About a minute later, Six finally replied, "The energy is limited and cannot be replenished. Furthermore, after firing two shots, cracks appeared in the barrel that shouldn't have been there."
Twelve's green light flickered, "Mine was a seamless barrel. Besides, that was a laser, not gunpowder. There's no vibration, how could cracks appear?"
Six's green light flickered, "Never mind the barrel, the satellite almost vibrated into the atmosphere due to the recoil."
One's green light flickered, "What do you plan to do next?"
Unexpectedly, Six's answer was the same as Su Xiang's, "After friction with the atmosphere, it shouldn't make much of an impression on the ground! We are sparsely populated here, so there won't be any serious consequences."
After the meeting, Xiao Xun came out of the conference room and happened to meet Su Xiang, who was about to enter.
"The meeting is over?"
Xiao Xun nodded, "It's over. What did the boss say?"
"I told the boss. The outcome is not something for you and me to worry about. Right now, the Cradle Plan is the most important thing."
After a night, Xiao Xun watched the news the next day.
Xiao Xun stared at his phone, furious, "What? What were the people in Area Six thinking? Not only did they not misplace the designated falling point, but the nearby residents had no idea. I really don't know what they were thinking. This could have been avoided."
Su Xiang walked over with his phone, "Have you seen the video? Some people are saying it's a UFO."
"What's the reality?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a stealth drone independently developed by our country."
Xiao Xun snorted, "It feels like your different regions in the Gatekeeper organization are not like a unified organization at all. People in different areas are always scheming against each other, resources are not shared, information is not shared, and meetings are just for arguing back and forth."
Su Xiang smiled, "You're only just realizing that! That's why our boss really doesn't want to attend meetings."
"Then please don't call me to meetings in the future, alright? I really don't want to argue anymore. I've found that since I became a shut-in, I've been arguing with people every day. I'm practically becoming a professional arguer. I don't know if I'm really wrong, or if people are deliberately picking on me."
Now that his house was gone, Xiao Xun had no one in G City. He could only live in the base recently.
However, he contacted real estate developer Wang Jingang and asked him to arrange for his subordinate construction units to rebuild a villa on the site of the burnt-down villa, making it identical and doing it quickly, just in case he could return home.
Wang Jingang said, "If we build it in the original style, it will take at least twenty days. This is the fastest possible time, not accounting for labor or cost."
"Can you shorten it to one week with continuous work?"
"Mr. Xiao, I'm not trying to refuse you. Your location is a wealthy neighborhood. If we work at night, and there are complaints, we can't afford to offend anyone. Besides, concrete and cement won't set immediately."
Xiao Xun hummed, "Then wait for my notification. I'll think about it again."
He hung up the phone and found Su Xiang, "Brother Xiang, do you have any experts here who can build a villa in the shortest possible time?"
"What do you want to do?"
"My house was burned down!"
"If it burned down, just rebuild it slowly! I remember that Saint Roman Group not only sells houses but also builds them. It's just a phone call for you, why are you asking me?"
"They build too slowly, it takes at least twenty days."
"Wow! Twenty days to build a villa, that's not slow. How much faster do you want it?"
"Of course, the faster the better."
Su Xiang said speechlessly, "The faster the better. If I build a villa for you in a day, I can build it, but would you dare to live in it? Don't always think about impossible things. You can't get fat by eating just one bite."
Xiao Xun nodded, "You said it yourself! Just one day, on the same land as my original villa, exactly the same."
Saying that, he ran out, "I'm going to a meeting. I'll leave this matter to Brother Xiang."
Su Xiang stomped his foot, "This kid, why doesn't he understand plain speaking?"
After speaking, he took out his phone and made a call, "Find any way possible to build a house for me within a day."
A man's voice came from the receiver, "So urgent, is there anything you need?"
"What need? As long as it's habitable, the main thing is speed."
"What style should it be?"
"Have you seen the two-story villas in the East Suburb wealthy area? Just like that."
"Build a small villa in a day... How about a color steel house?"
"What is a color steel house?"
"Brother Xiang, you've only been in the city for a few days, how can you not know what a color steel house is? It's a kind of simple house, you can even build a second floor, and the most important thing is speed, it won't even take a day."
Su Xiang's eyes lit up, "Okay, what about the price?"
"Cheap, very cheap."
"Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'll send you the address in a while, and you can call me when it's built."
"No problem."
Xiao Xun arrived at the conference room, where the experts were discussing amongst themselves. Xiao Xun glanced at the projector screen, which displayed the anatomical diagram of the Primate.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
As Xiao Xun stood in the main position, the entire conference room fell silent.
"Now is the time to tackle this major challenge. Time is running out. You are all world-renowned experts. Can we overcome this difficulty as soon as possible?"
"Mr. Xiao, it's not that we don't want to overcome it. If it could be overcome, it would be an unprecedented feat in the history of human medicine. But this simply does not conform to ergonomics."
Another expert nodded, "That's right. Professor Li De is right. No matter how big it is, it is an organism, a person, not a machine. How can we open the spinal canal at any time and then place a cockpit that can accommodate a normal person inside?"
"Yes, I think it would be better to build a humanoid giant robot. It's more convenient and powerful. It's purely mechanically manufactured, and we can modify it however we want."
"I also agree with Academician Leng's opinion. Building a robot is more justifiable in society. Modifying a giant is too..."
Xiao Xun slammed the table hard, "Did I ask you to come here to give me suggestions? Then I could just find a bunch of mechanics. Why did I find you! You're wasting my precious time here."
Saying that, he picked up the electronic pointer and pointed at the picture of the Primate, "Just treat him as a robot and try it first. Don't just talk on paper and think it's impossible to achieve."
A biologist wearing glasses stood up, "Mr. Xiao, how about this."
He picked up a model to demonstrate to everyone, "I've thought about this issue too. The spinal canal can accommodate a cockpit for a normal person without any problem. But instead of opening holes in the back, we can make a bolt hole at the neck area above the spine, and then insert the cockpit like installing a battery."
At this moment, a professor raised an objection, "But this is still a person with flesh and blood. As you said, if we make a hole, how do we solve the problem of massive bleeding and pain?"
Then, an expert in bionics slapped the table, "Ah! We can seal and wrap the muscle tissue and blood vessels in that area with special materials, so that problem won't occur!"
Xiao Xun nodded with satisfaction, "Since everyone has a direction, let's start preparing!"
At this moment, a female expert raised her hand, "I still have a question."
