Shen Qiao's research institute is on the Academy Star, but it is not in the Nebula District, but in the Xingyao District next door.
This area of Yinsong Avenue in Xingyao District is private land. There are many private villas and private estates nearby. Shen Qiao built his research institute here. At that time, he spent a lot of money to buy a private estate and dedicated it to this area. The manor has become a place where you can do research and take a vacation at any time.
In Shen Qiao's own words, it is for the sake of the physical and mental health of the researchers in his institute, so that the researchers can feel the warmth of home and the enjoyment and relaxation of a top resort at any time during the boring and busy work. .
Xiao Tingyun, his investor, actually sneered at his words. He said it was for the researchers in the institute, but it was actually for him to live comfortably. Otherwise, why would Shen Qiao never move in here? So beautiful that you don’t even want to go home?
Don't say that he lives here and doesn't want to go home because he is doing research. He graduated from the mecha design department. Even if he is a genius and can cross fields, not every research project needs him.
Shen Qiao didn't think so himself. Anyway, after moving here, he couldn't think of letting him move out again. He clocked in to work every day and got off work on time every day. After work, he wandered around the manor. During this period, he even wanted to do it again in the manor. Get out of an open-air hot spring. Unfortunately, there is not much water content on the Academy Planet. Even the rivers and seas are pitiful, let alone the underground hot spring water. There are only five places where hot springs can be found on the entire Academy Planet. But this area of Xingyao District is not included. Even if he penetrates the underground of the manor, he will not be able to create a hot spring.
Shen Qiao felt quite regretful about this. In the end, she had to buy a giant swimming pool at a high price and install it behind the main building. She used the high-priced swimming pool's function of emitting hot water to pretend that there was a hot spring in her manor.
Shen Qiao's favorite thing to do during the day is to take a dip in the pool during his lunch break. This not only relieves fatigue, but also allows him to take a sunbath after the dip.
Therefore, when he received the communication from Long Jihuai, he had just climbed out of the pool.
Shen Qiao took the bathrobe on the recliner and put it on while connecting the communication. When the holographic video box popped up, he greeted Long Jihuai inside and said with a smile: "Hey, how's the afternoon, Marshal? Are you free to see me? Do you need after-sales service for your new mecha?"
Long Jihuai's eyes hurt when he looked at his improper appearance, especially after looking at his surroundings. He immediately said angrily: "Have you never been beaten by your father because of this appearance?"
Shen Qiao said with a playful smile: "That's not possible. If my old man calls, I will definitely have to act more like a dog."
Long Jihuai laughed angrily at his words. Did this kid think he wouldn't beat him, so he dared to be so immoral?
"Okay, put on your clothes, it's too immoral." Long Jihuai snorted: "I have something serious to tell you, kid."
The bathrobe Shen Qiao was wearing was loose, and the belt was not fastened, exposing most of his chest. However, he felt good himself. Although he tied the belt obediently, he said cheerfully: "Commander, what are you doing? That’s not right, no matter how immoral I am, I am still wearing some clothes, look at that person over there who is really immoral.”
As he spoke, he directed the camera towards the swimming pool opposite, and the person he said was immoral was Wei Chuyang, who was still soaking in the pool.
Long Jihuai glanced at it and felt his eyes hurt even more.
However, when Wei Chuyang heard Shen Qiao's words, he saw him turn the camera towards him, put his hands on the edge of the pool and climb up. As he walked over, he retorted: "Have you ever seen anyone whose clothes come out while swimming?" ?”
After saying that, Wei Chuyang also said to Long Jihuai on the holographic screen: "That's right, Marshal, the one who is immoral must be someone like him who has already arrived on the shore and hasn't dressed properly."
Hearing this, Shen Qiao turned the camera to herself again, and then heard Long Jihuai say: "Both of you are immoral. I took a screenshot just now and will send it to His Majesty later so that His Majesty can take a look at you two." What exactly did the boy do while hiding in the Academy Star?"
As soon as these words were said, Shen Qiao and Wei Chuyang begged for mercy at the same time.
"Commander, no."
