Song Ren didn't stay in the director's office for long.
After returning, Li Chunhua did not come over to talk like before. She still sat in front of the monitor, staring at the still picture without moving.
Song Ren didn't say anything, just took his clothes and went into the bathroom.
The sound of splashing water was heard, and Li Chunhua turned around, looked at the place where he had just stood, and sighed.
Ever since he learned the truth about Lin Fan's transformation, the daily surveillance work has always been particularly difficult for him.
When Lin Fan first came, he was somewhat dissatisfied with her and always wanted to find fault with her through the surveillance.
Of course it's impossible to succeed.
When he was alone, Lin Fan spent most of his time lying in bed, either watching TV or going to sleep. The surveillance footage showed mostly still images, rarely moving.
He and Song Ren watched all night long. He yawned frequently, and in his heart he wondered what the point of this surveillance was: What was the point?
Later, when he learned that Lin Fan could transform, he finally understood why he was watching her. But then, his stance changed again. Lin Fan had become his own child, and staring at him every day was incredibly perverted, wasn't it?
It's obviously pointless, but I have to do it. I feel really bad about it, but I can't help but do it.
Don’t ask! The question is the task.
I stole a glance at the screen. Yeah, Lin Fan went to the bathroom and went back to lie down. Having two old men monitor a woman, the boss is really...
Li Chunhua shook his head and looked back at the surveillance screen.
What if Lin Fan finds out one day, will they be beaten to death?
He sighed again and prayed secretly: If only the boss could bring back an order to end the surveillance one day...
Song Ren was immersed in cold water, and Cui Yan's words kept appearing in his mind.
"You can't kill it," Cui Yan said coldly, "You can only kill Lin Fan."
Cui Yan didn't seem to care about Lin Fan's control over the mecha. She was only concerned about whether Song Ren could suppress her.
After Cui Yan learned that the 623 troops were helpless against the 818 troops, he specially equipped Song Ren and Li Chunhua with the latest weapons. Although he was unable to use them, he was certain that they would have no effect on Lin Fan's mecha.
In order to eliminate this threat, we have to do it before Lin Fan transforms.
Song Renneng can attack the mecha, and will fight back even if he is defeated.
But can he attack Lin Fan?
Cui Yan obviously didn't need his answer, but just kept reminding Song Ren what the real purpose of sending him to Lin Fan was.
For a moment, Song Ren's expectation for Lin Fan to be able to control the mecha exceeded Lin Fan himself.
As long as Lin Fan can successfully control the mecha, can the alert be lifted?
not necessarily!
When he was unable to control it, he was wary of the huge destructive power brought by the mecha, and Lin Fan was just a small role.
Once Lin Fan completely controlled the mecha, the target of vigilance would truly become Lin Fan...
Song Ren shook his head violently, put aside these messy thoughts, and quickly washed himself.
The next day at work, Yu Guangli brought everyone the latest good news.
Xie Bisheng said that there was a large X-ray machine that was 3 meters high on Pangu's side.
No one asked why there was such a large X-ray device. It was simply developed specifically for a certain research purpose.
But it was indeed solved, taking a full-body X-ray of Lin Fan's mecha to understand the urgent need for internal structure.
Although it would take some time for Lin Fan to recover before he could transform again, everyone was still overjoyed and walked happily.
Using the video of his last transformation, Xia Jing created the latest 3D image of the mecha, which is now on display in the laboratory 24 hours a day.
Because 818 has not yet produced any research results and is an important energy source for evolution, it has been locked in a safe in the laboratory.
It was replaced by the latest 3D mecha imaging, standing in the center of the laboratory. Anyone who opened the door could see the majestic red and white mecha.
"I say, shouldn't we give her a name?" Zhang Zhaojie said as he drew a picture. "Calling her 'mecha mecha' all the time doesn't seem to be enough of a priority."
Ke Wenbin agreed, "Yeah, saying 'Lin Fan's transformed mecha' or 'Lin Fan's mecha' is a bit awkward."
Although the mecha and Lin Fan are one, their states are too different, so there should be a distinction.
"Lin Fan is Lin Fan, and the mecha is the mecha." Yu Guangli nodded in agreement. "Just like Pangu, she should also have a resounding code name."
"And now that it has a code name, it won't seem to be related to Lin Fan to outsiders." Xia Jing also felt that the mecha should have an independent name.
The fewer people who know about Lin Fan's affairs, the better. If they get used to saying "Lin Fan's mecha," and someone overhears it when they're not paying attention, it could cause unexpected risks and trouble. It's better to give it a code name.
"What should I call it?" Zhang Zhaojie became excited again.
Yu Guangli quickly stopped him: "Just focus on the work at hand. We can discuss the naming issue at the meeting later."
Ever since Zhang Zhaojie successfully named 818, he has developed an inexplicable obsession with naming. But no one is willing to endure the torture a second time.
Once the name of a mecha is determined, it needs to be recited frequently.
