Qi Tian felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing Zhu Ziyan's words, but the determination in his eyes did not falter. In his previous life, his home country had given in to greed and taken shortcuts, avoiding hardships in the early stages. The result was that, in the late stages, the gap with their foreign counterparts became so vast that they could no longer catch up, allowing the competition to trample them ruthlessly. There were far too many examples of this.
Qi Tian had made up his mind at an early stage. Even if it meant enduring endless hardships and consuming enormous resources, he would persist nonetheless. He couldn't afford to break down or slack off, he had to press on.
