Gerald didn't want to choose because neither of the two options Louis gave him met his expectations.
Looking at the overview diagram he had painstakingly created, he asked in bewilderment, "Why are you not satisfied with such an excellent idea?"
Louis was dumbfounded.
Looking at the overview diagram and then at Gerald's serious expression, I despaired to find that he genuinely didn't see the problem and was confident in his own ideas.
"It's excellent in every way, but it doesn't fit my aesthetic."
Louis, too lazy to argue with him, said firmly, "There are only two choices, there is no third choice, so choose quickly."
"Could you...?"
"No, I can't dissuade you from your thoughts. I will never compromise, not even if it means death."
He still wants to work in the mecha industry, and he can't let Gerald ruin his reputation.
This overview diagram is truly an eyesore. If you actually build a mecha according to his ideas, the finished product will be equally unsightly.
As the father of bio-mechs, he would never tarnish his own reputation.
Louis's attitude was so resolute that Gerald's earnest persuasion came to an abrupt halt.
After struggling with the decision for a long time, he sighed deeply and said weakly, "I choose you."
Louis nodded in satisfaction and extended his hand to him, saying, "I wish us a pleasant collaboration. When the finished product is ready, you will be glad you made the choice today."
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
Gerald is willing to accept any design, as long as Louis delivers a high-quality product.
He reached out and shook hands with Louis, still unwilling to give up, and said, "Can't we really discuss this some more?"
"We can talk about the price now."
Louis gave an irrelevant answer, and Gerald's lips twitched; there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
"Okay, let's talk about the price."
This time, Gerald was completely disheartened.
Then, the two of them started discussing the price while Sang Ning and the others were watching.
They said they were talking about prices, but they didn't really talk about them.
Because Louis quoted a price directly, leaving Gerald no room for negotiation.
Gerald, after a perfunctory attempt at bargaining, agreed to Louis's offer.
Then, after drafting the contract, uploading it to the official website for review, and going through all the procedures, Louis received 30 million.
This is half of the deposit; the remaining half will be paid after the mecha is completed.
Sang Ning watched with envy. After the transaction between the two was completely completed, she asked Louis, "Is it too late for me to learn armor making from you now?"
Louis, "???"
Louis looked at her in confusion. "Are you sick? Otherwise, why are you talking nonsense?"
Sang Ning's lips twitched. "Just tell me directly whether it can be done or not, don't give me this nonsense."
"No, I can't. I can't teach you, and you can't learn it either."
He opened his terminal, found a few pages of his student notes, and sent them to her, saying, "Take a look and see if you can understand these elementary school facts."
"!!!"
Sang Ning felt looked down upon. She angrily opened her terminal to receive the notes sent by Louis, but after glancing at them, she immediately gave up the idea of studying the Armored Rank.
"I can't learn it."
Most of the symbols and characters in the notes are understandable and recognizable when viewed individually.
They can be combined together...
Sorry, but it is indeed something beyond her knowledge system.
Sang Ning couldn't understand, "Do elementary school students have to learn this?"
"Only those involved in mecha manufacturing and shipbuilding learn these skills."
Louis explained, "These two industries involve too many specialized fields of knowledge; it's impossible to learn all of them without starting from elementary school."
Luo Tianya and the others nodded in agreement, and Mu Tao added, "Our world has ten top-tier majors, but in terms of difficulty, mecha manufacturing and shipbuilding are the most outstanding."
"Ordinary geniuses are only assistants in these two industries. Only high-IQ geniuses like Louis can shine in this field."
"Because the knowledge system involved is too vast, even if you study day and night, it is impossible to learn it all in a semester."
"After the regular coursework is completed, it will take another ten years for further study."
"This is why, out of the top ten prestigious majors, only spaceship and mecha manufacturing have an absurdly large number of openings every year, yet they still can't recruit even ten students."
At this point, he said with some resentment, "Of all the majors, even if you build as many mechs and ships as you want, you still won't have enough money to spend."
That's the truth; the annual government funding for these two majors is an astronomical figure.
The school provides all the raw materials needed for the research and development process, so students don't need to worry about waste or saving; they can just go all out and create.
No matter how rare or precious the materials are, if you need them, just submit a report and the school will arrange it for you immediately. If not, the logistics department will procure them as soon as possible and deliver them to you.
In terms of happiness, these two majors are among the best of all.
After listening to Mu Tao and the others, Sang Ning made a decision.
"Louis, give me a copy of your old class schedule."
"No problem, but what do you need the course schedule for? Are you really planning to take the courses?"
"No, my brain is stuck. I just can't keep up with learning from scratch. I'm going to go back and learn from Stone and the others."
These two majors offer high employment rates, prestige, and status; studying them guarantees a bright future, wealth, fame, and status.
We need to encourage Xiao Shitou and his friends to work harder and develop in these two fields.
Once they've learned it, they can build their own mechs and spaceships—how wonderful!
Little Stone and his friends, who were being trained by Emmanuel and Elliott to kill insects, suddenly couldn't stop sneezing because their noses were itchy.
Then my hands started shaking.
The slight tremor in their hand caused their attack to miss its target.
Not only did they fail to kill the sandworm in one blow, but the sandworm also seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack. With a scorpion-like flick of its tail, the entire worm leaped high into the air, its sharp mouthparts aimed at biting at the heads of Little Stone and the others.
If that bite lands firmly, Little Stone and the others will be half-dead, if not killed.
Unfortunately, sandworms don't have that opportunity.
Because Little Stone and his friends have two good teachers and a bunch of robot bodyguards protecting them.
Almost as soon as the sandworms leaped up, the robotic bodyguards standing guard activated their weapon systems and launched a swift and fierce attack on them.
With a series of thuds, one sandworm after another was thrown out, its head smashed to pieces.
In a short while, a pile of sandworm corpses appeared in the training area.
Those insects that were drawn by the scent of flesh and blood, ready to feast, only to find their companions dead, immediately swung their tails, sending out a message like "the wind is blowing hard, let's get out of here!" and scattered in all directions to escape.
Food is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain these days. In the past, we could at least eat some meat every now and then, but now, let alone meat, we're just grateful if the food doesn't chase after us.
The sandworm was filled with grief and indignation, unable to understand what was wrong with the world.
