The atmosphere in the underground warehouse suddenly became oppressive. Magnolia walked behind Xu Ledi. Look down at the news. Zhou Yudi's brows also furrowed. Jose sighed. The news screen was brought up. Xu happily looked away from his phone. Again it fell on the news screen. His eyes narrowed slightly. Silence all the time.

The crowd watched the news in silence. Scroll to play important news from the local federation. A replay of today's press conference of the Federal Academy of Sciences is being replayed.

In front of the dark blue ground stage background. Dean Lin, the leader of the federal academic community. He is waving his arms. Explain what is powerful. And as he explained the process. The three-dimensional beam screen behind him begins to convert. A lilac mech gradually condensed in the beam. Showing that intimidating and graceful figure.

Three-dimensional beam revariance. The new mech disintegrates into countless parts. Floats above the floor of the hall. It shows those advanced design concepts. In particular, the twin engines float in the middle of the streamline. It attracted everyone's attention.

At the press conference, countless cameras were pointed on the stage. The reporter was stunned and unable to ask questions. They all vaguely knew that the Federation was working on this revolutionary new mech. But I didn't know that the Academy of Sciences had quietly succeeded in developing it. They knew better than the general public that this twin-engine design was a new mech. What glory it will bring to the Commonwealth.

"It's a Shinchi era. One belongs to the MX era. Dean Lin propped his hands on the news desk. With a very majestic gaze, he glanced around faintly. Said slowly.

With his words, he landed. New mech parts scattered around the three-dimensional beam screen. Begin to converge towards the middle. This is accompanied by the sound of a pre-arranged metal assembly. The lilac new MX was reassembled. It glows faintly. At the same time, the blue background suddenly becomes soft like flowing water. Mercury fell like a fall!

A realistic purple streamlined MX mech appears in front of everyone's eyes. It gradually merges with the mecha in the three-dimensional beam screen. Then the beam disperses. Only the seven-meter-tall new mecha was left indifferently and proudly watching everyone on the ground at the press conference.

The rolling news is over. There was still silence in the basement of the Fruit Shell Engineering Department. An oppressive atmosphere hung over everyone's heads. Director José's face turned pale. Xu Le lowered his head.

Zhou Yu clenched his fists tightly. Secretary Bai tilted his head and looked. Only Major Lan Xiaolong didn't quite understand why these people were as depressed as if they had suddenly been drained of their strength.

A white MX mech is fixed on the wall of the isolation area. It's not assembled yet. Three heavy robotic arms are slowly adjusting. The white mecha ground fuselage is slightly tilted to one side. It's like watching the news in a daze. Even it doesn't understand itself. Why did the guy on the light screen who was like a purple goblin give birth before himself?

The Federal Academy of Sciences preemptively pronounced a verdict on what it means to successfully develop the MX mech. No one knows better than these few people in the room. This means that Fruit Shell Mobile has been working hard for ten years. All made wedding dresses for the Federal Academy of Sciences. It means the hard work of countless engineers. Once turned into a phantom.

For Xu Le. means more. For example, Professor Shen. Presidential election. Shamelessly, people stood behind him, and Magnolia looked at him with complicated eyes. Suddenly, he asked Zhou Yu a few words softly. Zhou Yu shook his head.

The engineering department leaked information. This was after the Kaoru Affair arrest. It has been clearly determined. However, the most suspicious is Director Hao. It was transferred long before it happened. In a sense. The senior executive acts. It is tantamount to betraying the Tai family. also betrayed the Shell Engineering Department. It's just that this kind of senior executive also has his own background. If it was really him. Now another big tree has been climbed. The Confederation is a place of manners. It is impossible for the Tai family to pull the supervisor out and kill him directly. There were no clues about the gunman's escape from the spaceship. So it's critical. Now it's the MX mech ground development speed. The Shell Engineering Department and Xu Le did not allow failure. However, the Academy of Sciences preemptively declared it a success.

Xu Le thought of the pressure that Vice Minister Zou showed on the phone. Said that sentence. Know that you can't lose. He lowered his head and rubbed his unkempt hair vigorously. Put your feet on the chair. No comments were made.

Meanwhile. Not far from this spare warehouse is in the Shell Engineering Department. The atmosphere has also become extremely eerie. More than 200 of the company's top engineering personnel. Silently stared at the large light screen on the ceiling. Looking at the press conference of the Federal Academy of Sciences above. A feeling of disappointment and frustration. Fill the air. A long time has passed. Still no one spoke. Busy with a lot of days and days of work. It also came to a temporary standstill.

There is only one female engineer with cute round glasses. Curious, he stood up with his eyes open. Staring at the graceful and murderous lilac mech on the news screen. Compare it with the general map of the MX mecha in your workbench. I found some different places. And further from these different places. I noticed something odd.

