Chapter 71 Discussion
"You are quite self-conscious." Ji Li looked at the people in line, not treating her as a student who needed care: "Shouldn't you do something more regular?"

"Oh." Su Xiaocai pinched the flesh on her arm, "Look, my muscles are super nice."

The two brothers of the Ji family took a glance. Is there any difference from usual? The muscle arc that normal girls can bulge.

Why are you suddenly showing off?

Su Xiaocai would not tell them that she had become stronger and had more endurance.

You mortals cannot understand her pride.

She shows off her muscles just to express that she has made progress.

The soldier who came to bandage the wound teased the two people from the Ji family for not understanding romance: "The little girl is so lively, why don't you praise her! Although her hobbies are quite strange."

If that small body had a lot of big muscles, it would be impossible to look straight at it.

But as for personal hobbies, everyone is different and we should respect them.

"Don't say that my taste is weird." Su Xiaocai tied her hair up, put on protective clothing and gloves, and began to treat the wounds of the injured.

Su Xiaocai's movements were quick and skillful. Those who were bandaged praised her skills. "Young classmate, your technique is good. It's neither too loose nor too tight. Are you a medical student? How many years have you studied?"

"I studied for two days." Only the written test was a little troublesome, as she had to memorize a lot of knowledge points, but she was familiar with the other operations.

It took me two months to pass Ji Heng: "..."

Okay, okay, you are awesome. Next time someone praises him for his fast learning speed, he will be the first to introduce Su Xiaocai.

Su Xiaocai laughed and realized belatedly while bandaging the soldier that in her dream she was being slaughtered like a pig, which just happened to be the situation when she was being "slaughtered" by Lieutenant General Bai today.

What a shameless old man.

No wonder he is so strong, thanks to Wisdom 03.

He mentioned the "bad things" she had done at the beginning, making her feel guilty first, and then he would be gentle with her.

Well, never mind. If it were her, she would do the same.

When doing business, if you lower your attitude, you will be at a disadvantage, especially if you are the client.

……

Lieutenant General Bai was talking to the maintenance engineer who was researching the Black Wing: "How's the research going? Any clues?"

"Yes, but no." The maintenance engineer said sadly: "The mecha was blown up too thoroughly. The most important safety cabin and power system were all shattered. But we can see that this mecha is a masterpiece that transcends time. It is definitely a master-level work. Even if more than a dozen professors are gathered together to study it, it will take five or six years."

"We can only understand the design of the mecha at present. There is a new alloy knife left on its back. Although the blade is bent, the blast just happened to make the knife fly away from the most damaged area. We are studying its use. I heard that there is a relatively intact product of the same model among the students. Can you borrow it back, Lieutenant General?"

Lieutenant General Bai: "The other party has not applied for a patent, so I'm afraid it's not convenient to borrow it."

The repairmen looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone here had experience in applying for patents, and it was really slow.

"So when can she apply for it?"

"I don't know." Lieutenant General Bai said, "As you know, people in the Patent Office are always slow and rigorous in their work. I have talked to her, and she has applied for more than one technology. She is willing to open the technology of the protector that you have seen before to the military for free. Why don't you ask your teacher to urge it? People in the Patent Office pay more attention to authoritative people like you." Lieutenant General Bai brought up the topic at the right time, and his serious face increased his credibility.

"Is the other party really willing to open up the technology to us?"

"Yes."

Military personnel are not allowed to interfere in the Patent Office, so Lieutenant General Bai does not intend to take action personally, but to achieve his goal in a roundabout way.

The people at the patent office are more friendly to professors who apply for patents all year round.

The professors' words are worth a hundred words from any organization or force.

Repair technicians are the best middle ground.

"Okay, may I ask which research institute's product this is and who submitted the patent?"

"The girl I just talked to you, Su Xiaocai, is the owner of Black Wing."

The maintenance engineers all glared at Lieutenant General Bai, saying, "Why are you asking me now? What is the point of having a lieutenant general like you? You only know how to fight wars, but you have no contribution to technology."

"You should give us advance notice."

"Just now I thought it was someone's kid, he just came over and touched Black Wing."

"When will you let her come again? I have a lot of questions for her."

"Who is her professor? How old is she? Does she intend to pursue a doctorate? I can introduce my advisor to her."

