The requirements for researching robots in some aspects are higher than those for ordinary combat robots. Not only are the raw materials very expensive, but some of the spare parts are also troublesome.
It was wasted too quickly, and Luke had to ask the big guy who sold everything to do the trade, which was a waste of time.
No matter how much money Luke has, he can't let Dr. Stern do this.
Unrestrained scientific researchers can burn the entire earth's wealth.
Luke is just a shareholder of a few companies, not the God of Earth.
Unnecessary expenses should be saved wherever possible.
Of course, the attitude has been made clear, and the things still have to be given.
After Luke personally "negotiated" with Claudia and Ophelia, the two readily agreed to cooperate with the research.
However, in order to avoid the trouble of research robots being destroyed in seconds, Dr. Stern certainly cannot plan to cut them open and study them bit by bit.
It’s not that Luke wanted to give these two women any preferential treatment, it’s just that these two women are mentally unstable.
It's easy to drive them completely crazy, but it will be difficult to get them to cooperate with experiments in the future.
What’s even more interesting is that after accepting the “negotiation” conditions, the two women finally became “excited”.
They all expressed their willingness to participate in the research rather than simply be studied.
In exchange for their active participation in the research, they have the right to refuse certain experimental projects of Dr. Stern.
No one wants to be ordered around like a monkey, least of all them.
Dr. Sten, the "catfish", has played the desired effect and has helped Luke's scientific research project to tap its internal potential.
When it comes to biotechnology, Luke is really not an expert and has no interest in it.
These three PhDs can be employed with just some money and equipment. He doesn't have to participate in this research, just "harvest" the results regularly.
…
Just after ten o'clock in the evening, Joseph was sent back by Mindy on time.
This is necessary even if Joseph is wearing nano armor.
Mindy was only fourteen, but definitely more "adult" than nine-year-old Joseph.
Besides, as an older brother, you can choose not to create opportunities for your younger brother, but at least you can't interfere.
When the two said goodbye at the door, Luke came out quietly and said, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while, Mindy?"
Mindy was startled, then her expression relaxed: "Luke, you're back?"
Luke hummed and said with a smile: "How about I drive you back?"
Mindy rolled her eyes: "I'm in the tenth grade, okay!"
Luke shrugged: "Okay, come over tomorrow and give you a small gift?"
Mindy's eyes lit up: "What gift?"
Luke: “Handicrafts.”
Mindy was not disappointed.
The long sword that Luke gave her last time was very good. Although she didn’t use it much, she still liked it very much.
Just like the dozens of butterfly knives she owns, collecting fine cold weapons is a personal hobby and you can never have too much.
The boss who sells everything also has special cold weapons, but you have to pay points to buy them, which is completely different from those given as gifts.
Mindy waved goodbye happily and rode her bike back to her home across the river.
Joseph pushed the bicycle in and put it in the hallway at the door. As he went upstairs, he casually asked, "Did your business trip go well?"
Luke: “Yeah, it’s OK.”
Sensing Joseph's mood swings, Luke chuckled to himself, "Well, you have a gift too."
Joseph's mood obviously improved, but he said: "I'm not a child."
Luke chuckled: "You mean Mindy is still young?"
Joseph curled his lips and said, "She probably won't grow up in her lifetime."
Luke didn't refute this.
When we say that Mindy never grows up, it means that her character is always a bit childish, not that she is naive.
After a while, Luke pretended to go upstairs, and held back his laughter as he handed two large boxes to Joseph: "This is a gift for you."
Joseph looked at him suspiciously: "Can I take it down?"
Luke nodded, picked up the coffee on the table and took a leisurely sip.
The big box didn’t have any extra packaging, it was just casually tied with a bow using a red ribbon.
Joseph pulled the lid of the box casually, and when he saw what was inside, his face was immediately filled with shock.
He was a little unsure, so he reached out and took the thing out of the box, turning it in front of him more than three hundred and sixty times, and he was 100% sure - this was a motorcycle helmet.
There's nothing wrong with a motorcycle helmet as a gift, but the problem is that this helmet... is pink, and has cartoon-like whiskers and a mouth on the front, forming a cute cat face.
Joseph turned his head and looked at Luke:
Luke raised his hand with a smile: "There's one more."
Joseph opened the second box quickly, and when he saw the dark color, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This is what I wear, right?"
Luke laughed out loud: "Hey, do you still want to wear that girly pink?"
Joseph glared at his brother unhappily: "You did this on purpose!"
He just came back to his senses now.
Just now, Luke deliberately placed the pink helmet close to him so that he could open the box first.
In fact, the gift is a couple's helmet.
The two helmets have similar shapes, but the black men's version has no extra decorations, while the pink girls' version has a cartoon cat face.
After complaining about his prankster brother, Joseph's mind worked quickly: "You, did you give her a motorcycle?"
Luke nodded, confirming the correctness of his speculation: "Yes."
Joseph looked very strange: "So, your gift to me was two motorcycle helmets, but your gift to her was a motorcycle."
Luke sipped his coffee leisurely: "Yeah."
Joseph wanted to complain, but he didn't know how to say it for a moment.
Luke explained, "Boys, you must pay attention to your personal safety when you get on the bus and take protective measures. And you have been training with him for so long, so why should I just give him a helmet?"
Joseph finally couldn't help but said, "I mean, you're not going to split the original gift into two?"
Luke shook his head decisively: "How is that possible? If it was a gift of a set, why would I prepare a helmet specifically for you? A car with a free driver, are you still not satisfied with this gift?"
Joseph: ... A free driver? The adults are really good at this.
The next day, Mindy jumped for joy when she got the motorcycle.
This is not some common motorcycle, but one that Luke modified specifically for her, making it especially suitable for her short legs.
The motorcycle is streamlined as a whole, and its pink and purple color looks very eye-catching. Although the body is small in size, its weight is enough to reach high speeds.
There are nano armor and a couple's helmet specially equipped for Luke, which can ensure that the two of them can ride it without worrying about their lives.
Not only that, it also has the functions of partial shell deformation, license plate switching, and rapid color change, which is similar to Bell's taxi.
On straight roads, it can also perform assisted intelligent driving, allowing the driver to free up his hands for a short period of time.
Luke also has a fully intelligent-controlled motorcycle, but it must have super-wide tires, and the appearance is too cool. He will definitely attract a lot of attention when he goes out, which is not suitable for these two minors.
This civilian version of the motorcycle is sufficient for Mindy and Joseph's daily transportation.
