Mo Heng's roar immediately aroused the curiosity of the Sixth Division and the Third B Squadron who were resting in the neighboring building. They stretched their necks and looked over, and some of them even secretly adjusted their surveillance cameras and watched from inside the house.
A few of the lieutenant commanders recognized Suo Li, so they were even more puzzled. Just what kind of person could make Suo Li accompany him so patiently?
Behind Sir Mo were two people from the military, and there was also a team of guards at the reception point. The lowest rank of these guards was a major, and they were all here to protect Mo Heng. The two people following Mo Heng were both major generals. It was clear how influential Mo Heng was in the military.
However, Suo Li was the only one who knew about this. The people of the Sixth and Third B Squadrons did not know about this. None of the people protecting Mo Heng were wearing military uniforms or badges, but it was obvious from their movements that they were from the military. It was just that they did not know their ranks.
Hearing Mo Heng's voice, Silin hurriedly walked out.
It had been a few years since they last met, and to be honest, he missed the old man a lot. He had only seen Sir Mo's image in a few electronic magazines with high contribution points, but that was the side Sir Mo wanted others to see. The other side was only known to those close to him. For example, right now.
When Mo Heng saw Silin walking out, he examined him from head to toe. Before this, Mo Heng had seen Silin's current appearance, but after seeing it in person, he still couldn't help but sigh: Look at this kid's stupid face!
Since there were a lot of people watching, Sir Mo was merciful enough to not make a move.
"Let's talk inside." Mo Heng put his hands behind his back and walked straight inside with a straight face.
"After you!" Silin let out a sigh of relief. If Mo Heng were to pull his face right now, Silin's prestige would probably drop to zero.
The fact that he was pulling a straight face proved that Mo Heng wasn't really angry right now. On the contrary, Sir Mo must be plotting something. This was what Silin guessed based on his understanding of Mo Heng.
As expected, the moment he entered, Mo Heng's hand reached out from behind his back and grabbed Silin's face.
Squatting on a tall cabinet not far away, Huimao's mouth was wide open. Oh my, this old man is even crueler than Ci! He actually pinched his face!
The faces of the two major generals behind Mo Heng twitched. Old Master Mo's old habits were acting up again. They had seen with their own eyes how Elder Mo had pinched the face of their boss, the famous general of the League of Stars, until it was red.
Suo Li, who had followed them in, looked at the master and disciple pair with great interest. He had only heard a few things about Silin from Bart, Nata, and Songba Leruo. Even Ji Feng had praised Silin, so he couldn't tell much about Silin at such a close distance.
"You're really heartless, aren't you?"
"Yes, yes. If you say so, then it must be."
Elder Mo continued to reprimand Silin until he was done. Seeing the red marks on Silin's face, even Suo Li and the two generals felt pain in their balls and faces.
Then, as expected, there was a barrage of criticism and reprimand.
He had finally said all the words he had been holding back for so long, and he had scolded everything that needed to be scolded. He beckoned with his hand, and a major general carefully brought over the box he was carrying and a spherical instrument.
The moment he saw this, Silin knew that Mo Heng was going to check his homework. Silin hadn't used the instrument to measure the overall accuracy for years, but it shouldn't be lower, right?
Silin brought Mo Heng to a temporary workshop, and Ci Jincheng came over to join in the fun. Huimao wouldn't miss this opportunity either.
Czedow, who was in the next room, didn't need to go over to watch. He could know what was going on inside through the surveillance network and the monitors in the workshop. Also, he was responsible for destroying the recording after this incident. It was Silin's order.
Mo Heng carried the box over and put it on the table. Then, he carefully took out a pile of parts inside. They were all finer parts.
He pressed a button on the circular instrument, and it floated up to reveal a scanning hole in Silin's direction. At the same time, a light screen popped up on top of the prototype, displaying some basic test data.
Even Suo Li was a little surprised when he saw the data. It wasn't a lot of parts, but there were almost a hundred thousand of them!
Needless to say, Silin began to move after he pushed aside the parts and took a look.
A major general brought over a chair and let Mo Heng sit down. Then, everyone's eyes were subconsciously drawn to Silin's movements.
Every time Mo Heng watched Silin assemble, it was like he was admiring a rare work of art. Mo Heng had used one of Silin's assembling videos as a teaching example, but it was more of a deterrent than a guide. After all, there were too few people who could do what Silin did, and not even some of the great instructors in Seven Lights could do it.
After Silin had left, every Seven Lights student who had seen the assembling video tried to inquire about the person who did it, but all the instructors who knew the inside story shut their mouths at the same time and said that it was someone related to Mo Heng. Until now, the video was hailed as a classic by the students of Seven Lights.
Mo Heng knew from experience that Silin had definitely improved without even looking at the instrument. He would know the answer he wanted as long as he moved his eyes away to look at the data on the light screen of the instrument. But Mo Heng could not bear to move his eyes away. It was undeniable that watching Silin assemble was a pleasure in itself.
