The place where Du Kao met was in a military base on the outskirts of Juxia City, so Li Rui inevitably had to leave the base. As he left, he carried with him a black metal suitcase emblazoned with the Daystar logo - a portable suit of armor that could be assembled in a fraction of the time to keep him safe.

And Qi Lin was also fully armed, bringing all her weapons and equipment.

It was still a military helicopter that came to pick them up, and it only took more than ten minutes to arrive at their destination.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Rui saw Du Kao, who was waiting there. A smile appeared on his face and greeted him: "General Du, long time no see." ”

Ducao shook his hand: "The last time we met was at the Torch Establishment Meeting, it's been a few years in a blink of an eye. I heard Mr. Huang say that you are doing a good job over there, and Dr. Li is worthy of being the youngest genius in Donglong, young and promising. ”

"Hahahaha. Where is it, at this point, General Du is an old-timer, compared to the Black Great Wall project you presided, I can only be regarded as a petty fight, and I can't get on the stage. I'm going to get better after this, and I have to help me a lot. ”

As soon as the two met, they exchanged business blows, with hearty smiles on their faces, looking like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.

Rose behind Ducao sighed, seemingly unimpressed by the scene. She was joined by Mercy, but she didn't see Jace, and she didn't know if Dukao hadn't let her come.

As for Li Rui's side, there are only two people, himself and Qi Lin.

Rose looked at Qi Lin curiously, she remembered that the last time they met, this girl was just an ordinary human, but she didn't expect to look away at that time. Listening to Lao Du, this girl is still a super soldier, unlike those who have not been activated, this girl's genes have been activated, I don't know if there is a chance to compare.

Du Rose's space-time gene has naturally been activated, and Du Kao can't lose anything to his own daughter, although he can't activate the super soldiers on the earth on a large scale, but he still has the resources to pull his belt and squeeze out some resources to activate the rose gene.

She was looking at Qi Lin, and Qi Lin was looking at her.

Burgundy hair, this is Dukao's daughter, Rose of Time and Space? Qi Lin said in her heart: Listening to Li Rui, she can solve and carry herself or items through micro-wormhole technology to achieve space jumping, which is very difficult to deal with.

As his own person, how could Li Rui not tell Qi Lin some information? So, what they didn't know was that Kirin knew a lot more than they thought, and even they didn't necessarily know that way.

"General, it's not good to let a guest just stand. Why don't we go back to camp first? Seeing that the two of them were endless, Lianfeng took the initiative to stand up and propose.

Ducao patted his head: "Hey, look at my brain, I forgot when I was excited." Let's go back. ”

As he spoke, Dukao affectionately dragged Li Rui's arm to lead the way.

The group walked through the camp and into an office building.

"Alas, what kind of people do you say are those two who can be received by General Dukao in person?"

"Who knows. But I think the armor on that girl's body looks quite technological, so I guess it's someone from the R&D department. ”

Two researchers passing by muttered quietly.

Along the way, they were not the only ones who were curious about Li Rui's identities, after all, Dukao's rank was a general, and the weight of the people who could let him personally come forward to receive them was not low.

Soon a group of five people entered a conference room, and the two sides sat opposite each other, Li Rui and Qi Lin sat on the right side of the door, and Dukao sat opposite them.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ducao saw that Li Rui, the little fox, was always going around in circles with them, but he didn't mention the point, and finally couldn't help it, and took the initiative to raise his own question: "Dr. Li, some time ago, Denuo-3 detected abnormal energy fluctuations on Mars, I don't know if you have any detailed information over there?" ”

Li Rui made a surprised expression on his face: "I have long heard that the reconnaissance ability of Denuo No. 3 is very powerful, and today I have seen it." Obviously in the orbit of the earth, but he can detect movements on Mars, and General Du has a lot of good things in his hands. ”

"Oh? Listen to Dr. Lee meant, do you know some exact news? Dukao asked knowingly.

Li Rui pursed his lips in his heart, he didn't believe it, the eighteen communication satellites in the orbit of Mars had been flying for more than a year, and the signal relay station between the earth and fire had been in place for more than two months. What did you say to detect it, it was simply bullying him Li's IQ.

Since Du Kao was going around in circles with him, Li Rui naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, so he opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "Ah, that's the case, isn't it that some resources on this side of the earth are relatively scarce, so I will take people to build a resource collection station on Mars." Deno 3 must have detected the energy that I blasted on the surface of Mars. ”

"Little fox!" Ducao cursed in his heart, but with a surprised expression on his face, he said, "Does Dr. Li already have the ability to mine resources on other planets?" ”

"Well, some of the small methods that have been newly developed are not worth mentioning." Li Rui replied very "modestly".

