Chapter 190

Ai Baozhu next to her added after she finished speaking: "However, Life Science Machinery Co., Ltd. has limited products each year and sells them all over the world, so even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them, let alone visit their processing plants. Our family only bought a sweeping robot, but it is quite worth it. In addition to its main job, this sweeping robot can also entertain people and help find dropped jewelry."

"We bought a sparring robot." Qi Huang was quite satisfied with his robot. "When you have the chance to come to my house, you can practice with it. The robot's offensive ideas are quite interesting."

Her fighting skills are among the best in the class, and it seems that she has something to do with the robot.

Seeing that both of them bought products from "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.", everyone couldn't help but look at Si Zhaohua and Feng Lan, wanting to know what they bought.

"Butler assistant robot." Si Zhaohua understood what they meant and answered immediately.

Qi Huang said with a displeased "tsk", "The most expensive one."

Among the many products produced by this company, the butler assistant robot is definitely the most expensive. A butler is responsible for many things, and as a butler assistant, the chip naturally needs to store a lot of knowledge.

Moreover, the butlers of large families have high IQ and EQ. This means that the life given to the butler assistant must be of a higher level in order to be competent for the job of butler.

In other words, the Si family is rich enough, otherwise they would not be able to buy this robot.

Finally, it was Feng Lan, who lived up to everyone's expectations, but he said very briefly: "We bought a kitchen package."

When these words were spoken, Si Zhaohua and the other two showed surprised expressions, but then smiles appeared in their eyes.

Wu Mingbai was quick to notice their abnormality and asked decisively: "For example"

After a moment of silence, Feng Lan chose to answer: "Mechanical teapot, mechanical teacup, mechanical shovel, mechanical pot..."

Lan Subing asked a soul-searching question: "Beauty and the Beast"

Everyone burst into laughter. Of course! Those machines are alive, which means they can make tea and cook for themselves. They are really like the cursed tea sets in the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

Feng Lan became a little withdrawn, sitting in her seat without saying a word.

Su Bei said righteously: "Don't be like this, is it wrong for Feng Lan to want to be a fairy tale princess?"

"You didn't let him go either." Zhao Xiaoyu tried hard to hold back her laughter.

After watching the excitement, Meng Huai spoke again: "Okay, listen to me. No photos are allowed on this trip. Although it's not good for you to see any secrets, it's also best not to tell anyone."

These are all routine requests, and no one has any objections. The iron man asked again: "Why do we have to go here for entertainment activities?"

Although the idea that "the academy arranges entertainment activities for them because they have been training hard during this period" is quite reasonable, it seems inappropriate when applied to Meng Huai.

Especially since they haven't been trained well, their teamwork is still a mess - there's no reason for Meng Huai to let them have a holiday.

As he expected, Meng Huai smiled sarcastically: "What are you dreaming about? I brought you here to show you how the mechanical parts fit together and to learn from their spirit."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh and muttered softly: "Although I don't think it's of any use."

This is the traditional art of the "Infinite Power Academy". Because they have reached a cooperation with "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.", they often send students in to broaden their horizons under various pretexts.

Especially when teamwork is needed every year, the group of living mechanical parts do work in perfect harmony, but Meng Huaijian does not think that they can give students any inspiration in this regard.

But who can say that arms can't twist thighs? You have to go anyway: "This time you go there and you will have the opportunity to buy products for free. If you need it, prepare money. You can check the official website."

"Teacher... can I not go?" Mu Tieren suddenly raised his hand and asked. Noticing everyone's surprised looks, he quickly added, "I think if I have this time, I might as well continue to practice physical training at school. Anyway, I wasn't selected for the reserve team, right? There's no need to practice cooperation skills by observing."

As a rare obedient student in the class, Mu Tieren had never objected to the school and teacher's arrangement before, and this was the first time. What was even more surprising was that he refused an activity that sounded very interesting.

Meng Huai was also a little surprised. He turned around and looked at him for a few seconds before refusing, "No, this is the school's arrangement. Everyone in Class S has to go."

Then he used his own words to refute him: "You didn't make the reserve team anyway, so it's time to relax after all the training."

After arranging the work, Meng Huai turned around and left. Everyone started discussing the whole matter.

The first person to be discussed was of course the wooden iron man who had just refused to participate in the event. Jiang Tianming looked at the wooden iron man with concern: "Captain, are you okay? Is there any problem with this event?"

