White armor

Chapter 423 Swearing by the Songhua River
Shen Zizai paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, looking worried and anxious.

"Zizai, what are you doing?" Chen Yan asked, twirling his beard.

"I'm so anxious, Director Geng, why are you here so late?"

"..."

Chen Yan looked at Shen Zizai as if he was an idiot.

How could Shen Zizai complain about Director Geng Qiang? In the entire province, there was only one person who could address Geng Qiang as Director Geng without being polite.

No, there are two people, and one of them is Luo Hao.

Tourists come in an endless stream. Although it is not the Ice and Snow Festival yet, the development results of tourism projects have begun to show.

Taoist Priest Qi has already started working. Although he has a sad face, he still sits upright and interprets the divination for the tourists.

Even though Taoist Master Qi was unwilling and felt that the interpretation of the divination disturbed his meditation, Shen Zizai approached and listened to Taoist Master Qi's explanation, feeling very happy.

They were all auspicious words. Even if it was a bad fortune, Taoist Qi could make it sound very exciting, making people feel that it was just a small bump in life and after getting over it, it would be the road to success.

And Shen Zizai also noticed one thing - it doesn't cost money to interpret the fortune.

If Shen Zizai didn't know the price of Chen Yong's prayer, it would be hard for him to understand why there was such a big difference between here and the temple.

Half an hour later, Geng Qiang and several people in executive jackets went up the mountain.

Chen Yong and Geng Qiang were also very familiar with each other, and Chen Yong introduced to Geng Qiang what Luo Hao was doing.

"Bamboo is in class?"

"Yes, isn't there a red-crowned crane injured in the Zhalong Nature Reserve in Changnan? Its lower beak is broken and it can't eat anymore."

Chen Yong briefly recounted what had happened.

just.

What he said was similar to ancient mythology, mixed with many Taoist terms.

Not only Shen Zizai and Chen Yan didn't understand, Geng Qiang didn't understand either.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Chen Yong is just talking about it casually. He will probably understand it after taking them to see the bamboo.

"Doctor Chen, is Professor Luo here too?"

"Well, he was watching from the side. Otherwise, the red-crowned crane might be killed by the bamboo. Although they are both first-class protected animals, the final blame still falls on Luo Hao. He is a dog."

"..."

No one was sure what the outcome of the fight between these first-class nationally protected animals would be.

"Zhu Zi must be telling the red-crowned crane that you have to continue because I'm giving you face. Otherwise, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"???"

“Is this so humane?”

"That's about the same. In fact, it's pretty much the same. Yesterday I saw Zhuzi and the red-crowned crane talking to each other, and they were talking about the same thing."

"!!!"

Everyone was curious about how Bamboo taught the red-crowned cranes.

We walked through mountains and hills for more than half an hour. The temperature around us was getting lower and lower, and the forest was getting quieter and quieter.

The autumn cicadas are chirping weakly, and the leaves are colorful.

The sunlight shines through the leaves, falling on everyone in patches, as if they were on a pilgrimage.

"It's a pity that the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains are ridges, not mountains. If the Greater Khingan Mountains could be 1000 meters higher and block the cold currents from Siberia, our Northeast wouldn't be so cold."

Shen Zizai tightened his clothes and muttered softly.

"It's okay. We've entered a period of global warming. In the future, the temperature south of the Yangtze River will be like India, with 50 degrees Celsius outside. Our Northeast is a livable place. If we take back Siberia, we will even have an outlet to the Arctic Ocean." Chen Yan said with a smile.

"Indians are really awesome. I'm convinced. When the European travel blogger couple was raped in India, I took a look at the weather and it was over 50 degrees. This summer, I can't leave the air-conditioned room if it's over 30 degrees. I think I've become a dehydrated person if it's over 50 degrees."

"You are a human being, and so are they." Chen Yan said, "A few days ago, an Indian female doctor was raped and her thigh bone was broken. I read the news and did some research. Are these people sick?"

"What? Broken femur? How did it break? Are you such a beast? No wonder Xiao Luo said that even car exhaust pipes are not safe in India, it's true." Shen Zizai was stunned.

"It was broken downwards, and it should be easier to lift it in that position. Who knows, maybe Indians like to kill people cruelly."

