The reason why Zhang Chujiu openly showed his amazing weapon-making ability in front of his father was to further gain Zhang Guangyao's approval and facilitate access to the evil substance experimental materials transported from far away in the laboratory presided over by his father.

After all, as the head of the Department of Marine Biology at BGI and the Chinese research host of the project "Comparative Analysis of Life and Survivor Marine Life in the Cthulhu Mythos", Zhang Guangyao has a good idea of the management of the laboratory.

As long as he is willing to open up the experimental materials to Zhang Chujiu, Zhang Chujiu no longer has to take a huge risk and sneak into the laboratory like a thief to contact those evil specimens.

In Zhang Chujiu's expectation, with Zhang Guangyao's vision, even if the research fields are different, he will definitely be able to see what kind of value the armed weapons he designed and manufactured, and he will definitely be very amazed and appreciated.

What he didn't expect was that after seeing Zhang Chujiu's armed creation, Zhang Guangyao not only showed admiration and shock, but that admiration was obviously excessive.

Zhang Chujiu couldn't think of the reason, and asked tentatively, "Dad, your research topic won't be under any pressure, right?"

"There is no pressure," Zhang Guangyao sighed and said, "It's just that our current research on the life of the 'Crusu Myth' and the evil things of the Void Realm has always been in the stage of pure life theory exploration.

Although it has been widely recognized, and has even attracted some attention in the research field of 'Outer Gods and Their Dependents' in the entire interstellar civilization, because too much high-tech research equipment has been imported from higher civilizations in three years, the funds consumed have increased exponentially.

It has aroused the dissatisfaction of some people, saying that although pure theoretical research is important, it cannot be used as soon as possible to guide and apply it in the field of practical science..."

When Zhang Chujiu heard this, he already understood the problem his father was facing, and hurriedly interjected: "Isn't this just right."

The 'Spider and Octopus Turret' I designed and built was based on the characteristics of some of the 'Crusu Myth' creatures and the Void Sea Creatures that you mentioned earlier.

There are too few examples of your pure theoretical research in the field of practical science, so I will hand over the design drawings, finished products, and actual combat videos to your laboratory, and you will report them to the next level, so that others will have no excuse to compress your experimental funds. ”

Zhang Guangyao's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Zhang Chujiu, don't think of your father as anyone!"

I have been innocent in scientific research all my life, and even if the project is cut, I can't use the results of my son's research to pretend to be my own credit. ”

"It's not impersonation," Zhang Chujiu defended: "Dad, think about it, in the past 1 year, as soon as I get home, I want to talk to you about the Crusu myth, evil life, outer gods and other topics."

I learned a lot about the evil creatures, including the characteristics of the abilities, various life parameters, and physiological structure.

Most of the inspiration for designing and building the 'Spider and Octopus Turret' actually came from that knowledge, so it's not unmistaking that my lab and I are the result of this.

Dad, real scientists know the importance of theoretical science, and without theoretical science as a foundation, how can it be easy to obtain results in practice and application.

And idiots know that the 'Comparative Analysis of Life in the Cthulhu Mythos and the Sea Life in the Shroud' that you are now conducting is a cutting-edge research topic in the entire interstellar civilization, not to mention 3 years, maybe the first 30 years are the stage of laying the foundation.

To ask you to make achievements in the field of practice and application in such a hurry is simply a difficult thing that violates the laws of science.

As long as you are confident that you will achieve breakthrough results in the future, why care about how it will be resolved, and how much resistance to scientific research will be caused by insufficient funding, I need not to say, you also know.

The golden scientific research period of a scientist's relatively strong physical and mental strength is only about 30 years at most, and you can't let you and so many scientific elites in the laboratory waste your time because of the deliberate difficulties of others. ”

Hearing these reasonable, well-founded, and modest, Zhang Guangyao hesitated for a long time with a contradictory look, and waved his hand with a tight brow: "Okay, the ninth day, you go back first." ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Zhang Chujiu nodded and turned around and sat back in front of the computer connected to the external network in the laboratory, and after leaving the design drawings and actual combat videos of the 'Spider and Octopus Fort', he said: "Dad, I left the physical machine, design drawings and actual combat videos of the Armed Creation, you can think about it, whether it can be used, and go." He stood up and strode out of the lab.

After two full days of consideration, Zhang Guangyao successfully obtained enough research funds using the armed artifacts and related materials left by his son.

And with this achievement, he strongly recommended Zhang Chujiu to be selected into the young expert database of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences as a doctoral student in the 'Ancient Cultivation Instrumentalology' major of the Heavenly Master Taoist Academy, and gave his son a thick layer of gold.

And took advantage of the situation to allow Zhang Chujiu to obtain the research group of "Comparative Analysis of Life and Hypothetical Marine Life in the Cthulhu Mythos", an external expert recognized by both China and Mi, and successfully set foot in the Blue Star academic community.

In this way, in less than three months, Zhang Chujiu went from a middle school student who had just dropped out of school to a well-known armed mechanical engineer and mythological alchemist in the whole of Asia.

Time flows like a shuttle, and before you know it, autumn goes to winter, and it is the end of the year.

On this day, an ice rain soaked through the island city of Jiaoao, and the temperature plummeted by more than 10 degrees overnight.

In the early morning, Zhang Chujiu, who had been in direct contact, research, and induction of evil specimens for 7 or 8 hours in the Haida laboratory, in the name of overtime, put the remains of an evil object with a shriveled mouth in his palm back into a lead box.

Although the wreckage was only half of an arm with a full palm, it was two meters high, and it was the material for the evil experiment that had caused the dark power in Zhang Chujiu's body to spontaneously tremble at Jiao'ao Liuting International Airport.

After a long period of induction, Zhang Chujiu was able to determine that more than 90% of the probability of this half arm came from the limbs of one of the former dominators, Igronack.

It's a pity that for the outer gods who don't know how to survive hundreds of millions or tens of thousands of years, and whose power is enough to destroy the planet and ravage civilization, the loss of half an arm and a hand does not mean death, or even a heavy injury.

And Igronac is immortal, and is bound by certain laws in the underworld, Zhang Chujiu can't use the dark power to transform into him, and can only continue to try to use the sensing and research of the stump of the external god to reduce the difficulty of incarnating and summoning other kinds of evil creatures.
