Chapter 355: Winslet Invites You to a Party

The nano project is progressing smoothly, with a thousand nanorobots ready to attempt installation on the Mobile Suit.

At this moment, He Kui has also returned here with his Liberator.

"Director He!"

As soon as he entered the office, the many employees inside had already prepared and stood up in unison.

They greeted He Kui with bright spirits.

"Continue working."

Having gotten used to it, He Kui simply said this in a calm manner.

"Understood!"

At this time, Hoss had gone to the moon to oversee the company's operations.

Without the somewhat noisy Hoss around, He Kui glanced around the scene and felt a bit out of place.

Not staying long, He Kui took Meyrin to the familiar testing ground.

At this moment, the quantum communication notification device had been fitted with a shell and integrated onto He Kui's Liberator.

There were no wings or anything; just a tall A-shaped antenna structure standing high on the back of the Liberator.

The Nano Machines are stored within this A-shaped structure, with one structure capable of holding a thousand nanorobots.

It contains an electric shock device, which can directly use the Mobile Suit's power to trigger an EMP effect at close range if necessary.

However, the EMP's electromagnetic pulse attack itself has no defensive function.

But incapacitating a Mobile Suit at close range is not a problem.

As for how these Nano Machines generate a large amount of current after detaching from the Mobile Suit, He Kui used heat conversion.

As long as a small battery is embedded inside the opponent's Mobile Suit, it can absorb the heat generated within the Mobile Suit and convert it into its own power for attack.

It's a bit complex, but for He Kui, who is skilled with magnetic fields, it is certainly achievable.

"However, since Director He, your design can absorb heat, could these nanorobots also serve as a means of defense?" 

Joule, with her cold phoenix eyes, stared directly at He Kui. Her face remained its usual indifferent expression, but her gaze held a hint of eagerness after hearing He Kui's words.

Naturally, it made sense to think that these nanorobots could resist all heat-based beam attacks, and using that heat could also incapacitate the opponent's equipment.

It would be a perfect combination of offense and defense, and quite overpowered.

If it could be realized, it would be a force capable of dominating a battlefield.

"The heat emitted from the Mobile Suit itself is relatively gentle and stable, but if it's energy like beams, it would directly destroy these fragile robots."

"Mm."

Upon hearing this, Joule lowered her gaze.

Meanwhile, Heinlein, who had been quietly following the two, opened his mouth to say something but was preempted by He Kui ahead of him.

"However, it's not impossible."

"What?" 

Joule shot a glance at He Kui, as if blaming him for not being clear in his explanation.

"We can use the properties of Mirage particles to cover the nanorobots, polarizing the energy that spills out during the beam deflection process, which would allow the internal Nano Machines to recharge."

"Can we start working on it now?"

Upon hearing He Kui's words, Joule, usually calm, had a hint of excitement in her tone.

"Mirage particles have limitations and cannot perform such precise operations."

This time, Heinlein spoke up before He Kui could respond.

"Isn't that right, Teacher He?"

"Just call me He Kui."

Due to their age difference, Heinlein always felt it was strange to call him teacher.

"However, overall, as Heinlein said, we do not have enough research support for Mirage particles. To thoroughly study it will take time."

This is not as simple as attaching it to a shield or a small aircraft; it involves attaching it to Nano Machines.

The units are too small, and even if it can be done, it won't be happening right now.

But as long as he is given time, it is still possible.

"Then I'll trouble you to keep an eye on that side as well."

Joule, hearing this, felt a bit disappointed but still nodded to the two.

"Alright."

"Currently, Director He has quite a few projects on his plate. In this battle on Earth, Director Heinlein's abilities have also been confirmed, so Director He can try delegating some projects to him."

As soon as Joule finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat strange.

Regardless of Joule's true intentions, she was indeed putting pressure on He Kui.

To put it more harshly, it was like abandoning a donkey after it has carried the load.

"Of course, we will also support your company's interests on the moon, and your security team can also be allowed to expand and recruit Red Coat Elite."

"Joule, you are too kind. I will certainly teach Director Heinlein the knowledge and development ideas related to Nym alloy."

After Joule said this, He Kui nodded.

He is not a sheep without the ability to resist; he can't just be taken advantage of without some cost. Things are no longer as they used to be; they need to provide him with some benefits to balance the scales.

"Thank you, Teacher He."

Hearing this, Heinlein, caught between the two, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly spoke up.

Does he want to learn? Of course, he does.

But if this angers He Kui, it would be counterproductive.

Knowledge is always in He Kui's mind; if he doesn't teach it, Heinlein can only research it slowly.

And being caught in the middle makes it hard for him to navigate.

Thinking this, Heinlein sighed inwardly, feeling exhausted. He just wanted to do some research, yet he had to be caught between the two.

The three of them quickly began the test.

There were no drivers; everything was done via remote control.

As before, a thousand Nano Machines deployed from the A-shaped structure's box inside the Mobile Suit.

However, unlike the previous inconspicuous ten, the thousand nanorobots were now barely visible to the naked eye.

One could faintly see through the thick glass wall of the testing area that a mist-like substance was spreading towards the opposing Dagger series.

Slowly, that layer of mist entered the already heated Dagger series.

Soon, the originally lit eyes of the Dagger series, acting as monitors, began to flicker, and the entire Mobile Suit emitted a crackling sound, as if short-circuiting. Then, this imposing Dagger series collapsed to the ground, losing all power.

"The test was very successful."

"Congratulations, Director He."

Heinlein, as the main assistant, checked the monitoring screen in front of him and soon turned back with a rare smile.

"That's good."

Compared to Meyrin's excited demeanor behind him, He Kui remained calm, merely curling the corners of his mouth into a faint smile.

The previous verification phase had already been tested, so it was not surprising that this time it passed.

"Congratulations."

Joule, having just finished that awkward topic with He Kui, now had a softer expression on her face.

"Your company will soon have good news."

"Thank you. By the way, how is the current situation on Earth?"

"Not bad, it has dampened the Atlantic Federation's momentum."

"Good, then I'll head back now."

Seeing that Joule seemed reluctant to say much more, He Kui nodded.

"Wait, Winslet Company has come up; they specifically want you to attend a party. If you have time, you should go."

"You should like it."

He Kui, being a bit of a flirt, had no idea how far the rumors had spread. That little princess seemed to like him quite a bit.

Given He Kui's personality, Joule didn't believe he would just accept it without question.

If he could use this opportunity to win over that wavering company, it would be a good choice.

Although He Kui's stance was also uncertain, he still stood with PLANT.

In a sense, they were also one of their own.

"Good."

"Thank you."

He Kui, upon hearing this, was not too surprised. He simply lowered his gaze and nodded before looking at Meyrin.

"Let's go."

"Ah, okay!"

At this moment, Meyrin, who had been lost in thought watch

ing He Kui speak confidently in front of Joule, finally snapped back to reality upon hearing He Kui's voice and responded.
