So Shi Nian followed Wayne halfway to his laboratory. After entering this laboratory, which was known as the cradle of interstellar weapons, Shi Nian fell into a long silence.
"Susu, your lab... is so special."
The most pleasant way to describe this laboratory is to say that it has a war-torn atmosphere. Everywhere Shi Nian looked, there were potholes and holes. The originally bright white walls had become dilapidated, as if they had been bombarded by heavy weapons.
One could even see a bit of the high-altitude scenery outside from the corner of the wall. Shi Nian wrapped herself tightly in her coat. No wonder this laboratory was so cold.
Wayne scratched his head sheepishly. "The maintenance department blacklisted me, that's why the repair has been delayed... Little Niannian, let me find you a chair to sit down."
Wayne looked around, but the only chair he had left was completely destroyed in the last ion cannon experiment. He had no choice but to clear out a lab table and carry Shi Nian to sit on it.
Next to Shi Nian was a high-energy particle gun, with the pitch-black muzzle pointed right at him. Shi Nian was silent for a few seconds, then stretched out her little hand and pushed it a little further away.
Wayne took the pink gift box and returned it to Shi Nian. "Who gave you this gift? Your father?"
Yu Luhan is a military marshal, so it is very normal for him to give a gun to a child.
"No? It's father, Yun Ning Susu gave it to me."
Shi Nian opened the box and took out a miniature gun. The gun body was blue and pink, and carved with a few cute kittens. It looked like a very ordinary children's toy.
Wayne took the gun, pointed it at the wall and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The already scarred wall now had another dent.
Wayne stroked the depth of the dent with his fingers and shook his head. "No, it's too weak."
He picked up the tools and started tinkering with them, making a series of clanging sounds. Shi Nian stared intently at the process of modifying the cat gun, his big black and white eyes full of interest.
Ten minutes later, Wayne covered Shi Nian with a protective suit and took the modified gun to conduct experiments on the wall again.
The next second after he pulled the trigger, a powerful shock wave instantly broke through the wall, and the wall was finally shattered to the ground.
The flying gravel and raised dust made the laboratory even more precarious. Shi Nian felt the laboratory table beneath him shaking.
Suddenly, the door of the laboratory was kicked hard, and an angry voice was heard, "Wayne, you motherfucker! What are you firing at with a cannon again?! Why didn't they blow up your room and crush you to death?!"
Shi Nian could hear the resentment from Susu outside, and quickly explained, "Sorry, Susu, Wayne Susu is helping me modify the gift."
The man paused, and then there was a violent banging on the door. "Damn it! You still left Xiao Nian Nian here with you? Hurry up and open the door, Wayne, if you're not dead yet, open the door for me!"
Wayne was choked by the dust and kept coughing. He ignored his colleagues outside, "Cough cough cough... I feel better now cough cough cough, Xiao Niannian, quickly take the gun cough cough cough..."
For a moment, Shi Nian was not very brave to touch the gun.
Wayne shook his head, and another cloud of flying ash filled the air. He threw the gun directly into Shi Nian's arms and smiled proudly.
"It's okay, Xiao Niannian. I modified this gun so that it can only be used with mental power. It won't fire accidentally, and the recoil has been greatly reduced. You can definitely use it to snipe at a starship. Ordinary military weapons aren't this powerful. You should always carry it with you."
"It also has a hidden function, you'll know when the time comes."
Shi Nian held the gun and asked curiously, "...Susu, can I bring a gun to kindergarten?"
Wayne remembered that he had secretly carried a gun in kindergarten and said uncertainly, "Should... it be okay?"
Just like that, Shi Nian opened the door with the cat gun that Wayne had modified. The researcher standing outside the door had been checking Shi Nian's body when he saw him come out. "Did that madman Wayne hurt you?"
Shi Nian shook her head and said, "No, Hillman Susu."
Hillman was an S-level researcher in geology and also Wayne's unlucky neighbor. He checked Shi Nian's body from head to toe and was relieved to be sure that he was not injured.
Hillman rubbed his little head and said, "Don't come to Wayne's place. There are too many dangerous things in his laboratory."
Shi Nian said sincerely, "Weinian Susu is very fun."
