When Xiao Ran returned to his residence, Moses and Billy were still there. Each of them was busy with something on a computer. When they saw Xiao Ran return, they stood up and greeted Xiao Ran.
Moses looked at Xiao Ran whose coat was nowhere to be seen and showed a rare look of curiosity. "Sir, where's your coat?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. He looked down and saw that he was only wearing a white shirt. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "I lent it to someone else. I forgot to ask for it back."
"It's the Milky Way singer, Miss Sherry Dew, right?" Moses and Billy looked at each other and laughed. Billy said, "Sir, you're not only good in battle, but also in normal times. In short, you're very good at critical moments. You're a role model for our generation."
"Haha." Xiao Ran smiled and waved his hand. He sat on the sofa and asked the two to sit down. "Is there anything else after coming out of S.M.S.?"
Moses and Billy shook their heads. Moses said, "There are two things to report to you, sir."
Xiao Ran rubbed his head and nodded. "Go ahead."
"The person in charge of LAI invited you to visit LAI at nine o 'clock tomorrow morning. The person who invited you is S.M.S. Luca Angelo's brother."
"The second thing is that the Presidential Palace sent an invitation today. They hope that you can be the military judge for Miss Macross of the 25th Ship Regiment."
"Wait." Xiao Ran opened his eyes and pointed at himself in shock. "Me? Miss Macross's judge? But I don't even know how to sing. "
Moses said with a serious face, "The military representative doesn't need to know how to sing. He just needs to choose the person he likes."
Xiao Ran frowned. "Wait a minute, what about the three islands?"
Moses answered without thinking. "He will attend as a government representative. In addition, Miss Catherine will be invited as the former Miss Macross. Miss Sherry Dew will also attend."
Xiao Ran nodded. "When do we start?"
"The preliminaries have already begun. Sir, you only need to participate in the finals. It will be held in five days. It will start in the morning and end in the afternoon."
"Okay, I got it." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Let Lan Hua participate."
"Orchid? But shouldn't we be protecting her? Besides, won't she attract those insects when she sings? "Moses and Billy were stunned for a moment.
Xiao Ran nodded with certainty. "That's right. I just want the orchid to participate. After two consecutive battles, most of the Zergs in this area should have been wiped out. Otherwise, there would have been more than five Zergs in today's battle. As long as the S.M.S. people were sent out for reconnaissance or training missions, it would be fine. Besides, isn't Leon San Dao going as well? I want Orchid to appear in front of him openly. I want to see how he will react when the orchid appears in front of him. Will he suppress it because he is afraid of losing control of the orchid, or … "
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes. "Besides, Orchid's singing may be very important to humans. Right now, Orchid doesn't have the ability or the courage to sing fearlessly under any circumstances. Now that we have the opportunity to let her get used to it, we should take advantage of this opportunity to train her. "
Moses and Billy nodded in agreement with Xiao Ran's words. After all, they had seen Orchid before. They also felt that the little girl was too introverted and easily blushed and got nervous. Although they didn't know why Xiao Ran was so sure that Sherry Dew and Orchid's singing could communicate with the Zergs, it was a fact that the singing attracted the Zergs. At least for the time being, they had no reason to refute Xiao Ran. Besides, they wouldn't go against Xiao Ran's orders either.
Xiao Ran suddenly asked, "When will the results of Orchid's physical examination be out?"
"Major Ozma has already contacted us. The results will be out tomorrow. " Moses said, "The examination conducted by the hospital in S.M.S. can guarantee that the results of the examination will not be leaked."
"Okay." Xiao Ran stood up and stretched. "That's it then. I will go to LAI's invitation tomorrow. You two should rest early."
"Yes, sir."
Xiao Ran returned to his bedroom and took out an earring and a necklace from his trouser pocket. Looking at the two items in his hand, Xiao Ran seemed to understand why Sherry Dew threw one necklace to him and took the other. He smiled and put the earring into the necklace. He pinched the sharp end of the earring flat and hung the necklace around his neck.
The night was silent. Xiao Ran opened her eyes at eight o 'clock in the morning the next day. After washing up, she changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the room. At this time, Moses and Billy had already woken up and started working. Billy was facing the computer and the phone, arranging the surveillance work for the new day. Moses was ready to set off at any time.
After saying goodbye to the two, Xiao Ran and Moses left their residence and drove to LAI's building. LAI's headquarters was not on the main island, but on the first island where the fleet replenished. Moses drove all the way and arrived at the destination before 9 am.
