605: Chapter 604 Why would cutting-edge technology serve ordinary people? It's unrealistic.

After arriving at the five-star hotel arranged for him by Huachen Technology, Xiao Chen helped Professor Disser check in.

"Professor, your room is on the top floor, where you can overlook the night view of the entire Huangpu River. I will come to pick you up at nine tomorrow morning to report to the research institute. You can have a good rest today."

"Alright, thank you." Professor Disser responded.

But Professor Disser did not rest immediately.

He needed answers; he needed to verify some things with his own eyes.

Professor Disser changed into casual clothes and left the hotel alone, everything around him constantly challenging his perception.

He passed by a roadside park and saw a group of old men wearing Exoskeleton Armor, excitedly engaging in an arm-wrestling competition.

The armor's power-assist system allowed them to unleash strength even more terrifying than that of professional arm-wrestlers, drawing laughter from those around them.

Everything here seemed so harmonious, so beautiful, and so... unreal.

Professor Disser felt his brain was in some chaos.

This was completely different from the world of "Huaxia Hell"—filled with oppression, despair, and suffering—that Pope Smith had depicted to them before he came.

He found a bench by the roadside and sat down, trying to organize his chaotic thoughts.

Just then, the old man who had won the arm-wrestling match in the park sat down on the bench next to him.

"H-hello!" Professor Disser asked tentatively in somewhat broken Huaxia language: "Excuse... excuse me, is this... this thing expensive?"

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the Kunlun Armor on the old man's body.

The old man was stunned for a moment. Seeing Professor Disser's appearance and accent, he immediately realized he was a foreigner and smiled, switching his language mode.

"Hello there, foreign friend."

The simultaneous interpretation system built into the Kunlun Armor immediately translated his words into standard Eagle language, clearly reaching Professor Disser's ears.

"You mean this? It's not expensive, not expensive at all." The old man waved his hand, "The state provides subsidies, and we only need to pay about ten thousand yuan ourselves. You can buy it if you win the lottery."

"It's much cheaper than buying a small car used to be." The old man added.

"Lottery?" Professor Disser felt puzzled by this term.

"Yes!" The old man seemed very talkative. Seeing his interest, he enthusiastically explained, "This is a rare item right now; everyone wants one, but the factory's production capacity can't keep up yet. So, to be fair, we have to use a lottery system. Whoever wins the lottery gets to buy it first. It's honest and fair!"

The old man patted his chest armor, making a "thump-thump" sound.

"But don't worry, I heard on the news that the production will increase several times next year. By then, I guess there won't be a need for a lottery, and everyone will be able to wear one."

"Then... how does it feel to wear this?" Professor Disser asked, wanting to know the real feelings of ordinary people.

"It feels great!" The old man slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Let me tell you, with my old bones, let alone running, I used to be out of breath just climbing to the third floor. Now, wearing this thing, would you believe that I can climb to the twentieth floor in one breath without getting tired!"

The old man's words stunned Professor Disser.

He had never imagined that such cutting-edge technology was actually used to improve the quality of life for ordinary people, even the elderly.

This was something that would absolutely never happen in the Eagle Sauce of the past.
