Travel through Kivotos and become Kamen Rider Saber

"I see. I roughly understand."

"Want to give your new companion a nice weapon as a gift..."

"In that case, joining our Engineering Department is truly the right choice. At Millennium Institute of Technology, success or failure depends largely on whether we have excellent technicians."

"Please follow us to the laboratory near the Millennium Tower."

"Hey? Geyuan, isn't this the place?" Lin Qiusheng looked around at the various parts made of metals he didn't understand, and asked in confusion.

"Hmm... sensei, this is similar to the headquarters of our engineering department. Because some of the equipment we develop sometimes requires some dangerous operations and experiments."

"The seminar specially approved the construction of an experimental site for us near the edge of the Millennium Tower. This is to prevent us from conducting dangerous experiments in the club activity room, which could cause the Millennium Tower to collapse."

"So that's how it is..." Lin Qiusheng glanced at the various guns and ammunition piled together on the shelf on the right, with an educated look on his face, and followed Shiraishi Utahara out of the engineering department's studio.

"Then, everyone, come with us!" Kotori Toyomi led the people from the game development department outside like a tour guide. At the same time, Kotori Toyomi came close to Alice with her eyes shining.

"Alice, I know you're eager to learn more about the locomotive's operating mechanism, right? Leave it to me! I'll continue explaining it to you, don't worry!"

Alice also came back to her senses from the explanation that was mixed with all kinds of awkward words, and quickly looked at Lin Qiusheng with tears in her eyes and a distressed expression, hoping that he could take her away from this sea of ​​suffering.

Millennium Technology Academy: Chapter 66: Sword of Light

"Ugh~ Alice has applied the negative buff of confusion, sen, sensei requesting support!"

"..."

When Lin Qiusheng saw Alice's aggrieved expression, a desire to protect her instantly arose in his heart.

He took a few steps back from Shiraishi Utahara and stood beside Toyomi Kotori, patting his chest righteously at her.

"Kotori, come to me if you have anything to say! Let go of that girl."

"Really? Sensei, I've always wanted to find someone to talk to, but no one is willing to listen. I, I will do my best!"

Toyomi Kotori's breathing became slightly rapid, her eyes curved upwards like crescent moons, and before he could answer, she began to speak quickly.

"Sensei, actually, when we were researching that motorcycle, we had no idea what the object would look like."

"Plus, the power used by this motorcycle is a system we are completely unfamiliar with, so the initial design was extremely difficult..."

"...Yeah." Lin Qiusheng walked slowly forward behind Shiraishi Utahara and others from the game development department, nodding numbly and responding to Tomi Kotori who was becoming more and more excited beside him.

I always feel that it’s not bad to empty my mind like this, but I feel a little sleepy.

Lin Qiusheng yawned lazily, walked out of the elevator, and followed everyone towards the outside of the Millennium Tower.

Keep walking along the road in front of him. When passing a fork in the road, Shiraishi Utahara walked to the left, and the students of Millennium Science and Technology College on the street gradually became sparse at this moment.

After walking for about ten more minutes, when Lin Qiusheng and the game development team followed Shiraishi Utahara and others to the laboratory where the engineers were conducting experiments, he couldn't help but complain:

"How can this be a laboratory? Isn't this just a warehouse?!"

That’s right, what appeared in front of Lin Qiusheng was not the multi-story scientific research building he had imagined, but a two-story warehouse as big as a football field.

"Sensei, this is the experimental site we use for experiments. The room where we store various finished products is over here. Please follow us."

Shiraishi Utahara smiled slightly, and instead of walking towards the main door of the laboratory in front of him, he moved towards the side door on the right.

When they arrived at the side door on the right side of the laboratory, three people from the engineering department took the lead, followed closely by the four people from the game development department. Lin Qiusheng lagged behind them a few steps and looked around curiously.

With the sound of messy footsteps ringing in his ears, Lin Qiusheng walked into the room used by the Engineering Department to store items and looked around in shock.

