"Maybe it's because he's running out of ideas?" Nuno stretched out his hand and put his fingers as flawless as green onions: "Aunt Wei, too, when they were doing research, because of the exhaustion of ideas, sometimes there was no progress for several weeks in a row. ”

"Also, for example, in the middle of an important project, if he gets stuck for some reason, it will also prevent him from completing it for a long time." The girl took stock of the possibilities and helped Ke Bowen exonerate.

"Question one, how much has the mechanical structure developed in the last decade?" Chen Yi did not directly refute the possibility raised by the girl, but asked the question on his own.

"Question two, in what year did the definition of the Adept begin to be gradually popularized?" He stood up and did not look at the girl.

"Last question, when did Ke Bowen come out of the props department and gradually become secluded?"

Chen Yi's three questions suddenly made the girl speechless, although she didn't know how much progress had been made in terms of mechanical structure, but the latter two answers pointed to the same goal.

The fourth year of the twenty-first century.

"I asked Zhou Yeyu, and he is also a good expert in mechanical design, there is no doubt about that." Chen Yi didn't let the girl answer, and answered the question by himself: "He told me that Ke Bowen's profound attainments in machinery can be said to be unprecedented, and even after twenty years, it will not be outdated, and when designing, it has very good scalability." ”

The so-called scalability means that if some technologies can make breakthroughs in a certain aspect in the future, they can also get their own position through the port plane provided in advance. Chen Yi turned his head and looked at the girl: "A three-meter-high power armor, in his hands, is like a pile of blocks, you can modify it as you want." Even the earliest design drawings only need to be slightly modified to perfectly replace the latest technology. With a steady stream of orders, how many possibilities do you think it's because of the depletion of ideas or the lack of technology? ”

"I don't understand mechanical things, but Zhou Yeyu does, and he told me that as long as Ke Bowen's head wasn't run over by a tank, this situation was basically impossible." Chen Yi's eyes were blazing, so that the girl couldn't look directly: "I think you already know the answers to the second and third ones, and now that we have enough clues, can you come up with the answer?" ”

"Perhaps, I would like to suggest two more things: first, Ke Bowen's design style, from an original style that focuses on performance, has now completely transformed into a complete reproduction of the body in some film and television works - surprisingly, the vast majority of them are either metal life forms or robots; Second, among all Ke Bowen's bodies, the two that look the most humanoid on the outside are ten or a hundred times more expensive than the previous gigantic designs in terms of cost and precision. ”

The girl fell silent, and Chen Yi raised his head to look at the ceiling: "So, my answer is: Ke Bowen lost his human identity because at the beginning of the century, after the definition of the supernatural was promoted, which led to his lack of self-identity and a strong desire for identity. ”

"That's why I said I was so cruel, and I wanted to preserve his fighting power." Chen Yi lowered his head, crossed his fingers with his hands, and pressed his forehead: "I actually ignored his spiritual feelings." ”

"I think you're thinking too much." After being silent for a while, Nuno said: "Ke Bowen has not been in the special service team for a day or two, but he is stronger than all of you, experienced, and experienced old-timers, so he will not be so vulnerable. ”

"He's certainly not going to be so vulnerable, because he doesn't have the time, he doesn't have the qualifications." Chen Yi stood up and took a deep breath: "He is not qualified to be vulnerable, he has no time to be vulnerable, and he does not have the mood to be vulnerable." ”

"Why shouldn't I?" Chen Yi thought of himself, what he needed to protect, and what he needed to bear. So I also cheered myself up and began to experiment according to the established plan.

"Now, Nono, help me find information, I need two candidates who can still maintain their combat effectiveness on the surface of the moon." The three-phase metamorphosis metal covered the surface of Chen Yi's body, forming a beautiful metal shell: "Don't have a special body shape, and it's best to have good physical fitness." ”

"Then, I need to do a test with Xingchen Sand, you are optimistic about Xibei and the little pumpkin head, don't interfere with me." The glittering figure took two steps and stood on the empty floor of the living room, then around him, several successive metal walls isolated him from his surroundings.