Everyone could see that Mu Tieren's refusal was very strange. First of all, the reason he gave was completely untenable. Just like Meng Huai said, there was no need to participate in the three-school competition, so why work so hard?

Although Mu Tieren has always been a hard-working person, he has not worked so hard as to not participate in activities just to have more time to practice.

Secondly, he had never refused any activity arranged by the academy or teachers. Whether it was hard labor like moving tables and books, or tasks like sparring and lecturing, he would always take it on obediently. In everyone's impression, he was such a standard good boy, a traditional class monitor.

The event at Life Science Machinery Co., Ltd. was definitely not unpleasant, so why would he refuse?

Therefore, Jiang Tianming's question was also a subtle way of asking him whether he had any unspeakable secrets and whether he needed his help.

However, the wooden iron man obviously had no intention of telling the truth. He even realized that he had just been exposed and began to frantically make excuses: "It's okay, I was overthinking it. The teacher was right, I don't need to train so intensely. It's just that I saw that you guys were progressing too fast, and I was a little anxious, so I wanted to seize every moment."

This explanation was quite reasonable, so Jiang Tianming did not ask any further questions.

He might have been reassured by the wooden iron man, but Su Bei had not. Su Bei looked at the wooden iron man thoughtfully and began to think.

As far as he knew, the Iron Man had secrets that had not yet been revealed. His ability to suddenly explode, the black smoke coming out of his body, and the red light flashing in his eyes all hinted at his extraordinaryness.

Is he going to reveal his secret this time? But what does this have to do with "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd."

With a vague guess in mind, Su Bei withdrew his gaze.

The others were chatting, Ai Baozhu laughed and teased, "By the way, I'm also planning to buy a kitchen package. Feng Lan, since you've already bought it, tell us about your user experience."

She admitted that she just wanted to see the excitement, mainly because these big families should have special servants for making tea and cooking, so they don't need mechanical props at all. Since the Feng family bought it, and looking at Feng Lan's slightly unnatural behavior just now, there must be some hidden reason.

There is nothing to hide about this. Feng Lan showed a helpless expression: "This thing was bought by cousin Feng Ling, and she is the one who mainly uses it."

At that time, their family originally wanted to buy a housekeeper's assistant, but this job was snatched away by Feng Ling. Feng Ling is a very rebellious person and has a strong opinion.

She originally planned to buy products according to her family's request, but she was attracted by the kitchen set meal during the visit and asked if her family could buy two products.

The family rejected her request, so Feng Ling was rebellious and decided not to buy a housekeeper assistant. She just bought what she liked. In her words, "a general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home." She was already there, and the money was in her hands. How could she still listen to the family's request? At most, she would be punished. If she had the guts, she could go to the Feng family and return the goods!

It was impossible to return the goods, so I could only punish Feng Ling angrily and not assign her such a solo mission in the future. As for this time, I could only accept the defeat.

I have to say that Feng Lan admires her cousin very much in this regard. She is really carefree and unrestrained.

At this point, he glanced at Su Bei and said, "So it's her who wants to be a princess, not me."

Su Bei nodded with amusement: "Well, you are not."

"By the way, do you know the employee benefits of this 'Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.' and how to get a job there?" Zhao Xiaoyu asked a question that no one had considered before.

Although she had already signed a contract with the college and would stay on campus after graduation without having to look for a job, she couldn't help but ask questions about work because of the ordinary people's subconscious reaction to capitalists.

Si Zhaohua thought for a moment and took out his phone: "I'll ask my family."

He certainly wouldn't pay attention to this, but his family probably knows something about it. Although "Life Science and Technology Machinery Co., Ltd." is a company that focuses on high-tech and small-scale industries, it also needs a lot of employees because of the large demand.

The Si family has so many branches, so if nothing unexpected happens, there must be someone among them. Just ask and you will find out.

Sure enough, his direct butler replied to him after a while. After reading the message, Si Zhaohua raised his head and replied: "The salary is not bad, one hundred thousand a month, and three spiritual crystals. To get the job, you need to have mechanical-related superpowers, graduate from any superpower academy, and pass their training."

"One hundred thousand a month with a spirit crystal included, that's really good." Zhao Xiaoyu sighed, but it was a pity that this career had nothing to do with her from any angle.

In fact, among their class, only Su Bei has a chance to be employed by Life Science Machinery Co., Ltd. After all, his special ability is related to gears, which can be regarded as related to machinery.