What appeared before his eyes was a room several times larger than Xia Lai's office, and the ground around the room was filled with all kinds of weapons.

The walls are surrounded by metal workbenches.

"Here are all the samples we've made so far. You can take anything you want from here."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yu Tao Jing instantly smiled happily and jumped up and down excitedly.

"Great! Thank you, Senior!"

At this moment, Nekozuka Hibiki, who had been silent the entire time, returned to the front of the crowd and said softly:

"Yeah... I'm first-year Nekozuka Hibiki. If you don't mind, I can help you choose some good things."

As if this involved something Nekatsuka Hibiki was familiar with, her initially timid tone became more confident. She picked up the pistol on the shelf, looked at Alice, and asked:

"…What do you think of this, Alice?"

"Eh? A pistol." Before Alice could reply, Saiwa Taojing interrupted, saying:

"I think Alice... doesn't have much combat experience."

"That's a negative statement. Alice has saved humanity 27 times, battled the Demon King's army 46 times, and explored three-digit underground mazes. She has a wealth of experience points."

"Alice now considers herself an S-rank adventurer!"

Faced with Alice who spoke strange words with a serious face, Nekatsuka Hibiki's originally confident tone suddenly became weak, and his eyes wandered around awkwardly.

“…That’s… really… impressive…”

"Anyway, it looks like he has no experience with guns... I guess."

As he spoke, Nekatsuka Hibiki picked up the pistol on the work table in front of him, pressed the button on the handle, ejected the magazine, and explained:

"A pistol is definitely better for someone like this... Because it's made of plastic, it's very light and has very little recoil..."

"In short, it's beginner-friendly in every way... and, most importantly... this gun is equipped with a function never before seen in the history of Millennium Institute of Technology."

Lin Qiusheng suddenly remembered the conversation he and Hayase Yuuka had had before arriving at the engineering department, and couldn't help but grin and ask:

"No...it's a self-destruction, right?"

"Why!?"

Cai Yulu looked at Lin Qiusheng beside him in a daze, and then looked at Mao Zhongxiang in front of him.

She put the gun aside with some embarrassment, crossed her hands in front of her, and kept circling her thumbs around each other.

"Well... well, originally, we wanted to install the self-destruction device."

"But Yuka-kun strictly forbade us to install such a function, so we only installed the Bluetooth function."

"Huh? Bluetooth function?" Caiyu Momoi looked at the pistol that Nekatsuka Hibiki put back on the table in confusion, muttering to herself.

"A handgun that can listen to music and transfer files via Bluetooth...according to research, such a thing has never existed."

"Of course, it also has some small functions, such as just dropping a drop on the sensor at the boarding area to get on the bus."

"Also, it has an NFC function, so it can be used in convenience stores."

This scene made the game development department and Lin Qiusheng look at a loss as to how to react.

Cai Yu Taojing first nodded to express his affirmation, and then imitated his imagination and complained:

"If you want to say it's impressive... it's really impressive... but..."

"If you say 'Please pay with this' at a convenience store and then pull out a gun, the clerk will be shocked!"

"Um...group chat, yo Lingqi? (The text appears to be cut off here) It's 'qi', 'the room is slipping this..."

While Saiwa Momoi and Shiraishi Utahara were talking, Alice walked quickly as if she had arrived in a new area and continued to explore the vast room.

"Oh, speaking of which, where did Alice go...? Alice, Alice?"

Cai Yulu first looked around in confusion, but did not find the familiar figure. He quickly looked around and found Alice lying motionless in the corner of the room.

“…Ah, over there.”

"That is?"

Alice stared blankly at the object in front of her that was two people tall, half a person wide, and surrounded by various red and blue wires, like a refrigerator.

Her eyes sparkled, and her blue eyes were filled with longing and excitement.

"stare……"

"this is?"

The game development department and engineering department, who had been gathered together, also gathered around Alice at this moment.

