AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 95
by VolareRuan Tang slept for a long time, but because of Auston’s condition, it wasn’t a very restful sleep.
After waking up and washing up, when the logistics robot delivered his breakfast.
Ruan Tang was immediately stunned, and politely declined, “I know the food supply in the army is limited. I can just eat nutrient solution like everyone else. There’s no need to make an exception for me. Giving me an extra breakfast, please take it back.”
Living in Imperial Star was one thing, but now that he had come to the border, Ruan Tang planned to abide by the rules of the border.
The small amount of fresh food in the army was limited to high-ranking officers. He was just accompanying the army and had made no contribution to the army, so even if he was the legion commander’s partner, he was not qualified to enjoy preferential treatment.
Ruan Tang was very clear about this.
“This breakfast is for the legion commander. No one is making an exception, and no one is giving you an extra portion,” the robot replied very honestly.
Ruan Tang was immediately stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “Then what does the legion commander eat?”
“He ate nutrient solution and asked me to bring the breakfast to you,” the robot replied truthfully.
Ruan Tang didn’t say anything after hearing this, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upwards: “Then thank the legion commander for me.”
Looking at the breakfast, Ruan Tang couldn’t help but think to himself, this Alpha looks so cold on the surface, but he’s actually lost his memory, and his personality hasn’t changed at all, he’s still so tsundere, so adorable…
The simple breakfast at the border couldn’t compare with that of Imperial Star, but Ruan Tang felt inexplicably sweet eating it.
He knew that this Alpha had been interested in him from the very beginning.
…
After breakfast, Ruan Tang took the initiative to offer to help in the military industrial department.
Although Gemini Fortress was a border area, fresh food and other material supplies were limited, the military research and development department had to resist the Zerg all year round, so although it was not comparable to the First Research Institute, it was also at a cutting-edge level.
The entire military industrial department had more than a thousand researchers.
Everyone was busy like tireless worker ants.
“Chairman Ruan, welcome, welcome, welcome to our military industrial department for guidance,” as soon as Ruan Tang arrived, the person in charge of the military industrial department immediately greeted him with a smile.
Ruan Tang immediately said shyly: “Guidance is out of the question, I’m here to exchange ideas and learn with everyone.”
“Please sit down first, I’ll pour you some hot water,” the person in charge was very attentive to Ruan Tang, showing meticulous care.
But all day long, nothing substantive was assigned to Ruan Tang to do, and when Ruan Tang wanted to talk to other people, the researchers were also very enthusiastic in responding to him, but they never asked Ruan Tang about specific matters, and just focused on doing their own things…
Seeing them like this, Ruan Tang assumed they were busy and didn’t want to disturb them.
Ruan Tang used to work in this field himself, so he could understand the state of being so absorbed in research that one forgot everything else. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
Until the next day, the person in charge was still dealing with him like this.
As if he, the advanced data specialist from Imperial Star, was a mere figurehead.
Ruan Tang, having nothing to do, was on his fifth trip to the toilet in the fortress military industrial building when.
He overheard several researchers discussing him.
“Hey, what’s going on? Didn’t the higher-ups say that we should ask Imperial Star for technical support regarding the speed modification of heavy armor and the circuit board problem? Isn’t our current legion commander a member of the royal family? And they just send us this Omega?” Someone started.
Immediately following, he heard another researcher beside him sneer disdainfully: “It’s precisely because he’s a member of the royal family that he’s unreliable. Do you know who the expert we invited is? It’s our legion commander’s husband.”
“It’s really funny. We’re working diligently to research military industrial things to resist the Zerg! He said nicely that he could get us any technical support we wanted, but in the end, he sent his own husband here to gild his resume. These nobles who eat people and don’t spit out bones are all bad,” another person said sarcastically.
The person who spoke first immediately exclaimed in surprise: “Really? I heard that this legion commander leaves early and returns late, and works very hard in the army every day. I thought he was a good one, different from other members of the royal family. I didn’t expect him to do this kind of thing…”
“Don’t say that. This husband of his has a brilliant resume. Not only did he graduate from the Imperial Royal Engineering Academy, but he also worked in the First Research Institute and participated in the research of the Alligator Tooth Sword Cannon and the C902 project. He even has an advanced data specialist certificate. It’s reasonable for our legion commander to shove him in here…” The person who spoke was talking about Ruan Tang’s brilliant resume, but there was no praise in his words, only sarcasm.
“An Omega with such a brilliant resume at such a young age, hahaha, that’s hilarious. Who doesn’t know that their academies in Imperial Star are all places where nobles can spend money to get their Omega’s gilded… I just didn’t expect that even the First Research Institute and the qualification certificate exams are corrupt, degenerating to this extent…”
Because he had been introduced by the person in charge yesterday, Ruan Tang vaguely identified these people as core elite researchers in the military industrial department based on their voices.
When Ruan Tang heard this, he finally realized what the researchers in the fortress military industrial department thought of him. He was stunned on the spot, considering how he should break the situation at this moment.
Just then, the few people came out of the toilet, only to bump into Ruan Tang, who was just about to leave.
The scene became extremely awkward. The few people immediately gave Ruan Tang an awkward smile and said, “Dr. Ruan, what a coincidence…”
“I came to use the toilet.” Ruan Tang was expressionless, as if nothing had happened. He nodded to them and went straight into the toilet.
