Chapter 131: Opening
This state of affairs lasted for several days.
On Saturday evening, Lu Fan, who was bored, continued to work in the warehouse of Wanshi Company.
Because the sales of toothbrushes have continued to rise recently, he was also called over by Yuko to help.
In the company's warehouse, it was still busy, and Ilya and Tao Xueran were not present today.
Regarding the reason for Ilya's absence, Lu Fan naturally knew that for the two of them, I am afraid that they would need time to slowly sort out their moods, so Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the company's warehouse and asked, "Xue Ran, why didn't you come to play today?" β
Chu Xiong, who was moving the box, stopped what he was doing at this time and interjected: "Xue Ran went to her father's company to help today, which is the headquarters building of the Qingsong Group. She asked me to bring a message to everyone, she had sorted out the previous logistics report in advance, and she would make up for the rest of the report next week's club activities. β
"Oh......" Lu Fan nodded, not surprised by this.
Because Tao Xueran had talked to him about inheriting the family before, Tao Qingsong has recently asked her to go to Qingsong headquarters for internships more and more times, and it is estimated that when Tao Xueran becomes an adult, Tao Qingsong plans to arrange some high-level management positions for her.
"It's okay, I don't have to worry about Xue Ran's work, it's much stronger than an unreliable boss." Yuko nodded, and then looked at Lu Fan meaningfully.
"Ahem, yes, I'm going to get down to business." Lu Fan coughed twice in embarrassment, sat down on the recliner, picked up the book and began to pretend to read it.
After carrying the latest batch of toothbrushes from the warehouse onto the freight truck at the door, Chu Xiong stretched, turned on the TV boredly, and then took out the remote control and began to change the channel with a click.
The two beauties of the Wanshi House were not present today, and his fat house naturally felt that it was boring to work, and that image was like a shriveled balloon.
It seems that infected by his state, all the people in the warehouse, including Yuko, look listless. Only Zhao Kejin can't see any difference from usual, because he is the image of the broken candle in the wind and the old dragon clock at all times.
Yuko tapped on the computer keyboard, then yawned.
She turned her head and glanced at Lu Fan with disgust, the meaning of that look was obvious: It's your fault that everyone is listless and thinks!
Feeling Youzi's gaze, Lu Fan couldn't cry or laugh: Can you blame me for this, I'm also a victim, okay?
She looked at Lu Fan sharply for a while, and suddenly patted her thigh: "By the way, I remember that today is the opening day of the Civil Science and Technology Expo!" β
After that, she snatched the remote control of the TV from Chu Xiong's hand and switched to the first channel of Donghai City, and sure enough, this channel was broadcasting live on the expo.
The first thing that appears in the picture is the main venue of the expo, the Donghai Clover International Convention and Exhibition Center, which is photographed from a bird's-eye view from the air.
Lu Fan is no stranger to this building, he has participated in the game account auction here before.
At this time, the four-leaf clover convention and exhibition center in the picture, colorful flags fluttering, flowers are blooming, and various banners are hanging all over the exterior wall of the convention and exhibition center.
Because of the arrival of night, the glass curtain wall of the convention and exhibition center is lit up at the beginning of the day, and the streamer is dazzling, which is very post-modern and technological.
The voice-over sounded the host's voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can now see that the guests who participated in the evening show are entering in an orderly manner.
This civil science and technology expo not only attracted VIPs from all over the world, but also attracted well-known scientists from all over the world.
They will discuss the past and the present here, discuss the future of mankind and other important issues, and robots and artificial intelligence will be important topics of this expo......"
Listening to the host's explanation, Yuko's brows furrowed slightly.
It stands to reason that her father Masao Sakura should have appeared in this venue, but now, it is estimated that Masao Sakura is still trapped in the hands of Ryo Suzuki.
"Your father will be fine...... seems to guess Yuko's thoughts, Lu Fan put down the book and walked over to comfort him.
"Thanks, I'm fine, I'm a man of action instead of feeling sorry for myself." Yuko took the laptop and turned it in the direction of Lu Fan.
Inside, I saw a complex 3D hologram architectural drawing, which looked a bit like a level map in a video game.
"What is this?" Lu Fan was stunned.
"Tielong Technology's underground experimental plant." Yuko replied indifferently, "Tielong Technology has a few good hackers in charge and hacked into their company's database, but it took me a lot of effort. β
Zhao Kejin sighed at this time: "Tielong Technology's network firewall is not at the same level as Shilong Casino, I originally wanted to try it, but I was killed in seconds, and the other party's hacker in turn checked my old bottom, which is really embarrassing." β
Yuko gestured to the row of small rooms in the hallway in the lower left corner of the screen.
