“Tank? There are tanks near this town?” Wang Lao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as if he had just realized something.

“Yeah, who knows where Ilya got the T-80 main battle tank from? It’s quite interesting, to be honest,” Zhou Chao rubbed his arms, oblivious to Wang Lao’s changing expression.

“I didn’t expect you to enjoy playing with these things!” Wang Lao’s expression returned to normal, smiling as he looked at Zhou Chao.

“Of course, every man likes it. It’s just a pity that opportunities like this are so rare,” Zhou Chao sighed, feeling a bit nostalgic. If only he could fire some real rounds while driving a tank, that would be truly exhilarating.

Wang Lao seemed to sense Zhou Chao’s lingering regret. “If you like it, when you return to the country, I’ll put in a word. We can find a nearby camp for you to play around in!”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao’s fatigue seemed to disappear. He looked at Wang Lao excitedly, “Wang Lao, I’m not joking, I’m serious about this. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll hold you responsible.”

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problem. Besides, if you really want to play, just tell Xiao Lao directly!”

Wang Lao knew that if Zhou Chao mentioned it to Xiao Lao, it would be as good as done. However, Zhou Chao didn’t want to use that privilege; he preferred to follow the proper procedures.

“Wang Lao, this would be a mistake, I absolutely won’t do it!”

“Hinph, I know what you’re thinking. You’re just afraid of others gossiping and catching onto Xiao Lao’s tail. Your plans aren’t bold enough!” Wang Lao gave Zhou Chao a stern look, acknowledging his cunning nature but also highlighting his astuteness in such matters.

“But don’t forget the contributions you’ve made. With just one of your moves, you can walk away with swagger. As long as you don’t make any fundamental mistakes, no one can touch you!”

At this point, Zhou Chao remembered the previously submitted technology on controlled nuclear fusion. He thought about bringing it up but reconsidered. Even though everyone present, including Wen Bin, Lin Wu, and Chen Nan, were on his side, the matter of controlled nuclear fusion was too important to discuss casually.

Wen Bin couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked, “Mr. Zhou, have you made any significant contributions?”

Wang Lao’s formerly gentle expression turned somewhat serious. “Wen, some things are better left unsaid. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!”

Wen Bin’s heart sank; he knew he had made a mistake by speaking out of turn.

“I’m sorry, Wang Lao, I was just curious!” Wen Bin quickly apologized.

“No more of this in the future!” Wang Lao didn’t really want to blame him. After all, he knew Wen Bin was his protege and was just naturally curious.

“Ah~” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but yawn.

“Wang Lao, you guys carry on, I’m going back to my room to rest!”

“Alright, get some rest!”

Zhou Chao got up and headed upstairs, but halfway there, he stopped and turned to Wang Lao. “Wang Lao, I plan to return to Jingdu tomorrow. You’ll have to take care of things here. I’ll have Lin Wu stay here to assist you.”

Wang Lao paused for a moment when he heard this, but quickly understood. “I got it. Don’t worry, the country won’t let you down!”

“Alright, I’m going to bed. You all should rest early too!” Zhou Chao yawned again, quickening his pace upstairs.

Watching Zhou Chao’s disappearing figure, Wang Lao murmured to himself, “Looks like I really underestimated him!”
