Chapter 77: Technological Breakthrough_1

After Cao Ge piloted the Mark II into the sky, Li Qiu immediately reported the situation to her superiors.

Upon learning of this, the higher-ups immediately called in surveillance satellites to track Cao Ge's location and, after discovering it, coordinated with air traffic control to clear the airspace at Cao Ge's altitude. That is why the incident just now occurred on the civilian aircraft.

Because of Cao Ge, about thirty planes in China had to lower their altitude.

The rapidly flying Cao Ge did not know this.

At this moment, Cao Ge was extremely excited. This experience of freely soaring through the heavens and the earth while piloting mechanized armor was something Cao Ge had never felt before.

At this moment, Cao Ge finally understood why Tony was so proud.

The feeling of traveling through the heavens and earth on one's own wit, of changing the world, was truly mesmerizing.

This was different from the feeling of those who gained their strength through injections of serums.

In the Marvel universe, whether it was Captain America or Thor, their power was suddenly acquired, so they could never understand this feeling.

This was the superiority of standing on the summit of intellectual mountains, looking down upon the world below.

It was something worth boasting about, for he had taken himself from nothing to having the power to rival gods, and all of this stemmed from his own knowledge.

This was the thrill of bending the laws of the universe to one's own will.

Cao Ge shouted out loud as he flew at high speed, venting the repression of several years.

Although the Mark II didn't say much, at least from now on, he wouldn't have to worry about his own safety.

He had traversed this world for three years now, and in that time, his transformation was undeniable.

Even though the technology he mastered was nothing special to higher civilizations, he could feel himself making real progress.

His knowledge in the fields of artificial intelligence and mechanized armor manufacturing had far surpassed the overall civilization of this current world.

Though this knowledge was not his own research, he still took pride in his accomplishments, at least he had mastered these technologies.

Cao Ge flew a circle in the air, then controlled the Mark II to turn around.

Two hours later.

Cao Ge began to rapidly descend and landed steadily in the villa's front yard.

"Clang!"

The collision of the armor with the ground emitted a crisp metallic sound.

Li Qiu, who had been waiting in place, immediately surrounded him upon seeing Cao Ge's return.

"Mr. Cao, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." The faceplate of the armor opened, revealing Cao Ge's smiling face.

Immediately afterward, the Mark II opened up completely, and Cao Ge stepped out of the armor.

"Mr. Cao, it's good that you are fine," said Li Qiu, relieved to see Cao Ge unharmed.

Cao Ge nodded with a smile and then had Murphy control the Mark II to go inside the villa.

"Miss Li Qiu, you're busy."

With that, Cao Ge followed the Mark II into the villa and then into the underground laboratory.

Li Qiu, who had a thousand words to say, did not know where to start with Cao Ge's indifferent attitude, and in the end, she could only look at Cao Ge's back and heave a deep sigh.

Because she realized she had no reason to stop him; Wallfacers' actions are not constrained by rules.

After this personal test flight, Cao Ge clearly identified some weaknesses of the Mark II.

Firstly, it was not very user-friendly to the pilot, the sense of weight was too strong, completely lacking the feeling of effortlessly moving a great weight with a slight force.

Currently, the Mark II gave Cao Ge the impression of being cumbersome and simply a humanoid flying device, lacking far too much when it came to combat.

In a nutshell, his Mark II was far inferior to Tony's.

Of course, combat was not something he needed to consider at the moment, what he needed to focus on was optimizing the driving experience.

Just like Tony's armor, which could turn a playboy like Tony into a soldier with extremely strong combat capabilities.

But his armor required a certain level of physical fitness. Ordinary people simply couldn't withstand that degree of burden.

So, Cao Ge stayed in the Underground Laboratory for more than half a month.

During that time, Cao Ge was continuously exploring improvement plans with Murphy.

After half a month, they finally came up with a viable plan.

Just when he was about to carry out the plan, the door of the underground room was knocked on.

Cao Ge glanced at the surveillance video on the computer next to him, it was Li Qiu standing outside the door.

He pressed a button on the computer, and the door automatically opened, allowing Li Qiu to walk in.

"Mr. Cao, the technology you requested has made a breakthrough. The gaming pod has been created," Li Qiu approached Cao Ge. She glanced at the Mark Armor on the white operator console, torn apart, then looked back at Cao Ge and said.

Cao Ge, who had been continuously making adjustments to a part, paused upon hearing the gaming pod technology had been realized. Then, he raised his head to look at Li Qiu.

"That fast!"

"It's only been three months," Cao Ge exclaimed in surprise.

Having said that, he put down the work in his hands and started walking towards the doorway.

"Let's go, let's check it out."

The reason Cao Ge felt it was fast was that he had underestimated the research capabilities of the scientists.

Firstly, the Hibernation Technology was almost on the verge of a breakthrough, or rather, it had already broken through since Cheng Xin was going to hibernate in two years.

Technology like Hibernation would definitely have a certain clinical period. Even if it had a breakthrough, it wouldn't be put to use immediately.

Therefore, what the scientists needed to achieve was the Neural Deception Technology and the consciousness collector.

Moreover, since Cao Ge was a Wallfacer, the support for these two projects was unimaginable; whatever resources or personnel were needed, they would be provided.

Tens of thousands of top scientists were gathered together for the breakthrough of these two technologies.

When in human history has such a situation occurred?

The intelligence burst forth from the convergence of tens of thousands of the smartest brains was unimaginable.

Thus, with an unconcerned approach to costs, these two technologies were declared a breakthrough in just three months.

Although the current year in the Three-Body World was 2010, it was different from Cao Ge's world.

In the Three-Body World of this era, even though button cell phones were still in use, hibernation technology like the sleep capsule had appeared, skewing the world's technological tree.

The gap between hibernation technology and button cell phones was simply too large.

You see, in Cao Ge's previous world, even by the year 2023, hibernation technology was still an elusive matter.

But in this world where people still used button cell phones, hibernation technology had already become a reality.

This made Cao Ge, who was accustomed to smartphones, a bit uncomfortable.

Fortunately, developing smartphone technology wasn't difficult. Cao Ge's company had already started its research and, according to the schedule, they would likely have a successful development within the year.

After coming out of the Underground Laboratory, Cao Ge quickly showered, changed clothes, and then followed Li Qiu to the car, heading toward the Research Center.

About an hour later, Cao Ge and his party arrived at the research center, set up specifically for the development of the gaming pod.

Cao Ge got out of the car and looked at the massive Research Center in front of him, marveling at a Wallfacer's power which seemed limitless, almost allowing one to act with impunity.

Even though all he had done was to create a game, he was able to build such a large research center within just a few days, putting tens of thousands of top scientists to work on his seemingly whimsical decision.

"Mr. Cao, shall we go? Director Li and the others are waiting," said Li Qiu, who had gotten off the car, to the dazed Cao Ge.
