Exploding God

In just two days, the first solar halo component was successfully prototyped.

This time, even Old Tang, who was secretly smoking outside, couldn't resist coming in. All four of them turned their attention to the tray on the robotic arm.

A silver "gear" with a diameter of 3cm lies quietly inside. Under the light, the fine texture is clearly reflected. The beauty of machinery lies in the beauty of the ultimate steel order.

On this "gear," this beauty of order has been elevated to art.

Tang Yingqi's face was tired and stained with grease, but the excitement and joy in her eyes were impossible to hide. The moment the finished product was completed, she even wanted to rush over and kiss Lu Ze, but seeing his indifferent face, she simply crossed her arms and hummed, "Not bad, not bad," as the prototype was finished.

As for Han Zhen, he gazed at the chip with the eyes of someone admiring a work of art. The initial shock he felt had, after two days of seeing it, transformed into endless admiration.

He was certain that if Lu Ze allowed him to film the entire prototyping process of the corona component, he only needed to bring the video back to the academy, and the professors would go crazy looking for him. If he had initially harbored any intention of winning Lu Ze over, he had now completely abandoned that idea.

Unfathomable!

This is Han Zhen's assessment of Lu Ze.

As for being a member of the Hibiscus Squad and a two-time Fighter Champion, Han Zhen didn't even dare to dream of it in front of Lu Ze; that was a difference in their levels of cultivation. Now, all he felt was gratitude for having met such a powerful figure beforehand!

We must not disembark on this ship, even if it means death!

Han Zhen's eyes were filled with determination, showing no concern whatsoever for his thick-skinned face.

"What's the use of this thing?" Old Tang asked, finally getting to the question he'd been holding back for several minutes.

"After 107 simulation experiments, this halo component increased the fourth-generation fighter mech [Heron]'s air time by 0.5 seconds with a 100% stability rate. As for the improvement in aerodynamic control, it needs to be tested in the field." Tang Yingqi said with great familiarity.

"Just this chip!? Are you sure there's no added kinetic energy device?" Old Tang keenly grasped the key point in his daughter's words and immediately felt it was a fantasy. As a mechanical expert, he naturally understood how difficult it was to improve airborne ability!

With the expansion of the fog exploration zone, the significant impact of airtime on the construct mechs necessitates improvements, but these improvements must not burden the current construct mechs. This has been a long-standing approach, and countless mechanical experts have developed various solutions under this guidance, but none of them have been implemented in the current manner.

This completely defies common sense.

Lu Ze took in the expressions of the group and naturally understood the surprise of Tang Hui and his daughter, but he did not intend to explain further.

Three years later, when the towering structure stood tall in the depths of the mist, and the gate to the Fog Realm opened, bringing endless danger, it also brought technology far ahead of its time. He had fought alongside many Constructs, and also battled against even more Constructs; his understanding of Constructs naturally surpassed that of his era.

The halo component is just an inconspicuous yet simple and feasible one among countless technological products; I simply accelerated the process.

"Therefore, our agreed time has ended, and your official task is to conduct practical testing and then supplement the evaluation of the chip's mobility and adaptability."

"Once everything is ready, we can start the official launch of it to the market."

Lu Ze smiled and looked at Tang Hui, "Uncle Tang, thank you for these past few days."

"Don't thank me, Uncle. If Yingqi hadn't said you guys actually managed to tinker with something, your old man would probably be standing here today." Tang Hui grinned, waved his hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "But judging from the current situation, I should thank you. After all, these devices are here because someone has to use them."

"Uncle Tang wants to thank you for not letting them suffer. Right, girl?" The middle-aged man looked at Tang Yingqi ingratiatingly at the last sentence.

This time, Tang, unusually, did not refute Tang Hui, but nodded gently.

"We've made two prototypes so far. After Han Zhen returns to the team and uses them for three days to perfect the combat tests, there shouldn't be any major problems. Next, we'll probably have to trouble you, Uncle Tang, and Sister Yingqi," Lu Ze said with a smile.

"I..." Tang Hui was about to speak.

"Okay!" Tang Yingqi said succinctly.

Tang Hui coughed violently. He had been hesitant, wondering what would happen to the shop if he had to keep an eye on things here for a long time. But he never expected his precious daughter to agree so decisively.

This is your own father's life savings accumulated over half a lifetime! You really don't know the value of money when you're not in charge of the household!

Tang Hui glared at his daughter, only to see Tang Yingqi nodding slightly, her eyes filled with satisfaction, showing no intention of communicating with her father.

Forget it, sigh, I'm exhausted.

"Let's meet next Monday. If anything comes up, we can communicate online. Any other questions?"

"No, the machine repair room is already open to you. You can come anytime even when I'm not here." Tang Yingqi completely ignored her father's warning look, leaving him glaring at her like she was a spendthrift daughter.

"I have no problem," Han Zhen replied crisply.

"Then, for the sake of the future and tomorrow, let us all strive together." Lu Ze raised his fist.

Tang Yingqi and Han Zhen simultaneously extended their fists and gently bumped them together.

"Let's strive together!"

……

……

After leaving the secret repair shop, Lu Ze chose to go home.

Upon opening the door, the dark yet tidy living room still carried a lingering smell of medicine, and it was empty; no one was home.

Lu Ze understood; his mother had probably taken his father to get physical therapy, and Lu Ming was likely still in the school library.

Just then, the bracelet vibrated, and Lu Ze raised his wrist to see an unfamiliar message.

[Brother Lu, do you remember me? Excuse me for bothering you, I'm Lin Zhidao, Lu Ming's classmate. We've met before. Tonight at 6 PM, Xingwan Hotel—Atlantic Hall, Zhidao will be waiting for you!]

Lu Ze couldn't help but look at Lin Zhidao with newfound respect. This kid should understand the meaning of what he said last time, but he still sent him this message in advance today. Whether it was sincere or for other purposes, this dinner tonight should be very interesting.

"it is good."

Lu Ze typed a word back, then turned on the old computer. He hadn't had time to browse the planetary geography forum these past few days, and he wondered how it was doing.

Welcome back to the Planet Geography Forum, Level 6 user "The Firebearer".

The number of unread messages flashing in the upper right corner has increased to 999+.

Interesting. Based on the login notification just now, Lu Ze had already guessed that his answer had probably been confirmed by these people.

Clicking on the unread notifications instantly reveals all the unread messages.

2700 replies to his own posts, over 700 private messages, and 8 posts that tagged him.

The first one listed is a thread.

Thanks to the expert "Firebearer" for the information! I discovered a fast respawn strategy for the Misty Swamp, and today we raided the lair of a 6-star Corrupted Swamp Beast!

Lu Ze casually clicked on it and saw a photo of flames shooting into the sky. The dazzling smoke and clouds turned the night into day, and the silhouettes of seven mechs stood before the flames, exuding an aura of heroes returning home.

If it weren't for the fact that the first line uses large, bright red text to emphasize that this is a real-life photo, most people would probably think it's a movie poster.

P.S.: Lately, my readers have been calling me "Strong and Powerful Farewell Song," which makes me so embarrassed. Sigh, your words are just too sweet!
