Ever since Dr. Hohenheim of the Moore Chamber of Commerce boarded the Osiris, Lin Ao had to undergo the doctor's physical examination every few days. Lin Ao grew up in a poor area of West Asia, and physical examinations were relatively new to him. He was willing to accept it at first, but after doing it two or three times, he got tired of it.
As soon as Lin Ao finished his physical examination, he complained to Dr. Hohenheim: "Doctor, I have had physical examinations several times. I don't need to do it so frequently anymore, right?"
"Huh? What are you?"
Dr. Hohenheim concentrated on checking Lin Ao's physical examination data and heard nothing about Lin Ao.
"I, I won't have to have physical examinations so frequently in the future, right? Have you noticed any changes in my recent physical examinations?"
“No cherry blossoms”
"Look! Doctor, you can care about my physical condition, but don't do it so often, okay? I'm tired of doing so many projects every time."
Dr. Hohenheim scratched his head: "Well, you are right too..."
Lin Ao took off the patch used to measure his heartbeat and asked uneasily: "Doctor, you still haven't told me why you want me to have a physical examination? Is there really any danger to me driving Unit 2?"
"No, no, no, Unit 2 was developed by me. I promise that this will not happen. Sigh... I don't have a reason. It's just my intuition that tells me what the physical examination may reveal. And I like to do everything in advance. People...since you feel annoyed, let’s check the metropolitan school once every half month or even once a month.”
"Are you going to stay aboard the Osiris for a long time?" Lin Ao asked.
"I'm not allowed either...Although I'm still nominally an employee of the Moore Chamber of Commerce, I really don't want to go back."
"Why?"
Hohenheim tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a moment: "It's okay to tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else."
"I promise."
"You know that HER was the first to develop humanoid weapons, right? But in fact, five years before HER's Eagle Type appeared in the Battle of Carthage, the Moore Chamber of Commerce was secretly developing the Ten Swords No. 1 machine."
"Five years ago? So early?"
"Yes, and we got the design drawings when we started manufacturing five years ago. The Minmore Chamber of Commerce has been studying the humanoid weapon project for a long time. But it is not easy to make a practical humanoid weapon. Many of the drawings have been overturned. We After struggling for a long time and suffering a lot, I gradually got the hang of it. But just when Unit 1 was just a few minutes away from being completed, Thomas, the president of the Moore Chamber of Commerce, suddenly stopped the development of Unit 1. Changes And let’s start building laser weapons for use by aircraft No. 1. And a few years later, HER’s Eagle Type appeared.”
"Really? You started researching laser weapons before the Ying Yang type appeared?"
"It looks like this from the time point of view, but what surprised me was the machine gun carried by the Yingyang type. We also studied it, and we were stopped when it was almost completed. So I suspect..."
"What do you suspect?"
"It is suspected that the Moore Chamber of Commerce has exclusively sold our technology for developing humanoid weapons to HER, because our development work is top secret, and the people who can do this are definitely senior executives of the Moore Chamber of Commerce."
"Really!? Are you sure?" Lin Ao found it unbelievable. If what Dr. Hohenheim said is true, then the Moore Chamber of Commerce is an accomplice or even the driving force behind this war.
"I'm not sure, I just have suspicions. Some people and I started trying to investigate, but we didn't find anything. Not long after, several other machines in the Ten Swords series began to be developed, and I didn't have much time to think about anything else.
But unlike Unit 1, from the beginning of development, President Thomas required that the cockpit of the aircraft must be designed with young people around 20 years old as a reference, and also asked us to develop an identity verification system that prohibits people of other age groups from flying these aircraft. Humanoid weapons are just weapons, is it necessary to do this? Other researchers just thought it was strange, but I felt that President Thomas had some purpose behind it. "
What Hohenheim said is actually conspiracy theory. There is no evidence, only speculation. But this is very attractive to boys Lin Ao's age. He listens very attentively, and with this concentration, he has to ask questions.
"But doctor, if the Moore Chamber of Commerce is really reselling its technology, then why not also sell the technology of laser weapons? Now, except for the Ten Swords series aircraft, the only one that can use laser weapons seems to be Sergeant Anton's aircraft. . But his laser weapon seems to be different from mine."
This question stopped Dr. Hohenheim. He couldn't find a convincing reason for a while, so he could only make up a phrase: "Maybe HER didn't buy it after getting our technology, President Thomas." In order to prove that the technology we possess is advanced enough, we did not sell it to HER. We also gave away our own machines to other forces, so that everyone would rush to buy our technology and better make war profits."
"But why give it away? Since we want to sell the technology, why not show it off? Aren't we afraid that the technology will be cracked if we give it away?"
"Emmm... I don't know. Many of President Thomas' actions in the past year have been unexpected. I guess his purpose of sending the machine is related to his age limit for pilots, so that various forces can select the most suitable people to help him complete some tasks. …Testing or something.”
"What you're saying doesn't make sense. It's just for testing. Can't the Moore Chamber of Commerce find its own experimenter? There's no need to go to such trouble."
Lin Ao's inferences made Hohenheim stunned for a while. He only talked to a few people about these conspiracy theories, and most of those people were willing to believe him. This was the first time he met Lin Ao like this. He didn't know how to speak convincingly at the moment, so he could only say angrily: "I also suggested to Thomas to find an experimenter, but he suddenly took me away." After the machines involved in the development were shipped away to various forces... Thomas only asked me to work hard and not ask so many questions, but I couldn't help but ask, so I have been suspended indefinitely."
"So you've done so much and you just had a conflict with your boss..."
Hohenheim felt a little dissatisfied when he heard what Lin Ao said: "No! I am really worried about the health of you Ten Sword pilots. I don't know what Thomas is thinking, but I will definitely find a way to protect your safety. Okay , you go and call the pilot of Unit 3, I will also conduct a physical examination on him."
Lin Ao saw that he couldn't talk any more and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, sister Jessica, a communications soldier who had been staying on the bridge, suddenly came in. She was very happy:
"Doctor, the Moore Chamber of Commerce just contacted us. They are willing to wait for the arrival of Osiris in the universe. At that time, they will strengthen the equipment of Units 2 and 3 for free, and provide us with a large amount of sponsorship! Dr. Hohenheim, this must be Is it because of your matchmaking?"
"Ah?" Hohenheim looked confused: "No, no, I don't have anything..."
"Captain Shepard is very happy. He wants to treat you to dinner. Please prepare it quickly!"
Jessica left without waiting for Hohenheim to defend herself. He sat down and scratched his head and said to himself: "What on earth is Thomas thinking..."
Lin Ao: "Okay, doctor, if you have any questions, please see Captain Shepard."
Seeing Lin Ao leave the medical room, Hohenheim stood up and packed up the documents at hand. There is a special logo on one of the documents. Everyone knows that it is the logo of the "Wan Chamber of Commerce", a competitor of the Moore Chamber of Commerce...
