Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

In 2020, Reiko Kashiwamura stated that there were too many good things to study.

After bringing the three large boxes containing shrunken humans out of the abandoned building and handing them over to Horii Masami to be temporarily housed at TPC headquarters, Gu Chen and his two companions, along with Munakata Seiichi and Nanase Rena, returned to the abandoned building to inspect the site.

When Munakata Seiichi saw the Crow People who had frozen to death in the low temperature all over the abandoned building, his expression became extremely solemn.

Shortly after, TPC's logistics personnel arrived at the scene by transport plane and began cleaning and tidying up the site.

However, to everyone's surprise, Reiko Kashiwamura and Megumi Iruma also came to the scene.

Upon seeing Reiko Kashiwamura arrive, Gu Chen was initially surprised, but then a smile appeared on his face as he went to greet her and said, "Director Kashiwamura, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Before Baicun Lingzi could say anything, Gu Chen continued, "But you've come at just the right time. There's something good waiting for Director Baicun here."

Reiko Kashiwamura was taken aback by Gu Chen's words and asked in confusion, "Good stuff? What good stuff?"

Gu Chen turned around, waved to Reiko Kashiwamura, and said as he walked, "Director Kashiwamura, please come with me."

Seeing this, Reiko Kashiwamura immediately followed.

A short while later, Gu Chen brought Bai Cunlingzi to the entrance of the Crow People's spaceship.

Looking at the passageway in front of her, so distinct from the style of the abandoned building, Reiko Kashiwamura's eyes widened in surprise once again.

Gu Chen's face lit up with a mischievous smile as he said, "Ta-da! Director Bai Cun, look, this is the spaceship the Crow People used when they infiltrated Earth."

“Unlike the space escape pod of the Reiculan aliens, the Crow aliens’ spaceship is in perfect working order. As long as Director Baicun’s Science and Technology Bureau deciphers the Crow aliens’ language, we can basically use this spaceship directly.”

"I think this is an invaluable treasure for TPC, and even for all of humanity, right?"

With that, Gu Chen led the way into the Crow People's spaceship.

Now, not only Reiko Kashiwamura, but even Megumi Kijima's face was filled with surprise.

Like Reiko Kashiwamura, she immediately followed Gu Chen into the Crow People's spaceship after regaining her senses, and then looked around.

If they weren't afraid that their random movements might trigger some device on the spaceship, Reiko Kashiwamura and Megumi Kijima would probably have already started working on it by now.

In that instant, both strong women realized the significance of this spaceship to human civilization.

Even from Reiko Kashiwamura's purely scientific perspective, one can derive a series of unimaginable benefits. If humanity can fully understand the technology contained in this spaceship, the technological power of human civilization will experience a qualitative leap.

Compared to Reiko Kashiwamura's purely scientific perspective, Megumi Kijima considered many more things, such as the international landscape, which might be altered by this spaceship.

Megumi couldn't say whether the change was good or bad, but it wasn't something she should worry about. She believed that Sawai Soichiro would handle the matter properly.

Thinking of this, Ju Jianhui immediately opened PDI and reported that Gu Chen and his group had obtained the Crowman spaceship intact.

Soon, this matter alarmed Sawai Soichiro.

It was late at night, and he was woken up just as he fell asleep. He then forced himself to get to the scene.

While waiting for Sawai Soichiro to arrive, Kashiwamura Reiko finally processed the large amount of information she had received that day. She then looked at Gu Chen with a complicated expression and said, "Advisor, I don't know whether I should thank you or blame you now."

"Do you know how busy our Science and Technology Bureau is right now?"

"If we add this spaceship to the mix, our science and technology bureau's holiday will probably have to be postponed until the year after next."

As she spoke, Reiko Kashiwamura unusually revealed a mournful expression.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen smiled mischievously and said, "Isn't this a good thing? The capable should do more work. There's a saying that goes, only those who don't contribute to society need to take a vacation."

"For the pillars of society like those in the Science and Technology Bureau led by Director Baicun, there's no need to say anything more about giving them holidays."

"But speaking of which, Director Kashiwamura, have you made any progress in your research on the barrier generator? If not, I can authorize you to conduct destructive research. Even if you break it, it doesn't matter. Although that thing can't be mass-produced in the Showa universe, small-scale popularization is no problem."

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Reiko Kashiwamura's eyes immediately turned resentful.

But the next second, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her expression returned to normal.

Then, she sighed and said, "The research on the barrier generator has reached a bottleneck. We appreciate the consultant's good intentions, but destructive research is unnecessary. After all, we are not confident that we can understand the barrier generator by conducting destructive research."

"Instead of doing that, it would be better to continue to study it slowly and patiently."

"Of course, that is, provided that you, the consultant, are not in a hurry to use it."

Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. The barrier generator is already obsolete for me. It wouldn't be a big deal to give it to your Science and Technology Bureau."

Reiko Kashiwamura was very grateful for Gu Chen's generosity, but at the same time felt somewhat powerless.

The barrier generator alone stumped a large number of outstanding scientists in their Science and Technology Bureau, and now they have heard that Gu Chen also has weapons and equipment from the Showa era Earth Defense Force.

Reiko Kashiwamura wanted to study them one by one, especially the fighter jet engines, but the current situation left her powerless to do so.

Previously, I felt there weren't many good projects, but now there are so many good projects that I'm completely overwhelmed.

Even if Reiko Kashiwamura had an immense passion for research, she still wanted to shout at Gu Chen, "Stop adding to our workload!"

Of course, Reiko Kashiwamura ultimately didn't say those words aloud.

As soon as Sawai Soichiro arrived at the scene, Gu Chen and the others immediately went to greet him and gave him a brief report on the spaceship and the battle with the Crow People.

It wasn't until dawn that the TPC transport team moved the Ravens' spaceships away from the scene, and the logistics department cleaned up the area thoroughly.

Because the incident did not cause much of a stir, the general public was unaware of what major events had occurred that night.

After that, just like in the original story, Masami Horii cracked the Crow People's shrinking ray gun and restored the shrunk people to their normal size.

This incident can now be considered completely over.
