Chloe Sinclair saw Nathan Trenton’s slight frown and explained, "Chairman Shaw and I have known each other for a long time. I happened to help him out with something a while back."
Chloe Sinclair didn’t elaborate on the details.
Only then did Nathan Trenton relax, sighing in relief.
He let out a long breath. "It’s good that you did him a favor. That man, Jasper Shaw, always repays his debts. If you need anything in the future, he’ll definitely lend you a hand."
"Yes, he has indeed helped me quite a lot."
Chloe Sinclair nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Nathan Trenton felt a bit put out and added, "But he’s a cunning man and has never had anyone close to him. Be careful when you deal with him in the future."
’He won’t,’ Chloe Sinclair thought to herself. But Nathan Trenton said it with such gravity that she could only nod obediently.
She said, "Professor, now that we’ve secured the investor, roughly when can I get into the lab to modify the Mark Device?"
Although there was still a long time before the scheduled modification of the Mark Device, Chloe Sinclair didn’t want to waste a single moment.
Joel Quincy thought for a moment, then said, "If you want, you can start right now."
Chloe Sinclair’s eyes lit up. Joel Quincy’s answer was exactly what she had been hoping to hear.
She then eagerly rushed into the lab.
"Professors, I’ll have to trouble you tomorrow to help me find twenty researchers willing to volunteer for the Mark Device modification. If no one is willing, then... twenty laborers will do."
Before coming to the lab, Chloe Sinclair had signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Doubts began to form in many people’s minds.
After all, the latest Mark Device required a foundation of over a hundred rare materials to build. The materials Chloe Sinclair brought back, however, probably weren’t even good enough to build a simple nuclear device.
Some people started to become skeptical.
However, Chloe Sinclair was unaffected by the crowd and explained, "This is just the beginning. What we’re going to do next is integrate electrical engineering, mechanics, and automation."
Chloe Sinclair’s materials seemed common and commercially available, but the further they got, the more everyone began to notice something.
Chloe Sinclair was using new materials that had frequently appeared on the market in recent years, mostly ferrites and amalgams.
At first glance, it wasn’t apparent what was different about them, but later on, they discovered that these metallic materials were highly resistant to radiation swelling!
