Walking through a noisy street, an inaccessible alley, it was very dirty, and every now and then a rat ran on the coal and rusty pipes, and the sewage mixed with the accumulated household garbage, emitting a foul smell.

On a rusty garbage can, the door number "No. 11" has been blurred in the corrosion of acid rain and is extremely illegible.

Leng Kite, Li Xiansheng, and Miyin Pear Sazi were standing next to a manhole cover, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, the manhole cover shuddered as if it were opened, and then a small head poked out from below, and the two huge electrodes next to the head still crackled from time to time.

Future crawled out of the dark passage under the manhole cover, patted the dirty white coat on his body, looked at Leng Kite with a pair of golden eyes, and smiled happily: "Oops! Captain Leng Kite, long time no see! ”

Li Xiansheng reminded: "Artificial creatures, see clearly, now they are generals." ”

"Huh! That's true! Wow, congratulations! I saw that you were still a captain at that time, ahhahahaha! Future smirked and touched the electrodes on his head, greeting him as if he had met an acquaintance, "Come on, come on, come down and sit down!" I didn't expect you guys to come, what's wrong? Is there any business? ”

Leng Kite didn't move, looked down on the future condescendingly, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a big business to talk to you about." ”

In the future, his eyes are about to burst into stars: "Wow! That's great! Recently, I've been so poor that I'm going to eat dirt, come and introduce me to two orders! What a price! ”

"There is no price point."

"Huh?" The future suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and complained, "You shouldn't be here to tease me on purpose, who will do the business without money, don't do it!" Slipped! ”

"I'm now inviting you to join the Jingshou scientific research department of the Glory of the Republic, how is this business?"

"Huh? Kyoshou? Future touched the electrodes on his head in distress and said with a look of shame, "Have you joined the Northern Rebels?" I thought you were the one of the Radiance of the Republic. ”

Li Xiansheng said helplessly: "It's time for you to update your database." ”

After Li Xiansheng finished speaking, he threw a chip that had been prepared a long time ago.

Future took the chip, pressed the electrode on the head, popped out a socket and put it in, in the flash of the electric light, the electrode emitted a running electric light, and it didn't take long for her to smile: "Wow! So much has happened recently, and I don't know that I've been immersed in research, congratulations, you have recovered so many areas in the north. ”

Leng Kite asked calmly, "So?" What is your answer? ”

"Ahh The future touched the electrodes on his head, and said with a distressed face, "I just don't understand, you were the ones who drove me out in the first place, why are you looking for me back now?" ”

"The Northern Expedition exposed the shortcomings of the domestic military industry, and the scientific and technological gap between us and the Federal Heavy Industry Corps is huge, if you don't come back, it will take at least fifty to one hundred years to make up for this gap." Leng Kite squinted, shook his head slightly, and said in a deep tone, "The glory of the republic can't wait so long. ”

Future thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Kill me if you refuse?" ”

Leng Kite nodded and smiled: "If you refuse, you will be killed." ”

"Ahh Of course, there is no room to refuse, to be honest, I would love to go to the Federation, they have a higher level of technology there, and the research must be more interesting, but it is more important to live a small life! The future was not deterred by the death threat of the cold kite in the slightest, or that her artificial creature had no fear at all, just a machine responsible for maximizing profits, she grinned and tugged at the sutures on her face, "So, the research direction is the military industry?" ”

"Yes, I will let someone design relevant projects after analysis, and you will study whatever project you are given, and you can't do unrelated projects."

Future nodded in understanding, and then said, "What about the funds?" It's not going to be as picky as it used to be, is it? ”

"All the projects you are responsible for are placed in the first priority echelon, with the most adequate funding, and at the same time give you the final decision on research funding, project personnel and technology."

For the vast majority of project teams, these "three rights" need to be pinched in the hands of the central government, otherwise it is easy to embezzle public funds, nepotism, and deviation from the research direction.

Dare to release the "three powers" at the same time not only requires great courage from the decision-maker, but also represents a great affirmation of the project leader.

After hearing this, the corners of her lips suddenly rose strangely, and after pulling the sutures, it was like a hideous demon opening her bloody mouth, her gaze fell on Leng Kite, her burning gaze seemed to scorch it, and she sneered: "I will let the world burn under your red flag..."

The corners of Leng Kite's lips rose bloodily, holding a fatal arc like a silver hook, a fanatical smile drove the muscles on his face, and the dark purple vertical pupils concealed a turbulent undercurrent, revealing a signal of iron and madness.

"Oh yes!" The grim smile on Mirai's face suddenly disappeared, and it turned into the same stupid smirk again, and she ran into the basement, and after a while, she took out a little girl with big eyes.

The little girl shrank into the arms of the future, looked at Leng Kite and the others curiously, and whispered, "Sister Future, are you going to get an injection again?" ”

"Xiao Zi, it'll be fine soon!" Future touched Xiao Zi's head, put her on the ground, rubbed her hands like a profiteer, and said with a flattering smile: "The invincible and invincible General of the Republic, I have a small request, this child's radiation sickness treatment has not been cured, and I may not have time to do this when I get to Jingshou, can you go to the cube to exchange for some fast-acting drugs and directly eradicate her radiation sickness?" ”

Leng Kite said suspiciously, "Huh? I can't imagine that you will still be happy to help others? ”

"Oh no, no, this is a customer's entrustment, and the money was collected! I'm an ethical scientist, I can't take money and do nothing! Right! ”

Leng Kite didn't refuse, she was in a good mood now, and she didn't mind helping people, not to mention that this gang could also sell favors to the future: "Give me the list, and I'll let people change it for you." ”

"Thank you, thank you! Hehe, Xiaozi, you don't need to get injections, when the time comes, take the medicine and sleep well, and you'll be fine when you wake up! The future touched Xiao Zi's head playfully, like a gentle big sister.

Xiaozi was very afraid of the future at first, after all, the sutures on this girl's face were too terrifying, but after a long period of contact, she found that the future was very patient, not only treating her seriously, but also taking care of people very well, and concluded a relationship early.

Xiao Zi reluctantly hugged the future: "Sister Future, are you leaving?" ”

"yes."

Tears rolled in Xiao Zi's eyes, and she choked up, "Then when will I see you again?" ”

"This..."The future looked at Leng Kite for help, to be honest, she didn't know the answer to this question, scientific research and military industry, how many people have never walked out of the laboratory in their lives, who knows when.

Leng Kite was silent for a while, and said calmly: "The day the red flag was raised in this city. ”
