Exploding God

"patent?"

"No need, because we won't be submitting the drawings."

"I think it's even more necessary to apply for a patent if I can crack the design of this blueprint. Half of the blueprint you see is a self-destruct design, which is the unique technology of that cranberry friend."

"I personally believe that this technology should be valued even more."

Tang Yingqi fell silent, her bright eyes looking at Lu Ze, her gaze conveying only one meaning.

[Are you just teasing me?]

Lu Ze nodded.

creak.

Tang Yingqi's right hand clenched so tightly that her bones cracked, and beneath her fair and rosy skin, her blood was surging faster. Never before had she wanted to punch Lu Ze so much.

The Cannon Queen's fiery temper was about to burst.

Also, why is it that the boy who is usually so shy and smiling in front of me is so imposing today?

Tang Yingqi frowned, pondering the strange feeling she had sensed ever since she saw Lu Ze.

……

"The initial price for the first batch of solar halo components after successful trial production is 2."

"You're asking about costs?"

……

"The carrier chip is a civilian-grade C blank chip, which costs about 600 yuan."

"The central control program is already in place and requires no cost."

"A pulse programming device is also unnecessary."

"Wait, who said that?" Tang Yingqi's ponytail suddenly shot up, her eyebrows bulged, and her long legs, with an astonishing arc, slammed onto the chair with a thud. Her fair forehead was less than 20 centimeters away from Lu Ze's, and her beautiful eyes revealed a dangerous signal.

The Star Source Clock was not triggered.

The delicate fragrance of a young girl lingered around his nose. Lu Ze raised his eyelids to meet her gaze. "I will give you the blueprints for the subsequent halo components. You will be responsible for perfecting and implementing them. You will permanently enjoy a 5% share of the sales profits from the halo series."

Tang Yingqi's eyelids twitched slightly, and her pupils contracted noticeably. Then, she raised her neck, gave a soft hum, and nonchalantly withdrew her long legs, continuing to "focus" on the projected blueprints, though her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her.

"Hmph, when did you start talking big? Let's develop it first." As for the cost issue that was just mentioned, she had already selectively forgotten about it.

Lu Ze sighed inwardly. He had initially thought the signs he had noticed were just his imagination, but he never expected that he would actually discover that the girl Tang's weakness was... her love of money?

This 5% revenue was intended to be given to Tang Hui and his daughter from the beginning. After all, in the previous life, this father and daughter silently protected the Lu family for twenty years. Originally, they were thinking of asking Tang Yingqi to take charge of the development and improvement of the subsequent blueprints. Should they pay her some more for her hard work?

But seeing Tang Yingqi's slightly flushed face, he decided it was best not to say anything.

After all, it's still somewhat guilt-inducing to ruin someone else's enjoyment.

"Here's the blueprint. Please break down its processing steps and load them into the CNC system of the 3D printer for the first trial production." Lu Ze tapped the air with two fingers, retrieved the blueprint, and tossed it to the side. The computer projector next to Tang Yingqi instantly lit up.

"it is good."

With concise and to-the-point words, the young woman, Tang, skillfully turned around, pulled out the control panel, and began inputting a program. After a minute, she suddenly blurted out, "Does this count as me working for you?"

Before Lu Ze could even speak, she added in a haughty tone, "Don't expect me to call you boss."

"Also, when you address me, you should call me Sister Yingqi."

Han Zhen stood beside him like a human statue, surrounded by an awkward atmosphere.

He suddenly realized that he had been taking things for granted. This fair-skinned, beautiful, and aloof woman hadn't even glanced at him once since he walked in... He was treated even worse than the metal frame squatting there.

[Han Zhen, Han Zhen, you're a star student at Shanglan University, the most (shady) main fighter of the A-level combat team. Now! Stand up straight! Speak with more confidence!!]

However, when Han Zhen looked up, he saw Lu Ze's friendly smile as he looked directly at him.

A shiver ran through Han Zhen's body as fragments of the past two days flashed through his mind.

...A man who survived a 400-meter landing without protective gear, a man who wielded a mech rifle barehanded, a man who [Aurora] blasted Qi Yuan apart with six bullets from [Aurora]—do you think I can be tough on him?!

Really?! Is that possible?!

