Cutting-edge technology: I handed myself over

Chapter 83: A Small Meeting Before the New Year

"Head Instructor, we'd like to beat that guy up, is that okay?"

In a corner of the transmission matrix control room, in a place where the live broadcast camera could neither capture the image nor pick up the audio, Liao Haizhou looked at Zhou Luming, who was secretly showing off to them out of the corner of his eye not far ahead, and said angrily through gritted teeth, "We guarantee that we will absolutely not leave a mark on him!"

"That bastard, he's already benefiting from your position as head instructor, and now he's bragging to us! He deserves a beating!"

Yes, Guo Yi and the shipyard trainees were also there, as were Old Zhou and his group.

This is the completion ceremony of the shipyard's first major project, so of course they should come, and they are more qualified to come.

"It's a rare opportunity to meet. When you have time later, bring other people to spend more time with your junior brother."

"Alright, don't worry, we'll build a good relationship with him."

"..."

"Chief Engineer Guo, this is the first time we've met in person after all this time."

After the live stream ended and everyone else left, the chief leader, with a smile on his face, walked up to Guo Yi and extended his hand, saying, "It's rare that you've come out, how about we have a simple meal together?"

Guo Yi took off his sunglasses and mask, then shook hands with the chief and smiled, "Okay."

"Qilin, this is your territory. Please make the necessary arrangements."

"Yes, sir."

"..."

Although Guo Yi only met Qilin and the other four offline and received their gifts because he was a homebody, he had met many other people online. Therefore, during the meal, everyone mainly chatted casually.

After the meal, at the suggestion of the chief, everyone moved to another place to begin summarizing this year's work and making general arrangements for next year's work in a more relaxed manner.

There were many things to do, but they were very important. However, Guo Yi didn't care about those things, nor did he want to offer any opinions on them.

Therefore, Guo Yi fell asleep while listening.

"Chief Engineer Guo, wake up! Your aerospace fuel has been stolen."

"Who the hell stole my space fuel?!"

Guo Yi jolted awake, his eyes snapping open as he instinctively shouted, "Fang, get my oil back!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, Guo Yicai realized: Damn it, he was having a meeting, not playing games.

"Chief Engineer Guo, it's necessary to relax after a hard day's work, but don't relax to the point of staying up all night playing games, as that will harm your health."

The chief commander didn't blame Guo Yi for sleeping in such a situation. Instead, he helped Guo Yi ease the awkwardness and then reminded him, "We've finished discussing everything else. Now it's just you two left."

Regarding spaceships, the keel of the First Emperor has been completed, and the progress is on schedule with no need for delays at the moment.

The Guanyue, Xinghan, and Yuncha spacecraft are all 80% complete and are expected to be fully completed by early next year. They will be transported to the Alashan launch site for assembly in March, and all debugging work will be completed before August. Test flights can begin in early August.

Regarding the mobile suits, the pilot's payload suits and the weapons and equipment that come with the mobile suits have all been completed. Currently, only the mobile suits themselves remain to be completed, which is expected to be finished by the middle of next year at the earliest and by the end of next year at the latest.

As for the trainees, none of them have reached the ace level yet, but all of them have reached the captain level.

As for whether anyone can reach the ace level before the assessment, I can't say for sure.

After reporting on the progress of the shipyard's core projects, Guo Yi then reported on his personal work: "I have reviewed all the relevant teaching materials, and Commander Yue and Deputy Commander Zhou have distributed them to the relevant personnel."

The low-altitude management platform has been completed and tested successfully, and is ready to go live at any time.

Next year...

At this point, Guo Yi couldn't help but smile sheepishly and said, "Next year, I plan to focus on improving my personal driving skills and practical experience. We can talk about other things later if needed, okay?"

"You're not planning to explore the unknown universe yourself someday, are you!?"

"Of course!"

Guo Yi nodded without hesitation and said wistfully, "Exploring the universe in a spaceship or mech—that's my dream!"

"No!"

As soon as Guo Yi finished speaking, the others urged him, "Chief Engineer Guo, just ask if you need anything. Please don't risk exploring the unknown universe!"

"Yes, Chief Engineer Guo, you can leave this kind of work to us."

"Isn't there 3D projection? We send people with cameras to explore, and you can watch it at home with a 3D projector, isn't that the same thing?"

"..."

Guo Yi ignored everyone else and stared intently at the chief.

After exchanging glances with Guo Yi for a while, the chief frowned slightly and asked helplessly, "First: you are not allowed to leave the security team without permission."

Second: You must go to a place that has been confirmed safe by the security team before you can go there, and you must ensure that communication is smooth.

Third: If a dangerous situation arises and the security team tells you to leave, you must obey unconditionally and leave immediately without considering any other circumstances, including the safety of Li Sisi's life!

If you agree to these three conditions, I will fully support your exploration of the universe.

"Chief..."

"Even if you break all his arms and legs, with his skill level, he has plenty of ways to sneak away without us knowing. In that case, we might as well make a deal with him."

Before anyone else could finish speaking, the chief interrupted, "All we can do now, besides strengthening his security as much as possible, is pray that our ancestors will bless him with safe return each time."

After speaking, the chief looked at Guo Yi seriously and solemnly asked, "Chief Engineer Guo, what do you say?"

"Well... isn't the third one a bit inappropriate!?"

"Since you don't like it, I'll change the condition: when you go out to explore, let Li Sisi stay behind."

Before Guo Yi could speak, the chief continued, "Since you can't abandon Li Sisi in a critical moment, then you might as well not take her with you when you're exploring."

If you're concerned about the safety of security personnel, then don't go exploring.

If you insist on exploring alone, I will dismantle the launch matrix and seal off the shipyard to keep you trapped on Earth.

I'd rather you stay and resent us, even turn against us, than allow you to explore alone. That's my bottom line!

"Cough cough~ It's not that bad~"

Guo Yi smiled awkwardly, then nodded helplessly: "Alright, I agree to your terms."

However, I'll let you know before I go exploring, and you can help me find a way to leave Sisi behind.

"Alright, a gentleman's word is his bond."

"What is done cannot be taken back."

"I don't need to elaborate on the importance of Li Mu, Qilin, Xuanwu, Zhuque, Baihu, Qinglong, and Chief Engineer Guo. His safety is entrusted to you."

After the chief finished speaking with Li Mu and the others, he looked at Guo Yi again: "Since you want to explore the universe yourself in the future, I'll give you some more responsibilities."
