69: Chapter 69: Departure, Delivering Items to Guo Fan!

Another half a month passed after the initial successful testing of the mecha.

During this period.

After a brief rest, the group threw themselves back into the research and development of the mecha.

They buried themselves in the design and construction of the mecha every day, forgetting to eat and sleep. They would stay for an entire day, only heading out during off-peak hours to find something to eat when they were starving. After eating, they would immediately return to the mecha workshop to continue their research.

The other employees of Xu's Heavy Industry knew the chairman had opened a new workshop and production line. As for what exactly was being produced inside, no one knew.

They only saw the Old Professor sent by the Dragon Academy of Sciences and his interns entering the workshop every day. They would go in clean and come out covered in various oil stains, their hair a mess. Sometimes they wore happy smiles, and other times they looked dejected and exhausted.

For a while, everyone was extremely curious about what was being developed in that workshop.

However, despite this, no employee dared to set foot in that area.

Because one day, the workshop had been taken over by the Security Department and the military. It was under twenty-four-hour armed guard, and no one was allowed within ten meters of the new workshop.

Seeing this, even though the employees were curious, they could only leave in disappointment.

Xu Hao also stayed in the mecha workshop almost every day, but he was mostly answering questions for the professors and interns from the Dragon Academy of Sciences, as well as teaching some key technologies and theoretical knowledge.

The mecha's master control system, inner core system, and outer core system were almost complete; the rest would be much simpler.

Therefore, he was mainly responsible for the overall design and control of the mecha, acting as the leader.

Professor Shen Hongcai and the other professors from the Dragon Academy of Sciences were primarily responsible for construction, assembly, and debugging, building the mecha's major system modules according to the design blueprints.

Li Ping and the other interns were now mostly acting as assistants to the professors.

Even so, they were very happy. Even after their 'work' had been taken over, the professors hadn't sent them away. This was more than enough for them.

As long as they could stay in the mecha workshop and continue to work on mecha development, they were willing to do anything!

One day, after Xu Hao finished handling matters in the workshop, he left and returned to his office.

Opening the [MOSS Technology System], he saw that the exchange points in his inventory had risen to 100,000.

Xu Hao smiled. "Not bad. The exchange points are growing steadily. I believe it won't be long before I can exchange for another blueprint."

Inside the [future technology blueprint mall], there were still many high-tech product blueprints waiting for him to exchange.

Unfortunately, exchange points were truly hard to come by. Even if he built high-tech products under existing conditions, the system wouldn't mindlessly reward him with a large amount of points.

Instead, it issued exchange points based on periodic ratings of the products Xu Hao designed and built.

"The system hasn't triggered a random mission in a long time. It seems the probability of triggering one is very low if I always stay inside the factory area."

Xu Hao thought to himself.

Just as Xu Hao was thinking about how to trigger a system mission again, the phone in his pocket rang.

Xu Hao took it out and saw it was a call from Guo Fan.

"Hello, Director Guo."

Xu Hao picked up the phone and greeted him.

"Hello, Chairman Xu," Director Guo's voice came from the other end of the line.

After a few simple pleasantries, Director Guo went straight to the point.

"Chairman Xu, I know you're very busy, but have you forgotten something important?"

Director Guo asked tentatively, his tone weak.

He couldn't help it; the other party was the chairman of a state-owned enterprise.

Now, he was even more highly regarded by the Dragon Academy of Sciences and the Dragon Country officials.

He, on the other hand, was just a small-time film director, not even worth a glance.

He remembered when they first collaborated with Xu's Heavy Industry, the two of them were on equal footing, and Guo Fan Film Industry was even slightly superior to Xu's Heavy Industry.

He hadn't expected that in just a few months, their identities would undergo such earth-shattering changes.

It was truly a twist of fate.

But Director Guo was not a petty person.

On the contrary, he was more than happy to see Xu's Heavy Industry become so powerful.

Being able to cooperate with a state-owned enterprise at the peak of its momentum was a privilege other film companies didn't have.

Hearing Director Guo's words, Xu Hao rubbed the bridge of his nose, clearly having forgotten what Director Guo was talking about.

