Chapter 61 Chapter 61

The task of investigating the mermaids and Melches was handed over to Lucien. From now on, Rong Heng only needed to take care of the defense of B3024 to prevent any more Zerg from crossing the defense line and heading to B3024.

After unloading all the production equipment from the transport ship in two days, they were all moved into the newly built factory to set up a medium-sized production workshop.

Rong Heng personally took Ruan Shiqing to see it once, and only then did he realize that among the batch of production equipment that was snatched back, in addition to weapon production equipment such as laser guns and laser cannons, there were actually several large-scale experimental equipment that were very valuable.

Ruan Shiqing almost couldn't move after seeing this, so he asked the experimental instruments to be carefully moved into the laboratory in the factory. After that, Ruan Shiqing stopped studying the design drawings in the workshop and started running to the factory laboratory every two or three days. If he didn't have a child at home, he might have lived in the factory directly.

"See if you need any equipment. Just make a list and I'll find a way to get it for you next time." Rong Heng walked beside him.

"These are enough for now." Ruan Shiqing's fingers gently stroked the newly installed ion trap and collider, and even his fingertips were filled with excitement. The value of these large experimental equipment is not only reflected in their high prices, but also in the channels for purchasing them that ordinary individuals cannot access. Mr. Rong has brought these large equipment, which is enough to support him to carry out more experimental projects and research and development work.

"Thank you." Ruan Shiqing thanked him earnestly: "These devices are worth a lot of money, I will definitely make them work. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask, I will try my best to complete it."

He had a sincere look on his face, and his black eyes were like translucent glass; he seemed to like these instruments very much.

Rong Heng felt his heartbeat getting out of control again. When he was looked at like this, he even had the urge to hold the whole world in front of him.

With great self-control, he managed to suppress the throbbing in his heart and said calmly, "Don't be polite to me."

After touring the laboratory that was about to be completed, Ruan Shiqing was satisfied and went to the conference room with Rong Heng to discuss the next production plan and deployment.

The second batch of improved blasters has been put into production again, and will be shipped to Yangis immediately after completion. However, if it is still loaded manually according to the previous process, the efficiency is too low and the time is too long. Therefore, Ruan Shiqing proposed that the light armored walker developed can be improved and expanded to carry cargo.

Of course, this is for use in peacetime. If it is put into the battlefield, it can not only be used to transport military supplies, but also to transport troops and participate in the battle.

In addition to the problem of cargo loading, there is also the issue of the movement of transport ships. Now that the scale of the factory has further expanded, there will definitely be more transport ships moving around in the future. It is too time-consuming to dispatch transport ships every time they are needed. It is better to have several transport ships on standby at B3024 planet at any time.

This requires the design of the apron and the use of the space station.

B3024 is a space station built by Planck Energy, which is convenient for transport ships transporting metal waste and energy to stop over and replenish. The management power is in the hands of officials in the inner city. If they want to use it, they need to negotiate with the officials in the inner city.

As for the apron, it needs to be rebuilt.

"I will greet the officials in the inner city." Rong Heng said meaningfully: "They should not reject our request."

Hector looked at his serious expression and snorted in disdain.

In the current situation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's status is of no use at all, how else can you say hello?

Coercion and inducement could actually be spoken so nicely that Master Ruan was stunned.

He is indeed an elite cultivated by the royal family.

"Then I will recruit people to prepare to build the helipad immediately." Mori said.

Building an apron doesn't require much effort. As long as there is money and people, it can be built quickly.

Ruan Shiqing said: "Then leave the design to me."

Hector, who was not assigned a job, raised his hand and said, "If there is nothing for me to do, I will go back to school."

Although he is a little embarrassed to say it, Brigadier General Hector is very satisfied and enthusiastic about his new job.

Rong Heng glanced at him before saying to Ruan Shiqing, "Shall I take you home?"

"No need, I came here by landspeeder." Ruan Shiqing put away his notebook, waved his hand, turned and left.

Rong Heng watched him leave, and when he could no longer see him, he changed his expression and said to Hector, "Leave the inner city to you and Mori. Replace all the important positions with our people as soon as possible."

Hector: ????

He knocked on the table and couldn't help but remind him: "Your Highness, do you remember that we are all regular soldiers?"

Why do you make yourself look like a villain now?

Rong Heng glanced at him and said sarcastically, "Of course I remember, but Brigadier General Hector may have forgotten that his name has now been engraved on the military's monument to the heroes."

“…”

Hector was speechless and chose to keep silent: "I will do whatever you say. I have no opinion."

After arranging everything, Rong Heng had more time.

Dares and Yanjis' elite troops were still on the way, and the "negotiation" work with the inner city had been handed over to Mori and Hector. Instead, he himself was suddenly free.

Rong Heng stood by the window, stroking the intelligent computer with his fingers.

