Chapter 299 Nine Cauldron System
Xia Xuan and the middle-aged man stared in amazement as Shuke skillfully emptied the entire institute's equipment and production lines. Especially when they saw that Shuke even took away some of the materials they had prepared in advance, their eyes twitched.
This dog is so skilled in his job, was he really not a bandit before?
"Ahem...Team Leader Bai, these instruments are very complicated to operate. Even a mechanical creature may not be able to operate them. Are you sure you don't want our help?"
Looking at the empty research institute in front of him, the middle-aged man finally couldn't help but ask a question.
"Hmm? I'm only here to take over the research institute. You guys are not under my jurisdiction. If you want your salary, remember to go find Xia Xuan."
Seeing that the middle-aged man was still not giving in, Bai Qi suddenly became alert.
"Team Leader Bai, you misunderstood. We are not asking for salary. We just want to help you."
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed. They were the elite among the mechanical weapons researchers under the Xia Group. They were sent here to get first-hand information on Bai Qi's research trends.
Of course, it would be best if we could master Bai Qi’s way of thinking and derive Xia Group’s own technology.
"It's okay, I don't need any help."
Bai Qi shook his head firmly. He didn't like the atmosphere in the research institute. If he really needed to find someone, he could just go to Professor Chu to borrow someone. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
Moreover, when it comes to "manpower", they may not be short of it.
Soon, after checking again to make sure nothing was missed , Shuke finally returned to Bai Qi. After returning the secret ring to Bai Qi, he hurried back to the base.
"Xia Xuan, thank you very much. I have something else to do, so I won't take you home."
Bai Qi waved his hand towards Xia Xuan and said, "As for this building, I don't want it anymore. I'll give it back to you as a return gift."
After saying that, Bai Qi turned over, rode on the Wind God Pterosaur, and headed straight home without looking back.
I thank you...
The corner of Xia Xuan's eye twitched. He looked at the research institute behind him which had become a complete empty shell. He exhaled heavily a few times and then suppressed the urge to beat up Bai Qi.
Stay calm. You can't beat him now. Wait until he gets stuck in upgrading, then catch up and you can beat him.
Yeah, that's it.
"Master Xuan, should we report this to Director Xia?"
The middle-aged man walked up to Xia Xuan and asked in a low voice.
"No need, Dad guessed that Bai Qi would be like this, so let him be."
Xia Xuan shook his head and said, "By the way, have you found the inventor of the rune mechanical weapon? Is it Bai Qi?"
The middle-aged man said, "Although the technique is somewhat similar to the Yuling Ball, I have investigated and found that it is a mecha warrior named Mozhu. He was originally affiliated with the Federal Research Institute, but has now been recruited to the Rune Mechanical Armament Research Group."
"Mozhu? Why does it sound like Bai Qi's trumpet to me..."
A strong intuition told Xia Xuan that this Mo Zhu and Bai Qi were definitely related, but the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I have done some research and found that this Mo Zhu and Bai Qi are two completely different people. He had never done anything before, but he was inspired by Bai Qi's rune mechanical theory, so he became famous."
“I see…”
Xia Xuan nodded when he heard this. Ever since Bai Qi's rune machinery theory was announced, many untold talents have indeed emerged in the Federation, and rune machinery has also begun to improve bit by bit. It is normal for Mo Zhu to be able to research rune machinery weapons.
"You continue to contact Mo Zhu and see if you can recruit him to the Xia Corporation. Hmm... it would be best if you could recruit him to my research institute. Rune mechanical weapons, this kind of battlefield weapon must be produced by our Xia Corporation!"
A gleam of light flashed in Xia Xuan's eyes, while the middle-aged man next to him lowered his head silently without any objection.
…
Secret base.
As soon as he got home, Bai Qi hurried into the secret base and found Shuke who was setting up the instruments. He said, "How is it? With so many instruments, do you have enough Qiling?"
"Of course not."
Shuke shook his head and said, "But there is no need to activate all of them. It is enough to activate a few control centers."
As he spoke, Shuke connected the lines in front of him, and then came to a super-large intelligent computer.
Jiuding is a super-large intelligent computer independently developed by the Xia Group. Its attributes are all top-notch among the federal intelligent computers. Theoretically, one Jiuding can support the computing needs of an entire large research institute.
According to the information Shuke provided, the research institute that Xia Yi gave him, in addition to the Nine Cauldrons, was also equipped with a full set of nine subsystems.
"He is a rich man after all, so generous..."
Bai Qi smacked his lips. From a certain perspective, the value of a complete set of Jiuding Intelligent Brain System exceeded the sum of all other instruments and two production lines.
After the power supply was connected, a mechanical fire started to ignite on Shuke's body, and then spread along several mechanical arms to the Jiuding Intelligent Computer. As Shuke continued to increase the output power, the fire soon enveloped the entire Jiuding.
