Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 165 Gathering in Xiafang Village, John Bull's Ambition

Click, click. In the closed laboratory, two mechanical legs were connected together, and the length of the legs was basically the same as Wei Jiang's.

Wei Jiang stood aside, his two mechanical legs with several connecting wires following them, moving and running quickly in the limited space of the laboratory.

The mechanical legs stepped forward in an alternating pattern, the mechanical feet stepped steadily on the ground, and the efficiency of movement was almost the same as that of ordinary humans.

Wei Jiang stood aside without much joy on his face.

"You still don't look like a normal person."

This robot will have to come into contact with all kinds of people at the auto repair station every day, so action is naturally Wei Jiang’s first requirement.

His fingers tapped twice on the keyboard next to him, and the two mechanical legs stopped and stood still.

Wei Jiang thought as he called up the design drawing in the computer and zoomed in to see the details of the mechanical leg joints.

"There is no problem with the mechanical structure. It is sufficient to support anthropomorphic actions."

"Then the problem lies in the algorithm control model."

While thinking, Wei Jiang turned on the monitoring data of the mechanical leg operation.

The shutdown motor output power curve appeared, and Wei Jiang captured a section of power output data. He sat in a chair and fell into deep thought.

"Commander, Minister Tang sent a message that their plane has taken off from Beidu and will land in Nanshi in two hours."

"The convoy will arrive at the village below at 8 o'clock in the evening."

Hong Xing's voice interrupted Wei Jiang's thoughts. Wei Jiang turned around and looked at the mobile phone placed aside.

"Mr. Red Star, we will arrive on time at 8pm"

Seeing the words on the phone screen and thinking that the two parties would meet in their true colors that evening, Wei Jiang felt a little nervous.

Without the barriers of the Red Star camouflage and the Dark Star suit, this young boy had to communicate directly with the top management of the University of Tokyo.

Wei Jiang was both excited and nervous about what would happen in the middle.

"Red Star, remember to set the alarm to remind me to go home and get ready at 7pm."

"Okay, Commander."

The phone screen went off, and Wei Jiang focused his attention on the code in the computer again.

There is still an hour until lunch time.

During this hour, he must think of a way to optimize the movement of the robotic legs.

The deadline he promised his father was getting closer and closer, and he still had a lot of work to do.

For example, the manufacturing of the robot's upper body includes the most technologically advanced flexible manipulators.

Xiafang Village is much busier today than usual.

A group of strangers appeared in front of the village committee below, and several cars were parked in the open space in front of the village committee.

In the village committee meeting room, the village committee team of Xiaxia Village was busy receiving a team of charity volunteers coming from Nanshi.

Although it was called a small team, the number of people was no less than 20. Wei Jianan, who was called to help, saw several foreigners with obviously different appearances in the team of volunteers.

His wife Lena did not come to help, saying that she wanted to stay at home to take care of her father and to be closer to them.

"Jian'an, lead these volunteers to visit the elderly in the village."

"I've sent you the return visit list. Don't leave anyone out."

The village chief is Wei Jianan’s own brother, so of course Wei Jianan would not refuse.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Wei Jiangan waved the paper in his hand, turned around and said to the young college student volunteer next to him:

"Top students, follow me."

"By the way, if you have a lot of stuff, you can put it in my car."

Zheng Xinran looked at the person in front of him. They introduced themselves to each other when they just came.

"Uncle Jianan, we have a car, please take our car."

"Just show me the way. I have some questions to ask you on the way."

Wei Jianan laughed. It had been a long time since he had come into contact with these energetic young girls. It could be seen that he was in a good mood.

"Okay, let's go."

The vehicle started and Wei Jianan sat in the passenger seat, giving directions and introducing his experiences as a child in Xiafang Village to the volunteers.

"When I was little, I just played. I followed Wei Jiang's father all day long. Every day, I either went to the river to play in the water or went up the mountain to walk the dog. Life was a bit hard, but it was definitely happier than when you guys were little."

Zheng Xinran and a group of volunteers looked at him with envy when they heard Wei Jiangan's introduction.

Zheng Xinran did not envy Wei Jianan's experience of climbing mountains and swimming in water. What she envied was the living standards of ordinary people in Nanshi area.

According to Wei Jianan, he had a hard life as a child, but Zheng Xinran, who was born in the mountains, knew well what life was like even harder.

Unlike Zheng Xinran who was feeling complicated, Lin Benerhe was sitting in the back row, his ears twitching slightly. The name from the uncle from Xiafang Village made him feel that the opportunity had come.

"Uncle Jian'an, who is the Wei Jiang you just mentioned? Are you familiar with his father?"

Although Lin Benjihe's question was a bit abrupt, no one in the car thought much about it. They just thought that he was an international student who was curious about the rural life of the University of Tokyo decades ago.

Hearing the question with a slightly strange accent, Wei Jianan was puzzled for a moment, then answered with envy in his eyes:
"Speaking of Wei Jiang, he is my brother's kid, about the same age as you. When he was little, his father would take this boy, who is about my age, to play around everywhere."

