Chapter 161 Asteroid Mystery

"System self-check successful, basic performance test successful."

He Kui said as he looked at the data monitor in front of him.

"The first phase of the experiment was successful."

Following He Kui's announcement, everyone present had a relaxed smile on their faces.

The next step is to test the dynamic performance of the Dragoon, which is to use the Dragoon system of the aircraft to hit moving targets in the universe.

However, this test will still take a few days to debug.

"Do you want to add a dragoon system?"

Hearing what He Kui said, Erin frowned.

"Yes, after all, although the first phase of the test was successful, there are still many areas that can be improved based on the data and structure."

Is there a problem? Actually, there is no big problem. He Kui's theory is correct.

He deliberately made some deviations in what he created so that it wouldn't cause too much trouble.

It's just that the performance and mobility of the improved dragoon will increase by about 10%.

This is just a drop in the bucket for PLANT.

But it is important for He Kui who wants to keep a set of dragoons.

He also helped PLANT avoid many detours and save a lot of money. For this reason, it would not be excessive for him to ask for a set of dragoons worth billions.

And it’s not like I won’t return it, I’m just borrowing it temporarily for research.

"I understand."

After all, this is still the territory of He Kui and Su Lei, Erin nodded.

If he wanted one more set, even if He Kui had selfish motives, he would not go too far.

"Thank you~"

"Okay, the two sets of phantom particle magnetic field generator shields you made are almost ready. This should also be done at the same time."

"Time is tight recently, so just do your best."

"Ok."

He Kui suppressed the smile that was about to rise to the corners of his mouth and bowed calmly towards Erin.

But I felt even more excited in my heart.

That's a dragoon. Even if it doesn't have a power source now, it may have one in the future.

Plus the future phantom particle magnetic field.
"What's wrong? You're laughing so meanly."

As soon as she walked into He Kui's office, Su Lei saw He Kui sitting in front of her desk with a sly smile on his face.

"No, I'm just looking at the data of the Phantom Dragoons."

When Su Lei heard He Kui say this, her eyes lit up.

"show me!"

Su Lei excitedly walked to He Kui's side, but was tripped by the heavy desk and fell towards He Kui.

".Are you a child?"

He Kui caught the person in his arms and said unhappily.

"I'm not a child!"

Su Lei looked up at He Kui in his arms.

"My feet hurt! It's all because of your table!"

“There’s something wrong with my desk.”

He Kui's half-smile made Su Lei even more dissatisfied.

There are cute wrinkles around the little nose.

"Sit down, let me take a look."

After putting Su Lei in her seat, He Kui squatted down and took off Su Lei's little leather shoes.

Perhaps it’s because the genes have been adjusted, the shoes that have been worn for a day are not smelly at all, but instead have a slight girlish fragrance.

The toes wrapped in black velvet socks were curled up nervously. Through the not-so-thin socks, the outline of the toes could be vaguely seen, and the light pink nail polish on the nails looked even more delicate against the black background.

Just when He Kui was about to take another step forward, he heard the sound of a door opening. Before He Kui could react, Su Lei, who was startled, kicked He Kui in the face.

It was like a soft cloud and it didn't hurt too much, but at this moment He Kui felt that it would be better for him not to go out.

"Director He Sulei?"

What Huos saw after he hurriedly opened the door was that Su Lei was sitting in He Kui's seat, while He Kui was completely invisible.

"Where's Director He?"

Hoss asked curiously.

"Something's going on."

Su Lei paused unnaturally as if she had received an electric shock.
She glared at He Kui who was taking off his socks under the table and tickling the soles of her feet.

But He Kui was quite interested.

The tenderness of the girl's feet was like a piece of untrampled snow, pure and flawless, maintaining the most primitive softness and sensitivity. Every time his nails gently scratched them, it aroused circles of ripples.

The girl's delicate toes are lifted up and curled up cutely.

"Oh, do you know where he went?"

"not sure."

"Okay, I'll come back later."

