Chapter 13: An Invitation to Meet!

Page 1/3

When Shen Yu returned to his own world and his company, his mind was still lingering on those two children. Having traveled to another world, he too had an imperative reason to save that world. As his original self, he was no different. Fortunately, the power within him, supported by aid from another world, gave him considerable confidence.

“It’s time to make a big move,” Shen Yu said, pulling out his personal terminal.

At that very moment, not far from Linhai City, a military base buzzed with intense discussion among a group of top scientists gathered from the nation’s leading universities and research institutes. Their rising voices and excited tones revealed their emotions clearly.

Several representatives stood in a video conference room, reporting the situation.

“Preliminary analysis confirms that all the technologies are authentic!” spoke an elderly man nearing seventy, his face flushed with excitement, his voice trembling slightly.

“Materials science is a field where miracles can occur suddenly, but these technologies are different. The techniques involved are not coincidences or miracles; they are built upon a profound foundation of expertise. Judging from just the tip of the iceberg, the team that designed these three products must possess at least fifty years more technical depth than we do!”

Technology is the field where disparities are most palpably felt. These technologies, in Shen Yu’s interstellar world, were already considered obsolete relics. Yet here, they still far surpassed current advancements.

Theoretically, no nation or faction in this era could produce anything like this—unless they had stumbled upon alien or future technology.

“Besides the technologies themselves, we found something else,” another scientist interjected. “The documents show clear signs of translation. Some terms are understandable but differ from the common jargon used in our scientific community. However, the translation is exceptionally precise, with complex terms thoroughly annotated.”

It was unsurprising that they noticed this. The language in Shen Yu’s interstellar world differed from this one. Although personal terminals had powerful AI translation capabilities, translation always fell short of capturing the original essence perfectly, especially with limited data.

On the other side of the video call, the other party fell into deep thought.

These two points alone were enough to reveal the profound significance of this sudden “gift.”

Not to mention its potential impact.

Reports had already stated that any one of these technologies could revolutionize the era.

The high-explosive warhead materials would greatly enhance the destructive power of individual firearms; high-energy batteries held the promise of sparking an energy revolution; and the last, the swarm of nanomachines for reconnaissance, would transform small-scale combat scouting, even enabling a “god’s-eye view” on the battlefield.

“We must contact the source of these materials!” the leadership finally issued a resolute directive. “Maintain a friendly approach and spare no effort to win them over.”

It was easy to imagine that if this news leaked, every power around the world would go into a frenzy.

At this critical moment, humanity needed this kind of breakthrough technology more than ever before.

Only those who truly understood the crisis grasped how dire the situation was.

Yet, just as this order was given, the heavily guarded phone, secured under all-around secrecy, suddenly rang.

Instantly, all insiders’ attention was drawn.

The new message was, astonishingly, an invitation!

[You are cordially invited, Mr. Huang Jingrong, to gather at the Haitan Building, Shen Group Co., Ltd., at six o’clock this evening.]

“It seems the sender has no intention of hiding,” Huang Jingrong was the first to speak, a note of joy in his expression. “I’ve heard of the Shen Group in Linhai City. They’re renowned philanthropists, and their founder is quite young.”

The others quickly caught on.

“This is good news, very good.”

“Jingrong, return immediately to Linhai City and prepare. We will await updates at the earliest opportunity.”

“Investigate Shen Group discreetly and gently. Avoid any actions that might hinder future contact.”

“...”

Though they had suspected this possibility, no one could suppress their excitement at how the situation was unfolding.

It was already known that the other party possessed unparalleled, era-defying internet technology. If they had to search for them themselves, it would consume massive time and energy.

But time was the scarcest resource for this nation, for all human civilization.

They desperately needed a miracle—especially one appearing before their very eyes.

The gravity of the situation was beyond words. Under military escort, Huang Jingrong returned to Linhai City without delay.

Meanwhile, intelligence investigations related to the Shen Group moved swiftly.

The other side made no effort to conceal anything, boldly sending the invitation in the company’s name.

By the time Huang Jingrong neared his destination, a detailed investigative report was already in his hands.

“The founder is only twenty-six? At seventeen, he was involved in a car accident and remained comatose for a year. Shortly after waking, he went abroad, quickly earned his first fortune, and started with international logistics and material trade, rapidly growing his enterprise...”

Huang Jingrong could hardly hide his astonishment as he read the report.

In the past, he might have simply admired the ambition and fortune of a young entrepreneur.

But now, everything seemed shrouded in mystery.

Especially when he saw that Shen Group had delved deeply into the medical industry, achieving tangible results in treating several major diseases within a short span.

Yet, recalling those three sets of technical data, he felt all this was still too conservative.

Merely the hacker-like internet technology akin to a god’s power could have turned a company into a giant in a short time.

Not to mention eight years.

Perhaps the message wasn’t sent by the young man named Shen Yu himself but by an acquaintance?

Regardless, the act of extending this invitation demonstrated a remarkable sincerity.

It was also their stroke of luck.

“Let’s go,” Huang Jingrong said, gazing at the building before him. He took a deep breath, adjusted his attire, and stepped out with his secretary, Xiao Xu, and four security personnel.

The building was not owned by Shen Yu but rented by him.

Several companies operated within.

Employees passing by widened their eyes upon seeing Huang Jingrong.

In Linhai City, no one’s reputation was greater at the moment than this man—the head of the Meteor Crisis Response Department, who had appeared frequently on television just yesterday.