Wei Jianan showed an envious look on his face and continued:
"Wei Jiang has become successful now. He renovated his family and built a big villa. It is much more magnificent than the old houses in front of us. It is also comfortable to live in. Brother and I are so lucky."

They were all young people, and they would naturally feel dissatisfied when hearing others talking about others' success, but because of their good educational background, no one in the car said anything.

Zheng Xinran looked at the old village houses outside the car window, and a well-proportioned and handsome face emerged from her memory. Was it him?

I took a walk around the village last time I came here, and it seemed that this was the only family that renovated and built a villa in the village below.

"Wow, this Wei Jiang is really amazing. I really want to get to know such an outstanding person."

Lin Benerhe showed a longing look on his face, as if he really wanted to get in touch with Wei Jiang mentioned by Wei Jianan.

Wei Jianan also felt proud to hear this top student with a strange accent recognize his nephew's achievements.

"Hahaha, that kid is busy right now, you may not have the chance to see him today."

The car turned a narrow village intersection, and Wei Jiangan pointed to a dilapidated door in front and said:

"Here we are. This is the first one."

The attention of the people in the car was attracted and the volunteers knew it was time to get to work.

There are certificates to be won in this event, so they have to perform well.

Lin Benerhe's actions were no slower than those of the others, but he was still thinking about what Wei Jianan had just said.

'Wei Jiang will be back at noon. He has a chance!'

In the village committee, volunteers from Nanshi University left, and most of those remaining in the meeting room were sponsors of the event and social charitable welfare organizations.

"Mr. Village Chief, excuse me. I brought my dog ​​with me this time. I have to take the dog out for some fresh air, otherwise the little guy will pee in the car."

The man, whose appearance was obviously different from that of the East University students, stood up and spoke with a bit of embarrassment.

When outside charity groups come to the village to do charity, the elderly villagers who benefit from it and the village chief below naturally welcome them with open arms.

"Mr. Kent, do you want me to ask a villager to help you?"

Kent looked at his wife sitting next to him, shook his head and said with a smile:

"Thank you, no need to trouble everyone."

"The puppy only recognizes me. I will be back soon."

As he spoke, Kent stood up and walked out of the meeting room, leaving everyone behind to continue communicating about the event.

Kent returned to the car and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him.

There are few villagers living in Xiafang Village. Apart from the people in the meeting room, there is no one else gathered around the open space.

Kent pulled out a small bag from under the driver's seat and slung it over his shoulder, then released a corgi from the dog cage in the trunk of the car.

Standing up straight, he waved to the gaze in the meeting room, and led by the Corgi, Kent gradually moved away from the village committee.

Looking at the old man who was resting with his back against the pillow and breathing evenly, Lena, who usually had a kind smile on her face, now looked indifferent.

Lena took off her apron and threw it aside, then gently closed the old man's door and went to the utility room in the corner of the yard.

After moving away the sundries and tools that were pressing on the shabby cabinet, Lena took out a black leather suitcase.

The suitcase was opened, with a black notebook on the top. When the notebook was taken out, a dagger and a pistol were revealed underneath.

Close the suitcase and put it in the broken cabinet to restore everything to its original state.

"The progress is a bit slow. We have to hurry up." Opening the notebook, Lena's calloused hands typed quickly on the keyboard, completely losing the housewife look that she usually exhibited.

Wei Jiang and his father got out of the car, and Wei Jiang took out the ingredients he bought on the way from the back seat.

"Dad, take a rest first. We'll eat soon."

Wei Jiang looked a little tired. Long-term mental work took a lot of mental and physical energy. But seeing the same tiredness on his father's face, he still didn't intend to let his father go into the kitchen.

"Well, just get something. We don't need to make it too complicated just for the two of us."

Wei Jiang smiled, nodded, and walked into the kitchen.

The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board kept ringing in front of Wei Jiang.

Wei Jiang planned to just cook two simple dishes, and the rice was already cooking in the rice cooker.

"Commander, the charity group from South City is currently operating in the village."

"There are three foreigners inside, from a social welfare agency and Nanshi University."

"I have verified my identity and found no problems."

"The three have been living in the territory of Dongda since a long time ago."

Putting down the kitchen knife and opening his phone, Wei Jiang checked the identity information of the three people sent by Hong Xing.

A young couple from Ailan, one of them works in the Nanshi branch of an international charity welfare organization, and the other is an international student who was born in Dongda.

"Use the village's surveillance cameras to monitor closely and let me know if there are any abnormalities."

"clear."

Xiafang Village is the area where Wei Jiang has deployed mechanical spiders to focus on defense. Even if there are some outsiders with ulterior motives, Wei Jiang believes that these people cannot endanger the personal safety of him and his father.

Wei Jiang prepared the two dishes very quickly. When the rice in the rice cooker was cooked, the dishes were neatly placed on the plates.

"Dad, eat."

Taking off his apron, Wei Jiang walked out of the kitchen carrying two plates.

