55: Chapter 55 The professor really had good intentions!

The three interns from the Dragon Academy of Sciences discussed enthusiastically for over an hour.

From combat on The Surface, to deep-sea combat, and then to space combat, they were only one step away from fighting on extraterrestrial planets.

Xu Hao patted his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

Extraterrestrial space combat wasn't impossible, but it wasn't for now…

For now, it was better to make them stop discussing and prepare for the subsequent assembly and debugging!

After all, he had things to take care of later.

"Stop, stop, stop. Let's leave these topics for later and discuss them in depth then."

Seeing that Xu Jianshu was about to start a long-winded speech again, Xu Hao hurriedly interrupted.

Once they started talking, there was no end to it, and he hadn't even given his instructions yet.

Hearing Xu Hao's words, the three of them immediately stopped and stared at him blankly.

Ignoring their gazes, Xu Hao spoke and gave his instructions:

"I need to go out and meet someone later. Several modules of the mecha have been initially completed, so please hurry up and assemble and debug them."

"I will be back later, and at that time, we will address any issues that arise."

A week ago, Tangs Heavy Industry had made an appointment with him in advance, saying they wanted to have a good discussion with Xu Hao, and the time was set for a month later.

However, not knowing where they got the news, they learned that Xu Hao would be slightly free these few days and said they would come to visit earlier.

Hearing Xu Hao's words, Li Ping and the others immediately gave their assurance.

"Don't worry, Engineer Xu. We guarantee we will complete the task!!"

Their form of address for him had quietly changed from Chairman Xu to Engineer Xu.

Although it wasn't a big change, it was clear that the three of them now truly respected Xu Hao from the bottom of their hearts.

Previously, the three of them had been forced to cooperate with Xu Hao and participate in the R&D because of the instructions from the professors.

Now that they knew what was being built was a surreal large-scale mecha, the three of them finally understood that Xu Hao was an entrepreneur and technologist with real talent and practical skills.

He was completely different from the bosses of other companies.

After seeing Xu Hao off, the three of them started talking in the workshop again.

"Hey, do you think… Professor Shen and the others know we are building a mecha?"

Jin Lexian raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering something, and asked the other two.

Back when Professor Shen, Professor He, and Professor Cao asked them to come over to assist Engineer Xu, they hadn't specifically said what the project was.

"The professors must know!" Xu Jianshu said bluntly without even thinking.

"If the professors didn't know, would they have specially sent us here to learn from Engineer Xu?"

Xu Jianshu retorted with a question.

The Old Professors were in frequent contact with Engineer Xu, so they must have known that Engineer Xu was going to build a mecha.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have deliberately sent them to Engineer Xu's side at this time.

On The Surface, it was said to be assisting with Engineer Xu's project, but in reality, it was to let the few interns learn technology from Engineer Xu.

Thinking of this, Xu Jianshu felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

The professors were… too good to them!!

Boo-hoo-hoo…

Hearing Xu Jianshu's analysis, Li Ping nodded in agreement.

"That's right, the professors must know. It wouldn't have been appropriate for them to tell us directly, for fear of walls having ears and causing bad influences. That's why they found the excuse of 'assisting Engineer Xu in completing the task' to let us personally participate in the research of the mecha project."

"Really! Professor Shen and the others have such profound good intentions, I'm crying to death!!"

"When the mecha is finished later, I must properly thank Engineer Xu and the several Old Professors!!"

Li Ping clenched his fists and said with a sincere expression.

The professors had sacrificed too much for the three of them as interns.

It was hateful that they had previously thought the professors had given up on them by letting them follow an entrepreneur with no technical skills.

Now, they finally understood.

This wasn't giving up at all!

This was clearly valuing them highly and letting them learn from an entrepreneur with technical skills like Engineer Xu.

If they could get the mecha project done well, their reputation, technology, and experience would make a leapfrog improvement.

Thinking of this, the three of them felt a bit excited in their hearts.

They were filled with righteous indignation and high fighting spirit.

Looking at the incredibly complex blueprints in their hands and the profound and difficult modules,

For a moment, they didn't feel it was that difficult anymore.

The backaches and pains caused by working continuously for the past few days seemed to have disappeared completely at this moment.

Their waists didn't hurt, their legs weren't sore, they were full of spirit, as if they had endless energy!

"Quick! Hurry up! Following Engineer Xu's instructions, let's get to work!!"

Xu Jianshu waved his arms and immediately took action.

Li Ping and Jin Lexian also nodded heavily and started working.

...

The morning passed quietly, and the three of them, busy with assembly and debugging, forgot the time. Only when their stomachs started growling did they realize it was already noon.

"Whew… refreshing! It's been a long time since I completed a scientific research project so seriously!!"

Li Ping sighed with emotion and stretched.

Xu Jianshu and Jin Lexian also put down the modules in their hands and let out a long sigh of relief.

They rotated their somewhat sore necks, with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Although their bodies were very tired, they were very satisfied in their hearts.

"Let's go! Let's go have lunch first!" Li Ping suggested. "The body is the capital for striving! After we finish eating, we will continue assembly and debugging, and strive to get it done as soon as possible!"

"Let's go, let's go eat!!"

"Mm-hmm!!"

The three of them took off their work clothes, passed through the security door, walked out of the workshop, and headed to the Xu's Heavy Industry canteen to eat.

It was past the meal time, so there weren't many people in the canteen.

After Li Ping, Xu Jianshu, and Jin Lexian got their food, they gathered at the same table.

When they were halfway through their meal, Professor Shen Hongcai also came to the canteen to eat.

Seeing Li Ping and the others, Professor Shen Hongcai walked over with his meal and shared a table with them.

"Professor Shen!"

"Professor Shen!"

"Professor Shen!"

Seeing Professor Shen Hongcai, the three of them hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks and politely greeted him.

"No need to be so polite, everyone sit down and eat." Professor Shen Hongcai waved his hand, smiled kindly, and invited them to sit down and eat together.

Professor Shen Hongcai looked at the three interns and asked with concern:

"How is it? How have you been doing over at Engineer Xu's side during this time?"

Professor Shen Hongcai took a bite of rice, with a smile on his face.

"Although the project at Engineer Xu's side might not compare to the one here at the Dragon Academy of Sciences, Engineer Xu's technology is still very impressive."

"Don't look at him as young, or as the chairman of the enterprise; he is down-to-earth, hard-working, has avant-garde ideas, and his technical skills are solid. You must learn well from him!!"

Professor Shen Hongcai looked at the three of them—Li Ping and the others—and advised them.

Since Xu Hao could build high-tech products like the Doomsday Vehicle, the Transport Aircraft, and the Exoskeleton Mecha, there was definitely no problem with his technical knowledge.

That was why he had let Li Ping and the others follow by Xu Hao's side to learn something.

Hearing Professor Shen Hongcai talk about Xu Hao and mention Engineer Xu's strengths, the three of them—Li Ping and the others—nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, that's right, Professor Shen, you are absolutely right!"

Xu Jianshu swallowed a mouthful of rice and spoke hurriedly.

"At the beginning, we didn't take it to heart, but until now, we have finally understood the profound good intentions of you and the other two professors!!"

Xu Jianshu looked at Professor Shen Hongcai with burning eyes, filled with gratitude.

Li Ping and Jin Lexian were the same, nodding solemnly to Professor Shen Hongcai, their faces full of emotion.

Professor Shen Hongcai was stunned!

Holding a spoonful of rice to his mouth, he stared blankly at the three interns opposite him.

Professor Shen Hongcai: "???"
