During the past few days of being imprisoned by Xu Shi, Luo Zhikang felt like he was going crazy from being tortured.
There are many reasons for all this, such as poor environment, useless lighting, poor food...but there is only one most important reason.
Can't be solved.
In fact, not long after he started using it, he noticed that the "Haihe" Xu Shixin brought was different from the one brought to him by Shen He's trustee.
It had obviously been further modified and upgraded... He didn't pay much attention to it at first.
As the chief engineer of a top consortium in the past, Luo Zhikang had deep pride and confidence in himself.
If you can crack the previous ones, then this should be no problem.
He has been dealing with machinery all his life and has a huge amount of knowledge in his mind.
However, the small drone in front of him had many details. No matter how much he searched, he could not find a corresponding solution!
But as time went by, reality hit him hard.
Not to mention that the blockade and keys in the kernel left him completely helpless. Even the external deconstruction, which he was best at, was a bit difficult for him to operate.
If you are not careful, it will be difficult to put the disassembled parts back together as they were.
And this was definitely not Xu Shi's intention to make things difficult - the various tools provided to him by "Snake Ring" were thousands of times better than those provided by "Xinghuo".
If there weren't heavy guards guarding the door 24 hours a day, it would have been enough for him to open the door of the solitary room and escape.
It's just that his skills are inferior to others, and his thinking and understanding are completely defeated by the manufacturer of this machine.
Although he didn't want to admit it from the bottom of his heart, the rising frustration in his heart had already brought him to the verge of collapse.
"It should, it should be possible to explain it this way... No, no!"
"Then it's wrong to use this formula to infer..."
"Hahaha, I know...fuck, it's theoretically correct, but why doesn't it work! Why!"
Roaring like this happens all the time, and even the guard at the door is tired of hearing it.
"Master, is Mr. Xu a lunatic? Wouldn't it be better to send him to a mental hospital?"
"Qingshi, my friend, when I dream at night, I feel like this old guy is howling in my ears, which makes my wife think I'm looking for someone outside."
But they shut their mouths the next second because they saw Xu Shi walking towards here.
"Restore power to the confinement room."
Xu Shi ignored their gossip, whispered instructions, and opened the locked door.
The lights in the room suddenly turned on, and he suddenly felt the long-lost bright light, which made Luo Zhikang subconsciously close his eyes and shrink back.
"It seems that Mr. Luo is in some trouble?"
Xu Shi asked from a high position, looking at the embarrassed Luo Zhikang who was kneeling in front of him with a smile.
"Xu Shi..."
Luo Zhikang was stunned, then stared at him and snorted coldly.
As if to express protest, aren't all these troubles caused by you?
This attitude left Xu Shi quite speechless.
Really, how come these people don't realize that they are the perpetrators, and that they are the weak, pitiful and helpless victims?
It was obviously you who targeted me first, yet you could still look so at ease even if you were caught.
However, he didn't pay too much attention, but became serious, "The process of cracking the drone must not be smooth, right? Do you have many questions to ask?"
"For example...here?"
He pointed to a mess on the ground.
"..."
Luo Zhikang did not answer. He was troubled, but he had no intention of bowing to the person in front of him.
But without waiting for his reaction, Xu Shi started to explain to him the specific structure and details of the composition.
He deliberately spoke slowly so that the other party could hear him carefully.
"...That's probably it. Mr. Luo, do you understand?"
"..."
Luo Zhikang remained silent, but his expression changed from unyielding to shocked.
Xu Shi's explanation completely cleared up his doubts, and his groggy consciousness suddenly became enlightened at this moment.
And those designs and micro-manipulations that broke the stereotype of thinking made him couldn't help but admire him - if he wasn't a genius engineer, he would never have thought of such a method.
In contrast, Luo Zhikang felt increasingly ashamed of himself.
"That's it for now? I'll come see Mr. Luo later."
Xu Shi seemed to be talking about this. After telling Luo Zhikang, he stood up and left, "I wish you good health."
"……etc!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Luo Zhikang finally couldn't hold himself back and called out to him.
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
After a while, he turned around and pretended to be confused.
"...What about here? How is the air pressure problem at the three-way connection...solved?"
Luo Zhikang stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at another part of the drone.
"This..."
Xu Shi looked it over, then shook his head, "I won't tell you."
"Mr. Luo, don't forget, this is our bet."
His tone was slightly regretful, "I told you one thing out of good intentions, but you can't ask me everything, right?"
"Of course, if you can admit your failure... then that's a different matter."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
To be honest, compared to Gu Yi or Xia Wuyou, Luo Zhikang did not have any obvious weaknesses.
He is alone with no relatives and friends, and his loyalty to "Tianhe" or Shenhe means that he is not afraid of the threat of death.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have weaknesses - arrogance and paranoia.
The arrogance was due to his status as the former chief engineer of the consortium. In fact, the only person he was loyal to was Shen He. He had never taken a serious look at other people in the organization and had always treated them as their weaklings.
Paranoia is reflected in his research on mechanical engineering... Actually, this word is not quite appropriate. To be precise, it is "crazy".
So this bet was designed for this reason - the outcome of being unable to crack the drone, reducing Luo Zhikang's pride to nothing, chief engineer? You are a hammer.
But Jiang Chengcheng's exquisite design inevitably aroused his interest, and he was eager to know the answer.
Of course, he also made some arrangements for external factors, taking away the clock to disrupt the concept of time, a small, dark and airtight room, a poor diet... these small means common in interrogations can all destroy a person's will. to great help.
The increasingly scrawled handwriting on the calculation paper is a good evidence of this, and there are even many messy marks on the walls.
It was obvious that the old gentleman was about to collapse.
Well, now is the time for him to make a choice.
"I……"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Zhikang showed a wavering expression as expected.
To be honest, his inner dignity did not allow him to surrender to Xu Shi, and he had never bowed his head to anyone.
Not to mention that this was done deliberately by Xu Shi, with the purpose of making himself admit defeat.
But the design of this drone really made him want to stop. As long as the troubles in his heart were not resolved, he felt like there were ants crawling on him.
And he also knows that on his own, even if he is given another ten or eight years, he may not be able to solve all this.
so.
"You win."
After a moment of struggle, he covered his face and let out a long sigh, "You won this bet."
"It really makes me happy that Mr. Luo can be so honest."
Xu Shi chuckled, not surprised at all.
"Then...can you tell me now?"
Luo Zhikang seemed to have aged several years in an instant, but he still urged eagerly.
"certainly."
Xu Shi nodded, "But... Mr. Luo needs to bring something in exchange."
"Huh? What do you want?"
Luo Zhikang gritted his teeth when he heard this, "If you want my life, at least let me... die clearly."
"Stop being ridiculous, wouldn't it be easy for me to kill you?"
Xu Shi smiled and waved his hand, "And your life is with me. To be honest, it's worthless."
"That……"
"If I remember correctly, before Tianhe was destroyed, it was preparing to launch a project called "Overlimit". "
"As the chief designer, you should have relevant research information, right?"
