Chapter 172 Preparation for Planting Vegetables

Not long after, He Kui returned to PLANT.

His relationship with Lux seemed to have cooled again.

Although the two of them communicated normally, Lux no longer asked him questions like before.

Even with He Kui's gift offensive, the situation did not improve at all.

The relationship between the two seems to be just ordinary partners.

Of course this is correct, this is the relationship between the two.

But He Kui still had no idea how to make Lux treat him as a friend.

A few days later, he was invited to the restaurant by Ed, who was working in December City.

"I didn't expect you to find this place."

The place they agreed to meet was the restaurant where Ed had first invited him to dinner.

Even though less than a year has passed, I can already feel that things and people have changed a lot.

"I can't afford Director He to stay at a very high-end place."

Ed teased with amusement.

“It’s nice here too.”

He Kui deliberately changed his body shape and wore sunglasses so he didn't have to worry about being recognized.

And recently, Lanbos seems to be busy testing their new machines.

Plus, he hasn't produced much new stuff recently, at least not on the surface.
So it seemed that Lan Boss had temporarily given up on assassinating him.

"Come to think of it, you should be close to being the director, right?"

Ed sighed and placed the tea in front of He Kui.

He has been keeping an eye on this since He Kui joined the Heilan Design Bureau.

He thought He Kui would avoid the battlefield and become an ordinary worker.

The result is that he becomes stronger and stronger. Now, in just one year, He Kui has become the deputy director.

Although this is also because the National Defense Committee has given it key support.

However, his scientific research ability must have great potential in order to be supported by the National Defense Committee.

"It's okay. I still need a chance. Why did Ed come to see me? I think he's still in class over there."

"You know it very well."

Ed wondered.

"Fortunately."

It was only because of Luna that he memorized the recent class schedule.

"Let's get back to the point. I have news for you. Don't be surprised."

".You didn't tell me how surprised I was."

"Yes. Anyway."

Ed kept it a little bit of a suspense.

He Kui also cooperated and looked at him with a strong desire for knowledge.

"Ahem, I'm getting married next month."

"Congratulations."

As for marriage, I think I should not think about it for the time being.

He Kui closed his eyes, erased the images of the girls in his mind, and quickly opened his eyes again.

"Can you be more surprised?"

Not getting the response he wanted, Ed's eyes were filled with resentment.

"So when are you getting married?"

".The twentieth of next month."

Ed handed the invitation in his hand to He Kui unhappily.

"I will definitely be there."

He Kui said with a smile while holding the invitation in his hand.

"Thanks. Hurry up, too."

"But I'm not as good at playing as you are, and I'm not sure I can give birth."

Hearing Ed say that he was like a scumbag, He Kui curled the corners of his mouth.

He had rarely thought about this issue before.

But leaving marriage aside, fertility rate is indeed a serious problem.

In the past, he was not in a high position and his ability was not enough, so he did not consider these issues. But now he is the deputy director.
Perhaps it is time to solve the problem from the perspective of the entire group of adjusters, provided that their own safety can be guaranteed.

By helping them solve their problems, he can also get what he wants, money and power.

Thinking of this, He Kui quietly kept all these things in his heart.

Only if his reputation continues to improve and his abilities as a director are deeply rooted in people's hearts, will he be able to move up a level in this already basically stable workplace, get access to deeper information, and make the company bigger.

Go home.

After He Kui talked to Shihe, the arrangements for that day were finalized.

He Kui also returned to his office and began to develop the phantom particle magnetic field.

Of course, the most important thing is the theoretical knowledge of circular magnetic shield.

After all, this technology is not exclusive to this world, and there is still a lot of preparation to be made.

However, in terms of defense, each circular magnetic shield unit can generate an electromagnetic pulse shield, which can offset most projected beam particles and physical attacks.

Of course, if the attack is too powerful, you still can't resist it even if you intercept more than one shot.

It was like the destroyer rifle that could completely destroy a colony satellite or a huge space battleship with one strike.

