Chapter 814: Making Things Difficult For Zi Yi
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Engineer Meng said that, he turned around and continued staring at the robot lying on the mechanical bed.
Similarly, the other four engineers also shifted their attention back to the robot.
The five of them were discussing how they were planning to improve it.
Thus, they had left Zi Yi standing over there to the side.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and thought of what her Second Uncle said. In the end, she did not say anything.
Mr. Tang walked over to Zi Yi’s side and said to her, “Little Zi, don’t take it to heart. As long as you have the abilities, they will acknowledge you sooner or later.”
Zi Yi nodded her head.
Mr. Tang also said, “You can have a look around here first. I called you here in hopes that you can join the S-Class AI robot team. Our country is lacking compared to Country D in this aspect. During the International Robot Competition happening in mid-March, we have to come up with robots which are better than theirs.”
Zi Yi said, “Ok.”
“Take a look first. If you need anything, you can directly call Little Zhu to look for me.”
Mr. Tang was planning to leave Guard Zhu behind.
However, Zi Yi rejected the arrangement. “No need. I can solve the problems myself.”
Seeing that Zi Yi was really not worried at all, Mr. Tang decided not to have Guard Zhu stay behind after thinking it through. In the end, he left together with Guard Zhu.
Zi Yi did not head over to the table with the robot either. She just stood by and looked at how the five engineers discussed how they were going to extend the energy storage capacity of the robot.
Mr. Tang, who left the building, got in the car and returned to his office building.
There were already several other leaders who were sitting in the conference room inside the office building.
When Mr. Tang went in and took a seat, someone asked worriedly,”Is it really okay for you to arrange her there?”
There were no longer any traces of the previous smile on his face and he seemed very stern right now. “We have to create an S-Class AI robot before the competition in mid-March. Otherwise, what should we take out for the competition?”
Another leader said, “Moonlight is our secret weapon and now that Little Zi was transferred to the team halfway, it’s possible that the other five engineers might feel uncomfortable. Besides, Country D will definitely make some moves in the near future. I’m worried that talents in our research base will be bribed.”
“Mhmm.” Mr. Tang was silent for a moment before he then said, “Send someone to protect Little Zi. With her working around here, if someone here was really to be bribed by another party, her skills will definitely be spread around. We cannot let anyone spread around the full extent of her capabilities.”
Mr. Tang could sense that Zi Yi was definitely more capable than what she let on. Toward such a genius, the country would certainly protect her with great efforts.
“Intensify the efforts to investigate everyone inside the base, don’t let people take advantage of any loopholes.”
“Since that’s the case, why don’t we seal the research base and prevent everyone from leaving.”
“No. Little Zi has to go out.”
She was pregnant right now and it was already good that she was willing to personally make a trip down to the base. If they were to keep her locked up here, perhaps she might fight back.
…
The Robot R&D Center.
Zi Yi stood there for half an hour and the five engineers still did not seem as though they had any intentions of paying her any notice.
She found it a little boring and so she simply turned around and walked elsewhere. She planned to see the standard of the robots inside this building, or perhaps if there were any special robot materials she might be interested in.
As soon as she left, Engineer Yang furrowed his brow and said, “She doesn’t have any patience at all. I really wonder if she’s the one who created those robots.”
Engineer Peng scoffed. “I heard that Second Young Master Lu has plenty of capable men under him. Since she has married him, it’s easy for him to back her up.”
Engineer Meng asked, “Since that’s the case, why did Mr. Tang bring her here to our team?”
“Other than the Second Young Master Lu, there’s still this layer of connection from Second Master Lu. Perhaps Mr. Tang casually transferred her here for their sake.”
“Then are we going to be babysitters?”
Speaking of this, the engineers were all unhappy.
“Hmph, do they really think this is a casual place where people can just come and play? Even if it’s babysitting, the task should be left to her Uncle instead!”
“In that case, we should find a way to get her to leave on her own volition. The things we develop here are not something that just anybody can know.”
“That’s right. She’s still so young and if she doesn’t keep her mouth shut, and leaks the state secret, who will take responsibility?”
“Let’s just get her to randomly assemble a robot. If she can’t do that, we’ll get her to leave.”
“It just so happens that the pile of discarded parts hasn’t yet been thrown away.”
After they discussed among themselves, Engineer Meng called out to Zi Yi, “Zi Yi.”
Zi Yi turned around to look at him.
Engineer Meng pointed in a direction and said, “There is a pile of parts over there. If you can create a robot, we’ll let you follow us and develop the S-Class AI robot.”
Zi Yi did not say anything. She merely nodded and walked towards the pile.
Engineer Yang roasted her upon seeing her reaction. “Sure enough, she’s just a child. She didn’t even ask us what to assemble. I don’t believe she can assemble anything from that pile of discarded parts.”
In the following period of time, the five engineers would intentionally and unintentionally glance in her direction. However, those actions gradually stopped as they could not even be bothered to check on her anymore.
After Zi Yi walked over to the pile of discarded parts, the first thing she did was to see what parts were there.
Subsequently, she picked out the parts one by one and placed them to one side. Seeing that there was a marker pen nearby, she picked it up and marked the parts she had picked out.
After she finished taking out all the parts she needed, she started assembling them.
She planned to assemble a mechanical horse. As she required some of the larger and heavier parts, and it was hard for her to lift them up, she decided to create a semi-automatic piece of installation equipment first. She only had to stand to one side and move her fingers to assemble the larger parts.
By the time the group of engineers remembered to check up on Zi Yi, it was already an hour later.
They were surprised by the mechanical horse she had assembled.
“She actually managed to assemble a mechanical horse so quickly?”
“To think that she even knows how to make a piece of installation equipment.”
“It seems like she’s not that much of an idiot after all.
“If she can’t even do such a simple thing like assembling external parts, how could Mr. Tang possibly throw her to us? No matter what machinery it is, the most important thing is whether the control panel is good or not and along with various functions.”
The few of them stood there looking at Zi Yi picking up a blank circuit board and sitting down as she welded the connecting lines with a soldering pen.
“Her movements aren’t very skilled. It seems like she can only work with the exterior parts.”
Zi Yi disliked this type of backwards circuit board. It did not take long for her to stop and look around.
She wanted to check if there was an automatic welder. Sure enough, she saw the equipment not too far away and was about to get up and grab it.
However, as soon as she stood up and walked over, Engineer Meng called out to her, “Zi Yi, what are you doing?”
“Making the control panel.”
Engineer Yang put on a fierce expression. “Some equipment here has already been adjusted and you can’t move them anyhow you like.”
Engineer Chu chimed in and said, “That’s right. If you really are skilled, then create that mechanical horse of yours without borrowing any other advanced equipment.”
Zi Yi’s expression turned cold. “Are you trying to make things difficult for me on purpose?”
