Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Of course, given the standards of modern manufacturing, the puppet machines he could create would inevitably be very rigid and useless.

But the problem is, he's the man who owns Tomoko!

Once a body capable of free movement is created, and Zhizi enters it, the puppet's power will instantly increase dramatically, and its flexibility will be unimaginably high!

More importantly, this puppet is of great use to Gendagawa.

As mentioned before, he will use his disguise skills to create more identities and cause trouble. Sesshomaru, Toga, and Lingyue Xianji will all become his aliases.

However, there are many intelligent people in this world. As he makes more and more moves, some people will inevitably become suspicious of him, which would be bad.

Therefore, under the control of Zhizi and with the help of disguise, this puppet robot can appear at the same time as him, completely eliminating everyone's suspicions!

One can imagine that when Conan began to cast a suspicious glance at Gendagawa and started staring at him, Sesshomaru and Gendagawa appeared at the same time!

Moreover, when Sesshomaru was wreaking havoc, it was Gendagawa who risked his life to save him. What would he think?

He would probably slap himself a few times, just like the old man who was hogging a seat on the bus when he found out that the person he forced to give up his seat was a disabled person.

'I deserve to die, I deserve to die…' I'm afraid I'll keep saying these things forever, I can't even imagine it.

Yusaku Kudo, the meddlesome Kaito Kid, and Heiji Hattori will also fall into the same trap. More importantly, with Tomoko checking for any flaws, he will not reveal any weaknesses.

What a brilliant plan!

However, if you want to manufacture weapons yourself, you still need a well-equipped factory. After all, no matter how skilled you are, you still need tools.

It's like this: even if your carpentry skills surpass those of the legendary master carpenter Lu Ban, you still can't chop down trees with your bare hands without a saw and an axe...

Furthermore, each character you are about to transform into will require a unique weapon.

For example, the King of Fighting's exclusive weapon, the Cloud Fang, or if he were to disguise himself as Fairy Lingyue, he would need a magnificent weapon to match his identity.

I'm such a hardworking little bee, having to play several roles all by myself, it's really not easy.

Eri Kisaki, of course, had no idea that he was full of 'despicable' thoughts; she simply thought that young people couldn't sit still and wanted to tinker with something on their own.

However, I still can't help but remind you:

"Genda, although I don't know what you're trying to do with all this, judging from your requirements, buying a place like this must be expensive, and your options are limited."

At this moment, Zhizi reminded her, "Host, you don't actually need to make such a request. You just need a suitable location. As for the equipment you need, we can easily find it at a flea market. With my guidance, you can find the most usable items from a pile of junk, and then just piece them together a bit. This way, it will definitely save you money."

Genda River's eyes lit up. "That's right, we need to broaden our thinking!"

His initial idea was to buy an existing machinery factory directly, but that would be too expensive.

However, if he could piece together a large amount of old materials like Zhizi did, the cost would be greatly reduced, so he immediately raised his requirements again.

Eri nodded: "If you don't need anything mechanical, then it's much simpler. I can help you look it up. However, your place is in an upscale residential area. Finding a quiet place that's close to that area will be quite difficult."

Genda chuckled, "That's simple. We can include all those haunted houses where people have died in them in the consideration. That should make things much easier."

Eri was somewhat surprised. Everyone else would avoid haunted houses, but this kid actually asked for one? If the conditions were that lenient, then it would be really easy to find one.

But I couldn't help asking, "Don't most people avoid haunted houses? Are you short of money?"

He sighed inwardly, never expecting that the former first heir of the Genji Group would be worried about money.

However, it's infuriating that a successful rich kid like him has fallen on hard times, while that spoiled brat from the Yamaguchi family continues to enjoy a life of luxury.

Genda River laughed and said, "There's only one reason: there are a lot of haunted houses in Beika. Since there are so many, my chances of finding a suitable house are much greater."

Chapter 156 Assembling Machinery

Eri Kisaki let out a sound of surprise, revealing a strange expression. It seemed that this kid was just bold and didn't care.

So he started working on the computer and began searching. He quickly got the results. This was why Gendagawa wanted Eri Kisaki's help. Lawyers have the authority to investigate information that is not normally easy to find.

Most importantly, Eri Kisaki should be the one to make the purchases; otherwise, some of the procedural steps are the most troublesome and disgusting.

Not to mention the various contracts, especially the property certificate, you may have to make many trips to get all sorts of messy documents, which will take a lot of time and energy.

Even though the timeline has changed, we can't waste this time.

So just leave it to Eri Kisaki to handle. As a top lawyer, she can easily take care of these things in no time.

The reason why many big bosses seem to accomplish a lot with ease is that they let professionals do professional things, and their efficiency is unmatched by laymen.

"These five places should all meet your requirements."

Genda River looked at the laptops that were turned around, pretended to look at them, and then chose one.

This is the factory building, right?

The reason why it's described as pretentious is that while Eri was narrowing down the options, Tomoko had already identified the most suitable location.

Eri pushed up her glasses, compared the houses with the others, and nodded in agreement that it was the most suitable.

