Not to mention the dialogue between master and apprentice in the sewer, Luke's life here is busy and fulfilling.
His two-line operation is becoming more and more proficient, coupled with the reasonable allocation of time, the efficiency of the division of labor and cooperation of the deity is getting higher and higher, and life is easier than before.
Now he is not alone, and Ivan the mourning whip has "changed his family" and gone to work for the "big guy who sells everything".
Anyway, the salary is piecework, and the bonus is calculated separately.
However, apart from receiving tens of thousands of dollars in cash, Ivan digested the money he earned internally, directly purchased raw materials, and invested in the research and development of his own armor.
Apart from paying attention to the progress of Ivan's armor research, Luke didn't bother to care about it.
This guy has no chance to make another mistake.
As long as there is another act of ignoring the lives of civilians and wantonly retaliating, Luke will immediately turn him into experience points.
Luke's trust is valuable, even if only once.
As long as this bottom line is not touched, Ivan can do everything he wants to do.
Of course, this treatment also depends on Ivan's work attitude.
He has done the tasks handed in the past, no matter the difficult ones or ordinary tasks, he has done them very seriously, even more serious than doing his own battle armor.
Luke later felt that this was a waste of time, so he simply marked the work with two levels of importance.
Most of Ivan's foundries are low-level, that is, low-end armor accessories, and the standards don't need to be too high.
Luke is not a certain young man, as long as the performance of the main body is fine, the aesthetics and style are not considered at all.
With the existence of Ivan, he finally took over some tasks that were neither high nor low in technology but could not be completed by intelligent programs.
And this guy has always had a kind of obsessive love for the whip, the weapon of the new armor is still the whip.
Luke had no intention of interfering.
As for weapons, it's best to use them by yourself.
He didn't decide on any weapon, that's just because he was almost equally comfortable with any weapon, it just depends on the need to choose.
Previously, the ion cutting and electromagnetic deflection of Ivan's whip were quite interesting.
Not all of Luke's battleframes have been used, but he has tried to develop similar functions. Even if the main battleframe is not used in the future, it can also be used on spare battleframes or external accessories.
The invention that really surprised Luke was not on Ivan's side, but the weird inventor Bent Bennett who was fired by the Ministry of Defense and could hardly afford to eat.
This guy really isn't fit to make inventions for the Department of Defense because his inventions... are "valuable".
Of course, this value does not mean that the product can sell a lot of money, but that a lot of money has been invested in research costs.
When the Ministry of National Defense studies things, most of them have to talk about cost-effectiveness, and they have to set aside the part that benefits buyers and sellers.
With a character like Bent who wastes money to death, the cost of the researched things is too high, the price is too small to maneuver, and the performance is unique, and the Ministry of Defense does not like it.
But Luke didn't have this problem. Anyway, he issued a fixed amount of appropriation every month, and Bent's spoils were all within this range.
Unless Luke finds merit in Bent's research direction in the synchronously backed up research data, he will temporarily increase the quota.
Bent didn't know it at first, and thought that the research office, like the Ministry of National Defense, was allocated according to the situation, and it was fine to make reports if there was no money.
As a result, in the first two months, this guy spent all the funds in less than ten days, and spent another ten days to waste the materials purchased with the quota. In the remaining ten days, he could only sit in the research room and wait for the materials.
Unwilling to give up, he sent several funding application reports in a row, and finally got a reply "Your funding balance for this month is 0, please send another email next month."
In this way, Bent, a senior researcher with a monthly salary of less than 20,000 yuan, actually has the super treatment of working 20 days a month and taking 10 days off.
For most people, this kind of work environment is simply not good.
But for an otaku who is obsessed with technology and can't extricate himself, especially a technology geek who has only studied half of the technology, because there is no material stuck there, this kind of torture is simply terrible.
It felt like halfway through the game house top set, and then the power was cut off for ten days.
After suffering losses for two consecutive months, Bent finally woke up in the third month and made a very simple work plan for this month, which reduced the days of big vacation to the last three days because of the speed with which he used materials. , still faster than expected.
He didn't know that Luke deliberately suppressed the quota and didn't temporarily increase it, otherwise Bent would have used up all the money in it.
At that time, this playful technician might die from overwork directly, which is a waste of talent.
Luke didn't expect Bent to save the world. His position was only to provide Selena with special equipment as a technician. There was no need to squeeze employees like this.
In the past two months, Bent upgraded all the little inventions he sold to the research laboratory, which is one of the reasons why his funds were used up quickly, because many things he had conceived a long time ago, but had no money to toss .
Of course, Luke had no hope for these "toys".
But starting from the third month, Bent completed making up for the regret of the "previous work", so he changed his research direction. A few days ago, he just came up with a miraculous invention of the paralyzing bomb.
It can also be called a shock bomb, a stun bomb, or a soul flying bomb by another name. The function is just to paralyze and lose consciousness in that instant.
Luke tried it with a clone, and the effect was terrifyingly strong.
Even the avatar needs about 40 seconds to regain consciousness, and it takes 90 seconds to fully recover the ability to move.
This is just the power of a paralyzing bullet.
If a guy like Wade hits 10 or 20 rounds in one breath, he might be packed into a box and sent away.
The strong effect is only one of the advantages of this paralyzing bullet, and the bigger advantage is that it has almost no side effects.
Apart from the damage that may be caused by paralysis and falling, or the possibility of heart or brain diseases of the shot person being induced, there are no other obvious side effects.
The principle of how to achieve this effect is too complicated, and Luke just let the intelligent program sponge in the New Hope Lab continue to simulate calculations.
But for now, this paralyzing bomb is already available.
Secondly, the core part of the paralyzing bomb is a tree cobra toxin, which can also be used in some cold weapons after processing.
However, the surface treatment of Luke's weapons is good, and the method of quenching poison by dipping the tip of the knife will not work.
This kind of paralyzing toxin is only aimed at certain targets that only need to be subdued and are not suitable for killing. It is enough to transform a batch of suitable darts.
Luke doesn't plan to sell this big killer. Although it has a wide range of uses, it is also very suitable for doing bad things.
People affected by this paralyzing toxin may even have memory faults, as if the time of being paralyzed did not exist, which is terrible.
Because of this invention, Mr. Bent has been on Luke's protective watch list.
But in order not to make Bent suspicious, Luke will direct his interest to other projects, use the reasons of other projects to give him bonuses, and let Bent blur the memory and key data related to the paralytic toxin by the way.
By next year, Mr. Bent's annual salary and appropriation amount will increase by a notch, which can be regarded as the best compensation for this technical geek.
