Chapter 61: Awakening
Birthday dinner.
The dinner was full of joy, and the only discordant episode was that when Xiang Pojun first appeared, he received a heavy slap in the face.
Syllable!
Xiang Hong's fierce slap not only left crimson finger marks on Xiang Pojun's face, but also made the guests silent for a while.
"You have to remember that war is not a game, let alone a child's play!" Xiang Hong stared at his grandson, with an angry face, "The children of the Xiang family are not afraid of defeat or death, but they must not die so stupidly!"
"Grandpa, I see. Xiang Pojun also realized his mistake, his expression was ashamed, and he nodded heavily.
"Starting this month, the half-year consumption will be cancelled. Xiang Hong said solemnly.
"Half a year?" Xiang Pojun was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, my prison has just been ......"
"What, have an opinion?" Xiang Hong interrupted his words.
"No, no......" Xiang Pojun shook his head again and again, bitterness on his face.
Xiang Hong had already turned around, raised his wine glass, and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality!"
After the interlude, the dinner party continued as usual, as if nothing had happened.
"That's what it is...... The demeanor of the big family?" Zhao Qian secretly admired.
He saw that this was the "rule" of the Xiang family!
Zhao Qian originally expected that in order to look good, Xiang Hong might write down this first, and then settle the account after the autumn after his birthday. Who knows, he has no scruples, and immediately punishes him, not caring about the so-called "face".
Moreover, what the old man values is not victory or defeat, but attitude! For the Xiang family, character is obviously more important than victory or defeat!
However, this dinner party for the guests and hosts was a huge torment for Zhao Qian, and every minute was torture.
Before the banquet started, Jiang Wanning answered a phone call, immediately changed her face, and left in a hurry.
"Wan Ning, are you leaving?" Zhao Qian was in a complicated mood.
"There is a task in the team, and I broke into the ...... with a lake," she explained, and suddenly paused, with a blush on her face, "Zhao Qian, I'm leaving, I'm really happy to be with you." ”
Happy?
Before Zhao Qian could come back to his senses, Jiang Wanning had already left in a hurry.
"Happy?"
After a long time, he suddenly woke up, the corners of his lips curled, he felt comfortable all over, and he was in a good mood.
It's just a pity that this good mood didn't last long.
Wolves are around!
After seeing the "Qiangyin", that is, the "cluster sound wave pulse", the guests turned into weasels one after another, with a graceful appearance on the surface, but from time to time they looked at Zhao Qian's eyes, all of them flashed with deep coveting and longing!
They all know that Zhao Qian is a gold mine!
He is so young, and he has no background in power, but his technology is so superb, his value is simply immeasurable! Some people even suspect that in time, he may be able to develop core technology!
"This attitude has changed too quickly......" Zhao Qian secretly smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The courtesy of the guests made him uncomfortable.
Even if Zhao Qian saw the opportunity quickly and found Xiang Huangwu as a shield, he couldn't resist it at all, and there was a lot of people in front of him!
At just one dinner, he received more than forty business cards, each of which was extremely heavy, and the position on it was staggering.
There is no surprise in this, those who can be invited by the Xiang family are naturally either rich or expensive.
However, Zhao Qian did not hand out even a single business card.
This dinner party changed his concept.
"It seems that we have to re-plan the direction...... Zhao Qian groaned, and said secretly in his heart.
Advertisement? Not at all!
Relying on word of mouth is more than enough!
At least for a long time, the mecha workshop will take the high-end route and only serve a very small number of people.
Needless to say, since it is a handicraft workshop, he can only rely on his own hands, and each piece requires time and effort, and his energy is really limited.
And next, he wants to be low-key and low-key, in addition to mecha customization and knowledge accumulation, he also needs to weave a network of relationships little by little, build influence inch by inch, form a transcendent status, and wander between the major families.
Only in this way will he not be guilty of his sins and be eaten alive.
In fact, unconsciously, he has actually practiced this line.
Jiang Wanning's friendship, Ma Xu's respect, and Xiang Xiangge's promise are enough to make Zhao Qian pull a big tiger skin!
From this point of view, it is a good thing that he was not accepted as a righteous brother by Xiang Pojun, and he will not be targeted by other families and become the target of public criticism.
"How do you say that sentence?—— the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! Now, my self-protection power is insufficient, I must be hidden, not too public......" Zhao Qian's eyes flickered, and he warned himself in his heart.
His thoughts were interrupted.
"Zhao Qian, what are you thinking? Why don't you speak?" said Xiang Diwu with a big grin.
"Oh, it's just distracted...... Zhao Qian came back to his senses and snorted.
Using Xiang Wuwu as a shield can save a lot of trouble, but it also brings new troubles.
Unlike Xiang Pojun's taciturnity, Xiang Diwu is simply a talker, or "100,000 whys"!
Throughout the dinner, his mouth never stopped, and he kept asking questions all night, making fuss from time to time.
Zhao Qian smiled bitterly: Cocoon self-restraint......
At this time, someone came to relieve the siege.
