On the morning of the third day after returning, the expansion work of the Red Building was carried out. Bei Gaoyang directed his apprentices to lay the stone slabs engraved with magic patterns along the drawn baseline.
On the surface, there was no trace of the impact of the attack. The apprentices didn't even know about it, and no one talked about it.
This expansion was a rare internship opportunity. The apprentices completed it meticulously according to the instructor's requirements. The construction site was quiet. In less than two hours, the expanded magic pattern slates were connected in parallel on the outer circle.
A snap of the fingers activated the configuration of the outer circle. With a buzz, an obvious phenomenon of air distortion and isolation occurred. The apprentices watched intently, feeling both excited and unwilling.
Last night's coursework inspection determined their future destinations. Only Ding Jian, Xue Peng, and Wang Xiaofei stayed to continue their 'further studies'. The others will be transferred to Base Zero and join the special establishment. From then on, they will become members of special positions within the physique.
of rare talents.
The selection of freshmen has been handed over, but it's not Yu Qingdong who is following him. He is too busy. There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, such as the fifth test, internationalization, in-depth investigation of the attack, etc. If it weren't for 'Lafayette', it is too important.
, this time must be a big meeting, and there will be constant small meetings, how can we live in peace now.
Despite this, he was still late today, a full two hours late. When he arrived, the expansion of the outer circle had been completed, and the apprentices were driving into the first layer of stone slabs in the inner circle.
Yu Qingdong found Bei Gaoyang and explained the reason for his lateness. Bei Gaoyang nodded and said, "Energy potions are not unlimited. Proper rest is still necessary. I will leave tomorrow and work hard for you for another day."
"It's so urgent. Why don't you stay a few more days? Xiaoyu also wants to be your guide and take the opportunity to rest for a while."
"You want to take advantage of this opportunity to be lazy? Don't even think about it!"
Yu Qingdong said with a smile, you have seen all this, with a look of kneeling down, "In this test, the online population will exceed one million, which is of great significance. I guess your work over there must be very cumbersome?"
Bei Gaoyang glanced at him with a smile: "What else do you want to ask about?"
"How dare I!"
Bei Gaoyang made a gesture and flashed to the roof of the red building with Xiao Yu.
Yu Qingdong was startled. He was a little unsteady and almost fell from the roof of the building.
"Look!" Bei Gaoyang supported him and pointed to the construction site below him, "What do you think?"
What's so good about an ordinary hilltop?
"The beginning of a miracle, a dream.asxs.?", he replied in a deliberately joking tone.
"You really think so? Are you not worried at all?"
Yu Qingdong straightened his expression after hearing this, "It would be false to say that I'm not worried at all, but I think that with your prudence and sincere feelings for this land, Chairman, you will put the consequences first!"
Bei Gaoyang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Give me a high hat again. I can't bear all the pressure alone. You go back and tell them that I don't know what impact the demonic environment will have on the natural environment and ecology. During the insurance period, it will still be
Move the factory, clear a no-man's land around it, isolate the surrounding area and observe it for a while."
"Ah?" Yu Qingdong looked around quickly, "Is it that serious? The amount of work is huge."
“It’s better than trying to fix it if something goes wrong later.”
"Can we wait until the fifth test and internationalization are on track? The factory cannot stop working now."
"Don't you still have a lot of inventory?"
"That's not even millions. The door frame for 'skilled workers' is too high, and it's impossible to recruit them in a big way. It can only be done secretly, limited by manpower. The current maximum monthly output has just exceeded 50,000 units. These days
After months of overtime production, the inventory is not enough. I just checked and the gap is around 450,000 units."
"450,000, with a monthly output of 50,000 units, wouldn't it take 9 months? How can this be done?" Bei Gaoyang thought that the inventory was OK, but he was a little dissatisfied.
Yu Qingdong quickly explained, "Don't worry, relevant work has been going on for a long time. In addition to this factory, more than a dozen factories with a scale of no less than this are being built across the country. The ones with the fastest progress will be put into production in the near future. We are optimistic
It is expected that this problem will be solved within a month."
"That's good...a month is still too long, a week at most."
After saying that, he saw the embarrassment on Yu Qingdong's face and said, "There is only one week. The house may not be built, the land may be uneven, and the access equipment must be solved within a week."
"Okay, I'll report it to my superiors right away."