"Commander, we were wrong. Please don't complain to His Majesty."
"We just came here to relax during our lunch break. We have to continue moving bricks in the laboratory soon."
Shen Qiao was afraid of being sued because he was afraid that Xiao Tingyun would cut off his own funds if he knew that he was living too comfortably. Wei Chuyang was afraid of being sued. It was even simpler. After all, he skipped work and ran away, leaving Xingcejun behind. He ran away for such a long time without returning to Tianshuangxing. If His Majesty finds out that he is so promiscuous here again, he knows how he will be punished by His Majesty.
Shen Qiao and Wei Chuyang both calmed down, and within a few seconds, they wrapped themselves tightly in bathrobes.
In fact, Long Jihuai really didn't want to complain, and it was even more impossible to take screenshots. After seeing that the two boys were finally honest, he said with satisfaction: "It's okay to be afraid. Boy Shen, I heard that you Are the special materials for building super mechas almost exhausted? Are there only enough left to transform ten mechas?"
"Aren't we almost exhausted?" Shen Qiao burst into tears when talking about this, "Not to mention the quantity of ten mechas. After transforming Commander Wei's mechas, the remaining quantity is only enough to transform eight. I have a mecha. You don’t know how picky Commander Wei is. He promised to just upgrade and renovate it, but when it was actually implemented, he had to re-modify here and re-modify there. We will wait until it is almost completed. I found that almost all of his mechas have been replaced with new ones."
Shen Qiao complained bitterly to Long Jihuai, but Commander Wei himself laughed so hard that his white teeth bared, and said shamelessly: "Oh, aren't you too greedy for our majesty's new super mecha? I think It needs to be changed anyway, so just make more changes."
Shen Qiao had a look of pain on his face, "You're happy. We didn't have many special materials now. You have a 3S-level mecha. It would be a waste to completely modify it."
Wei Chuyang smiled and said: "Then I will work hard to improve myself and strive to break through to the 4S level."
Shen Qiao was shocked when he heard this, "But goodbye, if you really break through, won't you come to us again to upgrade the mecha?!"
Wei Chuyang laughed happily, "It's not like I didn't pay you, why are you so painful?"
Shen Qiao laughed bitterly and said: "What's the use of giving money? Those special materials can't be obtained even if you have money, okay? The less you use, the less."
With such a bitter and resentful look on his face, not to mention Wei Chuyang smiled more happily, and even Long Jihuai couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Long Jihuai shook his head and smiled, and said: "Boy Shen, I want all the remaining special materials you have. The exclusive mechas of the seven major generals of my Long family army also need to be upgraded."
"What?!!!"
Before Long Jihuai could finish speaking, Shen Qiao's face turned green.
He only has enough to transform eight mechas here, and the commander actually wants them all? !
Long Jihuai looked at his green face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. I will take all your materials and transform and upgrade seven 3S-level mechas. The cost will be , I don’t plan to give it to you.”
Shen Qiao: "!!!!!!"
The already green face became even greener now.
Long Jihuai almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but he continued: "I'll pay you in another way."
Shen Qiao asked in a panic, "In what way?"
Long Jihuai smiled and said, "Don't you lack special materials and special energy? Make a list for me of whatever you need, and I'll ask the Long Family Army to find it for you. This should offset the reward, right?"
Shen Qiao looked confused at first, and then he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Did he hear wrongly? He asked uncertainly: "You mean you can help me find those special materials and special energy sources?"
Long Jihuai smiled and nodded.
"No." Shen Qiao said in disbelief: "Commander, do you know how scarce those special materials and energy are? Our Majesty sent so many people and spent so much money to collect them all over the planet. We have only recovered this much from six galaxies, are you sure you can recover more?"
Long Jihuai smiled and said: "Your Majesty found it in the six galaxies in our Xingluo. Naturally, he did not find many, but I asked people to search in the outer star field. Who do you think will find more?"
"Alien territory?!"
Shen Qiao was shocked, and Wei Chuyang's eyes widened suddenly.
