59: Chapter 59 needs to be discussed properly!

After speaking, Professor Shen Hongcai reached out to carefully examine these modules, studying them earnestly.

However... the more closely he looked, the more astonished he became.

The structural design of these mecha modules was extremely complex, yet remarkably ingenious.

Each module was a standalone system, yet when combined, they formed an inseparable whole.

And this... was the core that drove the entire mecha!

A mecha is a highly complex composite.

It needed to possess super-strong armored defense like a tank, as well as long-range fire support like a remote rocket launcher.

Beyond that, it also required an intelligent control system, flexible joint mechanisms, and so on.

Both the structure and the systems were extremely complex.

Yet, Xu Hao had actually managed to solve all of this!!

Upon realizing this, Professor Shen Hongcai took a deep breath, his eyes flickering slightly.

Xu Hao's level of scientific research was likely even more formidable than they had imagined!

Thinking of Xu Hao, he suddenly realized that he hadn't seen him this whole time.

Involuntarily, he looked around the mecha workshop.

Xu Hao was not there.

With a puzzled expression, Professor Shen Hongcai looked at Xu Jianshu and the others, asking: "Where is Engineer Xu? Why don't I see him?"

He had been in the workshop for a while now, yet he hadn't seen a trace of Xu Hao.

Why wasn't he in the workshop at this time?

Weren't they supposed to be doing assembly and testing?

"Oh, Engineer Xu said he had to go meet someone and would be back later. He told us to do the assembly and testing ourselves, and he'll come by to check later," Xu Jianshu replied, his tone indifferent.

Engineer Xu had already taught them everything that needed to be taught.

He had even personally explained many of the technologies to them.

Although their theoretical knowledge and technical skills couldn't compare to Engineer Xu's, they were more than capable of handling the assembly and testing.

Professor Shen Hongcai was stunned.

Letting them assemble and test it alone?

This was a mecha!

The core technologies and designs within it were the kind of things that would be snatched up if they were ever released to the public.

Xu Hao actually let three interns handle the assembly and testing on their own?

Professor Shen Hongcai was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Xu Hao's heart... was truly massive!!

If anyone else had developed a mecha, they would be as cautious as possible.

But he, on the other hand, didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

It was as if the things produced by this assembly line were just ordinary products.

However... it seemed they had previously thought that the new assembly line Xu Hao set up wouldn't produce anything new, just some ordinary research and development.

But now... Professor Shen Hongcai looked at the mecha modules in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Seeing him staring blankly at the mecha modules, Xu Jianshu spoke up again: "Professor Shen, I wonder which professor from the Dragon Academy of Sciences proposed the project for the design and construction of this mecha?"

"I must say, this professor has truly incredible strategic foresight!!" Xu Jianshu praised.

Although Xu Hao had been leading them in the design and construction of the mecha modules for the past few days, and they had even broken through several new technologies in the process.

Xu Jianshu still believed that the mecha project plan and the design blueprints must have been provided by the Dragon Academy of Sciences.

Engineer Xu was mostly acting as the leader for this project.

He acknowledged Engineer Xu's technical skills, but as for independently proposing the mecha project and designing the blueprints all by himself... He felt... the possibility wasn't very high...

Or rather, the state wanted to let the Dragon Academy of Sciences take the lead to help Xu's Heavy Industry independently develop a large-scale project, so that Xu's Heavy Industry could secure its reputation as a state-owned enterprise.

Otherwise, the Xu's Heavy Industry brand alone wouldn't be enough to convince the general public or other enterprises.

Xu's Heavy Industry's foundation was too thin.

It started by building excavators and large agricultural machinery.

Its market scale used to be decent.

But as other large heavy industry enterprises grew bigger and bigger, Xu's Heavy Industry's competitiveness dropped sharply.

If they only relied on Xu's Heavy Industry's current strength, even with state capital injection and takeover, it wouldn't be a long-term solution.

Only by developing the technology they ought to have and making a name for themselves nationwide and even worldwide, could Xu's Heavy Industry's development get on the right track and bring more positive impact to the Dragon Country.

Xu Jianshu was very certain about this conjecture in his heart.

However, as an intern at the Dragon Academy of Sciences, he still wanted to know which Old Professor had proposed this project.

So, taking advantage of Engineer Xu's absence, he seized the opportunity to ask Professor Shen Hongcai.

Professor Shen Hongcai had thought Xu Jianshu was going to ask some technical questions.

Who would have thought it would be a question like this!

He instantly couldn't take it!!

This kid!

Why bring up a sore subject?!

Talking about a mecha project proposed by an Old Professor from the Dragon Academy of Sciences...

If this had been proposed by the Dragon Academy of Sciences, would it even be their turn as interns to participate in the R&D?

I'm afraid those old fogies in Longdu would all be fighting to participate.

Professor Shen Hongcai held back a belly full of anger, but due to his position, he couldn't do anything to these students.

He could only swallow his anger and said indignantly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't! Focusing earnestly on research is what you should be doing right now!!"

Xu Jianshu immediately stopped asking, rubbed his nose awkwardly, and then stood to the side without saying another word.

It seems the higher-ups must have given instructions; even Professor Shen didn't dare to say much...

To be honest, he really wanted to meet the Old Professor who proposed the mecha project and provided the design blueprints.

How incredible!!

Professor Shen Hongcai didn't know what they were thinking.

His mind was now entirely on Xu Hao and the mecha.

They had been careless!

A while ago, he heard Old Cao say that Xu Hao had built a new production line.

They had assumed that Xu Hao was just picking up his old trade, reviving the previous production lines at Xu's Heavy Industry to continue building excavators, agricultural machinery, and so on.

After all, state-owned enterprises needed to eat too.

Now that Xu's Heavy Industry was back in business, it was time to take some orders.

Who would have known!

From the very beginning, Xu Hao hadn't been thinking about building excavators at all.

He had specifically opened the production line to build a mecha!!

What kind of situation was this?

They old fogies had been staying in the Research Institute, busy upgrading and modifying the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha.

Meanwhile, over here, Xu Hao was building a workshop, opening a new production line, and taking three interns to build a mecha!

The difference... was truly massive!!

Professor Shen Hongcai felt very regretful now.

Back then, he should have had a proper talk with Xu Hao to ask what the production line was for.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have caused such a huge misunderstanding as they had now.

A mecha!!

The cutting-edge technology and research value inside it were immense.

As a result, they had missed out on it!!

"No! I must have a serious talk with Xu Hao!!" Professor Shen Hongcai thought, his expression determined after a moment of contemplation.

Every time Xu Hao produced a new product, it gave them a shock.

Last time it was the Doomsday Vehicle, the military Transport Aircraft, and the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha.

Now it was a mecha!!

If this happened a few more times, their hearts wouldn't be able to take it.

He needed to communicate with him, to let him know that next time he worked on something new, he should tell them, so that they old fogies would have some idea of what to expect.

Otherwise, it was just too terrifying!!

After finishing his thought, regardless of Xu Jianshu and the others standing nearby, he made a move to go out and find Xu Hao.

And just at that moment, the phone in his pocket rang...
