No one took the ubiquitous crow seriously. Xie Junping and the other three walked in from the foyer. Boxes weighing hundreds of kilograms made a thunderous sound on the ground.
"Our teacher Luo." To Xue Lei, this weight is nothing, but he has some opinions on Ronan's behavior in the past few days. It’s chaotic. If you can’t get out of the door or take steps towards the second door, you’ll probably slide down again…”
Xie Junping chuckled: "He's reverting to his old ways. Didn't he mean that he was always such a geek before?"
Qin Yikun opened the elevator in front and sent the box inside. After turning around, he also participated in this topic. Of course, he mainly explained: "Mr. Luo is also striking while the iron is hot. After all, with the amazing achievement of Blood Intent Ring and Ghost Eye as a sparring partner, this opportunity is rare and cannot be missed."
Xue Lei showed his physical side: "He plays with these exoskeletons every day, just to strike while the iron is hot?"
Qin Yikun smiled and asked Xue Lei to transport another box into the elevator. At the same time, he raised his hand and shook it, showing the heavy metal bracelet on his wrist: "This is also a result! As a human body, I thought that I would be touched all my life. I’m no longer on the edge of the Yuan District, but I didn’t expect Mr. Luo to be able to solve this problem easily—this thing is very hot now.”
Xue Lei subconsciously shook his wrist. The weight on it made him lose confidence in what he said next. He could only mutter: "Balance of form and spirit cannot be neglected. Such a good qualification..."
"Beep beep beep."
The elevator alarm sounded. After all, it was not a freight elevator. Two metal boxes were stuffed in, exceeding the upper limit of 1,300 kilograms.
"Okay, I'll use the one next to me."
Xue Lei struggled to pull the box out again, but at this moment there was communication access, so Xie Junping pressed the button for him: "I'll go this way too, six floors underground, right?"
After all the hard work, the elevator door closed and the car descended. Xue Lei kept answering the phone, humming repeatedly, occasionally popping up words like Christmas and New Year's Day. By the time the elevator arrived, I hadn't finished talking yet.
Xie Junping helped Xue Lei pull out the box again. At this time, Qin Yikun was already waiting outside and was checking permissions, that is, verifying identity permissions.
Xie Junping felt a bit toothache when he saw this scene.
A considerable part of the seven-story underground building of the Gear was rebuilt by Yan Hong during this period. Because he had been engaged in highly confidential research on the prototype format and the Burner, he had almost transformed these several levels of underground buildings into a strict fortress.
When Xie Junping and Ronan came here, they suffered a loss due to permission issues. Neither he nor Ronan liked this arrangement, so they simply abandoned most of the defense system when they took over.
However, the Federation had a conflict with Ronan last time, and the gear was severely damaged by the Federation's tanks and others. When repairing it, safety issues had to be taken into consideration. In addition, Ronan has been using the gear as a base for the past few days. Research, the corresponding defensive measures are layer by layer reinforcement.
In particular, the sixth floor, which is the main laboratory, and the seventh floor, which covers core devices such as the host database and energy station, have been built into a small fortress by the technicians of the Xiacheng branch.
It is said that according to this safety standard, even if an extraordinary species comes to kill, the two-layer fortress can still hold on for one to two minutes, which is enough for the Xiacheng branch to take the next step of support measures.
Safety and convenience cannot be balanced. As the safety factor increases, comfort will definitely decrease. Here, the two boxes of equipment parts are simple. They are sent directly to the laboratory's warehouse via a conveyor belt for classification inspection. The three of them have to go through the inspection steps step by step.
"It's really troublesome." Xie Junping had permission to enter the laboratory, but he was seriously impatient with the complicated testing process.
At this time, I heard Xue Lei say: "The troublemaker is behind... Tian Qi called just now and said that he couldn't contact Nanzi. He asked me to tell him that the people from the Occult Research Society are going to hold year-end activities and are planning to do it during Christmas and New Year's Day. An 'Occult Theme Week', the venue is set at the Gear."
"Aha?"
"According to Tian Qi, this should be a warm-up for the relocation next semester, and I want to take this opportunity to move some equipment over. All useful functions have been activated to expand the activity space..."
"Damn, what kind of trouble are these people causing!" Xie Junping raised his wrist, trying to make a phone call to clarify the matter. However, on the sixth floor, he did not have communication permissions and could not get out at all.
Xue Lei advised: "It's hard to tell even if we contact him. After all, this is not Nanzi's private property. The property rights belong to the Occult Research Society. We can't say anything about when and how they will move."
With that said, Xue Lei turned around and looked at the brand new security equipment around him: "Maybe Nanzi needs to find another studio."
"There must be room for discussion here." As the person directly responsible for Ronan's security work, Qin Yikun's tone was calm and affirmative, and he didn't think this was a problem.
Xie Junping said "uh" and then remembered that now that Ronan was backed by the Xiacheng branch, if he started "discussing" with the Occult Research Society, the latter might not have any room to refuse.