Huos was obviously in a hurry, and he didn't notice Su Lei's increasingly red face, so he left the room. "That's enough!"

Su Lei put her foot against He Kui's shoulder and said in shame and anger.

"good."

He Kui said this as he took Su Lei's feet away, stood up from under the table and elegantly patted the wrinkles on his body.

"The foot looks fine. I'm going to go find Hoss first. You stay here and call me if you need anything."

Hoss must have something important to do just now.

Although he still wanted to tease Su Lei, it would be better for him to go find him quickly.

"Got it, get out of here!"

After glaring at He Kui, Su Lei lowered her head, picked up her socks that had just been taken off and threw them at He Kui.

Soon the good mood of chatting with Su Lei was broken in the director's office of the beam group.

"What problems did we encounter with the asteroid we acquired?"

He Kui frowned and looked at Huos's equally serious expression.

"The rock wall is too fragile. If we dig it forcibly, it may cause the asteroid to collapse."

“You can’t drill and hollow it out like this.”

Hoss took out more pictures of the asteroid, which were also the results of their company's own exploration.

"Fortunately, you allowed us to survey it in advance."

He Kui felt more helpless than relieved when he heard this.

It's not uncommon for asteroid walls to be inconsistent inside and outside, but they were unlucky enough to have encountered this.

“The development company said it could refund half of our deposit.”

For such a low-probability event, being able to retreat half is already giving He Kui face.

In fact, if some asteroids contain substances such as sulfides and cyanides inside, they may cause chemical reactions or phase changes when exposed to solar radiation or impact, leading to changes in the rock structure.

After all, there are so many things in this universe, and there are always some strange ones.

They have all signed contracts for these.

"No hurry, let's go take a look first."

Who can bear to lose three million in this round trip?

His Aegis hasn't returned yet, but he's already lost half of his Aegis.

It was simply unacceptable to him, and since the internal structure of the rock had changed, he might still be able to restore it.

In short, since the thing has already happened, there is nothing we can do about it. We can only comprehensively evaluate the most cost-effective solution.

Thinking of this, He Kui immediately said something to Erin and then took Hoss, who quickly changed his clothes, and left the design bureau.

The two soon arrived at one of the asteroids in the outer space of November City.

It is as large as a football field and looks quite huge.

He Kui, who changed into a space suit, landed on the asteroid with its bumpy and unattractive surface together with Hoss and Hawke.

Perhaps it was due to the blessing of cosmic adaptability. Although he rarely entered a weightless state, He Kui now felt as if he was like a fish in water.

"Did the mineral radar detect anything?"

"No, only changes in the rock structure were detected."

As the two were talking, the tablet in He Kui's hand lit up, synchronizing the structure of the entire asteroid.

But the area right in the middle was still shrouded in smoke and couldn't be seen clearly.

"It could be a rare metal, or it could be a useless metal material."

Hoss frowned and said in confusion.

"Such a large corrosion reaction has never occurred in rare metals before, so... maybe it is a useless material."

Apart from being able to react and corrode rock formations, those materials are not very hard and do not have much value.

"Let's go to the place where the rock quality has changed first."

"Hoss and Hawke, you stay here for now."

After making the arrangements, He Kui controlled the small thruster behind him and reached the area where the rock structure had changed.

"According to the location, it should be sixty meters below."

It's right in the middle of the asteroid.

But since I haven't bought it yet, I can't drill a hole, I can only explore.

We need to make a more powerful detector.

Combining quantum communications with mineral radar should increase the radar's range.

First of all, I have to ask Su Lei.

Having made a preliminary decision in his mind, He Kui returned to where the two were.

"Did the Resource Management Bureau tell us how much time they can give us to make a decision?"

"within a week."

"That is not bad."

Hearing this, He Kui breathed a sigh of relief. It should be in time to modify the radar, otherwise he would have to take a gamble.

God knows what's inside, but as Hoss said, the experience of predecessors has proved that it is most likely just some scrap metal.

So He Kui felt that it was not safe to gamble directly.
In short, you still have to be prepared.
