"You...... What the hell do you want to do? ”

Seeing that Lu Yang was silent for a long time, Shui Peach finally couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "That's the case, I found you a student." ”

Peach: "? ”

He explained: "There is a little girl, and I want you to be her teacher and protect her safety by the way. ”

Peach looked ugly: "Who is the enemy?" How can I protect someone you can't protect? ”

Finding out that she had misunderstood, Lu Yang said: "No, it's not that I can't protect it, and I don't have any enemies, it's just that I'm leaving soon." ”

"Then why don't you take her away?"

"Actually, I don't know her well, she is a native of Zu'an, and she will definitely not go with me."

After listening to Lu Yang's explanation, Peach was even more confused.

Lu Yang talked about what happened before: "That's it, that girl's character may get into trouble in the future, so I hope you will be her backer." ”

The corners of her mouth twitched: "It turns out that you are still a good person?" ”

"Of course, in my hometown, my reputation is very loud."

Planck, his men, and the Dragonslayer had something to say about it......

Speaking of this, Peach was a little curious: "Your hometown? Where? ”

"Billgewater."

"Bilgewater?" Peach's voice unconsciously improved a few points.

"yes."

I believe in thy wickedness, great good man of Bilgewater, and a deceiver...... The peach belly slandered for a while, and the vigilance against Lu Yang in his heart deepened.

What kind of place Bilgewater was, she knew very well that it was definitely not a good kind of person who came from.

She thought silently, it seems that no matter whether this person has a problem with letting him accept that little girl as a student, she has to agree first, otherwise......

Peach has a strong premonition that once she refuses, she may not be able to leave this laboratory today.

She is a scientific maniac, not a martial arts maniac, nor a soldier, and she doesn't have the idea of preferring to die before she is touched to the bottom line.

Seeing that she was almost thinking about it, Lu Yang spoke again: "So, do you agree, or don't you agree?" ”

Under the eaves, Peach nodded calmly: "No problem." ”

Lu Yang applauded: "Very good, very correct choice, you don't have to die, and I don't have to continue to trouble." ”

He's really in a good mood right now.

If Peach doesn't agree, then the next situation will be very troublesome, and he may have to face the double trouble of tracking down and continuing to find the right person from the Academy of Science and Magic, which is a headache to think about.

Lu Yang was in a good mood, and he no longer hid: "Tell me, what is the current situation of your project?" ”

Shui Peach was stunned for a moment, quickly reacted, and looked at Lu Yang in surprise: "What do you mean ......?"

"Let's introduce me first."

Lu Yang did not give a definite answer, but the meaning of the words also confirmed her guess, the peach was in good spirits, I thought that there was no hope after the failure, but I didn't expect another village.

"Whoa...... Croaking and grunting......"

"Stop, stop." Lu Yang didn't listen to a few words, so he quickly interrupted her, and the bunch of proper nouns that popped out of her mouth made him feel foggy and confused.

"You say, what step are you doing? How does it compare to other people's research? How far are we from success? ”

Peach was silent for a while: "Compared to others, my research is undoubtedly the farthest, as for how far from success......"

"Huh?"

She sighed: "I don't know, I don't see where the exit to success is." ”

Lu Yang was not surprised, he pointed out sharply: "This is the reason why you don't have enough funds." ”

Peach nodded dejectedly, this project was not only her chance to make a name for herself, but also the question of whether her beloved sister could survive, and when she got the news of the college's decision to cut her funding, she almost went wild.

This is also her willingness to go out in person to snatch funds, otherwise, a foreigner like Lu Yang would not be able to see her at all, let alone be tempted to play in person.

Lu Yang shook his head, this is a bottomless pit, no wonder it seems that a project with such great potential is in charge of a senior professor from the Academy of Science and Magic, but the funding is difficult to this extent.

From some background stories, it can also be inferred that even after ten years, the research on peaches still did not succeed. Or maybe she gave up on the project after her sister died.

In fact, Lu Yang was skeptical about the value prospect of this project, which was one of the reasons why he did not hesitate to reject the peach in the first place.

Hex's heart can indeed be invented, and there are two successful examples that Lu Yang knows of alone, but he doubts that this project has no possibility of promotion at all.

Lu Yang has a conjecture......

"Have you ever tried natural hex crystals?"

Honey raised her eyelids: "Natural Hex Crystal? Do you know what natural hex crystal means? With my little money, how can I afford to use natural crystals! ”

No wonder......

The heart is one of the centers of the human body, how can it be replaced by simple mechanical products?

Lu Yang guessed that the basic requirement for the success of Hex's heart was to use natural Hex Crystal as the center.

Once this speculation comes true, the value of the project will be greatly reduced.

This is not only because of the limited number of natural hex crystals, but also because each natural crystal is unique.

This means that each Hex Heart requires different drawings, each one requires a huge amount of investment, and it is likely that there will be problems with customization and fit, each of which represents a huge risk and uncertainty that will be devastating to the value of the Hex Heart project.

"Do you know where natural Hex Crystals come from?"

At the mention of this question, Peach became very interested, looked up and asked, "You know?" ”

"Of course." Lu Yang nodded: "There is an ancient intelligent creature called the Shell Human Race, and they live in Shurima. ”

Peach clearly understood something, and her eyes lit up.

It's not a loss to be a mad scientist......

After a sneer, Lu Yang continued: "The reason why so few people have heard of them now is because during the Rune War, in order to avoid the disaster, they all went into the depths of the desert to sleep, intending to reappear after the extinction of the human race. ”

"Oh, by the way, the shell people all have long lifespans, and their natural lifespan is thousands of years. Moreover, even death does not mean the end of their lives, because of something they call the Crystal of Life. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yang glanced at the peach, and happened to meet her inquiring gaze, he nodded: "That's right, this is what you call the Hex Crystal." ”

"Long before humans set foot in Shurima, that desert was filled with unrestrained primitive magical power. Somewhere in the middle of a cliff, there is a hidden canyon. There, the ancient Shell Folk unearthed the primordial crystals of the depths of the desert and fused them with them to gain power, magic, and a long lifespan. And when they die, their consciousness will be stored in the crystal for a long time. ”

"Do you know what that means? This means that each Hex Crystal has some degree of self-awareness, and it can even be said that it is a special kind of life. ”

"For the shell people, only by finding a crystal that can respond to their desires and fit with them can they merge with it."

After listening to Lu Yang's story, Peach was speechless for a long time, with obsession and fanaticism on her face.

Finally, Lu Yang said his final guess: "So, I wonder if only natural Hex Crystals can meet the needs of making hearts." ”

Peach blinked, and a touch of ecstasy welled up on her face.
