Chapter 108: Fire

"Don't be sluggish, let's go. Patch urged Lemon to a van outside the institute.

But Lemmon walked slowly, and stopped at the door, "I can't leave just like that." He turned to Patch.

"I'll give you a shot in the thigh, and maybe you'll forget what you just said. ”

"Tent and so on...... There are a lot of armor blueprints in the lab, and I can't leave them behind, so I might as well bring them back to the United States with me. ”

His words reminded Patch that if those materials fall into the hands of the Chinese military, how will the United States mix them up in the future. In addition, he was holding a gun in his hand, although it looked like a leather shoe and emitted a foul smell, but after the shot just now, Lemmon didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Go, don't play tricks, or I'll shoot you. Patch poked him in the back with his leather shoe and turned to walk towards the institute.

Each drawing is two meters long, with black lines depicting parts of the alloy armor and Chinese characters underneath. All the drawings were stacked up to three meters high, and they were all taken away to fill a pickup truck. Lemmon picked out some important ones, such as the skeleton of the battleframe, the power system, and the control system that could be downloaded to a USB flash drive to take away, while the electronic circuits and armor design could be made up by the brain later, and the number of drawings was finally compressed into two suitcases.

Patch had stinky shoes in his hand and supervised Lemon from the side, and the old guy had been honestly packing the drawings, and he could also smoke his pipe idlely. There was a mechanical skeleton hanging on the east side of the research room, and Lemon couldn't escape his sight anyway, so he walked over barefoot to take a look.

The skeleton is made of all-tungsten alloy, about two meters high, with staggered external wires, and a disc-shaped motor on the chest, which transmits power to all joints of the body through a combination of gears and hydraulic connecting rods.

Patch puffed out a cigarette, looked up at the mechanical skeleton and said, "God, it's a masterpiece, I didn't expect you to build such a sophisticated machine in a humble laboratory." ”

Lemon glanced at his back and replied, "If a man is in a hurry, he can do anything." At that time, I was kicked out of the National Institute, my assets were frozen, and my name was blacklisted from all research institutes in the United States. On the streets of New York in the middle of winter, I exhaled white air and pulled out the only two hundred dollars left in the pocket of my sweater, plus a Lawrence watch, in exchange for a steak burger and a plane ticket to China. ”

"Your actions amount to treason. Patch said.

"The moment you board the plane, all your hesitations are gone. I'm leaving America, leaving that hopeless country. Lemon laid the suitcase flat and pressed it with his knees, and when he heard a snap, the lock was finally tightened, "At first I was unfamiliar with China, but then I met Miss Jiang at a machinery fair, and she offered to provide me with research funds. I've been working for a paper company ever since, and she pulled her a hand in my toughest time, so what could I do for her? It has to be said that the birth of the Warframe was influenced by the monster invasion of Egypt. ”

The corners of Patch's mouth curved, "I've seen that woman named Jiang Yan, who looks sexy and sultry, do you dare to say that you haven't been fascinated by her?"

"She's a little younger than me, and I don't have any other ideas, I just want to work day and night to build the armor. ”

Patch reached out and touched the tungsten alloy skeleton, "How finished is it?" "If you can, get it back to the United States, you can't cheap the Chinese."

"It's just an engineering prototype, but it's big enough to knock you to the ground. ”

Patch was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Lemon holding a remote control in his hand, and the moment the joystick was flicked, the sound of motors and gears humming came from the skeleton behind him, and the eyes on the steel face lit up with green light.

It swung its iron fist, its metal knuckles clasped together into a fist, and with a click, Patch heard a jaw dislocate, and the whole person fell to the floor, blood oozing from between his teeth.

He shook his head and reached for the leather shoe on the ground, and when his fingertips touched the heel, a mechanical foot plate pressed down, the leather shoe was flat, and the fragments of the gun hidden in the shoe were scattered on the floor.

"Hell. He looked up, and his gaze met the green eyes.

A pair of robotic hands pulled him off the ground, threw him into the air, hit the blackboard on the wall, and fell back to the ground.

Patch spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the humanoid groove on the blackboard, which was estimated to shatter if the blackboard was not unloaded.

The green-eyed robot slammed the table in front of him and walked up to him, a pair of robotic hands reaching down.

Patch closed his eyes and waited for the moment of death.

burst

The mechanical sound suddenly stopped, and the light in the robot's eyes dimmed.

Lemmon pressed the remote control, but it stood motionless, the cable attached to the body bent all the way, and the other end was out of the socket. He ran over and plugged the cable on.

The robot's motor is back in operation, and the charging indicator flashes back and forth.

He picked up the remote control, but found that Patch was no longer in place, heard a cough, turned around, Patch was barefoot, and the leather shoes in his hand were aimed at him, "Lemon, this time you are completely cold." ”

bang

The bullet passed through the chest and flew away with a column of blood.

