Due to going to bed too late, Qiao Xi obviously didn't get enough sleep, and her complexion was not very good when she woke up in the morning.

When Rong Chun put the breakfast on the table, he said worriedly: "Why don't you ask for leave today? Learning mecha is not something that happens overnight."

"It's okay." Qiao Xi picked up the milk and took a few sips, letting the smell of the food drive away the sleepiness. "Drink some coffee in a while, and I can get over it." Learning opportunities are rare, and Professor Lu Jia is willing to teach him. He doesn't want to delay his studies because of lack of sleep. .And he also wants to show the finished parts to the professor, and do a test by the way. If the parts are available, it will be worth a few hours of sleep for him.

Rong Chun knew that Qiao Xi couldn't be persuaded, so he didn't say anything else. He adjusted the settings of the coffee machine so that Qiao Xi could drink a cup of hot coffee to refresh himself.

Qiao Xi came to the experiment on time and handed over the completed parts to Lu Jia.Lu Jia looked at the small thing in his hand, smiled, and then put it on the detector, and soon the conclusion was displayed on the screen - the parts are available, and the finished product availability rate: 85%...

Seeing the word "Available", Qiao Xi's eyes lit up, and seeing the availability rate later, Qiao Xi was even more surprised. He never thought that the parts composed of the plan he came up with would have such a high reliability. utilization rate.

"Not bad." Lu Jia nodded, looked at the part carefully, and asked, "Is it modified on the basis of the previous one?"

Qiao Xi knows that it is very difficult to judge whether it is usable or not and how to assemble it just by looking at the parts. Professor Lu Jia can directly see that it shows that he has a very thorough understanding of the parts, and it is even possible that this kind of assembly method is what he has long wanted. passed.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi respected Lu Jia even more, "Yes, I saved three parts before, but this time I only saved two. The main reason is to consider its usability. Among the three parts saved before, One played a very critical role in the availability of parts, I added it back, and changed the order of assembly steps, it can be regarded as usable.”

"Very good." Qiao Xi's thought was the same as he thought, and Lu Jia was very happy, "The reason why I asked you to think about the new assembly method of the parts is to tell you that as a mecha maker, you don't have to use it. New method of assembly, but you can't do without ideas and ideas in this area. Indeed, it is very likely that a hundred methods will not be successful, but some methods will not work on this part, but maybe it will be a new assembly method for other parts Thinking. Therefore, in addition to more practice, it is more important to think more when making mechs.”

"Yes." Qiao Xi replied solemnly, "The information you asked me to organize also provided me with ideas, thank you for your guidance."

"I know what I taught you." Luga put the parts into the box and said, "Let's go, there are still many things to do today."

"Okay." Qiao Xi followed.

All morning, Professor Luga's assistants were doing advanced plant gene decomposition experiments and the decomposition of rare ores.Qiao Xi didn't do anything, but followed Lu Jia to watch the steps of each experiment, and she also had a little understanding of how to decompose materials.Because each kind of thing has different ways of decomposing and extracting according to its type and gene, and Qiao Xi needs to memorize all these things, so as to have a clear direction in future applications, so as not to damage or waste materials.

After checking the last box of materials and making sure that there is no problem, Lu Jia said to Qiao Xi, "You should go to dinner too. I have an appointment with Leonard at noon, and I will be back later in the afternoon. You should do experiments with Case first."

"Okay." Seeing that Lu Jia was very happy, Qiao Xi felt that maybe Lu Jia was not passive in this matching marriage.

After walking out of the laboratory, Qiao Xi saw Case standing by the window.Keith is very popular among the assistants in the laboratory. As long as others ask him for help, he will not refuse, and most of them will get answers when they ask him for advice, so both new and old assistants like him very much.

Seeing Qiao Xi coming out, Case smiled and said, "Shall we go to the cafeteria together?"

"Okay." Qiao Xi nodded and followed Case downstairs.He Tian didn't contact him today, probably because he didn't have dinner with him anymore.

On the sofa seat in the cafeteria, Qiao Xi and Case sat face to face. Qiao Xi picked out the dishes that he didn't like one by one. Case just smiled when he saw his actions, and didn't express any opinions.

When Qiao Xi picked out the dishes and started to eat, Case finally said, "It can be seen that the professor likes you very much. In fact, the professor rarely teaches the students himself. His willingness to teach you is also a recognition of you."

"I just came here, and I don't know many places, and I only learned the superficial knowledge of mechs. It is a great honor for me to be taught by the professor." He didn't know Case very well, so he only spoke modestly The polite words, after all, it is taboo to talk lightly and deeply.

Case looked at him with sincere eyes, "The professor is willing to teach you, which means you are talented. Follow the professor and learn hard, and you will become a very good mech maker."

Qiao Xi chuckled and said, "The professor hasn't formally accepted me as a student, and I'm still a long way from becoming a mecha master, so I don't have anything to be proud of. It's more practical to try to learn from the professor. Senior brother Being able to become the professor's assistant is very talented, and he will definitely become a mech master earlier than me, and I will ask my brother to give me more advice."

Case shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "I'm telling the truth, you don't have to be humble. Maybe you will become a mech master earlier than me."

"Senior brother thinks highly of me." Qiao Xi has the confidence to learn mecha well, but he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

"I'm looking forward to the day you become a mecha master." Case looked at Qiao Xi seriously, without any compliment.

"Okay, then I'll borrow a good word from senior brother." Qiao Xi smiled and continued to eat.

Case watched him intently for a while before picking up his chopsticks again and starting to eat.

While Qiao Xi was having lunch with Case, the dishes ordered by Lu Jia and Leonard were also served on the table one after another. This was not a date for the two of them. He Tian who was thinking about something, and Thain who got up to serve soup for several people.

