The car left the airport and headed towards the urban Lost City area at the edge of Beijing.

That was where the Beijing Military District and the headquarters of the Military Department were located. It was a very mysterious place.

Guo Miao probably knew who was looking for her.

The car drove past a building guarded by soldiers and shuttled through the buildings that were surrounded by electric fences. Finally, it stopped beside an old two-story building.

Li Zai got out of the car and opened the door for Guo Miao.

When she got down, she saw doors and windows decorated with vines. There was a plaque on the ancient mahogany door. On the plaque were written the words “Nation’s Most Important Weapon”.

This should be the most important research base of the military department, the military center.

“Please.” Li Zai used his card to open the door to the research institute.

Guo Miao walked into the quaint building. It wasn’t the kind of research institute that was full of mechanical elements and cold manufacturing lines that she had imagined.

The interior of the military center looked like a small villa. It did not have that impersonal feeling.

“I’ll take you to Sir Chen,” Li Zai said.

Sir Chen was Chen Yan, the liaison officer of the military center. He was the one who had spoken to Guo Miao about working together.

Guo Miao nodded and followed Li Zai into a small room that looked simple and elegant.

There was mahogany furniture, a green retro table lamp, and two porcelain vats on the coffee table. Chen Yan was sitting with another man in a military uniform.

The man in the military uniform was the current Commander in Chief of the army, Li Liang.

Li Liang was almost fifty years old, but he had an extraordinary temperament. His back was straight, and he had the dignity of a soldier.

“Hello, Miss Guo.” When Li Liang saw Guo Miao enter, he stood up with Chen

Yan and reached out to her hand. “I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Guo Miao nodded and gripped Li Liang’s hand. “Hello, Commander Li.”

“You know me?” Li Liang asked with a smile.

Guo Miao obviously knew Li Liang. Ever since this military minister took office, the Chinese army had been developing faster and faster, and all kinds of weapons had emerged in an endless stream. He had won numerous awards in international military exercises.

In his early years, he was a famous special forces soldier who had achieved countless military merits in missions both domestically and abroad.

“Well, let’s just say I’ve heard a lot about you,” Guo Miao said with a smile.

The three sat down.

“Thank you for your hard work in Fog City. Fortunately, Commander Li told me in advance to send someone to protect you,” Chen Yan said.

Li Liang had sent Li Zai to protect Guo Miao.

Although Guo Miao had expected the military to send someone over, she didn’t expect it to be the commander.

“Thank you for helping me make arrangements despite your busy schedule, Commander Li,” Guo Miao said.

“Miss Guo, you’re welcome. The supercomputer you developed has helped the Chinese military achieve excellent results.” Li Liang sized up Guo Miao.

It was hard to imagine that the system developed by this 18-year-old girl in front of them had helped them make great contributions on the international battlefield.

“The organization is prepared to give you first-class merit, but due to some other restrictions, we may only be able to let you be an official research assistant for the time being,” Li Liang said.

Research assistant?

Li Zai stood at the door, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg.

Even a research assistant needed at least five years of research experience and five research patents, but Guo Miao was promoted because of this computer system.

Moreover, Li Liang didn’t use the wording to make an exception and promote her. Instead, he said that he could only do it for the time being.

Guo Miao’s ability was indeed much more impressive than he had imagined. As soon as she returned to China, she was met by a leader of Li Liang’s level and was even promoted.

“I want to focus on the military in the future,” Guo Miao said.

“The military?” Li Liang and Chen Yan looked at each other. “Do you want to study some basic military facilities and weapons?”

The various military facilities of the Beijing Military Region were almost the most complete in the world. Recently, the researchers of the Military Research Institute were also looking for a way to break through, but it seemed that they had reached the upper limit..
