"Haha…We are on the same team now . Many people back home want me to fail, so please don't disappoint me . " Syracuse said hopefully . Wang Tong nodded and then saw the GN weapon specialist Syracuse was talking about . The specialist was of the same age as Wang Tong, but that was not where their similarity ended, as their names also struck a resemblance: his name was Wang Tung .
Wang Tung was wearing a stained lab coat; dark circles haunted around his eyes, and below his eyes was a full set of unruly beard . He went straight to the point as soon as he started talking to Wang Tong .
"In my humble opinion, I could comprehend the theory in my mind, but unable to describe it in any meaningful sentences . It's rather easy to understand, you see? Allow me to explain it to you . The amplification coefficient of the crystal was in linear correlation with that of the humans' GN force . This correlation allowed the two to establish a certain kind of synchronization, which will, in turn, construct a force matrix . This force matrix was not very hard to reproduce on an individual basis, but it was nearly impossible to…"
"To mass produce . Yea, yea, I know all of that . " Wang Tong cut Wang Tung short .
"You have heard of the force matrix?" Wang Tung asked incredulously . He had never thought that anyone other than himself would have such a firm grasp on the secret weapon of the Kaedeians .
"Yes . You must have heard of those special crystals . They work on the same principle . Loading mastery spells into the energy crystal was the same process as that of loading GN force . They also face the exact same problem: mass production . "
"Hold on a second . How could you load a spell?" Wang Tung asked attentively .
"First of all, I am a mastery caster . Secondly, I have an ability called the Soul Scan . "
Wang Tung paused again while he chewed on the answer . The quietness inside the room unnerved Syracuse, who was standing outside and having a cup of coffee . He trusted the skill of Wang Tung as a weapon expert, but he was less sure about his temperament . 'May the Gods be good to him and refrain him from starting an argument with Wang Tong . ' Syracuse still wanted him alive before he had solved the technical difficulties for him .
Worried and curious, Syracuse cracked open the door and peeked through a slit . He needed to be very careful as Wang Tong was his most valued client right now .
There were no arguments or fights; instead, he saw a crystal gun laid on the ground, while Wang Tong was conducting a soul scan on it . Syracuse watched as Wang Tong channeled out his soul energy and pointed the finger at the forehead of Wang Tung, connecting their sea of consciousness . This way, Wang Tung was able to see exactly what Wang Tong was viewing underneath the surface of the crystal gun .
As Wang Tong started the soul scan . Wang Tung was lost in the intricate patterns of energy inside the crystal gun, while he had completely forgotten about the Wang Tong's incredible control over his power .
After a while, Wang Tung drew a large gulp of air and pulled his mind back into reality . He shot Wang Tong an admiring glance and then said, "I got it!"
Wang Tong grimaced . "I understand what the problem is just like you did, but I have no idea how to fix it . "
"I have brought my lab with me . I won't leave Maersa until I figure out a satisfactory solution for you!"
Wang Tung's determination reminded Wang Tong of his soldiers before they walked into a battle of life and death . Wang Tong had given him a problem, and now it was his turn to find the answer .
Without sparing any more words to his host, Wang Tung turned around and started to unpack his lab equipment . All the while, he murmured to himself as if Wang Tong was not there .
Wang Tong backed out of the room quietly, but as soon as he went through the threshold, he was stopped by Syracuse .
"How did it go?"
"Good! I need this man . "
"No way! He works for my family; he can't stay here . My father is going to kill me if he finds out . " Wang Tong didn't speak; instead, he stared at Syracuse with a searing glare until the latter's hair stood on their ends .
"Don't…Don't look at me like that! Fine, fine! I will let him stay here . But, be quiet about it! I am taking a huge risk in doing this . "
"If he succeeds, your family would have the rights to the pattern . "Wang Tong said plainly .
"I want fifty-fifty . " Syracuse's face became serious as soon as he started to talk about business .
"Ten and ninety!" Wang Tong's expression didn't change, but his counteroffer had startled Syracuse . This was outright blackmailing!
"Are you kidding me? Even if we were able to mass-produce the weapon, I can't survive on just ten percent! I have employees, and they all have families to feed . What about thirty and seventy?"
"I meant ten percent for me, and you get the ninety percent . " Wang Tong explained .
Syracuse was shocked again . He took out a cigar and lit it in between his lips as he took time to ponder what exactly Wang Tong was after . He knew that Wang Tong's too-good-to-be-true offer must come with a caveat .
"What do you want?" Syracuse asked .
"I want only one thing: you need to sell it as cheap as possible so that all human forces can use them . The final battle is near…We need to hurry . "
"Stopping bluffing me! The situation on Mars is very stable . It is true that we are not able to push the Zergs back right now, but it's not as bad as you make it sound . " Syracuse piped up .
"Both the Earth and the Moon have fallen under the Zergs' control, leaving Mars the last bastion of human civilization . If the humans on Mars fail to turn the situation around soon, only death awaits them when the Zergs finally join the forces . Perhaps, the human resistance on Mars will not even last that long . The dark lord hasn't even revealed one-tenth of his real military might to the humans, since he is still waiting for the completion of his master plan . "
"What plan?" Syracuse asked curiously .
"Perhaps there are still people out there hoping that the struggle between Moye and Patroclus would provide a turning point for the human to strike back . I call them delusional dreamers! The Zerg that had burrowed into Patroclus's chest was the Zerg's highest commander, the Mother Supreme .
Therefore, the conflict between Patroclus and Moye would never escalate any further . Moye's plan right now was to improve the abilities of his dark ones using human as a practice target . If he wanted to, he could raise an army big enough to overwhelm the entire planet . "
"You mean, Moye is using us humans to level up his soldiers in order to prepare for his final showdown with Patroclus?"
"It's a competition between two of the evolution branches . To the Zergs, only two things really matter… evolution and the destruction of the others . The general direction of their evolution train was already set, which was to evolve closer to a human . However, somewhere along the line, the original path forked into two branches . But in the end, only one branch can be adopted by the Zergs . This war is no longer between the humans and the Zergs . It is a war among the humans, immortals, and the dark ones . So far, the humans have been the weakest of the three parties . "
"What makes it even worse for the humans is that some of us still haven't realized how bad their situation has gotten . " Syracuse puffed a cloud of smoke and then said . Wang Tong's words had rendered him at a loss . Truth to be told, humans on Mars lived a much more comfortable life than their earth and moon counterparts . Over time, they came to believe that there was something special about themselves that had made them thrive during the crisis . However, their wishful thinking was far from the truth . As the weakest of the three parties, both the other two factions had treated the humans like a practice target . So much so, that Moye didn't even want to spend his best soldiers on them, as he had deemed the humans unworthy .
"I see where you are coming from . I can try to talk to my old man back home . But, I doubt his old mind will accept your idea . " Syracuse announced .
Although Syracuse was a businessman, he was a citizen of Mars first . At that end, he knew very well where his duty lied .
Wang Tong cracked a smile . "Let's focus on the Energy crystal gun first . If we are able to achieve mass production, we will be able to increase the number of human soldiers by a few folds . "
"As soon as our friend finishes his research, I can help you contact more resourceful families . I assume that you don't mind House Lie joining our venture, do you?"
"Of course not!" Wang Tong nodded . "Meanwhile, I will try to create a perfect storm for the Zergs while we wait . "
"Haha, I will take you up on that . " Syracuse laughed . He wondered what kind of storm Wang Tong was brewing this time .
