Chapter 817: Chapter 819: Indivisible Mecha
Nian Shutong put the box into the Space Ring and went to eat with everyone.
Around the dining table, it was still the same group of people from yesterday, and everyone greeted Nian Shutong as she approached.
As soon as Nian Shutong sat down, she saw Master Fan bringing her a small pot.
"Boss, this is a small hot pot. The table is too big, and it’s inconvenient for everyone to share one pot. I thought it would be better for each person to have their own, so they can cook what they want, at their convenience."
Nian Shutong noticed that everyone had a small hot pot next to them, and the round table had a rotating tray on top with ingredients for the hot pot.
Isn’t this just like the rotating small hot pot seen at Earth Heart?
Nian Shutong felt touched. Humans are always innovators. As long as you give them a starting point, an idea, they can absolutely develop an industry or create a kingdom.
This is the biggest difference between humans and others. We think, think about how to make our lives better.
"Very good, very convenient."
Nian Shutong’s final approval made Master Fan beam with joy.
"Alright, you all enjoy. I still have a few dishes to prepare."
Master Fan turned back to his work, and everyone was used to it.
Because every time they invited Master Fan, he felt uncomfortable eating and liked to stay in the kitchen, watching them eat.
The more people ate and the more lively it was, the happier Master Fan became.
So no one insisted anymore.
The rotating small hot pot officially began, with everyone enjoying their favorite dishes while chatting away.
The atmosphere was great, and the taste even better.
After the small hot pot ended, everyone helped clear the dishes and utensils to the kitchen, where Rubble had improved the household robots to handle the work.
"Mr. Nian!"
Nian Shutong stopped in her tracks and looked at Ji Sisi, who called her, and asked, "What’s up?"
"Mr. Nian!" Ji Sisi trotted over, excitedly saying to Nian Shutong, "Didn’t you ask me to research mechas? I’ve made some progress and want to show you first."
"Okay."
Nian Shutong naturally agreed, and together with Ji Sisi, went to see the mecha she was researching.
The two of them arrived at Rubble’s workshop, and as soon as they entered, Nian Shutong noticed something different about the workshop.
"Master Rubble drew out a separate space for me to conduct research."
So that’s what happened.
Nian Shutong was unfamiliar with the place, so she followed Ji Sisi inside, but she had the feeling that this mountain was almost hollowed out.
"This mountain?"
"Almost completely excavated. Master Rubble plans to develop underground."
Underground?
"Isn’t this place by the sea? You can still dig down? And this mountain, are you sure it won’t collapse?" Nian Shutong wasn’t worried about the mountain but was concerned about the safety of Rubble and Ji Sisi.
"It shouldn’t collapse. Master Rubble has done the calculations, and the inside of the mountain has been reinforced."
Nian Shutong knew Rubble was impressive, but his development was too fast, and the space here might really be insufficient.
It seems necessary to discuss with Rubble about possibly changing locations.
"Mr. Nian, we’re here."
Ji Sisi stepped aside at the doorway, allowing Nian Shutong to see inside.
The entire room was about dozens of square meters, with nothing in the center. Everything was hung on the walls, giving the room an appearance like a clothing store because each mecha hanging on the wall was different.
"Are these all of them?"
"Yes!"
Ji Sisi stepped inside and began to introduce them to Nian Shutong.
"This one is the lightest, this one has the strongest defense, this one is purely about speed, this one has the most powerful weapons, this one has the best flexibility, and this one is..."
Every time Ji Sisi pointed at one, she introduced it.
After she finished introducing them, Nian Shutong had a major question.
"Ji Sisi, why are they all single-function? Weren’t you always fond of balance?"
Ji Sisi kept nodding, saying, "I still like balance, so these are a whole set, a standard configuration for a team. Together, they are the most powerful and balanced."
This time, it was Nian Shutong’s turn to be surprised. She knew this approach was good, but for Ji Sisi to achieve this, she must have undergone some mental struggle.
"Why did you do it this way?"
Ji Sisi looked at Nian Shutong and said, "Because this room itself is a balance, and it can’t be dismantled. I can accept that."
"They must be a whole."
"Alright, then I’d like to know, whose idea was this?"
"The Crown Prince."
Nian Shutong then remembered that Ji Sisi could potentially be a future Crown Princess Consort or Empress. She had almost forgotten about that.
"Ji Sisi, you’ve done an amazing job. I really like it. This room full of mechas is like our Blue Star, an effort by all of us, not something any one individual can complete."
"Hmm!"
Ji Sisi smiled happily, as Mr. Nian praised her.
After finishing with the mecha topic, Nian Shutong, in an uncommon moment of gossip, asked, "How are things between you and the Crown Prince?"
Ji Sisi’s expression showed no trace of the shyness typical of someone in love, but instead a hint of struggle.
"What? Did the Crown Prince bully you?"
Nian Shutong seemed ready to seek revenge on the Crown Prince, but Ji Sisi immediately stopped her and said, "No."
"Mr. Nian, I want to give Dou Dou a complete home, so I’ve been trying hard to accept the Crown Prince, but it doesn’t seem to work."
"I don’t even know what liking someone is, but I can’t seem to remember the Crown Prince, often forgetting about him, and when talking to him, I don’t feel anything. I always want to hang up quickly once we connect."
"All my thoughts are on the mechas."
Nian Shutong was also inexperienced in love, but she found that on Blue Star, she had become more experienced.
Lin Mu had asked her once, and now it was Ji Sisi’s turn.
Suddenly, she felt a special sense of importance.
"Ji Sisi, I don’t know how you and the Crown Prince should interact. It’s an issue for just the two of you to resolve, and I can’t interfere."
"I think you could have an open and honest talk. As for Dou Dou, as long as you both love him, he will accept any outcome."
Ji Sisi nodded vigorously, saying, "I will."
After Nian Shutong finished speaking, she looked at the room full of mechas and asked, "Have you applied for patents for these mechas?"
"Not yet. I wanted to show them to Mr. Nian first."
"Good." Nian Shutong patted Ji Sisi’s head and then said, "Apply for the patents. Once they are granted, we can wear test them ourselves for a while. Once we have good data, we’ll prepare for the next step."
"Okay."
Ji Sisi fully listened to Nian Shutong.
Nian Shutong’s idea was to possibly cooperate with the Legion, but that could wait until the tests were done.
As she left the workshop, she encountered Rubble halfway and casually asked if they should consider changing locations?
"Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble cannot be moved because all systems on Blue Star are established around this base point."
