313 Proper Arrangements
Various instruments occupied most of the space around the research facility, and there was a circular hole with a diameter of several dozen meters in the middle of the facility. Numerous pipes extended from the ground and connected to various instruments.
It looked like the central control system.
“It turns out that steam is actually driving such a huge instrument!”
Looking at the instruments all around him and the staff members who were constantly adjusting the values of the major instruments, Wu Mo was shocked.
Aside from the central control console that provided power to the various instruments, the other instruments were arranged in square arrays at the research facility’s core.
However, some of the instruments surrounded the arrays, and it seemed that only those with high authority could use them.
In addition, there was also a rest area in the research facility. After all, forging was not something that could be completed in a day or two. When one was tired from work, they could go to the rest area to replenish their energy.
Not far from the rest area, there were rows of offices for learning.
Wu Mo followed the three of them to the Information Management Office, and it did not take long for Wu Mo to be assigned an office.
The last task was dormitory allocation. Elder Huang seemed to be in a hurry. He did not give Wu Mo any time to collect himself. He left the array’s field of vision and went straight to the dormitory building.
Even though Wu Mo felt a little indignant, he still left the place reluctantly.
About five minutes later, Wu Mo was assigned a dormitory.
Armory No. 64 was a state-owned enterprise, unlike the electronics factories in the city, where the capitalists would stuff 10 people into a room.
Wu Mo would live in a single dormitory as he wished.
He felt extremely satisfied and he observed the single dormitory, which was dozens of square meters in size and warmly decorated.
Although this place was not as good as the villa, Wu Mo did not have any high demands for such things, so he quickly adapted.
“Familiarize yourself with the environment and facilities in the armory for the next two days, and take a look at the excellent design drafts for this month. You can start work in two days.”
Seeing how impatient Elder Huang was, Wu Mo’s heart immediately became a little turbulent, but he still agreed with a serious face.
“Oh, right, Elder Huang, can I do some other research during my free time at the armory?”
After he posed the question, he immediately looked at Elder Huang to see his reaction.
At the end of the day, he had traveled to the armory to forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. If he could not use the high-tech instruments in the research facility outside of work, it would be equivalent to Wu Mo making 100 pointless trips.
Hence, he had been very concerned about this matter from the beginning.
Elder Huang had originally planned to leave, but after he heard Wu Mo’s question, a look of pride immediately appeared on his face.
He smiled. “We don’t have much in this armory, but we have the most materials and modern equipment. As long as it doesn’t violate the rules, you can use the equipment in the research and development plant as you please.”
Once Wu Mo got a definite answer, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and a smile of anticipation appeared on his face.
Seeing the change in Wu Mo’s expression, the man and woman standing next to Elder Huang immediately looked at each other with curiosity.
Did this kid visit Armory No. 64 harboring different intentions?
The two of them had some doubts in their hearts, but they quickly threw them to the back of their minds.
Supervising the quality of the mass-produced equipment alone would already consume plenty of energy. Even if Wu Mo could develop other projects during his time, they would not be worth mentioning.
They were curious, but they did not ask.
However, Elder Huang did not consider this. He promptly asked in confusion, “What ideas do you have? What do you plan on developing?”
Wu Mo did not hide anything as he faced Elder Huang’s question, immediately telling him his research direction.
“I’m planning to forge an exoskeleton armor.”
Wu Mo’s answer made the two people standing behind elder Huang freeze slightly.
However, Elder Huang shook his head and responded with disappointment, “Tsk, I was wondering what it was. I didn’t expect it to be another gaudy thing. This old man has no interest in such things. You can play on your own.
“Alright, the procedure is done. I’ll take my leave first. You can make your own arrangements for the time being. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can contact Wei Ge.”
Seeing that everything had been settled, Elder Huang did not stay any longer and turned to leave the dormitory building.
Soon, the sound of his footsteps disappeared. At this moment, the man and woman standing at the door exchanged looks. Then, the man called Wei Ge swiftly walked forward with a smile.
“Elder Huang has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He didn’t mean to target you. After all, at his age, his temper is more or less strange. I hope you won’t pay him much mind.” Wei Ge smiled as he explained.
At the same time, he extended his right hand to Wu Mo.
“It’s okay, I understand.”
Shaking Wei Ge’s hand, Wu Mo revealed a kind smile in return.
However, Wu Mo mumbled in his heart, ‘There are old people in the Fifth Research Department too; Professor Liu, Academician Xu, and Old Wen. They’re just as long-winded as him.’
“This is my phone number. You can contact me if you need anything in the future.”
After saving Wei Ge’s phone number, Wu Mo chatted with him for a while and roughly understood the history of Armory No. 64’s construction.
Although there was a big age gap between the two, they had a good chat.
The young woman urged them repeatedly, and their chat finally came to an end.
After sending the two off, Wu Mo pushed open the door and returned to his single dormitory.
Looking at the warm white light on the ceiling, he took off his coat and lay on the bed.
The small bed reminded Wu Mo of his school days.
Back when he was studying, he lived in a single dormitory that was less than 20 square meters too.
Thoughts flew in his mind as he slowly closed his eyes. The images that were deeply etched in his mind were like slides, skipping over one by one.
“I wonder how Jiang Mengyao is doing now. She should have reached the five-star rank.
“It’s almost the end of the year, and the Divine Arms Academy will be closed for break. Professor Zhou Yan should be able to rest now,” Wu Mo said to himself as he lay on the bed.
Just then, something occurred to him, and he immediately opened his eyes.
“How’s Little Yan’s recent academic performance? I’m free now, so I have to call back and ask.”
Wu Mo sat up on the bed and quickly dialed a very familiar number.
“Hello, Son. What a surprise. Won’t calling over affect your work?”
It did not take long for the call to connect, and his mother’s familiar voice came through.
Wu Mo immediately started to chat with his mother when he sensed the warmth in her voice.
On the phone, Wu Mo asked about his parents’ physical condition and his sister’s academic status.
“Your dad went out to buy some ginger. He’ll be back soon. We’re both in good health now, and the neighbors are very easy to get along with. Don’t worry.
“Little Yan was fifth in her class two days ago. Her grades have caught up.”
Hearing that his family was doing well, Wu Mo instantly smiled with relief.
