After staying at home for a day, Xiao Ran returned to the research institute. Over the past few days, the research institute had made new progress and breakthroughs every day. Naturally, the first thing Xiao Ran did during his absence was to confirm the progress and situation of the past few days.
While Xiao Ran was reading the report, Major Luo, as the contact person, knocked on the door of Xiao Ran's office. After receiving Xiao Ran's permission to enter, he saw that Xiao Ran was in good condition and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he sat directly in front of Xiao Ran.
After sitting down, Major Luo directly said, "Deputy Director Xiao, you've been away for a long time this time. The higher-ups are very worried that you might have encountered some kind of danger."
"The difference in the passage of time is not something I can decide." Xiao Ran said without raising his head, "Also, I flipped the table a long time ago because I encountered some interesting things and was slightly delayed. But in the past few days, the research institute has been progressing according to the schedule. At this rate, even if I'm not around, I won't be a big problem. We should be able to produce the new fighter and armed mecha within two years."
Major Luo nodded. This Major Luo was not the same as the Luo from the army. He did not understand technology at all. The reason he was in the research institute at this time was because he was Xiao Ran's liaison officer. He was also responsible for the safety of the research institute. This guy was currently the most powerful person besides the players of the game.
"According to the initial plan, we will complete the quantum computer within half a year, the exoskeleton armor and new tanks within a year, the energy weapons within a year and a half, and the fighter and armed mecha within two years. But without Deputy Director Xiao's leadership, it is absolutely impossible to complete all the work in two years."
"So, I will only stay here for two years. After that, I will leave." Xiao Ran put down the report in his hand, looked at Major Luo, and said, "When the time comes, I will need you to take care of my family. As for the internal affairs, I have the personal protection of the ten people I gave World of Warcraft class system. As long as it is not a particularly dangerous situation, it will be enough for the time being. But perhaps I will also arrange for some people to be taken care of. I'm letting you know about this matter in advance."
Major Luo was not surprised by this. Instead, he asked, "Can it be trusted?"
Xiao Ran nodded. "Trustworthy, and they don't have the guts to betray me. When the time comes, if you need anything, you can ask these people to help you, whether it's inside or outside."
"I know what to do." Major Luo said, "We originally had some people in there, and then we got in touch with some of them. We did as you said, deputy director, with good intentions. We also made better arrangements for their families. It was a good karma. We did not impose too many restrictions on those who were willing to join. We did not ask them to have more freedom like real soldiers. After all, these people are very likely to become heroes who protect this world in the future."
"That's the right thing to do. Gradually increase their sense of identity and relieve their worries. Anyway, as long as they can't use their power at will outside, they won't be a big threat."
Major Luo expressed that he understood. After a pause, he took out a document and placed it on Xiao Ran's desk. He said, "Deputy director, we have now established a new Game Science and Technology Department. It is used to analyze how much of the technology inside can be implemented outside. It can increase the strength of some special forces as soon as possible, especially when fighting in small areas and alleys. In the end, we selected this thing. See if you can implement it."
Xiao Ran took the document from Major Luo with some curiosity. After glancing at the picture on it, he raised his head. "Isolated Island Crisis Nano Suit? Isn't this thing equivalent to the xenogeneic exoskeleton armor? "
Major Luo said, "We hope to consider something that can be used on a large scale from the cost. The cost of exoskeleton armor is still too high for us at present. The problem of material scarcity will be a big problem, and the cost pressure is relatively high. We also need a short transition period. This is a preliminary selection. In addition, it may not be possible to use exoskeleton armor in many special operations. After all, we have no way to master space technology at all."
"A nano suit that can enhance the human body's functions and can be equipped on a large scale so that ordinary soldiers can use it. At the same time, it needs to be able to be derived from multiple versions." Xiao Ran put down the document and gently tapped it with his hand. He said, "I'm afraid I can't do it. This involves biotechnology. I'm not good at these things, but if it's nanotechnology, I can give it to you. I guess this thing is estimated to not be too cheap, but you can wait. I will go and get a few samples first."
"Sorry to trouble you." Major Luo smiled at Xiao Ran gratefully, and his face slowly became a little hesitant. "That … deputy director."
"Is there anything else?"
"It's about your mother …" Major Luo coughed softly and said, "According to the report of the guards, she has been doing something recently. This matter has been taken seriously by the higher-ups. We have prepared a lot of information, and I think I need to tell you about it."
"What is it? Information? " Xiao Ran was a little confused at first, but then he realized something. He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is it the information of a blind date?"
"Ahem." Major Luo coughed twice and said seriously, "That's it. But the principle is that both sides should be able to see eye to eye. The higher-ups also hope that you can keep a child, but don't misunderstand. They definitely don't want to use a child to blackmail you. They just want to improve the relationship between both sides. So, the people on the information for you are all daughters of rich families. Do you want to take a look first? Your mother wants us to send those things to her. "
Xiao Ran felt a bit of a headache. "Why is this happening? I have a wife and a child. It's just that I can't bring them back, so I didn't tell them."
Major Luo said very understandingly, "That's not a problem. It's not like we're in the same world, and it's not illegal. We've considered all these factors, so there shouldn't be a problem."
Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Let's put it this way. Right now, I'm like a god, and the people you've chosen are just ordinary people. How easy do you think it is for two different species to have a child? Their life levels are completely different, and even their genes have changed. "
Major Luo was stunned for a moment, and then his mind turned quickly. "Is there such a secret? It doesn't matter if the ordinary people outside can't, but the people inside can't? Their physical fitness is also different from ours. Their life levels must have been improved. We also have people from inside. If it really doesn't work, there will be some special items inside that can help with the birth of a child. "
Xiao Ran said, "To be honest, I do want to keep a child here for my mother, and I'll definitely come back in the future, but not in this way. It's nonsense if there's no emotional foundation. You don't need to worry about this."