"150ml, I can't even think about it. No wonder Ronaldinho came back and said that even the exhaust pipes of cars on that side are not safe. I remember many years ago Gao Dazui said that side was peaceful. I really want him to go to India and get 150ml of pout."

"Oh, that person is sick, just a second-rate person..."

When Chen Yan climbed up the mountain, he felt as if his neck was being strangled by an invisible pair of hands, and he could not hold back any words he wanted to say.

There was a flat land at the foot of the mountain. Zhuzi was sitting on the ground, eating a bamboo shoot in his hand.

And in front of it...

"Kekeke~~~"

Everyone's throat made a meaningless gurgling sound.

In front of the bamboo is a red-crowned crane, sitting cross-legged, as if it is seriously picking bamboo and eating bamboo shoots.

Behind the red-crowned cranes are hundreds of owls.

I’m afraid that all the owls nearby will come over to listen to the bamboo’s “class” together.

The owl also sat cross-legged, its two big eyes rolling around.

Gan!
Are owls' legs so long? They can sit cross-legged?!
This thought came to everyone's mind.

Everyone understands that red-crowned cranes can sit cross-legged, but it turns out that owls can do it too. Moreover, judging from their body proportions, owls' legs are even longer than those of red-crowned cranes.

This is beyond our daily understanding.

"Shh~~~" Chen Yong was not surprised. He put his right hand in front of the mask and made a gesture to keep quiet.

"Zhu Zi is in class, let's not go down for the time being."

Attend class?

Eat bamboo shoots?
What kind of shitty class is this!

Everyone's eyes were on the red-crowned cranes and hundreds of owls.

Luo Hao and Wang Jiani were sitting not far away. Zhu Da was in Wang Jiani's arms, calling out to her fingers and whispering something.

After eating the bamboo shoots, the bamboo seemed very satisfied. It landed on all fours and walked around the flock of birds.

All the birds, including the red-crowned cranes, were like students in an elementary school classroom. They were silent, staring quietly ahead, not daring to move.

The classroom discipline is very good.

Zhuzi finally returned to the red-crowned crane, raised his bear paw and rubbed the crane's head like Luo Hao did.

With the naked eye, it was visible that the red-crowned crane's entire body began to tremble and its eyes began to roll back, showing signs of being on the verge of death. However, even so, it did not dare to move.

Zhuzi was quite satisfied with this. He turned around and let out a low growl.

A robot dog from Tencent appeared. Its cosplay looked like bamboo, but compared with real bamboo, it looked very rough and at least 3 sizes smaller.

Zhuzi called the robot panda, led it in front of the red-crowned crane, and growled.

The red-crowned crane lowered its long neck as if communicating with the bamboo.

"Pa pa~" Luo Hao clapped his hands, "Alright, that's it."

When Zhuzi heard Luo Hao's call, he suddenly stood up and roared, as if warning the red-crowned crane for the last time.

At the same time, everyone saw black and white colors spreading on the bamboo.

But the distance was too far and they felt their eyes were blurry. But if they looked carefully, they could see that the bamboo's belly was "thicker".

"What is that?" Geng Qiang murmured.

"It's the liquid metal bellyband that Luo Hao prepared for Zhuzi. Let's call it armor, bellyband sounds too ugly."

"You call that thing a bellyband?" Geng Qiang was surprised.

"He said it was armor, but I don't think so. It's not amazing at all. But the armor was better at the beginning, much better." Chen Yong was quite dissatisfied with the armor designed by Qi Yuanliang's research team.

"..."

Geng Qiang said it was hard to accept this kind of sci-fi stuff appearing before his eyes.

"Doctor Chen, is this...reliable?"

"What's unreliable? The lower beak of a red-crowned crane? 3D printing has been around for many years, and factories are now almost using it. I wish everything could be 3D printed in the future to save time and effort."

"The robot panda is unreliable? The robot dog has been taken to Cambodia. It's just a cosplay of bamboo, just a change of skin, no big deal."

