The atmosphere in the underground warehouse suddenly became depressed. Magnolia walked behind Xu Le and lowered her head to read the news. Zhou Yu's brows also frowned. Jose sighed and called up the news screen. Xu Le's eyes left the phone and landed on the news screen again. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he remained silent.
Everyone watched the news screen silently, and the important news of the Federation was scrolling, and they were tirelessly replaying the press conference held by the Federal Academy of Sciences today.
In front of the dark blue stage background, Dean Lin, the leader of the federal academic world, was waving his arms and explaining something powerfully. As he explained, the three-dimensional beam screen behind him began to change, a lavender The mecha gradually condensed into the light beam, revealing that stunning and graceful figure.
The three-dimensional beam changed again, and the lavender new mecha was broken down into countless parts, floating above the hall, revealing those advanced design concepts, especially the streamlined twin-engine floating in the middle, which attracted everyone's attention. .
Countless cameras at the press conference were aimed at the stage, and the reporters were too shocked to ask questions. They all vaguely knew that the Federation was researching this revolutionary new mecha, but they didn’t know that the Academy of Sciences had quietly developed it successfully. The general public knows better what kind of glory this new twin-engine design will bring to the Federation.
"This is a new era, an era that belongs to MX." Dean Lin put his hands on the news station, glanced around lightly with a sense of majesty, and said slowly.
As the sound of his words landed, the new mecha parts scattered around the three-dimensional beam screen began to gather in the middle, and with the beautiful metal assembly sound that had been prepared in advance, the new lilac MX was reassembled, exuding Faint light, at the same time, the blue background background suddenly turned into a soft existence like flowing water, and the mercury fell down like a rush!
A realistic purple streamlined MX mecha appeared in front of everyone, and gradually merged with the mecha in the three-dimensional beam screen, and then the beam dispersed, leaving only the seven-meter-high new mecha indifferent and proud. stared at everyone at the press conference.
The rolling news was over, and the warehouse of the Nutshell Engineering Department was still silent, and a depressing atmosphere shrouded everyone's heads. Director Jose's face was ashen, Xu Le lowered his head, Zhou Yu clenched his fists tightly, and Secretary Bai turned his head to look, only Major Lan Xiaolong didn't quite understand why these figures were suddenly drained of power.
The white MX mecha fixed on the bracket on the wall of the isolation area has not been assembled yet. The three heavy mechanical arms are being adjusted slowly. It doesn't understand why the purple goblin-like guy on the light screen grabbed it and gave birth in front of it.
The Federal Academy of Sciences was the first to announce what the success of the MX mecha represented. No one knew better than the few people in the field. This meant that the ten-year-long efforts of the Nutshell Motor Company had all made wedding gowns for the Federal Academy of Sciences, which meant countless The painstaking efforts of the engineers were all in vain.
For Xu Le, it means more, such as Professor Shen, the presidential election, shameless people...
Bai Yulan, who was standing behind her, looked at his low back with complicated eyes, and suddenly asked Zhou Yu something in a soft voice, Zhou Yu shook her head.
The information leakage of the engineering department has been determined after the arrest of the director. However, the most suspected director, Hao, was transferred long before the incident. In a sense, this senior The director's behavior is equivalent to betraying the Tai family and the Nutshell Engineering Department, but this kind of senior director also has his own background. If it is what he did, and now he has climbed another big tree, the Federation is a disciplined In this place, it is impossible for the Tai family to directly pull the supervisor out to kill, and there is no clue about the spaceship that the gunman escaped from, so the key to the matter is the development speed of the MX mecha, the Nutshell Engineering Department and Xu Le did not allow failure, but the Academy of Sciences was the first to declare success.
Xu Le thought of what Deputy Minister Zou said when he expressed pressure on the phone, and knew that he could not lose. He lowered his head and rubbed his tousled hair vigorously, and stepped on the chair with both feet, without expressing any opinion.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Nutshell Engineering Department not far from this spare warehouse also became extremely strange.
More than 200 of the company's top engineers looked silently at the large screen on the ceiling and the press conference of the Federal Academy of Sciences above. A feeling of disappointment and frustration permeates the air. A long time has passed, but no one has spoken. After many days of work, it has temporarily stopped.
Only a female engineer wearing round and cute glasses stood up with her eyes open curiously, staring at the beautiful and murderous lavender mecha on the news screen, and interacted with the general map of the MX mecha in her workbench. After comparing, I found some different places, and further from these different places, I found a bit of strangeness.