"Based on their map information, I'm guessing that my father is one of these rooms, near the core underground workshop, where the succubus is."
With that, she shifted her slender fingers to the right, pointing to a large square underground hole on the screen.
Lu Fan glanced at the information marked on the map, and couldn't help but gasp - the area of this big hole was only a lot bigger than the underground arsenal in the mountain behind the school!
"From the estimation of the area of this workshop, I estimate that the height of the succubus's body is also more than eighty meters." Yuko said with a serious expression.
"Obedient ......" Lu Fan swallowed his saliva.
Two huge mechs with a height of 80 meters, if you play combat in the city, I am afraid that the whole city will be in ruins.
Of course, what attracted Lu Fan's attention more was the code name of this underground factoryββγ
"Isn't this the name of the underground forbidden area of the headquarters, why did Ryo Suzuki give the factory such a name, isn't he a Gundam fan?" Lu Fan muttered.
Yuko held her chin and guessed:
"I guess it's because Lilith was crucified to the Central Dogma. And Lilith has its origins in Sumerian mythology, she was Adam's first wife and was a witch.
In Jewish legend, Lilith and Satan gave birth to the son of the devil, Li Lin, who is also known as a human.
The reason why Ryo Suzuki named the succubus's factory the central dogma is that he compares the role of the succubus to Lilith. It was the cradle of his ambitions and the birth of a new world.
So, before long, you have to find a way to break through the layers of Tielong Technology's blockade, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and destroy the succubus in the lair! β
After hearing Yuzi's description, Lu Fan's expression gradually became serious, and at the same time, he felt that the burden on his body was very heavy, if he was a little wrong, the scientist with the second disease in the middle school would be destroyed.
"I'm competing with Ryo Suzuki for time right now, and the New Century Singer Warrior is still one day away from completing the final debugging, so I hope the time will come in time." Yuko continued to tap intently on the computer.
Lu Fan looked at her with sweat on his forehead, at this time he wished that these two enemies were stuck at the same time, and no one wanted to create their own works.
At this time, the expert voice in the studio continued to come from the TV:
"As we all know, the fair is divided into daytime and nighttime sessions. The daytime session is mainly for exhibitors to display their scientific achievements, and then negotiate with foreign businessmen, and purchase orders are mainly negotiated during this period.
The evening session is a forum for scientists to give speeches and forums, and of course, the topics of the speeches are not limited to the exhibited products or the civilian field, which can be regarded as a free-flowing event. β
Lu Fan yawned, this kind of activity was not attractive to a scumbag like him.
Not to mention high school, he felt that even when he arrived in college, listening to the content of forum speeches by himself would definitely be the same as listening to heavenly books.
So Lu Fan watched the TV twice, and then didn't continue to listen, but sat back on the chair and continued to read.
Of course, because of what Yuko said just now, his attention couldn't be focused on the book at all, and his mind began to think about all kinds of messy things......
A new truck came to the door, Chu Xiong left the TV, and began to continue to be busy, moving the boxes inside and out.
Chen Guangyao didn't pay attention to the discussion at all, he continued to pester Xiao Xuan to shoot various advertisements, and let Xiao Xuan blush and pose for him in various poses.
Xu Yuanyuan, who was painting the poster, secretly glanced at Lu Fan from time to time, she hesitated for a while before she came over nervously and said:
"That...... Lu Fan, haven't you reconciled with Ilya yet? β
"Huh?"
Lu Fan put down the chicken soup for the soul in his hand, raised his head and smiled bitterly: "...... Not yet. β
"That...... You'd better reconcile, and although I don't know why Ilya quarreled with you, she must not mean to, so maybe there's something hard to say. Xu Yuanyuan whispered.
Lu Fan sighed: This stupid girl, why do you always think about others first in everything, you must be an angel, right? It must be, right?
At this time, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he took out the frog puppet from his pocket.
"You forgot this thing there that day at the locker room door."
Lu Fan smiled and touched the back of his head: "After I took it home, Shuangye helped me wash it, you see, now it's as clean as new, give it back to you." β
Seeing this frog puppet, Xu Yuanyuan's little face suddenly looked like a ripe apple.
"This ...... This one is, for you. Xu Yuanyuan's small hands folded, not daring to look up at Lu Fan.
"For me?" Lu Fan was stunned, "How embarrassing is this, it is useless." β
"Didn't you give me a flower before, after I wore it and went home, the elders in the family said it looked good, so I returned the favor."
"Oh, that's right, thanks." Lu Fan didn't think much about it, took the frog puppet and pinned it to the schoolbag.
"You're welcome."