"Commander." Wei Chuyang said in disbelief: "Are you going to the outer star field to get special materials and energy to start a war with all the alien races in the outer star field?"
This is to go to other people's homes to dig out their lifeblood. Why shouldn't those alien races pick up weapons and fight them? !
However, Long Jihuai said in the tunnel: "Don't worry, there won't be a war. Mr. Shen, please give me a list of what you need. Someone from my side will come over soon, and tomorrow I will have someone send six sets of what you need." Please hurry up and give me the time to transform and upgrade the mecha. Remember, it’s not about renovating and upgrading some basics, but rectifying everything like Wei Xiaozi’s mecha.”
Just like Wei Chuyang's mechas were completely renovated, the amount of eight mechas could only be changed to three mechas!
Shen Qiao was dumbfounded and couldn't even speak.
Long Jihuai then followed up: "Don't worry, the missing materials and energy will be delivered one after another."
Shen Qiao: "!!!"
Wei Chuyang: "No, Commander, have you already determined your target?"
If he said with such certainty that the missing materials and energy would be sent one after another in the future, he must have determined where these things are in the outer star field.
Not to mention, Long Jihuai actually determined where the main special materials and energy sources needed to transform the mechas are. After all, the Long Family Army’s intelligence department is not a decoration. It has always been very knowledgeable about the facts in the outer star field. It's about intention.
Therefore, Long Jihuai just smiled and said nothing to Wei Chuyang's words.
Wei Chuyang's eyes lit up when he saw this, "Commander, are you planning to cause trouble? Are you going to the outer star field to rob? Can I go with you?"
Long Jihuai looked at him sideways and asked, "Why are you following me?"
Wei Chuyang chuckled and didn't hide it. He said truthfully: "We also have several 3S-level subordinates in the Xingce Army. I also want to upgrade their mechas. I will help you and I will grab them when the time comes. If you get back the materials and energy, just give me a share, I don’t want more, just share enough to transform and upgrade three mechas.”
Wei Chuyang's mind was spinning very fast. After hearing Long Jihuai's plan, he began to seek benefits for his subordinates.
On the other hand, Shen Qiao on the side was already so shocked that he and Long Jihuai were speechless.
Let's not talk about anything else. Just going to the alien realm to get materials and energy, will it really not cause riots among the alien races?
With a large amount of special materials and energy on one side, and the riots of alien races on the other, Shen Qiao was almost torn to death.
Of course he wants special materials and energy, but he is also afraid of bringing disaster to the empire.
Shen Qiao asked tremblingly: "Commander, does your Majesty know about this?"
Long Jihuai said calmly: "I don't know yet, but I will explain it in detail with Your Majesty later."
Shen Qiao: "."
Your Majesty doesn't know that you dare to do it?
Long Jihuai smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will give an explanation to Your Majesty and I will ensure that the empire will not be put in danger."
Seeing that he spoke so firmly, Shen Qiao gradually let go of mentioning it. After all, who is Long Jihuai? He is the pinnacle of the empire. Anyone can do things that harm the empire, but Long Jihuai is absolutely impossible. .
The scale in Shen Qiao's heart gradually tilted toward the party that wanted special materials and energy. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will sort out the list of needs and send it to you later. As long as you If you can get a lot of special materials and energy, we will help you build seven new super mechas for free."
Wei Chuyang shouted unwillingly on the side: "There is still me, our Xingce Army also needs to build three more units." After saying that, he looked at Long Jihuai longingly, "Commander, take me one, my new The mecha has actually been modified, but it is still being tested these days. If you bring me one, I will bring my new mecha to help you. I am particularly good at fighting. If I need to fight, I will be the first one. "
Wei Chuyang has always been unruly, but now in order to allow his subordinates' mechas to be modified and upgraded, he has no shame. The unruly wolf cubs have turned into pitiful puppies.
Long Jihuai only hesitated for a few seconds before deciding: "If you can come to Hongyan Star within ten days, then I will take you with me."
When Wei Chuyang heard this, he became energetic and immediately said: "I'll set off now. I just need to jump all the way over and I'll make sure to arrive within ten days."