Although these people had spoken ill of him behind his back, they were all elite talents who had been stationed at the border for many years, meritorious servants of the empire.
In a place like the border, even Auston didn’t dare to act crazy and throw his weight around at will. Ruan Tang believed that he was even less qualified to use his power to suppress others, so he just treated everything as if it were nonexistent.
“Hey, what should we do? Do you think he heard us just now?” Seeing Ruan Tang enter the toilet, the few people looked at each other. One of the timid ones immediately asked nervously.
Galileo, the deputy head of the military industrial department’s scientific research personnel, sneered disdainfully: “What are you afraid of? Aren’t we telling the truth?”
“We are the ones who defend our country at the border and dedicate everything to the fortress military industry! What have these royal nobles done to defend the empire? They get all the credit and glory, and we’re not even allowed to discuss it in private and vent our emotions?” What he hated most was this kind of noble who came to the border to gild their resume.
Their deeds of defending the country and paying blood and sweat became the capital for these people to brag and publicize after they returned.
After Ruan Tang finished using the toilet and returned, he didn’t mention a word. He just silently observed the work processes of the various researchers in the institute. Everyone treated him as if he was there to waste time and ignored him, each busy with their own work.
Ruan Tang walked past many people’s workstations and left silently, only stopping beside one of the researchers who had discussed him in the toilet: “Wait, don’t rush to continue.”
“Dr. Ruan, is there anything I can do for you? My work is very urgent and can’t be delayed in the slightest…” The researcher thought that Ruan Tang had come to get back at him for the toilet incident. He was respectful on the surface, but his dissatisfaction with Ruan Tang was even greater in his heart.
“It’ll only take you half a minute. I think there’s something wrong with this.” Ruan Tang tried his best to be humble and said, “You’d better recalculate it, otherwise you’re likely to make a mistake if you continue, and you’ll have to start all over again.”
The researcher frowned slightly when he heard Ruan Tang telling him to recalculate. He thought that Ruan Tang was deliberately causing trouble and wasting his time. He tried his best to suppress his irritability.
“What’s wrong that needs to be recalculated? I don’t see any problems!” Just then, Galileo, the deputy person in charge, walked over. He thought that Ruan Tang was here to pick a fight. He glanced at the researcher’s optical brain and raised his eyebrows, looking at Ruan Tang extremely protectively: “Dr. Ruan is an expert from Imperial Star. You actually think that Little Liu’s data has problems. Please, don’t be stingy and point out the errors in these problems…”
“If you can’t find them, our military industrial department doesn’t have the leisure to withstand repeated recalculations by experts like you. We can’t afford to support a great Buddha like you. Please leave the military industrial department,” Galileo felt that he had offended Ruan Tang very much, so he simply tore through the pretense and directly expressed his disdain for so-called elites like Ruan Tang.
The person in charge rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing that Galileo, the troublemaker, was actually arguing with Ruan Tang, he immediately said to Ruan Tang in a gentle voice: “Chairman Ruan, what’s going on? What is this? If you have nothing to do, don’t wander around in the research area. Let’s go back and rest. I’ll pour you a cup of tea…”
“Galileo, what’s wrong with you? If Chairman Ruan tells you to recalculate, then recalculate! Why are you arguing! Hurry up and apologize to Chairman Ruan,” the person in charge gave Galileo a look to tell him to apologize, and then said to Ruan Tang, “I’m sorry, Chairman Ruan. The young people are ignorant and rash. I’ll have him apologize to you right away…”
The group of wild scientific research personnel in the fortress military industrial department were like a group of bear children, very resistant and exclusive to the Imperial Star nobles. The person in charge was caught in the middle and needed to constantly mediate and ease their relationship with the Imperial Star military department, just like an old nanny with a group of bear children, constantly trying to please everyone and apologize everywhere, but still thankless.
This time, Galileo just refused to give him face. He sneered at Ruan Tang and said, “I won’t apologize. Time is so tight. My team members can’t withstand experts repeatedly asking them to redo things… Lao Zhang, Zhang William, if you protect him today, then let me go. I can’t stand this shit!”
“Galileo. Yang, how are you talking! Chairman Ruan, I’m sorry, he just has this bad temper…” The person in charge, Zhang William, was so anxious that he was about to get angry looking at him like this.
Seeing this, Ruan Tang smiled good-naturedly: “It’s nothing, I think Lieutenant Colonel Galileo has a pretty good temper, straightforward.”
“Scientific research personnel pay attention to strength, not resume… It’s also normal for him to protect his team members as a team leader…”
Zhang William immediately smiled apologetically: “It’s great that you can understand.”
Galileo sneered rebelliously when he heard this, feeling that Ruan Tang was pretending to be tolerant and generous, pretending to be a good person.
“However, there really is a problem with Researcher Liu’s data. Since you want to hear me say it, I’ll tell you and recalculate it for you, how about that?” Ruan Tang asked with a smile.
Without saying a word, Galileo directly enlarged Little Liu’s optical brain countless times and presented it in front of Ruan Tang, making a gesture of invitation to him: “You’d better be able to explain it clearly!”
He glanced at it and didn’t find anything wrong with Little Liu’s calculation data at all, and he wanted to see how this Imperial Star expert could cause trouble for them.
