The little female soldier who was desperate to find her family became a national hero

Chapter 207 Undercurrent

She frowned and recalled some embarrassing things that happened when she was with Shen Yiyi:

"It seems like there's nothing else on his mind except the modification of the tree armor. It's like he's missing a nerve."

"Haha, is this so interesting?" Steve seemed to be intrigued by Elizabeth's words. "It's rare to see you interested in evaluating someone."

"The average person is not worth my time to judge."

Elizabeth replied coldly as she stood up, took out a bottle of water from the small refrigerator in the corner of the monitoring room and threw it to Steve.

Her movements were smooth and natural, as if it was all a matter of course.

Steve didn't care about Elizabeth's attitude. He reached out and took the bottle of water she threw to him. He unscrewed the cap gracefully, took a sip, and then said with a smile:

"No matter where I go, I can always find good tea or fine wine, but here I can only get this tasteless bottled water."

There was a hint of teasing in his words, but it also revealed the familiarity between the two.

Then, he screwed the cap on the bottle, put the bottle at his feet, and continued to say to Elizabeth in a funny tone: "Do you remember that you also commented on me?"

Elizabeth also took out a bottle of water, tilted her head back and drank half of it in one gulp. Then she wiped her mouth with her sleeve in a very ungraceful manner, but her eyes were fixed on the screen. She responded absentmindedly:

"Oh, really? I really don't remember."

Steve smiled and said, "That was the first time I sent you flowers and gifts, and you only replied me with two words - 'xx'."

Hearing this, Elizabeth finally turned her gaze away from the screen and looked at Steve, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised:

"Yeah, I remember now. I was too young back then. Now I should say 'big xx', which is more elegant."

Elizabeth seemed to have a lot of opinions about Steve, and was trying to bully him in both overt and covert ways.

Steve seemed to have sensed this as well. He tapped the back of the chair lightly with his hand, then said with a wry smile:

"Okay, Yi Yi, don't be so critical of me. Don't forget that we are partners."

Elizabeth turned her head, frowned, and said with obvious displeasure:

"Oh, my respected First Prince Steve, you'd better call me Elizabeth. Only my father can call me 'Yiyi'."

Steve raised his hands helplessly, making a gesture of surrender, and then changed the subject:

"Speaking of your father, how is General Campedela's health recovering now?"

Elizabeth regained her composure and continued in her official tone:

"Thanks to you, my father has recovered well. He also asked me to express his respects to you on his behalf."

Steve sighed helplessly and said, "General Canpedra is my most trusted friend, but I didn't expect his daughter to be so hostile to me."

Elizabeth showed a slightly sarcastic smile on her face and said:

"Since my father is your most trusted friend, can you promise to protect our family?"

Steve heard this and pondered for a while, then said seriously:

"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I can't make any promises to your father or you until King Macbeth makes the final decision."

Having said this, he turned and walked to the other door of the monitoring room and added:

"The transformation of this tree armor involves many aspects in the future. If you can stand out, I think it will be much easier for me to speak for your family in front of the emperor."

He paused for a moment, seeing that Elizabeth did not respond, he sighed slightly and said:

"I think I should take my leave now. Thanks for taking care of me here."

"Goodbye." There was no emotion in Elizabeth's words, but her eyes revealed a determination.

The automatic door opened and closed, and the room returned to silence.

The undercurrent in the monitoring room had just subsided, and over there in Workshop No. 0, the engineers' complaints about the long stature and short legs of the "wheelchair baboon" had just come to an end.

In fact, only Miss Shen knew that the reason why this tree armor was designed with a long body and short legs was mainly out of necessity.

In order to make this tree armor have both the off-road capability of the animal-shaped tree armor and a certain degree of rapid road maneuverability, the design team painstakingly designed a hybrid drive method for the legs.

The combination of wheels and walking legs can only choose a long body and short legs structure to maintain stability.

After complaining, the next step is to put forward suggestions for improvement.

At this time, many engineers finally quieted down, and everyone was at a loss.

Because if you want to modify it to be outstanding, the structural changes are too complicated and involve many projects, which cannot be completed in a short time.

It also requires the joint efforts of dozens of people and several months to produce results.

That amount of work is no less than redesigning and manufacturing a completely new tree armor.

However, if they just engage in small-scale fighting, they will not be able to demonstrate their strength in the brilliant movement, and will instead be looked down upon by the military, thus losing future opportunities.

Faced with this situation, the one who had the most headache was Yu Qianli.

As a newly promoted person in charge, he knew that whether the transformation of the tree armor could be successful was a crucial matter for his company.

If the modification of this project can be approved by the military, then Hua Cai Yue Zhang will be given priority in the subsequent process of conversion from civilian to military.

By then, the work the company will be able to take on will focus on the research and transformation of advanced military tree armor.

This will have unimaginable benefits for the company's technological advancement and expansion.

However, if this modification fails, then in the days to come, the company will only be able to do the rough work of repairing low-level mass-produced tree armor every day.

And the technical talents that the company has worked so hard to accumulate will be ruthlessly transferred away and assigned to other companies.

By then, the colorful music will be completely reduced to a small and insignificant shrimp.

Thinking of this, Yu Qianli really put on a mask of pain.

And he was not the only one wearing a mask of pain, Shen Yiyi was also wearing one.

Of course, her pain was not that she couldn't think of any modification plans. On the contrary, she had too many modification plans.

Because when the tree armor was disassembled and analyzed at the Sanjiangyuan Weapons Design Center, several small teams proposed countless modification plans.

Among them, more than ten stood out, and these plans were stored in her mind, which now has an excellent memory.

What was worrying her now was how to take advantage of this opportunity to do something bad.
