52: Chapter 52 The Interns at Dragon Science Institute!

Xu's Heavy Industry, new factory area.

The mecha production line was officially put into operation.

To prevent a repeat of the previous incident where photos were leaked, the security measures for this production line were exceptionally well-executed.

Facial recognition security doors were installed, along with security alarm systems, and surveillance was active twenty-four hours a day.

On this day, Xu Hao put on his work uniform and arrived at the production line early.

Looking at the clean, dust-free, brand-new production line, Xu Hao felt refreshed.

He walked around the entire production line, carefully inspecting the vast and spacious workshop.

Then, he returned to the workbench.

"To design and build a surreal, futuristic mecha, the most critical issues that need to be solved are the mecha materials, mecha components, and the mecha system!"

Xu Hao took out paper and pen, recording the plan for the upcoming construction in detail.

He had already fully studied and digested the design blueprints exchanged from the system.

The corresponding technical knowledge and such were all imprinted in his mind.

Now, what he needed to do was systematic design and to formulate a clear construction process.

"As for the mecha's materials, given current technology, only titanium alloy is the most suitable."

Xu Hao recorded titanium alloy as the material.

If this were before, he might have needed to run around to obtain titanium alloy.

But now that it had become a state-owned enterprise with the backing of the Dragon Kingdom, he didn't need to worry about materials at all.

As long as he reported it and placed an order, they would naturally get it for him.

"The material problem is solved; next are the mecha components."

Xu Hao frowned slightly.

The mecha components primarily consist of the external mecha, which requires extremely strong impact resistance.

"The exterior of the mecha must be able to reflect, refract, absorb, or emit radar waves. Specifically, it should have a military-grade electronic shell that can trigger interference explosions when a missile is within five meters of the mecha!"

The realization of this function required the use of military reflective radar.

"Besides that, there is the mecha system."

Xu Hao pondered, then muttered to himself:

"The mecha's system is divided into an inner core system, an outer core system, and ten terminal systems."

"The energy system, transmission system, skeletal system, armor system, weapon system, plugin system, sensory system, master control system, manipulation system, and life support system—these are the mecha's ten terminal systems."

Each system has different roles and functions, and through the division of labor and cooperation of each system, they jointly support the operation of the mecha as a whole.

"Beyond these, there is the middle section of the mecha, the mecha control cabin..."

Xu Hao spent nearly an hour in the workshop thinking and organizing, and as time quietly slipped by, it reached eight o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, the sound of the security door opening rang out, and Xu Hao had finally finished sorting through all the processes.

He turned his head and looked at the three people walking into the workshop.

The people who entered were the interns sent by Professor Shen Hongcai and the others.

As soon as they entered, they greeted Xu Hao.

"Hello, Chairman Xu!"

The three of them shouted in unison.

Xu Hao nodded and gestured for them to come over.

He had met these three interns a few days ago and had gotten familiar with them.

Coming over today meant formally entering the new workshop to assist him with the upcoming mecha construction.

"You are all interns from the Dragon Academy of Sciences, so your professional standards are naturally beyond doubt."

"However, in the time ahead, our tasks may be quite heavy, so you must be prepared to endure hardship."

Xu Hao looked at the three of them and reminded them.

"Chairman Xu, we understand."

Li Ping, the intern from the School of Physics, replied.

The other two interns, Xu Jianshu and Jin Lexian, also nodded.

They had been arranged by their respective mentors to come here, assist Xu Hao, and learn from him.

Xu Hao didn't waste any words and began assigning tasks to the three of them individually.

The four of them had a clear division of labor, each working diligently at their own posts.

And for the next few days, their work was like this every day.

From eight in the morning to six in the evening, they stayed in the enclosed, high-security workshop for the entire day.

Another day passed, and after working for half the morning, they finally had a little break.

The three interns immediately put down their work, gathered together, and sat on the floor, panting.

"Whew... I'm exhausted!"

Li Ping rubbed his wrists, his face full of fatigue.

"Working ourselves to death, yet I don't even know what we've been researching all these days?"

Xu Jianshu lay on the floor, looking utterly defeated.

These past few days had worn them out; they had been busy on the production line every single day.

But what they couldn't understand was that they had no idea what they were researching.

"Hey, do you think... we aren't developing an excavator, are we?"

Xu Jianshu sat up from the floor and asked Li Ping and Jin Lexian.

He had previously checked the information on Xu's Heavy Industry, and its predecessor was founded on making excavators.

Therefore, he immediately guessed that they were doing research on excavators.

"An excavator? Is it a technological innovation? I think... the technical level of these few modules is actually quite high."

Li Ping looked confused.

Although they complained about being tired these past few days, they had still done some real work.

After all, they were interns from the Dragon Academy of Sciences, with solid basic skills and a serious attitude.

"Sigh, I don't understand why our mentors had to send us down here."

"We joined the Dragon Academy of Sciences to learn technology, but now that we're following Chairman Xu, what kind of technology can we learn?"

"He is just an entrepreneur; making money is what he cares about most, and he doesn't have much technology in his hands at all."

"It seems we are destined to be the worst among this batch of interns."

Xu Jianshu looked dejected, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

He had thought that this time, the Dragon Academy of Sciences arranging for him to follow the three Old Professors—Professor Shen Hongcai, Professor He Jianhua, and Professor Cao Gang—would allow him to learn some knowledge and technology under them.

But he never expected that, after only a few days, they would be arranged to be by the side of the Chairman of Xu's Heavy Industry.

They said it was to assist Xu Hao in completing some technical tasks.

In fact, Xu Jianshu understood.

This was clearly some scientific research task arranged from above, and it turned out that this entrepreneur, who had no technical skills, couldn't complete it alone.

That's why they sent them over to help.

What Xu Hao said about the upcoming tasks being heavy was indeed true.

Because those scientific research tasks all depended on them, these interns from the Dragon Academy of Sciences.

Thinking of this, Xu Jianshu felt his heart turn cold.

They, these interns, had been completely abandoned by the Dragon Academy of Sciences!!

Jin Lexian looked at the two's dejected expressions and pondered for a moment.

He had been seriously completing the tasks assigned by Xu Hao these past few days, so he had also observed things quite carefully.

The project they were researching didn't look like an excavator.

Thinking of this, Jin Lexian said:

"It might not be as you said; it doesn't look like we are developing an excavator, but rather something that looks like... a large robot?!"

Jin Lexian's expression was somewhat uncertain.
