Fang Heng nodded and asked, “How’s the progress of the repetitive research? Which step are we stuck at?”

“To be honest, the situation isn’t looking too good right now. Actually, the compound that we first developed was an accident. We tried to replicate it twice but failed. Other than the fruit that you have, there are a few other special materials that require specific steps to be produced. We must have neglected some steps during the fusion process, so we kept failing.”

Tan Guangbin believed that there was no problem with the area he was in charge of.

“There are also some materials that need to be brought out of the game as scientific research items. You know, the Federation needs to go through the process, and this process is usually very torturous.”

Fang Heng nodded and observed a small part of the semi-finished product in the glass window. He could not help but think.

The internal information of the research project team was not confidential to the project researchers. They could easily obtain it after staying here for a few days.

As long as he could find a way to get the information and bring it back to the game world to give to Qiu Yaokang, he would most likely be able to replicate it.

If he wanted to mass produce it, the biggest problem was still the production of raw materials.

Even the project team could not determine the specific materials’ level and requirements.

“But don’t worry. The team leader is competent. She will have a way. Moreover, with you joining us, our efficiency will increase a lot. We will definitely be able to make it in time for the mid-term report.”

Tan Guangbin encouraged himself.

“Yes.”

Fang Heng, like his team, hoped to obtain the compound as soon as possible. He raised his head and asked, “Is there no other way to speed up the research and development?”

“It’s not that there isn’t, unless…”

Tan Guangbin opened his mouth and changed his words, “Forget it.”

“Senior, you have a way? If you don’t say the second half of your sentence, I won’t be able to sleep at night.”

Tan Guangbin smiled bitterly, shook his head, and explained, “It’s not that we’re talking about rapid research and development. To be honest, our research team initially produced a large piece of compound. The one sent to the exhibition last time was only a small part of it.”

Fang Heng’s interest was piqued. He asked, “Hmm? What about the rest?”

“Over at the Federation.”

Tan Guangbin’s dissatisfaction with the Federation grew as he continued, “According to the requirements of the Federation, the safety of the newly discovered special compound must be ensured. A portion of it must be handed over to the Federation for proper placement.”

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, “You handed it over to the Federation? Can’t get it back? Couldn’t you find a way to get a small portion back?”

“Tsk, the Federation doesn’t care about the life and death of our project team. We’ve already applied in the name of the school. After being rejected, we applied again and again.”

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and asked softly, “Do you know where the Central Federation keeps their things? Can we find it?”

“Hmm? Are you crazy?”

When Tan Guangbin heard Fang Heng’s question, his first reaction was that Fang Heng had gone crazy.

If he was found out, Fang Heng would be sent to the sewing machine and trampled to death.

“Junior, I know you’re anxious, but there’s no need. You’re still young and don’t understand. Really, there’s no need.”

“Haha, I was just asking.”

Fang Heng also laughed.

Indeed, there was no need.

So what if he obtained the compound in advance?

If he lacked production methods, it would be a smear in the end.

Fang Heng said jokingly, “Isn’t our project rated C? The supervision of items isn’t very strict, right? We need to find a way to sneak in and replace some of the items. The people from the Federation don’t understand at all. They don’t know what the chemical compound does.”

Tan Guangbin listened to Fang Heng and opened his mouth again. He felt that this junior was really bold and reckless. He even dared to scheme against the Federation.

“How is it? Senior, am I right?”

“Stop, stop.”
Tan Guangbin quickly stopped Fang Heng from continuing, afraid that Fang Heng would say something disgraceful and be dragged into the Federation to be trampled on the sewing machine.

Indeed, it was a pity that the project team was disbanded, but it was not necessary to take such a big risk.

Besides, the project team had not been disbanded yet!

“Junior, I know you want to help, but this is not the right way. Just focus on taking care of the ancient bronze wood. Leave the rest to us.”

“Alright then.”

Fang Heng shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to mention this matter. He thought about memorizing the compound production blueprint first and thinking of a way to bring it back to Qiu Yaokang’s research team for analysis.

…

When Fang Heng logged back into the game, it was already after his spatial science class at night.

Before he went online, he had been on the phone with Mo Jiawei for more than half an hour.

The situation outside the mausoleum was generally stable.

“Bad news. The Federation has already begun to explore the main mausoleum. They’re speeding up the restoration of the mausoleum where the space collapsed. They’re also investigating the entire world. As for Black Castle, they have completely retreated so there’s no problem.”

Fang Heng returned to the main hall of the mausoleum and took two steps to the side. He came to find Charlene, who was farming monsters, and could not help but sigh.

The Federation’s investigation of the mausoleum world had directly led to the teleportation passage that he had secretly opened near the camp being completely exposed. It could no longer be used.

Starfish Company could no longer use the passage to transport ore materials and was forced to cooperate with the Federation. They were still in communication.

The situation was not good.

It was estimated that the Federation would take a large share of the income.

There was no news about the people Old Black sent. He didn’t know what they were up to.

“Yes, I can foresee it.”

Charlene nodded, not surprised.

Fang Heng pointed at the ceiling and said, “So we need to hurry up. We have to get rid of those guys up there before the Federation finds us.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go up and take a look at the maintenance.”

The two of them returned to the second floor.

In just one afternoon, a portion of the research room on the second floor had been restored, and it had once again expanded a distance.

The space tearing stabilizing device was very effective.

The zombie clones moved very quickly. They gathered in front of the machine and stood there in a daze.

Eh? Had all the repairs been completed?

Fang Heng looked at the game notification and was a little surprised.

He had thought that it would take a long time.

Fang Heng once again walked to the large instrument next to the tempered glass laboratory and squatted down to check for a moment.

The alloy materials used by the alien spawns were of a higher grade, so the damage to the entire machinery was actually very low. Moreover, a large portion of the damaged parts were replaced, and they could be used after simple replacement.

The difficulty of maintenance was actually very low.

This was good news!

Charlene was a little surprised and asked, “It’s done? So fast?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

After confirming that there was no mistake, Fang Heng immediately cleared out a small area and began to set up an energy conversion alchemy magic array on the floor.

The energy supply area of the entire second floor was located in the power supply central room.

The central control room was still in the area of the spatial collapse.

It would take at least another two days for the entire power supply system to be restored.

He might as well use an alchemy magic array to replace the energy source.
