57: Chapter 57 Professor Shen is stunned! Surreal sci-fi mecha?

Professor Shen Hongcai had not even finished his mouthful of rice when he heard Xu Jianshu's words, and he was instantly stunned again.

Professor Shen Hongcai: "???"

What did he just hear?

A surreal sci-fi mecha?!

Wasn't it supposed to be a Powered Exoskeleton Mecha? How did it turn into a large-scale surreal mecha?

What is going on!

Professor Shen Hongcai didn't know what to say for a moment.

He struggled to swallow the mouthful of rice in his mouth, then stared blankly at Xu Jianshu.

"What did you just say? You are building a large-scale mecha?"

Professor Shen Hongcai pushed his rice bowl aside and looked at Xu Jianshu with a shocked expression, trying to find a hint of a 'joking' expression on his face.

However, to Professor Shen Hongcai's 'disappointment', apart from some confusion, there was no other emotion on Xu Jianshu's face.

The reason Xu Jianshu felt confused was that he saw Professor Shen's excessive reaction.

He couldn't help but wonder, at this point, is Professor Shen still pretending? That shouldn't be it...

He muttered to himself, not knowing what to say.

However, Professor Shen Hongcai had no idea what Xu Jianshu was thinking at that moment, nor did he care about the expression on his face. Instead, he looked at him with a serious and earnest expression and asked:

"Tell me honestly, what exactly have you been researching during this time?"

"Don't play riddles with me, tell the truth!!" Professor Shen Hongcai added.

These little brats; if he didn't show them who was boss, they would just keep playing riddles with him later.

Seeing Professor Shen Hongcai suddenly become so serious, the three of them—Xu Jianshu and the others—felt a little nervous.

Jin Lexian opened his mouth and tentatively said: "Gun... Gundam! It's a large-scale surreal sci-fi mecha!"

Jin Lexian was confused inside. Didn't the professor already know? Why does he look so shocked now? Could it be that Professor Shen doesn't know? That shouldn't be right...

Xu Jianshu took over from Jin Lexian and continued to explain: "Some time ago, under the leadership of Engineer Xu, we were working on the mecha's inner core system, skeletal system, master control system, and operating system."

"Today we finally finished these terminal systems and are currently performing assembly and debugging."

"According to Engineer Xu's theoretical research, if there are no problems with the assembly and debugging, this surreal sci-fi mecha will be able to perform long-term deep-water operations and work continuously in high-risk environments."

"Of course, on the battlefield, such a mecha will also demonstrate extraordinary combat performance."

Xu Jianshu, immersed in the explanation of the mecha, took a sip of soup and continued:

"According to the theoretical research data provided by Engineer Xu, the built mecha will have higher flexibility and mobility than a tank. As long as the armor can defend against large-caliber anti-materiel firearms and machine gun attacks, given the agility of the mecha we've built, the rotation speed of a tank turret alone would be completely unable to hit it."

"These are all blueprints and theoretical research provided by Engineer Xu. To be honest, when we saw them, we were startled by Engineer Xu's boldness and innovation, but after testing, they all seem feasible."

"In the future, as long as there is a breakthrough in materials, the application range of surreal sci-fi mecha will become increasingly widespread."

Xu Jianshu pumped his fist, his heart surging with excitement; he couldn't wait to build the mecha immediately to see its real combat effectiveness.

Engineer Xu told them that in the long run, future wars will inevitably be large-scale wars between space battleships.

In the future, when different types of mecha appear, such as air combat types, hover types, etc., mecha will be able to engage in direct space combat.

As long as the mecha breaks into the enemy battleship, it will largely determine the fate of the battleship. And this will directly change the outcome of the battle!

After a while, he calmed his excitement, then looked at Professor Shen Hongcai and asked in confusion:

"Professor Shen, Engineer Xu's theoretical knowledge and professional skills are both very impressive. Why not recruit him into the Dragon Academy of Sciences?"

To be honest, Xu Jianshu felt that with the level Engineer Xu has displayed, he would be more than qualified to be a professor at the Dragon Academy of Sciences. He has all sorts of theoretical knowledge at his fingertips.

The independently developed mecha construction technology alone is something that ordinary scientific research personnel cannot achieve.

Therefore, he was very confused as to why Professor Shen and the others didn't invite Engineer Xu to join the Dragon Academy of Sciences. Such an excellent talent, just letting him be the chairman of Xu's Heavy Industry?

With his talent, he will definitely be able to shine in the scientific research industry in the future and make great contributions to the scientific development of the Dragon Kingdom.

Professor Shen Hongcai had no intention of answering Xu Jianshu's question. He was now completely stunned by Xu Jianshu's answer.

The new production line Xu Hao opened was actually researching mecha!! And it wasn't the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha he had thought, but a real surreal sci-fi mecha!!

Professor Shen Hongcai was truly shocked. At the same time, he stared blankly at the three interns, including Xu Jianshu, and a strange emotion welled up inside him.

Thinking that they, the Old Professors, were only researching the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha and making comprehensive upgrades to improve its performance, while these few interns... had already participated in the research and development of future mecha.

How painful!! Why weren't they the ones following Xu Hao to research mecha!

The Gundam in Xu Hao's workshop... no! Future mecha research has a much higher scientific research value than the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha they are currently upgrading and modifying.

Any single system taken out of the surreal sci-fi mecha would be enough to rival the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha—no! It could be said to completely crush it.

Even more, the technology and professional knowledge within it are things that many universities and Research Institutes at home and abroad have not yet touched upon. If they could participate in the research, it would undoubtedly open up a whole new field of study.

The scientific research value in this is simply unimaginable. Thinking of this, Professor Shen Hongcai felt even more aggrieved. The rice in his bowl instantly became tasteless.

"No! I must go and see!" Professor Shen Hongcai thought to himself, feeling ruthless. Since he knew that Xu Hao was researching future surreal sci-fi mecha, he had to go and take a look, no matter what.

"Are you finished eating?" Professor Shen Hongcai suddenly asked.

The three of them, including Xu Jianshu, were stunned for a moment. "No... not yet..." They looked at Professor Shen with confused faces, not knowing what he was going to do.

"No! You are finished!" Professor Shen Hongcai said, then spoke again: "Let's go! Take me to your mecha research lab!!"

Professor Shen Hongcai said in an unquestionable tone.

"Huh?" Li Ping was stunned, and Jin Lexian and Xu Jianshu were also full of confusion. "Professor Shen, don't you already know? Why do you still want to go see it?" "Besides, we only officially started assembly and debugging today, and there are still many procedures that haven't been completed!!" Xu Jianshu hurriedly tried to decline.

"Enough nonsense! If I tell you to take me, take me!" Professor Shen Hongcai stood up and walked straight outside.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!" Professor Shen Hongcai turned back to look at the three people sitting there, frowned, and commanded. Seeing this, the three of them shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into their mouths and immediately stood up.
