"Before that, we have also discussed the matter of our cooperation.
Except for a few old fellows who have some superficial insights, we really have nothing else to offer. If you want to establish a cooperative relationship with us regarding these non-Blue Star products, we..."
"Heh heh, to be honest with you, I also have two military organizations from before the apocalypse. If you want to continue researching these, you must be incorporated by us. The research results will belong to Wuming City. As for the various supplies you need, Wuming City can also allocate them to you regularly and quantitatively," Lu Heng interrupted their thoughts and stated his conditions.
"The things I have will ultimately depend on how much you can decipher and research them, but I believe those things will definitely bring about a huge leap in technology for Blue Star."
The researchers on the opposite side suddenly fell silent. Although what Lu Heng brought out was too attractive to them, they truly couldn't make the decision here. Moreover, after serving the country for so many years, they had never thought that their scientific research achievements would eventually belong to an individual, not the country.
However, Liu Guodong finally made a decision. The current situation of the base was not too optimistic. It was indeed as Lu Heng said; their overall strength was too weak, and they were already struggling to cope with the zombies outside.
Not to mention the heavy burden within the entire base. The older researchers here were now somewhat idle every day. Their previous research topics had no place to be used, and some people had even shown various negative emotions during a period of time.
"I will make the decision for the base. We agree to be incorporated into Wuming City's establishment. However, I would also like to mention that if the country is restored one day, we will still bring these research results back to the country." Although Liu Guodong was also from a research background, after participating in the management of the base for several years, he had gradually adapted to administrative work.
"What you're saying might not happen for a while. You really should go out more and see some places," Lu Heng was referring to the restoration of the original country. Seeing the current phenomenon of various factions occupying territories outside, Lu Heng felt that if a country were to be re-established in the future, it would be a federal republic.
"Aren't people from our country still managing things outside? The people haven't changed, so the country won't fall," Liu Guodong still insisted on his view at this moment.
"Alright, I'll tell you this too. If what you say can really be restored, I promise to share these research results with the country, but the premise is that it must be the original national system."
Lu Heng did not want a situation where, in the future, various small countries jointly managed things, and someone among them suddenly had a whim or for some purpose, shared the hard-won research results from here with them.
"Okay, then let's proceed as you said for now. We will be incorporated into your Wuming City, and as long as the country has not been restored to its former state, all research results here will belong to Wuming City and you."
Liu Guodong actually understood in his heart that the so-called future research results they had been debating for so long ultimately depended on having items and materials to supply their research. These were currently provided by Lu Heng. Logically speaking, the results derived from these items should belong to Lu Heng personally without any problem. They were just finding it difficult to overcome the sentiment of having dedicated half their lives to their work.
"I will not sign any agreements with you. I'm stating the unpleasant truth upfront: if anyone breaches the contract, the final outcome will be like this table in front of you."
With a boom, Lu Heng directly smashed the large conference table in front of him with a palm strike, startling everyone present and making them break out in a cold sweat.
"Do you still have any personnel outside who haven't returned?"
"No, no more." The personnel of their base did not go out to search for supplies every day, after all, their overall combat strength could no longer keep up with the evolution of the zombies outside.
"Alright, gather all the personnel. The equipment and supplies that can be taken away, I can also help you take them. You just need to show me around."
"We're leaving here?" Zhang Ting only then realized that Lu Heng intended to have all the personnel here evacuated. However, judging from the current situation, this base was still very safe, and there was no need for them to abandon it.
"It's too inconvenient here. I said I would provide you with supplies, but supplies cannot be delivered here from a long distance, and there will be many uncertain factors on the road."
Moreover, it was safer to keep people under his own watch. This way, under the pressure of Wuming City, these people would not cause any trouble. However, Lu Heng did not say these later thoughts.
"Then we're moving to your Wuming City? There are too many things to move from here, and I'm afraid it will take some time, and there are quite a few people." Liu Guodong looked at the shattered conference table on the ground, still with lingering fear.
"You don't need to worry about this. You just need to do as I say."
After hearing this, Liu Guodong then instructed Zhang Ting to gather everyone. As for the supplies that needed to be moved, apart from personal belongings, Lu Heng said he could help them pack all other supplies.
Lu Heng was led by Liu Guodong, and they first went to the place where the research equipment was stored. Looking at the various items piled up in the room, Lu Heng also frowned. It seemed that scientists were all the same everywhere.
With a wave of his hand, all the items in the room were cleared, and the room had now become a spacious empty space.
"This? How did you do that?" Although Liu Guodong had seen Lu Heng collect items out of thin air several times, Lu Heng had always dismissed him by saying it was magic.
"There is a type of item that comes from another world. You can also research this in the future. That thing can store items, but it cannot store living beings."
Lu Heng said, and then handed a storage bag to Liu Guodong. "This is the most basic model, called a storage bag, but it can only store a limited amount of things. It's for you. You can put some of your favorite personal belongings in it."
Liu Guodong took the bag and examined it carefully. "How do I use this?"
"You just need to think about putting the item you want to store in front of you into the bag, and they will enter the bag. Of course, if you lose this bag, whoever finds it can open and use it."
"Oh, then I'll try it in my room later." In fact, he had quite a lot of personal belongings. When Lu Heng said they were moving, he was still hesitating about whether to leave those things behind. With this, he might be able to help a few other old friends pack some things later.