"Director Guo, just say it. I've been busy with another project lately, and with so much going on, I forgot."

On the other end of the phone, Director Guo had a 'just as I thought' expression.

Fortunately he called today, otherwise Chairman Xu would have forgotten the filming date for 'The Wandering Earth' again.

Thinking of this, he said directly:

"Chairman Xu, the outdoor filming for The Wandering Earth starts in two days. Regarding the props, what do you think..."

"Oh, that!" Xu Hao slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I really would have forgotten."

"Don't worry, the film props have already undergone inspection. Tomorrow, I'll send a small convoy to deliver them to your crew personally."

Xu Hao said.

Being busy with the mecha and the cooperation with Tangs Heavy Industry, he had almost forgotten about Director Guo's movie.

"Great, I'm relieved to hear that." Director Guo laughed. "Then I'll wait for your good news at the set. Until then!"

Director Guo hung up the phone contentedly, and Xu Hao immediately went to prepare the relevant matters.

He first gave Wang Qian a heads-up, saying he was going to deliver film props to Director Guo tomorrow.

Then he went to the workshop and told the professors from the Dragon Academy of Sciences about it, letting them take full responsibility for the mecha workshop for the next few days.

"Don't worry, Engineer Xu. We'll handle things; you can rest easy."

"Besides, you've already taught us everything you need to. If we still couldn't do it, we might as well strip ourselves of our titles as professors of the Dragon Academy of Sciences."

Professor Shen Hongcai laughed and guaranteed.

Xu Hao nodded and left.

The next day.

Xu Hao counted out 10 Doomsday Vehicles, 2 Transport Aircraft, and several Powered Exoskeleton Mechas, preparing to send them to Director Guo's crew.

He stood at the workshop entrance, planning to find a few employees to help with the delivery.

Just then, Zhu Deze, the deputy head of the Security Department, ran over.

"Engineer Xu, I heard you're delivering these pro... props to that movie crew?"

Zhu Deze said.

When he mentioned props, his expression was somewhat strange.

Only Engineer Xu would refer to these massive machines as props.

"Yes, they're about to start filming, so I need to get them over there as soon as possible."

Xu Hao replied.

"Engineer Xu, although these 'props' have passed official inspection and can be sent, they are still in the confidential stage and haven't been fully declassified."

"So, we will cooperate with you to deliver them this time!"

Zhu Deze said.

Hearing this, Xu Hao thought for a moment and then nodded. "No problem. I was just looking for people to deliver them; it's even better if you guys can come."

If Zhu Deze and the others could come, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Seeing this, Zhu Deze dispatched 10 law enforcement officers from the Security Department to go along.

At the same time, he called the mysterious unit stationed a hundred meters away and explained the situation.

Before long, they sent thirty officers and soldiers, as well as several armored vehicles, military transport trucks, and bulletproof jeeps, to Xu's Heavy Industry.

Seeing this, Xu Hao was stunned.

Huh? Sending so many people for protection?

Isn't this a bit of an overkill?

However, on second thought, considering the importance of these 'props', he felt it was understandable.

After these soldiers arrived, they brought military-green tarps and covered all the Doomsday Vehicles for protection.

The Powered Exoskeleton Mechas were loaded onto military transport trucks, with soldiers carrying live ammunition sitting in the truck beds, keeping a close guard.

The 2 A-225 Transport Aircraft were flown to Director Guo's set by professional military pilots.

Thus, the convoy was ready to go.

At the very front, an armored vehicle led the way, followed by a bulletproof jeep carrying Xu Hao and Zhu Deze.

Behind them was the orderly convoy of Doomsday Vehicles covered in military-green tarps.

Then came two military transport trucks carrying the Powered Exoskeleton Mechas.

At the very back were transport trucks full of soldiers and several armored vehicles loaded with ammunition.

As Xu Hao gave the order to depart.

The entire convoy, with its many soldiers, sophisticated equipment, and tight security, set off majestically toward Director Guo's film set.

At the same time.

At the recently completed military airport, two A-225 Transport Aircraft taxied across the ground and soared into the blue sky.
