"Brother."
Qin Shiqi’s crisp voice called out.
"Hmm?"
Tang Qing looked up.
"You’ve been designing for so long, do you have any other creations? I an, besides those two-wheel and four-wheel electric vehicles and the mobile phone accessories sold on Epoch’s official website."
Qin Shiqi asked curiously.
She had heard that Tang Qing often drew and sketched during class, and did the sa at ho whenever he had free ti—sotis filling a stack of paper in a single day. Lin Jiaxue said it was design work, but she had never seen any other impressive tech products from him.
"Of course I do. However, most of them are still at the blueprint and evaluation stage. So have been handed over to third-party research institutions for further analysis, while others are kept as technical reserves, stored safely."
Tang Qing explained.
"I see." Qin Shiqi nodded in realization, then asked again, "Are they impressive?"
Tang Qing smiled.
Impressive?
Definitely impressive.
But most of them couldn’t be revealed.
He had no choice but to respond vaguely: "Not bad. Compared to existing products, they have certain advantages, but a lot of the stuff isn’t ant for mass consumption. Even if they were launched, their market wouldn’t be very large."
"Not for mass consumption?" Qin Shiqi’s interest heightened.
The others felt the sa way.
"For example," Tang Qing’s father chid in.
After so thought.
Tang Qing decided to disclose a small portion.
"Precision CNC machines, underwater drilling platforms, recyclable rocket launchers, supersonic UAVs, detection satellites... The key technological verifications are almost completed."
As soon as Tang Qing finished speaking.
Silence enveloped the dining table.
Everyone stared blankly at Tang Qing.
Each ntion had caused their expressions to grow increasingly wide-eyed. They had initially assud he was talking about new concept cars or so fancy electronic products, perhaps smart furniture—yet the things that ca out of his mouth were... what?
CNC machines?
Underwater drilling platforms?
Recyclable rockets.
Detection satellites.
Supersonic UAVs?
...
Oh my god.
Are you planning to defy the heavens?!
Seeing their reactions, Tang Qing genuinely hadn’t intended to show off. But he couldn’t just keep making palm-sized tech gadgets or items like smart refrigerators, which he considered re "trinkets."
Exactly.
Those things.
To him, they were nothing more than trinkets.
Not that the term was ant disparagingly; it was just his way of expressing how unchallenging they felt. If he were to play, he’d rather play big—venturing into realms dominated by "industrial behemoths" and "cutting-edge innovations," where worthier challenges awaited.
Fortunately.
He hadn’t ntioned his projects on "air-sea carriers" or "spacecraft." Humanity’s vision for the future had already driven him to start working on such endeavors, though many technical issues remained unresolved.
The biggest issue was still power.
But.
He believed.
Once he solved the controlled nuclear fusion problem, many obstacles would naturally fall into place. The issue was that the stingy system simply refused to provide him the necessary technology. He had mastered civilian nuclear fission technology but hesitated to deploy it for the ti being.
Hence.
Relatively speaking.
Things like rocket recycling and satellites were rather low-end applications.
Of course.
Anything with a strong military nature, even if technically mature, was off-limits for Tang Qing. He had no intention of inviting trouble. Handing it over to Ling or ERV would be perfectly fine.
Military equipnt.
Was likewise a testant to a consortium’s strength.
Eventually.
In the worst-case scenario, he could revive that "runaway internet hacking expert" organization and... haha, recruit a lot of people while raking in massive profits. Couldn’t be more fun.
"Tangtang, at what stage is the technology developnt now?" Tang Kai asked seriously.
"The preliminary version is roughly complete. We’re refining it to improve stability, durability, and cost reduction. However, each investnt is enormous, starting at tens of billions, so it still needs more ti in the lab."
"Phew."
Tang Kai took a deep breath.
Calming the excitent and astonishnt in his heart.
"As long as you believe in it and think it’s right, no matter how much money it takes, we’ll do it." Tang Kai clenched his fist. With soone like Tang Qing in the Tang Family, possessing such incredible talent, he would always support him—even if Tang Qing had no money himself.
"Tangtang, are you confident?" Mother Tang asked nervously.
Tang Qing chuckled: "The process is more important than the result."
"Where are the technologies kept? Are they secure?" Tang Qing’s father asked again.
"They’re with a trusted partner. Strictly speaking, I only handle the core technical standards and exterior designs, along with so internal equipnt designs. The majority of the work is conducted by nurous researchers."
"As for who, Uncle probably knows—Zhiya Research Center. Didn’t they roll out that research collaboration service? They have over two hundred different scientific institutions in Huaxia, making it much easier than cobbling together experts on my own."
Tang Qing carefully nadropped the company.
Upon hearing this.
Their mories clicked on the research center.
The coating for Tang Kai’s electric vehicle had been a patent from this research center. Initially, the technologies provided at Xin’an Town’s battery factory, motor factory, and specialty steel factory had all originated here.
Tang Kai was familiar.
He had introduced it to Tang Qing.
No doubt about it.
But Tang Kai knew better—it wasn’t his introduction that had led to Tang Qing’s connection with Ling. That friend truly had remarkable connections. If it was this research center, he could rest easy.
"What kind of enterprise is it?" Qin Shiqi asked, having not paid attention to these things before.
Tang Kai replied: "Myanmar."
"Is it well-known?"
"In the industry, it’s very prestigious. It’s the largest research center in Myanmar and employs the most scientists. It researches virtually all branches of natural science. For instance, its creation of transcription fluid for cancer treatnt has gained worldwide renown."
"The globally popular filter device that many people attribute to the Myanmar Environntal Technology Company was actually developed by this center. As for recent achievents, there’s this."
Tang Kai shook the Epoch-branded item in his hand.
"The global 4G standard. The leading supplier of 4G equipnt today, Zhihua Technology, is a partnership between Huawei and this research center, with equal shares in the company."
After listening.
Qin Shiqi was stunned.
Those who hadn’t known much about the center were stunned too.
Absolutely extraordinary!
So many groundbreaking technologies had originated from it.
"Nowadays, the center is practically the cradle of science in Myanmar—almost every scientist in Myanmar dreams of working there. I’ve even heard Ling plans to rena it the Myanmar National Academy of Sciences."
"Previously, Myanmar didn’t even have titles like academicians, but now it does. If the parliant approves the asure, I expect dozens more scientists will earn the rank."
Tang Kai marveled.
His own tech companies had collaborated with this research center. The partnerships had been extrely fruitful, allowing him to outsource R&D securely. If a technology existed, it could be licensed directly; if it didn’t, the center could develop it for him.
It was a bit like... cloud R&D?
Yes.
That was the term.
"So, if it’s a collaboration with this research center, there’s no need to worry about technical leaks or them stealing Tangtang’s ideas. You can rest assured."
Tang Kai reassured Tang Qing’s parents.
"That’s comforting, very comforting."
The others felt reassured as well.