"Awesome." Dukao exclaimed: "In just a few years, he has stepped into the universe and entered the aerospace age, and Dr. Li's scientific research ability is truly rare in the world. ”

"Yes, I haven't seen such a brilliant scientist in the Deno galaxy back then." The mercy next to Dukao also echoed.

Li Rui didn't have any ill feelings towards Lianfeng, she was just an engineer in the Deno system back then, and even in the future, she would exist more as a scientific researcher than a commander.

"Where, where, the two have won the prize." Li Rui continued to say modestly, looking like he couldn't see through Dukao's true purpose.

Dukao was speechless in his heart, and could only further pretend to be very interested and asked, "Since the doctor has the ability to mine resources in the universe, I don't know if he can give us some of them." You know, the Black Great Wall Project is also a big resource consumer, it's okay in the early stage, but once those warriors join in the later stage, the resources consumed will not be what the earth can support. ”

Li Rui was slightly stunned, and then said, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, Dr. Li may not know, but the Black Great Wall project is a huge energy consumer." Dukao admits calmly, with a headache on his face, and no embarrassment at all.

"It's no problem, it's all for Donglong. The universe is very large, and there are resources. It's just ......" Speaking of this, Li Rui's face showed some embarrassed expressions.

"Is there any difficulty?"

Li Rui sighed: "The general should know that our earth's understanding of the universe is extremely limited, and it can be said that we have only taken half a foot on the road of exploring the universe." Therefore, I really don't know the distribution of resources in the universe, and what can be mined can only depend on luck. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Ducao knew it in his heart, and then said: "It's not a big problem, although Deno was not the top civilization in the universe back then, he still knows a little about the known universe, and I will ask Lianfeng to send you a copy of the star map explored by Deno." ”

Chart?

A gleam flashed in Li Rui's eyes, and he said with surprise and joy: "Then thank you so much to the general." ”

"Haha, it's all for the future of the earth."

After finalizing the matter, there was another burst of laughter on both sides, and all kinds of jokes came one after another.

Soon, the conversation was coming to an end.

Just when Li Rui thought that Du Kao was going to give up, the mercy next to her suddenly interjected: "Doctor, I see that the equipment on this lady next to you is a little special, does it contain some dark iron elements?" ”

"Dark Iron?" Li Rui pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

A black metal object appeared in Lianfeng's hand and handed it to Li Rui: "It's this element." ”

Li Rui looked at it carefully for a while, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that you call this dark iron." That's right, this is some special element that I found on Proxima Centauri, which has a near-perfect absorption capacity for all kinds of radiation, and I use it as an invisible material.

Haha, I'm lonely, and if it weren't for General Lianfeng's explanation, I wouldn't even know the real name of this element. ”

As he spoke, Li Rui shook his head self-deprecatingly. Immediately after, he looked at Lianfeng and joked: "Speaking of which, I am very greedy for scientific researchers like General Lianfeng. How about it, do you want to come to me, the treatment is preferential, and the conditions are open for you. ”

Lian Feng smiled politely: "Doctor, you're kidding, I can't leave this side of the Black Great Wall." ”

"Haha, Doctor, you're digging into my corner in front of me." Dukao laughed and said, not caring about Li Rui's behavior at all.

Nonsense, Lianfeng is his old subordinate, when Deno was still there, he was the number one engineer of the Promise Star, where was it so easy to be poached.

After making fun of Li Rui, Du Kao's tone suddenly changed, and he said: "Doctor, you may not know, the Black Great Wall has presided over several super genetic projects, and in the future, we need to provide soldiers with weapons based on their super genes, and the dark iron element is one of the core materials." ”

"Oh? In other words, it's an indispensable resource. ”

"No, to be precise, it's a strategic resource." Ducao replied.

"Well, then I see." Li Rui nodded: "When I go back, I will arrange some more war robots at the mining point for protection." ”

"That's good." Dukao bowed slightly: "Speaking of which, the most suitable for this dark iron element is still a super soldier, why, this lady is too?" ”

Li Rui's eyes flashed: "Ah, that's right, I heard Qi Lin say, what are her genes......"

"Kamigawa Sniper." Qi Lin took the initiative to take over the conversation.

Dukao immediately lifted his spirits, sat up straighter, and then said with some surprise: "Really? That's a coincidence. ”

"Ms. Kirin, right?" Dukao tugged at Rose's arm: "This is my daughter Rose, and she is also a warrior who has activated the super gene, you can get familiar with it when you go back." ”

This old guy wants to play the emotional card? Li Rui muttered in his heart for a while, and agreed for Qi Lin with a smile......
