I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"Hurry up, hurry up, help me find some historical materials about your engineering department."

Lloyd held a suspended space cube in his hand, which recorded a large amount of data obtained from divination, and he found Professor Toledo again.

After Lloyd left, this guy actually made a small toy, a water tank as big as a bathtub, in which he kept a few fish with gears and drive shafts on their bodies, and then there were a few fishing rods standing next to it, poking them into the water.

I don't know what his weird train of thought is thinking about...

"Huh? You actually divined the coordinates? That's amazing! But as for the historical data you wanted, I guess I'll have to go find that tin can. Let's go, I'm going to change my clothes."

Professor Toledo ran to the lounge next door to change his clothes.

Lloyd looked at this strange new toy with curiosity and asked:

"What is this thing used for?"

"This is the lie detector I invented a long time ago. The original design idea was that if you lie, the fish inside would bite your finger. But the technology was not up to standard and the functions were not perfect, so I changed it into an automatic fishing machine..."

No...How is this lie detector connected to the automatic fishing machine?

And you don't have any fish on this fishing rod? Isn't it just poking into the water like a harpoon?

Lloyd muttered in his heart and said disdainfully:

"Do you really need to use this method to fish? Aren't you ashamed? And this isn't really fishing, is it?"

"Haha, that's because you don't understand my design idea. If you think I want to use the fishing rod to poke the fish, then you are wrong. In fact, the back of this fishing rod can emit electricity, so no fish can escape!"

Fuck, this guy is so shameless, he even flirts with me?

Lloyd felt disdainful, but then he heard Professor Toledo continue to argue:

"However, I don't electrocute the fish as you think. I just use a weak electric current to mislead the fish, so that they can relax their vigilance and stimulate their appetite so that they will bite my hooks... You will know when it is finished. Then I will let you see the power of the Engineering Department!"

"It's so troublesome, you might as well just use electricity..."

Lloyd also couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"Alright, alright, let's go. I can't wait for you to get back our ancestral treasure."

Professor Toledo walked out of the lounge, having changed his pajamas with cartoon bears printed on them into a formal suit. Then he walked into the portal opened by Lloyd and found the Tin Man professor of the Engineering Department.

As soon as the other party heard that Lloyd was going to salvage the heirlooms of their department, they immediately cooperated. Not only did they immediately ask their students to bring a lot of information, they also called over many elderly lecturers and professors to help Lloyd restore a rough map of the old school district with the help of the information.

And it is the kind of three-dimensional modeling.

Of course, such a complex structure could not be completed in one day. In fact, in order to obtain the final three-dimensional map, Lloyd waited patiently for three days.

"It's actually a spherical structure? This is really... bold..."

Lloyd said sincerely as he looked at the complex sphere in front of him that was filled with various blocks and lines.

In fact, according to his understanding of the alien space, this spherical structure is the most unstable and unreasonable. Not only is it more troublesome to maintain, but it is also quite troublesome to anchor, and it requires more space anchors than other structures.

Although the interior of these school districts in Mizkatok also looks like a sphere without so many sharp edges, if we look at the entire spatial structure, it is a more complex polyhedron structure, which is overall closer to a triangular layout and can be firmly nailed in the alien space like an rubber wedge.

But the spherical structure is not all bad. If Lloyd can really find it, he should be able to drag it back relatively easily.

Of course, relatively speaking, it may also float farther and deeper, and the space inside may be more easily fragmented.

In short, this kind of bold design might have been something that only Mizkatok would have dared to try during its heyday.

"By today's standards, this is indeed a bit bold... In fact, it is precisely because of this bold design that Lawrence was basically unable to locate the school district and was unable to carry out exploration activities. So Professor Lloyd, your ability to find the coordinates of the school district this time really exceeded all of our expectations."

"Yes, I originally thought it was fake, but when I heard that it was you, Professor Lloyd, who came to this conclusion, I immediately ended my vacation and rushed back."

