Chapter 87 Thief
With so many patents, tens of millions were handed over at once.

Su Xiaocai felt that she was quite stubborn at the time.

Although she made some money, it was really hard for her to pay for it all by herself.

All plans cannot keep up with the changes, so I can only use this money as my own salary to fill in the gaps.

Think about the tax to be paid later.

The mountains of life came pressing down on me, and I once again regretted leaving the comfort zone of Su’s planet.

Hope the review can be faster.

Su Xiaocai: "Isn't it that substantive review is just about submitting samples and documents?"

"I don't know about that. Do I need to be there at that time?" Fei Yi needs to apply to enter the school, but she feels that Su Xiaocai is much more mature than many adults, and she doesn't necessarily need to be there.

"Did they say when they would come?"

"You should have a message notification..."

Su Xiaocai looked at the date, Sunday.

Today is Friday, which means some people will come the day after tomorrow. These people are either as slow as turtles or they are working overtime on holidays.

I won’t bother Feiyi on Sunday. She has been working overtime for many days in a row for her patent.

Su Xiaocai said considerately: "I think I can do it on my own. I wish you a happy holiday."

"Okay, if you have any questions, feel free to call me."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaocai couldn't help but give Lieutenant General Bai a thumbs up for his high efficiency.

In fact, Lieutenant General Bai had no involvement in the affairs of the Patent Office at all.

He just mentioned it, and the rest were all done by the old professors, who kept their achievements and fame to themselves.

Su Xiaocai thought for a while, then turned around and went back to the playground.

The Patent Office needed her to determine the location for the substantive examination. For safety reasons, it would be better to conduct it at school as the laboratory was not suitable for exposure.

Seeing Su Xiaocai reappear, the old people in the audience had not yet left, so Mei Lan hurriedly pulled her aside to introduce her to the members of the competition organizing committee.

"You were walking so fast just now, where were you going? The people in the audience are all from the competition organizing committee, don't you want to meet them?"

Su Xiaocai listened to Mei Lan's chatter and knew that Mei Lan was just concerned and was afraid that she would be too ungrateful and offend others.

But Mei Lan's temper is indeed a bit annoying.

Just like those elders who pay too much attention to their juniors, they care in their own way and find it difficult to take care of the emotions of their juniors, which often makes it easy for people to rebel.

Su Xiaocai had things to do, and she didn’t think that she could avoid offending anyone just by knowing someone on the organizing committee.

Because there are people from the Yi family and the Xue family in the organizing committee.

The Yi family cannot conclude that they are hostile for the time being.

But the Xue family must be like this, as long as Xue Huiyi exists, Su Xiaocai will never be friendly to her.

The Ten-Star Competition has always been broadcast live. Even if someone is able to manipulate the situation behind the scenes, they cannot be the one to judge the winner.

So it’s pointless for Mei Lan to worry about this.

Before Mei Lan introduced their names, Su Xiaocai said, "Hello, grandpas. I'm a little rushed. Can I borrow the principal's seat for a while?"

Everyone was silent.

Silence is allowed.

"Thank you, Grandpa. You are such nice people." Su Xiaocai looked up at the old principal, who understood.

"This student of mine is not in a hurry, so he won't do that. I'll excuse myself for now."

Mei Lan: Okay, okay, I’ve annoying people again.

He had no choice but to accompany these old people and talk to them one by one.

Su Xiaocai whispered a few words to the principal and left in a hurry.

The principal came back with unsteady steps.

Mei Lan looked around, "Principal, where is Su Xiaocai?"

Principal: "Don't look for her. She has something very important to do."

He said to several old friends from the organizing committee: "I'm sorry, someone else is looking for Su Xiao, let's bring her in to chat next time."

Smart people understand.

Being able to call someone away in front of them proves that your position is higher than theirs.

"It's a good thing that the child is young and promising. Many people come to see her on weekdays?" Among the organizing committee, an old man named Xue had a hooked nose and a fierce look in his eyes.

The old principal knew Mr. Xue and they were friends.

I know he has a big mouth and is a little naive.

"Don't worry about it. Mei Lan and Xiao Min (Vice Principal Min) will take you to dinner later. I still have to prepare for the guests with the children, so I have to leave now."

