Chapter 202 Deep Virtual Reality 29
When Xie Ning returned to the lab, Director Crete was frowning and looking displeased. Xie Ning glanced at him discreetly and saw a photo of one of the twins.
Her heart leaped into her throat. Xie Ning put the metal box aside, calmed herself down, and then sat down next to Jiang Teng. She didn't need to help him now because 037's organs had suddenly failed and needed to be replaced by Director Crete.
Are the twins to be handed over to Director Crete?
She hadn't gotten any information beforehand, so she was naturally powerless to help Silvermoon and the others with their requests. If the twins were handed over to Director Crete, there was a high probability that a mechanical fusion experiment would be conducted.
Xie Ning watched the numbers on the data panel steadily decreasing, which proved that 037's life was slowly slipping away. He was just an ordinary android with no special abilities and could not bear this kind of pain. Perhaps death was a relief.
When all the values dropped to zero, Xie Ning pressed the reminder button. Below, Director Crete angrily threw down his gloves. He was having a very bad day; all the test subjects had died, and the pair of test subjects he had requested had not yet been received.
Today's experiment ended exceptionally early, allowing Xie Ning to rush back and cook dinner for herself instead of pitifully eating expensive and unpalatable food in the cafeteria with the others.
Even if her own cooking isn't very good, she can choose to stir-fry some vegetarian vegetables and bean products instead of eating processed meat.
Real meat is too expensive, far less cost-effective than synthetic meat, but synthetic meat tastes bad, so Xie Ning chooses to eat vegetarian food.
Although there was no sunlight, the technology of growing vegetables using artificial light was already quite advanced. However, while the vegetables weren't bad, they were rather bland. She noticed this when she ate her first bowl of knife-cut noodles, but seeing that Zhan Lin was enjoying them, she didn't ask any questions.
I found out all of this by secretly researching later.
Although there were no more experiments tonight, Xie Ning still had to be on duty. After handing over the data to the other assistants in the main office, Xie Ning returned to his own area.
With cameras in the office, Xie Ning couldn't do anything else. Just then, the books Chu Qing had sent arrived, so she focused on reading them.
"Beep beep—"
"Clerk Xie Ning, please proceed to the testing area. Weapon PX-8 has been damaged and requires your repair."
Kno's voice came through, and Xie Ning, while getting up and putting on her coat, asked, "Where are the repairmen? Why did you call me?"
"Dr. Ji is in charge of the PX-8 series weapons. He is not in the experimental area right now, so he asked you to go and repair them."
Xie Ning pulled up the data and checked it, and found that this series of weapons was indeed specially handled by Dr. Ji. Only then did he feel relieved and picked up the metal toolbox to head to the testing ground.
Meanwhile, in the testing area, a group of engineers watched in awe at the white-haired girl. She looked so frail, yet she could repeatedly rise from the clutches of the dangerous creatures they released, her body torn apart and then healing itself at an ever-increasing speed.
"This is unbelievable! Crete actually wants this pair of test subjects? How is that possible?"
"Yes, Professor Lillian will not agree."
"Has the repairman not arrived yet, Krono?"
The cold, electronic female voice calmly stated, "Dr. Ji is not in the experimental area, so we arranged for someone else to come over. They are already outside the testing field."
"Oh, I almost forgot, the weapon upgrade this time was done by Dr. Ji, and other maintenance personnel can't repair it."
Xie Ning, who had rushed over, was still negotiating with the heavily guarded armed personnel.
After his identity was confirmed, Xie Ning picked up the metal toolbox that was on the ground. At the same time, another group of people walked in from the end of the corridor.
Their uniforms were similar in style to Xie Ning's, but more upscale. The woman in the lead had white hair and wrinkles around her eyes. She walked along while talking to her assistant beside her.
Xie Ning did not know this professor. She had not been here long and had not yet fully grasped the situation of the entire experimental area.
Professor Lillian looked at Xie Ning expressionlessly, her brows slightly furrowed. "Why did you let unauthorized personnel in?"
Xie Ning said calmly, "Hello, I am the repairman for this project. The PX-8 is damaged and needs repair."
Upon hearing this, Professor Lillian's expression softened, and she allowed Xie Ning to follow the group of testers behind her inside.
Dr. Ji had taught Xie Ning how to repair this type of weapon, and now it was finally coming in handy, giving Xie Ning the feeling that Dr. Ji had specifically taught her so that she could be freed from her constraints.
After the weapon was repaired, Xie Ning prepared to leave. She saw who the test subject was, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
He even had to personally repair the muzzle of the gun that was firing at her.
"etc."
A tester caught up with Xie Ning and said with a smile, "Clerk Xie Ning, to prevent the PX-8 weapon from being damaged again, please remain on standby in the observation area."