Wei Yonghe walked out of the living room and went into the kitchen to get food.

Putting down the plate, Wei Jiang finally found the time to pick up the water cup and take a sip.

Woof woof woof ~
The fierce barking of dogs outside the yard attracted Wei Jiang's attention. Putting down the empty cup, Wei Jiang looked towards the gate.

There are many people in the village who keep dogs, and it is not uncommon to hear dogs barking at home.

Seeing his father coming over with two bowls of rice, Wei Jiang reached out to take them when a short-limbed yellow and white Corgi rushed in from the gate.

Woof woof woof ~
The Corgi kept barking at Wei Jiang and his son, which made Wei Yonghe curious and wanted to check it out.

"Whose puppy is this?"

Wei Yonghe put down the rice bowl, walked up to the puppy and asked softly:

"Are you hungry too?"

Wei Jiang walked to his father's side and looked at the gate that was squeezed open a crack.

"This little dog is quite strong."

Wei Jiang sighed and looked at the Corgi's shiny fur. He had never seen this dog before in the village for so long.

Dangdang~

"Hello, is anyone home?"

There were voices outside the courtyard gate. Wei Jiang saw the confusion on his father's face, so he walked over with the phone in his hand and tapped the screen with his finger on the way.

The courtyard gate opened and a foreign face appeared in front of Wei Jiang.

Wei Jiang had seen this face on his mobile phone. He was one of the three foreigners investigated by Red Star.

"Hello handsome, my dog ​​ran into your house, I'm sorry."

Looking at the person's attire, he had a small bag on his shoulder and a dog leash in his hand.

Noticing Wei Jiang's gaze, Kent raised the dog leash in his hand and said awkwardly:

"The puppy had been kept in the city. I loosened the leash when I got here. I didn't expect that this guy had some bad manners."

Wei Jiang smiled and said:
"It's okay, I understand."

"Wait a minute, I'll get the dog out for you."

When Wei Jiang turned around, Kent clasped his hands together and kept saying words of thanks and apologies.

Wei Jiang walked to his father, bent down and picked up the Corgi.

"They're here to look for the dog."

While he was talking, the phone in his hand kept vibrating. Wei Jiang's mind was moved, but no change could be seen on the surface.

"Dad, go in and eat. I'll take care of that person."

Wei Yonghe was indeed hungry, so he nodded, stood up and walked back to the dining room.

Holding the puppy, Wei Jiang came to the gate of the courtyard and handed the dog to the visitor's arms.

"The dog is well-kept and very pretty."

Kent smiled happily and acted like a true dog lover.

"Lily is my and my love's baby, she is a member of our family."

"Thank you, I'm Kent."

Wei Jiang looked at Kent's outstretched right hand, and raised his hands with a sense of caution.
"Sorry, my hands are a little dirty after cooking, so it's not appropriate to shake hands."

Kent's expression froze, and he nodded and retracted his right hand.

"Sorry for bothering you. I won't disturb you while you're eating. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Wei Jiang looked at the back of the man who put the leash back on the Corgi.

After the other party walked a few meters away, Wei Jiang returned to the yard and closed the gate.

beep~

A video played on the phone screen. Wei Jiang saw that the man in the video threw something into the green plants next to the yard when he turned around.

Putting away his phone, Wei Jiang glanced at the green plant where a black ball lay motionless.

Wei Jiang did not act rashly. He was now extremely grateful that this man did not attack him and his father directly.

Otherwise, if there was a grenade, both he and his father might be killed.

With cold eyes, Wei Jiang whispered in his heart:

"Red Star, take that thing out for inspection."

"Activate the mechanical spider brigade to track and monitor this person's every move."

"Focus on investigating this person's identity and the background of that welfare organization!"

"You can check it in the Samoth database."

The cell phone vibrated. When Wei Jiang stepped onto the stairs, he heard the sound of the green plants behind him being touched by something.

"Eat quickly, you can get some sleep after eating."

Hearing his father's urging, Wei Jiang's expression warmed up and he sat down at the dinner table with a smile.

After Kent walked about ten meters, he took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket and fed it to the Corgi. He patted the Corgi on the head and praised him:

"Lily, good dog."

Looking back at the bright house which was very different in style from the surrounding houses, Kent had a happy smile on his face.

Kent stood up straight and walked quickly. He wanted to go back and start the monitoring equipment.

Use the Corgi's scent tracking ability to get close to the target, and place surveillance equipment into the target's home without anyone noticing, in order to spy on the target's secrets.

Unlike Cap and Harpy, John Bull is more interested in the technology and secrets in the hands of the Avengers.

Working with Ugly Eagle and Little Hat, John Bull had no chance to get in touch with these secrets at a deeper level.

Kent could understand the original intention of the top management to act alone. If he could master the black aircraft and the Avengers armor, the glory of John Bull's sun would shine again!

Kent was walking quickly in a happy mood and did not notice that there were more than a dozen cameras with red lights staring at him on the treetops and behind the wall behind him.
