Professor Ai laughed heartily, "No problem, no problem. I completed most of this design, and two familiar professors helped with the parts I was not familiar with. We would be thrilled if you could join. You young people have such creative ideas."

Su Xiaocai: "..." It seemed right, but also somewhat off.

No time to think about it, Professor Ai had already pulled out a computer and then brought up the 3D simulation image.

Su Xiaocai nodded her chin, her gaze focused on the 3D schematic.

With a casual tap of her finger, the defense tower started moving.

The simulated base was always founded on modularity, easy to dismantle and install.

The design of the defense tower utilized the new traction technology Su Xiaocai had taught, allowing it to connect or disconnect between towers by altering magnetic fields or using anti-gravity. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

It was somewhat like the weapons used by Squirrel, but more flexible and versatile.

Su Xiaocai suddenly had an inspiration for a weapon, "I have an idea, don’t interrupt me." She abandoned the model, created a new file, and quickly started sketching on it.

The blueprint was completed almost in one go, starting from the components, with very concise lines. It was evident that she had a clear understanding of the internal design from the moment her ideas originated in her mind.

At first, Ai Shengping didn’t know what she intended to create; gradually, his relaxed brows knitted together.

She would copy repetitive parts with a single click, producing an indeterminate number of components.

Su Xiaocai put down her pen and then began assembling.

A global offensive and defensive weapon slowly took shape.

The weapon had the function of a protective shield, capable of covering one-fourth of Blue Star when deployed, and could move, acting as a shield for the defense tower.

On ordinary days, it absorbed cosmic rays and solar energy for storage.

But the protective shield was not its final form. At critical moments, it could construct a star-destroying weapon.

Like building blocks, once combined, they formed the ultimate weapon. With artificial intelligence as the foundation, the defense level of Mechanical Planet would increase several times over.

While drawing this, Su Xiaocai was very focused,

she didn’t even notice when Admiral Bai arrived.

Admiral Bai couldn’t understand the diagram, but Professor Ai could, and at that moment, he was almost fainting with excitement.

Explaining quietly to Admiral Bai about what Su Xiaocai had drawn, once this weapon is realized, she would undoubtedly earn the title of a master weapon designer.

Admiral Bai: "..." Grown from ordinary days.

Genius inspiration comes so quickly.

Should he perhaps upgrade the security level around and set up some checkpoints?

After three hours, Su Xiaocai finished drawing, she stood up and stretched her back, feeling great. This weapon could even be used on Mecha, a miniaturized star-destroying weapon.

"Hahaha, I’m a genius." Su Xiaocai thought another main weapon for the Mecha could be put on the agenda.

Then she heard Admiral Bai’s low cough, "Hey... Uncle Bai, why are you here?"

She looked at the time, it was almost ten o’clock.

Professor Ai was eagerly looking at her weapon blueprint, "Teacher Su, can I take a look?"

"Teacher Su, I want this." Admiral Bai imitated Professor Ai. The key is he maintained a serious face, but his eyes betrayed a mirthful, slightly mischievous look.

Colonel Yuan and his secretary turned their faces away, it was too embarrassing — their superior’s comical expression was somewhat disgraceful.

Professor Ai: "If you ask me, don’t rush, you can’t rush this. It hasn’t been made yet, it’s just a draft."

"Such a large thing, it has to be made first? How much will that cost?"

"Who said it’s large, this thing clearly has a mini version. Don’t pretend to know if you don’t. Wait for Professor Su to first create a template. If anyone should be in a hurry, it should be me first." Professor Ai was eloquent, dismissing Admiral Bai’s lack of insight, noting that good things take time to settle and require many experiments to achieve the best state.

Admiral Bai made a tutting sound, hands clasped behind his back.

His demeanor closely resembled Admiral Bai’s by eighty percent, "Alright, you’re the professionals, your call. Can my matters start first?"

Su Xiaocai said, "Should we start?"

Due to confidentiality clauses, Admiral Bai wanted to expedite the upgrade of Qi Sensing, which outsiders shouldn’t know about.

Unless Admiral Bai didn’t mind.

"No problem, Professor Ai, you can keep it confidential, right?"

Professor Ai nodded, "What are you guys planning to do? As for matters concerning tech business, I won’t get involved." Things like patent transactions, which involve interests, he didn’t want to partake in.

Honestly acknowledging, commendable... or maybe not, humans are inherently nosy creatures, Professor Ai certainly wanted to know, so he quickly shifted his tone, "If not, I’d be willing to keep it secret."

Yesterday, Admiral Bai had already adjusted his state, and Su Xiaocai directly administered needles to increase the flow rate of Qi Sensing.

Professor Ai sat meekly, put on his reading glasses, and his wise eyes were filled with confusion, "What’s the use of this?"
