Chapter 38 After thinking about it, I still think being queen is the best option... "Hill..."
"Sylph!" Irene rushed over and ran quickly to the door, looking at Sang Zhitao sitting next to her, and called out urgently.
"Yi, Lei!" Sang Zhitao also happily brought the writing board to the door.
"Sylph? What... what's wrong with you?!" Irene's expression changed drastically when she saw that Sylph was not speaking and was only holding up a screen. She hurriedly asked.
Sang Zhitao hurriedly put down her writing board and was about to explain, but before she could speak, the commander stopped the nearly enraged Yi Lei.
"It's alright, this is something she has to go through, don't worry." The commander comforted Irene for a while before finally calming her down.
At this moment, Sang Zhitao explained the situation using a writing board, and Yi Lei finally felt relieved.
She watched as Sang Zhitao looked her up and down carefully before asking with some concern, "Are you really okay?"
"It's really, really okay. Losing this once is just saving up some luck~" Sang Zhitao nodded and sang a response song.
Seeing her like this, Irene was finally relieved. Irene smiled and said to Sang Zhitao, "Our wind elves have now moved their home planet to the vicinity of Mermaid Star. Platinum and Laru have set their wedding date for a year from now. I estimate that you can come and attend their wedding then."
Sang Zhitao looked at her in disbelief, her eyes filled with a strong thirst for knowledge.
Seeing how adorable she was, it was as if Irene had returned to the days when Sang Zhi Tao was small and nestled in her palm all day long. She couldn't help but smile and reply, "Yes, Laru will marry into our Wind Elf family."
"Wow~" Sang Zhitao couldn't help but cheer before she lowered her head, typed a few words, and handed them to Yi Lei.
Yi Lei glanced at it, nodded and said, "Yes, your Eastern Kingdom's culture is so rich. It's being admired by the entire Star Alliance now, especially those powerful women in your history. They're practically idols for young people."
Hearing Yi Lei's sincere praise, Sang Zhitao couldn't help but let out a big smile.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and it seemed like they had endless things to talk about. However, looking at the person in charge waiting to connect with the commander, even the thick-skinned Sang Zhitao couldn't bring herself to delay other people's work. So, after exchanging a few words with Yi Lei, she moved aside.
Yi Lei had no objections. She was just a little worried about Sang Zhitao's safety, but now that she knew Sang Zhitao was alright, she had nothing to worry about.
After saying goodbye to Yi Lei, Sang Zhitao finally shook off her previous gloom and returned to the observation room to go online and read the novels that Yi Lei had recommended.
"Tao Tao, are you playing?" Li Mingguo said with a friendly smile as he entered the observation room with a stack of documents.
Sang Zhitao nodded, looking curiously at the document in his hand.
Li Mingguo tossed the documents in his hand and said with a smile, "This is the plan I had them make according to your previous ideas. You can take a look."
Sang Zhitao took the document, and what came into view was a "Preliminary Feasibility Study on Supporting Second-Generation Managers for Machine Star" clearly written in black and white.
"?" Sang Zhitao looked at the highly official-sounding title, unconsciously took a breath, and leaned back slightly.
"Take a look first, and if there are any problems, we'll adjust them." Li Mingguo was amused by her actions and laughed out loud.
Sang Zhitao looked at the words on the document, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the writing tablet and started typing away.
Seeing that she wasn't looking at the documents but instead tapping on her writing board, Li Mingguo couldn't help but curiously lean closer to take a look.
As he watched the words appear on the whiteboard, his expression grew increasingly grave. Only after Sang Zhitao finished typing did he straighten up and say, "You mean, you still plan to become the manager yourself?"
Sang Zhitao looked at him and nodded solemnly.
“But Tao Tao, this will put a lot of pressure on you. The knowledge required to manage a planet is far beyond what you can imagine.” Li Mingguo looked at the girl in front of him. Her face showed a maturity beyond her years, a mark left by her experience of growing up in an orphanage.
Sang Zhitao looked at him and nodded solemnly again.
Seeing this, Li Mingguo sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Since that's the case, I'll have someone revise the plan. Rest assured, the country will always be your support."
When Sang Zhitao saw that he agreed, she couldn't help but smile broadly.
Seeing her so happy, Li Mingguo didn't say anything more. After thinking for a moment, he said to Sang Zhitao, "Then go back a little later this time and try to write down your thoughts and plans, including what happened over there."
Sang Zhitao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Li Mingguo took the documents and left with a sigh.
Sang Zhitao's decision quickly spread among the base's higher-ups. Everyone had different opinions, but they all expressed concern for Sang Zhitao.
In their hearts, Sang Zhitao was a pure and kind child who had experienced many hardships. They couldn't imagine that Sang Zhitao would become the master of a planet. However, despite thinking this way, they still supported Sang Zhitao wholeheartedly on the surface.
"Tao Tao, do you think I should modify you a bit to increase your combat power?" Wang Le said thoughtfully, stroking his chin after circling around Sang Zhi Tao.
“That’s right. Even if you have people from the Nature Faction helping you, you still need to be able to protect yourself.” Another researcher, Zhang Fan, chimed in.
"In that case, we need to request that weapons designers come over." Professor Su Guoxi, who was analyzing data nearby, also stepped forward to join in the discussion.
