After staying at home for a day, Xiao Ran returned to the research institute. In a few days, the research institute would make new progress and breakthroughs every day. Of course, the first thing Xiao Ran did when he was away for a few days was to confirm the progress and situation of the past few days.
While Xiao Ran was looking at the report, Major Luo, who was the contact person, knocked on the door of Xiao Ran's office. After getting Xiao Ran's permission to come in, he took a look at the intact Xiao Ran and felt relieved and sat directly in front of Xiao Ran.
After sitting down, Major Luo said directly: "Deputy Director Xiao, you have been away for a long time this time. The higher-ups are worried about whether you have encountered any danger."
"The difference in the speed of time passing is not something I can determine." Xiao Ran said without raising his head: "And I also turned the table over very early and encountered some interesting things, which delayed a little time, but these few days when I was not there The Tianjin Research Institute is still progressing according to the schedule. If this continues, even if there is no problem for me, I will not be a big problem. We should be able to come up with new fighters and armed mechas within two years."
Major Luo nodded. This Major Luo was not from the army. He didn't understand technology at all. He was in the research institute at this time entirely because he held the position of Xiao Ran's liaison officer and was also responsible for the research institute. In terms of security work, this guy is currently the most powerful one besides the gamers.
"According to the initial plan, we will complete the quantum computer within half a year, the exoskeleton armor and new tanks within a year, the energy weapons within a year and a half, and the fighter planes and mechas within two years. But without Deputy Director Xiao, you will definitely It is impossible to complete the entire work in two years.”
"So I will only stay here for two years, and I will leave after two years." Xiao Ran put down the report in his hand, looked at Major Luo and said, "At that time, my family will be entrusted to you to take care of it. What is the internal situation? I have given personal protection to ten people in the professional system of World of Warcraft, which is enough for the time being if it is not a particularly dangerous situation, but maybe I will place some people there, so I will let you know first."
Major Luo was not surprised by this, but asked: "Is it credible?"
Xiao Ran nodded: "It's credible, and they don't have the guts to do anything to betray me. If you need it, you can ask these people to help you, whether it's inside or outside."
"I know what to do." Major Luo said: "We originally had some people inside, and later we contacted some people. We went there with good intentions as you said, deputy director, and also for their families. Having made better arrangements is considered a good thing. For those who are willing to join, we do not put too many restrictions on them. We do not ask them like real soldiers and give them more freedom. After all, these people are likely to be in the future. Become a hero to protect this world.”
"Just do this. Gradually increase their sense of identity and relieve their worries. Anyway, as long as they can't use their power at will outside, then their threat will not be too great."
Major Luo expressed his understanding. After a pause, he took out a piece of information and placed it on Xiao Ran's desk. "Deputy Director, we have now established a new game technology department to analyze how much of the technology in it can be used in the game," he said. If it is implemented outside, it can enhance some special operations capabilities as soon as possible, especially when it comes to small-scale combat and lane combat, it can maintain a certain balance for players. Finally, I selected this thing and you can see if it can be implemented."
Xiao Ran took the information handed over by Major Luo with some curiosity, looked at the picture above and raised his head: "Crysis Nanosuit? Isn't this thing equivalent to the exoskeleton armor of a different species?"
Major Luo said: "We hope to consider the cost of something that can be equipped on a large scale. Exoskeleton armor is currently too high for our cost. The problem of material scarcity will be huge and the cost pressure will be relatively high." A short transition is needed, and this is a preliminary deletion. In addition, in many special operations, it may not be possible to use exoskeleton armor. After all, we currently have no way to master space technology."
"Nano combat uniforms that can enhance the functions of the human body can be equipped on a large scale so that ordinary soldiers can use them. At the same time, they need to be able to derive multiple versions." Xiao Ran put down the information and tapped it twice with his hand, and said: "I I'm afraid I can't do it. This involves biotechnology and I'm not good at these things. But if it's nanotechnology, I can give it to you. I guess the cost of this thing won't be too low, but you can wait. I’ll go get some samples first.”
"Sorry to trouble you." Major Luo smiled gratefully at Xiao Ran, his face slowly becoming a little hesitant: "That... deputy director."
"Anything else?"
"It's about your mother..." Major Luo coughed lightly and said, "According to the reports of the guards, she has been doing something recently, and this matter has also received attention from above. We have prepared a lot of things. Information, I think I need to tell you about this."
"What's the matter? Information?" Xiao Ran was a little confused at first, but then he widened his eyes and asked, "Could it be blind date information?"
"Ahem." Major Luo coughed twice and said seriously: "That's it, but the principle is that both parties can meet each other's eyes. The higher-ups also hope that you can leave a child, but you must not misunderstand, it is definitely not what you want. Are you using the child as a handle? I just hope that our relationship can go further, so the people on the information selected for you are all our daughters. Do you want to take a look first? Your mother wants us to send those things to her. On hand.”
Xiao Ran felt a little headache: "Why did this happen? I have a wife and children, but I can't bring her back now, so I didn't tell them."
Major Luo said very understandingly: "This does not affect it. Here is here, and outside is outside. Anyway, it is not illegal in a world. We have considered these factors and there will be no problem."
Xiao Ran shook his head and said: "Let's put it this way, now my situation is equivalent to that of a god, and the ones you choose will only be ordinary people. How easy do you think it would be for two different species to have children? The life level has been completely It’s different, even the genes have changed.”
Major Luo was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "Is there such a hidden secret inside? It doesn't matter if ordinary people outside are not good, but the people inside are not good either? Their physical fitness is also different from ours, and their life level It must have been promoted, we also have candidates from the inside, and if it doesn’t work, there will be some special props inside to help give birth."