"What about your mother?"
Xiao Ran waved his hand weakly. "Do what she tells you to do."
Major Luo nodded and stood up. "Okay, then I'll go first. I'll send a copy of the information to your terminal later. Anyway, you can read it when you have time."
Xiao Ran watched Major Luo leave, speechless. He knew what the other party was thinking. Having a family and children would indeed become a kind of yearning and sustenance. This would also make Xiao Ran think more about children and family, and then associate it with the world here, thus bringing more reciprocation to this world. There was no such thing as a hostage. The country was not that stingy. It was very simple. All of this was done by Mother Xiao. The actions and ideas of the higher-ups were just going with the flow. Besides, this was not a bad thing.
Sitting in a chair, Xiao Ran rubbed his aching head and took out his personal terminal. He clicked on the information Major Luo sent over and placed it on the table. There were quite a few people on the information, at least 30 to 50. They were all people with temperament, knowledge, and beauty, but to Xiao Ran, they were not attractive.
Suddenly, Xiao Ran's fingers stopped, and his eyes landed on a picture of a girl. The girl in the picture was expressionless and a little cold. She was wearing a white dress and sitting in a car. Her hand was resting on the car window, and there was a kitten lying on her lap with its eyes closed. It was unknown what the kitten was thinking. Its eyes were a little empty, like a blooming snow lotus.
"Situ Yaoyao, 23 years old, fourth-year mathematics student. Likes to play games. Has a pet? Simple and straightforward personality. Seems to have poor EQ? Seems to be one of the people inside? " Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Isn't this girl an evildoer? She's the daughter of a government official, her mother's family is Da Shang. She grew up with her grandparents and didn't have much contact with the outside world. She's the only girl in her family. In reality, there really is such a person in the world. From the start, other people were left behind dozens of streets behind. In two years, won't she become the standard domineering female CEO? Hehe. "
Xiao Ran suddenly smiled. He shook his head and turned off his personal terminal. He put on his white lab coat and walked out of the office.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ran didn't immediately return home after leaving the research institute. Instead, he went to the city. After finding a coffee shop hidden in the downtown area, Xiao Ran walked in. In this quiet coffee shop, he saw a girl in a white dress. He sat across from her.
The girl was originally reading a book with her head down. After Xiao Ran sat down, she looked up. She silently looked at Xiao Ran for a few seconds before she slowly closed the book and put it on the table. She tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Your eyes?"
"Contact lenses." Xiao Ran smiled and looked at the girl who he had seen a picture of not long ago. He said, "Situ Yaoyao, your information was personally delivered to me today."
"Information?" Situ Yaoyao was confused and asked, "What information?"
Xiao Ran pouted and said, "Personal information for the blind date."
"Oh." Situ Yaoyao lowered her head slightly. He couldn't tell what she was thinking. She didn't blush or feel embarrassed. She said, "When? Not today. I'm not ready. I asked you out this time because of those people. "
Xiao Ran's expression froze for a moment before he hurriedly changed the topic. "I say, aren't you a little too bold? In the real world, you can't use your abilities as you please. Aren't you worried that you'll encounter danger when you meet other players? You can contact me through the terminal. You haven't changed at all in the game. Aren't you worried that someone will seek revenge on you? "
Situ Yaoyao raised her head and said with a serious expression, "I have bodyguards. I can't use my ability, and neither can anyone else. The thing you gave me can be used in the real world. I can protect myself, and it can change."
Situ Yaoyao touched her chest and the corner of her eye, "This place is smaller in the game. The corner of my eye also moved a degree.
"What you said makes sense. I'm actually speechless." Xiao Ran was stunned. He shook his head and smiled. He leaned on the sofa and said, "Now that you've seen it, let's get down to business. How are those people?"
Situ Yaoyao said, "They're all willing to work for you. No one refused."
"Not bad." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Have you joined any guild? If not, you can create one. The name will be Burning Legion. If the name is repeated, tell me. I'll talk to the people in the guild and add everyone. Then I'll give them some arrangements and rewards. Tell everyone to gather in this city."
Situ Yaoyao nodded and said, "Okay."
After talking about business, Situ Yaoyao didn't say anything. Xiao Ran didn't know what to say. He thought for a while and asked, "When are you going to advance to Gold?"
"Anytime. I was waiting for someone to grow up and help me do quests, but I don't need that anymore."
After saying that, Situ Yaoyao looked at Xiao Ran. She blinked and then remained motionless.
Xiao Ran saw her and smiled, "Okay, I'll help you with the next quest."
"Okay." Situ Yaoyao stood up and said, "Then I'll be leaving. We'll meet here tomorrow at this time."
Xiao Ran was stunned, "Eh?"
Situ Yaoyao was a bit confused, "Aren't you going on a blind date? I said we'll meet here tomorrow at this time. Bye. "
"What the hell is this girl doing?" Xiao Ran was stunned as he watched Situ Yaoyao leave. He was a bit stunned, "I can't guess what she's thinking at all. Her emotions are so stable. She didn't even have any fluctuations. Although she didn't try to sense it, she didn't reveal any emotions. What kind of monster is she? "
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran was a little confused. He raised his hand and ordered a cup of coffee and slowly drank it.
