56: Chapter 56 Professor Shen: You found out again?

Professor Shen Hongcai was stunned.

What was going on?!

Why did they all look so moved and grateful?

And what did they mean by "well-intentioned"?

Professor Shen Hongcai stopped eating the rice on his spoon and looked at Li Ping and the others, completely bewildered.

"What are you all talking about? Your mouths are running, but I don't understand a single word!"

Had he grown old and useless?

He hadn't understood a single thing Li Ping and the others were saying.

Xu Jianshu and the other two exchanged glances and nodded, silently acknowledging the situation.

Pretend! Keep pretending!

Even though the matter had been exposed and everyone understood, Professor Shen was still pretending.

Sigh, the professor had been looking out for them all along!

The three of them were deeply moved.

Having such a professor was truly a blessing they had cultivated for eight lifetimes.

However, since things had come to this, they felt Professor Shen didn't need to hide it anymore, as they all knew about the help the professor had secretly provided them.

"Professor Shen, no need to say anything more, we all know!" Xu Jianshu said to Professor Shen Hongcai.

It had to be said, Professor Shen's acting skills were quite good.

It was too realistic.

If they hadn't known the truth, they would have been kept in the dark by Professor Shen and the others.

If that had happened, they would likely have harbored resentment toward Professor Shen and the others.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario hadn't happened.

Engineer Xu had inadvertently revealed the truth, which allowed them to understand everything.

Professor Shen was genuinely good to them and valued them immensely.

"Wait, you know? How do you know again?"

Professor Shen Hongcai became anxious.

Why did young people nowadays like to speak in riddles?

Were they bullying an old man because his brain didn't turn fast enough?

Coming to deceive him, to ambush him?

He had no idea what these interns were talking about from start to finish.

How could they turn around and tell him to stop pretending?

What was he pretending about?

And "you all know"...

What exactly did they know? They should just say it.

Hearing Professor Shen Hongcai's counter-question, Li Ping and the others exchanged a smile.

The professor finally couldn't hide it anymore, right?

"Professor Shen, isn't it about the mecha? We all know!"

Xu Jianshu raised his head and said with a somewhat proud smile.

Professor Shen still wanted to keep hiding it and not tell them, but fortunately, they all knew now.

However, everything Professor Shen did was for their own good.

They must remember this kindness!

Professor Shen Hongcai: "Mecha?"

He was stunned for a moment.

"Mm-hmm!" Jin Lexian nodded, his face showing a little excitement and gratitude.

Professor Shen had finally admitted it.

That made sense; the mecha was a cutting-edge research project, so being careful was appropriate.

But since they already knew, being this cautious was just Professor Shen being overly prudent.

Xu Jianshu sat up straight, looked at Professor Shen, and then continued:

"Professor Shen, actually, you don't have to be like this."

"We know you are considerate of our feelings and might think that for various reasons, we wouldn't come here to Engineer Xu's side to research and study."

"But the current learning environment is not like it used to be. If you speak openly, we will definitely understand. As long as we can learn knowledge and technology, where can't we conduct research?"

"Sigh, if you had told us all this earlier, we wouldn't have wasted so many learning opportunities for nothing..."

Xu Jianshu was heartbroken, a look of regret appearing on his face.

In the first few days after arriving at Engineer Xu's production line, they didn't know the truth and thought the professor had them follow Xu Hao simply to cooperate with him to complete tasks assigned by superiors.

They were unwilling and their attitude wasn't very serious.

They even thought Engineer Xu was just an entrepreneur with the empty title of chairman and no real technical skills.

Therefore, although they seriously completed the tasks assigned by Xu Hao, they didn't research or learn the technology inside too much.

Who would want to seriously learn excavator technology?

Who would have thought that what they were researching and building was actually a mecha!

Consequently, they missed many learning opportunities.

Thinking back now, they were extremely regretful!

If only they had realized it sooner, how good that would have been!

In that case, they could have learned more technology and knowledge from Engineer Xu.

Professor Shen Hongcai didn't listen to Xu Jianshu's complaints in detail at all; he only grasped his very first sentence: Mecha!

He looked at Xu Jianshu and the other two in shock, an expression of disbelief washing over his face.

"You are building a mecha with Xu Hao?!"

Professor Shen Hongcai put down his spoon, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the three of them with wide eyes.

He had only heard that Xu Hao had opened a new production line and was preparing to develop something new.

But he never knew that the new thing Xu Hao was researching was a mecha.

That is to say...

For this period of time, Xu Hao had been tinkering with a mecha project with these three interns?

Professor Shen Hongcai suddenly couldn't sit still!

A mecha!

This was a technological product that countless people dreamed of; Xu Hao was actually able to build it.

Professor Shen Hongcai made a move to have Li Ping and the others take him to the workshop to see.

But on second thought, he came to his senses.

"No!"

He furrowed his brows.

He calmed the urgent feeling in his heart.

Calm down, calm down.

A mecha is a combination of industrial products.

Xu Hao could build it with three interns from the Dragon Academy of Sciences?

That wasn't realistic, and it wasn't possible!

Thinking of this, Professor Shen Hongcai gradually calmed down.

Sigh... He had just been so excited when he heard Xu Jianshu say they were building a mecha.

Professor Shen Hongcai shook his head helplessly.

He was really too high-strung, reflexively thinking that Xu Hao was researching a mecha.

This thing wasn't so easy to research and build!

The mecha Xu Jianshu and the others were talking about was probably the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha.

That was right; he hadn't told them before that the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha was independently researched and designed by Xu Hao.

It was inevitable that they would be so surprised and excited now.

Thinking of this, Professor Shen Hongcai's mood returned to calm.

It was just a Powered Exoskeleton Mecha; they were also researching it now and were in the middle of a comprehensive system upgrade.

Professor Shen Hongcai scooped up another mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth, chewing unhurriedly, and then said to Li Ping and the three of them:

"Mm-hmm, Engineer Xu indeed has considerable accomplishments in the field of Powered Exoskeleton Mecha. You should observe, learn, and take notes more while you are by his side."

"Engineer Xu is broad-minded and possesses both integrity and ability. If you encounter places you don't understand, you can ask him for advice more often."

"Don't think that just because you are from the Dragon Academy of Sciences, you are superior to others. In terms of Exoskeleton Mecha, very few people can compare to Engineer Xu's professional knowledge and technology."

Professor Shen Hongcai lectured.

However...

Hearing Professor Shen Hongcai's words, Xu Jianshu and the other two were also stunned.

Xu Jianshu: "???"

Exoskeleton Mecha? Where did an Exoskeleton Mecha come from?

Xu Jianshu said: "Professor Shen, where did an Exoskeleton Mecha come from? Isn't it a humanoid Gundam, a surreal sci-fi mecha? What are you talking about?"