"Be careful, this thing can't be bought with money."
Thinking of the fate of Shuke's previous failed products, Bai Qi's face was filled with worry.
"Don't make noise."
"Okay."
Shuke glanced at Bai Qi, and then concentrated on awakening the Nine Cauldrons. Bai Qi squatted beside him obediently, waiting quietly for Shuke to finish awakening the spirit.
Huh?
(Human, have you mistaken your identity? Why do I feel like it's reversed?)
Beta looked at Bai Qi in confusion, but was soon attracted by the changes in Jiuding.
In his soul vision, a young soul slowly emerged from the Nine Cauldrons, which was originally just a cold machine. However, it soon grew stronger under the nourishment of Shuke's fire, and then spread to the entire Nine Cauldrons.
"Phew, it finally worked."
It was the first time for Shuke to activate such a large machine, so he was a little nervous, and he breathed a sigh of relief quietly like a living creature.
"Successful?"
Bai Qi's eyes lit up and he looked at the Nine Cauldrons in front of him with curiosity.
"Father."
A young man 's voice came from the Nine Cauldrons, but his address made Bai Qi stunned.
"I gave him his soul, so it's not wrong to call me father."
Shuke nodded and said, "Moreover, I seem to be able to control his life and death, and even take control of him at will?"
"Is it possible?"
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this. If the object of the awakening can be completely controlled by the awakener, then wouldn’t all the mechanics in the Federation be...
He seems to have discovered something new...
Bai Qi smacked his lips and stopped thinking about the problem.
"Beastmaster, why don't you give him a name?"
Shuke talked with Jiuding for a while, and suddenly looked at Bai Qi.
" Name it?"
Bai Qi scratched his head. It was really difficult for him, a contestant with naming difficulties, to come up with a name.
"Nine Ding Intelligent Brain... Or, you can just be called Yu."
"Yu? I like this name. Thank you, Grandpa!"
"puff……"
Hearing Jiuding's way of addressing him, Bai Qi couldn't help but smack his lips, wondering how this generation was calculated.
"Forget it, I'll just be your grandpa. If I get kidnapped someday, maybe someone will come and save me."
Bai Qi smacked his lips, and took Shuke to activate the nine subsystems of Jiuding one by one.
In addition, Bai Qi also gave names to these nine subsystems.
Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yong.
Now that Yu has appeared, it wouldn’t be too much to have another Jiuzhou Ding.
"It's almost reached its limit. If I want to continue awakening my spirit, I have to wait until my mechanical spark becomes stronger."
After activating ten machines in succession, including a large intelligent computer like Yu, Shuke was obviously a little tired.
"Well, there's no rush. Take a rest first."
Bai Qi patted Shuke's head, and then put Shuke into the evolution egg.
The mechanical spark is now Shuke's origin. If it is damaged because of the awakening spirit, it would be a loss.
With the activation of Yu and Jiuding, various equipment in the secret base were connected one by one and uniformly managed by the Jiuding system, and various research projects that Shuke had temporarily shelved were also restarted.
And this is the reason why Shuke gave up the Qi Ling combat machine and chose the Jiuding system, a large-scale intelligent computer.
"But in this case, this secret realm seems even less than enough."
Bai Qi looked at the Six Sword Guards who were starting to expand the base again and began to have a headache again.
"It seems that I have to find a bigger secret place again."
Glancing at the secret realm where the open space was getting smaller and smaller, Bai Qi listed these things in his to-do list and then left the secret realm.
…
Boom boom boom…
Bai Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, put away the intelligent computer in his hand, opened the door, looked at the dusty Luo Xiang outside the door, and said: "Instructor Luo, do you want to take a rest?"
"No, just go ahead."
Luo Xiang shook his head, his eyes swept across the five spell patterns on the back of Bai Qi's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You're already at level five?"
Bai Qi nodded and said, "I just got the upgrade a few days ago, and I haven't had time to tell the president yet."
"Yes, if you are a fifth-level beastmaster, you should be able to gain more in this secret realm."
Luo Xiang smiled and said, "Who knows, it may be beyond everyone's expectations."
Hearing Luo Xiang mention the secret realm, Bai Qi also became interested and said, "Coach Luo, can you tell me what the secret realm is like this time?"
"There's no rush. We can talk about it on the way."
Luo Xiang waved his hand, signaling Bai Qi to come to the back of the North Wind Wild Eagle, and said, "You should have contracted the fifth pet, right? Hurry and summon it out for me to see."
"Um... don't rush this. Instructor Luo, shouldn't you first explain to me where we are going? I remember you said it was very dangerous..."
Bai Qi looked helplessly at Luo Xiang who was full of curiosity, and suddenly began to worry about this journey.
I always feel it's unreliable...