When the car stopped. Soon, LAI's staff opened the door for Xiao Ran. Moses also got out of the cockpit and stood behind Xiao Ran. A young man about the same age as Xiao Ran appeared in front of Xiao Ran.
This person was Luca's brother. He had the same hair color as Luca and a handsome appearance. He was wearing a well-fitting suit and greeted Xiao Ran with a smile. "Hello, investigator Xiao Ran. I'm very happy to have you visit LAI's headquarters today."
"Hello, Mr. Angelo." Xiao Ran also shook hands with the other party with a standard smile and said, "I'm also very honored to receive Mr. Angelo's invitation. LAI is the backbone of the 25th Fleet and is quite famous on Earth. I've used the VF-25 you developed, and it's really good."
"You're too kind." Angelo smiled and said politely, "That's because Mr. Xiao Ran's piloting skills are amazing. As far as I know, Mr. Xiao Ran has become the idol of many pilots in the military. Also, our VF-25 has many shortcomings. In my opinion, the airframe used by Mr. Xiao Ran is really amazing. The beam cannon and beam gun technology, as well as the armor technology, are also things we need to learn."
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. "Haha, Mr. Angelo, are you going to continue being polite with me here?"
Angelo smiled and gestured with his hand. "Sorry, please."
"Please."
The two of them walked into LAI's headquarters side by side, talking and laughing. They didn't know if Angelo had prepared beforehand, but other than a few necessary staff members at their posts, they didn't see many people.
Under Angelo's guidance, Xiao Ran visited LAI's design department, development department, weapons department, fighter jet department, engine department, civilian product manufacturing department, and so on. Every time they arrived at a place, they would stop to take a good look. Angelo would also enthusiastically introduce most of the products to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran had a smile on his face and carefully listened to Angelo's introduction. He would also talk to Angelo from time to time. However, it was Xiao Ran's first time seeing many of the things in LAI. Although he had no idea what those things were used for, he still pretended to know a little about them. From time to time, he would show a surprised expression and say that LAI's technology was very powerful and so on.
After the tour, it was already close to noon. Angelo invited Xiao Ran to enjoy a very sumptuous lunch. After lunch, he took Xiao Ran to a VIP room in LAI's headquarters building to drink tea.
After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Ran put down the cup and smiled. "Today's tour made me feel that today's tour was worth it. Mr. Angelo's explanation was very detailed. But Mr. Angelo, you invited me here today not just for a tour, right? "
"Haha, Mr. Xiao, you're a very straightforward person. It makes me seem petty." Angelo smiled and nodded. His expression became slightly more serious. "Today, I invited Mr. Xiao Ran here because I have a presumptuous request."
The smile on Xiao Ran's face faded. "Please go ahead."
"The body used by Mr. Xiao Ran seems to have adopted a lot of technologies that have never been seen before. For example, the armor that changes color after it is activated seems to have a very strong ability to resist live ammunition. Some live ammunition attacks that can penetrate the pinpoint defense system can't do any damage to the body.
"The device that can deflect beam weapons is still in theory. We don't even have the slightest clue about how to develop it. We haven't even touched the edges of it yet.
"There's also the miniaturized beam gun technology. Its energy gathering and binding performance are much better than the current miniaturized beam weapons, especially the energy weapon located in the chest of the body. Each of these technologies will bring a great impact to our military industry. Mr. Xiao Ran, do you know what this means?"
Xiao Ran thought for a while and said, "A comprehensive upgrade of weapons?"
"That's right." Angelo nodded heavily and said, "It's not just a comprehensive upgrade, it's a revolution. A huge revolution in weapons and equipment. Whoever obtains these technologies will be the first to gain an advantage in this revolution, and then expand this advantage. I know that there's no such technology on Earth, so I won't ask where Mr. Xiao Ran got this body. Can I ask Mr. Xiao Ran to borrow your body for our research? "
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. Previously, he had already replied to LAI that it wasn't impossible for them to research the body, so he didn't have any thoughts of rejecting them. Instead, he was thinking about what he could get in exchange for handing over the body to them for research. Angelo didn't urge Xiao Ran. Naturally, he knew what Xiao Ran was thinking, so he waited quietly.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ran nodded. "That's not a problem. The owner of the body is me. I can lend it to you, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
Angelo's face suddenly showed an excited smile. He kept nodding his head. "Mr. Xiao Ran, please tell us."
