interstellar enemy

After two days of raising her at home, Qiao Xi's ankle has subsided a lot, and the scratches have scabbed over, so it's nothing serious.Now that she was able to move around, Qiao Xi didn't want to delay the class, so she came to school as usual.

As soon as she walked into the classroom, Qiao Xi saw Maggie looking at him with her mouth curled up.Maggie glanced at him up and down, smiled and said: "It looks like the injury is not serious, why don't you take care of it for a few more days?"

"It's ready." Qiao Xi walked past her, and it was polite for him to reply, and he didn't want to say anything unnecessary, besides, he didn't think Maggie really cared about him.

From the moment Qiao Xi entered the door, Lindy's eyes followed him, but he didn't say anything.

Qiao Xi sat in his seat, and several classmates came to care about his injury.Qiao Xi's sudden fall that day also gave them a big jump.Now that Qiao Xi was all right, they broke up.

Maggie snorted softly, rolled her eyes at Qiao Xi, returned to her seat, started chatting with other girls, and ignored Qiao Xi.

During the lunch break, Qiao Xi was reading in the president's office.After checking his wound recovery, He Tian confiscated the coffee and handed him a carton of milk.Qiao Xi took a look at the milk box, it turned out to be banana-flavored, and it was a child's type...

But Qiao Xi didn't hate bananas, so she simply plugged in a straw and started drinking milk.

He Tian sat beside Qiao Xi, flipped through the book Qiao Xi was reading seemingly casually, and said, "I'll take you to a place after school, and go back after dinner."

"Where are you going?" Qiao Xi blinked, and her black pupils seemed to be brighter.

"You'll know when you go." He Tian didn't intend to answer directly.

Qiao Xi didn't speak until the milk was finished, and then said: "Okay, but I have access control, so it can't be too late."

"It won't be too late." He Tian put the book back in Qiao Xi's hand, and didn't intend to explain further, took the newspaper on one side and slowly flipped through it, without looking at Qiao Xi again.

Qiao Xi couldn't guess where He Tian was going to take him, but he didn't need to worry if he had supernatural powers to defend himself.

After school, Qiao Xi got into He Tian's car under Thain's meaningful eyes.Along the way, He Tian didn't speak, Qiao Xi quietly looked out of the window, the street scene was familiar, but she didn't know where the destination was.

Ten minutes later, the hover car drove into a wide yard guarded by guards and stopped in front of a tall silver building.It's not far from Jijia Street, the yard can't be seen at a glance, and it's very quiet.

After getting off the car, He Tian took Qiao Xi into the building. The guard didn't ask them when they saw them, but just nodded to He Tian, ​​who seemed to know them.Take the elevator upstairs, and as the elevator rises, you can see the whole picture of Jijia Street. Although there is a distance, the lights still show the prosperity there.

After getting out of the elevator, He Tian knocked on the only door in the corridor, then opened the door and entered.Inside the door is a huge laboratory, which occupies a full floor, and various instruments make slight sounds from time to time, with a sense of rigor belonging to the machine.

"Coming?" The man standing in front of the instrument turned his head, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his amethyst-colored pupils became brighter behind the lens, and his tone and voice were as gentle and elegant as his smile.

"Yes." He Tian's answer was very formal, obviously respecting this person.

When Qiao Xi saw this man, she was somewhat surprised.The man is about 30 years old, very beautiful, not even inferior to any woman, such a beautiful and academic man is easy to make people like him, and it is easy to lower his defenses.However, Qiao Xi did not ignore the sharpness that flashed in the man's eyes.

"Is this the classmate you were talking about?" The man's eyes shifted to Qiao Xi, and he looked at him seriously, which was exactly the same as when Qiao Xi looked at him.

"Yes, his name is Qiao Xi." After introducing the man, He Tian said to Qiao Xi again: "This is Professor Lu Gamil, a mecha master."

"Hello." Qiao Xi greeted politely, and understood why He Tian respected this professor so much.A well-known mecha master is very respected in the empire, even the most powerful mecha fighters will be courteous.

Lu Jia nodded and said: "Yesterday He Tian called me and said that he hoped that I could accept you as a student and teach you mecha knowledge. I was afraid that he would bring me a serious person. Now that I see you, I will Don't worry." He believed that He Tian must have brought him a very good person, otherwise He Tian would not have said this to him, but he really didn't want this student to look as uneasy as He Tian.

"Student?" Qiao Xi looked at Lu Jia in surprise.He really hoped that someone could guide him, after all, what he learned in school was still limited, but he never thought that this person would be found by He Tian for him.

"He didn't tell you?" Luga's slender eyes also had a flash of surprise, but it was He Tian's character after all.

Qiao Xi turned to look at He Tian, ​​He Tian didn't think there was any problem, and said, "It's not too late to let you know."

"Okay, thank you." No matter sooner or later, it will be a good thing for Qiao Xi, and I still have to thank He Tian.After expressing her gratitude, Qiao Xi smiled and said to Lu Jia: "I would like to learn from you, and I hope to get your guidance, and I will work hard."

"Okay. Then I will tell you about my requirements and conditions." Lu Jia also put away his smile and said seriously.

"Well, you said." Qiao Xi nodded, of course he knew that it was impossible for everyone to get the opportunity to learn like this.

"You just came here, you have to start with an internship. I won't take extra care of you just because He Tian introduced you. The internship period is three months, and you come here for two days every weekend. During these three months, the teacher I will teach you. If you meet my requirements and standards, you can officially be my student. If you fail to meet, I will not give Hetian face. I hope you can understand." Lu Jia first revealed himself As for Qiao Xi's attitude and standpoint, whether to leave or stay in the end depends entirely on his own ability.