According to this understanding, if this shield is a positron cannon or something like that, it should be able to block several shots. It can even resist a direct attack from Genesis?
In addition to its outstanding defensive capabilities, this shield also has some offensive capabilities.

For example, electromagnetic pulse shields working in pairs can interfere with the opponent's weapons with magnetic force in close combat, repelling and knocking away the weapons in the hands of enemy aircraft.

And the response speed is much faster than the deployed form of the light shield generator.

“Cost is an issue.”

According to current estimates, it will take a while to build such a shield.

At least 5 billion is needed.

That’s not all. There is a special material that can carry high voltage electric fields and strong magnetic fields. It is extremely rare. According to internal information, only Mars has more of it.

The Earth should have a little bit too, but neither side is easy to deal with.

For now, let the National Defense Committee worry about this.

After finishing his busy work, He Kui returned home and was immediately attracted by the huge fried kidneys on the table.

Facing his parents' gazes and Shihe's blushing face, He Kui tactfully did not ask.

He just lowered his head and started eating.

My child, this must be difficult.

Soon, just before the development of the phantom particle system was about to be completed, He Kui found an excuse to ask for leave and was secretly taken by Lux's people to the Klein faction's secret factory in the L5 meteorite belt.

This secret factory is hidden in the asteroid belt.

Even Julius VII is not far away.

"I thought they were going to cover my eyes."

He Kui smiled as he looked at Lux who was greeting him at the port.

"No need. After all, I trust Director He."

"It was an honor."

Looking at the factory in front of him, which is more than three times larger than the asteroid Lux ​​gave him.

He Kui also had a new understanding of the Klein family's financial resources.

"Then I'll take you to our main control center."

"Ok."

Following Lux all the way, the two soon arrived at the core part of the factory.

"Everything has been installed according to Director He's design. The next step is the specific system."

"it is good"

"Director He, what's wrong~?"

Lux instantly saw through He Kui's doubts and asked with amusement.

"I'm just waiting for Miss Lux to tell me."

If it was just a system problem, Su Lei could handle it, and there would be no need for him to come here.

"I just want Director He to take a look. Also, I remember Director He had made an interconnected support system before."

"Yes?"

He Kui was a little confused as to why Lux wanted to talk about this.

“Our current crop research in June City requires smarter AI management.”

Lux explained.

"Director He should know how difficult it is to grow vegetables in a space environment."

The microgravity environment, the inability to completely isolate cosmic high-energy radiation, soil structure problems, the lack of microbial communities, the simplification of the food chain and other factors all affect the growth of crops.

The latter few are shackles deliberately imposed on PLANT by the member states.

"We need smarter detection and management systems to maintain the overall stability of the soil structure."

"Miss Lux wants me to improve the interconnection system so that it can automatically maintain soil stability?"

"Yes."

"I understand."

"Ok?"

Lux, who was originally thinking of tempting someone, blinked slightly in a naive way.

"For the PLANT."

He Kui smiled.

His information engineering is very strong, just a little weaker than micro-management, and he has almost reached the master level. Although soil is not within his professional scope, he can do it as long as he has data.

However, Lux probably said this because someone she knew brought it up, was it Congressman Sarah's wife?

But why can't Congresswoman Sarah know about this?

Do you think that without this desperate factor, the battle situation will be disadvantageous?

I still feel that there is little hope and don't want this matter to disturb his weapons development.

He Kui was thinking, and when Lux heard He Kui's explanation, a gentle smile finally appeared in the corner of her eyes.

Unlike the previous smile, this time there was a little more sincerity in it.

The girl leaned forward slightly, and her light pink dress immediately outlined her graceful curves.

"Thank you~"

"No need, but why did Ms. Lacus ask me to come over and talk?"

"I've already told you that. I just wanted you to come and have a look."

Instead of saying Director He, Lux used "you".

There was also a hint of intimacy in the soft voice.
