Chapter 378 - 378 Moving Out, Ready to Leave
378 Moving Out, Ready to Leave
[Therefore, authors inject some spirit energy into their books. When the books are read later, detailed knowledge that cannot be written will be transferred to the reader through their spirit energy.
[As such, every time someone reads a book on smithing, the time spent would be three times that of a normal book.]
After hearing the system’s explanation of the forging book in his mind, Wu Mo nodded in understanding.
“No wonder I consumed a lot of energy every time I read the forging notes from the internal reference room, even though they were only a few dozen pages long.”
Wu Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry. Only now did he finally understand the question that had been in his heart for half a year.
“It’s a little late now, so I’m not going to open this book yet. I’ll study it tomorrow.”
Considering that he would definitely spend hours reading the book once he opened it, Wu Mo stored the book in his Interspatial Ring first.
Then, he closed his eyes and cleared his mind.
He then left the Divine-grade Forging Space.
Wu Mo sat on the bed and relaxed when he saw the bedroom’s familiar layout.
Now that the matter of the gear had been resolved and there was no longer a race against time, he could finally rest for a while.
“I have to sleep early. I still have to go back to the Research Department tomorrow.”
Looking at the soft light from the hanging lamp on the ceiling, Wu Mo touched his nose and muttered to himself. He immediately got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
Not long after, he returned to his room, still wearing his wet slippers.
He drew the curtains and adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature.
After that, Wu Mo drank a glass of milk and returned to bed. He slowly closed his eyes as he planned to have a good sleep.
This was the best reward he could think of for now.
It had not been easy trying to complete the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s research and development. Only he knew the hard work and fatigue he had to endure.
He would take a little nap as a reward for himself.
He closed his eyes and relaxed his whole body. After a while, Wu Mo felt a wave of fatigue hit him like a tide.
The sounds in his ears gradually disappeared, and he fell into deep slumber.
The only thing left in the room was the silvery-white moonlight that shone through the gap in the curtains.
Time passed with Wu Mo’s even breathing, and morning arrived in the blink of an eye.
Wu Mo was well-rested.
By the time he woke up, the sunlight outside the window was already a little glaring.
As he stretched lazily, Wu Mo felt that all the tiredness in his body had disappeared and been replaced with energy.
There was no more numbness and weakness in his neck, or any dry and uncomfortable feeling in his eyes.
“As expected, slacking off is the way to live long.”
Wu Mo’s joy was beyond words when he sensed the changes in his body.
Of course, he knew the importance of balancing work and rest. The previous improvement project had just been incredibly rushed, and he had no time to rest.
Wu Mo then got up and put on his clothes. He had planned to book a train ticket online to go back.
However, as soon as he unlocked his phone, an unread message popped up.
[I’ve already arranged for a liaison to pick you up. He’ll arrive at the factory at 1.00 pm. You should get ready. The military headquarters ordered this, so you can’t reject it.]
Wu Mo looked at the text message from Academician Xu and smiled helplessly.
Although it was more convenient to take a military vehicle, he felt that such treatment was not suitable for him.
After all, under normal circumstances, only powerful leaders would ride a military vehicle. He was just an ordinary researcher, so it did not feel good to take a military vehicle back to the Research Department.
[Okay, I’ll get ready. Thank you, Academician Xu.]
Even though Wu Mo was a little reluctant, he still chose to cooperate and replied to Academician Xu’s message.
The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear that he had developed was highly valued by the military leaders of the eastern war zone. It was no surprise that he was receiving special treatment.
As long as this incident died down after a while, he would be able to return to his normal life.
From Wu Mo’s point of view, this was probably the only downside of successfully developing new equipment.
“Since I’m leaving, I should say goodbye to Elder Huang and the others.”
Wu Mo put on his windbreaker and walked out the door, facing the white snowflakes that were floating in the air.
The White River province was located in the north of the Nine Provinces, so when winter came, most of the regions in White River would experience snowfall.
Therefore, ice and snow were common sights in the White River province.
Wu Mo walked in the snow-covered armory, and his black boots made a squeaking sound as they pressed against the snow.
The shrubbery on both sides were covered in white frost, and one could just vaguely see the withered yellow color underneath from a certain angle.
The roofs of the surrounding buildings were also covered in a thick layer of snow. It gave the place a holy and pure aura that no one could bear to destroy.
However, on the main road where the trucks often transported materials, the snow had been cleared by the staff.
Many people were working hard at this moment.
Only a small number of staff members wearing thermal equipment were doing outdoor work.
They had deep frowns, and their noses were slightly red from the cold.
Nevertheless, they still did their jobs diligently and did not neglect their duties because of the cold.
Many of them knew Wu Mo, the person who had recently become famous in the armory.
They waved and greeted him as he passed by or bumped into them.
Feeling their enthusiasm, Wu Mo smiled back.
Although the atmosphere in the armory was a mix of pedantic and inflexible, the armory also dedicated itself to the field of forging by fostering a hardworking and pragmatic academic atmosphere.
Not long after, Wu Mo arrived before Elder Huang’s office in the snow.
Wearing a khaki-colored coat, Wei Ge was discussing the reform of the production workshop’s system with an assistant outside the office.
Meanwhile, Elder Huang was sitting on the couch in the office and signing some documents. Next to him, the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, had a smile on his face. It looked like he had signed another big order.
“Wu Mo, you’re here.”
After Elder Huang signed the document, he looked up and saw Wu Mo standing at the door.
He did not seem surprised at all. After he greeted him, he beckoned Wu Mo to sit down on the couch.
Wu Mo was a little taken aback by Elder Huang’s attitude, but he thought about it. Academician Xu would have informed Elder Huang before arranging his return to the Research Department.
So, Elder Huang definitely knew the purpose of his visit.
“Yes, I’m here to say goodbye. I’m going back to the Fifth Research Department in the afternoon.”
Wu Mo sat down on the couch at the side and told them the purpose of his visit.
Cao Jianzhong, the armory’s deputy director, was standing nearby and sorting out documents. He was shocked when he heard Wu Mo’s words. He immediately turned around and asked in confusion, “Huh, you’re leaving so soon? Did something happen?”
