Takumi looked at the defensive weapons that Dr. Mei had created and fell into deep thought.
The best defense is offense, right?
Damn, this was not a defense system at all.
Instead, it was an attack system.
All kinds of weapons could directly cover the entire Teyvat.
If anyone dared to offend Liyue, these weapons would be activated and directly target the capital of any country.
They could instantly raze a capital to the ground.
Moreover, these weapons were… as powerful as hydrogen bombs.
The most important point was that all these weapons used Honkai energy as their power source.
Even the Seven Gods would be injured by such weapons.
The power of Honkai was not something to joke about.
And there were many of them.
If Khaenri'ah had possessed such weapons back then, the Seven Gods would probably have had no solution at all.
Looking at the introduction, Takumi suddenly felt a headache.
Dr. Mei had really made a huge move without saying a word.
Takumi frowned.
After thinking for a moment, there was nothing more to say.
Since it was already done, it was better to develop it properly.
Weapons might not be used, but they could not be absent.
It was still the same sentence.
Thinking of this, Takumi waved his hand.
He directly approved the deployment.
With Takumi's consent, Nuwa immediately notified Dr. Mei.
After receiving Nuwa's reply and seeing Takumi's approval, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Dr. Mei's mouth.
She knew Takumi would agree.
A defense system?
That was just rhetoric.
If it was not used, it was a defense system.
If it was used, it became a strategic weapon.
Moreover, these weapons were designed to lock onto the cities of other nations first.
Of course, she did not say these things out loud.
At the same time, Takumi would not speak of it either.
Everyone only knew that Liyue had deployed some defensive weapons.
As for what they were actually used for,
no one would know.
Takumi did not say it, Dr. Mei did not say it, and Nuwa could not say it.
Only two people and an artificial intelligence knew the truth.
After agreeing to this matter,
Takumi also instructed Nuwa to apply the highest level of encryption.
Even Ningguang would be unable to learn the truth.
If asked, Nuwa's answer would only be:
defensive weapons.
Don't ask. Asking still means defensive weapons.
This matter was clearly unsuitable for public disclosure.
Perhaps even the students led by Dr. Mei did not know that they had helped create such terrifying weapons.
They were merely assembling components and learning surface-level knowledge.
Only Dr. Mei knew the real details.
If others wanted to know, it would likely be extremely difficult.
They might never have the chance in their entire lives.
After approving this matter, Takumi sighed.
Those weapons would probably never be used in this lifetime.
After all, no short-sighted fool would dare to challenge Liyue.
If there was one, Takumi would make them understand what a dimensionality reduction strike meant.
Liyue?
It was now the lair of Herrschers.
Takumi continued reviewing the documents in his hands.
When he saw another file, he was slightly surprised.
There were already many outstanding graduates from the academy.
An application for expansion had been submitted.
It was asking for more funding again.
The students trained by Dr. Mei earlier had begun to stand on their own.
As a result, the hospital now needed to expand.
Takumi considered the document briefly and approved it.
Regarding hospital expansion, perhaps even more could be added.
Because Guili Plains alone was no longer sufficient.
Places like Qingce Village also needed new hospitals.
Thinking of this, Takumi directly approved a large amount of funding.
He had never been stingy when it came to medical care.
Speaking of which, he had not visited Sucrose for quite some time.
Thinking about it, Takumi stood up after finishing his work.
He headed directly to Cuijue Slope.
Perhaps he should check on Sucrose and see how her latest research was progressing.
As for Sucrose, Takumi had always taken a hands-off approach.
The pharmaceutical factory at Cuijue Slope provided her with ample research funding every year.
So Sucrose had never needed to ask Takumi for money.
Meanwhile, her research results continued to emerge.
Many of the rare medicines now available in Liyue
had been researched by Sucrose alone.
Even Mobius had not directly intervened.
Mobius was very fond of this cute girl with a similar hair color to her own.
She liked her very much.
Deep down, she had probably already regarded Sucrose as her student.
As a result, Sucrose had inherited much of Mobius's true teachings.
If albedo was Sucrose's teacher in alchemy,
then Mobius was her teacher in biology.
Mobius did not know alchemy.
But in biology, she was an absolute authority.
Because Sucrose had learned so much from Mobius,
she had become extremely powerful in plant and organism research.
Otherwise, there would not be so many special medicines.
All of this was thanks to Mobius.
Takumi opened a space channel and directly arrived at Sucrose's laboratory at Cuijue Slope.
Coming here again, he found that the place had completely changed.
There were all kinds of plants and flowers he had never seen before.
It looked like a botanical paradise.
Flowers bloomed in brilliant competition.
Bees buzzed everywhere.
Takumi was surprised when he smelled the fragrance in the air.
This girl, Sucrose, had truly created something incredible.
Thinking so, Takumi walked inside.
Before long, he saw Sucrose.
At that moment, she was smiling as she watered a flower he had never seen before.
To be honest, he had never seen any of the plants here.
They were probably all cultivated by Sucrose herself.
For her dream, she had gone all out, cultivating countless new species.
Takumi could not help smiling at the thought.
"Sucrose!"
Takumi called out to her.
Hearing his voice, Sucrose froze for a moment.
She then looked over.
Pushing her glasses up, surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Takumi!"
"Why are you here?"
"Is there something you want me to research?"
At this time, Sucrose was no longer nervous when she saw Takumi.
Perhaps it was because of Mobius's guidance.
She had clearly become more mature.
At least, she no longer became shy or flustered upon meeting people.
Takumi rolled his eyes immediately when he heard her words.
"Do I only come to you for research?"
"That's really sad."
"Can't I just come to see you?"
When Sucrose heard this, she immediately became flustered.
Seeing her reaction, Takumi laughed.
Well, it seemed Sucrose was still Sucrose.
Still simple, still easy to fluster.
Takumi had thought she had changed.
But in the end, she had not changed at all.