Friday came in a flash, and the fifteen students from Class S gathered at the school gate. This was one of the few activities that required all students to participate, and it was also a famous company, so everyone was very excited.

The ones in charge of leading the team are Meng Huai and Lei Ze'en. Lei Ze'en has the ability of [Teleportation], so he usually follows when they go out on short missions, so that it is convenient for him to pick up people when he comes back.

Sitting in the teleportation array, everyone quickly appeared in front of a military factory. The outside of the military factory was tightly wrapped with iron sheets. From their perspective, there was only one entrance, which was guarded by two people in security uniforms.

The two security guards obviously knew that there would be guests coming today. When they saw them, they did not immediately sound the alarm. They looked at each other with a little caution, and one of them walked forward and said, "Who are you..."

"I'm the leader of the tour group of the Infinite Power Academy." Lei Zeen took out an ID, which was his teacher ID. "This time I'm here to take the students to visit the processing plant of Life Science Machinery Co., Ltd."

Yes, teachers in the supernatural academy also need to take a teaching certificate exam. However, this exam is fully managed by the supernatural government, and even if you have a certificate, you may not be able to enter the academy you want to go to. Just like in the ordinary world, having a teaching certificate may not necessarily make you a teacher, but without a teaching certificate, you definitely cannot be a teacher.

The security guard already knew who was coming today, and seeing that Lei Zeen was right, he carefully compared his ID. After confirming that it was correct, he gestured to the security guard in the security booth behind him and stepped aside to let him pass.

The iron door opened, and inside was another iron door. This door looked a lot like the door of a bank vault in a TV show, with a lump of iron in the middle that looked like a ship's rudder, and it seemed like even a missile couldn't penetrate it, and it gave me a sense of security.

"Please wait, the tour guide will be here soon." The security guard who came in with them at the beginning did not forget to comfort everyone politely. However, although he said he was comforting, in fact, there was no expression on his face. He looked like a paralyzed person, with his back straight, and he was a soldier wherever he stood.

Sure enough, I didn't have to wait long. Within two minutes, the door opened with a puff of air, and a man wearing a blue work suit, with his hair neatly combed, looking polite and very capable, walked out.

With a friendly and polite smile on his face, he first exchanged greetings with Meng Huai and Lei Zeen. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had met. Su Bei raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he had always been the tour guide for the students, so the two sides were so familiar with each other.

After greeting the teacher, Director Zhang looked at Jiang Tianming and the others and said, "Hello, students. I am your tour guide for this trip, Zhang He, the workshop manager of Life Science Machinery Co., Ltd. You can call me Director Zhang. Please follow me in. I hope you will like everything you see next and have a pleasant travel experience. If you can learn something more, it will be our honor."

After passing through a long narrow corridor, we finally entered the processing plant. As soon as we entered, everyone showed surprise. There was a large pool of green liquid in the workshop. A worker who was also wearing work clothes, but was wrapped up very tightly, even his head was wrapped in transparent glass like an astronaut, was pouring metal parts into the pool with a cart.

Some of these parts are already processed casings, some are chips, and some are basic parts such as gears, screws, and rivets.

Director Zhang introduced: "This pool contains our boss's special ability [Life Essence]. Non-living things immersed in it can have life. However, the concentration of the Life Essence in this pool is relatively low and can only sustain life for one hour. The next step is to wait for the essence to take effect. It won't take long, so just wait a moment."

While waiting, Su Bei frowned and used his mental power to sense the surroundings. He always felt as if someone was spying on him, but when he sent out his mental power, he got nothing. It seemed that everything was just his illusion.

If Su Bei were an ordinary person, he might really believe that this vague sense of voyeurism was just his illusion. But he was a superpower, and superpowers were known for their strong mental power. He would not be wrong about something like sight that condensed mental power.

And he was not the only one who felt that someone was spying on him. Others also occasionally glanced around, obviously they also felt something.

However, the thing in front of them attracted their attention more. Ling You and others approached the green liquid curiously. Mo Xiaotian was eager to try it and asked with great interest: "Can we touch this?"

"No." Director Zhang quickly stopped them and explained, "You can see that the staff in this link are wrapped up. Living things cannot be touched by the original liquid of life, otherwise their vitality will be sucked away and they will die in an instant."