Next, without any hesitation, Eri contacted the seller directly. After a brief negotiation, they agreed on a time to view the property. Since both parties were available, they arranged to go to the property in an hour.

So Genda took Eri Kisaki in his sports car and they went to the factory. After seeing it for themselves, they found it to be quite impressive.

The factory is located on the edge of Beika City, in a very quiet environment, and is close to main roads and highways.

Overall, this factory is in a somewhat remote location for opening a shop, but it's more than adequate as a processing plant.

The reason why this factory could no longer continue operating was due to a unique issue with Mihana: it was a haunted house.

A middle-aged man, having squandered his entire fortune through gambling, hanged himself in the factory where he worked.

This forced the already struggling small processing plant to shut down completely.

The seller originally wanted to conceal this fact as much as possible, since haunted houses don't fetch high prices.

However, Eri already knew this perfectly well. After another powerful round of persuasive tactics, the seller's expectations were crushed several times over, leaving them with no choice but to surrender.

The two parties reached an agreement on the sale and finally signed a sales contract at a very low price.

Then the rest was simple: one wanted to get the money in their pocket as quickly as possible, while the other wanted to finish all the procedures as soon as possible.

So in just one afternoon, the two parties completed the formalities of payment and property transfer. After receiving the keys, Genda River bought new locks and replaced all the locks in the delivery room.

To express his gratitude, he treated Eri to dinner that evening. He had originally intended to invite her to his home for dinner, partly so she could get acquainted with the place, and partly to showcase his culinary skills and strengthen their relationship.

If we bring some red wine or something, maybe they can stay overnight.

However, Eri Kisaki seemed to have seen through his thoughts and resolutely refused to go to his house. Helpless, he could only give up and take her to a more upscale restaurant for a big meal before sending her home. Only then did the matter end.

The next morning, after completing his training for the day, he went directly to the secondhand market, hired a small truck, and began scavenging for various discarded machines and parts.

With the help of Zhizi, those machines piled up and left to rust freely were no longer worthless junk, but became treasures that could be reused.

Walking through these dilapidated mechanical jungles, a strong cyberpunk vibe hits you, with technology and decay intertwined, creating a truly fantastical feeling.

It gives people the feeling that technology cannot change the quality of life, which is quite surreal.

This is actually related to the underlying logic of our entire technological life.

The progress of human civilization is the result of the accumulation of technological advancements. However, there are too many sub-fields of science and technology. Take a pencil as an example. It seems to be a very simple industrial product, but in reality, it involves a great many processes and requires the cooperation of many people and many steps to produce a usable pencil.

Take mobile phones, for example. As we all know, a seemingly ordinary mobile phone involves so many technological advancements that if we were to go into detail, the sheer number would be staggering, requiring stacks of books to explain.

The reason why it can become a tool that everyone has at a relatively low price is because human collaboration, coupled with assembly lines and other things, results in huge production volumes, which makes the cost per tool very low.

Repairing a damaged item requires tracing back the entire manufacturing process because of that one item, which would be extremely costly!

Therefore, many things in modern society cannot be repaired once they are damaged, and the cost of repair is much, much more expensive than buying a new one.

For example, aircraft maintenance is not like car maintenance, where you replace specific parts. Instead, you replace an entire module. Many areas of an aircraft are integrated, and many integrated areas have a limited lifespan, such as the engine.

After a certain period of use, the parts are replaced directly to ensure aircraft safety; it is impossible to open and repair specific parts.

However, all of this is based on cost!

If you had Tomoko, it would be a completely different story.

With a single scan, Zhizi can determine the extent of damage to the machine, and then 563 provides the most cost-effective repair solution, instantly streamlining all processes and bringing the cost close to zero!

Many mecha novels feature protagonists with similar abilities. For example, the protagonist might be born on a planet used by the Interstellar Federation to dispose of waste, and he might be naturally sensitive to these mechanical structures, always able to turn waste into treasure, repair various machines, and even manually create all sorts of powerful mechas.

But no matter how talented they are, they are nothing compared to Zhizi.

In half a day, Genda River returned with a full load. He bought many medium-sized machines, including a dilapidated machine tool, for very little money.

After transporting these 'junk' items back to the factory, they immediately began refurbishing and repairing the machinery.

Even with Tomoko's help, which allowed him to simply follow the correct steps, Gendagawa still encountered many difficulties.

After all, many things seem easy, but are actually very difficult to do.

Just like cooking, before practicing sword skills, if you can't master knife skills, no matter how well you control the heat and prepare the seasonings, you will still feel that there are flaws.

However, he has now mastered the breathing technique and also possesses powerful back muscles. Repairing these machines requires moving various machines, which is also a form of exercise.

Moreover, as time went on, under Zhizi's guidance, he learned while repairing and progressed rapidly, soon completely repairing a small forging machine that was about to be scrapped.

Chapter 157 Mile, Come in quickly!

"call---"

With the last screw tightened, the repair work on this dilapidated industrial machine tool was finally completed.

Even though Gendagawa is now very strong, able to lift machine tools and various equipment by hand, move them easily, and repair them in the absolutely correct order, saving a lot of time.
