Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 257 Clone
"Are you our BOSS?"

"Lilith, don't be rude!" The man wearing a helmet with a size 01, a slender figure, and a long hooded sweater with the word "正" printed on the back, looked at the cute short-haired big-eyed beautiful woman wearing single-ear headphones and a tight jumpsuit beside him with a serious face. After scolding, he saluted to Xia Che and said, "Hello, Boss, I am the No. 01 clone of Begabank, you can also call me Shakya!"

"I'm Begabank's clone number 03, my name is Edison."

"I, I'm No. 05, Atlas."

"No. 04, Pythagoras, BOSS."

"Hahaha, I'm number 02, Lilith!"

"Hello everyone!"

Looking at the five people in front of him who were created by Vegapunk but had completely different personalities, Xia Che also greeted them with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Where is Vegapunk?"

"We are all Vegapunk! BOSS." After hearing Xia Che's words, Shakya, who represented integrity, reminded Xia Che a little, and then said, "Of course, I think you are looking for the real body. The real body is in the back and is now organizing the new equipment. You can go in and find him directly."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and made a respectful gesture, inviting Xia Che to come in. Xia Che did not continue chatting with the five Vegapunks and walked straight inside.

Just ...

As he walked along, Xia Che couldn't help but frown as he looked at the winding underground laboratory.

I haven't been here for a while. Has this place gotten bigger?

"The main body and we have slightly expanded the underground laboratory these days, and we have also expanded the basement. After all, with so many people, the original laboratory is still a little small for so many Vegapunks!" And Shakya seemed to see Xia Che's confusion at once, and said directly, "Now it is connected to the sea below. Of course, please rest assured that after our transformation, seawater will not flow back in. In addition, a new type of high-pressure resistant diamond glass jointly researched by us and Mr. Walpo is used there, which allows us to directly observe the sea. Boss, do you want to take a look?"

"Yes, Boss, it's very beautiful there." The somewhat lively Lilith said with a smile, "If your funding increases a little more, I can personally take you there to visit!"

"Lilith, don't use this to force the BOSS." Hearing Lilith's words, the righteous Shakyamuni still helplessly scolded Lilith and said, "Otherwise, I will report to the main body. Don't blame the main body for deducting your salary again."

"That's right, Lilith, you have to respect the boss! The main body said that it's hard to find such a generous boss!"

"Okay!" Hearing that even Atlas said this to her, Lilith compromised without waiting for Xia Che to say anything, and said helplessly, "I just want more funds. I'm also planning to capture a few sea kings for research!"

"Please don't blame Lilith." Shakya turned around and looked at Xia Che again, saying, "After all, there are too many Vegapunks and the budget is indeed a bit tight, but Boss, don't worry about us. We can still survive if we endure it."

"..."

Immediately afterwards...

Five faces looked at him.

Facing the five Vegapunks, Xia Che couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Although Shakya was scolding Lilith, but... he always felt that these five Vegapunks were deliberately looking for topics to increase his funding?

"This..." Xia Che coughed twice, looked at the Vegapunk clone in front of him, and said, "Increase the funding..."

He stretched out the last syllable, continued to look at the five faces that were looking at him expectantly, then changed his tone and said seriously, "Let's talk about it later. First let me see if you have been working hard during this period!"

As soon as these words fell.

really.

The five Vegapunks immediately showed disappointment on their faces, and even the robot No. 04 Pythagoras could see disappointment on his face. Of course, although the Vegapunks were very disappointed because they did not get the funds, Shakya quickly recovered and continued to lead Xia Che inside.

During the journey, they also took a detour and went underground. I have to say, the five Vegapunks are incredible!
This is not continuing the expansion at the bottom of the island!
They just dug a passage to the bottom of the sea, and then built a basement directly in the sea.

And just as Lilith said, all the surroundings are made of transparent new high-pressure resistant diamond glass. Through the clear glass, you can clearly see the sea outside, and even the fish swimming.

An underwater experiment that is no less important than an underground laboratory on a small island!
At the same time, the laboratory’s prison is now set up here, so that seawater can be used directly to restrict people with special abilities, which improves safety while reducing costs.

Under the leadership of Sakya, Xia Che was once again shocked by this already familiar experimental island.

No wonder there is a lack of funds!
The six Vegapunks got together and caused a huge disaster on this island!

Various advanced technologies are everywhere, of course, according to Lilith, that is the technology of the future.

However, this was refuted by Shakya, who said that after research... it seemed that there was more advanced technology in the ancient times, and they were just restoring the past technology step by step.

Finally, after a brief tour, accompanied by five Vegapunks, Xia Che came to the laboratory where Vegapunk himself was.

Just walked in.

"Are you here?" Vegapunk came up excitedly and said, "How is the laboratory that the Vegapunks specially modified? Did it surprise you? There are many amazing inventions in it."

"I am indeed shocked, but..." After hearing what Vegapunk said, Xia Che nodded and said seriously, "How much do those inventions cost? What is the output? Can they be mass-produced? How much profit can they bring us?"

As soon as these words fell.

Suddenly.

Vegapunk's face, which had been full of pride, suddenly fell.

Even Lilith complained directly, "Boss, you really spoil the fun!"

"I have no choice. I have to support your research." Xia Che spread his hands and said helplessly, "Don't you see how much money you spend every year?"

In particular, he did not force Vegapunk to do research too much, but sometimes gave him some rigid invention requirements.

Therefore, to the extent that...

This guy sometimes lets himself go. When an idea comes to his head, he will just make it without caring whether the thing is useful or how much it costs.

Of course, it’s not completely useless. Even if it’s useless now, maybe it can be useful in the future?

So, just treat it as a technical reserve.

Save it and take it out when you need it in the future.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Looking at the five Vegapunk clones who looked lost and the melancholy Vegapunk himself, Xia Che asked curiously, "Why did you call me here this time? If you have any new inventions, just show them! Maybe..." His tone changed, "The funding has increased?"

As soon as these words fell.

The six Vegapunks' eyes lit up, and they said in unison, "Yes!"
