can proceed with the simulation confidently, and leave the manufacturing to us."

Xiao Xiao sighed. She hadn't said she would help simulate these weapons.

However, seeing everyone's breaths slow down, watching her with a mix of nervousness and excitement, it was hard to voice any refusal. "...Actually, with a quantum computer, the simulation can be done without me."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone shook their heads in unison. How could they proceed without her? Xiao Xiao developed the quantum computer and the cancer treatment; she was like a stabilizing anchor. Without her leading, they felt uneasy.

A person from the military said, "Dean Xiao, please take on this burden and help us. We need to obtain the data and blueprints of these weapons as soon as possible. Please." It was rare for a high-ranking military official to stand up and bow slightly towards Xiao Xiao.

"Dean Xiao, please don't refuse us. We beg you."

Just as Xiao Xiao was about to stand up, everyone in the meeting room stood up and bowed slightly to her.

The leader, with eyes seemingly moistened by emotion, said, "Dean Xiao, if we can really obtain the data and blueprints of these weapons, it would be an opportunity to change the fate of our nation. For the people of our country, please lead us in completing this project."

Although it seemed somewhat like emotional blackmail, Xiao Xiao understood their wholehearted dedication to the country and its people.

She nodded in agreement: "Alright then." It would be best to bring more people this time, to teach them how to operate the quantum computer proficiently, so they wouldn't have to come looking for her every time something came up.

"I can also take this opportunity to bring some people along. The leaders can decide on the personnel list themselves," Xiao Xiao said.

With her words, the big shots from the military and the tech industry were all eager to squeeze as many of their people into the project as possible.