Everything in Wayne's laboratory looks so interesting.
Hillman was stunned and nodded his forehead in surprise. "I never knew you were such an adrenaline-seeking little Omega."
Shi Nian tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what it meant to pursue excitement.
As always, there was only Mr. Zhong in his laboratory. It was silent and deserted.
"Grandpa, I'm here~"
The childish voice of a little kid broke the oppressive atmosphere. Seeing him, Mr. Zhong smiled so much that his wrinkles were squeezed together. He took his hand and led him inside.
He was grinning from ear to ear, "Come here, sweetheart. Grandpa has prepared some new and delicious food for you. They're all within their expiration date this time. Come here, come here, let Grandpa take them for you."
Mr. Zhong took out various small cakes, including Shi Nian's favorite - chocolate cake.
Shi Nian's eyes were glued to the cake. "Grandpa, can I have one with you?"
Every time Nian eats cake, he eats with Yu Chen. This time Yu Chen is not there, so he has to ask Mr. Zhong if he is willing to eat with him.
Shi Nian also knew that he was not in good health and could not eat too much.
Old Zhong smiled and touched the earring on Shi Nian's earlobe with his old hand. "Dear, can you take this off and let me use it for a while?"
Shi Nian stroked the earring, nodded, and quickly took it off and placed it in Zhong Lao's hand. Zhong Lao took the earring and walked to the experimental table, operating the robotic arm to start modifying the earring.
Shi Nian had been wearing earrings since he was very young. This time, after taking them off, he kept pinching his earlobes out of habit. The discomfort only disappeared after Mr. Zhong put the earrings back on him.
Mr. Zhong took the small cake and placed it in front of Shi Nian. "Okay, now you can eat as much as you want."
Shi Nian was flattered. "I, I eat the whole cake by myself?"
Elder Zhong rubbed his head lovingly. "Yes, you can eat as much as you want, as long as you can eat it."
Shi Nian sat on a stool and ate the cake happily. Before he started eating, he thought he could finish the whole piece, but after just two or three bites, he found that his stomach was full.
Shi Nian looked at the remaining half of the chocolate cake, poked her stomach, and thought dejectedly, how could it be so useless?
Old Zhong slowly chewed the cake with his few remaining teeth, looked at the little boy and said, "Dear, grandpa will ask you again, do you like being a bionic man?"
Shi Nian immediately agreed, "Do you like it?"
Elder Zhong then smiled and said, "Okay, then you? Follow me and make a bionic man. I'll teach you."
This time, Shi Nian finally didn't spend a whole day tightening the screws. Elder Zhong placed the unfinished bionic man on the experimental table, took out a red crystal and placed it in Shi Nian's hand. "Good boy, put this energy core into its chest cavity."
Shi Nian held the crystal in both hands, stood on a stool, and slowly placed the crystal into the energy chamber. The next second, the bionic man's red eyes flashed, and he twisted his neck to look at Shi Nian, "Hello, my master."
Shi Nian covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes wide open, "Grandpa, he's talking to me!"
Mr. Zhong touched his little head and said, "Baby, do you like it?"
Shi Nian: “I like it!”
The process of witnessing the cold machine "coming alive" was so magical that Shi Nian realized that being a bionic man was much more interesting than he had imagined.
Mr. Zhong started teaching Shi Nian from the most basic things. When Shi Nian had learned almost everything, he let him make the simplest robot by himself, while Mr. Zhong patiently guided him.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was afternoon unexpectedly. Shi Yiyu came to the door of the bell-ringer after get off work. Only then did Shi Nian realize that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Shi Nian looked at the half-assembled "little pigeon" with lingering feelings, and for the first time she felt like not wanting to go home.
Mr. Zhong put his little pigeon and other scattered parts into a box. "Grandpa will keep it for you. Next time you come, maybe you can release this little pigeon."
Shi Nian nodded, ran to hold Shi Yiyu's hand, and waved to Zhong Lao, "Goodbye, Grandpa~"
Shi Yiyu raised his eyes and met Zhong Lao's cloudy eyes. The hand hanging at his side curled up and said, "Goodbye..."