After Xu Yuanyuan saw Lu Fan's movements, his heart suddenly burst with surprise, and then he returned to his seat with a happy face and continued to paint.
Everyone continued to work in silence until about eight o'clock in the evening.
At this time, Chu Xiong saw that everyone was hungry, so he went to the kitchen to work again.
Seeing that this fat man worked so hard, Lu Fan was embarrassed to sit all the time, and ran to the kitchen to help Chu Xiong.
Ten minutes later, the crowd set up a small table in the middle of the clearing.
"It's time for dinner." Chu Xiong shouted and brought up the dishes one by one.
His fat hand rubbed his apron and added, "Anyway, are we counting our weekend overtime meals?" β
"Why is it a table full of eggplants again!" Chen Guangyao glanced at the table and couldn't help but start muttering.
"Heck, eggplant is a high-end beauty product, you don't understand. Moreover, Chen Guangyao, you guy has a beauty like Xiaoxuan, a full man doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry, I finally have a favorite idol, and I must have to practice hard to throw the tomato to support! β
Ever since Chu Xiong met Ge Ji in the classroom, he has been obsessed with her. After that, the singer would occasionally appear on the screen in Chu Xiong's room, and the two sang together several times.
So he feels like a man in love now.
"What the hell is throwing eggplant to support? And virtual idols, you can't see or touch, as for it? Zhao Kejin sat down at the table tremblingly and began to joke with Chu Xiong.
"Cut, Senior Zhao, don't talk about me, how can I say that I can occasionally talk to my little idol, unlike you, the paper man wife in the mobile game will only scold you for too little kryptonite." Not to be outdone, Chu Xiong was not to be outdone.
"Okay, okay, it's the same end of the world, why do you two tear each other down." Lu Fan held back a smile, unscrewed a bottle of Coke, and filled them with both of them, his tone full of sympathy.
These two people stared at Lu Fan, and thought in their hearts: You are qualified to make fun of us, look at your operation, and the two girls in the club who are responsible for their appearance are scared, if it weren't for these two Kanban girls, we would be bored to work, and we would have to tear each other down to pass the time?
Everyone muttered thoughtfully, sat down at the table and began to eat.
At this moment, on the TV, the host's voice suddenly increased:
"Oh oh oh, audience friends, the long-awaited scientist speech is about to begin."
Yuko stuffed the braised eggplant into her mouth in one bite, stared intently at the TV, and didn't care about eating.
Seeing her attentive appearance, Lu Fan said secretly: She is worthy of being a scientist, and she is really obsessed with this kind of activity.
After the moderator's opening remarks, the first scientist began to speak on stage.
After Yuko saw the scientist who appeared on the stage, her expression became awe-inspiring, and her body exuded a cold aura.
"You know?" Lu Fan asked casually.
"Yes, yes." Yuko sneered,
"Since I was eight years old, this scientist has had heated arguments with me on artificial intelligence in many academic forums.
He is full of crooked and heretical theories, such as 'the law of the jungle is the wealth left to us by our ancestors'...... I'll just say that, this guy is a shame on the scientific community! β
Yuko gritted her teeth.
However, Lu Fan pondered, as the opening guest to give a speech on stage, it should be said that his status in the industry is not low, is this considered a light match for peers?
On the TV, the guest scientist began to give a slow and leisurely speech.
At the beginning of the speech, he said some clichΓ©s, but soon, the theme of the speech changed dramatically, and he began to talk about artificial intelligence and the future of information warfare.
"Hehe, sure enough, he and Suzuki Ryo are the same as the raccoon dogs, obviously they have a lot of scientific research resources, but they are full of thoughts about how to use them to fight, so do men never grow up?"
Yuko took a bite of the eggplant in her mouth and muttered indistinctly.
The male compatriots at the table secretly said: Damn, we are really lying in the sewer and getting shot.
β¦β¦
Tielong Technology Company, Underground Experimental Factory, Central Dogma.
At this time, the employees of Tielong Technology also gathered around the large-screen TV in the lounge to watch the speeches at the forum.
"What does Suzuki-kun think of this person's level?" Kaguya took a sip of coffee and asked leisurely.
"Hehe, it's too outdated, I've already made a real thing, he's still in the theoretical stage, this person can't do it, it's just a fame and reputation fisherman." Ryo Suzuki clasped his hands in his white coat and sneered at the TV.
Xue Tielong, who was sitting on the sofa in the back, glanced at Suzuki Liang from the corner of his eye, and said coldly in his heart: Don't be in a hurry to walk lightly, you can prove to me that your things are reliable first.
Just then, a research assistant pushed open the door and came in and said, "Everyone, the succubus is ready, and now the mech is on standby, ready to attack!" β
