Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 98

Chapter 98

Xiao Fei enjoyed listening to music while she did her research work . Following the melody, she would enter a whole new world, in her own beat and rhythm . Once she entered the world of research, the music would appear to disappear . The music would resonate with her . This was why Xiao Fei liked Lin Huiyin .

In the Aslan empire, scientists had a status that was right after the royals . Where Aslan was today had all come from the vast amount of technologies it possessed, all of it brought forth by scientists . They had extended their warm invitation to Xiao Fei, and it was a pity that Xiao Fei had turned it down . Even then, the Aslan School of Science continued to sing high praises of her . They believed that the woman would become a shining star in the scientific world . Xiao Fei had proved that right in no more than a few years . Because of her young age and her S-class genes, almost all sciences in the physics branch would give mention of her . She easily ranked among the top hundred scientists in the century .

Lin Huiyin had even more admiration for Xiao Fei . The relationship between physics and human development was a very deep subject . She could not understand much of it .

Xiao Fei had studied in Aslan for a period of time and was familiar with the place . The two women had too many topics in common .

Xiao Fei's Skylink rang . Very untimely . She had adjusted her settings to private, with a few special exceptions .

Yao Ailun?

What's the lad up to in the middle of the night?

"Yao Ailun, it better be something important, else you watch out!"

Teacher Xiao, pretty harsh .

Yao Ailun threaded carefully, "Well, Prof, Wang Zheng says he's derived the formula for space navigation . "

Xiao Fei was talking to Lin Huiyin as she listened, and her mind stopped working for a brief moment . "Derived it? So be it… what did he derive?"

"Space navigation formula!" Yao Ailun was agitated beyond words . It was a very big deal!

"What happened, Sister Xiao Fei?" Lin Huiyin blinked her big bright eyes . What has this got to do with Wang Zheng?

"One of my students, Wang Zheng, you know him too . He's made a breakthrough in the theory of space navigation . I've got to go back and take a look! Sister Huiyin, do stay for a few more days if you haven't got much to do . "

Xiao Fei's heart had already made a move, but holding on to Lin Huiyin's hand, she still could not bear to leave .

"I'll have to discuss that with my crew . Sister, your work is more important . "

"Okay, you rest well . The concert today was amazing!"

The more Xiao Fei looked at Lin Huiyin, the more she thought her adorable . She couldn't help but take Huiyin's cheeks in her hands and kiss it .

This naughty, naughty sister .

Xiao Fei had returned to the laboratory at top rocket speed . The heroes of 007 were already waiting for her there .

Wang Zheng had seriously made the deductions for part one . These were his own derivations, different from Old Merchant's . It was hard to tell whether it was for the better or for worse, because Old Merchant never made comments in this aspect . He preferred letting Wang Zheng develop freely .

Xiao Fei was straightforward about this . She threw her coat aside and jumped right into the research . She looked at it and cried, "Bring me my equipment!"

Theory deduction still required hypothesis testing on a model . Only when the test works will it be the first step to success .

Building the model was rather complex; it was not something ordinary students could achieve .

Xiao Fei smiled as she looked on . At times, she would burst into hysterical laughs . But no matter what, Pretty Lady Xiao was always sexy and attractive .

The whole process took quite some time . Wang Zheng could only sit and wait . Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were also working, but their speeds were way slower . It took a lot of effort just to understand it .

Xiao Fei walked up to Wang Zheng all of a sudden . With an intimidating aura and an energetic look in her eyes, she asked, "How did you do it, young man?"

Wang Zheng shrugged . "Teacher taught me well . "

Wang Zheng was referring to Old Merchant, but Xiao Fei had no idea .

"What a sweet talker! Let Sister reward you . "

She gave Wang Zheng a hug as she spoke, and she kissed him . The sweet fragrance from her skin and her full bosom almost made Wang Zheng fail to resist .

Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu stared in shocked . Damn! How was that fair? He was so lucky!

"Uhm… Professor, I reported it to you, shouldn't I be rewarded too?"

Student Ailun spoke out daringly . In this day and age, speaking up reaped pretty good benefits . Who knows, there might be a chance?

Xiao Fei glared at him . "How dare you try to take advantage of me . Are you tired of living?"

"Only my Little Zheng is reliable . Consider becoming my boyfriend!"

Having studied under Xiao Fei for a long time now, everyone knew that this "rough" pretty teacher was serious in public, but she could joke about all sorts of things in private . She was like a crazy elder sister, which made her even more attractive .

Wang Zheng was taken aback . Xiao Fei burst out in laughter . "Oh, look how scared you are! Little Sheep, wait till you're older! Else tongues will wag and people will say that I prey on minors!"

"Professor, does my deduction work?"