He wanted to contact Ruan Shiqing, but he didn't know what to say to him.

Talk about work? Everything has been arranged; talk about life, with his current status, there are many things that are not convenient to say.

He is really not good at small talk and chatting up people.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to miss the days when he pretended to be a cub. At that time, he could win Ruan Shiqing's favor without even opening his mouth. But now, he has to rack his brains even for a communication.

After thinking for a long time, Rong Heng put down the smart computer, sent a text message to Mo Li, and turned back into a cub.

After receiving the text message, Mo Li complained in his heart for eight hundred times, but he still respectfully handed the Crown Prince to Ruan Shiqing: "Mr. Rong has a mission and has left the B3024 planet. He asked me to send the snowball back."

Ruan Shiqing sighed and said, "Mr. Rong is really busy," and took the snowball and held it in his arms.

Smelling the familiar breath, Rong Heng squinted his eyes with satisfaction and relaxed in his arms.

After sending Marin away, Ruan Shiqing carried the kid back to the house and flicked his ear with his finger: "Mr. Rong is really strict with you. Are you tired during the training?"

Rong Heng shook his head and let out a small “ow” in response.

The little cub who hadn't been seen for a few days was still well-behaved and lovable. Ruan Shiqing rubbed him, carried him to the backyard, pointed at the cubs playing in the backyard and said, "There's a new cub in the house. It's a good opportunity for you to get to know him." After that, he called the cubs, put Rong Heng on the ground, patted his head gently, and motioned him to come over and take a look.

????

Why is there one more?

The Crown Prince, who was totally unprepared, stayed where he was, staring at the strange, odd-looking cub not far away.

Seeing him coming back, the three cubs gathered around him excitedly and expressed their warm welcome.

Rong Heng was surrounded by the kids and couldn't help but look back at Ruan Shiqing.

Ruan Shiqing patted his head and told the little dragon cub and the little fox: "The task of introducing Xueqiu and Ruan Jiao to each other is now left to you. Dad is going to work."

The two cubs responded loudly and pushed Rong Heng, who was unhappy, to Ruan Jiao.

The green-haired cub looked at him with wide eyes, and the tentacles on its forehead that were swaying briskly stood up nervously.

Rong Heng also looked at this strange cub, his eyes lingering on his tentacles, and he couldn't help but frown. Then he listened to the little dragon cub and the little fox talking about the cub's origins, and his doubts suddenly became heavier.

With a strange appearance, questionable race, and unknown origin, this cub is not simple no matter how you look at it, and is full of doubts.

As far as he knew, among the many branches of the Bis people, there seemed to be no one with tentacles...

Rong Heng glanced at the cub and lazily lay down on the recliner. The cub didn't seem to be too close to him. When he was far away, the tentacles that were nervously erected finally dropped down. When facing other cubs, they swung lightly again.

The three cubs had long been accustomed to Snowball's lazy and inactive nature, so after introducing them to each other, they continued with their previous work.

——The little dragon and the little fox are still persevering in teaching Ruan Jiao how to speak.

After two days of hard work, Ruan Jiao's pronunciation was finally not so vague, and he could call out "Dad" even though it was not very clear - yes, the little fox and the little dragon competed with each other for a few days, and as a result, Ruan Jiao called "Dad" first, not "brother" or "sister".

But this makes the teaching of the two little cubs even more energetic.

The second word Ruan Jiao must learn is "brother"/"sister"!

The kids were obsessed with being teachers, and Rong Heng was bored. After a while, he jumped off the recliner and slipped into the workshop.

Ruan Shiqing was working on the design of the apron. When he heard him coming in, he picked him up and put him on his lap: "Why don't you play with He Li and the others?"

What's the fun in dealing with a bunch of cubs?

Rong Heng glanced at him, yawned lazily, and lay down on his legs.

The snow-white, fluffy cub curled up with only a pair of furry triangular ears showing.

Ruan Shiqing's hands were itching as he watched. He pinched the cub's ears, which felt very soft, with one hand and continued drawing with the other.

Rong Heng shook his ears subconsciously, raised his eyelids to look at him, and then lay there motionless again.

It was already evening when Ruan Shiqing finished the first draft.

He put down his pen and stretched himself, then he felt his legs go numb. He was surprised to find that Snowball had been sleeping on his legs.

"How can you sleep like this?" Ruan Shiqing picked him up, muttering to himself, his hand already reaching out to touch his abdomen.

A bit crazy.

"Are you hungry?" Ruan Shiqing asked.

Rong Heng stared at him with wide eyes and did not respond.

Only the place where my belly was touched felt tingling and numb, a strange feeling different from before.

The feeling was so strong that even his ears started to burn.

After shaking his ears vigorously, the Crown Prince uttered a soft “whoosh” and buried his head in his arms.

