Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 536 - 57: The Last Data Set_5
He suddenly snapped awake.
With a few swift motions, he got dressed and walked out of the tent—this was his special intuition, which had saved his life countless times.
At this moment.
Outside was utterly silent.
Aside from the chirping of insects and the sound of the wind, there was no other sign of life.
However...
By the light of the nearby campfire, he could vaguely see what seemed to be a shadow moving at the edge of the minefield.
His eyes narrowed in focus—
"Give me the flashlight."
The warrior on patrol beside him quickly handed over the flashlight, and as he strode closer and turned it on—
Three small, mud-covered old men were still at the edge, blind-writing data in their notebooks by the barely visible moonlight.
The comprehensive feedback data etched in their minds formed a pattern for each of them, and now gathered together, though they dared not speak, they were already seeing the dawn.
Inwardly, they sighed in unison—
[Whoever came up with such a design is a genius. The real data requirements are far greater than those of standard instruments, yet the accuracy can reach 100%!]
The most terrifying aspect is that this approach can not only be applied to this instrument named infrared, which incorporates more than just infrared technology.
The three were ecstatic, as if they had pioneered a new research direction!
At this moment, a sudden beam of white light shone over.
The three dirty-faced researchers froze.
Shi Suifeng’s face was stern.
"Professors, what are you doing here? It’s dangerous."
Professor Zheng knew well the inflexible nature of Shi Suifeng.
If it were anything else, he might bluff his way through, buying some time.
But with Shi Suifeng there, there was no question about it.
Without a word, he crawled forward by two more steps:
"I’m just short of this last set of data!"
At this moment, the incomplete part of the component in his hand suddenly emitted a sharp beeping sound!
[Beep beep beep!]
Professor Zheng froze.
The next moment.
His whole world spun, and an intense booming sound struck down with soil and wild grass, pounding him heavily.
The deafening explosion ahead made him instinctively shut his eyes.
His body felt burdened.
Looking up, Shi Suifeng was lying on top of him.
A trickle of red blood quietly flowed down Shi Suifeng’s smooth forehead along his hairline.
The next moment, a band of soldiers rushed over with a flurry of hands and feet, hastily dragging him aside.
"Medic! Quickly!"
Professor Zheng’s legs almost gave out.
Being a lab researcher, how could he have seen such a real and devastating scene before?
He hurriedly asked, "How is he?!"
Such a good young man, nothing must happen to him!
The medic arrived swiftly, and upon examining the welts on Shi Suifeng’s back, he checked the rest of his body, and after a long time, let out a sigh of relief.
"No internal organs were damaged."
But the area of blood loss in other parts of his body was still too large.
No one around blamed them, but the three old professors felt their hearts and faces burn with shame.
At this time, the flustered Professor Zheng hurriedly opened his notebook in the light of the floodlight!
He lay on the ground, correcting the previously blindly-written data one by one.
At the same time, he called to the other two: "Quick! We’ve got the last set! Data compilation!"
Upon hearing this, the two professors wasted no time throwing aside their dignity, lying down next to him.
The three gathered together, merging all the data into lines of pathways.
No one knew how much time passed, but daylight had already broken.
Shi Suifeng had completed emergency treatment and was sent to the nearby military hospital.
A new person who had spoken to him on the vehicle replaced the one in front of him.
Professor Zheng held his hand.
"Delay for another two hours!"
It was now 7:30 in the morning.
The warriors preparing for the battlefield were ready to go.
Professor Zheng held tightly to his hand.
"Delay for another two hours!"
"With the data just collected, our infrared detection device is almost ready!"
"By then, there’d be no need for everyone to risk their lives!"
He spoke so earnestly, yet the person in charge dared not completely believe him, as the heroic resolve of the warriors to face death should not be underestimated.
The person in charge hesitated, glancing at the fully-prepared troops and finally made a decision with gritted teeth:
"Alright."
"9:30!"
"That’s the only time we have; the mission deadline we’ve given is by noon today!"
Soldiers adhere to orders as their supreme duty; completing missions is their basic commitment.
Professor Zheng abruptly let go, slowly smiling.
"Relax! Captain Shi protected me, ensuring this old body didn’t break in the minefield. Now, I’m confident his soldiers will return safely and intact!"