"Which school did you go to? I'm taking a few months off next year, and a school has invited me to be a visiting professor."

Lieutenant General Bai was calm and composed. That bunch of technology geeks and old-timers finally had the chance to ask for help from him.

"Please hurry up as much as you can. Once the patent is ready, you can come to her at will. But now, please keep a low profile. I will prevent you from approaching her."

Lieutenant General Bai was used to being tough, and it was difficult for him to be gentle. But he was still very protective of his children. Su Xiaocai was considered to be on his side, and with him as a stumbling block, no one could disturb Su Xiaocai's peace.

He put his hands behind his back, ignored the dozen or so angry faces, and leisurely returned to the office.

Sit down and check Huang Yangxing's current battle situation first.

Without a leader, the Zerg were like loose sand and quickly collapsed.

Due to the relatively remote geographical location of Huangyang Star and the lack of other transformed planets, there is not much food available for the reproduction of the Zerg people, so their numbers are completely suppressed by the military.

Being completely annihilated.

The subsequent deputy general will rush to the Star Belt to provide support to the base that has been hit hardest.

Lieutenant General Bai set a date and asked him to leave before that date, and he could take over the rest.

After reviewing some important documents and making adjustments to the base's defense, he finally had time to watch the video recording given by Su Xiaocai.

He had previously watched the video recordings of Wu Qingqing and others.

To be honest, only the one on Wu Qingqing's mecha is relatively complete, but the camera is in the first person perspective, so you can only see the lenses shaking, and there are very few scenes focusing on Su Xiaocai's battle.

The videos provided by Hu Ping and Liu Xun all suffered varying degrees of image quality damage in post-production.

Open Su Xiaocai's file and check. At the beginning, the scene of everyone entering the underground passage was the same.

Su Xiaocai's video recording is of higher definition and the file is very large, so he can enlarge it thousands of times to see the details.

He deliberately slowed down to check the wall of the cave and felt that the stone wall was very smooth, like a karst cave.

Some of the angular lines can be seen to be caused by external forces.

Lieutenant General Bai thought that there were also experts in construction among the insect people.

They will build a nest for their mother, and the nest will be high up to simulate a human fortress.

The Zerg can easily resist external enemies and even long-range attacks. They can hide in the fortress to counterattack the enemy. As long as there is this type of building, there will be Zerg.

This means there is more than one mother inside, and it is very difficult to deal with.

It’s just that building Zergmen are very rare, and their generation is very random, just like the direction of Zergmen’s evolution is uncontrollable. The more times the Zergmen evolve, the greater the differences between them.

If you want to produce building-type insect-men in a targeted manner, you need enough mother bodies to produce them, or the mother body contains a targeted gene that only focuses on producing the same type of insect-men.

This passage was dug in a messy way, not like the style of the Zerg-type buildings. Lieutenant General Bai felt relieved and continued to watch the video.

The effect presented by the first person perspective is as if you are actually there, especially when you see the part where Su Xiaocai is fighting with the mother body.

This passage truly made him feel how powerful Su Xiaocai was.

If it were him, he might choose to temporarily keep some distance instead of repeatedly jumping sideways in front of the mother body and trying extreme operations.

However, Su Xiaocai's choice was correct. The only thing on her mecha that could cause great damage was the last super-high temperature bomb she fired against the dog-headed insect man.

The others are melee weapons.

Keeping your distance is equivalent to giving up the attack.

She was taking risks with every step she took. If she miscalculated even the slightest bit, she would be crushed to pieces.

The dog-headed warrior insect man is too strong, not as weak as the deputy general reported.

It was just consumed too much by Su Xiaocai, so it became weak.

Lieutenant General Bai felt more and more sorry for this promising talent. It seemed that his attitude towards her could be a little gentler.

Uh, try to be gentle. Naughty kids are too naughty, and if you are too gentle, you will be eaten alive.

Later, Su Xiaocai fought two against one and killed the mother...

Wait, what is the plant she killed the mother with?
Lieutenant General Bai stopped to look at the flower and searched for the same one online.

It has a nice name and is one of the ornamental plants.

