The Technical University of Lure, adjacent to the headquarters of the RF Group, is the Empire's top research and educational institution, which has trained many outstanding technicians for the Empire. Due to the RF Group's position in the industry and its close ties with technical universities, many of them work directly at the RF Group after graduation.

By the way, George was invited by the University of Technology very early, and Angelica's guide locomotive and the guide camera used to shoot the concert video last year were all research results here.

One of today's commissions, the search for rare metals, was sent by researchers here.

Ten minutes after the front desk lady contacted the laboratory through the inside line, a soft and cute blonde Lori wearing a red technician uniform and goggles ran out in a hurry.

"Brother Lien~" is about to pounce.

Lane didn't speak, just raised his hand slightly.

Lori made a sudden stop, stopped in front of Li En, and touched her head embarrassedly: "Ah, I almost forgot, Brother Li En said that Tita is an adult, and she can't just hug a boy." ”

"To be aware of this proves that Tita has indeed grown up." Lai helped Tita straighten her hat.

"Hey, hey." Tida held down her hat and smiled cutely, causing a commotion among the technologists who were wandering around the reception hall.

"Little Tita is the highest~" The roar shook the sky.

"Shut up, you sloppy people! Don't scare Tida. A young woman in a pink dress with outstanding looks said angrily, "So it's disgusting to say that the dead house is dead." ”

"It's okay, Sister Bergie." Tita's smile was innocent.

"Hmm~mm~ is worthy of Dr. Erica's daughter, much better than this gang of dead houses." Bergie nodded repeatedly. As soon as I heard it, I knew that this high-achieving female student at Luray University of Technology was a die-hard fan of Erica.

"Lane, who is this girl?" Elliot asked.

"Tita, introduce yourself."

"That. I'm Tita Russell, I'm from Liber Chase Atelier and I'm studying here. ”

"Russell?" Alyssa was stunned, "That Russell?" ”

"That's right." Rien nodded, "Tita's grandfather is Dr. A. Russell, who is the third doctor with Dr. G. Schmidt, the president of the University of Technology, and her mother is the famous female technician Erica Russell. Don't look at Tita is only 14 years old. She became a full-fledged technician a year ago. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, hello brothers and sisters."

“！” The cuteness of FC Meng Wang Paoluo, that is everyone loves, and flowers bloom. Especially being called "brother" and "sister" cutely, it makes people's bones lighter.

"Sister sister" Fei reacted the most, she had never been called sister before, and when she was called by Tida at this moment, her whole bones suddenly became lighter.

"By the way, it was you who sent us the commission?"

"Nope. It's not me, it's Grandpa Schmidt. "But Grandpa Schmidt, like my grandfather, didn't care about anything as soon as he got into the workshop, so I took the commission in his place." ”

"Looks like you're getting along well with Dr. Schmidt."

"Well, Grandpa Schmidt is very good to me, not at all as weird as grandpa and mom say."

Rien and his companions didn't react, but the others in the reception hall dropped their glasses.

("Hey, hey. Is Tida talking about our principal? How do I feel like talking about other people. ”

"Maybe it's the same name."

"Uh-huh, I think so too."

"Adventure. I'm going to have a point with you dead people. ”）

In the eyes of most people, Schmidt can no longer be described as a perverse personality, he is simply a scientific research maniac, and his dedication to scientific research has reached the point of being unreasonable, and even a bit of a dehumanization. He never married in his life, and his attitude towards most people was indifferent. For assistants, it is measured by their own set of scientific research first values.

The only exception is for Titah. On the one hand, it is because of Tida's obsession with Guiding Technology and his extraordinary talent as a technician, and on the other hand, it is the innocence and loveliness of Tida that arouses his only remaining sensibility. Well, this also proves the charm of Tita from the other side.

"That's the case, then I'm relieved, so what do you want us to look for?"

"A rare metal. The name is Linium Mine, which is said to make the engines of the airship more stable. Experimental data show that the hardness of the Lignium mine is not very high, the relative ductility is very good, and more importantly, "Tita is also a small scientific research freak, once he talks about professional problems, he will be out of control-

_-！ X6

"Okay, okay, I know the importance of the Linium mine." Rien had to interrupt Tyda's ramblings, "So where can I find it?" ”

"It should be the Zaxon Iron Mine north of Luray, the most important iron ore mine in the Empire, which has supported the Empire from before the Guiding Revolution to the present." "Iron ore mines not only produce high-quality iron ore, but also small amounts of rare associated ore. By the way, almost all of the products we make at home are made from the ore mined there. ”

"Sister Alyssa is right. According to Grandpa Schmidt's assistant Brother Rat, the Lignium mine had only been excavated in a small amount in a certain tunnel of the iron ore mine. A few years ago, powerful monsters began to appear in that tunnel, and before enough samples were collected to explore practical use, the tunnel was blocked. ”

"But why did you entrust us with that?" Fei didn't understand, "Shouldn't such an important thing be entrusted to the military?" ”

"Huh? Is that so? Tita looked dazed, "Grandpa and Grandpa Madoc used to ask for guerrillas, and Brother Lane is a guerrilla, and he also helped us find materials before." ”

"I see, the national situation is different. The Liber government and the Guerrilla Guild are working well together, and our empire," Macchias pushed his glasses clearly, "Forget it, although the powerful monster is a bit of a concern, but as a student, it feels like a very meaningful commission to be able to contribute to science." ”

"I know the mine manager, and if I explain it to him, we might be able to get us into the tunnel." Sure enough, Alyssa's connections didn't say.