"Let's not talk about other things for now. If we can find that next-generation prototype all-domain all-weather multifunctional continuous autonomous construction array, it will be a huge boost to human civilization. So the three of us old guys are willing to go all out and plan to go down with you."

These three senior professors from the engineering department, who were so old that they could barely stand up straight, were even more excited and enthusiastic about this matter than young people like Toledo, and they actually volunteered to take part.

But Lloyd [explored] them one by one. They were at the fifth level, with terrible four attributes, and their life forms had not been transformed into the kind that could fight well. If he followed them, who knows whether they would become teammates or opponents...

All I can say is that, although the fifth level is much stronger than ordinary people and has a much longer lifespan, it is not an infinite lifespan after all. If you don’t continue to [Transcend], you can’t even fight against aging.

But the people in the Engineering Department generally choose to stop at the fifth level. Even though they know they will age and die in the future, they are unwilling to go any further.

Not many people even chose to change their life form, only the Tin Man Professor made this choice.

However, through some observations in his daily life, Lloyd found that people in the Engineering Department generally did not respect the Tin Can Professor who presided over the Engineering Department. They even looked down on him. They didn't even mention his name and called him "Tin Can".

In the words of Professor Toledo:

"We study engineering to control and study machinery, not to become machinery. I'd rather die than abandon the beautiful girl around me and live like a tin can."

However, Tin Can lived longer than these stubborn "old engineers", had more experience and higher rank, and finally took the position of the first professor. Although it was a bit ironic, it was also a reasonable development.

Let's get back to the present. Although the three old professors offered to go together, Lloyd waved his hand mercilessly.

"Let's forget it. The old school district has been 'soaked' in the alien space for too long. No one knows what will happen inside. Let Toledo go with me."

"Huh? Young guys look down on old bones like us? Oh... it's really sad."

"Don't look at me because I'm old, but I'm from the Law Department, and my body is a bit stronger than yours! This time I go down, I want to get back my youthful teeth!"

"That's right. Besides, both you and Toledo are too young. You haven't even seen what the old school district looks like. What if you get lost after entering? You know, although we have restored this topographic map very carefully, it is not absolutely accurate."

Seeing that the three old men were about to jump up in anxiety, Lloyd quickly gestured with his hands pressing down, signaling them not to be anxious.

"I understand what you three said. Exploring this school district naturally requires your valuable experience and knowledge. So I'm not stopping you from going. I just need to change to a more stable and safer way."

As he spoke, he began to introduce his new mobile phone to the three old professors, as well as a new function he had temporarily developed during these three days.

To put it simply, based on the relevant technology of 'Mettis' who made coffee for him last time, a new version of the [Silhouette] that can follow him was created, and then through the '氪金手机游戏', the three old professors could obtain such a controllable 'character'.

In this way, there would be no danger for them to follow him, and he could also use their knowledge and experience. It was a perfect plan that no one could refuse.

Even Toledo was the same. His fighting ability was too weak. He went to play around in the [Illusion Trial] and was just a drag on others. His performance was not as good as some third- and fourth-level students.

He was a man with a sense of dignity, and no matter how Lloyd advised him, he would never go there again.

So when Lloyd decided to go down to "fish for the heirloom", he had already thought of a follow-up plan. He used [Silhouette] to let them go with him. In this way, if they really encountered any trouble, he would not have to distract himself to protect them.

By the way, this newly developed function can be put to some practical use. Otherwise, just letting "Metis" pour coffee would be a waste of this cutting-edge technology.

Of course, the [Silhouettes] they were going to use next were also made separately, not the 'Metis' and 'Professor Latio' that Lloyd had made earlier.

The 'Metis' is a bit of a dish, after all, it is just an initial technical verification model;

Professor Latio will go with Lloyd himself, so there is no need for [Silhouette]——

When exploring this long-lost school district, no one knows how many valuables are hidden inside, so of course you have to call your teammates along.

The eighth-level strongman who is more convenient at the moment is Professor Latio.

The other party agreed very readily, and transferred several other good players from the medical team. They even temporarily lent Lloyd a set of transforming armor that he had been dreaming of for a long time.