Unlike the sense of urgency some so-called senior engineers and technicians had when they were assembling, Cillin's movements looked very comfortable to the eyes. It was as natural as breathing. However, in reality, Cillin's movements were very fast, so fast that it was easy to overlook some of his movements. Even so, it didn't affect the smoothness of his movements at all.
Different people, different levels of strength, and different angles of view would more or less miss some of his movements, but all of them were slowly attracted by Silin's hand movements without any prior agreement.
At this time, no one in the audience would think about how this person was able to distinguish the order in which the parts were assembled, or why this person knew what parts to assemble without looking at the fitting parts. The audience's mind was actually very empty. As Silin's hands moved, the thoughts in their minds were unconsciously emptied out, and the only thing left in the empty world of their minds was an object that was slowly taking shape.
Ten minutes later, a finger-thick, half-meter long mechanical snake was assembled.
The two major generals immediately shuddered. They had actually been distracted just now! If someone had tried to harm Mo Heng during this period of time, they would not have had the time to react at all!!
People like them who had gone through strict training and experienced countless battlefields actually had their thoughts emptied out! Although part of the reason was because they believed that Silin would not harm Sir Mo, as guards, they had still underestimated Silin! In the face of a person like Silin, even the slightest bit of negligence could put them in a passive position.
Now they finally knew why Silin had entered the A-rank list of the military's secret files.
The people around Mo Heng would certainly do some research on Silin. With their status in the military and the secret information provided by General Mo Qing, they naturally knew a lot of things that others did not know, especially about Silin.
At this time, they even wondered how long it would take for Silin to enter the S-rank list.
The assembled mechanical snake did not look like a mechanical snake at all. The special materials and precise assembly made the little snake look no different from a real one. It nimbly circled around Silin's arm, raised its flat triangular head to look at Mo Heng and the others, and flicked out its tongue.
Mo Heng swallowed. When Silin's hands stopped moving, his mind was no longer on the little snake. He did not need a detector to test the snake's qualification. He could absolutely confirm that it was a high-rank qualification.
Mo Heng tilted his head to look at the data displayed on the holographic screen. One of the columns showed a series of numbers.
The first few times, the comprehensive accuracy reached the theoretical value of 99.98%, but after three steps, it reached 99.99%, and it had maintained this data since then.
Mo Heng's old face was flushed with excitement. His mouth trembled, but he could not say a word. After taking a deep breath, he completely forgot to exhale.
"Master, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, don't forget to exhale!" Silin hurriedly reminded Mo Heng.
Mo Heng stood up abruptly. "You, you, you, you …"
Mo Heng directly grabbed Silin's face. After saying "you" for a long time, he still could not say "you". His breathing quickened, causing the two major generals and Suo Li to be afraid that something had happened to the old man.
"Master, breathe. Take a deep breath. Breathe slowly." Silin said.
"Slow my ass!" Mo Heng almost roared.
The corner of Suo Li's mouth twitched. This was the behavior of a dignified four-star academician.
After Mo Heng let go of Silin's face, he spun around in circles. Seeing this, Silin and the others were puzzled. What was wrong with the old man?
While Silin was thinking, Mo Heng suddenly paused and pointed at Silin. "You're coming with me to that planet in a moment. There's a mission!"
No one could dissuade Old Man Mo's words, so the two major generals did not try to dissuade him at all. Now that Mo Heng wanted to bring Silin to that planet, he would definitely need the approval and permission of some people in the military. Old Man Mo would naturally contact the relevant personnel for those matters. They only needed to protect Old Man Mo.
Mo Heng was a man of action. After making the decision, he had Silin pack up his things and bring along any handy tools. Of course, this handy tool referred to tools related to assembly, not dangerous items such as firearms. After that, Mo Heng took out his communicator and started contacting people.
Suo Li was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. He wasn't a member of that circle, and he didn't know what the theoretical 99.99% comprehensive accuracy meant. He might know a little, but he didn't know what it meant to people like Mo Heng, so he couldn't understand Mo Heng's feelings right now.
While Cillin was packing up his tools, he sent a secret signal to Czedow. Czedow's eyes flashed for a moment before he deleted everything that had happened in the workshop just now. He had been paying close attention to the monitor all this time. Although the video had been deleted, the scene of Silin assembling still existed in Czedow's memory bank. Unless he forcibly deleted it, the memory would always be there. At the same time, Czedow's eyes turned very subtle, and his fingers moved slightly. If Silin was here, he would've noticed that his fingers were moving at the exact same frequency as when he was assembling just now. The only difference was that Czedow's movements weren't as big.
It didn't take long for Mo Heng to finish contacting people. Then, he nodded at Silin and said, "Let's go!"
Suo Li was familiar with Mo Heng's personality, so he didn't mind Mo Heng's disregard. He shot Silin a look and said, "Pay attention. Contact me if you need anything."
Silin nodded and left.
Ci Jincheng was one of the invited members of the League of Stars Research Institute, so he left with them.
Huimao and Czedow didn't go with them. Setting aside whether or not the military would allow people like them to enter a planet like this, if they exposed themselves in front of the League of Stars Research Institute's academicians, it would be hard for them to get away. After all, their characteristics were too special.