Old Zhong stood hunched over in the dim light, his voice hoarse from the ravages of time. "...Yi Yu, Grandpa is here. The child will be fine."
Shi Nian felt the hand around her tighten, and her father's trembling voice reached her ear. "Thank you."
The next morning, Shi Nian carried his small schoolbag and went to the new kindergarten accompanied by his father, father and brother. Since most of the teachers in the affiliated kindergarten were also high-ranking officials from various fields, Ke Lais could not disguise his identity to accompany Shi Nian to school.
But when Kelais heard the news, he was very angry. He pointed at Daniel, who was sitting on Shi Nian's shoulder, and said, "Why can he accompany Nian Nian, but I can't? I'm going to make a fuss!"
Shi Yiyu was packing snacks and other small items into Shi Nian's small schoolbag. She glanced at Kelais and said, "Daniel is a kitten. Are you?"
"I could be the one!"
Keles stared at Daniel unyieldingly, and his body shrank little by little until he turned into a white kitten of the same size as Daniel.
The white kitten slid down Shi Nian's trouser leg and deliberately chose Daniel's shoulder to rub Shi Nian's face. It said pitifully, "Little Niannian, do you really not want me to accompany you to school? But Rice can't leave you alone."
Daniel watched coldly. Even though Coles bumped into him when he came over, he didn't want to argue with this mentally retarded bionic man.
Shi Nian definitely couldn't bear to leave Kolais behind. He held Shi Yiyu's hand, buried his face in his palm, rubbed it like a kitten, and said coquettishly, "Dad, let me take Kolais with me."
Shi Yiyu looked at him for a few seconds and gave in. "You can take him with you, but you can't let Coles return to his old self at school."
Shi Nian and the little white cat on his shoulder nodded in sync.
After Shi Yiyu and Yu Luhan arrived at the kindergarten, they went straight to the principal and explained Shi Nian's physical condition to him.
The head teacher was a middle-aged Beta with a gentle appearance. After recognizing Shi Yiyu and Yu Luhan, he was only excited for two seconds before suppressing his emotions. "Please rest assured, parents. I will ensure the safety of every child."
Yu Chen was standing aside, holding Shi Nian in his arms. Suddenly, he felt something bumping against him from Shi Nian's pocket. He looked down and was startled by the miniature toy gun. "Little Rose, who gave you this toy? I've never seen it before."
Shi Nian: "It's Yun Ning Susu."
Yu Chen nodded, took out the blue and pink gun and looked at it, and sighed that today's children's toys are so realistic that he almost thought they were real.
After contacting the head teacher, Shi Nian said goodbye to his family. Looking at the backs of his fathers and brothers as they left, Shi Nian touched the heads of Coles and Daniel, and followed the teacher to his class.
Shinian was in the kindergarten class at the age of 6. Since she had transferred in mid-term, the teacher kindly introduced her, "This child is called Shinian. Shi means time, and Nian means missing. You two should get along well with each other in the future."
The little ones in the class were all extroverts. They started paying attention to Shi Nian the moment he entered the classroom, and they all started clapping in unison after the teacher finished speaking.
Shi Nian shrank back shyly and said in a baby voice, "Thank you..."
"Shi Nian, come sit with me! The seat next to me is empty."
A little Alpha stood up first and made an invitation.
Shi Nian looked around the classroom hesitantly. There were only two empty seats in the entire classroom, one of which was next to this little Alpha.
So he nodded, carrying his backpack and preparing to sit next to that person, when the red-haired Alpha pulled his backpack strap and said, "Sit next to me."
Shi Nian was stunned, "Where am I going..."
"I'm Enoch from the Kanster family. We're in the same group. Sit right here."
Enoch was firm in his attitude and directly pulled Shi Nian to sit on the chair next to him.
When he came, Yu Luhan said that there would be a little brother from the Kanster family to accompany him. Shi Nian didn't expect to meet him so soon, so he had to follow the original Alpha and say sorry.
The little Alpha smiled at Shi Nian and said, "It's okay. Enoch has a bad temper anyway. Shi Nian, you can come to my place anytime. I welcome you."
Enoch fixed his cold gaze on him, and the Alpha looked at him without fear, and the atmosphere became solemn for a moment.
