The "click" crack spread outward from the heart protector, and finally shattered in response.

"How could it be, how could it be. Wow~~~" Liu Zhiche knelt on the ground, finally couldn't hold back his grief, grabbed the armor fragments and cried.

In just a few minutes, his heart changed from extreme joy to extreme sadness, plus he had been overdrawing his body.

"Bang" Liu Zhiche's body couldn't hold it anymore, and he fainted and fell to the ground directly.

"A few people carried Xiao Liu back and moved the equipment to my office. Li Weihua walked back as soon as he finished arranging, and he had to report the progress of the experiment to the top as soon as possible.

Two days later

Liu Zhiche slowly opened his eyes, and at first glance he saw Zheng Qingyu, who was asleep, lying next to his bed.

Zheng Qingyu didn't know the final result of the experiment until everyone came back after leaving that day, and immediately ran to Liu Zhiche's room after learning that Liu Zhiche had fainted due to grief. The personnel who were originally arranged to take care of Liu Zhiche left when they saw this, so Zheng Qingyu took care of him for two days in a row, and in the morning he was so tired that he fell asleep next to his bed.

He gently covered her with the quilt, tiptoed off the bed, and carefully picked up Zheng Qingyu and put her on the bed.

"I didn't wake up like this, I'm tired, I've worked hard for you" Liu Zhiche stayed in the room for a while and then went out to find Commander Li directly.

"Xiao Che, don't be too sad. I reported all the images of yesterday's experiment. Yesterday's experiment was not a failure, and the fact that it was able to summon armor shows that this experiment is feasible. Li Weihua comforted Liu Zhiche, who was sitting opposite him.

"Well, in a few years, when my research is more mature, I will submit another application for the experiment. Liu Zhiche nodded, he was not defeated by failure, but became more and more courageous.

"Yes, with the experience of successfully summoning armor, there is a high probability that it will be approved when you apply again next time. Li Weihua saw that Liu Zhiche was not discouraged, which showed the perseverance of his heart, and he appreciated him more and more.

"Commander, let everyone rest and rest these days, everyone has been tired for a year. ”

"Well, do you have any plans for leaving?"

"Go back and rest for a few days and continue your research. Liu Zhiche smiled and said lazily.

Suddenly, Zheng Qingyu appeared in his mind, and at that time, she said that she wanted to go to her own laboratory, "Command, can you approve the laboratory application I submitted, I don't have my own laboratory now, and it is not convenient to stay in someone else's laboratory for research all the time." ”

"Yes, I'll go talk to them, it's not a big problem. ”

Liu Zhiche and Li Weihua returned to their residence after talking, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Zheng Qingyu who had just woken up and sat up, and said with a smile, "Qingyu, hard work." ”

He didn't know what to say, and he sensed some embarrassment as soon as he said it.

"Doctor, I'll go back first. Zheng Qingyu realized that he was sitting on Liu Zhiche's bed, and a flush instantly rose on his face, and he got out of bed and ran straight away.

A month later

Liu Zhiche walked into an empty room, he put his backpack in the corner, and then he sat on the floor and took out the computer from the backpack, writing a new email:

Zheng Qingyu, I now formally invite you to work in my laboratory. No. 6 of a certain street.

--Liu Zhiche

Then he took out a small book from his arms, entered the email address reserved by Zheng Qingyu on it, and sent it.

Hearing the voice of the moving company downstairs, Liu Zhiche put down the computer, walked to the window and waited for a reply, while watching the moving company deliver the experimental equipment.

He finally has his own laboratory, and the experimental equipment is complete, and it is still brand new.

"You have a new message. The computer screen lights up and says he has an unread email:

Dr. Zhiche Liu, thank you for the invitation and it is an honor to join your lab. I'll pack up and report to you tomorrow.

--Zheng Qingyu

Liu Zhiche looked at the email and laughed. There is an inexplicable sense of satisfaction that rises from the bottom of my heart.

The next day

Zheng Qingyu happily set off from his residence with his bag on his back.

"Doctor" Zheng Qingyu came to the door of the laboratory according to the address given by Liu Zhiche.

At this time, the door of the laboratory was wide open, which was specially reserved for her by Liu Zhiche. She stood at the door and knocked politely.

Liu Zhiche was adjusting the parameters on the experimental table, and raised his head when he heard Zheng Qingyu's voice, "Qingyu, come in, I don't have so many rules, just take it easy." ”

"Doctor, what can I do here?" Zheng Qingyu walked in and asked.

"You still focus on recording and proofreading data, and if there is any other work, I will arrange it for you. Liu Zhiche replied, "But I'm not ready here, and the experiment will not start until a few days." ”

"Then I'll help you adjust the instrument in the next few days. Just give me the parameters. ”

"Okay, and Qingyu, you don't have to use honorifics for me, call me Liu Zhiche, Zhiche is fine. Didn't you shout it last time outside the experimental center? Liu Zhiche took out a notebook with instrument parameters from his backpack and handed it to Zheng Qingyu.

"Oh, yes, yes, Doctor, ah no, Cheche. Zheng Qingyu took the notebook shyly.

"By the way, the two of us are equals, and I'm a few years younger than you, so it's really uncomfortable to use honorifics. Liu Zhiche said with a smile.

Five days later

"Qingyu, ready to press, three, two, one, the experiment begins. Liu Zhiche commanded Zheng Qingyu and stared at the experimental cabin, "The instrument is stable, Qingyu, how is the data?"

"The data is normal. ”

"Well, everything went well. Liu Zhiche stared at the bracelet in the experimental cabin and said.

