Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

But Liu Ke didn't look back. He just turned the corner of the corridor and waved his hand.

------

As soon as Liu Ke left the welfare home, he received a call from Xu Si.

"Hello? Fourth brother, what's wrong?"

Xu Si on the other end of the phone hung up the phone for a long time. After more than ten seconds, he spoke: "Xiao Ke, my father is dying. He specifically asked to see you."

"I understand. I'll go to the hospital right away."

Chapter 68: Armor Takes Off

When Liu Ke arrived at the hospital, the Xu brothers, Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan were already there.

Zhang Chulan's expression was extremely ugly. It was not difficult to tell that they must have discussed something 'big' before Liu Ke came.

Hearing the sound of Liu Ke coming in, old man Xu Xiang stretched out his hand with great difficulty.

Liu Ke understood and walked straight to his side.

"Xiao Liu, this is our fourth meeting, right?"

Liu Ke was a little surprised and said, "Do you still remember that time?"

Xu Xiang uttered a difficult "Hey!" and said slowly, "It's been a while, a lot of things. I remember everything."

Afterwards, Xu Xiang patted Liu Ke lightly, then turned around with difficulty and said to Xu Si, "You decide for yourselves."

After that, he said to Liu Ke, "I have some connections in Southeast Asia. Before you leave, ask Xiao Si to pick up my old stuff. Maybe it will be useful to you."

Seeing Liu Ke nod, Xu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but the next breath was difficult to come back, and his face showed pain.

"dad!"

"Father!"

Listening to his two sons calling out, tears streamed down the corners of Old Master Xu's eyes. With a rosy glow as if he were finally rekindled, he said, "You two have been fighting since you were little. I really don't feel comfortable leaving Ah Wu to you!"

"Ah Wu. I don't want to die."

"I still want to look at you, I still want to."

Seeing that Mr. Xu's breathing was getting heavier and his eyes were becoming more and more blurry, Feng Baobao, who was beside the bed, placed her hand on the old man's head and sang a folk song.

------

In the hospital cubicle, Xu Si, with red eyes, took a puff of cigarette, told Liu Ke the conversation before Mr. Xu's death, and handed him a strange badge.

Seeing Liu Ke's shocked expression, Xu Si scratched his head and said, "Zhang Chulan's 'Qi Body Source' alone has caused such a stir in the industry. If Bao Bao's 'Immortality' is exposed, who knows what will happen to the world."

Liu Ke twitched his lips and said, "That... isn't it? Then why did you tell me? Doesn't this give us another breakthrough point?"

Xu Si twisted the butt of his cigarette and said, "There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. Some things, even if no one says them, will eventually be known."

"Rather than being on guard, I think it's better to expand the 'team'. At least we can have more trustworthy helpers."

Then Xu Si asked Liu Ke, "Are you ready for tomorrow?"

Seeing Liu Ke nod, Xu Si sighed, scratched his head, and asked, "Can you come back in a month?"

As soon as Liu Ke thought about it, he knew what the time point mentioned by Xu Si meant.

"You want me to go with you to the Luotian Ceremony?"

Seeing Xu Si nod, Liu Ke said, "I see. It shouldn't be a problem. I've caused you a lot of trouble this time, so I must pay it back."

--------

Since obtaining the 'reference book', Liu Ke's learning speed has become very fast, and he continues to fill in and acquire a lot of knowledge every day.

Making armor, crafting items, every operation, every learning seemed to have new knowledge taking root in his mind and leading to new "branches".

The result is that after only one month of studying at the university, his current course has gone from being a "fitness supplement" to being like a "mouthful of broccoli" and is now meaningless.

But even so, Liu Ke still didn't want to leave the identity of "student", which was a kind of "comfort zone" for him.

Therefore, when he was about to go abroad, he asked his company to contact the school directly, applied for an unlimited leave, and got the privilege of "passing the exam despite being absent".

After bragging a little in the dormitory, several roommates expressed their envy of his mysterious method of passing the exam.

A day later, which was the day they had agreed to take off, Liu Ke got up at around six in the morning and prepared to go out.

After washing up, Liu Ke carefully emptied the "turbid waves", explained to a few roommates, put the pendant on his chest, and left the dormitory building.

Liu Ke first went to the laboratory and carried his "Sacred Cloth Box" on his back. After returning the laboratory to "defense" mode, he walked out of the school.

Since it wasn't on their way, when they contacted Xu Si last night, they finally decided to go directly to Baishuitou to meet up. Liu Ke's mode of transportation was still the classic Didi.

Perhaps it was time to start "big work". He was in no mood to discuss "current affairs" with the Didi driver on the road today. After getting in the car, he just closed his eyes and rested.

After waiting for dozens of minutes, he arrived near Baishuitou.

Estimating the distance, Liu Ke got off the car in advance. He then walked about five miles before arriving at the agreed location, where Xu Si was already waiting.

Seeing Liu Ke coming, Xu Si took the cigarette butt out of his mouth and said, "We have to wait a little while. We are early and their observers haven't arrived yet."

Afterwards, he took another look at Liu Ke's outfit, and finding nothing particularly strange about it, he asked curiously, "Which plane are you going to conjure up next? An F-22?"

Liu Ke put the box down and sat down. He was in a good mood and asked with a smile, "Why F22?"