Director Jose is very clear that the reason why Xu Le is willing to cooperate with the engineering department is because this young man has a kind of persistence and does not want the research results of Professor Shen to be maliciously seized by those academic bureaucrats. He also knows that Xu Le is for this new computer. How much effort A has put in, how many sleepless days and nights, are all consumed on this matter.
Looking at the somewhat dejected back, he couldn't help but worry a little, whether this young genius would have difficulty accepting such a result, but his mood at this time was also extremely cold, and even if he wanted to comfort the other party, he couldn't find any words.
Just when everyone thought Xu Le was about to collapse, he slowly raised his head, turned to look at everyone and smiled, not the kind of bitter sneer, but spreading like sunshine, his eyes narrowed like the night. The beautiful double moon, the white teeth exposed on the lips, are as clean as the snow near the sea.
"What are you doing? The Federal Academy of Sciences is a top academic institution. Do you think their technical reserves are inferior to ours, so they should be born behind us?" Xu Le stood up, stretched, and smiled. Said: "They have already announced success, so we can't stand still, we have to get things done as soon as possible."
This too normal reaction made everyone feel that Xu Le became a little abnormal under this kind of impact, Director Jose said with a hoarse voice and a wry smile: "You also know that they are of a higher level, and they are ahead of us. In front of us, what we have done has become meaningless, you must know that there can only be one standard for the new generation of mechas."
In the moments when he bowed his head, Xu Le thought about a lot of things. He always felt that something was wrong. He had a mature design plan personally instructed by Professor Shen, and he had not deliberately slowed down the development speed of the engineering department. Even if the data is leaked, the Academy of Sciences cannot be faster than the engineering department.
On that rainy night, the other party's last attempt to stop the research and development of the Nutshell Engineering Department failed, and if Director Hao really revealed part of the progress and information of the Engineering Department, the Academy of Sciences would definitely feel unprecedented pressure. Pressure can sometimes be the driving force, but It may also make the person in charge anxious and panic, just like Director Jose at this time.
Xu Le became more and more certain that the Federal Academy of Sciences must not have completed sufficient internal tests. As a result, the possibility of the other party finding out that he was playing tricks in the core data is even lower.
Therefore, he was not panicked. He was even a little thankful for what happened that rainy night and Director Hao's leak. Otherwise, he really had no confidence that he could use those fake data to deceive the other party.
"This is a unilateral press conference by the Academy of Sciences. The federal government may not know about it. Maybe that President Lin is trying to create an established fact, but the problem is that we are almost done. How could the government not consider our side?"
He smiled and said to everyone: "This press conference was done beautifully, but I always have a feeling that the more powerful they are at this time, the more embarrassing they will be in the future."
No one understood this sentence, but they looked at Xu Le's smiling face, and for some reason, they suddenly felt a little more confident in their hearts.
In the small conference room on the top floor of the Ministry of National Defense Building of the Capital Special Administrative Region, a voice came from the voice of Mr. Sigal, the scientific adviser of President Seagal. What are they doing? The president doesn't know about this, so they held a press conference. If the experiment fails like last fall in the future, who will explain it to the federal people? What will the Empire think of us?"
The scientific consultant had a good relationship with Zou Yingxing. They had attended the funeral of Old Professor Shen together. When he said such a sentence, it naturally represented a certain attitude. However, the National Security Advisor of the President, who was sitting at the center, said disapprovingly: "Since the Academy of Sciences dares to hold a press conference, they are naturally confident. As for the test, with the lessons of Nutshell, they must be a lot more careful."
Zou Yingxing sat quietly in the corner of the round table. Meetings like this at the highest federal level were usually held at the presidential residence in the past, but today, because of the discussion of the new MX mecha, they were placed in the Ministry of National Defense. The occasion was not a key person, and he rarely spoke at previous meetings, but today, for some unknown reason, he looked at the documents of the Academy of Sciences in his hand and reminded everyone in a low voice: "The development of the engineering department is also nearing the end..."
The National Security Adviser cut him off rudely and said sharply: "How much federal money has been wasted by the Engineering Department in the past ten years? As a result, they only made an explosive waste last year! What if they successfully developed it this time? Could it be? The two standards of the federation’s new generation of mechas coexist? Then in the future, which standard will the troops be formally equipped with?”
President Seagal was still inspecting South Carolina at this time. The highest-ranking national security adviser in this meeting was naturally the National Security Advisor. The big man made such a clear statement and the slight dissatisfaction in his words made the officials attending the meeting think that Zou Yingxing should be like Zou Yingxing. Silent as before.
However, at this time, the usually low-key Vice Minister Zou took off his glasses, threw them on the table, met the gaze of the national security adviser, and said coldly: "Of course, whichever standard is better, use whichever one."
