Although the lakeside scenery is beautiful, the two still have business.

Chen Jianing and Ding Xiu walked along the lake for a while, and then came to a bus shelter.

The area of Brilliant Academy is large, and there are many such pavilions in it, so that students can wait for the school bus here.

These buses connect all the buildings in the college, so students can walk wherever they want to go, and most of them will look for the nearest bus shelter to wait for the bus if they want to go.

"Do you still need a car where you're going to take me?" Ding Xiu was a little curious.

"Of course, it will take a lot of time to walk a few kilometers." Chen Jianing said: "The school bus runs every ten minutes or so, and according to the timetable, it is two stops away from us, and it should arrive in a few moments." ”

The route of the school bus is fixed, Chen Jianing and Ding Xiu want to take the No. 2 school bus, and the driving route is: North School Gate, Natatorium, Logistics Comprehensive Service Department, Student Activity Center, Wisdom Branch Dormitory Building, Comprehensive Gymnasium, Jinghubei Dormitory, Science and Technology Branch Dormitory Building, Teacher's Apartment Building, Library, School Hospital, No. 104 Research Institute.

"What is Research Institute 104?" Ding Xiu checked the stop sign while waiting for the bus.

"That's where we're going." Chen Jianing said: "There are dozens of research institutes in the college, and these research institutes are located in relatively remote locations, mainly for quiet and safety reasons. ”

"Curious why I'm taking you there?" Seeing that he was confused, the girl smiled and said, "Because there is something I want to show you." ”

"I can't wait for you to say that." Ding Xiu nodded, and he looked towards the road by the lake, "The car is coming, is it that one?" ”

"Yes, it's school bus No. 2."

The two got up from the shelter and walked to the side of the road.

School bus No. 2 came to a stop near the front, and it looked like a sightseeing bus, and it was divided into two floors.

After Chen Jianing boarded the bus with Ding Xiu's student ID, the two came to the upper floor and chose a side seat to sit down.

"The view from above is broad, and I will point out some places along the way to show you the location of the buildings in the lower academy." Chen Jianing said.

She waited for the car to start, and then told Ding Xiu about the buildings passing by the roadside one by one.

The number of passengers in the car gradually decreased, and when only the driver, Ding Xiu and Chen Jianing were left, their destination was about to arrive.

"Here we go, let's go down." The building in front of him was hidden in the forest, and the half-height building peeked out from the top of the tree, Chen Jianing took Ladinxiu's arm and shouted at him.

The two got off the school bus and walked towards the complex in the forest.

A winding path stretches from the feet of Ding Xiu and Chen Jianing, and a few dozen meters away is a gate with a sign on the door that reads "Research Institute No. 104" and "Idlers are not allowed to enter", and there is a house that acts as a sentry next to it.

"May I go in?" Ding Xiu saw two men in military uniforms walking out of the sentry post and asked subconsciously.

"Of course, you already have a student ID card of the Science and Technology Branch, and some of the facilities in Research Institute 104 are open to students of our Branch, and some students even directly participate in the projects inside." Chen Jianing patted his arm and signaled him not to worry.

"So powerful?" Ding Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that there were still students participating in scientific research projects.

Chen Jianing greeted the two men with a smile, and the two also waved in response, and they could see that they were very familiar with each other.

"Ding Xiu, let's swipe the card here to get in." Chen Jianing took Ding Xiu to the electronic security check at the door, took out his student ID, and swiped it on the instrument.

"Di~" The instrument rang, and the door inside was open to Chen Jianing.

Ding Xiu followed behind her and swiped his student card, and the two came inside smoothly.

"They're not from the Academy, are they?" When Ding Xiu entered, he glanced back at the sentry and asked in a low voice.

"Of course not, they're from the National Secret Service." Chen Jianing said the identities of the two guards, "Although the 104 Research Institute is built within the academy and has students and professors involved, it is essentially a national scientific research institution, and the level of secrecy is not low. ”

"Secret Service?!" Hearing this name, Ding Xiu's footsteps stopped, and a figure appeared in his mind, and that figure had fought with him on the beach in Nangang.

"Du Chengzhi, Second Section of the Special Service Section of the Ministry of State Security."

This is what Ding Xiu said when he was captured from Nangang and the first person he saw when he woke up and introduced himself.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jianing looked at him.

"Do you remember what I told you about what happened in Southport? The man who caught me and took me to your aunt's grandfather was from the Secret Service. ”

"You mean Uncle Chengzhi?" Chen Jianing asked.

"Yes, his name is Du Chengzhi." Ding Xiu nodded, "What kind of department is the secret service?" How do you feel that there are people everywhere with them. ”

"The Secret Service belongs to the Ministry of State Security, and I don't know much about this matter, but it is certain that their duty is to protect the security of the country, so you don't have to worry, and ah, Aunt Cai Ji is also from the Ministry of State Security."