"The qualification draw should also be speeded up, and internationalization should not be so complicated. Don't care too much about the apparent gains and losses. It is the greatest benefit to let Canaan's influence take root around the world as soon as possible. We might as well do it in the early stage
Make some concessions and make the work less rigid."
Bei Gaoyang couldn't say too much, as it would easily be over-interpreted, but he was indeed very anxious. Bayero had already made an 'advance payment', agreed to a lot of conditions, and even brought back a fallen angel of light.
If you dare to play the game of bouncing, you may not know what will happen. Although it is not a big problem across the material world, there are enough troubles now, and there is really no need to anger an abyss lord who can still cooperate.
Then there is the defeat of the Centaur Tribe Alliance. The Magic Network will be attacked by defeated troops and the church army in a blink of an eye. What can the player do? Who can help him resist the massive offensive?
Thinking about it this way, I felt that the person in front of me was a bit of an eyesore, "If there's nothing else, just go and do your work. I'll call you when I need you."
"Okay, Chairman... uh... there's one more thing."
"What?"
"Clues to the attack..."
"Are you still obsessed with this matter? I told you not to worry about it?"
"That won't work!" Yu Qingdong said "no" for the first time in front of Lafayette. As soon as he said the words, he knew he was afraid and quickly made up for it: "The nature of this incident is too bad. If we don't dig out all these people, we will
I can't feel at ease up and down, and it's not all because of you."
"What do you want?" Bei Gaoyang was a little impatient.
"Are those... uh... souls?"
Bei Gaoyang casually threw out three stones with dull shadows and asked: "Besides accepting the artificial intelligence program, what else is there to do this afternoon?"
Yu Qingdong hurriedly caught the three stones. The moment he touched them, his whole body began to tremble.
Bei Gaoyang was amused by his appearance and smiled, his expression softened a little, and he said: "This is a soul stone. It cannot be exposed for too long in a demon-free environment."
"Ah, it's so hot...how can I let...let...let the inside..."
Bei Gaoyang sighed and said: "So what if I give it to you, what can you do...Forget it, I'll find someone for you...Ding Jian, come here!"
This was the first time Bei Gaoyang called a student by his name instead of his number.
Ding Jian was flattered and frightened, while the other students were secretly sad, but they couldn't explain what they had lost.
Lost the chance to stay in this cage?
The Superman in the Cage was their self-mockery when Bei Gaoyang was away. The colorful world outside was increasingly deepening their dissatisfaction with the status quo. The so-called Zero Project and the specially organized rare talent positions gave them a certain degree of confidence.
Imagination and expectation, so this "secret sadness" is complicated, with both negative and positive aspects. Maybe even they themselves can't tell who is more and who is less.
"I'll give you a task..."
In this way, Ding Jian got a chance to leave the cage temporarily, and got a new spell configuration. With the "cheats" given by his instructor, he followed Yu Dazui and left the cage in a daze.
Sitting in the car, watching the red building I had lived in for several months getting further and further away, I realized that this was true.
The famous Yu Dazui started making phone calls as soon as he got in the car, otherwise he was typing something mysteriously on the keyboard. The car was like a mobile office, and those who were so busy didn't even have time to shiver with him.
After finally getting out of the cage, everything he saw felt new, which was pitiful to say the least. He had almost forgotten the conveniences of modern life and facilities. These few months of isolation from the world felt like years or more than ten years.
It's been a long time.
One post every three steps, one sentry post every five steps, the car passed through countless checkpoints and left the heavily guarded factory. The inhabited places along the way were quiet, and people wearing red armbands were vaguely watching vigilantly.
Every entrance and exit cast a scrutinizing and vigilant look at the convoy.
He didn't know why this was happening until he saw a newly erected billboard that read: "Six to six are strictly prohibited to prevent espionage and theft. The general public should be concerned and be alert to abnormal people and abnormal behaviors around them. The reporting hotline is: 12339...
…”
After entering the Magic City area, the tense atmosphere was slightly relieved. There were fewer checkpoints and anti-riot police. From the outdoor TV broadcasts, Ding Jian learned about the major attack that had just happened and shocked the country. Only then did he know what his mentor had just experienced.
A premeditated and organized assassination.
"...What, North America wants to see the chairman? Tell them that there is no need to discuss it. They can meet the chairman as soon as he wants to take care of everything? Let the Americans understand that they are begging me, not us begging him!"
