Luo He followed the location sent by Lin Xiaolin and walked to the driveway near the flower bed to wait for her.
She said she could arrive in about ten minutes, and then took Luo He to the Machinery Bureau to take a look at the newly developed mechanical beast code-named 'Overlord'.
Not long after, Luo He heard the rumble of a locomotive engine coming from the end of the driveway.
The short-haired lady was wearing a jacket and sunglasses. She was riding a cruise motorcycle with a passenger seat. She pressed the brakes after approaching.
Lin Xiaolin pushed up his sunglasses, looked at Luo He, and commented:
"Very good, no arms or legs missing!"
"If it were missing arms and legs, I wouldn't be able to see the newly developed mechanical beast today." Luo He said.
Lin Xiaolin smiled and said: "I know you are very interested in my works. As soon as you escaped from the spiritual world, you rushed to the imperial capital without stopping!"
"It's a long story." Luo He sighed softly: "The reason why I came to the imperial capital is actually a very important thing."
"What happened?"
"Hand something in person to the person in charge of the Scientific Research Bureau." Luo He said: "Sister Xiaolin, can we go to the Scientific Research Bureau first, and then transfer to the Machinery Bureau?"
"Of course." Lin Xiaolin said curiously: "What exactly is it, so mysterious?"
Luo He complained: "You are cheating, don't blame me for cheating too."
Lin Xiaolin snorted and patted the passenger seat of the cruise motorcycle: "Get in!"
Luo He curled up his legs and sat in the passenger seat, turned to look at Lin Xiaolin, and said strangely:
"Sister Xiaolin, why did you dye your hair?"
The short-haired beauty, who originally had all black hair, dropped a bunch of silver-white hair, adding a touch of heroism.
"You're talking about bangs." Lin Xiaolin blew upwards and said helplessly: "I was busy developing mechanical beasts, and I was so busy that my hair turned white... so I dyed it myself."
"Can you tell me a little bit about the specific type of mechanical pet beast that is being developed?" Luo He inquired.
"Well...the initial form is a vehicle, but it has the function of switching forms, depending on the specific situation."
Lin Xiaolin started the engine, and the cruiser made a dull sound: "Talking while walking."
In the field of flight, Luo He already has a golden-scaled dragon.
As for land transportation, I really lack a suitable means of transportation.
Of course, the ability to 'switch forms' means that this mechanical beast's role is not limited to transportation.
As a cook, Luo He has not forgotten his original intention and thought to himself:
"It would be even better if the mechanical beast could turn into household appliances such as microwave ovens, ovens, and coffee machines!"
On the way to the Scientific Research Bureau, the two chatted.
Lin Xiaolin was surprised when he learned that Luo He had met the three-headed hell dog and said:
"There is also a patron saint-level pet beast in the spirit world? Have you made friends with it?"
Luo He pondered for a moment.
Are you and the three-headed hellhound considered friends?
Uh... Why doesn't it count? A fair-weather friend is also a friend!
"I also met Director Li." Luo He said: "The things to be handed over to the Scientific Research Bureau were also entrusted to me by Director Li."
"Which Director Li?" Lin Xiaolin asked casually.
"Wan Qing's father." Luo He said subconsciously.
Lin Xiaolin:???
Her face was full of shock and astonishment.
"Wait, Li, Director Li." Lin Xiaolin stuttered, "Also, what did you call Master Li just now?"
"It seems that the Scientific Research Bureau is just ahead."
"Don't change the subject!"
The spirit of gossip was burning, but the person involved was unwilling to talk more, so Lin Xiaolin had to make up his own mind.
The two people, who are still in love, experienced such a storm and strengthened their hearts to stay close to each other.
This is... so delicious!
Luo He and Lin Xiaolin walked into the Scientific Research Bureau with their aunt smiling all the way.
"Who is the current person in charge of the Scientific Research Bureau?" Luo He asked.
"Ahem..." Lin Xiaolin calmed down and cleared his throat: "It's Dr. An. He is a cross-field doctor of zoology research."
Luo He nodded and said, "Director Hu should have already said hello to Dr. An. We can just wait to see him."
Not long after, someone came to receive Luo He and Lin Xiaolin and took them to the conference center.
In the conference room, Luo He had been sitting for a while when he heard a knock on the door and stood up to greet him.
A female assistant came in pushing a wheelchair. The white-haired old man in the wheelchair had a kind face, but also had the seriousness of an academic leader.
"Dr. An." The female assistant said, "This is the Luo He that Director Hu mentioned to you."