"Brother and sister, would you like to help? Thank you so much. Tita bowed.

"Of course, how could we refuse a cute girl's request." Chloe gave the archpriest a and grinned.

"Chloe, if you don't want to be hunted down by a bunch of tech nerds. on the convergence point. Dawn smacked Nunu on both sides.

The doors of the technical house in the reception hall were full of fierce eyes, and Belgie, who regarded Tita as the heir to Erica's will, pulled out a large wrench, as if he was going to give the white-haired turban man who was going to die.

"I was wrong." With Chloe's strength, he couldn't stand the resentment of this group of beings who could destroy the world, so he resolutely bowed his head and confessed. Compared to this group of guys who are destined to lead technological progress or destroy the world, terrorists or anything is really not enough. (Scientists are much more insane than terrorists.) ）

"Ladies and gentlemen, the powerful demonic beast that can cause the mine to be closed must not be simple. Most of them are lord-level. A few more years have passed, and it is very likely to become a lair of demonic beasts. Be careful. Lane admonished.

"Well, we'll take notice."

"Don't worry, Riene."

"You're waiting for our good news at Sharon."

"Ah, Brother Lane, aren't you going?" Tita asked.

"I'm not healed yet, so I won't go with me to make trouble."

"Then, I'll go in place of Brother Lien."

"Nope."

"That's right, Titha. We're not out to play. Lane, tell me about her too. ”

Before Rien could speak, Faye and Elliot objected to it at a low altitude, and finally someone called them brothers and sisters, and they must be protected.

"No, I agree."

"Lane!" X5。

"Don't underestimate Tida. She's my companion in Libert's mutation. Li En said softly, "Tida, is it okay?" ”

"Hmm." Tita nodded heavily. "I'll go get the gear."

Ten minutes later, Tita returned. Armed at all points.

Russell built two guided beam shoulder guns, Schmidt added two rail-mounted waist guns, four thrusters arranged in a cruciform shape on the back, and air cushion shoes on her feet were designed by Erica.

Fully armed Tita MKII, attack!

PS: It's impossible to bring a mecha when studying abroad, and the IS of the cannon is much more cute than the gundam.

Little Theatre - Russell and Schmidt's Negotiations.

Two people who represent the best of today's technology. Ultra-long-distance video at an unknown time via the Epstein Foundation's dedicated line.

As fellow brothers, they also have a lot in common, always wearing white coats, never being unkempt, and forgetting themselves when they start researching, etc. Of course, I don't know how to be polite when I speak.

"Russell, you're still alive, old fellow."

"You are, if I'm not mistaken, you seem to be a little older than me, old Schmidt."

"Hmph, you're bald and I'm not bald, which proves that my body is better than yours."

"You've got more wrinkles than I do."

"Huh? You can't see clearly without glasses, it's obvious that yours has more than me. ”

"You're old and dizzy, and you can't see clearly even if you wear reading glasses."

Look at each other for a minute.

"Old fellow, what are you looking for me?"

"My granddaughter wants to go out to study, and she likes your side, so she won't agree."

"Erica's daughter? Don't do it! ”

"Why?"

"That dead girl went to Hamilton, and she didn't come to me,"

"Hey, old man Schmidt, have you been in the lab for too long and your brain is rigid? My granddaughter took a fancy to you the first time she went on a study trip, understand? ”

"I see, it's not that it's not negotiable, wait, old fellow, you just scolded me."

"No, you heard me wrong."

"Yes, definitely."

"No, just no."

The eyes PK for another minute.

"Say yes or no."

"Okay, for your granddaughter's sake, I agreed. But before I say it, if your granddaughter is not talented, don't blame me for driving people. ”

"Don't worry, my granddaughter's talent is much stronger than Erica's unfilial daughter, and she is also filial to my grandfather. You dare to let her be wronged, I am not finished with you. ”

"Much stronger than Erica, isn't that better than you, about the same as me?"

"What do you say, old man Schmidt? You mean you're better than me? ”

"Nonsense."

"Phew, what kind of stuff you've researched is comparable to my Capel?"

"Compared to what I'm about to publish, that's nothing at all."

"What?"

"Hmph, you should look forward to it."

Schmidt said as he cut off the video, leaving Russell jumping in front of the screen:

"Hey, you can make it clear." (To be continued.) )