So, Han Zhen cautiously pointed to himself, "And me?"

"You can just stay here and watch over things."

"The first batch of prototype corona chips will primarily target the Fighter mechs. So, imagine yourself as a customer and share your experience with the mech's power system and your needs for improvement." Lu Ze watched as large amounts of information flashed before his eyes at a rate of two frames per second on the 3D light screen.

I?!

client!?

I am a star student of Shanglan Academy, a two-time champion fighter, I...

"Okay, no problem." Han Zhen smiled.

"Also, what should we do now? Let's first study the parameters of my fighter [Heron]. It's from the same company as the [Aurora] you piloted back then. If you're not familiar with disassembling this mech later, just leave it to me..."

"No need." Lu Ze stopped browsing the pictures. The three-dimensional composition with interwoven blue light rotated and stopped in front of him. His right hand, wearing a VR glove, reached into it and methodically twisted, disassembled, and peeled it apart.

His left hand was typing parameters on the console at an almost phantom speed.

Han Zhen stared in disbelief as Lu Ze disassembled the mecha outline piece by piece, eventually turning it into individual parts.

"Okay. We can proceed now." Lu Ze took off his VR gloves, stood up, and walked towards the valuable fourth-generation fighter mech, [Heron].

"What...what are we going to do?" Han Zhen stammered.

"Disassembling the mecha? What's wrong?" Lu Ze looked at Han Zhen strangely.

"You... might not be familiar with the structure of this mech before. Would it be difficult to disassemble it...?"

"We weren't very familiar with each other before." Lu Ze nodded, but what he said next almost gave Han Zhen a stroke.

"But I just finished looking at the mecha design diagrams my friend sent me."

Tang Yingqi's fingers, which were tapping on the control panel, suddenly stopped.

Han Zhen's vision went black.

"I just realized that disassembling it is actually quite simple."

Lu Ze walked past the mechanical arm used to disassemble the mecha, casually reaching out to drag over a mobile toolbox and a sliding lift chair.

Click! The toolbox pops open, revealing sixteen rows of neatly arranged tools, totaling nearly a thousand types.

"You're going to disassemble it by hand without a robotic arm?" Tang Yingqi stood up abruptly, a strange look flashing in her eyes as she stared intently at the hexagonal cone that Lu Ze had casually picked up.

"Because this saves more time." Lu Ze replied calmly. The rotating hexagonal cone landed gently on the edge of the Heron mech's back armor amidst Han Zhen's shocked and frightened expression. With a clang, a 2.4-centimeter-long diamond-shaped back armor piece popped out.

Brother, be gentle!

This is a disassembly hole with a diameter of only 0.5 millimeters!

Just as Tang Yingqi and Han Zhen were both shocked by the terrifying precision and speed that Lu Ze displayed in that instant, Lu Ze's next actions truly showed them...

What is meant by surgical-like mechanical dissection? What is meant by a violent storm?

The subtle red flames in the Star Origin Sea of ​​Consciousness floated quietly, and the Star Origin Clock swung its second hand at a leisurely pace. Lu Ze sat calmly in the lift chair, never turning his head, yet he could casually pick out the exact tool from nearly a thousand objects with a flick of his wrist.

No matter how fast the screws, plates, clips, and pipes that popped up were flying, Lu Ze could swiftly catch them with two fingers of his left hand, which left afterimages, and then neatly put them aside.

Whether it's fingertips, wrists, or arms, there wasn't a single tremor; it was so steady it was chilling.

All actions are performed simultaneously, and all actions are completed in one smooth motion.

The almost artistic craftsmanship, with its flowing beauty and terrifying efficiency, completely surpassed all the mechanical disassemblies the two had ever seen.

What terrifyingly short-lived memory this is!

What terrifying muscle manipulation this is!

If Fu Haonan, the Thunder Bear, were here, and if Dominic and the two Shadow Thieves were resurrected, they would feel an uncanny familiarity with this scene.

This scene—which you clearly see but find is merely an afterimage—was precisely what had once driven them to despair...

Flowing Water Unloading Wind Fist!

Han Zhen's mouth was already agape.

As for Tang Yingqi, her lips were tightly pursed, her fair cheeks were flushed with a bright red, and her forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat from excitement.