"As for the liquid metal, hasn't the surgery been done? That student named Chen Jiao. To be honest, except that more liquid metal is used, the difficulty of turning into armor is incomparable to that of surgery."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

"Before the operation, Luo Hao occupied the computer of the University of Technology and ran the data for 12 hours before he came to the conclusion. At that time, the old professors of the University of Technology were furious and said that if Luo Hao did not give up the computer, he would be cut into pieces!"

"Uh, so serious?"

"They wanted to use computers to run space station data, and we couldn't compete with them. Luo Hao approached many bosses and finally asked for 12 hours after much persuasion."

"!!!"

"!!!"

"We should quickly build a data center in Beijiang Province. Then you can run away wherever you want. I will build a set of Saint Seiya armor for Zhuzi! Then you can wear whatever Saint armor you want."

The previous second, Chen Yong was still talking seriously about Luo Hao competing with the old professors of the University of Technology for supercomputing equipment.

The next second, Chen Yong began to talk about the transformation of liquid metal into a golden battle suit.

Bamboo, golden battle suit, transformation.

This isn't science fiction anymore. Geng Qiang could even vaguely see Zhuzi standing on Central Avenue performing the Saint Seiya transformation for the tourists.

If Luo Hao is willing, this year's Ice and Snow Festival will be a hit.

The mechanical panda in front of him, which was three sizes smaller, was given to Li Changming by Luo Hao. Zhuzi stood behind him, staring at the red-crowned crane with his little eyes.

This scene seemed to prove something.

A robotic panda, this was totally unimaginable a few years ago.

At that time, HIT sent a robot to participate in the world competition, and its opponents were still Benzi and Boston Dynamics.

In just a few years, the book has completely fallen into disuse, and Boston Dynamics has simply given in, revising its technology route from scratch to follow the domestic technology route.

It’s not as simple as whether to open source or not.

These sci-fi scenes appeared before everyone's eyes, and everyone was speechless.

Luo Hao gave the mechanical panda with the scent of bamboo to Li Changming, shook hands with him formally, and reached out to rub the red-crowned crane.

But the red-crowned crane dodged subconsciously, and before it could turn its head, its mouth was pried open by the bamboo behind Luo Hao, who held its lower beak as if he was going to tear it to pieces in the next second.

From a distance, Luo Hao rubbed the red-crowned crane and then patted the bamboo.

Zhuzi let go of the crane's lower beak and roared. The crane's entire body was sore and weak that it couldn't even stand up, let alone fly.

Li Changming was holding a red-crowned crane. He was a little afraid of bamboo. He thanked Luo Hao and left in a hurry.

Ferocious beast, Bamboo is the real ferocious beast at this moment, proving that the almost extinction of Qinling jackals after being killed is not a rumor.

Although the red-crowned crane had left, the hundreds of owls sitting cross-legged behind the bamboo remained motionless, as if they were new toy puppets from Tencent.

"Those are also machines... drones? Or robot birds?" Shen Zizai didn't understand and asked Chen Yong in a low voice.

"I don't know." Chen Yong spread his hands.

Seeing Luo Hao walking towards them holding Wang Jiani's hand, Zhuzi got on all fours, twisted her butt and followed Luo Hao, occasionally trying to rub Luo Hao's other hand with her head.

Wang Jiani held Zhu Da in her arms, and Zhu Da kept crying.

This scene is so loving.

The bamboo no longer had the ferocity it had when facing the red-crowned crane, and now looked more like a domestic pet.

When he came closer, Chen Yong greeted him with a smile.

"Without Dahei, I always feel like something is missing." Chen Yong said with a smile.

"Dahei is on a mission." Luo Hao replied calmly, "Although the police dogs have retired, they always want to perform missions."

“Does a police dog know that he is a dog?”

"They never think of themselves as dogs, they are police dogs." Luo Hao explained in awkward language.

Coming in front of everyone, Luo Hao let go of Wang Jiani's hand and reached out to Geng Qiang.

"Brother Qiang, here I come."

"Those..." Geng Qiang did not shake hands with Luo Hao, but pointed at the hundreds of owls.

"It's a real owl. It's probably scared by the bamboo and dares not move." Luo Hao smiled, "It's okay. This is their habit. After we leave, they will fly away on their own after a while."

"Where did they come from?"

"I was scared by the bamboo."

