Chapter 451 Overthinking Again
Kang An was taken aback and quickly called over the guards to inquire.
“It does seem like there are quite a few. This area isn’t usually a gathering place for mutants, but there have been more mutants appearing here in the last two days,” one of them replied.
Another person added, "However, our place is already well-hidden, and so far no mutants have invaded."
Kang An's expression immediately changed: "The mutated species attack disaster twelve years ago started with the sudden increase in the number of mutated species gathering in the vicinity..."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. Mutants are known for their unpredictable behavior." The fat man thought it was no big deal.
"Maybe." Kang An also hoped that this was just him worrying unnecessarily.
Xi Yu lowered her eyes slightly; she had a feeling that things weren't so simple.
……
At the military headquarters, Yan San, in his capacity as marshal, formally summoned the commanders of the major legions and the headquarters' high-ranking officials.
This meeting was held to strengthen the Empire's military power and to formulate future policies.
In the large headquarters conference room, Yan San sat at the head of the table, with Fu Baili beside him and Mo Qinglan and Yue Chengsi standing behind him.
The commanders of the other five legions and the highest-ranking officials at headquarters, Han Yuanzheng and Han Jingshuo, as well as the executive officers of various departments, were all present.
"We still have some doubts about the energy weapon research report submitted by the First Legion."
Commander Huang of the Second Legion narrowed his small eyes: "The report mentions an energy stone, a key ingredient in the core of energy weapons, but it doesn't provide detailed information about the energy stone..."
Fu Baili smiled and bowed, saying, "It's not that we're deliberately hiding it, but the research on energy stones is not yet complete and cannot be mass-produced. To prevent errors in the research, we decided to wait for Dr. Qi to find a solution. However, everyone can rest assured that our First Legion promises that once the research yields results, it will definitely benefit the entire military and even the entire empire."
Han Yuanzheng smirked coldly. Wasn't Fu Baili's statement simply a ploy to use energy weapons to bind the various legions? He said coldly, "Marshal, this is unfair. You've given everyone research data, but you've withheld the most crucial part. If you're unwilling to share your findings..."
"General Han is overthinking things again." Yan San raised his eyes slightly and looked directly at Han Yuanzheng, a smile playing on his lips. "Energy stones are not only the main raw material for making energy weapons, but they are also dangerous items containing powerful energy. If we rashly release the data before the research is complete, and it is used by those with ulterior motives to harm the people of the Empire, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"
Han Yuanzheng frowned, his tightly pursed lips revealing his displeasure.
Yan San lowered his brows slightly and slowly opened his lips, saying, "In order to make the research proceed more smoothly, I propose that each research institute send two assistants to the First Legion to assist Dr. Qi. What do you all think?"
Commander Huang, who was initially extremely dissatisfied, agreed without hesitation upon hearing this. His eyes lit up with eagerness; participating in the research was far better than directly receiving the results! Sharing research findings could be done with some reservations, but participating in a research project meant making all the data completely public!
Not only Commander Huang, but everyone else swallowed their dissatisfaction and praised Yan San for his fair handling of affairs without any personal bias, which made Han Yuanzheng furious.
