51: Cooperated with Jiuzhou to develop military operating systems

“You’re really not going to pursue the attack?” Lu Xingye asked cautiously.

“Of course not.”

“Compared to holding you responsible, we’re more interested in how you managed to cause such extensive damage at the scene,” Long Yingtian replied definitively.

“Sigh…”

Lu Xingye knew he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he decided to reveal everything, using it as a bargaining chip to demand more benefits from Long Yingtian.

For example: a military industry license.

For example: bodyguards who are retired special forces soldiers.

“That day, Dawei and I were driving on the road. Dawei was driving, and I was dozing in the passenger seat… I happened to notice three cars following us in the rearview mirror…”

“After making several turns, those three vans were still following us… I knew something was wrong.”

“Then I frantically called the police…”

“Stop… I know all that. Get to the point.” Long Yingtian frowned, interrupting Lu Xingye.

“…”

“Alright…”

“Here’s what happened…”

“You know Suihuo Technology is a high-tech enterprise, so it’s normal for us to produce one or two experimental robots, right?”

Robots???

Long Yingtian exclaimed, listening to Lu Xingye, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Are you saying the scene of the attack was damaged by a robot?”

“Uh… yes.”

“Are you saying that the horn-shaped car roof was also caused by a robot?”

“Uh… yes. I was piloting the robot, and it flew out of the car roof. It accidentally ended up like that,” Lu Xingye said, half-truthfully.

He didn’t dare to say that the scene was caused by him wearing the Iron Man Suit.

The Iron Man Suit is much harder to make than a robot.

Lu Xingye still hadn’t figured out the principle behind the Iron Man Suit or how it could fit into a briefcase.

Saying it was a robot, while a bit exaggerated, wasn’t entirely impossible in the real world.

Hadn’t the news reported many robotic cats and dogs appearing recently?

So, a robot appearing now would also be quite reasonable!

…He Chendong, who was nearby, winked at Lu Xingye. “Student Lu, this is a very important person. You need to be responsible for what you say.”

“Teacher He, what I’m saying is the truth.”

“Then bring out the robot for us to see…”

Lu Xingye hesitated but still didn’t take out the Iron Man Suit.

Because the Iron Man Suit is not a product of this era.

Even with current technology, it cannot be produced.

Modern technology cannot produce the Iron Man Suit, yet he possesses this epoch-making Iron Man Suit. This doesn’t conform to common sense and cannot be explained.

(Iron Man also plays games. Readers, take a look below to relax.)

It’s better to find an excuse to gloss over it for now. When he produces a robot, they will know whether what he said was true or false.

“That robot was damaged in the battle…”

“But I can build a new robot to prove it to you.”

“Is that true?” Long Yingtian asked, surprised and delighted.

Jiuzhou Science and Technology Park had always been engaged in robot research, but there had been no progress. Not to mention other complex devices for robots, even the most core component—the drive energy—could not be broken through.

If what Lu Xingye said was true, then Jiuzhou might very well lead the world in the field of robotics.

“Of course, it’s true.”

“Then I’ll believe you for now. How long will it take you to build a new robot?”

“Three months,” Lu Xingye replied after some hesitation.

Three months was the result of his comprehensive consideration. From the data stored by Jarvis, building a simple robot was not difficult, and three months was enough time.

“Good.”

“Then I’ll wait for you for three months.”

“If, after three months, you can show me a robot that satisfies me, I guarantee that all your future activities in Jiuzhou will have a green light,” Long Yingtian replied with a smile.

That’s what I was waiting for.

Hearing Long Yingtian’s reply, a faint smile appeared on Lu Xingye’s lips.

Today was truly his lucky day.

Although Jiuzhou had discovered part of his secret, reaching a cooperation with Jiuzhou marked the beginning of Suihuo Technology’s transformation into the military industry… Long Yingtian and Lu Xingye chatted for about half an hour about the attack incident. They had basically learned everything they needed to know.

He then stated his other purpose for being there.

“Student Lu.”

“Your Kunlun System is excellent, and its security is very high. Our research institute indicates that the Kunlun System’s security is even higher than our military systems.”

“So…”

“This trip, besides understanding the attack incident, is more about representing Jiuzhou to discuss cooperation with you.”

“Many of our systems have too many loopholes and cannot compare to the Kunlun System… So we want you to jointly develop a new generation of military systems with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.”

Developing systems?

I’m good at this!

With Jarvis at hand, writing a system in half a day is no problem.

In Lu Xingye’s opinion, Long Yingtian was practically delivering experience to him. Being able to successfully board the national ship would make his future life much easier.

“That’s absolutely no problem.”

“I can even develop it independently…”

Lu Xingye spoke halfway, perhaps realizing that saying so was too high-profile, and his voice gradually trailed off. By the end, his voice had completely disappeared.

“What did you say?” Long Yingtian didn’t hear clearly.

“Cough, cough…”

“Nothing.”

“I said that me jointly developing a military system with the Chinese Academy of Sciences is absolutely no problem,” Lu Xingye chuckled drily.

“That’s good.” Long Yingtian nodded in satisfaction, then shamelessly added:

“According to my understanding, you have already launched Nano Battery for commercial use, but our military is still using traditional lithium batteries…”

Isn’t he just trying to buy Nano Battery?

Beating around the bush!!!

Lu Xingye’s smile grew wider. It seemed his luck was good today. The military actually had a request for him, so the military industry license and retired special forces bodyguards should be settled.

“That’s not a problem.”

“Suihuo Technology will supply them at direct cost. And the quality will be better than what’s on the market.”

At this point, Lu Xingye seemed to think that saying this was a bit inappropriate and not enough to show his patriotism, so he added another sentence.

“Of course…”

“If Jiuzhou needs it, I don’t even want money…”

No money?

Long Yingtian was touched by these words. The more he looked at Lu Xingye, the more pleasing he found him.

This young man is good.

Very good.

He understands the greater good.

He knows that the country comes before the family.

He’d rather not make money himself than help the military upgrade its equipment at cost.

He truly is a good young man of the new era.

Unlike some entrepreneurs who are full of greed and wouldn’t sell anything unless they got every penny.

“That won’t do.”

“Jiuzhou will not take advantage of you.”

“Whatever the cost price of the Nano Battery is, that’s what we’ll pay. We absolutely cannot let Jiuzhou enterprises lose money.”

Lu Xingye and Long Yingtian shook hands firmly. Just like that, Suihuo Technology officially reached a cooperation with Jiuzhou.

“Haha… these are all things we should do.”

“Student Lu, your sense of awareness is truly high. If everyone had your awareness, it would be great. If your company encounters any difficulties during its development, you can always come to me,” Long Yingtian said courteously.

“Well, there actually are some…”

“1. Suihuo Technology is preparing to transition into the military industry. I wonder if you can help me obtain a military industry license?”

“2. You know, I’m currently the chairman of Suihuo Technology, and many people are watching me. But I don’t even have a qualified bodyguard around me. I wonder if you could send some retired special forces soldiers to be my bodyguards?”

Listening to Lu Xingye, Long Yingtian couldn’t help but frown.

What I said just now was just a courtesy. You really know how to take advantage of the situation.

I can help you apply for the military industry qualification!

But~

Retired special forces soldiers… Do you really think retired special forces soldiers are like cabbages?

Available whenever you want them.

Currently, Jiuzhou’s retired special forces soldiers are in high demand and short supply. They are all reserved by various special departments before they even retire. There’s no way it would be your turn.
