Lu Jianlin took Zi Yi and Lu Jingye to the weaponry vault on one of the large ships.
There were several kinds of weapons stored and all of which were the kind that had explosive firepower.
After Zi Yi came in, she did not even wait for Lu Jianlin to introduce the weapons and immediately called out. “Shadow II.”
Shadow II appeared out of thin air.
“Master, what orders do you have?”
“Test the performance of all the weapons and evaluate the firepower.”
“Scanning started…
Testing in progress…”
Even though Lu Jianlin knew that Zi Yi was extremely talented in robotics, he was still surprised when he saw such an advanced robot.
“Where did Little Zi’s robot come from?”
“She made them herself.”
After Lu Jingye gave him an answer, Lu Jianlin furrowed his brow.
Sometime later, he said, “She’s too high-profile.”
Lu Jingye looked at the little girl who seemed to be radiating a halo and the corner of his lips curved up as he said confidently, “As long as she likes it, it doesn’t matter how high-profile she is.”
He would do everything he can to let her act as she pleased.
Lu Jianlin’s frown tightened and he said sternly, “Don’t you dare fool around.”
Lu Jingye said, “I won’t.”
He had all sorts of methods to protect his wife, so why would he fool around?
Lu Jianlin looked at his eldest son who was supposedly mature and steady in his way of doing things. However, he had changed for the sake of a woman and he felt somewhat complicated emotions deep down.
Even so, he did not continue to say anything else.
Shadow II only took ten minutes to finish scanning and testing all the weapons here.
Zi Yi looked at the statistics of the weapons and turned to Lu Jianlin. “Dad, I need the following tools…”
Lu Jianlin nodded his head and turned around as he headed off.
Lu Jingye walked to Zi Yi’s side and asked, “Yiyi, can I help you with anything?”
Zi Yi thought about it and said, “I’ll tell you later.”
Lu Jianlin soon returned with the tools Zi Yi requested for.
Zi Yi opened the virtual screen and quickly swiped around. Sometime later, she said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, I’ll explain and you shall cooperate with Shadow II.”
Lu Jingye had the option not to do it, but Zi Yi had the heart to make him learn more knowledge about future technology.
Lu Jingye rolled his sleeves up to his elbows and said, “Alright. ”
Lu Jianlin who was standing by the side suddenly realized that he was supposed to be the strategist, but there was no room for him to step in when the two young people modified the weapons.
Many of the special terms Zi Yi mentioned were unheard of by him. There were many times when he felt that his eldest son had removed the wrong parts, but the very next second, he would sigh and think to himself, “So that’s the case.”
When Leader Tang came in, he saw the two young people who were currently busy with the modification, and Lu Jianlin standing by the side who had complicated emotions.
Lu Jianlin had immediately noticed Leader Tang’s arrival and his mood was even more complicated.
His daughter-in-law was so capable and could the higher-ups force her to do something she does not wish to?
Leader Tang walked over to his side and subconsciously lowered his voice. “How are the modifications progressing?”
“I don’t know.”
“…?”
Leader Tang was a little surprised. He shifted his gaze to the virtual screen in front of Zi Yi and sighed. “To think that Little Zi has such advanced equipment. Is she using 6G?”
Lu Jianlin inexplicably raised his guard. Sure enough, he was right when he said that it was not good for his daughter-in-law to be too high-profile.
Leader Tang seemed to have noticed Lu Jianlin’s thoughts and said with a smile, “Comrade Lu Jianlin, there’s no need to worry. If Little Zi does not wish to take out these technologies, we will not force her.”
Lu Jianlin was not comforted by his words.
However, he still gave him a nod.
The two of them no longer had anything to talk about and they kept their eyes glued on Zi Yi and Lu Jingye modifying the weapons.
Around two hours later, Zi Yi turned off the virtual screen and said, “The modifications are complete.”
Leader Tang nodded with a smile. “Since the modifications are done, when does Little Zi plan to set off?” Speaking of this, he added. “I’ll also set off with you.”
Lu Jianlin was surprised. “Comrade Tang, why are you going?”
He had a civilian post and what could he possibly do if he went together with them?
Leader Tang looked at Zi Yi. “I have faith in Little Zi’s capabilities. Moreover… I wish to see how powerful the modified weapon is.”
Lu Jianlin furrowed his brow and said, “They are going to confront pirates and they might not be able to accommodate Comrade Tang’s request.”
“I know, so I have already reported it to the higher-ups. Whatever happens during the trip will have nothing to do with them.”
Lu Jianlin was suddenly speechless.
Leader Tang looked at Zi Yi.
She said, “We’re setting off right now.”
“Little Zi, you…” Lu Jianlin was a little worried, but in the end, he only said a single sentence solemnly, “Pay attention to safety.”
Zi Yi nodded and said, “Dad, just wait to come home with us tomorrow morning.”
Someone must be here to take charge and even if Lu Jianlin was worried, he could not do anything.
Lu Jianlin said to Leader Tang, “We can set off now.”
Leader Tang nodded and said to them, “The commander of this ship is you, I’m just an accompanying member.”
Clearly, he had just handed over the command rights.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye did not refuse.
Lu Jingye commanded the crew to set sail.
Zi Yi started to make special modifications to the ship.
Some robots appeared out of thin air and directly headed for the important areas of the ship.
As the night fell, the sky in the south was particularly beautiful. Stars populated the entire skies as if it were an enchanting ink painting that was charming and mysterious.
The robots were like superheroes that shuttled both inside and outside the ship.
Leader Tang was surprised to see Zi Yi taking out a few circular balls and he asked what their uses were.
“All of them possess defensive capabilities.”
After Zi Yi answered, Leader Tang was silent for a moment before he asked, “Can it defend against a missile attack?”
“Yes.”
Leader Tang was shocked and excited at the same time.
If the defense system Zi Yi had was really that powerful, and the entire maritime ships were to possess the technology, the Country’s Navy fleet would become unparalleled.
At the thought of this, Leader Tang continued asking a few questions.
Zi Yi did not conceal anything from him.
When the ship had sailed for around an hour or so, Zi Yi, Lu Jingye, and Leader Tang stood on the deck and looked at the starry skies where the sea met the sky.
Leader Tang suddenly asked Zi Yi, “Little Zi, you are very gifted in the aspect of weaponry, and if the country offers you to join the weapons R&D team, I wonder if you would be interested?”
Leader Tang’s question caused the atmosphere to become serious.
Lu Jingye looked at Leader Tang and his jaw gradually became taut. At the same time, he held Zi Yi’s hand and used his actions to tell him that he supported all her decisions.
Zi Yi looked at him before she turned to Leader Tang. Instead of answering, she asked, “What’s in it for me?”
Leader Tang did not expect this question from Zi Yi. He glanced at them holding hands and laughed. “Little Zi, what benefits do you want?”
Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye and said without the slightest hesitation, “The projects that the R&D center offers to other companies, Ah Jing will be given priority.”
Traces of surprise flashed past Leader Tang’s eyes.
Does this girl know who she was negotiating with?
Does she know what this condition represents?
Leader Tang’s expression instantly turned serious and the atmosphere became tense.
