Chapter 431: You Two Are a Good Match
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were only a few individuals wearing work overalls in the large room and they were all encircled around a two-meter-high robot as they discussed.
Clearly, they did not notice the two individuals who had just entered.
Just as Dou Xiaoyong was about to speak, Zi Yi softly said, “Second Uncle, we’ll go over after they are finished discussing.”
Thus, Dou Xiaoyong did not call out to them.
Just then, one of the individuals said, “The debugging of the program is done, we can start testing it now.”
The other individuals all agreed and stepped aside.
Following that, the robot’s body jumped a distance of ten meters and it released a punch at a fast speed. As its punch struck against a steel wall, a large hole was instantly formed.
Yet, Zi Yi’s ears twitched at that moment and she said in a loud voice, “The screw in the robot’s XX part is loose, get away quickly.”
Having said that, she strode towards the robot in large steps.
“Little Zi, come back!” Dou Xiaoyong got a fright. “That robot is still in fighting mode. Don’t go over, it’s dangerous.”
The other individuals were also surprised to see Zi Yi making her way over.
One of them shouted, “What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself!
Hurry and stop!”
After shouting, he was about to go ahead and stop Zi Yi.
Yet, the robot suddenly changed direction and released punches towards the other stationary robots.
The complexion of the engineers instantly changed.
“Quick, shut down that robot’s program.”
BAM!
One of the motionless robots was sent flying with a punch and it flew several meters away.
BAM!
“It’s no good, I am unable to shut down the program.”
Another individual said with an ugly expression, “The control device is not working.”
As they said that, they had quickly retreated to the side.
Zi Yi glanced at their reactions and took over the control device as she quickly pressed a few b.u.t.tons. Immediately after, she ran towards the rioting robot.
The robot had actually detected her presence and turned to face her.
“Little Zi, be careful.”
“Look out!”
Zi Yi came face to face with the fist heading in her direction and the corner of her lips curled up. She quickly took the control device and threw it towards a certain part of its body.
DONG!
The robot paused for several seconds. Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Zi Yi bent her waist and as she dodged the robot’s punch, she appeared behind its back and quickly reached out.
None of them saw how Zi Yi had done that. They only heard several slapping sounds from behind its back and shortly afterwards, the robot stopped.
Zi Yi only walked out after the robot had stopped all its movement. She looked at the engineers with her unusually bright and beautiful eyes.
Dou Xiaoyong breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, several engineers started clapping at the same time.
Engineer Li who had a kind appearance laughed out loud and said, “As expected of a mechanical genius. To think you’re able to detect what’s wrong with the robot through just listening to it.”
Engineer Tang who looked slightly stern also said, “Your courage is commendable, being able to forcefully stop the robot while it’s rioting!”
Dou Xiaoyong suddenly understood that they had deliberately caused the robot to malfunction in order to test Zi Yi’s skills.
He then looked at Zi Yi who had a calm appearance and he felt a surge of pride in his heart.
He waved to Zi Yi. “Little Zi, come over and I’ll introduce you to them.”
Zi Yi walked over and stood beside Dou Xiaoyong.
The other four engineers had also come over.
The one with a stern expression is Engineer Tang, the one who has a sharp gaze is Engineer Song, the one with a gentle expression is Engineer Li and lastly, the bespectacled guy is Engineer Lu.
The ones who spoke earlier were Engineer Li and Engineer Tang.
After introductions were done, Engineer Li asked Zi Yi, “Little Zi, how did you know that there was a problem with the robot?” They had been very discrete with what they were doing.
“I have keen senses when it comes to robots and I’ll be able to hear if there’s the slightest mistake.”
They did not believe her and brought her over to where the robots received repairs and maintenance.
Zi Yi let them witness her special skill of being able to identify which part of the robot has problems, just based on sound alone.
When the leader of the research lab came over in the afternoon to see if Zi Yi had been bullied, he discovered that a few middle-aged men, around 35 to 45 years old, were all surrounding her as they enthusiastically discussed the robots in front of them.
The leader nodded his head in satisfaction.
Just then, someone saw the leader.
The engineers called out to him in unison. “Leader Qin.”
Leader Qin exuded a natural aura of a superior, but at the same time, he was very amicable without being ent.i.tled. He smiled and nodded at them and said to Zi Yi, “It seems like Little Zi is very accustomed to this place, I can now rest a.s.sured.”
Zi Yi blinked her eyes and looked at him.
Leader Qin thought that Zi Yi was unfamiliar with him and so he said, “The previous time when you submitted those blueprints to the country, I was the one who was in contact with you.”
Zi Yi responded with an ‘oh’.
Leader Qin glanced at the time and said, “It’s time for lunch, let’s go. We can discuss the production plan of the blueprints that Zi Yi gave to us during lunch.”
Thus, seven people headed towards the canteen.
Leader Qin obviously had a high position. Along the way, no matter whoever encountered him, they would all respectfully greet him.
The seven people sat down at a large table.
After the dishes were served, the engineers talked about what had happened earlier.
Leader Qin listened to them seriously with a kind smile on his face. After they were done, he then looked towards Zi Yi and asked, “Little Zi, we will be representing the country and taking part in an International Showcase in a month’s time. All the partic.i.p.ating countries will bring high-end robots with them to exhibit, and I hope that you can cooperate with our engineers to complete the robots we are bringing within a month. As for the materials you need, you can just tell me directly.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. She knew that even though these materials were unavailable on the market, the country would certainly have them.
She then listed the materials she needed.
The engineers were all surprised when they heard the materials.
Leader Qin merely pondered for a few seconds before he agreed. “I will get someone to deliver these materials within the next few days.”
After they finished lunch, due to the insufficient materials, Zi Yi and Dou Xiaoyong were about to return to M.Uni.
But before Zi Yi left, Leader Qin had a short conversation with her alone.
Leader Qin still had that gentle expression on his face and it caused Zi Yi to think of Lu Jingye.
Leader Qin asked, “Little Zi, I wish to know if anyone else has seen those blueprints before you gave them to us?”
“No.”
Leader Qin nodded and relaxed. However, at the thought that she was still young and might not have been attentive enough, he reminded her. “Since you’ve handed these blueprints over to the country, you can’t give them to other people.”
“I know.”
Leader Qin was satisfied and casually asked, “I heard that Little Zi is dating the Lu Family’s second child?”
Zi Yi was not surprised that Leader Qin knew about this. She calmly nodded. “Yes.”
Leader Qin looked at her with a smile and said, with a hidden meaning behind his words, “Very good, you two are a good match..”
