Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

The red-crowned crane didn't have much of an appetite today. He just held a bowl of fried liver in his left hand and a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge in his right hand, watching the news and drinking as he did so.

Liu Ke took a large plate of salted duck eggs and a bowl of millet porridge and was doing the "preparation process".

What he found regrettable was that the native Beijinger next to him had no intention of demonstrating the authentic Beijing way of eating fried liver, 'eating it in circles'.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

For some reason, after the news broadcast this part, the red-crowned crane rolled its eyes and burst into laughter.

Liu Ke, who was peeling duck eggs, glanced at him and looked at the big screen curiously, but he didn't understand.

"What are you laughing at? Is there anything funny?"

Hearing Liu Ke's question, the crested ibis shook his head and replied passionately, "Nothing, I'm just happy about the upcoming improvement in people's living standards."

Liu Ke shook his head and continued working when the other party didn't explain clearly.

He was picking out the yolk of a salted duck egg.

When all eight duck egg yolks on the plate were dug out, Liu Ke's mouth couldn't help but salivate. He could no longer hold back and put them all into his mouth one by one.

He chewed it for a while and found it soft, dense, oily and smooth, and he couldn't help but look satisfied.

The crested ibis was also a little surprised when he saw this, and asked, "Won't your cholesterol be high if you eat like this?"

Liu Ke was slightly embarrassed and said, "I... used to like to eat breakfast like this whenever I stayed in a hotel while traveling."

"I'm an Inhuman now. Physically speaking, I should be... fine."

Crested Ibis looked a bit skeptical, but nodded and said, "There must be hundreds of aliens in this 'pond,' and I've never seen them eat like you."

Liu Ke asked doubtfully, "How can there be so many strange people here?"

Crested Ibis raised an eyebrow and replied, "Of course, you can probably guess what they are responsible for."

"We're not the only ones like this. The White House, the Clyde Palace, Downing Street, the Elysee Palace—which one isn't like this? You may not believe it, but when it comes to pomp and circumstance, we're the most 'simple'."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at his watch and asked casually, "How is the environment here?"

Liu Ke raised his head, wiped the duck egg oil from his mouth with a tissue, and savored the taste with his tongue. He said, "It's good. It tastes good."

The crested ibis rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "If you like Gaoyou duck eggs, I can have someone go to the Ministry of Supply and bring you a whole basket."

"Don't just say 'eat', okay? You know that's not what I'm asking."

Liu Ke didn't rush to answer. He first put a bowl of [Millet Braised Sea Cucumber] into his mouth, which was filled with the aroma of meat. Then he replied, "It's all fine. It feels more comfortable than a five-star hotel, although I have never stayed in a five-star hotel."

The crested ibis opened its mouth slightly. Although Liu Ke's answer was still irrelevant to the question, he had roughly guessed what the other party was thinking based on this metaphor alone.

This "great inventor" probably doesn't want to stay here for long.

In fact, he was not surprised. This answer had already been predicted in the "Internal Security Department's" psychological assessment report on Liu Ke.

In particular, not all scholars studying internal research are willing to live in this "Golden Silk Building" permanently.

But then again, Liu Ke is different from ordinary "internal research"...

Crested Ibis shook his head, no longer prepared to worry about others. He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Seeing Liu Ke immediately nod his head in fear, Crested Ibis also laughed softly and said, "That's normal. If it were me who went to see [him], I would be afraid too."

Liu Ke laughed awkwardly and asked, "You have to go with me today, right?"

The crested ibis shook his head and said, "Only today, I'm not needed. Even if I were, I wouldn't dare go."

"I won't say much else, but I'll just remind you: Don't eat lunch. Your dinner tonight is much more exquisite than this shabby restaurant, so save some space."

------

Three days later, Beijing High-Speed ​​Railway Station.

Liu Keyang sat in a seat in the waiting area, staring blankly at the big screen at the station.

It's the Capital Railway Station, so it's normal to have a lot of people, and there are also many ordinary people sitting around Liu Ke.

But what he didn't notice was that the 'common people' around him all had sharp and bright eyes as they scrutinized the passers-by.

Liu Ke smacked his lips a few times. Ever since he walked out of that door, his whole body and mind felt like he had received an exquisite spa treatment, and he was enjoying the long-lost feeling of relaxation.

Sitting on the seat to his left was Red Ibis, the guide of Liu Ke's trip to the capital.

At this moment, he was also wearing casual clothes, holding a few specialty gift boxes in his left hand, all from Daoxiangcun and Quanjude.

Compared to the "high-spirited" look of the past few days, the expression on Red Crowned Ibis's face has disappeared and has been replaced with "disbelief".

A few minutes later, he couldn't help but ask Liu Ke: "Are you really leaving?"

Liu Ke turned around, nodded quickly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Let's go."

"I've taught you almost everything. Whether you understand or not... as long as you can build a reactor, that's fine."

"What's the point of learning so much? I still need to improve."