"First, the people must be released unconditionally, their innocence must be cleared, and all charges must be dropped. Second, the thieves must be caught, and the company's losses must be recovered. Third, North America cannot be special and must follow the international trend.
Take steps.”
"What does the North American Division want to do? They are no longer our wholly-owned subsidiary. The subsidiary directs the parent company. He is the president of North America, not the parent company. Let him figure out his identity and position!"
"...Okay, very good. Take the time to sign a contract with the EU. The lottery situation. If they want to participate in the process, they can participate. 20% of the quota is 20% of the quota. Anyway, it is their gaming equipment that is being grabbed. If it is exposed, it is also
They practice favoritism and malpractice...What, what, what I said doesn't work?"
"...The Japanese business department is pretty good. They have already come up with a plan? Uh... I know how to deal with human nature. I have specially approved 10% of their equipment for public relations... Don't care about this, just let them take it apart and study it."
Nothing else, infinite matter cannot be observed by any technological equipment or means, let alone any reverse engineering, so don’t worry and let them do it.”
"...Lao Wang? Well, the chairman has given special instructions to speed up the work progress. When can your factory start production? What, don't be careless, I tell you, three days, I will give you three more days
Time, I want to see the first batch of helmets produced within three days!”
"Don't complain to me. I have just issued a military order. No one can say it. If you can't do it, someone will do it. You don't have to build the house, and production can't be delayed. Don't think that I don't know the tricks inside. I'm just sitting in a shack.
Here, as long as the people are in place, helmets can be produced. We need a sterile workshop. Why are you using this excuse to mess with me?"
"Hey, your human resources... ah, it's Minister Liu, sorry, sorry... uh, I know, I can cooperate as much as I want, but I just received the Shang Fang Sword, and the old Buddha is very dissatisfied with the progress of the Canaan Five Tests
, I may not have that much time to cooperate with the investigation and concerted action?”
"I know, I know, I've got the stuff, and I'm bringing a special talent who came out of the red building... In half an hour, ask your people to come to the company headquarters to pick you up. I won't go with you. I'll probably have to stay up all night tonight.
...Lafayette will leave tomorrow, well, it’s been confirmed.”
After hearing what he said about himself, Ding Jian quickly straightened his posture and waited for Yu Qingdong to end the confidential line call. He rubbed his brows tiredly and said, "Um...Ding Jian, right?"
"It's me."
"You should seize the time to review your homework. When you get to the place, don't ask anything. Just do whatever they ask you to do."
"OK."
Ding Jian then opened the 'secret book' given to him by his mentor, a parchment that recorded new spell configurations, spells and spell-casting steps.
The structure of the zero-ring spell [Soul Servant] is not complicated. Once you immerse yourself in it, you will forget about external matters.
The convoy returned to Canaan Company's headquarters building, and soon a helicopter landed on the apron on the roof of the building. Ding Jian was protected by an unknown special police officer and boarded the plane, flying straight to Base Zero.
The base is already looking forward to it.
When he took out the soul stone given by his mentor in a room filled with surveillance and sensors and full of science fiction style, and successfully extracted the souls of three attackers from it, he seemed to hear a unanimous gasp.
The souls of the three attackers became servants, and three illusory, indifferent white humanoid shadows floated around. All the lenses and sensors were focused, collecting data at full power.
"Little comrade, what can they do?"
There was no rush to interrogate, and a very old and excited voice came from the intercom.
"Can do many things, such as serving tea and water, cleaning the room, acting as eyes and ears..."
The person on the other end of the intercom choked, and the quarrel started again. After a while, a different voice asked, "Do they still have memories of their lifetimes?"
"It's still there, but it's incomplete."
"Then ask about their identity and resume."
"Wait a minute, little comrade, you said they still have memories of their lives, right? How long can they last?"
"Well...if there is no external interference, it will not take more than a week at most. It will be faster in a demon-free environment..."
"It's only been a week..." The voice sounded a little disappointed, "What do you mean by external intervention?"
"I don't know!" Ding Jian saw that there was nothing written on the parchment, "I'm just an apprentice."
"What questions are you asking? Is it related to the 6.21 special event? Playing the piano randomly..."
There was another dispute over the intercom. Ding Jian could only wait quietly with his three soul servants. Although he couldn't see anyone, he could feel how much influence these three indifferent white shadows gave them.