Mr. Xue shook his head, "I don't know who has more experience than us."

These old people are over a thousand years old in total.

"We are only responsible for the event, and there are many people who are higher in status than us."

"Okay, we old people, why would we bother with the young people? They call you grandpa, so you should be more generous."

Mei Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead. These old people understood yin and yang.

Fortunately, Su Xiaocai is not in their track and will not be a judge. Otherwise, with her "carefree" attitude of criticizing in public if she doesn't like something, she would definitely offend people.

……

Ten people from the Patent Office will come here on Sunday. They will review Su Xiaocai's patents at one time and ask questions on the spot to speed up the review process.

The reason why the principal was in such a hurry to leave was not because of the people from the Patent Office.

Rather, they were carrying smuggled goods.

Admiral Bai, who is on vacation, will also be there.

The front line had just been slightly reorganized when General Bai arrived. How could the principal not follow up?

They have seen a lot of people from the Patent Office. Every time they send samples over, there are many problems, and sometimes they have to go there in person.

Not surprising.

It’s different for General Bai. The principal will definitely try to get him an opportunity to give lectures at the school.

The principal gave Su Xiaocai access to a maintenance room in the school. This maintenance room is well-equipped and large in size, and is usually used as a laboratory for many senior students and professors.

Students need 100 points to apply for one day, which is as expensive as entering and leaving the school.

This maintenance room had just been used, and it was filled with a freshly opened paint smell.

It is estimated that the previous user used it up not long ago.

Su Xiaocai quickly fiddled with the safety cabin and the mechanical limbs of normal human height.

Then there was a pile of parts at the feet, plus a Rubik's Cube.

A new vest was also added. This small thing may not seem to have much technology on the surface, but the material it is made of is top-notch. When used on a mecha, it can withstand high-temperature lava without any problem.

Wei Lewen has more contact with patents.

So the principal also called Wei Lewen.

I plan to let him teach Su Xiaocai how to deal with those people in the Patent Office.

As soon as Wei Lewen came over, he completely forgot about the instruction as he was attracted by the mechanical limbs.

Carefully step over the pile of parts and walk to the robotic arm.

I took out a magnifying glass, but didn't dare touch it. I looked at it carefully from front to back and from left to right. The more I looked, the more itched I became and I wanted to try it myself.

Curious hands reached out and then retracted many times.

The samples cannot be touched easily, as it will be troublesome if they are damaged.

Wei Lewen suppressed the urge to find out what was going on, and together with the principal, he stood with his hands behind his back, watching Su Xiaocai clean up bit by bit.

The pile of parts was quickly transferred and assembled into its dedicated position.

Su Xiaocai distracted her attention to the principal and Wei Lewen: "Teacher, you can watch it if you want. I have more than one backup."

Wei Lewen nodded heavily, "Okay, okay, I won't damage it." He couldn't possibly damage his students' hard work.

He and the principal focused on the mechanical limbs.

In school, few people study equipment for the disabled, mainly because it is not very profitable.

After the research is completed, the official will limit the price for sale to a certain range.

After all, for most people with disabilities, the deposits in their bank accounts are less than the passwords they have.

Therefore, funding needs to be allocated from above every year before people are willing to conduct research.

It looks like imitation leather, but feels hard.

There is a transparent green belt running through the entire robotic arm, which looks very technological.

Wei Lewen weighed it and found it was lighter than a normal arm. He had seen light mechanical arms before, but overall, they were not as practical as heavier ones.

After all, the arms have been replaced with mechanical ones.

Lacking the dexterity of normal human fingers, some new features need to be added to make up for the shortcomings.

Since Su Xiaocai dares to challenge the simulated arm, it must have its advantages.

"Can I try it?" Su Xiaocai didn't say much. She turned around, released the authority of her arm, and tied the sensing bracelet connected to the robotic arm to Wei Lewen's arm.

The principal also came. Wei Lewen tied his right arm and he tied his left arm.

This is to make it easier for people with healthy limbs to feel the arm. When it comes to the robotic arm for the disabled, there will be no sensing bracelet.