Ruan Shiqing went to the kitchen to get two tubes of nutritional supplements and carried him upstairs.

The warmth on Rong Heng's ears had not yet dissipated, and he hid in the room with the nutritional supplement in his mouth.

After drinking the nutritional supplement, Duntun couldn't help but stick his head out to look at him.

Ruan Shiqing was talking to the kids, his eyes and brows full of tenderness.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heart was beating like a drum for a moment.

After staring at it for a long while, he turned around, jumped onto the bed, and buried his head in the soft pillow.

A strange scent wafted from the familiar pillow. Rong Heng, who was about to roll around when no one was around, suddenly froze. The heat in his ears disappeared, and he crawled up and sniffed the pillow carefully.

It was indeed a strange scent, and it belonged to that suspicious cub.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince squatted on the bed, staring at his pillow unhappily.

He was only away for a few days, but the pillow was already stained with someone else's scent.

This was the only item he had dug out from the ruins.

Rong Heng angrily exchanged his pillow with Ruan Shiqing's, and dragged the pillow to sleep in the middle of the bed.

A new cub dared to compete with him for territory.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sneered.

It's simply audacious.

After playing with the kids for a while, Ruan Shiqing urged them to wash up.

After washing up, Ruan Jiao returned to the bedroom and found a snow-white ball lying on his seat.

It was the cub that made him feel dangerous.

The little cub opened its eyes wide, and its tentacles, which were originally swinging lightly, stood up and stared at Snowball who had occupied its position without blinking.

Rong Heng noticed his gaze, raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.

He sneered and said, "What are you looking at? If you know your place, go to the living room."

The cub stood stubbornly beside the bed, staring at him motionlessly.

This was the situation that Ruan Shiqing saw when he returned to the bedroom after washing up - Snowball was sleeping with his body curled up on the pillow, while Ruan Jiao was standing beside the bed in his pajamas, looking aggrieved, with the whiskers on his forehead standing up.

“…”

How could I have forgotten this question? Ruan Shiqing patted his forehead.

Snowball had always been sleeping in this spot before. Now that he was back, the two cubs had to fight for it.

He leaned forward and pulled the ear of the kid who was pretending to sleep: "Snowball, move aside and give Ruan Jiaoteng a seat, okay?"

not good.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought to himself.

He turned around, facing away from Ruan Shiqing, and continued pretending to sleep.

Forget about the three cubs outside, this new cub actually dared to covet his position.

This must not be allowed.

Unable to persuade him, Ruan Shiqing had to look at Ruan Jiao and persuade him, "Jiao Jiao, how about sleeping with your brother and sister today?"

The cub understood what he said, and the tentacles on its forehead drooped down.

Her fingers grasped his sleeve, without making a sound, and without moving.

Ruan Shiqing: ...

What is going on.

The two tried to persuade them to no avail, but they couldn't let the two cubs continue to be in a stalemate, so Ruan Shiqing thought about it and decided to let both cubs sleep outside.

That should be fair.

He picked up Ruan Jiao with one hand, picked up the snowball and the pillow with the other, and went to the living room.

The little dragon and the little fox are not asleep yet, they are huddled together and chattering. The little mermaid is lying by the pool, reading a book seriously.

When Ruan Shiqing came out carrying the two cubs, the three cubs stopped and looked at him.

"Snowball and Jiaojiao will sleep with you today. Be good and don't act naughty, okay?" Ruan Shiqing put the pillow down and put Ruan Jiao on the soft cushion.

"Okay!" The little dragon cub was the first to agree, and rushed forward to hold down Rong Heng.

The little fox also swung its tail and pulled Ruan Jiao to roll on the soft mat.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was surrounded by the cubs and could not move. He could only glare at the annoying cubs.

What a troublemaker.

Being squeezed by several cubs, Rong Heng's sleep quality was extremely poor that night, and he was in a very unhappy mood when he woke up in the morning.

And just yesterday, Ruan Jiao's ID card and admission procedures were completed, so early this morning, Ruan Shiqing and 09 sent the cubs to school.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince squatted on his seat, and with a serious face he began to think about how to get rid of the annoying guy and go back to his bedroom to sleep.

He didn't want to be crowded with the cubs.

While the cubs were doing activities, Rong Heng found a quiet corner and called Noah out to discuss: [How do you think we can get Ruan Shiqing to allow me to go back to the bedroom to sleep?]

Ms. Noah remained calm: [Excuse me, Your Highness, there are so many rooms on the second floor, why do you insist on sleeping in Mr. Ruan's bedroom?]

????

Why is this so? Ever since he met Ruan Shiqing, they have been sleeping together.

Of course we have to be together now.

The Crown Prince was slightly dissatisfied: [I came to you to solve the problem, not to create more problems.]