Levels are all issues of levels.
He also felt that this was nothing to worry about. It happened that the permission verification of the three people had passed, so he murmured: "Speaking of the studio? Are you sure it's not a factory?"
Amid laughter, the three of them walked inside together, and then passed two security gates before entering the core area of the laboratory.
When you enter, you will find that behind the unfriendly and serious face in this laboratory, there is still a young and newbie.
The entire floor was deserted, except for the occasional few multifunctional robots driving motors and carrying equipment, buzzing through the corridors and the passages on both sides.
Even with the strong support of the Xiacheng branch, the purchase of various equipment here is still far from complete. Many spaces are still vacant, or only a small part has been completed. The only ones that are really enabled are the warehouse where the two boxes of parts went and the workspace where Ronan is currently located.
It was not the first time for the three of them to come here, so they walked in with familiarity. Soon, Ronan's figure was seen at the end of the passage on the right.
However, the young genius who is famous for his telekinesis did not seem to notice their arrival.
Ronan was standing among a bunch of robotic arms, holding an electronic pen in his hand and drawing on the workspace in mid-air. As he moves, less than half of the dozen mechanical working arms distributed in a space of more than 100 square meters are flexing and extending, and each has a different division of labor.
Some were moving equipment, some were assembling and dismantling components, and some were even welding directly and roughly, so that sparks flashed out in the work area, making Qin Yikun and others' eyelids twitch.
Xie Junping was a little confused: "He really wants to use this place as a factory?"
Xue Lei turned around and looked around: "Why don't you see Zhai Gong?"
Qin Yikun replied: "Gong Zhai worked overtime today and didn't come over."
Xue Lei turned around in shock and almost twisted his neck: "Hey, did he operate independently?"
Qin Yikun grinned: "There is a military-grade artificial intelligence here. According to Zhai Gong, it is relatively easy to use. I guess... I felt pretty good when I came here at noon."
Is this what happened in the afternoon?
The corners of Xue Lei's eyes twitched again, and he stared at the figure in the robotic arm jungle. After confirming that there was no danger for the time being, he glanced at the time clock on the side. It showed that Ronan had been working for seven consecutive hours, which meant that he had skipped at least half of his classes this morning.
"That's crazy... By the way, is he going to use telekinesis to cheat on the final exam?"
"If I had this ability a few years ago, I would have taken off long ago!" Xie Junping replied casually, but soon changed the focus of his attention, "Is that headband the extraordinary species..."
"Yeah, it's the one from Jintong."
Xue Lei confirmed Xie Junping's guess. The thing they were discussing was fixed on a robotic arm in front of Ronan. It looked very ordinary. If he didn't have a clear mind, he would probably be confused among the many surrounding equipment components.
In fact, Xie Junping has no clear concept of the power of extraordinary beings, but this does not prevent him from being in awe of this trophy that is stained with the blood of the world's top figures. Of course, more importantly, he is respectful of the winner who obtains this trophy. .
"I really didn't see it at first... Ouch!"
Before he finished speaking, the headband that attracted people's attention was placed squarely on Ronan's head under the guidance of the mechanical arm.
Xie Junping and the three of them all saw that the originally slightly wide headband shrank significantly the moment it was placed on Ronan's head. It fit right on Ronan's forehead and fit tightly, as if for Customized by Ronan.
Just after the headband was placed, Ronan threw away the electronic pen in his hand. This was like a signal. More than a dozen mechanical arms around him twisted their joints and pushed components and modules from all directions to Ronan one after another. , and then start equipping.
The main structures such as the micro energy furnace, chest and abdominal armor, and limb integrated modules have been debugged many times and fit Ronan's figure completely. It only took two seconds to complete. Others such as the survival system, Weapons and other weapons are also mounted on the body one after another.
In the blink of an eye, what appeared before them was a heavily armed dark blue walker.
"Tsk, tsk, it's like watching a movie."
"Iron Man Remastered Edition?"
"It looks like it, right? It's just that the color is a bit pigmented and she's a bit thinner."
Compared with the relaxed attitude of the two young people, Qin Yikun, as a professional, saw more things. Strictly speaking, this exoskeleton equipment is slimmer than the standard version. Ronan should have removed some of the mounting equipment and even some parts of the armor.
No matter what his purpose is, for a highly integrated and relatively mature combat platform, this change is too bold. In actual combat...
As soon as the thought was over, a buzzing tremolo sounded in the studio, which was a sign that the micro energy furnace started to heat up and the engine power increased rapidly.
"Hey, test the machine here..."
The second half of Xie Junping's words was shattered by the "boom" sound. A gust of wind blew in front of the three bystanders, the robotic arm in the work area swayed, and the idle parts on the floor were blown around.
All three of them caught the movement trajectory, but when they turned their heads, the exoskeleton armor had stopped at the other end of the large passage, behind which was the wall that had just been painted not long ago.
The distance between the starting point and the wall was about forty meters, and the time was about half a second... without any impact.