"I've already looked through the theory . I am 80 percent confident of it . We should build a model soon . Once that is done, we can be 90 percent sure," said Xiao Fei . She fancied Wang Zheng more and more as she looked at him . The path of science was sometimes unfair . Success was 1 percent talent and 99 percent hard work, yet the factor that determined success was that 1 percent talent .

Xiao Fei had actually made some of her own deductions, but it was still incomplete . She did not think that her student would finish it first . That was proof of a greater genius than her .

Marcus rushed down overnight . He was sleeping when Xiao Fei yelled him awake . Thankfully, Professor Marcus's wife knew him well, or she might have thought something horrible had happened .

When Marcus heard of what had happened, his sleepiness went away . They were all mad scientists . He woke his entire team up .

The whole team arrived at the laboratory . This time round, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were also given the opportunity to participate . Being able to participate in this process was also very useful for their future endeavors .

Wang Zheng had unknowingly become the core player of the team . The interactions between him and Xiao Fei were almost telepathic . He was a fast learner and could apply his knowledge to different aspects . What he and Xiao Fei communicated, others might have taken half a day to to even react . This team was possibly the best in the entire Solar System .

Marcus was overcome with emotion . This was heaven-defying speed! Where in the world did this lad come from?

Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were also given some tasks . Even though it was mainly for them to learn, it was a great encouragement to them both .

"Brother Zheng, you're awesome!"

"This lad is god-like! Ever so steady, awesome!"

Yao Ailun did not like losing, but he had to give it to Wang Zheng this time .

As Wang Zheng and Xiao Fei debated, they kept making improvements on the formula . There were still some problems to Wang Zheng's deductions, even though the results were accurate . But what was important was the process, and not the end results . Only the steps taken could bring about technological improvement . There were issues in his procedures, of which Xiao Fei had corrected . The final results were still exactly the same as what Old Merchant derived .

Wang Zheng was thoroughly in awe of Old Merchant . He was no different from a grandfatherly old man!

Wang Zheng had asked if it was really a good idea to do this in their name, but Alan Tucker shook his head . He said it was most important to him that they did it .

It was as if everyone on the team was possessed . They spent a whole night, and the model was successfully constructed .

Wang Zheng was confident that it would be successful . Old Merchant had said it, so it couldn't be wrong . But he felt that there was still some distance to go . He was still too new to this .

Once they made it through the crucial stage, other phases would be way simpler . The laboratory was filled with cheers and happy chatter . They popped a champagne to celebrate .

Xiao Fei once again generously kissed Wang Zheng in front of everybody and teased him, asking him to be her boyfriend . Everyone laughed and applauded . Student Wang thought to himself, "You all better watch out! I'll make you pay back with interest as well!"

Beauty Xiao loved making fun of him .

Now that the theory was successfully proven, the shares allotted in the building project were going to change . The companies that invested had to put in even more shares, but even then, they would do it willingly, since the risk was way lower than before . It had gone from fishing for the moon's reflection to being able to touch a piece of the pie .

The scariest thing about this technology was that it could be used militarily, on combat vehicles, and for civilians, to speed up interstellar travel . There was no doubt that this technology was going to affect countries and people's lives .

Once the results were announced, many more companies would flock to fight for participation .

And the present team would form the foundations of the future team .

As for phases two and three, Wang Zheng had to figure things out on his own before it could be implemented . Moreover, as Old Merchant had instructed, these two ultimatums were important chips in negotiating for financial support .

When the team began to function, there was nothing much left for Wang Zheng to do . He continued to go for training regularly with Zhang Shan .

Zhuo Mu and Luo Mu had custom designed a training program for them, one that was very different from the traditional ones . It focused more on practical combat skills and was aimed at making a break in the IG selection .

The mech Luo Mu had prepared was more than enough for these few youngsters . It was dirty and tired, seemingly unrelated to a warrior .

In Luo Mu's eyes, a pilot who did not understand a mech was a half-wit .

Lin Huiyin's new single, "War of the Blind," had broken her own personal record, topping 11 charts . This intense wave was crazier than ever before .

There was a huge change in style . From music telling to an expressive, soothing energy, one had to admit her songs were flavourful .

Of course, there were still controversies, mainly on the material used in her MV . There were plenty of A-list countries in the Milky Way that complained about the MV coming from Earth . There were plenty of big countries and strong warriors out there, and yet she chose Earth . It could only be said that Lin Huiyin was no good in this .

But the Earth was home to all other stars . It did not feel right to comment on home . It was not a good thing to forget one's roots .

CT Headquarters had reached out to Lin Huiyin's manager immediately to discuss product endorsement .

CT was, in reality, extremely large-scale . They would not even look at ordinary celebrities and did not pay much attention to Lin Huiyin in the past . There was no use in relying solely on fame, but the power of Lin Huiyin's two singles could not be belittled . A big, fat contract lied in wait for her .

But Huiyin was still thinking about Wang Zheng . What did he want to become exactly?

A warrior? A scientist?