"Yes, I understand." Qiao Xi also likes to speak with strength.

"Okay." Luga smiled again.As a maker, he knows very well that hard work is not enough to become a mech maker, talent is the key.If Qiao Xi has no talent, even if she stays in the laboratory, she can only do the most ordinary work and learn nothing.If Qiao Xi has this kind of talent, then he has made money. The laboratory is short of manpower, and it is also a joy for him to be able to train a mecha maker.

After chatting with Qiao Xi, Lu Jia asked He Tian again, "Did You Sui bring it?"

"Yes." He Tian handed the space button to Lu Jia, and said, "The right arm is injured, please repair it. Before returning, I bought the maintenance fluid you mentioned on Jijia Street last week, please Give it a maintenance." After finishing speaking, He Tian took out three bottles of maintenance solution from the space button and put them on the experimental table.

"Okay." Lu Jia picked up the maintenance lotion, looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's this one. Come get it on Sunday night."

"it is good."

As soon as He Tian's words fell, the door of the laboratory was opened from the outside, and a man about He Tian's height walked in. The man's age looked similar to Lu Jia's, and his long and narrow eyes carried a kind of hostility. The dark brown pupils seem to be able to see through many people and things, and the slightly retracted jaw has a sense of rigor, which makes it very difficult to approach.

"Are you done with your work?" The man asked Lu Jia, the gentleness in his tone was easy to see, and it was different from the feeling he gave him.

"Right now, I'm going to collect my things." Lu Jia replied very gently, and turned around to lock the space button and maintenance fluid on the table into the safe.

"Why are you here?" The man turned his gaze to He Tian, ​​and the tenderness in his original tone had completely disappeared. Obviously, the tenderness just now was only for Lu Jia.

"I asked the professor to accept a student yesterday, and today I happened to bring him over for the professor to meet. There is also something wrong with Youxuan, please help the professor to fix it." He Tian's attitude was still very respectful,

"You asked Lu Jia to recruit students, I heard him say it." The man was not surprised.

He Tian nodded, and introduced to the man: "This is Qiao Xi, and he is the one I recommend to the professor." Then he said to Qiao Xi: "This is the mecha training teacher of me and Thain, Leonard Tate. "

"Hello." As a junior, Qiao Xi still greeted first.Qiao Xi didn't know much about mecha trainers, only that they belonged to the military.But judging by He Tian's attitude, this trainer should have taught He Tian a lot, and he must be very capable.

Leonard nodded slightly, without making any comments on Qiao Xi, only said to He Tian: "Then use other mechas for training this week."

The other mechas that Leonard mentioned are the training mechas provided here. They are relatively low-level and not a good choice for battles, but they are more than enough for practice.

"Okay." Although He Tian thinks that Youxuan is more comfortable to drive, it is not difficult for him to adapt to the speed and rhythm for practicing with low-level mechas.

"I've packed it." Luga took off his lab coat, patted it on the hanger, and asked, "Dining together?"

"No, Qiao Xi has to go back early, you and the teacher can eat." He Tian rejected Lu Jia's invitation.

Luke didn't force it, and held Leonard's hand with a smile.

After the four went downstairs, Qiao Xi got into He Tian's car, and the two left first. Before leaving, Lu Jia reminded him of the weekend internship.Qiao Xi agreed with a smile, and then He Tian started the car and left the Mech Research Institute.

For dinner, He Tian took Qiao Xi to eat curry rice. Qiao Xi liked the fried quail eggs and fish balls very much.The reason why He Tian brought him to eat this is also because the side dishes can be prepared by himself, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the rice curry, which solves Qiao Xi's picky eating habits to the greatest extent.

"Professor Lu Jia is already a mech master at such a young age. It's amazing." Qiao Xi smiled.Most of the mecha masters recognized by the empire are of a certain age, so their professional teachers will tell them not to worry, mecha masters are not a level that can be achieved in a short time.

"Well, the professor is a genius and the only apprentice of the famous mech master Winton."

"Master Winton?" Qiao Xi was a little surprised.As a mecha master, Winton is mentioned by almost every professional subject teacher, his contribution to mecha manufacturing and innovative research.Not only mechas, this master is also very accomplished in thermal weapons, and he is definitely a benchmark figure in the empire's current mecha manufacturing.It's just that the master suddenly announced his retirement two years ago, and no one knew where he was after that.Unexpectedly, Professor Lu Jia is actually the master's apprentice, no wonder he can have his own laboratory at a young age.Qiao Xi felt it was his honor to be able to study with such a teacher.

"Well. After the professor became a teacher, Master Winton retired. The mecha research institute was originally owned by Master Winton, and was later given to the professor. In the library there, you can find Master Winton's unpublished academic work. Theory and essays." Of course, this was after Qiao Xi became a formal student.

"I will try my best to get the chance to enter the Ru library. Speaking of which, Professor Lu Jia is so talented, is he born in a family of mechs?" Qiao Xi asked, playing with the fish ball.Generally, children from the Ji family seem to have more of this kind of talent, which may have something to do with genetics.

"No." He Tian said nonchalantly, "The professor is from Solo."

Qiao Xi's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and the spoon cut the fish balls on the plate in half.He had no idea that Luke was actually a Solomon, and it was almost impossible for a Solomon to become a mecha master in the empire.Professor Lu Jia did it, and the hard work behind it and the forces supporting his status are probably unimaginable and inestimable...