Mangxue, originally the "mang" in Mangxue was written as "meng", which means sucking blood like a gadfly. The person who named it felt that "meng" (meng) did not sound good and did not match its beautiful appearance, so he changed the name to Mangxue.

Also known as Red Enchantress.

Generally when it reaches the customer, it is in flower state and is harmless to humans.

Its seeds will take root and sprout only on a corpse.

Once the supply entity is confirmed, the root system will expand and grow rapidly.

If you want to produce fruits later, you need to keep supplying nutrients. In an ecological environment like the capital planet, there are many humans and few animals, and feed insects have to be imported from other planets. It is difficult to raise them well.

No one would have thought that such a lovely and beautiful plant could bring such terrible consequences to the insect mother.

How come no one thought of this before?
From the video, Lieutenant General Bai summarized a few points. The use of Mangxue seeds is also subject to conditional restrictions. First of all, most of the mother body's strength has been consumed, and it can be said to be a spent force.

Secondly, the mother body must lose its ability to fight back.

It says on the Internet that the fuller the seed, the faster it absorbs nutrients.

Those that are shriveled usually need careful cultivation.

But when it comes to the mother body, its function becomes outstanding. Accelerating the death of the insect people has always been the effect that the military wants.

He thought for a while and assigned a task to Colonel Yuan, asking him to find a plant expert.

Huang Yangxing's gold mine will eventually be mined out.

Huangyang Star is now piled with countless insect-man corpses, waiting to be burned.

With the Mang blood, maybe Huangyang Star can be revitalized and become a centralized place for processing insect corpses. It can also develop tourism.

He has even thought about the sustainable development of the planet in the future. Lieutenant General Bai thought that the Cultural and Tourism Bureau and local development departments should thank him now.

The more he watched, the more General Bai regretted that Su Xiaocai had chosen to go into business. It was such a pity.

At such a young age, he already has the bearing of a great general. In time, he will surely become a general.

Thinking about her endless scientific and technological works, forget it, it’s safer to be a researcher.

Lieutenant General Bai watched the video repeatedly and found a lot of good things worth exploring.

Su Xiaocai is a treasure, he must make friends with her.

Colonel Yuan knocked on the door and walked in after getting a response. "Sir, the three spies brought back by Colonel Bai are dead, and several suspicious people found by artificial intelligence are brain dead at the same time."

Previously, the assistant beside Major General Mo was captured and died soon after drinking the truth serum.

No useful information could be obtained from them, and after the autopsy, it was discovered that their brains were occupied by something like a parasite.

Therefore, no useful information was obtained.

The three spies who were interrogated later had previously been lurking around Major General Mo, Colonel Bai, and the assistant in charge of managing the warship.

The three spies who were caught by the military and knew they could not escape took the initiative to disclose the internal communication methods.

Their loyalty to the spy organization is not as crazy as the previous one.

Fortunately, the military interrogated him in time.

Just today, they all died.

Lieutenant General Bai looked serious and said, "Go on."

Colonel Yuan said: "Their internal communication method is using insect people."

Somewhere there is a mother body similar to a central collector. The insect people born from this mother body have no attack power, but they have close communication.

The insect man can crawl into the brain through the nostrils, mouth, etc., and then act as a megaphone.

Even if you go for a physical examination, it cannot be detected unless a brain test is done.

The three were just external employees of the spy organization and only revealed one-sided information. The biggest gain was the incomprehensible method of "insect-human communication".

The spy organization actually turned its members into toys of the insect people, and they were not afraid of getting into trouble.

"Lieutenant General, should we report this matter immediately?" The 022 base has just made a great contribution, but it turned out that there were spies lurking around many generals.

If it hadn't been for the incident, with Su Xiaocai's efforts and the Wisdom 03 Judgment System, they would have had the time to find the person.

The consequences could be disastrous.

But once this matter is reported, the previous merits may be offset. Colonel Bai, Major General Mo and others will definitely be punished, and in serious cases, they may even be demoted.

Lieutenant General Bai was the first to bear the brunt of the criticism.

Lieutenant General Bai didn't care: "Report it, don't worry about anything else, at worst I'll take a vacation."

Colonel Yuan pursed his lips and smiled. If Lieutenant General Bai was not a man of integrity, he would not have followed him so closely.