Luo He stepped forward, shook hands with the old man in the wheelchair, and heard him say kindly: "Nice to meet you."
"Dr. An, I'm sorry for interrupting you today, but I have something that I must hand over to you in person."
Luo He took out a disc-shaped transparent disc from the unicorn jade pendant and said:
"I believe Director Hu has already told you about my meeting with Director Li. This is the [psionic core] he entrusted me to bring back to the alliance."
In the transparent disk, an unquenchable green flame burns.
Looking at the green fire, which was like a new type of energy, Dr. An and Lin Xiaolin both widened their eyes.
bass--
Dr. An stood up directly from the wheelchair!
He took over the psychic core from Luo He, with strong shock in his eyes, and kept repeating:
"Incredible...this is incredible!"
Luo He was stunned, looked at the wheelchair, and then looked at Dr. An, who was standing still.
The female assistant whispered: "Dr. An just has inconvenience in his legs and feet, not lame."
Luo He suddenly realized, and immediately said: "Director Li's original words are that the psychic core mainly promotes mechanical life forms. This is also the last contribution he made to the Donghuang Alliance."
Dr. An paused, a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, and murmured:
"Li Yangqing...he is a genius and a pioneer who devotes himself to scientific research..."
He looked at Luo He, with gratitude in his eyes:
"Luo He, thank you very much... We will study this core carefully."
Lin Xiaolin thought for a while and suggested:
"Didn't Director Li say that this psychic core is effective on mechanical beasts? Our Machinery Bureau can cooperate with the Research Bureau and strive to put it into practical applications as soon as possible."
"Yes." Dr. An nodded: "But the premise is to ensure the stability and safety of the new energy of 'spiritual energy'."
Luo He can understand that it will take some time before the psychic core is put into actual use.
This is Director Li's invention, and he has been designated to be sent to the Scientific Research Bureau, and he has no right to keep it... However, with his own contribution, he can apply for the right to use the psychic core in the future.
The key is that you must first contract a mechanical beast before you can submit the application openly.
Luo He was vaguely looking forward to it, and said secretly:
"Next, it's time to go to the Machinery Bureau to see the fifth pet that was reserved!"
The affairs of the Scientific Research Bureau have come to an end.
Luo He stood up to say goodbye, and Dr. An personally sent him to the entrance of the Scientific Research Bureau.
On the way to the Machinery Bureau, Lin Xiaolin looked ahead and said with emotion:
"If that new energy device is applied to the newly developed mechanical beast, its performance will definitely be greatly enhanced."
"Are you talking about the mechanical beast codenamed 'Overlord'?"
"Yes, Overlord's performance is very powerful, but its energy consumption is too high."
Lin Xiaolin smacked his lips and said: "With the psychic core just now, it will be different. It means that there can be two energy supply devices!"
Luo He nodded slowly.
Understood.
Installing a psychic core is equivalent to having backup hidden energy!
"I have to talk to Dr. An and let Overlord carry the psychic core and provide scientific research data."
Lin Xiaolin murmured to himself, then glanced at Luo He: "You also remember to write an application report. This is for the consideration of your family's future electricity bills... Do you understand?"
These words hit Luo He's heart, and he immediately nodded and said: "Understood!"
Having said that.
How much energy does this mechanical pet code-named "Overlord" consume, so that I, an expert with a net worth of millions, can't even afford the electricity bill?
Not long after.
The two drove into the area of the Machinery Bureau.
Lin Xiaolin drove Luo He and parked the motorcycle in a factory shed. He immediately stood up and pressed the button on the wall next to him.
Rumble——
The sound of mechanical gears turning was heard.
Luo He felt the foundation gradually sinking. When he lowered his head, he saw that the floor looked like an elevator platform, carrying the two of them underground.
"The base of the Machinery Bureau is built two hundred meters underground." Lin Xiaolin crossed his arms, stood on the descending platform, and said seriously: "You must follow me closely, otherwise you will be shot into pieces by the security beast's machine gun."
Luo He's face tightened: "Is it so serious?"
"Of course I'm joking." Lin Xiaolin said with a smile: "You turned in the black dragon horn before and made a great contribution. You can also be regarded as half a member of the Machinery Bureau!"
Bang!
suddenly.
All the lights went out and even the elevator stopped.
"What's going on?" Luo He said blankly.
Lin Xiaolin raised his forehead and said, "This happens often these days. It must be caused by the 'Overlord' again. It will be fine after a while."
Luo He was in a subtle mood.