Mo Heng told Silin about the so-called "mission" while he was taking Silin to the planet.
The academicians of the League of Stars Research Institute who were invited this time were people who had made contributions and influence in different fields. Right now, they were all conducting research in different places and regions.
There were a total of sixteen engineers like Mo Heng, and right now they were working on a machine the size of a small mountain.
Due to their age, some of the senior academicians who were invited couldn't do everything by themselves. They had to take a break after a while, and during this break they would supervise and guide the work.
The people they brought with them were all their favorite students, and they would guide them while they were working on the huge machine. However, Mo Heng didn't bring any students with him when he came to this planet, so he couldn't avoid the criticism of his old enemies. That was why Mo Heng gave Silin a good scolding when he saw him and vented his grievances.
However, Mo Heng's arrogance when he got off the spaceplane surprised a few of his old colleagues.
Silin was following beside Mo Heng while carrying a toolbox that wasn't fancy at all. His presence was low, and he looked pretty ordinary. He looked like an errand boy. But everyone who knew Mo Heng knew that he wouldn't let an ordinary errand boy follow him. The people who helped Mo Heng with the toolbox were all major generals.
Mo Heng slowly walked over with his hands behind his back and stood with a few old academicians. He looked at the huge machine and nodded. "Silin, go ahead."
Silin's stomach hurt when he heard this. Why did it sound like "close the door and let the dogs go"?
A few old academicians who were resting next to him looked over in surprise. An old man who was also a four-star academician thumped his leg and shouted, "Old Ruffian Mo, who is this guy? You know, we can't let unrelated people in here. "
Those who could come in were, of course, approved, so they were definitely not unrelated people. The old man said this just to stop Mo Heng, and everyone understood this.
Mo Heng didn't put on a straight face like before. Instead, he pretended to be calm and said, "This guy is old and can't move anymore. Let my disciple do it for him."
These words surprised the old academicians.
It was still the old man who asked first, "Old Ruffian Mo, when did you have a disciple?"
Mo Heng looked up at the sky. "I've had a disciple for a long time …"
Hearing old man Mo's proud sigh and trying to pretend to be bitter, Silin's hand that was holding the box trembled. Look at him, it's as if having a disciple has been through the vicissitudes of life.
The old academicians curled their lips and continued to pretend.
For Mo Heng, this disciple who appeared in front of these leading academicians for the first time, the old academicians diverted part of their attention. Not only was Mo Heng's disciple mysterious, but he was also too young. So young that they couldn't trust his ability.
After Silin walked over, he didn't do anything immediately. He put down the box and walked around the huge machine, attracting the attention of the old academician's disciples who were busy working.
Seeing that his disciple was paying attention to old ruffian Mo's disciple, an old academician's face immediately darkened and he shouted, "Focus on your own work, why are you paying attention to others?!"
Mo Heng's eyes narrowed. "Sigh, some people are just born to attract attention."
The other old academicians who were sitting there resting decided to directly filter out Mo Heng's words and didn't pay much attention to Silin. In any case, if he couldn't do anything, it would be a slap in the face for Mo Heng. Reality proved everything. Let's see how long that old ruffian can be smug for!
Ignoring what the others thought, Silin walked around the huge hemispherical machine and thought for a while with a frown.
Huimao once said that machines also had their own language, and the information they wanted to express could be understood by "listening".
This big machine was huge, complicated, and could even block scanners. Without understanding the principle and general structure, no one dared to work on it. So until now, there had been no substantial progress even with more than a dozen academicians personally working on it. They might be experienced in assembly, but when it came to the language of machines, they couldn't compare to Silin, so they wouldn't think in that direction.
He carefully sensed the subtle movements caused by non-human activities in the surroundings. There weren't even any plants around, so the subtle movements should be caused by this huge machine.
After being further stimulated by the chip, Silin's ability to "listen" to machine language had improved a lot. As his thoughts slowly settled, he could "listen" to some intermittent "language".
Silin converted these "languages" into shapes in his mind.
And so, in Silin's mind, the big machine was surrounded by floating shapes from time to time.
From the floating and moving trajectories of these shapes, Silin came to one of the parts of the machine. The spot Silin was looking for was nearly ten meters above the ground. Activating his hoverboard, Silin flew to the spot and pressed down.
"Hey, kid, don't touch it!" roared an old academician in exasperation.
Impatient, young people are too impatient. Mo Heng didn't care. Being too impatient would only ruin things. He still needed to hone his skills!
However, as soon as the old academician finished speaking, the huge, motionless, hemispherical machine split into a few petals like a flower and spread out from the point at the top.
Mo Heng slapped his thigh excitedly, "Hey, look, it moved!"
The old academicians rolled their eyes at the same time. Anyone with eyes would know that it was time to move!!
However, they had to admit that Mo Heng's mysterious disciple was indeed capable. Whether it was by coincidence or not, he did touch a key spot. This was as exciting as opening a shortcut in a maze.
However, looking back at Mo Heng, the old academicians really wanted to remind this arrogant academic ruffian, "Mo, watch out for your arrogant tail!"