Kotori Toyomi naturally moved closer to Alice, crossed her arms and looked at her with a smile, not missing a single opportunity to explain.

"Hehehe...you really have good eyesight, customer."

"Then, I, Toyomi Kotori, will continue to provide you with answers!"

When Tomimi Kotori was about to give a long explanation of how this thing worked, Sai Yu Midori asked first:

"Kotori, what's this big thing Alice is eyeing? It looks like a cannon."

"Great question, Midori. This is the ambitious project of our engineering department, consuming nearly 70% of our budget for the second half of the year... 'Space Battleship-Mounted Railgun'!"

As Tomi Kotori Toyomi spoke, Lin Qiusheng and the game development team focused their attention on the huge monster in front of them.

"You said space battleships...you're doing these ridiculous things again..."

Sai Yulu sighed as if he was deflated, looked at Toyomi Kotori helplessly, and told her what had happened before.

"That's happened before, right? They were making hibernation equipment while saying goodbye to the future, and everyone ended up catching a cold, right?"

Shiraishi Utahara, who had been silent, immediately shook his head and denied it.

"That express train to the future is still being used quite often."

"But it's used as a refrigerator. Since it can still deliver food to the future, it's not a failure."

After hearing Shiraishi Utahara's theory of "as long as I don't feel I've lost, I haven't lost" when he lost a game with his sister, Sai Yulu pursed his lips and complained:

"The purpose has obviously changed, but the name is still so exaggerated!"

Seeing that the topic had turned to her invention, Toyomi Kotori immediately interrupted and said:

"Then again, the Engineering Department's current goal, following helicopters and general-purpose combat robots, is to develop space battleships!"

"This electromagnetic cannon is the first step in that process. It's a live-fire weapon developed for combat outside the atmosphere! This is an unprecedented endeavor in the history of the Millennium Institute of Technology!"

"So cool...just hearing it makes my blood boil!"

For some reason, Saiwa Momoi, who was originally in the same group of complaining with Saiwa Midori, responded to Toyomi Kotori's explanation with some excitement. The two looked at each other and felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

Cai Yulu was also a little moved at this moment, and quickly looked at the people in the engineering department and asked:

"As expected of the Millennium Institute of Technology's Engineering Department! Did everything go smoothly this time?!"

"Hehehe, of course! ... I was going to say that, but I stopped now..."

Kotori Toyomi's originally excited tone faltered, and she laughed awkwardly.

The Caiyu sisters suddenly let out a wailing sound of loss, and their tails, which had been swinging like a propeller behind them, suddenly softened and drooped behind them.

"Huh!? Why? You were clearly looking forward to it."

Toyomi Kotori was like a deflated balloon, shrugging her shoulders helplessly with a look of dissatisfaction.

"What has always hindered the progress of technicians is not imagination and passion, but budget..."

"The construction of this electromagnetic gun alone has consumed 70% of the Engineering Department's budget for the second half of the year. However, if we were to build a space battleship, it would cost thousands of times that..."

As the game producer, Saiwa Taojing instinctively asked:

"Surely this could have been foreseen during the planning phase? Then why bother building this electromagnetic cannon?"

"What a foolish question, Momoi." Shiraishi Utahara sneered with narrowed eyes, then solemnly declared with a serious face:

"...Of course, it's because beam cannons are romantic!"

Nekozuka Hibiki and Toyomi Kotori nodded, agreeing with a look of approval:

"Uh-huh!"

"That's right! You don't even understand the charm of the beam cannon. You're really far behind, Momoi."

Faced with these people, Lin Qiusheng frowned and pouted, trying hard to suppress the urge to complain.

If I hold back now, she will definitely complain!!!

"Idiots! They're so smart, but they're a bunch of idiots!"

Hearing Cai Yu Taojing's complaints, Lin Qiusheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled with relief.

The people in the engineering department didn't seem to care about Saiwa Momoi's rude complaints, and Toyomi Kotori continued to explain with the same excited look on her face.