"Great! Professor, you should apply for it, and we'll look into it." Seeing that the professor was supportive, Wang Le couldn't help but clap his hands in approval.
Their conversation was immediately overheard by the researchers nearby, who immediately began to offer suggestions. One suggested adding an electromagnetic cannon, another suggested adding a jammer, and yet another suggested adding aqua regia.
Listening to everyone's increasingly imaginative ideas, Sang Zhitao twitched her lips, shook her head speechlessly, picked up her writing board, tapped it a few times, and then held it up high for them to see.
Wang Le was the first to discover the writing board. Looking at the words on it, he unconsciously murmured, "First, deal with the problems that can be passed over."
As soon as he uttered those words, everyone felt as if they had been doused with cold water at the height of their joy. In the end, looking at Sang Zhitao, who was watching them obediently, and then at the writing board, they all turned away with disappointment and frustration to continue with their original work.
“Not necessarily. In the Elf world, we mostly tried to get you to bring things over using external objects. But now your body is mechanical. If we integrate the weapon into your body structure, that becomes your own ability. Perhaps the so-called limits are no longer limits.” Wang Le, with his rather imaginative mind, frowned and suddenly spoke up.
Su Guoxi thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "I think that makes sense. We can try it first. Let the Military Research Institute send over a few researchers so we can do a simple experiment."
"Actually, verified?" Sang Zhitao asked curiously, holding up her writing board.
Su Guoxi nodded before saying, "Anyway, your interdimensional travel this time is controllable, so take this opportunity to test it out, otherwise you won't know what the next world will be like."
After hearing what he said, Sang Zhitao thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Seeing that she agreed, Su Guoxi's usually stern face broke into a smile, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had thought that Sang Zhitao wouldn't agree. However, even so, he knew in his heart that this matter had to be applied for from the base.
Soon, Su Guoxi arrived at the observation room with the military team's researchers.
Upon seeing several unfamiliar young researchers, Sang Zhitao couldn't help but think to herself, "Sure enough, all the good-looking ones have been handed over to the state."
"Tao Tao, how about we try adding a launch chamber and a machine gun inside you this time?" Su Guoxi gently discussed with Sang Zhitao, his face showing no signs of the fatigue from being tormented by Li Mingguo.
It's not surprising that Li Mingguo was cautious. Sang Zhitao's importance was beyond doubt, and they would never agree to risk her life. In fact, if it could ensure Sang Zhitao's safety, they would be willing to send a whole company of men to protect her.
However, the security issues raised by Su Guoxi regarding Sang Zhitao's rebellion plan on Machine Star are indeed something they should pay attention to. After all, it's obvious that it will be a dangerous situation. And it's unrealistic to rely entirely on the Natural Faction for Sang Zhitao's safety, since the Natural Faction's combat strength is far inferior to that of the regular army.
In particular, Su Guoxi vowed to protect Sang Zhitao well and to obtain her permission before any modifications. Su Guoxi was even sent to the analysis team for a comprehensive analysis. His interpersonal relationships, all his external devices, and his dormitory were all thoroughly and strictly inspected to prevent the old professor from ruining his reputation and taking advantage of the situation to harm Sang Zhitao.
Of course, although Su Guoxi was unhappy with the country's distrust of him, he approved of the base's actions. Since he had not betrayed the country, he was not afraid of the country's inspection. However, he had been exhausted from dealing with the situation for the past few days, and his face showed signs of fatigue.
Sang Zhitao was unaware of his past experiences, but she knew the danger and importance of the matter. However, she trusted the country and believed that it would not allow her to suffer any harm, so she nodded in agreement without hesitation.
They first used equipment to carefully examine Sang Zhitao's body inside and out, especially the internal pathways and structures, which were measured repeatedly. In the end, they made a one-to-one replica to test the basic concept.
With the help of the military team and the physics department, Su Guoxi's students, along with the physics department, finally managed to add a miniature Gatling gun to Sang Zhitao's left arm after half a month of research and experimentation.
"Try it out, can you handle the recoil?" Su Guoxi helped Sang Zhitao put on the modified arm, then took her to the test site, pointed to the target not far away, and carefully instructed her.
Sang Zhitao could not hide her excitement. She hugged her left hand and nodded vigorously. This was the first time she had ever used a gun, especially a Gatling gun that she had modified from her own arm. She was already bursting with excitement.
She has always been simple-minded, and her thoughts are always written on her face.
Su Guoxi could only give a few detailed instructions with a wry smile, then took a few steps back, made sure everyone paid attention to the data, and then signaled to Sang Zhitao that they could begin.
"Rat-a-tat-tat!" The sound of bullets exploding rang out continuously, and finally fell silent as all the targets in front of him were reduced to fragments.
"What's wrong?" Su Guoxi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sang Zhitao's expression, as if she wanted to do something again.
Sang Zhitao stared into a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, unable to hide the excitement on her face, and nodded repeatedly.
Su Guoxi smiled and patted her head before asking about other feelings: "Is the recoil acceptable? Are there any parts that aren't smooth enough? Would you like to be a little smaller?"
Sang Zhitao told the other party about her feelings one by one. After seeing Su Guoxi and others take notes, she removed her left hand and waited for Su Guoxi and others to help her further improve it.
Su Guoxi led his men to the control room for further improvements, while Sang Zhitao lay on the bed, unable to contain her excitement, dreaming of herself wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
