Chapter 812: The Two Brothers Who Love and Hate Each Other
Xiao Shiqiu complained bluntly, "Don't you think about it? Last time you went back, you wanted to take everything you saw, even the R&D director's chair! Even the Japanese invaders entering the village weren't as ruthless as you!"
"Hey, you know what, the director's chair is really comfortable to sit on. My back pain goes away when I sit on it, and the backrest just supports my waist.
And it moves very smoothly. You can control the chair by touching the armrests, and it has a continuously variable speed."
It was obvious that he was still obsessed with the chair. "Are you really not going to produce some and sell them?"
"If you want to buy a chair, go find that kid Gu Muchen. I don't have time to deal with these things. The director had the chair custom-made for himself."
I was a little curious. "Is that an electric wheelchair? Does the director have difficulty walking?"
Xiao Shiqiu was startled, then burst into laughter. "The director has all the limbs in good health, he just doesn't like to walk, commonly known as 'lazy'."
As expected, most of the inventions in this world are inspirations that humans came up with just to be lazy.
"So those guys with strong limbs don't deserve to own such a chair." Speaking of recent events, Xiao Shiqiu still didn't forget to make fun of Wen Congwu.
"Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity and friendship in front of your wife. Be careful not to let her misunderstand that you're turning your love for me into hatred."
Wen Congwu was joking with him shamelessly, and I was watching the two old men bickering with great pleasure.
What is said on the Internet is right. When you are with different friends, you will have different ways of getting along with them.
I think their love-hate relationship is quite heartwarming. If Wen Congwu looked more handsome, I think I would support them as a couple.
"If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, and if my wife wasn't involved, do you think I would take you with me?"
Xiao Shiqiu snorted lightly and said somewhat arrogantly, “Most of the things in there are still considered by the outside world to be under development.
People abroad only know that we are researching this in China, but they don’t know it has been released. However, due to cost issues, it cannot be mass-produced yet.”
The car turned into an inconspicuous road, with tall poplar trees on both sides forming a natural barrier.
After the car drove for about ten minutes, an inconspicuous iron gate appeared in front of it. There was no sign at the door, only two young men in ordinary security uniforms standing in the guard booth.
Xiao Shiqiu lowered the car window and blinked at a circular camera at the door. The machine made a soft beeping sound and the iron door slowly opened.
"Doesn't this facial recognition require opening your mouth or shaking your head or anything like that?" I consider myself quite experienced with this type of verification.
"This is not facial recognition, it's iris recognition. Facial recognition can be forged, but iris recognition is almost impossible to forge." Xiao Shiqiu said lightly, but I noticed that he glanced at Wen Congwu casually.
What a fighting cock!
As the car drove into the park, the scene in front of me made me a little disappointed.
From the outside, this place looks like a state-owned factory from the 1980s and 1990s.
Once inside, it looked even more like it. Several old-fashioned factory buildings that looked a bit shabby were lined up neatly, and the only thing missing was the word "demolished" painted on the walls with red paint.
There is a small pond in the center. It looks like it has been dry for a long time and there is not even moss growing on the bottom of the pond.
If it weren't for the tall, dense trees around it that still had some vitality, and if it weren't for a few dusty vans in the open space, no matter which angle I looked at it from, this would be an abandoned factory.
The only thing that makes people feel a little uncomfortable is that although this is a suburb, it is also City A where every inch of land is valuable. How could the government allow such a large area to be abandoned?
If this is flattened, it will take minutes to plan it into several residential areas.
"This place covers 200 acres. Officially, it's registered as a logistics transfer station under STG," Xiao Shiqiu explained. "In reality, the R&D center is located underground."
The driver parked the car in front of a seemingly ordinary warehouse. Xiao Yang followed us out of the car, and the driver stayed in the car.
Entering the factory, there is an ordinary-looking elevator near the door. After entering, there is no button like -1F, only two options: first floor and second floor.
I was wondering when I saw Xiao Shiqiu press his index finger on the blank area of the key panel. The metal cover next to the key slid down, revealing a black glass panel.
Xiao Shiqiu spoke clearly into the touch screen: "Xiao Shiqiu, authority level A."
After the elevator doors closed, I felt a slight sense of weightlessness as the elevator descended. About twenty seconds later, the elevator doors opened again, and the scene before me made me gasp.
An underground space as big as a football field appears before your eyes, and the LED light strips on the ceiling emit a soft white light.
Dozens of workbenches are neatly arranged, and scientific researchers in white coats are busy in front of various instruments.
Many of them are obviously foreigners.
A huge display screen on the wall constantly refreshes data and charts, and several humanoid robots are conducting flexibility tests in the corner.
"Welcome to the core area of Zhixu R&D Center." Xiao Shiqiu's voice was filled with unconcealable pride.
Wen Congwu was like a kid in a candy store, his eyes wide. "The last time I came here, it wasn't this large-scale! Are you calling in the entire Eight-Nation Alliance?"
A man in his fifties with gray hair walked towards us quickly with someone who looked like an assistant.
The old man wore thick glasses and the pockets of his white coat were filled with various pens and tools.
When the old man heard Wen Congwu's words, he paused and retorted with a mixture of anger and amusement, "Captain Wen, what are you trying to loot this time? You even want to take my old man's chair?"
As soon as I heard this, I knew that the person in front of me was the director mentioned by the sworn enemies.
Xiao Shiqiu introduced me, "Mengmeng, this is Director Wang Yide here. He is mainly responsible for the research tasks here.
He also came when we got engaged last time. I wonder if you still remember him."
There were thousands of people present, so how could I possibly have any impression of him? However, I still smiled and said cooperatively, "Haha, I do have an impression. Director Wang has an elegant demeanor and looks very knowledgeable."
Director Wang saw through it but didn't say anything. He just smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Xiao, your wife looks younger than she did at the engagement party. You are such a lucky old cow. You must be careful to protect her."
The old cow next to me had a black face, but it was obvious that he respected Director Wang very much. He looked frustrated with a black face but a forced smile, which made Wen Congwu laugh with glee on the side.
Xiao Shiqiu coughed twice, trying to save his dignity, and said seriously, "Director, we came here today because of the matter I mentioned to you last time. There is an undercover operation on the Congwu side, and the other party may have many murders on their hands, so we came to see if there is anything that can save lives. Don't be stingy with the money, we can use it and do it again."