Xu Si smoked the cigarette butt, threw it at his feet, crushed it, and said with a smile: "I guessed it was just a guess. I think the American plane is pretty powerful."

"Hey, your special ability is really unique to Scorpion. It's much better than Xu San's stone throwing."

"Actually, back in Wujia Village, I wanted to ask you. Were those drones you transformed just borrowed shapes? Or did you actually create the real thing?"

Liu Ke was about to speak when he suddenly heard the crisp sound of tires crushing gravel in the distance, mixed with the low roar of the engine.

As the engine sound came closer, a military-plated camouflaged vehicle stopped steadily beside the two men.

A young man in casual clothes but with an upright posture pushed open the car door swiftly and jumped out from the passenger seat.

After the young man got out of the car, he waved to the soldier driving the military vehicle. After watching the vehicle drive away, he said, "Hello, comrade, I am..."

As if he had thought of something, he interrupted his own self-introduction. After a few breaths, he continued, "We're the observer for this... operation. You can call me by the code name 'Crowned Ibis.'"

Seeing Liu Ke and Xu Si nodded, he continued to ask, "Who is it?"

Before he could finish, Liu Ke pointed at himself.

Crested Ibis nodded, pulled out a thick-shelled camouflage laptop, and after a few tries, said, "If there are no other problems, we can get started."

Then he took out another military-grade surgical camera, set it up and pointed it at Liu Ke.

After adjusting the camera, Crested Ibis said, "We've already cleaned up the area."

"If you two have no objection, I will directly transmit the footage of you using your ability to build the plane. If you have any objection, we can just film the takeoff process."

Liu Ke's artificial eye glanced at the laptop, then shook his head and asked, "Do you need me to install the Luneburg lens?"

Hearing this question, the Crested Ibis was quite surprised, and then said bluntly: "No need. If we can't find you, it's our own problem."

Liu Ke nodded, then walked seven or eight steps away and placed the gray-gold "Sacred Cloth Box" flat on the ground.

As his fingertips lightly touched the biometric module, the crisp sound of a mechanical unbuttoning was instantly heard, and the box expanded, revealing the neatly arranged red and gold armor parts inside.

Seeing the familiar red and gold armor, Xu Si instantly had a less-than-friendly association. His face stiffened, cold sweat dripped down his face, and the fingers holding the cigarette trembled uncontrollably. Fine ashes fell all over his body, staining his dark gray trousers with a star-like pattern of gray.

Liu Ke glanced at the armor and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With a wave of his right hand, he activated his projection ability, and three folded robotic arms appeared at the edge of the box.

"Blackwall, start." As he whispered the order, the Ark reactor mounted on the chest armor in front of him turned from dim light to bright light.

The robotic arm suddenly started after receiving energy, and the sound of hydraulic transmission was particularly clear in this empty dock.

Liu Ke stepped out with both feet, stepped on the bottom groove of the "positioning", and was directly buckled by the foot armor.

The rear mechanical arm directly attached the waist and leg armor, and clamped the inner armor on the back and hovered behind him.

As he opened his arms, the left and right robotic arms simultaneously grabbed the corresponding components and covered his upper limbs.

The self-adjusting gear set at the elbow joint began to engage automatically, making a "click" sound to confirm positioning, and the electric screwdriver attached to the robotic arm simultaneously adjusted the limb armor.

After the limb armor is donned, the breastplate assembly is slowly lowered by the robotic arms, snapping onto the back armor. The chest and back shells seamlessly connect, and the shoulder armor assembly also slides in precisely along the pre-set trajectory.

In the final stage, the facial components were donned with the coordinated operation of three robotic arms. As the visor's "eyes" glowed blue, it signaled the Mark II was fully donned.

After putting on the iron armor, Liu Ke looked up at the Crested Ibis. A mechanical electronic voice came from the armor: "I am ready."

The 'Red-crowned Crane' next to it watched the whole process, and when it heard those words, its mouth and eyes, which were already unable to close, widened even more.

He patted his cheeks with all his strength, rubbed them hard, then looked at Xu Si beside him, and finally looked at the figure in red and gold armor.

"Comrade, you aliens can't fly here... wait a minute..."

"Eh?"

------

I didn't care about the 'Observer's' surprise, after all, this was something that had been expected.

After Liu Ke and Xu Si paid their last tribute, they turned around and muttered to themselves in their armor, "It's been so long since I built it, but this is the first time I've actually flown it."

"Master, all control surfaces are normal. Please note that the current area is under air control.

"Normal, that's the result of our communication. Get ready for takeoff."

"Okay, Master. We will follow the preset route and navigate to Guogan, Myanmar."

Chapter 69 Reagan

"By the way, Fourth Brother. If anyone comes looking for me, tell them to go to my lab. You know where it is. Thank you for your help!"

After saying his last words before leaving, Liu Ke no longer felt comfortable looking at Xu Si. He opened his hands naturally with his palms facing the ground.

call out!

As the thrusters on the hands and feet of the armor began to exert force, Liu Ke was directly sent into the air.

"I'm sorry, when I come back, I will definitely help Zhang Chulan win the Luotian Dajiao."

The shock always subsides, and after a while, the observers on the ground, 'Red-crowned Crane' and Xu Si, began to stare at each other.
