Chapter 55 A Small Order from the Desert
He Kui returned to the Lorenz Base safely and was rewarded for his previous achievements.

However, because he was half-disobedient and ran away, the final result was that his merits and demerits offset each other.

This was also within He Kui's expectations.

As for the follow-up, He Kui and Shi He returned to PLANT from the moon ahead of schedule because the test was completed, ending this short business trip.

"The National Defense Committee needs to hand over our experimental data on the beam experimental Xigu in three days. I'll trouble you to organize the data."

"no problem."

Amid the lively responses from the crowd, He Kui nodded in satisfaction.

He Kui did not leave early today. He was just planning on the computer the next aiming-assisted Harrow and the new Harrow with integrated access control cracking function.

You won't know until you try it, but computer-assisted aiming really makes things a lot easier. Although it may not work if the opponent is an elite, if the opponent is an ordinary person, you can basically hit the target with every shot.

And as long as Harrow's computing power can be improved.
But this is a bit dangerous.

Although there is AI here, the degree of automation is still strictly limited. It is more used in city management, such as their "Gene Matching Law", rather than on the frontal battlefield.

After all, if the AI ​​gains control of the armed forces and then accidentally mutates or is taken hostage by the enemy, these are things that neither side wants to try.

"He Kui, why are you so slow~"

Ed, who was dressed in black in the high-end hotel, complained.

"How dare you say that? It's been a long time since you last came here."

He Kui glared at Ed, who had turned into charcoal, and then his eyes were attracted by the red-haired, charcoal-clad young man in green standing beside him.

"Let me introduce you. This is Da Costa. We met on the African front."

Ed said with a light cough.

"Nice to meet you, Director He."

Da Costa stood up and saluted in one go.

"You're welcome."

"He Kui, Da Costa is the adjutant of the 'Desert Tiger'!"

The African front, which had seemed a little sluggish in the previous two days, was torn apart by the Baku troops led by Andrew Bartfield, who were able to break through the defense line formed by the large tank forces of the Eurasian Federation.

Commander Andrew was thus given the title of "Desert Tiger" and has become another hot figure besides Cruze recently.

"Just assisting Captain Andrew."

"Mr. DaCosta is being modest."

"So, when you said you were coming back, you were actually going to the African front?"

"Yes, I followed them to Gibraltar and narrowly escaped death. I had just recovered from my injuries when the battle started again."

Ed gave a bitter smile. If he could, he would have wanted to go home immediately, but the situation at that time made it too late.

"You guys have worked hard too."

"Speaking of these, Da Costa asked you to come over for dinner this time because he has something to tell you."

"Excuse me, what is it?"

"We want to buy 20 Haro from you, 20,000 in one lump sum." "Huh?"

One thousand each, a good price, but unfortunately the other party didn't want too much.

"Because the remaining resistance organizations in our African region are quite rampant and the Blue Cosmos is harassing us, assassinations against our senior military personnel are endless, so I thought of you."

"He Kui, when we first arrived at the African front and camped at night because we were unfamiliar with the situation, we were almost ambushed by the resistance organization. It was your Hello Radar that saved our entire team."

As Ed spoke, he began to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes again.

"Then you'll pay for this meal?"

"You're already the director?! And you still need me to treat you?!"

Faced with Ed's exaggerated expression, He Kui couldn't help but laugh and looked away.

"Hello no problem, when do you want it?"

"Within a month."

"I understand."

After the small cooperation was quickly negotiated, Da Costa declined the two people's request to stay and left the hotel.

"Ed, I'm the director now."

"Can you please stop showing off your life?"

".You know what I mean."

With his current position, he could get Ed out of the front line at a small cost.

"Sorry, He Kui, but I've decided to make a name for myself!"

"That's it."

He Kui was not surprised. It could be seen from the way Ed still addressed him that in his heart he was just He Kui, not Director He, so he didn't want him to help him in the capacity of Director He.

Not knowing why Ed changed, all He Kui could do was raise the glass in his hand.

"Then I wish you a bright future."

"Don't worry! It's safe to follow Captain Andrew! And you can learn a lot."

"Yeah."

We ate until late at night before returning home.

Things have passed for now, but life must go on. Recently, the price of materials has continued to rise, but the price paid by [Mechanical Fans] has not changed.

The market was stable, but He Kui was worried. After all, if others made less profit, they might eat less meat, but if He Kui made less profit, he would lose money. After all, a large portion of his Haro was given away as gifts.

Fortunately, he had stockpiled a lot of money before, so it was no problem for him to maintain a balance between income and expenditure before he figured out academic research.

However, if material prices continue to rise at this rate, the machinery market may collapse.

I just hope PLANT can come forward as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.