At this point, he proudly defended his boss: "Our boss is not only good at playing with machines, he can also cause great damage to both humans and nightmare beasts."

Meng Huai and Lei Zeen obviously knew about this. Lei Zeen smiled and replied, "I remember that Senior Sun also participated in their three-school competition."

Although he was in the first year of high school and she was already in the third year, they had no interactions. However, all those who could participate in the three-school competition were influential figures in the academy, so they knew each other.

Su Bei showed a thoughtful expression. This ability sounds a bit problematic... Ever since he knew that this world was a comic book world, he would subconsciously look at many things related to the plot from the perspective of a comic book, which is the so-called "God's perspective."

[Life Essence] This ability itself did not make him think too much, but when he heard what Director Zhang said just now, he had to think more about it. Would such an ability that can absorb the life of others really be a problem in the comic world?

This line of thinking is also the reason why Su Bei often knows more information than others without comics.

What is known now is that the wooden iron man is definitely related to "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.". The life essence can make living things lose their life and give life to inanimate things.

Could these two uses be related to the transformation of the wooden iron man? If so, what kind of person is he? Is he a human or a mechanical life form?

With doubts in mind, Su Bei continued to observe the employees' work.

Just as Director Zhang had said, it didn't take long to clean the parts with the Life Solution. About five minutes later, the worker pressed the button.

Along with the ringing of the bell, the life force fluid in the pool, which had turned from dark green to almost clear water, was completely drained out through the drain below the pool, revealing the various parts inside that became more shiny.

At this point they clearly had life, jumping around lively at the bottom of the pool.

Then the door of the next workshop was opened, and another man in work clothes of a different color walked in pushing a cart.

He just took out the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it, and the parts ran towards the cart as if they had received a call.

Although they don't have arms and legs, they can roll and jump. Yes, jump. Although I don't know how they jump, they can jump anyway. They are cute when they jump, but they are also really weird.

The wooden man looked very curious, rubbing his ears as he slowly walked towards the cart: "Why did these guys come over here on their own initiative?"

Director Zhang introduced it professionally: "The whistle was given to us by the boss. It can be used to command these little lives to gather. All the parts that can hear the whistle nearby will be controlled, so that we don't have to catch them one by one, or they will sneak away."

"How amazing!" Mo Xiaotian also came over and carefully observed the whistle, "Can everyone use it?"

Director Zhang nodded and shook his head: "Although it is true that everyone can use it, this whistle cannot always be used. Each whistle can only be used for one day, and you need to get a new whistle after one day."

This is normal. If it could really be used forever, I'm afraid the boss of "Life Science and Technology Machinery Co., Ltd." would not give them the whistle so easily. If this kind of thing is in the hands of others, it will be a huge threat to any superior.

After all the parts were put into the cart, the worker pushed the cart to his workshop, and Director Zhang led everyone to follow him: "The previous step was to give these parts life. The next step is to let them assemble into products by themselves."

Everyone walked into the next workshop and was shocked by the scene inside. Who could imagine a group of gears, screws, rivets and other mechanical parts moving autonomously and assembling themselves? Anyway, they saw it with their own eyes.

Although these parts have no nose or eyes, Jiang Tianming and others can tell from their jumping up and down that they are alive. Is this "Life Technology Machinery"? It's a very reasonable name.

Director Zhang was not surprised by this scene. He smiled and said, "In order to make the parts of our products more compatible and more flexible to use, we rarely use mechanical installation during assembly. These parts that have been given life will find more suitable partners on their own and then assemble into a complete product."

I have to say that this statement does have something in common with the dilemma they are facing now. In a sense, they are also friends who got together on their own. It should be a good match, but why can't they form a complete team?

As people thought about this, they couldn't help but pay more attention to how the parts were assembled.

I saw the parts being put together one by one. I first applied adhesive on myself, then aligned and assembled them with my companions. Soon, a complete product was completed!

After the complete product is formed, those originally active parts become dormant, as if they have lost their vitality and become ordinary parts.

"Although I know this is the effect of supernatural powers, it is still..." Zhao Xiaoyu had a complicated expression.

Lan Subing next to him added: "My worldview has collapsed."

Zhao Xiaoyu nodded seriously, agreeing with her.

Jiang Tianming, who saw this scene, also sighed: "To be honest, this is exactly the same as the future technological world I imagined when I was a child. If this technology can be popularized, it will be really amazing."
