Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 189 Tooth for Tooth
Chu Yuyi looked at Deputy Director Carl silently, who fell into a long silence. The number 13 is quite bad for Westerners. Looking at the deputy director's silence, it seems that even the equipment department, which is used to being unorthodox, is very taboo about this number.

"...So, I was against the group of people who included I13 in the textbooks. No one understood that thing clearly." Deputy Director Karl sighed.

He looked up at the Great Xia Dragon Bird, whose lifeless eyes were extremely cold, like a dead object. For them who had personally given it "life", this was a miracle, but it was hard to say what this "miracle" meant to its "prototype".

"Well, the Great Xia Dragon Bird did use some reverse-engineered technology from the I13." Deputy Director Carl sighed and said, "But the main thing is the main structure of the body. The power system and drive system were completed by ourselves! Before we discovered that thing, we already had the plan to build exoskeleton equipment to prevent dragons."

Chu Yuwei also glanced at the cold Great Xia Dragon Bird. Even if Deputy Director Karl did not admit it, she had already seen some clues in some structures of the Great Xia Dragon Bird.

"I13 is too old. No matter how great it was when it was complete, it is now just a pile of scrap metal, at most a mysterious scrap metal." Deputy Director Karl shrugged and said, "Based on the schematic diagram of the Seraph you submitted, we calculated that it is the legitimate successor to I13."

"Successor?" Chu Yuwei was surprised. She originally thought that Seraph might have some relationship with I13, but she didn't expect the relationship to be so close.

"Not only that, you can't imagine how terrified the Gattuso family looked when they saw I13." Deputy Director Carl said with some pleasure, "People outside don't know that the direction of this board meeting has completely changed. Now the Gattuso family is asking us to hand over I13, and they are also scolding the head of the family, Pompey, for betraying the family in front of a lot of people."

Deputy Director Carl said cheerfully: "It's a pity that Pompey Gattuso is busy arguing with your father and has no time to deal with them."

Chu Yuwei was indifferent. It seemed that these two people were going to pass on their grudges to the next generation.

"Although we wanted to restore the structure of the Seraph through reverse research on I13, unfortunately, I13 can no longer withstand the tossing." Deputy Director Carl said with some regret, "We wanted to chop it up completely and squeeze out the last value, but the vice president refused to give it to us, saying that it was a unique product and could not be wasted. We then hung it in our own bell tower."

Chu Yuwei was silent again. She realized that she was wrong. This group of people had no respect for the number 13 at all!
Then, Deputy Director Karl was shocked again, looked at Chu Yuyi proudly and said, "But it doesn't matter. The Gattuso family will soon beg us to hand over all the drawings of the Seraph. Do you want to know why?"

"Why?" Chu Yuwei asked curiously.

The smug look on the Gattuso family's face when they held the Seraph in the first meeting of the school board made the members of the Chinese branch gnash their teeth. Even if the college headquarters already had a competitor like the Great Xia Dragon Bird, they probably wouldn't take out such an important thing easily.

"Because Seraph is too backward." Deputy Director Carl said, "I13 is a scary thing, and Seraph is also a scary thing. When we first saw it, we were all shocked. But after analyzing the internal structure of I13, we found that it would put a great burden on the body and mind of the qualified person, that is, the driver. In severe cases, it may even paralyze or turn into a vegetable. Simply put, it is not something for human use!"

"We don't need to worry about these problems with our things!" Deputy Director Carl looked at the Great Xia Dragon Bird and said with enthusiasm in his eyes, "Times are advancing, and that old drive system has been eliminated long ago! There is no need for others to tell us that our Great Xia Dragon Bird is perfect. If there are imperfections, it is not its problem, but the problem of the qualified person!"

Chu Yuyi recalled that every time Lucrecia left the cockpit of the Seraph, even if she looked calm, she couldn't help sweating on her forehead, as if it wasn't her who was wearing the armor and making cool moves just now. Perhaps the Seraph really had some kind of burden on her. However, this could also be because the ventilation of the Seraph was not very good, so Chu Yuyi asked again: "You also said that the times are progressing, won't the Gattuso family use modern technology to improve it?"

"There are indeed improvements. Originally, based on the I13, we inferred that its successor might be a small guy with a height of only about two meters. But the Gattuso family used some modern technology on the outer armor of the Seraph, making it look a little more powerful and a little taller. However, the core drive system and power system were modified..." Deputy Director Karl smiled contemptuously, "They can't do it at all!"

"Okay, okay, after saying so much, it's time for you to go up and try it." Deputy Director Carl interrupted the conversation and called a researcher to tell Chu Yuwei what to pay attention to when riding.

Chu Yuyi listened and glanced at the Great Xia Dragon Bird. Suddenly, she thought, Lucrecia aside, if Lu Mingfei saw this thing, would he also be frightened?
……

"A-choo!" Lu Mingfei suddenly sneezed. He subconsciously tightened his clothes, and then realized that something was wrong. Let alone the autumn wind, even if it was snowing heavily, he probably wouldn't feel anything with his current physical condition.

The night deepened, the moon was hidden behind the clouds and did not come out. Only the dim street lights on this old street could barely provide some light, and most of the time they flickered due to poor contact.

There are few people on the street, or basically no people except them, and the nearest residential area is several hundred meters away. You don't even need a filter here, it's definitely a good place to shoot a horror movie.

Lu Mingfei glanced ahead and saw Xia Mi walking in front of him without saying a word. She was walking with a lot of noise, with each step making a big impression. The hem of her black school skirt bounced in the dim light, which was pretty, but it clearly showed that the owner of the skirt was unhappy.

The familiar old sycamore tree and old house appeared in front of him, and Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll drop you off here, and I'll go back and rest early."

"...Yeah." Xia Mi didn't say anything, nor did she turn around. She just said "hmm" very softly.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and wanted to say something, but he felt that no matter what he said now it would be awkward, so he simply said nothing.

"Goodbye then." He turned around and planned to go back the same way. Then at this moment, a small hand patted his butt.

Lu Mingfei turned around and saw Xia Mi's jumping back: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Remember to come early tomorrow, or you'll just have to wait for leftovers!"
