1970s Gangster Couple

98 The End (Part 2)

However... He turned his gaze to Wang Xiaoyue. "Aunt, with such incredible information left behind by Grandmother, haven't you managed to develop anything new?"

Wang Xiaoyue didn't mince her words: "You brat, do you think your grandmother's inventions were easy to grasp? Before she came to Blue Star, her technological advancements in that place were ahead of Blue Star by who knows how many centuries. Your grandmother was the most outstanding scientist there. Do you think someone like me, born and raised on Blue Star, can compare?"

"So, if push comes to shove, can we use the time-space jump machine to escape?" Wang Qingyi asked hopefully, looking at the elders.

Wang Ge nodded solemnly, "This is our last resort, and it's why I came forward. Qingsong, if there's no other way, we'll release the technical data of our Wang family's time-space jump machine to the public, expedite construction, and save as many people as possible. Whether the time-space jump machine is safe or not, and whether we can find another habitable place, will depend on everyone's luck."

Wang Qingsong nodded, his brow still furrowed, "Father, the construction cost of these time-space jump machines will be substantial. According to what you've said, even with Grandma's improvements, each machine can only accommodate up to a hundred people. Just in our country alone, there are 1.5 billion people. That would require constructing 15 million machines. Raw materials will definitely be insufficient. Although our country's small galaxy ships can bring back some materials from within the Milky Way, to build so many time-space jump machines, we'll need even more galaxy ships. This is an immensely colossal project, and I fear that even half of it won't be completed within two years, despite our government's high efficiency and ability to mobilize all departments once a resolution is drafted."

"So, it's up to you leaders to figure out a solution. Why should the people pay so much tax to support so many government officials? Remember, your grandmother's technology has never just served the privileged. You must ensure that everyone has a fair and equal chance to board these time-space jump machines."

Wang Qingsong hurriedly agreed. Building the time-space jump machines was a massive challenge, but ensuring fair access for the nation's citizens was an even bigger issue.

Since they had the time-space jump machines as a reliance, even if doomsday truly arrived, everyone had a good chance to escape and might even meet the legendary ancestors like Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei. This eased everyone's minds considerably.

As they were discussing, Butler Li lightly knocked on the study's door. "Master, Young Master Shi is back with Miss Mu. They are waiting for you in the hall."

Young Master Shi, Wang Lan, was Wang Qingnan's eldest grandson, and his first visit with his girlfriend was naturally taken seriously by his grandfather. In the Wang family's tradition of selecting partners, personality was paramount. As long as the person's character passed the Wang family's scrutiny, they would be welcomed into the family.

The Wang family did not underestimate people from the entertainment industry. After all, Wang Ke was one of the finest directors in Huaguo, and several members of the family were involved in the entertainment industry. While Huashang also had entertainment ventures, they were aware of the pitfalls and temptations prevalent in the industry. Therefore, the elders in the Wang family would surely have conducted a private investigation into the person Young Master Ten brought home, ensuring there were no issues before feeling at ease.

Wang Ge stood up and said, "Don't disclose what we discussed earlier to the younger generation for now. Wait until the government announces it first, to prevent them from panicking and making things worse."

"Don't worry, Father," Wang Qingsong stood up and personally assisted Wang Ge out. Wang Ke and Wang Xiaoyue also had their respective juniors helping them. Wang Ke, feeling impatient, waved them off, saying, "Go go go, I'm not so old that I can't walk yet!"