"Scared?" Geng Qiang was stunned.

"What Bamboo learned in Qinling Mountains was mainly to find flying birds to help it find bamboo shoots, so as to save itself the trouble. Bamboo, why are you so lazy!" When Luo Hao finished speaking, he turned around and scolded Bamboo.

"嘤嘤嘤~~~"

Zhuzi no longer had the ferocity he had before. He lay on the ground with his neck raised, looking at Luo Hao and whimpering.

"Huh~~~" Geng Qiang let out a long sigh.

Luo Hao did not continue to scold, but reached out and rubbed Zhuzi's head.

The bamboo lay on the ground with its four legs facing the sky and its belly exposed.

"Brother Qiang, have you found the team for the promotional video?" Luo Hao didn't have time to play with Zhuzi, so he started asking Geng Qiang about serious matters.

"Well, we've already found it."

"What do you think of my opinion?"

"You can try. There's still time. If it doesn't work, you can try another one."

The two of them chatted casually and took the bamboo back.

Shen Zizai was confused after listening to this. Is Zhuzi going to shoot a promotional video?

"Boss Zhou will arrive tomorrow. I will take him to the farm in Hulin. Boss Zhou has contacted an agricultural company there. They are all military units left over from the past land reclamation. Although they are no longer considered militias, they are still more familiar."

"It's up to you. We just need too many robot pandas..."

"It's okay. Tencent is the one that provided the funding. Tencent's robot dog was a big hit at the World Robot Competition a few days ago. It's said that Tencent can copy anything." Luo Hao laughed.

"Have you signed the contract?"

"No, Tencent and I said it in front of the Songhua River. I swore an oath pointing at the Songhua River. Usually, such things are very serious and they won't stand me up."

"!!!"

Geng Qiang looked helpless.

"There's no rush for the contract. Let's talk about it first. Manager Yin has already signed a contract with Tencent." Luo Hao said calmly.

"Xiao Luo! Pay attention to the spirit of the contract!" Geng Qiang's tone was a little harsh.

"Oh, Brother Qiang, I think the boss from Tencent is pretty good. He's really powerful."

"He swore by the Wei River, but in the end he still killed the king in the street." Geng Qiang said with disdain.

"But the Sima family didn't end up well either. They were a big family in the past. Sima Yi lived to be 73, and his brother Sima Fu lived to be 92. After the Luoshui Oath, Sima Shi died at 48, and Sima Yan lived to be 55. But his descendants Sima Zhong lived to be 48, Sima Chi lived to be 30, and Sima Ye lived to be only 18."

"..."

"Let's not talk about this. A few years ago, there was a TV series that whitewashed Sima Yi, and then someone got into trouble. This is the subsequent impact of swearing by the Luo River. They don't believe it, but I do.

Besides, most people in the circle believe it, so you can rest assured."

Luo Hao said seriously.

"The Yangtze River has its own spiritual energy. We must keep our word. It's okay, Brother Qiang. Don't worry. There will be no mistakes."

This is simply a joke, and Geng Qiang felt a little upset.

"Don't worry, Manager Yin is signing the contract and said everything is going well, and Tencent has made some concessions."

"Oh?! Tencent is not easy to talk to, Nanshan Shengbi Ke, I'm kidding."

"You know that soybeans will be grown in the Far East next year."

Luo Hao said something strange.

Geng Qiang didn't laugh when he heard this, but his expression became solemn instead.

"Who knows what will happen to Russia, but now it seems that this is the will of the state. Tencent knows its priorities and who it can and cannot bully."

"..."

"Don't worry, after we have Boss Zhou come to shoot the promotional video this time, we can further deepen our cooperation with Tencent. There will be absolutely no problem."

Geng Qiang chatted with Luo Hao for a few more sentences, and suddenly he saw the person next to him stop. He looked back and was also stunned.

Behind me, hundreds of owls that were sitting cross-legged in the mountains and fields began to "stand up".

They seemed to have come to their senses, but instead of flying, they just "stood" up.

Those legs!

Below the neck, some are even deformed.

But their legs seemed to be dangling, which looked a bit strange from a distance.

"Xiao Luo, what is that?"

