62: Chapter 62 Is the Mech Workshop Still Needing Staff?

President Tang Minghui was dumbfounded, frozen in place!

He had traveled all this way to Xu's Heavy Industry, and before a partnership could even be discussed, he was about to be investigated?

Where was he supposed to go to reason this out...

He thought to himself:

"As expected of a state-owned enterprise, they threaten an investigation at the drop of a hat."

Professor Shen Hongcai and the others had no idea what he was thinking.

They knew that the mecha was a matter of great importance, and having it overheard by an outsider today could very well lead to unnecessary trouble.

For the sake of security, they absolutely had to have the comrades from the Security Department thoroughly investigate this person.

Thinking of this, the few of them exchanged glances, and Professor Shen Hongcai took out his phone and dialed the number for the Security Bureau.

"Hello, is this the Security Bureau? This is Professor Shen Hongcai from the Dragon Academy of Sciences!"

"There is someone here at Xu's Heavy Industry suspected of overhearing state secrets. You need to send people over immediately to investigate."

After finishing the call, Professor Shen Hongcai let out a slow sigh of relief.

With the comrades from the Security Bureau coming to investigate, there shouldn't be any issues.

However, President Tang Minghui, standing to the side, was shocked.

These... these old men, were they actually professors from the Dragon Academy of Sciences?!

He widened his eyes, looked at the few people in front of him carefully, and gasped.

No wonder they could enter Chairman Xu's office; it turned out they were professors from the Dragon Academy of Sciences.

That explained it!!

President Tang Minghui understood in his heart.

It was also at this moment that the office door opened once again!

Hearing the sound, the group instantly looked over.

As the door opened, Xu Hao, who was standing outside, was immediately stunned.

What was going on!!

He had only been gone for a short while, and suddenly there were so many people in the office?

Had they all planned this, showing up together?

Xu Hao smiled helplessly, led Director Guo Fan inside, and then asked Professor Shen Hongcai and the others:

"Professor Shen, why are you all here?"

Xu Hao was puzzled.

Shouldn't they be fully focused on upgrading and modifying the Exoskeleton Mecha during this time?

Why had they suddenly appeared in his office?

Had something gone wrong with the Exoskeleton Mecha?

Just as Xu Hao was about to ask again, Professor Shen Hongcai spoke up first:

"Engineer Xu, you've finally returned!"

Professor Shen Hongcai's face was eager.

Professor He Jianhua and Professor Cao Gang also stepped forward, looking at Xu Hao with excitement.

Xu Hao was confused.

What was wrong with Professor Shen and the others?

Why were they all acting like they were in such a rush to see him...

Ignoring the expression on his face, Professor Shen Hongcai asked anxiously:

"Engineer Xu, your mech..."

Halfway through the sentence, Professor Shen Hongcai immediately stopped.

He looked at Director Guo Fan, who was standing behind Xu Hao, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

That was close; he almost exposed the matter of the mecha again!!

Professor Shen Hongcai felt a lingering fear.

It was just a moment ago that he had accidentally let the information about the mecha slip, causing President Tang Minghui to overhear it.

He absolutely could not make such a mistake again!!

Professor He Jianhua and Professor Cao Gang, hearing Professor Shen Hongcai stop mid-sentence, instantly understood as well.

Taking a deep breath, they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

It was fortunate that old Shen had stopped in time; otherwise, they would have exposed state secrets again.

Xu Hao looked at the three of them, his brows slightly furrowed, his head full of questions.

What on earth was going on today?

Why were these professors acting so strangely...

Was the pressure of upgrading the Exoskeleton Mecha that high?

Seeing the confusion on Xu Hao's face, and then looking at the current state of the office, Professor Shen Hongcai realized this was not the place to talk.

He thought for a moment, then hurriedly pulled Xu Hao out of the office to find another room to talk in.

Before leaving, Professor Shen Hongcai paused, turned his head, looked at President Tang Minghui with a very serious expression, and demanded:

"Don't talk nonsense, just stay here quietly!"

President Tang Minghui felt aggrieved but could only nod silently.

The expression on his face was worse than crying.

Who could be more miserable than him?

He had only come to show goodwill and seek a partnership with Xu's Heavy Industry.

Now, things had turned out like this, and he was stuck with the label of 'suspected of eavesdropping on state secrets'.

Director Guo Fan, standing to the side, found it amusing and watched President Tang Minghui with interest.

Who was this person, and why did he look like such a pitiful child?

He looked like some company president, yet he had become so humble now?

He couldn't even speak...

Watching Xu Hao being pulled away by the old men, Director Guo Fan walked over to the sofa on his own, sat down, and waited quietly.

On the other side.

Professor Shen Hongcai and the two others pulled Xu Hao into another room and closed the door.

Only after ensuring there was no one else in the room did they eagerly ask Xu Hao:

"Engineer Xu, what is going on with that mecha? Why did you suddenly start building a mecha?"

Professor He Jianhua and Professor Cao Gang also nodded, looking at Xu Hao with curious expressions.

Xu Hao: "???"

He was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth: "Didn't I tell you guys?"

Xu Hao looked at Professor Shen Hongcai, then at Professor He Jianhua and Professor Cao Gang, with a puzzled look on his face.

Logically speaking, he should have told them.

Had he forgotten to?

Professor Shen Hongcai and the others: "???"

They looked at each other and all shook their heads.

"No, you never told us you were going to build a mecha!"

Professor Shen Hongcai replied.

His eyes were a bit resentful.

So you thought we all knew?

Xu Hao felt a bit awkward, rubbed his nose, and then smiled.

"Well, it's not too late to know now, haha..."

Xu Hao brushed it off.

Then, he explained to Professor Shen Hongcai and the others why he wanted to build a mecha.

"Professor Shen, Professor He, and Professor Cao, you should all be aware that the role of the Exoskeleton Mecha is more of an auxiliary tool for humans, and it has certain limitations in some special tasks."

"But large mechas are different!!"

"For example, in deep-water operations for extended periods, the human body might not be able to handle it, but a mecha can. As long as the energy supply is continuous and it receives regular maintenance, it can work for long periods without rest. This is its utility in certain roles."

"At the same time, on the future battlefield, mechas will also play a key role."

"Nowadays, the battlefield situation has changed; it is no longer the traditional 'human wave tactics' of the past. Now, it is mainly a comprehensive war led by informatization."

"The emergence of large mechas might change this situation and break the fixed patterns of warfare."

"..."

Xu Hao sat on the sofa, explaining the functions and benefits of the mecha to the three professors in detail.

At the same time, he also elaborated on relevant knowledge regarding the mecha and the construction plan.

"As you saw in the workshop, currently, only the initial system modules of the mecha have been built, and it is in the process of assembly and debugging."

"All of this is just the beginning. In the future, we still have a lot of work to continue."

"But no matter what, the mecha will definitely be built!!"

Xu Hao stated firmly.

He had long since digested the construction blueprints for the mecha and stored them in his mind.

Successfully building the mecha was only a matter of time.

Hearing this, Professor Shen Hongcai and the others were extremely excited.

With their eyes slightly shimmering, they hurriedly asked:

"Engineer Xu, are there still vacancies in the workshop?"

He looked at Xu Hao and added another sentence.

"Even helping out is fine; do you think we could?"

Hearing this, Xu Hao was stunned for a moment.

Xu Hao: "???"