In the middle of the metal wall, Chen Yi opened the box containing the Star Sand, and his ability energy was drained at a surprising rate.

The protection of the three-phase changing metal seems to have no effect on the Star Sand at all, as if

However, although the Star Sand flashed an unstable light for a while during this process, it still did not explode in the end.

"It seems that I am right, as long as I only consume a little bit of my ability energy, I can keep the Star Sand from exploding." Chen Yi was talking to himself like this, while trying to move his body.

However, the three-phase altered metal, which was originally light and close to the body and controlled by Chen Yi in a semi-liquid state, was now interfering with his actions like a heavy cage.

It's as if those clothes that used to be light gauze and thin suddenly become extremely heavy, like concrete pouring over the walls.

That's not a good feeling. Chen Yi sneered, and then tried to use the power of his muscles to fight against the three-phase metamorphosis metal that could have been controlled by instinct.

Fortunately, after a difficult attempt, Chen Yi succeeded. Although the energy of the three-phase metamorphosis metal in its original liquid state is absorbed, it does not completely become a hard metal, but maintains its stability in the form of liquid crystals.

In other words, even if Chen Yi lost his own control, after the three-phase changing metal met Xingchen Sand, it would not turn his gentle protective device into a sealed steel cage - it would just turn into heavy armor.

"Well, at least that's good news." Chen Yi was still and waited silently for a moment, then he felt his depleted energy begin to gradually recover, and he skillfully controlled the three-phase transfiguration metal that protected his cheeks to open a gap that allowed him to see his surroundings.

As expected, according to Chen Yi's previous plan, the small box where Xingchensha was placed had been closed - with a simple mechanical timer, even Xingchensha could not stop the gears and springs.

Chen Yi gathered up the three-phase altered metal covering his body, as well as the three-phase altered metal that formed the metal secret room, sealed it into the card again, and sat down.

"Star Sands is a terrible thing." Chen Yi sucked his face and said helplessly to the girl: "My ability was drained almost immediately, and I couldn't use it at all." The only good news is that if I set the three-phase metamorphosis metal to a certain state in advance, it will not change form due to the extraction of energy, such as solidifying into a hard mass, which will not happen for the time being. ”

"But that's just your calculation for a tiny fraction of the Star Sands, isn't it?" Nuno kissed the man's cheek: "It's better to be fully prepared, safety first." ”

"I've thought of this too, but now we are inexperienced - the theoretical data of Xingchensha can be found everywhere, but only after the real try, can we know the problem." Chen Yi smiled, hugged the girl, and suddenly remembered something: "Yes, Ke Bowen probably didn't have to sleep today!" ”

"You mean, let him design a new type of power armor for lunar combat?" Nuno immediately understood what the man meant, and laughed: "Indeed, this is also a good way to let him not have so much time to think about it, you talk to him, I will find you a new team here." ”

Yi nodded and connected to Ke Bowen's communication: "Ke Bowen, I think we need your wisdom. ”

"What are the requirements?" Ke Bowen's tone was a little stiff, but it was much better than not saying a word before.

"That's what I thought." Chen Yi put forward his own requirements: "I hope you can design a large body that can survive on the surface of the moon for a long time, whether it is four-legged or tracked, I hope he can provide enough combat power and armor." ”

"It's a bit difficult, your mission is to go to the surface of the moon to find the star sand, it's a long process, and you need to consider your survival situation, as well as energy supply." Ke Bowen's words were a little more than before, but Chen Yi was still keenly aware that he was indeed at a low ebb—your mission.

"We can operate this body in power armor with a life-sustaining system, but I think that because of the complex environment of Xingchensha and the moon, I need an energy system that is stable enough for Xingchensha - stable enough that it won't stop all the equipment that needs energy supply because of the lack of power just because I find Xingchensha." Chen Yi thought about it, compared to those who were hostile to the ability, this was the most important factor.

"This energy source is confirmed to exist, and you can refer to the Demon Hunter Organization's mining method for Star Sand." Ke Bowen quickly replied: "There is no need to worry about other aspects, what you really need to do is only to kill the enemy, not to mine minerals." Chen Yi also wanted this, he nodded and agreed.