"Okay, I'll report it right away. One more thing. The people who will escort Su Xiaocai back home have been chosen. Their physical examinations need to include a brain scan. Sir, please approve it."

Now Su Xiaocai's information is a top-secret file of the 022 base, and there cannot be any mistakes.

All matters and activities related to her had to go through Lieutenant General Bai's hands.

Lieutenant General Bai: "Well, go ahead and arrange for her to return as soon as possible. It's safer in school than here."

No matter how talented the students in the school are, they are still young people who have not yet entered society. With the old principal of the military training school in charge, Su Xiaocai's safety is guaranteed.

"Yes, there is one more thing I forgot to mention." Colonel Yuan stopped turning around, "The laboratory location that Su Xiaocai wants is very close to her company. It's owned by the school doctor of Junpei Jili. Do you want to give him a heads up? According to investigation, he gets more discounts when renting to acquaintances."

The military's finances are not tight, but saving where necessary and spending where necessary is a fine traditional virtue.

"You can tell him that it's more convenient for Su Xiaocai to come in and out. If he wants a discount, he can take it, but this laboratory, which we rented to Su Xiaocai, must be clearly separated into public and private areas."

Colonel Yuan had perfect comprehension ability: I understand: When renting the laboratory, we have to tell Su Xiaocai that it was the military that rented it to her, and it has nothing to do with the person named Ji.

The upright Lieutenant General Bai also has a slippery side.

Only people like Lieutenant General Bai can survive in the center of power.

The little fanboy has an excellent imagination, which is why Lieutenant General Bai likes to order Colonel Yuan around.

He doesn't even need to explain himself, Colonel Yuan can automatically beautify any of his words and actions.

Only those few scum who just died were still shouting before they died that it was the fault of these generals, and that they rebelled because they were promoted for the sake of their looks.

In fact, it is due to lack of ability and loyalty.

……

On the fifth day after the insect attack, a very important event was announced among the schools.

Since the collective attack of the Zerg has not ended, the Ten-Star Mecha Competition has been delayed and is expected to be delayed to half a year later.

The specific time will be notified separately.

As soon as the news came out, all schools accepted the notice very calmly.

It should be noted that training a participating student requires not only the students’ hard work and time, but also the school’s financial and manpower expenditures.

A cancellation means all previous efforts are in vain.

But the number of students who died has not been fully counted, so how can we hold the competition?

If it were held as usual, the people would criticize them to death.

The students who are still on the 022 Mechanical Planet feel the same way and can understand the actions of the organizers of the Ten-Star Mecha Master Competition.

It is a blessing to be able to stay safely on the mechanical planet.

The instructors were all sent out to carry out tasks and had no time to take care of them, so the students had no choice but to take care of themselves.

They gathered together on their own accord and went to the training ground to practice. At the same time, they expressed their opinions on the topic of "stopping the Ten Star System Mecha Division Competition".

“Too many people died elsewhere.”

"It's right not to hold the competition. In this situation, if there is any accident in the Ten Star Tournament, it will be completely ruined."

"Ji Heng and Colonel Bai arrived just in time. We were able to save so many people. We should thank them."

"In my opinion, they did it on purpose. Those three teams have all been commended. As long as they join the army, with this as a foundation, they can climb faster than us."

"You nitpicker, stop talking. If you were to go to Huangyang Star, you would have become a piece of shit long ago."

"Bug people can poop?"

"Yue, stop talking. They haven't evolved an asshole. They just spit out the digested residue from their mouths."

"So... the insect-men born from the mother's body are also her excrement?"

Even more disgusting! Let’s stop talking about this.

"Aren't we talking about the Ten-Star Mecha Competition?"

"Oh, the competition has nothing to do with us, so we can just watch."

"Who said that? Doesn't Xue Huiyi's group have a backup player, GG?"

"Hush, you want to die, if Xue hears you, he will be petty again."

"You finally realized that she is petty? I have known for a long time that she is not only petty, but also insidious. When selecting the reserve candidates for the competition, she deliberately let the people around her fight against my brother, causing my brother to lose the election."

"Can't we really talk about the tournament?"

"More training and less talking. By the way, where were we?"

As Xue Huiyi has been in a bad mood recently and has been so irritating that she can't even maintain her friendly mask, many people have seen through her true character and no longer hang around her.
