Captain Zhao took a brief pause before refocusing on the camera.
"Hello, Professor!
"I never got to catch your name."
Professor Wang seemed to be in a good mood.
"Apologies, apologies.
"I was a bit hasty earlier. I apologize to you and the host!
"I'm a researcher. My name is Wang Guoxing. You can call me Professor Wang. That's what most of my colleagues call me."
Wang Guoxing...
Captain Zhao wasn't well-acquainted with researchers.
He didn't recognize that name.
However, he clearly had some fame.
He inferred that the person must be highly capable.
Thus, he inquired, "Professor Wang, I heard your breakdown of this handgun... Is it true?
"It's not that I doubt you.
"Just that this matter is of great importance; there can't be any mistakes.
"That's why I'd like to hear it again!"
Professor Wang nodded earnestly.
"It's true!
"While I haven't physically inspected the gun in detail, I saw it quite clearly through the camera.
"My anxiety earlier stemmed from realizing the uniqueness of this gun.
"My teacher and I were once researching this type of energy-gathering technology.
"However, we had to halt the project before completing it because we were limited by the technology of our time!
"I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime!
"Hehe, the person who created this gun is truly a genius!
"This alloy can be used not only in firearms.
"It could also significantly advance other industries!
"You could say that the technology behind this unique alloy would advance our civilization by over a century!"
Only then did everyone realize that Professor Wang had also researched this energy-gathering alloy.
This was also why he had been so anxious earlier.
Captain Zhao's expression became very serious.
"Thank you, Professor Wang!"
After saying that, he stepped aside and used his earpiece to communicate with his superior.
Since it was already exposed via the live broadcast, it was better to discuss it openly. It would boost the morale of the nation.
Captain Zhao took a deep breath and spoke, "Sir, I do not have sufficient men to handle the current situation.
"I'd like to request an increase in personnel to be prepared for unforeseen incidents!"
The voice in his earpiece promptly agreed. "No problem. This matter is of great importance, so the procedures should be streamlined. I'll have someone organize it right away.
"Will 200 SWAT officers suffice?"
"Thank you, Sir!" Captain Zhao nodded.
Meanwhile, Saa was already interviewing the professor.
"Professor Wang, is this technology really a hundred years ahead of its time?
"This sounds somewhat unbelievable..."
"If you don't believe me..." Professor Wang smiled.
"Why not try it yourself?"
"Captain Zhao is here. You can test it and see if it's genuine.
"But I must caution you that it will be quite the kick. Exercise caution while testing.
"This might be its only flaw..."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was eager to give it a try.
But at that moment, Xia Zixin suddenly appeared in front of the camera.
She puffed out her cheeks indignantly.
"Don't talk nonsense!
"My dad's pistol has no flaws whatsoever!"
Nonsense...
Everyone gazed at Xia Zixin in bewilderment.
Wang Guoxing was an armament professor!
He had been responsible for researching hundreds of state-of-the-art weapons!
The nation had made numerous technological breakthroughs.
Professor Wang might not have been behind it all, but he was heavily involved.
How could he spout nonsense?!
There was no need for that!
Yet now, a little girl was berating him.
For a moment, everyone present was dumbfounded as they stared at Xia Zixin without uttering a word.
The chat erupted into commotion due to Xia Zixin.
"Oh my goodness!"
"Incredible, little girl!"
"Well done. I've been wanting to put this old man in his place for a while!"
"How could a firearms professor like Professor Wang not know about pistols? I don't think Xia Zixin even knows what recoil is!"
"Nonsense! Regardless of his professorship, he can't know more about a little girl's dad's toys than her. This toy was made by Xia Zixin's dad. If she doesn't know, who would?!"
"That makes sense. If this little girl could bring a pistol to school, why wouldn't she fire a few shots?"
"This is getting more and more interesting. I'm watching a little girl challenging an old professor. I'm loving this plot!"
"To be honest, if this gun is truly powerful and this special alloy surpasses a century of worldwide scientific research, wouldn't Xia Zixin's father end up in jail?"
The viewers were fervently discussing.
Saa swiftly pulled Xia Zixin behind him and looked apologetically at the camera.
"I'm sorry, Professor Wang...
"The child doesn't understand much, so she's a bit impolite!"
However, Professor Wang hadn't spoken yet.
Xia Zixin reappeared in front of the camera with her hands on her hips while pouting.
"This old man was impolite first!
"This pistol was made by my father. It's flawless!
"This old man is spouting nonsense!"
To everyone's surprise, Professor Wang did not appear to be upset. Instead, he smiled and said, "Little girl, hello.
"Could you tell me what my mistake is?
"I'm a researcher too. We can discuss any issues with each other."
The viewers gave him a thumbs up.
"How open-minded!"
"Professor Wang is different from the typical professional. He doesn't care about Xia Zixin's age and is willing to discuss science with her!"
"Professor Wang truly is an esteemed professor!"
"Oh, how I wish my teacher were as amazing as Professor Wang!"
Saa greatly admired Professor Wang.
Initially, he thought that Professor Wang would reprimand Xia Zixin severely. He had feared for her.
This was the caliber of a national academician!
"Xia Zixin," Saa said with a smile.
"First and foremost, Professor Wang is a very elderly gentleman.
"We shouldn't address our elders in such a manner, right?
"Let's apologize to Professor Wang first and then discuss the gun, alright?"
Saa was truly adept at communicating with children.
Without much else to say, Xia Zixin apologized sensibly.
