Chapter 129 I'll Call You Aegis

The days in PLANT go by quickly.

By November, He Kui's Space Industrial Contractor successfully obtained the qualification and the contract.

"The formalities have been basically completed. Please take a look at it. According to the contract, we will be paid 700506 million yuan for the excavation rights of the asteroid Tannin as long as we successfully complete the excavation within one month."

He Kui listened to Hoss's report and the asteroid in front of him, which was about half the size of a basketball court, and nodded with satisfaction.

After all the preliminary preparations, they only had 5 million left. The loss of fuel and aircraft was acceptable, but the wages of Hawke and his men were not.
Although the 10 million still needs to be used to pay taxes and give them bonuses, the remaining 10 million may only be a few million for him.

But it won’t be too much of a loss.

He Kui read the contract carefully and signed on the screen without much hesitation.

The presence of Hoss also saved him the pain of having to distract himself with managing the company.

He Kui also gloriously became a hands-off boss.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Hearing He Kui's words, Huo Si had an expression that you know.

But soon he became serious again.

"Our sudden rise this time has made others unhappy."

"I heard from the miners we dug here that their attitude is very bad and they may deliberately hinder our work."

He Kui's connections in the mining industry were always shallow, so it was natural that he could not avoid being bullied.

In these matters, the party that is causing trouble will usually take care of the relationship with the PLANT Mining Union in advance. They will not intervene, and even if they do, they will try to smooth things over.

"is it serious?"

"Provocative language."

"Don't worry about it for now."

His name is still somewhat useful, and the other party doesn't dare to do anything too obvious.

When he has greater authority and stronger power, those people will naturally shut up.

Therefore, instead of spending time managing the company, it is better to unlock more technologies by using goodwill.

"How are antimatter weapons doing lately?"

"Well, the positron cannon you mentioned is indeed theoretically feasible, but we have no idea about the magnetic and electric field systems that can focus and accelerate the positrons."

In other words, part of the theory was there, but it got stuck at the first step of development.

Looking at the troubled Hoss, He Kui could only sigh that both the Dawn Society and the Atlantic Federation were perverts.

All kinds of black technologies are put into the Gundam project.

Even with this speed he couldn't catch up with the other party.

After discussing with Hoss, He Kui continued to stay in his garage after dinner.
A humanoid girl was standing pretty in the corner of the hangar.

She has short golden hair that shines like the sun, and round red and white signal receivers on her ears, which are connected to the black and gold headband on her head, like a pair of headphones. Underneath are pretty flesh-colored facial features, and the body below has no skin but is covered with a layer of white composite armor.

Where the calf begins is a black power component, which from a distance looks like calf socks.

It looks good, and the power-generating structures are all inside it. It has a small jet device and can perform small-scale operations in space. It is not very useful on Earth, and at most it can only make you jump a little higher.

"Turn it on."

With a nervous look in his eyes, He Kui pressed the power button on his chest.

Soon the girl robot opened her eyes.

The small monitor, which was as deep blue as the ocean, started working and automatically locked onto the young man in front of it.

"Take a few steps."

Following He Kui's words, the girl took three steps forward mechanically.

For the radar, he compressed the size of the processor to the maximum.

Natural performance is not much higher.

To a certain extent, their intelligence level is even lower than that of Harrow.

"Walk in a circle along the wall."

I could only change the instructions to something simpler. Soon the girl started to move.

With the experience gained from the previous development of small MS, the girl was able to walk freely at this time, but her gait seemed a bit mechanical, and her burly appearance and slender body created a kind of funny contradiction.

Still, it was stiff. AI training could be done on his computer and then transplanted to the machine.

But in the end, only simple operations should be possible.

Manual control was fine, after all, it used basically the same system as the small MS, and he was also a red-clothed man.

Running, jumping, etc. can all be done with your eyes closed.

As for controlling the machine, it is of course impossible to do so with your hands, so you can just connect directly to the internal circuits of the MS.

"I'll call you Aegis."

After turning off Aegis, He Kui felt relieved.

Next, all you have to do is tune the AI.

But there are other problems besides Aegis.

That was how he was going to get on the Julius VII.

Although it is still at L5, it has almost drifted to the edge of L3.

It's impossible to get through with the power of Aegis.

If only Haro could sail a boat, if only he had money to buy one.
Although these two things are not impossible as future goals, they are still not very realistic now.

Hiring mercenaries or junk dealers will involve financial transactions, which can be easily detected.

He Kui quickly thought of Hawke, who was still working in his company. He used to be a sailor and should know other sailors.

If that doesn't work, he'll try to do a nuclear engine test near Julius VII, but that proposal is too hellish and might take some work.

However, compared to letting Lux be attacked and the various uncertainties of boarding the Archangel, it is safer to break this plot directly.

It's not his first time anyway.

After planning the next task, He Kui returned to his room on the third floor.

"Not ready yet?"

Looking at He Kui who returned to the living room, Shihe looked up from the computer and asked.

"almost."

"Then why are you frowning~"

Shihe chuckled and smoothed He Kui's frowned brows and asked.

"It's nothing serious. Is the information on the nuclear engine ready?"

"We are ready, and we are halfway through the process. We are much faster than the nuclear energy group next door. However, with the neutron jammer, not many people may be optimistic about this technology."

Shihe turned the computer over to He Kui and looked at the data on it and said.

It is useful, but currently only bases like Boyaz are useful and can increase energy reserves.

"It's okay, let's do it first."

According to the schedule, it should be completed before February next year, which just happens to be the time limit for Gundam.

"By the way, I have a day off tomorrow, so I'll have to trouble Shihe from the group."

He Kui sat next to Shihe and said.

"Where are you going~?"

“Just go to the company and have a look.”

I just happened to sign the contract, and by the way, I also wanted to ask Hawke about the ship.

"Don't be too tired~"

After saying this, Shihe gently kissed He Kui between the eyebrows.

"No, but I'm afraid we'll have to call a truce tonight."

He Kui smiled bitterly.