This bracelet is the one that cracked in the first place. The pieces of the armor were all taken away after the experiment, and the only thing he could bring out was this bracelet.

"Qingyu, when the two of us are fine, just ask if you have any questions. Inviting you is not just for you to work, but for us to learn from each other and make progress together. ”

"Well, I'll ask you if there's a question. ”

"Doctor, have you been so smart since you were a child, you have reached the level of a world-class scientist at a young age. Unlike Liu Zhiche, who had read their basic information when he was selecting researchers, Zheng Qingyu knew very little about Liu Zhiche, so he became interested in his experience.

"No, I didn't do well in school as a child. My father often travels for a year and doesn't come back for a few days, so I always don't study hard and wants my father to take care of me, because my mother said that my father is a scientist. He never came back until later. For those three years, my mother and I lived together. ”

Liu Zhiche did not shy away from talking to Zheng Qingyu. These things have been held in his heart for more than ten years, and he also wants to find someone to talk to, and he trusts her. There is no doubt that Zheng Qingyu is a perfect listener.

"Three years later, my mother disappeared too, and I was 10 years old. Since then I have been sent to an orphanage, where I read every day in an attempt to get out of my misery. The more I read the book, the more I read it, but the pain was not consumed by time. ”

Zheng Qingyu listened quietly beside her, feeling Liu Zhiche's mood fluctuations, and she could feel her grief from his tone.

"Gradually, I gained more and more knowledge, so I was able to graduate with a PhD at the age of 20. Later, I stumbled upon a letter left by my father, which recorded the research of armor and some of the functions of armor, which is the ability to reverse the situation. Liu Zhiche's eyes danced with a flame of hope.

"My father's research is less than half of what I do now. But he gave me hope and kept trying. ”

In fact, the reason why Liu Zhiche's father took time out to study armor in his busy time machine experiment was because Liu Zhiche loved armor warriors when he was a child. To satisfy his son's curiosity, he did his research and wrote the letter. But he didn't get the chance to deliver the letter to his son himself.

"Zhiche, you're sure to be able to figure out how the armor can turn things around. ”

"Well, but it's difficult, the last time I transformed into armor, I realized that what is the shortcomings of our world will cause the armor to crumble. Liu Zhiche analyzed rationally.

"What is it?" Zheng Qingyu asked with interest.

"It's energy, like the energy that came down from the pillar of light the last time it transformed. The last transformation directly drained the energy of the area where the desert was located, but it was far from enough for the armor to summon for a long time, and the armor would be shattered without enough energy replenishment. Liu Zhiche explained.

"That's a real problem. I don't know if the energy contained in the sea will work. Zheng Qingyu thought of the energy of the sea.

"I'm afraid not, I can feel that they are two different energies, and the armor is not much better summoned at sea than it is summoned in the desert. What the armor requires is a higher level of energy than is now known. ”

"So what to do?" Zheng Qingyu asked worriedly.

"You can only take one step at a time. This matter has to be considered in the long run. Liu Zhiche said helplessly. If you can't find that energy, the armor can't be completed.

While they were chatting, the bracelet in the experiment cabin was spinning wildly, and the data of the experiment was soaring exponentially.

What Liu Zhiche didn't know was that when the armor he summoned was shattered, it was the bracelet in his protective suit that absorbed the remaining energy of the armor.

Suddenly, the lab they were in shook violently, and then a pillar of light fell from the sky. This pillar of light was almost the same as the pillar of light when Liu Zhiche summoned the armor at that time, but the range was larger.

"Quick, stop experimenting. Liu Zhiche ran to the console and pressed the stop button continuously. But it was too late.

"Run. He ran over and picked up Zheng Qingyu, who was stunned, and ran towards the door.

With a bang, Liu Zhiche's laboratory was razed to the ground. The pillar of light disappeared, leaving only the cracked bracelet on the ground, and when the wind blew, the bracelet turned into smoke and dust and went away with the wind.

Liu Zhiche hugged Zheng Qingyu, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he didn't know anything.

"Brother, brother, how did you fall asleep standing up. ”

Liu Zhiche opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and saw a person holding his shoulders and shaking him.

"Qingyu, Qingyu. Liu Zhiche woke up like a dream, thought of what happened before, looked around and shouted.

But he didn't find Zheng Qingyu in the crowd, and no one answered him.

"The ones in the back lined up well and shouted something. A voice came from the front.

Liu Zhiche patted his face, looked back and forth, and found that he was halfway up the mountain, lined up. The person who just spoke in front of him was recording people's information.

"Next. The man shouted haughtily.

"Brother Tai, what are you doing here?" Liu Zhiche turned his head and asked the person next to him who had woken him up before.

He is not in danger, which means that Zheng Qingyu and his situation are similar. Since it appears here, it is safe to come and be safe. He decided to take a look at the current situation.

"Shenjimen selection, otherwise what are you doing here. ”

"Then what is this Divine Machine Gate for?" Liu Zhiche looked puzzled.

"Of course, the Divine Machine Sect is the most powerful sect for refining all kinds of artifacts. Brother, you won't sleep stupidly, will you? The man next to him laughed.

Liu Zhiche smiled and didn't ask any more. He thought to himself: This is not acting. Could it be that this is a crossing? As soon as you cross, you came straight here?

"Divine Machine Gate" Liu Zhiche muttered in his mouth: "Wouldn't that be able to refine armor." ”

Thinking of this, Liu Zhiche's eyes lit up. Then he closed his eyes and breathed deeply, feeling the energy between heaven and earth.

He suddenly opened his eyes and said happily: "There really is, it is still such a rich energy." ”

"Qingyu, wait for me to wear armor and step on the auspicious clouds to pick you up. ”