Director Jose is well aware. The reason why Xu Le is willing to cooperate with the engineering department. It's because this young man has a kind of attachment. I don't want Professor Shen to research on his research results. Viciously seized by those academic bureaucrats. He also knew how much effort Xu Le had put into this new mecha. A lot of sleepless days and nights. It's all about it.

Look at the back that is a little depressed. He couldn't help but be a little worried. This young genius will not have a hard time accepting this result. It's just that his mood is also unusually cold at this time. I just want to comfort the other person. I couldn't find any words.

Just when everyone thought that Xu Le was going to collapse. He looked up slowly. He turned to look at the crowd and smiled. Not that wry sneer. It's like the sun. The eyes are squinted like a beautiful moon in the night. White teeth that are exposed outside the lips. It's as clean as the snow on the seafront.

"What are you doing in a daze? The Federal Academy of Sciences is the pinnacle of academic institutions. Do you think they have worse technical reserves than we do? So you should be born to be behind us?" Xu Le stood up. Stretched. Said with a smile: "They have declared success. So we can't be stunned. You have to get the job done quickly. ”

It's too normal a reaction. On the contrary, it made everyone feel that Xu Le had become a little abnormal under this impact. Director Jose said with a wry smile in a hoarse voice, "You also know that they are of a higher level. They got ahead of us. What we're doing has become meaningless. To know. There can only be one standard for the new generation of mechs. ”

In those moments when I bowed my head before. Xu Le thought about a lot of things. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter. I have a mature design scheme under the personal guidance of Professor Shen. And he himself has not deliberately slowed down the development of the engineering department. Even if the data is leaked. The Academy of Sciences could not have been faster than the Ministry of Engineering.

That rainy night. The other party's last attempt to stop the development of the Fruit Shell Engineering Department failed. And if Director Tai really revealed part of the progress and information of the engineering department. The Academy of Sciences must be feeling the pressure like never before. Stress can sometimes be the motivator. But it can also make the person in charge anxious. Just like Director Jose at this time.

Xu Le was more and more sure. The Federal Academy of Sciences must not have completed sufficiently internal testing. And so it goes. The other party is less likely to find themselves doing something in the core data.

So he didn't panic. He was even a little glad that something happened on that rainy night and that Director Hao leaked the secret. Not so. He really didn't have the confidence that he could fool the other party with those fake data.

"This is a unilateral press conference of the Academy of Sciences. The federal government may not know about it. Maybe that Dean Lin wanted to create the established facts. But the problem is that we're also fast. How is it possible that the government does not think about our side?"

He smiled and said, "This press conference was beautifully done. But I always had a feeling. The more powerful they are at this time. The more embarrassing it will be in the future. ”

No one understands this. But they looked at Xu Le's smiling face. Somehow. Suddenly there was a little more faith in my heart.

In a small conference room on the top floor of the Ministry of National Defense Building of the Capital Special Administrative Region. A voice came. The owner of the voice is Mr. Sieg, President of the Geographical Science Advisor. He looked at the big names around the round table. He frowned and said, "What the hell is going on over there at the Academy of Sciences? Mr. President doesn't know about this. So they held a press conference. If the experiment fails again in the future, as last fall. Who's going to explain to the people of the Federation what the Empire is going to think of us?"

This scientific consultant has a good relationship with Zou Yingxingdi. once attended the funeral of Professor Shen Lao. Say something like this at this point. Nature represents an attitude in a certain way. However sits at the very center the National Security Adviser to the President. But he said disapprovingly: "Since the Academy of Sciences dares to develop a conference. Nature is confidence. As for the testing aspect. There is a lesson in the husk land. They must have been careful. ”

Zou Yingxing sat quietly in the corner of the round table. A meeting at the highest level of the federation like this. In the past, it was usually held at the President's residence. Today, it's because we're talking about the new MX mech. put it in the Ministry of Defense. He was Deputy Minister of Defence. On such occasions, it is not a very important person. Few speakers have been made in previous meetings. But today I don't know why. He looked at the documents of the Academy of Geosciences in his hand. Remind everyone in a low voice: "The development of the engineering department is also nearing the end."

The national security adviser unceremoniously interrupted him. He said sharply: "How much money has the Federation wasted in the past 10 years? As a result, last year they only made one explosive waste! Even if they succeeded in developing it this time? Could it be that the two standards of the Federation's new generation of mecha coexist? What will be the future equipping troops? Which standard is it to be carried out?"

President Sieg was also visiting Southern Kora at this time. The highest-ranking person in this meeting is, of course, the national security adviser. The big man was so clear and dissatisfied. Let the officials who participated in the meeting think that Zou Yingxing should be as silent as before.

And yet at this very moment. Vice Minister Zou, who is usually low-key, took off his glasses. Thrown on the table. Meet the eyes of the National Security Advisor. Leng Leng said: "Of course which standard is better." Use whichever to use. ”