It seems that Qiao Xi can also participate in this kind of dinner, but neither He Tian nor Lu Jia intends to let Qiao Xi come together.If Qiao Xi is He Tian's engagement object or legal partner, then joining their party is nothing special, but now, Qiao Xi is only He Tian's lover, and this kind of relationship with too many uncertainties cannot be accepted by them. It is the same even if He Tian introduces Qiao Xi to Lu Jia as a student.

After Lu Jia finished drinking the soup, he said to He Tian: "Qiao Xi is a very talented child, good at thinking, and smart, very suitable for learning mechs."

"That's good." He Tian nodded.Qiao Xi was introduced to the professor by him, and the professor's approval of Qiao Xi was also his approval.

"It seems that if there is a small problem with the mecha in the future, we can directly ask Qiao Xi to solve it." There is a ready-made mecha repairer around him, and Thain is naturally happy to see it.

"I'm just saying that he's talented, and he hasn't started formal studies yet, so you can't ask him to practice for the time being." Lu Jia felt that Thain was too impatient.

"Anyway, as long as he is still He Tian's person, he will be able to use it sooner or later." As long as He Tian and Qiao Xi are not separated, he still has a chance to find Qiao Xi to repair the mecha.

"Hmm." Lu Jia thought for a moment, then asked He Tian, ​​"Do you like Qiao Xi?"

He Tian looked up at Lu Jia, was silent for a moment, and then said, "He is very special."

Just four words already represented He Tian's thoughts and positions.

Lu Ge sighed slightly, and said, "You think it's not easy for him to be together."

"I didn't think that far." He Tian really didn't think about his future with Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi was just very special to him, and she had an inexplicable attraction to him, which made him want to tie Qiao Xi in by myself.But that's all, only now, no future...

"In this case, as a teacher who wants to accept Qiao Xi as a student, I hope you can arrange your time with Qiao Xi reasonably. He is at the right age to learn mechs. He is talented, smart, and has unlimited energy. And physical practice. You are the same. As a mech warrior, you still have a lot to learn. Adaptability needs to be acquired through repeated practice and a lot of practice. It’s not that I don’t want you to fall in love. On the contrary, I agree with you Go talk about a relationship, but I hope you can allocate your time well, don't delay the other party, and don't delay yourself." Lu Jia said earnestly.

"Luke is right." Leonard also stood on Luga's side, "I have no objection to your falling in love, but you can't delay your practice. Although you haven't made any mistakes recently, you still have to remind you The same is true for Thain, practice should not be delayed in any case."

"Yes." Sean replied bluntly.

"I see." He Tian calmed down and began to seriously consider Lu Jia and Leonard's words.He is confident that he will not delay his practice no matter what, but for Qiao Xi, maybe he should also think about it. After all, it was because Qiao Xi wanted to be his mecha master that he moved to introduce Qiao Xi to Lu Jia. The professor's thinking, if Qiao Xi's time is delayed because of frequent appointments, it's good for him and Qiao Xi, it's a gain and a loss.

The topic about Qiao Xi ended here, and the four of them chatted about the latest weapons, which is one of the most important things for mech warriors. As a weapon developer, Lu Jia is also very interested in new technologies.

There was no desertion during the dinner, mostly Thain and Luga were talking, He Tian and Reina had to add, the four of them seemed to have gotten used to this mode, and the time passed quickly during the pleasant chat...

After Qiao Xi and Case finished their lunch, Case offered to take Qiao Xi to visit the institute.Qiao Xi readily agreed that it would be good for someone to lead the way.

Case led him around from the main building, introducing the arrangement and ownership of the laboratories on each floor, the divisions of the reading room, where other departments are located, and the location of the lounge in the building...then went to the back of the building The mecha warehouse and weapon manufacturing room, and finally go to the back garden located at the southernmost end of the research.

Sitting on the wooden chair, the two held a cup of coffee in each hand. Qiao Xi was really sleepy, so she bought a big cup to refresh herself.

Case looked into the distance and said, "Go straight along this path, and you will find the mecha training ground. There is a side door there, specially opened by Mr. Leonard, so that the professor can find him. You don't have to travel far."

Although there is only one wall between the research institute and the mech training ground, it takes 10 minutes to walk from the main entrance of the research institute to the main entrance of the training ground. It is indeed much more convenient to open a side door.

"However, you need a key card to pass through that door." Case turned to look at Qiao Xi, "There are not many people with a key card, and He Tian is one of them."

"You know He Tian?" Qiao Xi didn't think it was strange that He Tian had a door card. Given his relationship with Leonard and Professor Lu Jia, it was not surprising that he didn't.

Case chuckled and said, "There are not many people in the research institute who don't know him, right? His Youyuan is the mecha made by the professor."

"I see." Qiao Xi was a little surprised that You Sui was the professor's work.

"You don't know?" Case obviously thought that Qiao Xi should know about it.

Qiao Xi shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, "He Tian never told me."

Case was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Are you and He Tian dating?"

Qiao Xi's sleepy mind thought about it quickly, nodded and said, "En."

Qiao Xi didn't think that everyone knew about his relationship with He Tian, ​​but since Case asked, he must have seen something.

"Maybe it's not appropriate for me to say this, but He Tian is not suitable for you." Case said directly.

Qiao Xi smiled slightly and said, "He treats me very well." He didn't know why Case suddenly mentioned this to him, so such a well-behaved answer was the best answer no matter whether it was sincere or not.

Keith looked into Qiao Xi's eyes seriously, and said gently: "You are suitable for someone who can treat you gently, not someone who will never put you first..."

By the bushes behind the two, He Tian was standing there with a cold face, his gray eyes were calm and unwavering, and he could hear the conversation between Case and Qiao Xi clearly, and it was very complete...
