Mechanics with outstanding skills basically have no worries about making money wherever they go.

At the same time, as long as the technology is high enough, it is basically not too difficult to make a lot of money.

But Jessica, who had just joined their eldest lady's team a year ago, really didn't know how much Charles, as a mechanic with top skills, owed to their eldest lady.

Debts that cannot be repaid.

Char's past life was too exciting. As a genius mechanic, his ability was ranked among the top even when looking at multiple universes.

It is precisely because of this that Char has always been highly valued by his motherland, and he has taken over a super large project invested by many countries, established a project team, and conducted research and development.

The scale of this project is huge, the amount of funds is also huge, and it is related to the innovation of the military power of the space country with the development of multiple technologies. Its importance is beyond doubt.

At that time, the project team leader of this huge project was none other than Charles.

Char's ability is actually sufficient. If he faithfully follows the design that was determined at the beginning, there will be no problem nine times out of ten.

But this problem happened because he was in the spotlight back then. Halfway through the project, he felt that the original design was not good, so he changed the design on his own!

This directly brought a subversive impact to the entire project, which could not be completed on time. Needless to say, what is even more terrible is that due to the large changes and the overturning and redoing of previous projects, the project team suffered a huge setback.

If the project wants to continue with the huge funding gap, it will require large-scale additional funding.

And this will definitely be an astronomical figure!

Char's home country is the largest investor and sponsor of this project, but even so, the research funding only accounts for 18.72% of the total project funding, or even less than 20%.

Even though Charles patted his chest and said that as long as the funds are in place, this project will definitely be successful and will be better than the original one, and his country is willing to continue to provide additional funds.

Because other investing countries may not be willing to continue to add more.

In the final analysis, a multinational joint research and development project, to put it nicely, means combining top talents from many countries to jointly conduct research and development, but to put it harshly, doesn’t it mean that they are incapable of independent research and development?

In fact, the strength of the universe countries that participated in this project is basically only second or even third tier in the entire universe.

Char's motherland, among the second-tier universe countries, is almost in the middle and upper reaches of the country in terms of comprehensive national strength, so it can occupy a dominant position as the organizer of this joint project.

What is the strength of other cosmic countries? You can tell a lot from this.

The unexpected occurrence inevitably caused differences in the opinions of various investing countries.

And since Char, who is the leader of the project, is from the host country, it is no surprise that Char's homeland was besieged by all parties.

Some investor countries simply don’t want to get involved anymore, and they join forces with other investor countries that have the same idea, demanding that the host country repay their investment funds, and plan to take the money and leave.

Other investor countries believe that there was nothing wrong with the project in the first place, but it was your people who caused trouble and ended up like this. The resulting funding gap should be filled by Char's home country, not by them.

.

This matter involved many cosmic nations at that time. Although they were all second-tier and third-tier cosmic nations, individually they might not be as powerful as Char's motherland, but together, their momentum should not be underestimated.

And as mentioned before, the research funds previously invested by Char's motherland in the project accounted for less than 20% of the total funds, and they are already the largest investor. They are required to make up for this funding gap themselves.

, that is unrealistic.

As for repaying the funds, they also can't come up with that much money.

Under the premise that all parties were unwilling to supplement funds, the project soon suffered a sharp decline in research and development efficiency due to funding problems, and ultimately the research and development failed.

This further aggravated the sentiments of various investing countries.

When you first drew the pie, you drew it so big, and this is how it ended up?

How can various investing countries accept this?

The host country, which was under siege, was suddenly pushed to the forefront, and as the general person in charge of the project, one can imagine how bad the situation was at that time.

As a second-tier country, its national strength is limited and its talents are limited. If it can produce such a top talent, Char's motherland naturally wants to protect him.

But the question is, can it be saved?

The cosmic nations of all parties have now reached a consensus, and they are ready to take action directly if they disagree.

Char's motherland, as a second-tier country, really cannot afford this public outrage.

I have no choice but to compromise.

After many negotiations between the two parties, a sixty-year installment compensation clause was signed and Charles was executed.

Leaving aside the compensation clause, most of the universe nations have heard of this top talent like Char.

If possible, they would of course want to capture Char in their own hands.

But there is only one Char, but there are so many pairs of hands stretched out. Who can he give them to?

No matter who you give it to, if no one else accepts it, then everyone might as well not want it.

If a bowl of water is flat, everyone has no problem with it, right?

In this process, Charles had no right to choose. His life was no longer his.

According to the situation at that time, Char would eventually become a victim of the struggle between various cosmic nations.

Charles, who had been "protected" by the motherland at that time, of course knew what the outcome would be for him next.

It was useless no matter how unwilling he was, he was completely powerless to resist.

But at the critical moment, the appearance of the eldest lady changed his destiny!

After many negotiations with various space nations, Char's life was successfully saved and he was taken away.

After that, Char became a regular mechanic in Missy's team.

Therefore, what Charles owes the eldest lady is not an astronomical debt at all, but a life-saving grace!

In the previous situation, in fact, their eldest lady was not talking about the debt, she was just teasing Charles.

Char himself knew this, so at this time, Char would basically come down the steps.

This is also a very common way for both of them to get along.

"Not okay yet?"

The eldest lady, who was completely paralyzed on the soft sofa and had nothing to say about sitting down, lazily asked questions.

"Okay, okay, almost done."

Char has repeated similar words dozens of times in a short period of time, almost forming an instinctive reaction. The protective suit on his body that can ensure his life in an accidental explosion has also made him a little bit more...

The bloat, to a great extent, affected his work efficiency.

But this time, it's really getting better.

"Done!"

While talking, Char quickly walked out of the isolation room made of explosion-proof glass.

"I have already sorted out the wiring. Next, I just need to connect the energy source."

While speaking, Charlie pressed the switch neatly.

The energy was turned on, and along with charging, the internal equipment started quickly. The eyes of the mechanical head placed in the isolation room suddenly lit up slightly...

"Beep! The core mastermind is starting up..."

"Confirm the unfamiliar environment, discover the existence of other units, scan in progress, apply for database usage permission..."

At that moment, everyone's faces, headed by the eldest lady, were quickly scanned in a short period of time and checked against the database in the master brain of the individual machine race.

Finally, the machine clan focused its attention on the eldest lady.
Chapter completed!