"Owl, I don't know where Zhuzi learned this, but just shout and the owl and other birds will fly over." Luo Hao was also helpless.

"..."

Geng Qiang was speechless.

"Brother Qiang, you are asking why owls' legs are so long." Luo Hao smiled.

"Yeah, I can't usually tell, but when I saw them sitting cross-legged just now, I thought they were new figures or toys from Tencent, but I didn't expect them to be real."

“From an owl’s anatomy, they have extremely long legs.

Owls that look fat and plump are actually just pretending to be fat because they have evolved feathers with micro-nano structures. Their bodies are streamlined and 90% of their bodies are covered with feathers.

Their feathers are very dense, soft and fluffy, and even the feathers on their wings have dense velvety down.

In addition to keeping warm, the most important function of this feather is to act as a silencer. Therefore, the frequency of sound waves generated by an owl when flying is less than 1 kHz, ensuring that the owl flies silently.

When their feathers are lifted, we can see a pair of long legs that are in stark contrast to their appearance."

"It is normal for an owl to sit cross-legged. In fact, proportionally speaking, an owl's legs are longer than those of a red-crowned crane."

Luo Hao explained to Geng Qiang.

Geng Qiang was silent.

"This is an accident. I didn't expect Zhuzi to have learned new skills in Qinling Mountains. Maybe there is murderous aura in him? I don't understand." Luo Hao said frankly.

"Okay." Geng Qiang was helpless. Luo Hao said a lot, but he didn't say a word about what he wanted to know most.

"I just have a plan for the documentary and promotional video, but I don't have time to make it because of the tight schedule. But don't worry, brother Qiang, I will only shoot twice, at most three days, and I will go to Hulin next weekend."

"Jiansanjiang can also be considered. After all, the big boss was investigating Jiansanjiang at that time."

"That's why I discussed with Boss Zhou and decided not to consider Jiansanjiang. I know what you mean, but if Boss Zhou comes this time, we still have to avoid suspicion."

Luo Hao persisted.

It doesn't matter, as long as it is a grain planting base in the province, what is the difference between Hulin's agricultural company and Jiansanjiang? For Geng Qiang, there is no difference, they are exactly the same.

Geng Qiang turned around and watched one owl after another fly up and leave tremblingly.

They are indeed living creatures.

But because of this, it is even more incomprehensible to see hundreds of owls watching bamboo train red-crowned cranes.

Maybe Luo Hao has his own magic, Geng Qiang thought.

As for the promotional video, Geng Qiang didn't care much about it. It had nothing to do with the Ice and Snow Festival project, so he left it to Luo Hao.

His entire attention is on the Ice and Snow Festival.

A few days ago, a warm-up project for the Ice and Snow Festival was launched - the Provincial Capital Marathon.

In addition to making the event distinctive, warming up for the Ice and Snow Festival is also a major attraction.

But there are several statistics that surprised Geng Qiang - the sales of bamboo-related products are very hot, and the number of visitors to the exhibition is also very high.

Before the actual Ice and Snow Festival even started, the queue at the Haodong Panda Pavilion lasted for 3 hours.

From this, Geng Qiang sees hope that this year's Ice and Snow Festival will be even better than previous years!

This is real ability!
Although I borrowed Luo Hao's power, luck is also a part of strength, isn't it?

"Brother Qiang, do you like owls?" Luo Hao asked.

"No, I just feel it's weird. The little guys look so strange." Geng Qiang collected his thoughts and chatted with Luo Hao.

"Haha." Luo Hao just laughed. He didn't know how the bamboo could attract so many owls to sit cross-legged and watch it training the red-crowned cranes.

"That red-crowned crane can eat now, right?"

"Not only can it eat, but it can also fight fiercely. Qingqing's 3D-printed lower beak is too strong and too sharp, so let the bamboo train it and find a natural enemy for it. Then give Li Changming a mechanical panda with the scent of bamboo. If that doesn't work, the red-crowned crane can only be given..."

"Barbecue?"

"zoo."

"Hahaha, not really, not really." Geng Qiang laughed loudly. He felt that Luo Hao was making a fuss out of nothing. He saw with his own eyes how scared the red-crowned crane was just now.