I seem to have underestimated the energy consumption of this new pet beast...it will even cause a power outage to the entire Mechanical Bureau!
From another perspective, this is enough to prove the strength of this new pet beast.
After all, the greater the energy consumption, the greater the output!
soon.
The lights that went out came on again, and the elevator ran as usual.
After the elevator stopped, an extremely wide underground base came into view.
Members in work clothes can be seen everywhere, mechanical beasts carrying goods, and engineers discussing with each other in front of huge computer screens.
Luo He glanced at the blueprint on the screen and couldn't understand it at all, then looked up at the ceiling.
It is visually estimated to be tens of meters high, which can fully accommodate a Gundam...
Wait a moment.
Luo He looked strange.
What gives me the illusion that there is no Gundam in the Mechanical Bureau?
drop--
After the probe performed face recognition on Lin Xiaolin, the heavy metal door opened.
A group of engineers gathered together.
One of the leading researchers saw Lin Xiaolin and greeted:
"Master Lin, as per your request, the 'Overlord' has been moved here!"
Lin Xiaolin walked quickly towards the crowd, followed closely by Luo He.
"I brought the test driver here."
Lin Xiaolin looked around and introduced:
"This is Luo He. You should all know him. As expected, he will be the one to contract the 'Overlord'."
In the midst of the long-awaited greetings, Luo He said curiously:
"I heard you talking about 'Overlord', but I haven't seen any mechanical pets here either?"
The crowd retreated, only to see a black and gold car key placed on a platform, glowing with exquisite luster under the light.
Lin Xiaolin's eyes flickered and he said:
"This car key is the 'Overlord'."
Luo He was stunned:
"Car keys?"
"The full name of this car key is [Overlord Iron Cavalry], and it is also the latest mechanical beast developed by the Machinery Bureau."
Lin Xiaolin said: "You can simply understand that the key is the body of this pet beast. And other forms are evolved from the body."
"I'll wake it up first." Lin Xiaolin smiled slightly: "You can first see if the two of you are compatible."
After saying that, she picked up the black and gold car key, pressed the button in the middle of the car key, and threw it into the open space.
The key drew an arc and made a sonorous metallic sound as it fell.
Disintegration, reorganization, implementation——
Luo He was stunned as he looked at the transformation scene that looked like special effects in a science fiction blockbuster.
Boom!
There was a rumble of something heavy falling to the ground.
A heavy-duty motorcycle with black and gold colors stopped in front of Luo He.
This motorcycle has only one searchlight. The streamlined body is like night, with three golden stripes on both sides of the body. The large tires and exhaust port have a muscular look, as if they are alive, and the engine makes a dull roar.
"Overlord——"
Luo He said in surprise: "Is it really a motorcycle?"
Lin Xiaolin shrugged and said: "It can also be turned into an F1 formula and an off-road vehicle. Anyway, the name of the iron horse is correct."
"In addition, Overlord is equipped with an upgrade system and an AI system. It can accumulate experience points through battles and can also assist you in driving through AI."
"Compared to ordinary pet beasts, the current racial level and growth level of the Overlord are both king-level, and can be continuously improved through subsequent modifications and battles."
Lin Xiaolin smiled and said: "How's it going? Are you quite satisfied?"
Luo He looks up to the sky.
Motorcyclists add backup hidden energy...
Now it’s really the adventures of Lolo!
"What is the AI system specifically?" Luo He said: "Is it artificial intelligence or..."
"You'll know when you sit on it," Lin Xiaolin said.
Luo He walked towards the black gold motorcycle, turned over and rode it, paying attention to the dashboard of the motorcycle.
The so-called instrument panel is actually an LCD screen.
Under Luo He's gaze, a symbolic smiley face lighted up on the screen.
The next second, the image of a white-haired girl appeared on the screen.
Luo He was startled when he saw the white-haired girl on the screen saying expressionlessly:
“Test driver ‘Luo He’, I am No. 0, [Overlord Iron Cavalry] ai engine, I will be your navigator throughout your test drive – please give me your advice.”
Luo He turned to look at Lin Xiaolin and stammered: "This, this, this..."
"Call her Zero or Zero."
Lin Xiaolin folded his arms and said: "You can treat her as your novice guide. When cooperating with the Overlord Cavalry, you can consult her if you have any questions."
"I actually want to ask, who designed this AI image?" Luo He said.
In the crowd, a girl in a white coat with braids and glasses raised her hand with embarrassment and shyness, and whispered:
"I, I designed it... Excuse me, is there any problem?"