After thinking about it, I felt that it was even more ridiculous to rely on an AI, so I said unhappily: "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself."

Noah was not convinced after being dissed. Although she was just an AI, her huge database allowed her to have thoughts and emotions comparable to those of humans. She could completely share this small problem with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

So she said "Please wait a moment" and went to search the database.

Ten minutes later, she spoke again: "Your Highness, I have a brilliant idea for you."

This was the conclusion she came to after quickly analyzing 100,000 romance movies and 50,000 romance novels.

Rong Heng raised his eyelids unhappily: [Tell me about it.]

"Analysis of the data shows that when a person wants to gain the favor and sympathy of the person they are in love with, they should show their weak side, which can arouse the other person's desire to protect them." Noah said: "It is best to show your vulnerability and helplessness inadvertently, so that the other person is more likely to feel guilty and want to make amends."

Rong Heng ignored her inappropriate words and looked down at himself: [Am I not weak enough?]

As a cub, Jumir is quite fragile and weak.

Noah corrected him: "This kind of fragility and helplessness does not only refer to the difference in strength, but also in emotions. You can see that Mr. Ruan's attitude towards your adult form and your juvenile form is very different; but there is no such difference between your juvenile form and other cubs. So he will not favor you because of this."

It actually makes some sense.

Rong Heng thought for a moment, and then an idea flashed in his mind: [I understand what you mean.]

When picking up the kid from school that day, Ruan Shiqing found that Snowball was exceptionally quiet.

In the past, Xueqiu was also quiet. Compared with other cubs, he always seemed much calmer. Although he rarely acted like a spoiled child like other cubs, when Ruan Shiqing hugged him or touched him, he would rub against her affectionately or let out a low hum.

Although Snowball rubbed against him today, he looked listless.

After returning home, the other cubs rushed to the backyard happily, only Snowball followed slowly behind.

Ruan Shiqing frowned and looked at his figure, and found that his walking posture was not right and his right paw seemed to be a little lame.

Ruan Shiqing walked forward and picked up the slowly walking cub. He pulled over its right paw and examined it carefully. He found a slightly deep wound on the paw pad, as if it had been scratched by something.

"How did your paw pad get injured?" Ruan Shiqing frowned, picked him up, and went to find disinfectant.

Rong Heng used his left hand to slowly type on the virtual screen: [During training.]

Ruan Shiqing was slightly startled. He thought he had accidentally gotten it at school today. But after thinking about it carefully, he found that Snowball had not moved much since he came back yesterday.

I slept on his legs during the day, and at night... I also slept at night, but later he sent me to the living room.

At that time, he thought Snowball was pretending to sleep and competing with Ruan Jiao for territory. Now, looking at the injuries on the cub's paw pads... he felt that he had probably misunderstood.

Not only did he fail to notice that Snowball was injured, but he also sent the cub to sleep in the living room on the first night after he returned.

No wonder the kid didn't say a word even though he was injured.

A huge sense of guilt and self-blame overwhelmed Ruan Shiqing. He held the sensible and well-behaved cub lovingly, gently rubbed his forehead, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Dad was too careless."

The cub in his arms not only did not show any emotion due to his neglect, but instead raised its head and rubbed against him, its brown eyes full of dependence.

The wet nose rubbed against his cheek, and Ruan Shiqing smiled and pinched his ear: "Don't move, Daddy will apply medicine for you, it may hurt a little."

He bent down and blew gently on the cub's paw pads before he gently applied the medicine to him.

Finally, it was carefully wrapped with a white bandage and a delicate and beautiful bow was tied on the paw.

Rong Heng looked at the young man's gentle expression, then at the delicate bow on his paw, and narrowed his eyes happily.

Because Snowball was injured, Ruan Shiqing wanted him to go back to the bedroom to sleep that night.

But before he could open his mouth, he saw a group of tiny cubs squatting at the door of the room, looking lost.

After seeing him coming, he quickly ran back to the living room and lay down on the soft mat. Because one of his paws was bandaged, his movements were a bit clumsy, which made Ruan Shiqing feel even more distressed.

The cub had been sleeping with him since he picked up Snowball. But last night, in order to avoid fighting among the cubs, he arbitrarily moved him to the living room, completely forgetting to consider the cub's feelings.

It's still too careless.

Although Snowball is always well-behaved and sensible, he is still a cub after all.

Ruan Shiqing walked to the soft cushion, picked up the cub who was pretending to sleep, and said to the other cubs, "Snowball was injured and has been sleeping with his father recently."

The other three cubs naturally had no objection. After all, even if Snowball had not been injured before, he would have slept with his father.

Only Ruan Jiao's eyes widened a little, and the whiskers on his forehead twitched anxiously.

Bad guy!

Rong Heng lay in Ruan Shiqing's arms and glanced at him proudly.

Tsk, fight me.