"Wow!" Ding Xiu didn't expect Cai Ji to have this heavy identity, and now he has a deeper understanding of the academy, "The Brilliant Academy is really like the meaning of the Hidden Dragon Island in the Mirror Lake, it is really the land of the Hidden Dragon and the Crouching Tiger." ”

"You'll be the Academy's dragon too." Chen Jia stared at him and smiled, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

"I'll try." Ding Xiu seemed to have a good relationship with the girl, he nodded, and followed Chen Jianing to the research institute.

Walking through the long corridor, Chen Jianing took Ding Xiu to the dressing room first, and before they went to the laboratory, they had to change into white scientific research uniforms.

On the other side of the locker room, Chen Jianing met several familiar friends, who were older than her, but between their words and demeanors, they seemed to respect the girl very much.

"Is Master Yuan Fang still in the laboratory?" Chen Jianing asked one of them.

"Academician Yuan just left, he went to the garage at the north gate, if you have something urgent to find him, it should be too late to go over now."

"Well, no, I wanted to bring a friend to meet him. He was in a hurry to leave, and he should have other things to do, so I won't bother him. Chen Jianing nodded and thanked the researcher.

After the two went to their separate dressing rooms to change clothes, they then came to the laboratory that Chen Jianing frequented during this time.

"Wow...... Over here?! Scanning his student card, the glass door moved to both sides, and Ding Xiu's eyes were greeted by a picture he had never seen before.

The lab is a big space, it's like a warehouse, but it's very different from a warehouse.

The ceiling is illuminated by a number of headlights, and the walls are filled with cabinets and instruments, and some lines of different thicknesses extend from the inside, connecting the equipment in the middle of the field.

Several large, unnamed steel machines stood in the middle of the field, their metallic sheen shining brightly, and some staff members surrounded them, constantly adjusting with the tools in their hands.

A staff member with a tablet device saw Chen Jianing.

"Jia Ning, here."

"Everyone's worked hard." Chen Jianing greeted everyone and introduced Ding Xiu beside him to them. "This is my classmate, Ding Xiu."

"Hi, Ding Xiu."

"There are many talents in the science and technology branch, and the guy who can be brought to the institute by Jianing is definitely not simple."

"Ding Xiu, I don't think I've seen you before."

……

Everyone greeted Ding Xiu warmly, which made Ding Xiu a little flattered.

"I only started school yesterday." Ding Xiu said.

His words surprised everyone around him, which made everyone more determined in their hearts that this guy might be a genius who could be compared to Chen Jianing.

"Ding Xiu, this is what I'm going to take you to see today." Chen Jianing took Ding Xiu to an empty steel machine and removed the cloth covering several parts of it.

"What is this?" Ding Xiu was stunned, looking at the nearly three-meter-tall machine in front of him, he was very surprised.

"War Mech." Chen Jianing said: "Because they are not equipped with weapons, to be precise, for the time being, they can only be called mechas, which means mechanical power armor." ”

"Robots?" Ding Xiu racked his brains and only thought of such a similar word.

"Pretty much." Chen Jianing didn't expect Ding Xiu to understand so quickly, she nodded and said, "They are all controlled by people, and the body's actions and battles are controlled through highly intelligent computer systems. ”

"Oh, yes." Chen Jianing pointed to a row of glass cabinets in the corner: "Those smaller ones are individual mechas, that is, mechanical exoskeletons, the difference between them and this kind of large war mecha is that one is light equipment and the other is heavy equipment, and the technology is relatively much more mature. ”

"That's amazing!" Ding Xiu exclaimed, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the heavy war mecha in front of him, and when his fingers touched its steel body, he was inexplicably excited in his heart.

"Above is its cockpit." Chen Jianing gently pressed a button at the bottom of the war mecha, and an elevator that was originally embedded in the mecha's body stretched out and descended in front of the two of them very accurately, "Do you want to go up and have a look?" ”

Facing the girl's inquiry with a smile, Ding Xiu's heart was overjoyed, and his face couldn't suppress his joy, "Of course I want to." ”

The two stepped on the elevator, and Chen Jianing manipulated it to lift himself and Ding Xiu up.

Coming to the top of the war mecha, Ding Xiu could be regarded as seeing its full picture.

"Its upper body resembles the cockpit of a tank, but its lower body resembles the kick of a beetle or a spider." Ding Xiu looked at this mecha, he already clearly understood that this was a steel tool similar to a car, but unlike the role of a car, this mecha knew from the name that it would be used in warfare.

"This body type is one of the most stable structures we've studied and applied to mechs." Chen Jianing nodded, "We've also tried humanoid mecha before, but in addition to its beautiful appearance, in terms of functionality, the upper limit is much lower than the current appearance. However, light mechas, that is, exoskeletons, are basically based on human form, because of their good lightness. ”
