During the days that Xu Shi had imprisoned him, Luo Zhikang felt like he was being tortured to the point of madness.
There are many reasons for all this: the terrible environment, the ineffective lighting, the shoddy food... but the most important reason is only one.
It can't be solved.
Actually, not long after he got his hands on it, he noticed that the "Haihe" that Xu Shixin had brought was different from the one that Shen He had asked someone to bring him before.
It was obvious that it had undergone further modifications and upgrades... He didn't pay much attention to it at first.
As the former chief engineer of a top conglomerate, Luo Zhikang possesses an inherent sense of pride and self-confidence.
If you can crack the previous ones, then this one should be no problem either.
He has spent his entire life working with machinery, and his knowledge base is enormous.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't find a way to crack the small drone in front of him!
Not to mention that the kernel's blocking and keys left him completely helpless, even his most proficient external destruction was proving difficult to operate.
If you are not careful, it will be very difficult to reassemble the disassembled parts back to their original state.
This was by no means an attempt by Xu Shi to make things difficult—the tools provided to him by "Snake Ring" were a million times better than those from "Spark".
If it weren't for the heavy guards outside the door 24 hours a day, he would have been able to break down the door of the solitary confinement cell and escape.
It's simply a matter of being technically inferior; in terms of thinking and understanding, they were completely outmatched by the maker of this machine.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, the ever-increasing sense of frustration was pushing him to the brink of collapse.
"It should, it should be interpreted this way... No, no!"
"So, we can use this formula in reverse... but that's not right either!"
"Hahaha, I get it... Damn it, it's theoretically correct, so why isn't it working! Why!"
Such roars were constant, and even the guards at the gate were fed up with them.
"I'm impressed. Has Chairman Xu locked up a lunatic? Wouldn't it be better to send him to a mental hospital?"
"Sparrow food, my buddy, I dream about this old guy howling in my ear every night, making my wife think I'm having an affair."
But they shut their mouths the next second, because they saw Xu Shi walking towards them.
"Restore the power to the solitary confinement cells."
Xu Shi ignored their gossip, gave a soft instruction, and then opened the tightly locked door.
The lights in the room suddenly turned on, and Luo Zhikang was suddenly greeted by the long-lost brightness, causing him to instinctively close his eyes and shrink back.
"It seems that Mr. Luo has encountered some trouble?"
Xu Shi looked down at Luo Zhikang, who was kneeling in front of him in a disheveled state, and asked with a smile.
“Xu Shi…”
Luo Zhikang was stunned for a moment, then stared at him and snorted coldly.
It's as if she's protesting, implying that all this trouble is your fault.
This attitude left Xu Shi speechless.
Honestly, how can these people not realize that they are the perpetrators, and that they themselves are the weak, pitiful, and helpless victims?
You were the ones who targeted me first, yet you can still act so self-righteous after being arrested.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it and instead became serious. "The process of cracking the drone must not be going smoothly, right? Do you have a lot of questions you want to ask?"
"For example...here?"
He casually pointed to a messy spot on the ground.
"..."
Luo Zhikang did not answer. Although he was troubled, he had no intention of bowing down to the person in front of him.
But before he could react, Xu Shi began to explain to him the specific structure and details of that place.
He deliberately spoke slowly so that the other person could hear him clearly.
"...That's about it, Mr. Luo. Did you understand?"
"..."
Luo Zhikang remained silent, but his expression changed from defiant to shocked.
Xu Shi's explanation completely cleared up his doubts, and his drowsy consciousness instantly became clear.
The mind-bending designs and micro-management techniques he encountered were truly impressive—he could never have come up with such a method if he weren't a genius engineer.
In contrast, Luo Zhikang felt increasingly ashamed of himself.
"How about we leave it at that for now? I'll come see Mr. Luo again in a while."
Xu Shi seemed to have come here specifically for this purpose. After finishing his explanation to Luo Zhikang, he got up to leave, saying, "I wish you good health."
"……etc!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Luo Zhikang finally couldn't hold back and called out to him.
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
Xu turned around and pretended not to understand.
"...And what about here? How was the air pressure issue at this three-way connection resolved?"
Luo Zhikang shakily reached out his hand and pointed to another part of the drone.
"This..."
Xu Shi looked him over, then shook his head. "I'm not telling you."
"Mr. Luo, don't forget, this is our bet."
His tone carried a hint of regret, "I told you this out of good intentions, but you can't ask me about everything, can you?"
"Of course, if you can admit your failure... then that's a different story."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
To be fair, compared to Gu Yi or Xia Wuyou, Luo Zhikang doesn't have any obvious weaknesses.
Alone and without relatives or friends, his loyalty to "Tianhe" or rather to Chenhe made him unafraid of the threat of death.
But that doesn’t mean he had no weaknesses—arrogance and paranoia.