The crested ibis scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What...are you thinking?"

"Neiyan is willing to let you go, but what about you? Do you want to get out too? Do you think the treatment is not good enough?"

Liu Ke narrowed his eyes, shook his hands, and put them on his legs again, saying, "I can hardly bear such treatment. Unfortunately, I am an extraordinary person."

The crested ibis rolled its eyes and said unhappily, "We're pretty familiar with each other, could you please stop talking nonsense?"

"What the hell is this? Are aliens not human?"

Liu Ke laughed a few times, and felt that his answer was too nonsensical, so he cleared his throat and asked, "Brother Guo, putting aside the facts..."

Before he could finish, Crested Ibis interrupted him speechlessly, "Can you ignore the facts?"

Liu Ke raised his eyebrows and nodded, then continued nonchalantly, "As an ordinary college student."

At this point, Liu Ke pointed at the three words on the cigarette pack in Crested Ibis's trouser pocket and continued, "Working here is even more ridiculous to me than discovering the existence of [Aliens] in the world. It doesn't feel real."

Liu Ke raised the corner of his mouth and said, "If I were in my forties or fifties, I might not want to come out in my next life."

"But I'm only eighteen. What's eighteen?"

Crested Ibis sighed and added, "Eat at twelve, and you're hungry at half past twelve? I've watched 'Soldiers Assault' a hundred times."

"You mean, you're looking for something new?"

Liu Ke, whose words were guessed, was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "That's about right... Anyway, I can't stay here."

The crested ibis turned his head to look outside and murmured, "What the hell is..."

“People who are in a good situation don’t know how to appreciate it. Those in the city want to leave, and those outside the city want to get in.”

Liu Ke chuckled twice and said, "They are inside, and I am outside. We are both serving the people..."

The crested ibis turned around and frowned, saying, "That sounds familiar, but why do I feel like there's something strange about what you're saying?"

Liu Ke coughed, then pointed at his head and said, "Besides, this is just my talent, not my hobby."

"If I don't go out and mingle, I really have no inspiration!"

“Genius is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration!”

"Without inspiration, I can sweat every day but get no results."

Crested Ibis put on an old man's subway expression and said, "You can fool me with that, but you wouldn't say the same thing to him, would you?"

Liu Ke chuckled and didn't reply. He took the gift box from Crested Ibis and said, "The car is here. I have to leave first."

The crested ibis nodded and waved his hand, saying, "I'll have to wait another two days."

But before Liu Ke had gone far, the crested ibis listened to his instructions and finally asked, "Did you want to hide at first?"

Liu Ke stopped, turned around, looked complicated, and nodded again.

Crested Ibis sighed, listened to the words in the headset, and continued to ask: "Then why did you expose it again?"

Liu Ke looked around and was silent for a long time before answering, "I just think that the people who were deceived there should also be hoping to be rescued."

The crested ibis narrowed his eyes and finally asked, "You knew something was wrong when you flew to Myanmar. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Liu Ke chuckled softly and said, "Didn't I leave all my stuff behind? Someone will figure it out by following the instructions."

After saying that, he waved his hand and quickly plunged into the crowd of people queuing up. His cheap clothes made it difficult to distinguish him from others.

After the team had left the platform, Crested Ibis pulled the device out of his ear canal and asked, pressing his tongue, "...Are you satisfied?"

------

The railway between Tianjin and Beijing has frequent services, and occasionally there are very few passengers in the carriages.

Liu Ke was lucky enough to get on a carriage with few people.

Soon after he sat down, a girl sat down next to him.

Liu Ke glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye and happened to see her watching the live broadcast, and was attracted by the content.

------

"Now, please give the floor to the representative from the North Country."

The Northern diplomatic representative in the video fiddled with the microphone before speaking: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the issue we are discussing today is the U.S. military's surprise attack on Myanmar last week."

After a long series of procedures, the Northland representative applied to play a video.

In the footage, in the first few seconds, we can clearly see Sean, Xiao Chong, Ceso, and Joseph forcefully demolishing and attacking the Burmese industrial park, showing their barbaric nature, and the subsequent raid by the Navy SEALs all prove their identities.

The American representative was a fat black woman with messy hair, looking like a silly black housewife.

When she saw the content of the video, she nodded with great satisfaction.

After the video provided by Northland finished playing, she began her speech in a Florida accent during the process: "Please watch the video as well."

The US representative said: "You should have seen that the only difference between the two videos is that our video has added special effects."

"Obviously, this is a tidbit from Marvel's latest film, but it was cut out for the sake of high standards of film art."

……

As soon as she finished speaking, the North Country representative spoke again: "I didn't want to speak again, but the US representative's explanation of this military action is too ridiculous and a simple whitewash."

"She is just laying the groundwork for implementing a veto later."

……

After another five or six minutes of criticism, the American representative spoke again, saying with a smile: "What the North Korean representative said makes a lot of sense."