Wei Lewen clenched his fist, and the robotic arm also clenched his fist. Then he relaxed, without moving his arm, and just gave the signal in his brain to clench his fist, and the robotic arm responded immediately.

Almost at the same speed as thinking.

Wei Lewen asked the robotic arm to do various movements, and it followed all of them. Even the movement of the arm was exactly the same as that of a human, without any sense of sluggishness.

After playing for a while, he started reading the instructions.

It mentions that the arms can be deformed to complete tasks that ordinary arms cannot do.

Transformation...

Wei Lewen curiously used the first mode, and his palm changed into a tool suitable for climbing. After another transformation, the alloy stretched and thinned, forming a magnetic field to enhance the signal.

There are more than ten modes in total, which allows ordinary people to transform into supermen.

The powerful robotic arm made Wei Lewen suddenly want to transform himself.

“Can you accept high-intensity training?”

“Yes, it can handle normal training. But it will get tired just like a normal human torso. When people rest, it also needs to rest.” Su Xiaocai put everything in place. She still had to go back to the laboratory to rush and make a low-profile version of the Black Wing.

It just needs some work done, and she can finish it by working overtime tomorrow.

The principal and Wei Lewen treasured it more and more the more they looked at it, and they were reluctant to put it down.

"Principal, Teacher Wei, I'm leaving now. Do you still want to watch? If you want to watch, remember to close the door."

"No, no." The two were in mixed emotions and needed to go back and calm down.

The students are full of talent and have completed their scientific research independently. They are so happy that they are overwhelmed with joy.

Su Xiaocai made sure to lock the door and left the school.

Wei Lewen said to the principal: "If Student Su really passes the patent, would you consider hiring Su Xiaocai as a teacher?"

For some geniuses, graduating early is a piece of cake.

Su Xiaocai doesn't even need to apply for early graduation, the school can give it to her proactively.

The military training school has always adhered to the concept that as long as students have outstanding performance in a certain academic field, they can be allowed to graduate even if they are not so good in other subjects.

The principal remained silent. When he returned to his office, he also called to scold Old Man Su.

Old Man Su received a phone call in the middle of the night, cursing like a dog without any reason. He was an old senior and relative, so he could only listen to the scolding, but it went in one ear and out the other. He forgot everything the next day and thought he had a nightmare.

On Saturday, Su Xiaocai did not return to school, but was busy putting the final touches on the paint on Black Wing.

……

The sky over the campus was full of stars at night. Su Xiaocai was working overtime when two students came to the security guard in charge of the maintenance room and laboratory, saying that something had fallen in the maintenance room and they needed to go and check it out.

"Do you have a pass to the lab?"

"We had access rights yesterday during the day, but it's been rented out all day today, so we can't get in. We just saw that there were no lights, so people should have left. We'll only be in for a while, and we'll come out after we get our things."

Seeing that the two boys looked sincere and didn't seem to be lying, the security guard asked, "Which room is it? What's missing?"

"A mecha paint. I forgot to take it yesterday."

Generally, maintenance rooms do not store important technical items, and the security guard does not know the reason why the maintenance room is rented, so he thinks that it is just used by students to repair mechas as usual.

"I'll only give you a few minutes, come out quickly."

"Thanks."

The two boys took the electronic key with a smile and ran towards the maintenance room that Su Xiaocai had entered today.

In the maintenance room, all the samples on display were covered with white cloth by Su Xiaocai and placed on a table.

"Why are there a few more things here?"

"Whose?"

"Don't worry about it, just look for something. We can't touch other people's things." The boy didn't lie, he really came to look for paint, because he needed to maintain the mecha the day before yesterday, so he came to the maintenance room rented by the senior student to mix it.

I forgot to take it after mixing it.

The paint on the surface of the mecha was slightly damaged. With his obsessive-compulsive disorder, he remembered the paint that he had just mixed not long ago and planned to take it back for use on the mecha.

Since he came here during the day yesterday, he couldn't remember where he put it.

So he pulled a lift and followed his memory to the place where the paint was usually kept.

He didn't look at what his friends were doing, he just focused on finding his own things.

Friends at the bottom are not that honest.

He gently lifted a corner of the white cloth, and the "light" of the simulated mechanical limbs stung the boy's eyes. Which student's research topic was the same as his?

