Song Ren ran like a cheetah.
He knew from the beginning that Lin Fan would transform into a mecha.
After so many days of getting along and being monitored, Lin Fan is no different from an ordinary person except for his quirks that attract attention.
Such behavior subtly misled him, causing the extremely important matter of "Lin Fan can transform" to remain only on the surface of words in his mind.
Until now.
The office building was some distance away from the Pangu test site, but it was nothing to Song Ren, and he arrived there in a flash.
Pangu's engine had been shut down at some point, and the steel giant stood quietly like a cold sculpture.
Song Ren saw the motionless figure at Fu Pangu's feet and rushed over.
It’s Lin Fan!
Her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and she was curled up in a shallow pit in front of Pangu's feet, surrounded by spider web cracks.
Song Ren knelt on one knee, half-knelt, stretched out his trembling hand, and probed under her nose.
Breathe!
Very good!
After breathing a sigh of relief, Song Ren finally focused his attention on quickly analyzing the current situation.
Lin Fan's breathing was steady and strong, proving that he was not in danger of death.
Looking around, there were no obvious injuries, fractures or bleeding. Apart from the pale face, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
The shallow pits and web-like cracks under the body should be the marks caused by falling.
The ground at Pangu's test site had to bear Pangu's weight, so the material was naturally strong, but no one expected it to be smashed into this state by Lin Fan.
Does that mean that the shell material of Lin Fan's mecha is harder than the ground?
"Boss!" Li Chunhua caught up.
Before he could take a closer look at Pangu, he saw Lin Fan, who shouldn't be there, lying on his side like a dead person.
Why was she here? When did she get here? Wasn't she just on the terrace with them?
Li Chunhua had a bunch of questions in her head, and finally blurted out: "What happened to her?"
"Be alert! Don't let anyone else get close!" Song Ren gave the order quickly.
"Yes!" Even though Li Chunhua had a thousand words to ask, he chose to execute the order first.
Song Ren frowned.
Regardless of whether she had a mecha or not, Lin Fan had fallen from a high altitude. With her injuries still unknown, Song Ren didn't dare touch her casually. He needed a professional doctor and an ambulance.
Pangu is testing the aircraft, and there must be an ambulance on standby near the site.
The entire area is now closed to traffic. Xie Bisheng is in control of the situation in the control room. At this moment, he can definitely make personnel adjustments much faster than Cui Yan.
Without hesitation, he immediately called Xie Bisheng.
At the same time, the Pangu control room was also in an uproar.
A few minutes ago, everyone was sitting steadily behind the console, watching Pangu take several steps smoothly, and his movements became smoother and smoother.
Suddenly, the sensor system flashed red and began to report errors.
Before the researchers could react, Pangu suddenly got stuck in his previous step, and the gravity sensing system also started to report errors.
Immediately afterwards, Pangu lost his balance and fell backwards.
Falling down is not a big deal. It’s a good opportunity to test Pangu’s shock absorption system.
But because there was no time to give the order, the driver subconsciously tried to support himself with his hands according to his daily training habits to control his body from falling.
Pangu unexpectedly displayed unprecedented flexibility and successfully turned over!
If it's just turning over, it's nothing.
Pangu's Eye, that is, in the cockpit, there is a camera facing the transparent window, and the angle is equivalent to the driver's perspective.
People in the control room can experience Pangu's perspective through this camera and synchronize everything the driver sees on the screen.
Everyone was horrified to find that after turning over, the tip of the tower happened to be facing the center of the window and was about to pierce the cockpit.
At this point, the driver no longer had time to react.
Everyone in the control room held their breath, and when they saw spider-web cracks forming from the top of the tower to the window, many people couldn't help but close their eyes.
Just when the tip of the tower was about to pierce the window, Pangu suddenly stopped falling.
Hmm? This is...
"Pangu, what did you do?" the chief engineer turned on the microphone and asked.
"Report to the control room, I didn't do anything." The Pangu driver didn't dare to move. He had just thought he was dead, and he thought the control room had saved him by operating the background program in time.
Then, everyone saw on the screen that the thick tip of the tower was withdrawn from the window little by little and slowly retreated out.
"Cut to a full-body shot!" the chief engineer ordered quickly.
In order to observe Pangu from all angles, several long-range cameras were set up near the test site, which can capture the entire body of Pangu.
Many images are displayed on the screen at the same time, but unimportant angles are usually small images and displayed in the corners as an auxiliary.
The picture flashed, and the big screen switched to a full-body shot of Pangu.
In the vast image, Pangu's hands were suspended in the air, not touching the ground. A conspicuous white object appeared in front of his tilted body. It hovered just below Pangu's window, at the level of his chin. No wonder it couldn't be seen from the cockpit.
"Zoom in on the white area." The chief engineer narrowed his eyes.
Zoom in.
Everyone was amazed to see a white figure pushing Pangu Head slowly away from the top of the tower.
It was a humanoid mecha, and due to the angle, the front couldn't be seen. Its entire body was covered in a white mecha shell, with only two square red lights on its back, just below the shoulder blades, likely the driving mechanism.
Many researchers stood up.
The white figure, which was only the size of Pangu's finger joint, actually pushed Pangu back little by little!
The researchers were collectively speechless.
"...How heavy was Pangu?" a researcher asked doubtfully.
The researcher next to him flipped through the documents quickly, staring at them, and read out in a trembling voice: "One... more than 1,800 tons..."
Everyone stared at the slender white mecha, which held Pangu's head and pushed Pangu back to an upright position.
