Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 535 - 57: The Last Data Set_4
Professor Zheng couldn’t say a word.
——Yes, time waits for no one.
For farmers, what could be more important than having the whole family fed?
Delay...
If they delay one day today, tomorrow, impatient elders might come over personally.
Those who have never experienced famine will never understand the fear of hunger.
Moreover, even if there’s no rush to plant, such a vast wasteland, what if someone accidentally wanders in, or a child out of curiosity...
Thinking about it, everyone fell silent.
Professor Zheng’s stomach growled, and when he looked at his two old companions, they too looked pale.
After all, they were getting on in years.
He sat down in silence, opened his lunch box, and suddenly shouted:
"Eat!"
"Everyone eat!"
"This afternoon, no matter what, we must get to the bottom of the last bit!"
The three elderly men exchanged a glance, now clutching their lunch boxes, each chew seemed to be gnawing at the flesh of their sworn enemy.
The little warrior’s hiccups stopped, silently watching them, wiping tears, and trying hard to make no sound.
...
Unfortunately, many times.
Scientific achievements are not swayed by human will.
If they figure it out tonight, they could save countless lives tomorrow, but they just couldn’t solve the last bit.
Professor Zheng stood there, now looking at the nearly burnt-out white candle——
In this wilderness, running electrical wires was impossible, this was already the best setup.
Then looking outside, it was silent all around, the night sky vast and boundless.
This was also a safe area, aside from the watchers on both sides, the entire fenced-off hillside was ahead
At this moment.
Professor Zheng, holding the last set of unsolved experiment materials, made a sudden decision——
"We might be right all along, just missing the most crucial data."
This data is practice.
Landmines buried in the soil vary in location, depth, and condition. To achieve more than 99% detection rate with infrared sensing, precision is key.
Yet, they couldn’t grasp this condition.
Not only could they not reach this data, they couldn’t even reach 70%.
The last bit, they just couldn’t break through.
If given more time, Professor Zheng knew they could figure it out.
Just like in the nuclear base back then, where everyone used abacuses to calculate data.
But...
How long is a period of time?
Before this, he studied infrared detection for three years.
After being reassigned, although there was a pause, he often thought about it.
In the military district, he studied for more than a month.
Now, is there another month they could wait for him?
No one could guarantee a result in the next second.
Saying this now, the implication was clear.
The two yawning old men were taken aback:
"Old Zheng, are you crazy!"
What crucial data? Isn’t it just wanting to take a shortcut, to personally explore the minefield?
Professor Zheng suddenly turned back:
"Then what else?"
He pointed at his watch, lowered his voice and said:
"In another 4 hours, it will be dawn."
By then.
Will they watch in cold blood as those kids go to their deaths?
Upon hearing this, the two stopped speaking.
All of them were as young as their own children, watching with their eyes open as they went to the landmines...
Who could bear that?!
The two old men exchanged a glance, gritting their teeth simultaneously.
"Let’s go together!"
The amount of data to be collected was enormous. If Old Zheng was unlucky, he might not even collect it before...
Between the three of them, there was always a chance of success.
If not, piecing it together could save a lot of work for those who come after.
And if that infrared detection device could appear even one day sooner, perhaps fewer lives would be lost.
Old Zheng didn’t argue back, only murmured, "We can’t regret it now!"
The three old men exchanged a glance: "At our age, what’s there to regret, the only regret is not being a genius."
...
This area was closest to the restricted zone, originally the three elderly men didn’t intend anything, just thought being close would increase detection efficiency.
Now, it just happened to give them a chance.
There weren’t many patrollers at night, no one would suspect the three elderly scientists.
One of them used a little trick to silently open the tent from the back.
Then, the three scientific giants crawled slowly into the minefield like thieves.
Holding their breath and staying silent, they didn’t dare converse, each carrying a set of parts, slowly groping and crawling, meticulously noting various reactions in different areas... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Shi Suifeng suddenly woke up from his dream.