He also made a finished product that was exactly the same as the mechanical limbs he had imagined he would make.

The boy couldn't help but wonder, "Maybe someone stole my design?"

This maintenance room is usually used by teachers or senior students. Maybe they have seen his design drafts and the things he made.

He turned around to look at his friend and saw that he was still looking for paint.

Heart pounding.

If someone really stole the mechanical limbs he designed and successfully manufactured, would he also be able to claim a share of the credit?

This man was very satisfied with the samples. He calmed his breath and thought about the purpose of coming to his school. Wasn't it to obtain cutting-edge technology?
He completely lifted the white cloth and picked up an arm. The moment he touched it, he realized that he had overthought everything and it was definitely not his.

But when a finished product is put out, he must refer to it.

Anything that can be put here at night should also be shown to others.

With this thought in mind, he turned his arm over to look for the start button, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. There was no start button, probably somewhere else.

There was a toolbox next to him, and the screwdriver in the toolbox seemed to remind him that he could open it and take a look, and then restore it afterwards without worrying about anyone discovering it.

At this time, his dirty thoughts reached their peak, and he was obsessed with studying other people's things.

He pried open the light green ribbon and prepared to open it carefully, his excitement growing.

There must be some very sophisticated design inside.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The boy who found the paint patted his friend nonchalantly.

With a shake of his hand, the entire mechanical arm fell apart.

The boy who was planning to take the reference was horrified and yelled, “What are you doing?”

"You're tearing up other people's things, and that's not right."

"It's mine, not someone else's." The boy lied hastily, "My tutor and I were researching something together. I don't know why the finished product is here."

"You mean your tutor stole your design? Which tutor?"

Seeing that he was hesitant and unable to speak, the paint boy said angrily, "Go ahead and say it."

He believed in his friend, but he was not stupid. "Let's go find the principal now and tell him about this. The principal is the most fair."

Seeing that his friend was unwilling, he just held the scattered parts in silence.

The paint boy noticed something strange and asked, "Do you have any evidence to prove that it's yours? If not, you stole it and can't claim it as your own."

The security guard's voice came from somewhere, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. "Hey, two students, are you still not done?"

The paint boy shook him and subconsciously said in a low voice: "Let's go, we can't take this thing. If we take it, we won't be able to explain it."

"Let's take it back and assemble it. There's no surveillance here. Let's bring it back tomorrow morning..."

The paint boy slapped him on the back to wake him up. "The maintenance room has been rented out. People come here late at night. Which one is more serious, breaking things or stealing things? Mo Yi, you can't do that."

Moyi has a pair of puppy eyes with the corners of his upper eyelids drooping. He looks particularly pitiful when he stares at people without blinking.

"Let's take it back, okay?"

The paint boy ignored him, very principled, and even more angry, he pulled his collar and growled, "We sneaked in, we can't take it, do you want to drop out?"

Yes, he doesn’t have to worry about dropping out of school. With this, he won’t have to worry about his livelihood in the future.

But the paint boy didn't give him a chance and forcefully pulled him away.

The stubborn man didn't realize that the hand holding the part was also holding the white cloth, and just pulled it.

Along with other samples, they were all swept to the ground.

The noise was so loud that they could already hear the security guard running over.

A red light flashed in the white cloth, which seemed to have triggered an alarm. Although there was no sound, it scared Moyi so much that he quickly let go.

Moyi finally came to his senses. He quickly dropped his things, took the boy who was painting, turned off the lights and left.

After running a few steps, I ran into the security guard coming towards me.

The security guard asked: "What happened? Are you okay?" The security guard did not suspect that they had done anything bad at first, but was afraid that they had an accident.

Mo Yi thought quickly, "No, we almost spilled the paint just now."

The paint boy's arm was poked.

He found it difficult to talk about the laboratory matters and could only nod with difficulty.

"I'm glad you're okay. Go back and go to sleep quickly." The security guard went to patrol the building.

The paint boy lowered his head, gritted his teeth and walked quickly.

But Mo Yi didn't care. He looked at the maintenance room reluctantly, wondering if he could go over with the senior students tomorrow and take another look. He would definitely be able to understand the principle behind it.