Lemmon fell to the ground, his eyes staring at the cracked phone next to him, his wife and son fading from the screen. "Her smile is really like your ......"

Patch flipped his body over, eyes fixed.

Put the leather shoes back on his feet, straighten his dislocated chin, pick up the pipe that has not been extinguished, and take two puffs.

The mechanical skeleton is motionless, only the charging indicator is flashing.

Pache wore only one shoe, walked out of the institute with two boxes, stopped three hundred meters away from the institute, took out a remote control, pressed it the moment, boom, the institute behind him exploded, the flames broke through the window door, and the roof was blown away.

He smoked a pipe while watching the raging fire, "Lemmon, this is the end of playing with fire." ”

In the midst of a large field of morning glories, the old man carried a watering can, watering the flowers on the left and right, and the roar of a car was heard in the distance, and he straightened up his waist and saw a red sports car coming and stopping in front of the statue fountain of the mansion.

"Yan'er. He waited for the car door to open and stopped his daughter. "Dad. Jiang Yan took off her high heels and stepped on the turf with her stockings.

"Watch out for my flowers. As she screamed, several morning glories were already at her daughter's feet.

Jiang Yan shook his arm and said, "Dad, the company is going to close, and you still have the heart to water the flowers here." ”

"The company is in charge of you, and my dad is thinking about retirement. ”

Jiang Yan sighed, "Why don't you add a younger brother or sister to me?" As soon as she finished speaking, she was poked on the head by her father.

"You stinky girl, Dad is old, and he still makes fun of Dad. ”

She stuck out her tongue and helped him out of the garden and toward the mansion.

"Yan'er, where did you go today?"

"I sent Dr. Lemmon a proposal. ”

"That kind of research only invests in and doesn't pay off, so don't throw money into it. ”

"Dad, you don't understand, Dr. Lemon is a genius, and the machine armor he researches will definitely make a difference in this chaotic world. ”

"Okay, I'll just wait and see what sells well. ”

As soon as she came to the door of the mansion, her mobile phone rang in her pocket, and when she connected it, Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly expanded.

"Yan'er, what's going on?" he saw his daughter carrying her shoes, jumping down a few steps and into the sports car.

"There's something wrong with the institute, and I have to go back. She said as she started the car.

"It's messy outside, so don't run around if it's okay. He didn't wait for an answer, and the sports car circled around the fountain and rushed towards the gate.

Three fire engines sprayed water into the fire, and the institute burned to an empty shell, and smoke billowed into the clouds.

Jiang Yan squeezed through the police's blockade, walked up to a firefighter with a walkie-talkie in his hand, shook his shoulder and asked, "What about the people inside?"

He asked Jiang Yan to retreat to the cordon, and replied: "Sorry ma'am, my colleague is cleaning up the scene, according to the current situation, if there are humans in the fire, the chance of survival is very slim." ”

In the past ten minutes, two firefighters have carried a corpse out, his clothes and hair have all been burned, his skin is black, his eyeballs are swollen by high heat, and yellow slurry is flowing from his eye sockets.

Jiang Yan covered her nose and approached the corpse, her charred appearance was unrecognizable at all, and she could only recognize the ring on the ring finger of her left hand, which indeed belonged to Lemon.

When the body was carried into the car, the remote control in his hand fell to the ground.

Jiang Yan picked it up, the shell of the remote control had melted, revealing the circuit board inside, there was a switch on the back, and when she flicked it, the power light flashed brightly, and a puff of black smoke came out. She was stunned, and the remote control was thrown on the ground.

Hearing a thud in the ruins, the firefighters rushed over and removed the debris, revealing the robot's head and its eyes shining green on the steel surface.

Jiang Lao heard the sound of a truck outside the house, and walked outside the door with his wife, under the sunset, Jiang Yan got off the sports car, walked to the truck behind, and instructed several workers to move a skeleton robot out of the car.

"Yan'er, what are you doing?"

She pointed to the robot and said to her mother, "There is a fire in the research institute, and I want to keep it at home for the time being." ”

My mother approached the wired machine, covered her nose and said, "Oh my God, it's ugly, it smells bad." ”

"Mom, that's the smell of engine oil. ”

"I don't care what it is, it smells bad and I can't put it in the house. ”

Jiang Yan pursed his lips, his eyes turned to his father, who was watching the excitement, he walked to his wife's side and said, "It's better to put it under the eaves next to it, where you can hide from the wind and rain, and it won't get in the way at all." ”

The mother and daughter did not object, and the workers loaded the robot onto a large hand trailer, pulled it to the side of the mansion, and made it stand upright, almost reaching the eaves at a height of two meters.

"Is the loss of the institute serious?" asked Jiang Lao.

Jiang Yan pointed to the robot and replied, "It's the only one left." ”

Jiang Lao was stunned for a moment, "Are you kidding? The construction of that research institute cost the group hundreds of millions." ”