"Zhao Qianxiaoyou, can you say a few words alone?" Xiang Hong walked over with a wine glass and pointed to the balcony.
"No problem!" Zhao Qian didn't dare to slack off.
On the balcony, the moon shines like water.
"People are old, and the amount of alcohol is also poor...... Xiang Hong put the wine glass aside, sighed, and said, "Zhao Qianxiaoyou, you saw it just now!"
He asked this question thoughtlessly, but Zhao Qian understood it at all, and immediately understood.
He lost his voice and said, "Yes—awakening?"
"Awakening, do you actually know awakening?" it was Xiang Hong's turn to be surprised, and his eyes were blazing at him.
"No, I only know the word, but I don't know the meaning. Zhao Qian shook his head and couldn't help asking, "Elder Xiang, what is the so-called 'awakening'?"
Xiang Hong was silent, did not answer directly, and asked rhetorically: "Zhao Qian Xiaoyou, I heard that you are a mecha customizer?"
"Yes. Zhao Qian nodded.
"Then you should have seen a lot of mecha ......" Xiang Hong said in a strange tone, and asked again, "Have you noticed that some mecha are different?"
"Different?" Zhao Qian looked puzzled.
But deep down in his heart, there is a word floating - clay man mecha!
"Didn't you pay attention?" Xiang Hong said, his tone became excited, "Some mecha technologies have surpassed this era, are unique, and have reached the peak!"
Zhao Qian's color changed slightly.
"For example, the phoenix tail butterfly," Xiang Hong said, "its phoenix tail blade wing comes from biological material - 'Biyi', it seems to be a simple transplant, but is it really that simple? Who can control it freely by attaching the mandrill's arm to the mecha? What's more, the phoenix tail blade wing has a variety of shapes and circulating, which is ten thousand times more difficult than the use of a robotic arm!"
Zhao Qian thought about it, thoughtfully.
Xiang Hong was still unsatisfied, and said: "There is also the 'prison' of the prison, whose supergravity field, we can't even analyze the principle, and it is unfathomable. ”
"Hypergravity field, this technology is really sophisticated. Zhao Qian nodded in agreement.
"Moreover, each of these mechs is unique, we can't even imitate it!" Xiang Hong said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Zhao Qian couldn't help but ask.
"Because there are no corresponding components in these mechas, and there is not the slightest trace of them. Xiang Hong sighed lightly, "According to Huaxia's years of research, this kind of mecha specialty comes from the bones of the mecha!"
"In the bones?" Zhao Qian was startled, "What does this mean?"
Xiang Hong doesn't talk about skeletons, but "bones", obviously with ulterior motives!
He sniffed a little, but couldn't believe it.
Xiang Hong didn't explain, smiled, and then threw another question.
"Since ancient times, there have been many famous mecha ......," he said with a meaningful smile on his face, "Chiyou's 'Son of War', Xuanyuan's 'Taixu', Bai Qi's 'Bloody Warrior Slaughter', and Xiang Yu's 'Blood Overlord' of our clan." But have you noticed a strange thing?"
"Strange things?" Zhao Qian was dazed.
"Haven't you noticed that each of these top pilots is only famous for one mech!" Xiang Hong asked a core question, "Don't they all need to replace mechas?"
"What?"
Xiang Hong woke up at such a moment, Zhao Qian's face changed drastically, and he was full of suspicions.
Indeed, in the Chinese Empire, pilots need to change mechs from time to time.
Because, the level of the mecha needs to be the same as the level of the pilot in order to exert 100% strength. A low-level pilot can't control a high-level mech, and a high-level pilot can control a low-level mecha, but it's too wasteful.
"Why?" Zhao Qian hurriedly asked.
"Didn't you already guess it?" Xiang Hong smiled and said slowly, "These special mecha can grow!"
"Growth?" Zhao Qian was startled and exclaimed, "This is the so-called awakening?"
Xiang Hong nodded.
"Wait," Zhao Qian's expression changed, and he couldn't help but say again, "But this awakening is too similar to the transformation of the mechanical beast......"
Xiang Hong seemed to be smiling, waiting for Zhao Qian to come to that final conclusion.
"These mechas, like mechanical beasts, are silicon-based lifeforms?" Zhao Qian's eyes widened, his voice trembling.
Clay figure mecha is not a mecha, but a silicon-based life?
This is the second time that Zhao Qian has felt the collapse of the three views after coming to this world!
Xiang Hong nodded: "That's it!"
"There are very few of these mechas...... he frowned, and quickly asked, "Where did these mechas come from?"
"This kind of mecha is naturally rare. Xiang Hong shook his head, "However, I can't say where the source is...... And I also think it's better that you still don't know for the time being. ”
Zhao Qian gasped slightly, digesting this conclusion.
"Elder Xiang, you said so much, what do you want to ......" He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiang Hongdao.
He knew that Xiang Hongken said so much, he must have a plan.
"I want you to join the Wuqi Research Institute and become Qian Qiu's deputy. ”