It was the same outfit that the medical team wore when they went out on the expedition before. It looked so sci-fi and cool, and it made Lloyd very envious.

"You are the most important person now. We can't let you take risks."

Professor Latio said so.

In short, after listening to Lloyd's plan, the old professors naturally had no objections and immediately began to learn how to use the new version of the mobile phone.

But inevitably, a lot of criticism began:

"Is this really made by our engineering department? The workmanship looks... not refined at all, and there is no artistic beauty. Who designed it?"

"This function of eliminating mental pollution is very good, but what's the point of this function of taking pictures and using a flashlight?"

"Such a simple work actually requires the use of a self-disciplined construction array to produce it? Aren't today's students too lazy?"

Yes, yes, yes, it would be great if you could help me to hurry up.

Lloyd muttered to himself.

And just like that, it was settled.

After another day of organization, preparation and meetings, the expedition team was ready to set off.

Lloyd finally got a set of transforming armor that he had longed for, and he played with it over and over again in the dormitory.

When the armor is folded up, it is not the belt style that Lloyd idealized, but a briefcase. When worn, it will be carried on the back, a bit like a schoolbag.

When activated, a layer of unique active metal will extend from the "schoolbag", automatically adapting to Lloyd's physical system and condensing into the cool appearance seen before.

Several weapons equipped on the armor were also temporarily transformed in the same way.

There is no need to say much about its advantages such as lightness, flexibility and close fitting. It naturally also has basic auxiliary functions such as enhancing speed and strength.

It is even equipped with a set of boosters, which not only enables it to have a 'high jump' function, but also a certain short-distance gliding function.

However, due to the limited total amount of this deformable metal, it cannot be equipped with many weapons. There are only about 2 melee weapons and 2 long-range weapons. The firepower is not particularly sufficient. When a real fight breaks out, it still depends on the user's own strength.

Therefore, the biggest highlight is its exaggerated protective performance, which can basically resist most physical damage and use the characteristics of deformable metal to effectively offset the impact force.

Coupled with the accompanying energy shield and other devices, the anti-poison and anti-curse performance is also very strong. Even if an ordinary person wears it, he can save his life from a monster with a danger level of 6.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have not been killed by mental pollution.

The only thing this armor can't protect against is mental pollution...

In general, this is indeed the strongest armor that humans can currently create.

It’s a pity that due to the limitations of process technology and the scarcity of the key raw material [Tears of the Stars], the production capacity cannot be increased at all. Each set is a precious and priceless treasure.

The set Lloyd has now is not new, but "second-hand" lent to him by others.

But if the engineering department's heirloom can be retrieved, coupled with Lloyd's rich reserves of [Tears of the Stars], the production capacity problem can definitely be solved.

After all, this set of armor, which is the most advanced today, could only be considered a "slightly novel and interesting toy" in its glorious past.

Its performance cannot be compared with the armors Lloyd saw in historical scenes...

For example, in the battle of the Fortress of Sighs, the armor worn by those strong men who took off into the air to meet the enemy, except for the lack of transformation function, was much stronger than today's transformable armor.

It’s just that those things can’t be made now…

But if Lloyd can successfully retrieve the "heirloom" this time, perhaps he can use it as a basis to develop a stronger version than the previous one.

And that is exactly what humanity urgently needs right now!

But no matter what, Lloyd is quite satisfied with his current transforming armor.

He immediately put on the armor and stood in front of the mirror, posing in various postures.

"Transform!"

"Sa~ count your sins!"

As a result, at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Metis asked:

"Lloyd? Are you home? I brought you lunch."

Lloyd quickly put away his armor with an embarrassed look on his face, and said to the kitten beside him in a very serious tone:

"Don't tell anyone what happened just now!"

"Meow meow meow?"

The little kitten was stunned for a moment and meowed twice, probably asking himself how he should tell this to others.

In this way, Lloyd and his party completed their preparations for departure. Early in the morning of the second day in college time, they gathered in the school district loaded with space storms and began to move towards the divination coordinates.