Xiao Ran said: "To be honest, I did think about leaving a child here for my mother, and I will definitely come back in the future, but not in this way. It's nonsense without an emotional basis. You know, this matter You don’t need to worry about anything.”
"What about your mother's side?"
Xiao Ran waved his hands feebly: "Just do whatever she asks you to do."
Major Luo nodded and stood up: "Okay, I'll leave first. I'll send a copy of the information to your terminal in a moment. Anyway, you can take a look if you have nothing to do."
Xiao Ran watched Major Luo leave speechlessly. Xiao Ran knew what the other party was thinking. Having a family and children would indeed become a kind of care and sustenance. This would also make Xiao Ran think more about children and family, and then think about the world here. , thus bringing more feedback to the world. Protons and the like do not exist. The country is not so stingy. It is very simple that all this is caused by Xiao’s mother. There are actions and ideas from above, but they are just following the trend. That's all. Besides, that's not a bad thing.
Sitting on the chair, Xiao Ran rubbed his aching head and took out his personal terminal. He clicked on the information sent by Major Luo and placed it on the table. He slowly started to read it. There were many candidates in the information, thirty or fifty. There are still some people who have the kind of temperament, knowledge and beauty, but they are not attractive to Xiao Ran.
Suddenly, Xiao Ran's fingers stopped and his eyes focused on a photo of a girl. The girl in the photo had an expressionless face and looked a bit cold. She was sitting in the car wearing a white dress, with her hands on the window and her head. There was a kitten with closed eyes lying on her knees. She didn't know what she was thinking about. Her eyes were a little vacant, like a blooming snow lotus.
"Situ Yaoyao, 23 years old, a senior student in the Department of Mathematics, likes to play games and keep pets? She has a simple and direct personality, and her emotional intelligence seems to be unqualified? She is suspected of being someone inside?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and whispered softly: "This girl Isn't it just a monster coming? She is the daughter of an official family. Her mother's family is a big businessman. She grew up with her grandparents and has not had much contact with the outside world. She is the only girl in the family. In reality, such personal and external conditions really exist from the beginning. The person who dumped others more than a dozen blocks away will become a standard domineering female CEO in two years? Haha."
Xiao Ran suddenly smiled, shook his head, closed his personal terminal, put on his white coat and walked out of the office.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ran left the institute and did not return home immediately but went to the city. After finding a cafe hidden in the busy city, Xiao Ran walked in. In this quiet place with a quite petty bourgeois atmosphere I saw a girl dressed in white as snow in the cafe and sat directly opposite the girl.
The girl was reading a book with her head down. After Xiao Ran sat down, she raised her head. She looked at Xiao Ran silently for several seconds before slowly closing the book and placing it on the table. She tilted her head slightly and said in confusion: "Your Eye?"
"Contact lenses." Xiao Ran smiled slightly, looked at the girl who had only seen the photo not long ago, and said, "Situ Yaoyao, your information was personally delivered to me today."
"Information?" Situ Yaoyao was confused and asked, "What information."
Xiao Ran curled her lips and said: "Personal information for the blind date."
"Oh." Situ Yaoyao lowered her head slightly, unable to tell what she was thinking. Anyway, she didn't see any blush or embarrassment, so she just heard her say: "When? Not today, I'm not ready. The first time I asked you out was because of those people."
Xiao Ran's face froze for a moment, and then he quickly changed the subject: "I said you are too brave, right? In the real world, you can't use your abilities at will, and don't you worry about being in danger when meeting other players? You can definitely pass if you have something to do. Terminal contact, you and the game have not changed at all, so you are not worried that someone will seek revenge and find you?"
Situ Yaoyao raised her head and said with a serious face: "I have bodyguards. I can't use my abilities, and neither can others. The thing you gave me can also be brought to the real world for use. I can protect myself, and it has changes." of."
Situ Yaoyao said, touching her chest and then touching the corners of her eyes: "This place has been turned down inside, and the corners of her eyes have also moved a bit.
"What you said makes sense and I'm speechless." Xiao Ran was stunned, shook his head, smiled, and leaned slightly on the sofa: "Now that we've seen it, it's time to get down to business. How are those people doing?"
Situ Yaoyao said: "They are all willing to do things for you, and no one refuses."
"Not bad." Xiao Ran nodded slowly and said, "Have you joined any union? If not, set up a union. The name will be called the Burning Legion. If the name is repeated, just tell me and I will talk to the people in this union. Let’s talk, and then add everyone’s, and then I will give them some arrangements and rewards, and notify everyone to come to this city to gather.”
Situ Yaoyao responded: "Yes."
After finishing the business in two or three sentences, Situ Yaoyao didn't speak. Xiao Ran didn't know what to say. He muttered in silence and asked, "When are you going to advance to gold?"
"You can do it at any time. Originally, I was waiting for someone to grow up and help me with the task, but now I don't have to."
After saying that, Situ Yaoyao looked at Xiao Ran, blinked her eyes and then remained motionless.
Xiao Ran also smiled when he saw the other party's appearance: "Okay, I will help you with the next mission."
"Well." Situ Yaoyao stood up and said, "Then I'm leaving. We'll meet here again at this time tomorrow."
Xiao Ran was stunned: "Uh?"
Situ Yaoyao was a little strange: "Aren't you going on a blind date? I said we would meet here at this time tomorrow, bye."
"What the hell is this girl?" Xiao Ran looked at Situ Yaoyao decisively and left in a daze, feeling a little stunned in his heart: "It's hard to guess what he was thinking. His emotions were so stable without even a little fluctuation? Although he didn't deliberately feel it. But he didn’t even reveal any emotion, what kind of monster is he?”
Xiao Ran shook his head and was a little confused. He raised his hand and ordered a cup of coffee and drank it slowly.
