Chapter 166 Mendel Expedition

“The company’s dividends have run out again.”

Looking at the streamlined car body in the garage in front of me.

He Kui's mouth corners were twitched with heartache.

PS Armor is out of the question.

However, he also used a laminated armor design. Although the heat dissipation performance would not be very strong due to the size problem, it could at least withstand a pulse cannon and several beam gun shots.

Its built-in power supply is enough for two hours of full-speed operation. If it is put into the power-saving mode using only inertia as power, it can even float to the moon.

"The next step is to apply for a departure permit and then drive to Julius 7."

"But who's going to drive?"

"Hello~?"

The black Haro on the table cooperated and rolled in front of He Kui.

"Not yet, you can't open it yet."

He Kui stood up, stretched, and went straight to the third floor with Haro.

Shihe, who was in the living room, was working on a computer and planning how to test beam weapons on Gates in the near future.

"Shihe, I've already prepared the lifeboat."

"Are you finally done?"

Hearing this, Shihe raised his head and said excitedly.

"I'll just say hello to the Director and have this escape pod entered into the friendly force identification system."

"Then I will go to the DSSD space station at L4 for two days the day after tomorrow."

His latest scheduled visit to DSSD is coming up soon.

It is said to be a regular visit, but in fact he just goes there whenever he wants, one or two days a month is enough.

This is done not only because the PLANTs are relatively free, but also to prevent assassins from finding patterns.
They don't know who has passed by nor the exact time, so they can protect their own safety to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, necessary protection is still necessary, at least Xi Gu has to bring it.

"I also need to go!"

Shihe raised his hand and said.

"There are still weapons experiments to be completed, which will only take two days."

"Then bring Xi Gu with you!"

"Yes, Tiebi and the others will go too, don't worry."

As he said this, He Kui lowered his head towards Shihe.

"There is still work!"

Poems that tell you what someone is up to and cute ways of acting cute.

"Just smell it~"

After lingering on Shihe's delicate neck for a while, He Kui stood up again.

He has a lot of things to prepare as he is about to travel.

And Mendel.

It would be best if we could find some clues there.

Two days later, after arranging his affairs, He Kui set off for DSSD's space station at L4.

The journey was not too long, and he could rest in the PLANT. After coming out of the PLANT, He Kui sat on his own chair.

Although the location is a bit cramped, it is safe.

Even if someone launches a sneak attack, you will be able to react immediately.

The ship he was on this time did not have a light shield system.

After a long journey squeezed in his cockpit, He Kui finally arrived at the DSSD space station.

When he stepped out of the ship, Selena, who came to greet him, also took the initiative to come forward.

The royal sister is more dashing than before, and the white coat on her body outlines her tall figure.

The smell of maturity is everywhere.

"Ms. Selena, long time no see."

"Director He."

Looking at Tiebi and others following He Kui, Selena was very considerate and didn't say much, but just led people inside.

"So Director He, should we focus on research or rest first?"

“Let’s look at the research first.”

"Captain Iron Wall."

Due to their long-standing tacit understanding, He Kui and Tiebi understood each other's thoughts with just a glance.

Tiebi just nodded.

"Director He, be careful. We will be on standby on the ship."

"No problem." "Ms. Selena, you have Jin En here now, right?"

"Compared to Gates, the newcomer from the Integrated Design Bureau, Jin is nothing."

Selena responded modestly, and only rolled her eyes at He Kui in a coquettish manner after Tiebi and others had left.

"How are you going to get to Mendel when your bodyguards are following you so closely?"

He Kui knew the progress of their specific research and didn't need to come over at all.

"Just now."

"What if I said I wasn't ready that fast~"

Selena shrugged.

"As for Selena, she should have prepared in advance."

He knew the research progress of Selena and the others, so there was no need for him to come in person. Therefore, after she knew the news, she must have guessed his plan long ago.

According to her personality, she would naturally arrange the ships in advance.

"You really have confidence in me."

"I am my ally after all."

Hearing the word ally, Selena's attitude softened a bit.

"I am ready, but it is just a small ship, and it does not have any defense force except the Gatling gun in the working cabin."

"no problem."

"Then let's go."

Hearing He Kui's ready agreement, Selena opened another door in the lounge that was different from the one she opened when she came in.

"We also slightly modified our internal structure after being attacked before, and built an extra secret escape port."

"I didn't intend for anyone to know about this."

"I won't tell."

"That's good."

Seeing that He Kui was so sensible, Selena still chose to believe the young man in front of her.

After all, the two of them are currently in the same boat.

And although he looks young, he is very thoughtful and is really a good partner.

Just be careful not to be sold out.

With different thoughts in mind, the two soon arrived at the secret dock. Several streamlined small shuttle ships were parked in the heavy gate.

Although He Kui had never seen this type of shuttle before, he knew from its spear-like shape that it should be similar to his escape pod.

They are all escape ships that have been specialized in speed and defense.

"come in."

Selena said as she opened the curved door on the side of one of the shuttles.

"Is this a new type of shuttle?"

"But it has no armed capabilities. A ship can only accommodate a hundred people at a time. Normally, only three people are needed for the crew. In an emergency, one person can rely on AI to start the operation."

“Can AI control itself?”

"No, it's not that complex yet. It still requires human decision-making. Even if self-learning AI appears, it will take tens of thousands of hours of learning to master it."

"Ok."

As they talked, the two walked to the cockpit of the aircraft.

Because there was no plan to have many crew members, there were only five seats in the cab at this time.

There are two on each side, and the captain's position is in the middle.

Their command room is located directly above the hull.

"Eight sets of thermonuclear pulse thrusters, the technology on the Archangel, right?"

Looking at the engine information displayed on the console in front of him, He Kui sighed.

"It was extended from the nuclear engine before. Because it uses laser ignition, there is no need to worry about the influence of the neutron jammer. You can take it away if you want."

"Then I'm welcome."

You have to give something back, and this thruster is a good one.

It's just a pity that it can't be used on MS.

As soon as the two finished speaking, the system self-check was completed.

Selena sat on the control panel, and He Kui sat next to Selena.

A radar operator's position.

"Let's go, then~?"

Selena started the engine and asked He Kui for confirmation.

"lets go."
