Liao Dongcheng gestured with his hand, and Wu Mo realized that he was getting a little impatient. He immediately quieted down and looked at Liao Dongcheng with a calm gaze.

Liao Dongcheng nodded in satisfaction. He held up two fingers and said, “To partic.i.p.ate in the Annual Exchange Conference, you have to meet two hard requirements.

“First, partic.i.p.ants of the conference must have a letter of recommendation written by a brigadier general or higher.

“Second, you must complete three forging projects with technological breakthroughs.”

Liao Dongcheng paused for a moment, then continued in a slightly heavy tone. “Only by fulfilling the above two requirements can you obtain a place at the summit. The Invisibility Armor you’ve forged is considered a breakthrough. You need to complete the remaining two within half a year.

Hearing Liao Dongcheng’s words, both Xu Wuyue and Liu Mu, who were standing behind him, gasped.

It was already impossible for a senior researcher to complete a project on par with the Invisibility Armor in half a year, much less Wu Mo, who had just entered the Research Department!

The remaining time was too short, and breakthrough projects were not so easy to complete. It would probably be difficult for Wu Mo to partic.i.p.ate in this year’s exchange conference.

At that moment, not only did the two of them feel that it was difficult, but the two deputy generals behind Liao Dongcheng shook their heads slightly too. They felt sorry for Wu Mo’s inability to partic.i.p.ate in the conference.

In their opinion, Wu Mo was indeed a good seedling. He had shown outstanding talent as soon as he entered the Research Department. It was just that he had been there for too short a time and could not meet the second requirement.

Those who could partic.i.p.ate in the conference at the end of the year were all senior figures in various inst.i.tutions. They were often over 40 years old, and they would have been doing research in the inst.i.tution for more than 10 years before completing three breakthrough projects.

At that moment, the air was a little thick.

Liao Dongcheng looked at Wu Mo with a smile and waited quietly, wanting to know what he was thinking.

Wu Mo slowly raised his head. His expression was filled with determination as he seriously said, “General Liao, I’m confident that I can complete the remaining two technological breakthroughs in the next six months. Please rest a.s.sured!

Clap clap!

Liao Dongcheng clapped his hands in appreciation, satisfied with Wu Mo’s unwavering att.i.tude.

“Alright, I’ll await your news. As long as you can produce two more research results this year and qualify for the conference, I’ll prepare the recommendation letter for you!”

“Thank you, General Liao. It’s a deal!”

Wu Mo nodded excitedly. He was looking forward to the Annual Exchange Conference. After all, the biggest taboo of forging was to be overly subjective and disregard the outside world. He had personally experienced that period when he was in the Divine Arms Academy.

Therefore, he was now eager to have a deep discussion with a master blacksmith about skill issues.

After all, just going to the internal reference room to read the notes and books would never be as straightforward as talking to those experts in person.

“It’s a deal. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the social gathering,” Brigadier General Liao said with a smile.

Then, he subconsciously looked at the time and realized that it was almost noon. There was not much time left to attend to other matters on his schedule.

“Alright, I’m about to leave. I’ll see you at the conference!”

After he finished speaking, he walked toward his vehicle. Academician Xu and Professor Liu immediately went forward to see him off.

Meanwhile, Wu Mo bowed as he watched him leave.

The military vehicles that were parked nearby started up, and the roar instantly resounded in the area.

The two deputy generals sat in the back of the armored vehicle before Liao Dongcheng stopped and separated from the fifth Research Department’s two core personnel.

“Okay, you don’t have to see me off. I still have to oversee other matters. Thank you for supporting the fifth Research Department for so many years,” Liao Dongcheng walked to the front pa.s.senger seat and said with a smile.

Xu Wuyue respectfully replied, “Thank you, General Liao, for all these years of cultivation. It is our duty.”

Professor Liu also cupped his hands with haste and said, “General Liao, please take care of yourself. The military of the southeastern war zone still depends on you. If there’s anything in the future, you can contact me by phone. It’s too dangerous to travel back and forth.

Liao Dongcheng nodded. He looked at Xu Wuyue and patted him on the shoulder.

“Wu Yue, you’ve made a great contribution this time. You used special means to issue a letter of appointment to Wu Mo and finally recruited him to our fifth Research Department. Although this contribution does not warrant a third-cla.s.s meritorious medal, it is not a problem to add one or two points to your year-end rating. Alright, that’s enough chit-chat. I’m leaving.”

With that, Liao Dongcheng waved his hand and went straight to the front pa.s.senger seat. He opened the door and sat inside.

The armored car roared as it started and sped toward the main entrance.

Xu Wuyue and Professor Liu looked in the direction where Brigadier General Liao had disappeared and sighed.

“Tsk, Old Xu, you’ve made a profit again. You’ve gained two points for your year-end a.s.sessment, which is enough to make you an outstanding academician.”

Professor Liu grinned and immediately teased Xu Wuyue.

“This is all to Wu Mo’s credit. I just took the opportunity to gain some good fortune.”

Xu Wuyue was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be calm about it.

In their Research Department, it had always been the disciples who relied on their master’s status to gain face. It was the first time that a master had benefited from his closed-door disciple.

Seeing the two of them approach him, Wu Mo immediately cupped his hands and said, “Academician Xu, Professor Liu.”

“You’ve worked hard. Take a break for the next two days. Once you’ve collected yourself, you can take on other projects!” Xu Wuyue said with a smile.

Professor Liu put his hands behind his back and looked at Wu Mo with eyes full of fondness.

“Okay, I’ll listen to your suggestion, Academician Xu.”

Wu Mo nodded. He really needed to rest for the next two days and adjust his state of mind.

It would be impossible to complete improvements and ma.s.s production in the future without being in good condition.

After bidding farewell to the two, Wu Mo pushed open the courtyard door and returned to the courtyard where the recliner was placed.

As he at the lush green succulents and landscape plants on both sides, Wu Mo’s heart slowly calmed down.

With a light tap of his finger, a white flash appeared, and the doc.u.ment from Brigadier General Liao materialized in his hands.

Since Brigadier General Liao was present earlier, Wu Mo only skimmed through it for a while and did not notice a lot of information.

Now that he had time, he immediately began to study the suggestions given by the master blacksmiths, as well as the values that did not appear during the Invisibility Armor’s review test.

He read from 11.00 am to 3.00 pm.

He was almost intoxicated. On occasion, he would fall into deep thought when he came into contact with information that he did not understand. And sometimes, he would feel happy when he comprehended some ideas.

Wu Mo completely digested the short 1000-word report and suggestions.

His state of flow was only broken by hunger.
