Chapter 165: The Overly Young Wu Mo Shocks the Ministers
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This immediately aroused the leaders’ curiosity.
The Third Military Region had been carrying out combat exercises lately, and many talents, as well as important figures in related fields, had been invited to observe.
However, Wu Mo’s extremely distant appearance did not resemble anyone that the higher-ups knew.
The two commanders in the arms research and development field frowned slightly, wondering who this overly-young guest was.
He went through the name list in his mind but could not find any information that matched the young man in front of him.
“Hey, Old Zheng, isn’t this young man the researcher who was involved in that confidential project’s modification some time ago?” someone suddenly said with a happy face and bright eyes, as though he had recalled something
The department head, who was called Elder Zheng, immediately reacted. “I’ve been trying to figure him out over the past two days, but I never expected this graduate student named Wu Mo to be so young,” he said with a surprised look.
When they thought of the fact that an excellent piece of work such as the Invisibility Armor came from a graduate student in his early twenties, their expressions were filled with awe.
“Let’s go and say h.e.l.lo to the graduate student.”
The slimmer department head immediately walked toward Wu Mo after he finished speaking. Elder Zheng quickly followed him, afraid that he would miss the opportunity to get to know Wu Mo.
Although Wu Mo was only a second lieutenant and his rank was much lower than theirs, both heads were eager to recruit talents to their departments.
They had thrown the strict superior-subordinate relationship to the back of their minds long ago.
Soon, the two of them arrived before Wu Mo. Company Commander Zhang saw the two commanders’ anxious faces and instantly understood their intentions.
“It looks like our two leaders can’t wait any longer. Allow me to introduce you.” He smiled.
“This is Zheng Shaohui, the head of our military region’s Research and Development Department, and this is Chu Yi, the head of the Arms Management Department. The latest armored vehicle you saw was jointly developed by these two heads.”
Company Commander Zhang’s introduction gave Wu Mo a good picture.
He quickly said, “h.e.l.lo, Commander Zheng, Commander Chu. I’m Wu Mo, a graduate student from the fifth Research Department. I’m here to observe the combat practices in your area. Please guide me during the next few days.”
The two department heads grew even fonder of Wu Mo when they saw how polite he was.
Zheng Shaohui courteously said, “Of course. We welcome you to the Third Military Region very much. You’re a talent from the Research Department. We can’t neglect you.”
Wu Mo’s face turned red from his praise. He quickly waved his hand and said, “I was just lucky, Commander Zheng. You’re too kind.”
Chu Yi also smiled and shook hands with Wu Mo. “You don’t have to be so formal in the military. Just treat it as your own home. If you encounter anything you don’t understand here, you can come to me anytime.”
“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you two commanders then.”
Wu Mo found it a little difficult to refuse such hospitality from several leaders, so he could only go along.
“Comrade Wu Mo, the two department heads have always been very enthusiastic. You’ll get used to it after a few more days.”
Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin noticed that Wu Mo was not used to it, so immediately explained with a smile.
“Haha, who doesn’t like a talented person who can make important contributions to war?”
The few of them laughed and chatted.
While they were at it, the two commanders enthusiastically introduced the exercise to Wu Mo.
There were two teams with powerful members partic.i.p.ating in the exercise this time, and both heads.e.xplained the entire process to Wu Mo in detail.
They also hoped that Mr. Wu would visit the Third Military Region more often so that he could design more things for them.
The Invisibility Armor was a breath of fresh air for the commanders who were in charge of the military.
They looked at him in a new way, especially after learning that this was only the first version.
They sensed that down the road, Wu Mo would become a rare talent in the Nine Provinces.
After all, many young blacksmiths did not understand the situation on the battlefield at first. Hence, the things they designed would deviate from reality, making them difficult to use in actual combat.
However, all the effects of Wu Mo’s Invisibility Armor suited the cultivator soldiers on the front line. Even seven-star blacksmiths praised Wu Mo’s work.
“Thank you, Commanders. I now have a clear understanding of the rules and matters related to the exercise,” Wu Mo cupped his hands and said gratefully.
Commander Zheng waved his hand humbly, indicating that this was just a small matter.
“Alright, it’s Comrade Wu Mo’s first time in our military region, so I’ll take my leave and arrange a place for him to stay.”
Zhang Jianfeng said goodbye to the two commanders and immediately led Wu Mo to the VIP residence area with Ren Bin.
On the way, Wu Mo saw many troops training. As Wu Mo saw the sweating soldiers train in their camouflage uniforms, he could not help but admire them.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the military residence.
The residence was similar to a residential area, and Wu Mo saw a magnificent, symmetrical Chinese gate before him.
At the top of the gate, there was a red five-pointed star, which added a solemn atmosphere to the place.
With Company Commander Zhang leading the way, Wu Mo and the other two entered without a hitch.
They first brought Wu Mo to the registration room to complete the house registration.
Then, they arrived at the front of the building.
Wu Mo was a.s.signed to Building 2, Room 301.
It was a standard room with a balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows. It covered an area of more than 100 square meters.
Not only did it have access to beautiful scenery, but its lighting was also excellent.
There was a convenience store and other practical facilities not far from the ground floor.
“Okay, we won’t disrupt your rest now, Wu Mo. The exercise will begin at 9.00 am the day after tomorrow. I’ll inform you about it as soon as possible,” Company Commander Zhang told him softly.
“If you want a tour of the military region, you can contact me at any time. I’ll ask Little Sun to show you the Third Military Region’s vast land and its spirit of iron!”
The two of them treated Wu Mo like family. They took care of everything in every possible way, afraid that Wu Mo would feel distant there.
Wu Mo was extremely grateful for it.
After saying goodbye to the two leaders, he immediately started to look around the room.
The room was decorated in the Chinese style with three separate bathrooms. The living room was s.p.a.cious and bright, with a leather couch and a 72-inch LCD TV.
Meanwhile, the bed in the bedroom was soft and comfortable, without any weird smell.
It was even more comfortable than a hotel.
As he sat on the couch, his entire body sunk in, and it wrapped in a slow-elastic sponge.
Looking at the crystal chandelier, he began to think about what he should do before the exercise began.
The exercise would only start at 9.00 am the day after tomorrow, and he could use the free time before that to supplement his knowledge.
He snapped his fingers lightly, and a white light flashed in front of him. The next moment, a thick book appeared on the coffee table.
Wu Mo picked up the book and began to read it with great interest.
