As soon as Gu Bai walked in, a young woman in a white lab coat approached him and said energetically.
“Hello, hello, I’m Ren Xiaoli. You’re Mr. Gu’s son, Gu Bai, right?”
Gu Bai looked at the young woman who was a head shorter than him.
Her name was Ren Xiaoli, two years older than him, and she was a genius weapons researcher.
He had heard of her before, but seeing her now, he didn’t expect her to be much younger than he had imagined.
“Hello, my name is Gu Bai.”
As this was their first meeting, Gu Bai greeted her politely.
However, it was clear that the young woman didn’t care for such formalities.
She stepped forward excitedly and said.
“Mr. Gu has already shown me your design blueprints. I think it’s a groundbreaking idea. Can we test its performance first?”
Unlike Gu Bai’s father, Ren Xiaoli didn’t rush to question the drone’s performance.
She clearly knew that Gu Bai’s design was feasible.
The only difficulty in mass production might be the chip inside the drone.
Gu Bai had obtained that chip from abroad, and there was no comparable technology domestically, so mass production could be quite challenging.
“Alright.”
Gu Bai assembled the drone and set it up, preparing for a test.
But the female office worker behind him spoke up.
“This looks like a toy. Are you sure this isn’t a joke?”
She clearly didn’t think it had any impressive or outstanding features.
Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoli adjusted her glasses and said.
“Manager Du, you office workers naturally can’t see how impressive this is, so there’s no need for you to stay here.”
After hearing Ren Xiaoli’s words, Manager Du frowned.
She looked at Gu Bai and then said.
“I don’t want the research department’s budget to be used for some toy, so I have to see what it can do.”
Of course, she didn’t trust the abilities of a so-called “high official’s son,” even though she herself knew nothing about this field.
Faced with Manager Du’s insistence, Ren Xiaoli couldn’t say anything more.
She turned to Gu Bai and said.
“Sorry, Manager Du is just like that.”
Hearing Ren Xiaoli’s apology, Gu Bai didn’t say much.
He didn’t want to waste time, so he started his experiment.
When the drone took off, it looked quite ordinary, similar to a regular toy plane.
But as a researcher, Ren Xiaoli clearly noticed that the quadcopter drone Gu Bai designed not only had superb balance but also considerable speed.
On such a vast testing ground, it could complete a lap in just one minute.
“Amazing…”
Even Ren Xiaoli, hailed as a genius designer by the world, gasped in shock at such outstanding performance.
Before Gu Bai arrived, she had speculated about the drone’s capabilities, but seeing it in person, she realized her predictions had been too conservative.
Just as Mr. Gu had said, this thing could become a terrifying weapon.
Over the next period, Gu Bai and Ren Xiaoli tested and experimented with all the drone’s capabilities one by one.
After finishing this work, Manager Du, who had initially shown some contempt and disdain for Gu Bai, couldn’t help but question her own judgment.
She even began to suspect whether Gu Bai had bought this drone from abroad.
But the problem was that even she had never seen such a model of drone overseas, let alone know where to buy it.
Moreover, Gu Bai had complete design blueprints.
If he had just bought it, how could he understand the details inside?
Ren Xiaoli recorded all the drone’s parameters, then excitedly and impatiently grabbed Gu Bai’s hand and said.
“This is incredible! I can’t believe a college student made this!”
“It’s just for the money, nothing special.”
Gu Bai shrugged indifferently.
Since Longteng Military Industry was satisfied, he didn’t mind selling the patent.
After all, it was his father’s company, so he wasn’t afraid of being cheated.
“It’s not a matter of money!”
Ren Xiaoli said firmly.
“Once we can mass-produce this drone, it will be a huge boost to our national strength!”
Ren Xiaoli naturally wouldn’t ask where Gu Bai got the chip.
She was a researcher, but she wasn’t tactless.
Seeing that she didn’t press further about the chip’s origin, Gu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
The chip’s origin was indeed hard to explain.
Although Manager Du hadn’t been very approving of Gu Bai at first, she wasn’t stupid.
After witnessing the drone’s capabilities, she changed her attitude and said.
“We’ll take the patent for this thing. The contract and everything are negotiable.”
“It’s fine, I’m not good at contracts. Just go to my dad to handle it.”
Gu Bai didn’t bother to play games with contract issues.
He was just a college student and didn’t understand much of that stuff.
So it was more reliable to leave it to his father.
“Mr. Gu is really carefree…”
Manager Du looked at Gu Bai’s indifferent expression with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Then she took the documents in her hand and prepared to go find Gu Bai’s father to sign.
Soon, only Gu Bai and Ren Xiaoli remained in the testing ground.
The young woman gently stroked the black casing of the drone, as if handling a rare treasure.
She looked at it from left to right, almost wanting to press her eyes against it.
Seeing her like this, Gu Bai could only say helplessly.
“I’ll leave the prototype in your research lab.”
“Really?!”
Ren Xiaoli’s eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.
“Aren’t you afraid we’ll break it?”
“Why would I be afraid?”
Gu Bai said indifferently.
“If you break it, I can fix it.”
Looking at this confident young man before her, Ren Xiaoli was momentarily speechless.
After thinking it over, she said to Gu Bai.
“I might be busy today. Let’s exchange WeChat first. I’ll contact you if I have questions later. Thanks.”
“There’s nothing to thank me for…”
Gu Bai said, but he still added Ren Xiaoli on WeChat.
After confirming the addition, the young woman almost jumped up in excitement.
Her energetic look didn’t resemble a researcher at all; she was more like an innocent young girl.
She really did look quite cute.
When Gu Bai walked out of the Longteng Military Industry building, he realized it was already late, so he prepared to go back to the school cafeteria for a meal.
“Need a ride back?”
Manager Du drove her black luxury car over and said to Gu Bai.
“Nanjiang University is quite far from here.”
“Okay.”
Gu Bai didn’t refuse.
Soon after, the students of Nanjiang University saw a black luxury car roar into the campus.