"Where did this mecha come from?"
“So flexible!”
"It's very powerful, it can pull up Pangu!"
“Which project team’s results?”
"The humanoid mecha wants to ask Xia Jing! Where is Xia Jing?"
"Xia Jing, is your humanoid mecha making such great progress? Why didn't I hear any news?"
“Snap!”
Xia Jing stood up suddenly, knocking over the chair under him.
Lin Fan!
When he first saw the white mecha, he was stunned for a long time and didn't react.
Knowing and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things!
He was very clear about the progress of the base's humanoid mecha research, which was not something he could tell outsiders.
Although Lin Fan's mecha picture was only a blurry white concept drawing, the mecha that now appeared on the screen met all the characteristics!
It's humanoid! It's white! It can fly! It's incredibly powerful!
Unless another mecha man appears, it can only be Lin Fan!
As far as he knew, Lin Fan was still in an unstable state!
Xia Jing frowned and looked back anxiously, trying to find Xie Bisheng, but heard bursts of exclamations in his ears.
“Ah~~!”
Turning back, on the huge screen, the white mecha seemed to lose power and plummeted. It was so fast that it disappeared from the magnified image in an instant.
When the researcher quickly switched to the panoramic view, he saw her fall heavily to the ground and never move again.
The control room, which was noisy just now, suddenly became silent.
"Quick, cut over there." Xie Bisheng shouted, and he also realized who it was.
You can't blame him for being slow to react.
Lin Fan has been here for such a long time, but because there has been no progress, Yu Guangli has never reported to Xie Bisheng.
The 800 had so many things to do that over time, the older Xie Bisheng had forgotten about Lin Fan. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes now, he didn't know when he would remember her again.
The camera switches quickly.
But no matter how you cut it, it will be blocked by Pangu's huge feet. Apart from a black spot exposed outside that you can't tell what it is, you can't see anything else.
"Isn't it because the increased power caused it to run out of energy and eventually fall down?"
"Have humanoid mechas been developed so successfully? They can fly, but they're not very stable."
"That's a pretty big blow, are you okay?"
…
A group of people began to talk again.
"Control room, are you operating it? I don't see any instructions." The driver's puzzled voice came.
If the control room was operating Pangu in the background, the control instructions would be synchronized on the cockpit display. But he saw nothing.
"There's no operation in the control room," the chief engineer replied with a frown. "It's... an external force that pushed Pangu upright."
"Pangu, shut down the engine immediately!" Xie Bisheng ordered, turning on the microphone. "Don't do anything yet."
"Engine shut down, awaiting further orders," the driver replied. He had a hunch, hesitated, and asked, "Can I know what's going on?"
"The colleague who was pushing Pangu...had an equipment failure, lost power and fell at Pangu's feet. To prevent any accidents, wait until the ambulance takes the people away before you start pushing again." Xie Bisheng estimated that Lin Fan might not be able to withstand a kick from Pangu now.
"Yes." The driver said nothing.
Xie Bisheng quickly arranged for the ambulance waiting near the test site to go and rescue people first.
Just as he was getting anxious, Song Ren appeared on the screen. He flashed by quickly, disappearing behind Pangu's feet. A moment later, Li Chunhua also passed by.
"What happened just now was..." A researcher saw it.
"Someone went to take a look, but I wonder what the situation is?" someone asked worriedly.
Xia Jing recognized Song and Li, and his worry not only did not decrease, but became even more anxious.
Then, Xie Bisheng's phone rang and he answered it immediately.
"Deputy Chief Xie, I am now at the foot of Pangu. Lin Fan fell from a high altitude and is unconscious. He is not in danger of life, but his condition is unclear. An ambulance is needed to deal with it as soon as possible." Song Ren stated briefly without waiting for the other party to speak.
"The ambulance has already left..." Xie Bisheng had just said that when Yu Guangli called again. He hurriedly said, "Take 623 back to Doctor Xiao first, and report back if there's any further progress. Team Leader Yu is on the phone!"
After hanging up Song Ren's phone, he called Yu Guangli again: "Yes, yes, I understand. Ask Dr. Xiao and the others to wait downstairs. The ambulance has already arrived. I'll have someone open the door right away. Pangu can't leave yet! You guys take care of it first, and report it if it's an emergency!"
After Xie Bisheng hung up, he called the control center again. "Control center? This is Xie Bisheng. Please immediately open all the gates to 623 and the exits to the office building."
Xie Bisheng arranged everything, took a sip of water, and finally calmed down the irritability in his heart.
When he looked up, a pair of curious eyes were staring at him.
Oh no! So many people saw it!
He didn't show it on his face. He composed his words and said lightly, "The white mecha just now is the latest research project of the humanoid mecha department. The technology is not yet mature, so there was a problem. Everyone knows the rules. The confidentiality agreement will be sent over later for everyone to sign."
"Deputy Director Xie, how is the driver who saved Pangu injured?" a researcher asked worriedly.
"I'll inform everyone later. Don't worry, the institute will do everything it can to treat the patient," Xie Bisheng reassured him, then ordered, "Everyone, the most important thing now is to fix the problem. Pangu can't afford a second 'accident'."
The researchers also knew the rules. Although they were a little curious and worried about the white mecha, they were ultimately no match for Pangu, whom they had spent thousands of days and nights researching, so they quickly returned to work.
Xia Jing also sat steadily in his seat.
He had to finish Pangu's work quickly and return to Lin Fan as soon as possible!