After Wei Chuyang said this, he turned to leave, pushed Shen Qiao and said, "Remember, there are also three mechas from our Xingce Army."
After saying that, Wei Chuyang strode away. Looking at the direction in which he left, you could tell that he was going to pick up his mecha that was still being tested in the laboratory.
Shen Qiao was infected by Wei Chuyang's excitement and said to Long Jihuai excitedly: "Commander, I will sort out the list now. I will send the compiled list to you soon."
Long Jihuai nodded with a smile, and the two disconnected the communication connection.
Shen Qiao didn't bother to go back and change clothes. She put on her bathrobe and walked towards the laboratory building. As she walked, she called Wei Chuyang who was hurriedly walking in front of him, "Commander Wei, wait for me, I'll come with you."
Shen Qiao and Wei Chuyang on this side hurried to the laboratory, while Long Jihuai on the other side made another call after disconnecting the communication.
This time he called Duan Lishu. In the communication, Long Jihuai first informed Duan Lishu of the arrangements for going to the outer star field in ten days, and then explained to him in detail what his mission to the outer star field was.
Compared with the previous two people Shen Qiao and Wei Chuyang, Duan Lishu seemed more calm. Even if he knew that he was going to the outer star field to grab something, the expression on Duan Lishu's face did not change. No matter how Long Jihuai arranged it, he would Listen quietly.
After finishing the matter, Long Jihuai said: "There is no need to bring too many people. Wei Chuyang will come to help in ten days. You can just bring two or three more people. It is not good to bring too many people for this mission."
Duan Lishu nodded, and Long Jihuai continued: "You don't have to do anything when you arrive in the outer star field. You just follow from a distance. Remember not to expose your identity, and don't let anyone find out that you have appeared in the outer star field. Been there."
Duan Lishu nodded solemnly: "Understood."
After the communication ended, Duan Lishu sat in his office and thought for a while, and finally took the initiative to contact Long Jiu.
Long Jiu was lying down in the dormitory at this time. She was a little surprised after receiving the communication from Duan Lishu, but after listening to Duan Lishu's words, she realized that it turned out to be about going to the outer star field. .
Duan Lishu's attitude has not changed much from before. He is just a little more polite, but his tone is still gentle: "The commander-in-chief is not allowed to bring too many people. Commander Wei from the Xingce Army has come to help, and I will bring two or three more people." Just one person will do. I think your identity will definitely be revealed by then, so it’s best to bring two or three candidates that you can trust. Do you have any candidates of your own?”
Long Jiu thought for a while and said, "Then take my three companions with me. They came to Xuefu Star with me, and they already know my identity."
"Okay, let's just have the three of them." Duan Lishu seemed to smile, "I heard that your three friends are currently staying in Ge Yang's team, and they are probably still patrolling the galaxy at the moment, right? I will contact Ge Yang later and ask him to lead the team back as soon as possible."
"Okay." Long Jiu nodded.
After that, both of them fell silent, as if they didn't know what else to say.
Long Jiu felt that the silent atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she wanted to say that that was it. However, before she could speak, Duan Lishu on the other side suddenly said: "I'd better call you Jiu Jiu, of course." As if he was afraid of Long Jiu. Jiu misunderstood, he explained; "It's not Jiujiu, it's your Jiu."
Duan Lishu's nervous explanation made Long Jiu laugh, and it also diluted the previous embarrassment. Long Jiu's tone gradually became more natural: "Uncle Duan, don't be nervous. I understand what you mean. You can call me whatever you want. I don't have it." Opinion."
The cry of 'Uncle Duan' made Duan Lishu's eyes heat up. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'm not nervous. You can play by yourself first. I have to make some arrangements for the mission in ten days."
Long Jiu smiled and said: "Okay, uncle Duan, go and do your work. Bye~~"
After saying that, he waved his little paw, which made Duan Lishu laugh.
After the two of them finished communicating, Long Jiu continued to go to bed and rolled around happily holding the quilt.
I don’t know what she was enjoying, but at the end, she heard a muffled thud. Long Jiu rolled too far and fell under the bed with a thud.