Look at the 3D development in the center of the laboratory. It’s so majestic. Who could have the heart to give it such a weird name?
The others looked away, feeling terrified, and thought about looking through the literature to see if there was a good name they could use.
Although the last transformation event was very short, with the help of slow-motion camera footage, several people have calculated the external data of the mecha.
Zhang Zhaojie was busy designing the exterior. Following Lin Fan's mecha's form, he tweaked and improved 800's original humanoid mecha, making it look more like the evolved mecha.
Yu Guangli studied the power structure of the mecha, and then discussed with Zhang Zhaojie which parts of the humanoid mecha's appearance needed to be modified.
While studying the 818 prototype, Ke Wenbin was looking for suitable materials for the newly designed mecha and manually modeling it.
Xia Jing continued working on his own programming. Because he was improving upon the successful Pangu intelligent system, his workload was not as heavy as the other three.
In order not to repeat the naming tragedy of 818, he rarely took time off from programming, but instead searched through a collection of ancient poems to find a suitable name for his goddess.
The news that the mecha would be named at the next meeting spread throughout the 623 group. Everyone thought of 818 and began to read like Xia Jing.
After Jin Sichen reported the information to the Special Affairs Office, he also began to flip through the book.
Lin Fan is from the Special Affairs Office, so how could the naming rights for the mecha be given to 800? Is this a joke?
The director specially commissioned Jin Sichen from Shuangshang Online to grab the naming rights.
This made Jin Sichen feel more anxious than ever before.
Naming is a very subjective thing. Unless it is a case like 818 where everyone complains about it, it is generally difficult to say which one is good and which one is bad.
Despite this, he could not give up easily and tried hard to look through various books and materials.
"Why...are you reading this kind of book lately?" Lin Fan asked in confusion, as he had seen Jin Sichen carrying the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" around more than once.
Jin Sichen is not a book lover, and the books he usually has in his hands are related to psychology.
"Classic of Mountains and Seas"? If I remember correctly, that's a book of ancient mythology, right?
"Lin Fan, you don't know," Jin Sichen was about to reply when Li Chunhua plopped down and interrupted, "They said they'll have to come up with a name for your mecha at the next meeting. To prevent another 818, I'm even working hard to find a good name."
Oh, Lin Fan understood.
She thought it was a good idea to name the mecha. So, did Jin Sichen want to find a name from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"?
She thought, the Classic of Mountains and Seas seems to be full of monsters...
"Do you have any ideas?" Jin Sichen asked when he saw her thinking, "If you have any wishes, they will definitely be based on your own wishes."
That's right. Lin Fan came up with the name himself, so no one can deny it. After all, he just named himself.
As long as it's not particularly strange, it will definitely be more acceptable than names suggested by others.
At least there is no need to go through the dispute between the Special Affairs Office and 800.
To his disappointment, Lin Fan had no desire to use his brain. Seeing trouble coming her way, she dodged as quickly as possible: "You guys are busy, you guys are busy, I'm going to do some exercises."
Song Ren smiled, stood up from his chair and walked to the cushioned area, cooperating with Lin Fan's escape.
Lin Fan started his training for the day.
Everyone said her physique was the key factor affecting her transformation, and she had no other choice but to work hard to improve it.
Although the joint pain hadn't completely subsided, she could now complete a full half-hour calisthenics routine. Her movements looked quite competent. And afterward, she no longer collapsed to the floor, just sweating profusely, feeling weak, and breathing rapidly.
The next time she transforms, her physique must be stronger, so that we can verify whether everyone's speculation is correct.
That's all she can do.
As the intensity of the exercise increased, the energy consumption naturally increased. Lin Fan had visibly lost weight.
She herself was not aware of it, but she kept feeling her pants were sliding down, so she had to tighten the waistband from time to time.
Song Ren found out and took her to the infirmary to weigh her.
The weigh-in shocked everyone. It was only 140 pounds, a full 12 pounds less than last week.
Although I've increased my exercise, it's not reasonable to lose so much weight in a week. After all, calisthenics and walking a few kilometers aren't that intense.
The only possibility is an upgraded mecha.
"Will it still absorb her own energy after the transformation?" Zhang Zhaojie was shocked.
"If you think of the mecha as a carrying system, the transformation is equivalent to hibernation, and it will also take up a lot of resources in the background. As long as the power is not cut off, this process will continue." Xia Jing gave everyone an analogy from his perspective.
Lin Fan thinks this method of losing weight is great, as he can lose weight without having to exercise.
But apparently no one thought so, and everyone looked at her with an expression as if she was about to be sucked dry.
Wu Yi quickly rearranged the meals according to Lin Fan's latest consumption to ensure that his intake kept up.
Before, because she had a small appetite, low consumption, and wanted to lose fat, her food intake was not big.
But after this incident, not only did her food intake increase significantly, but she also added afternoon tea and midnight snacks. Was this because they were worried that she wouldn't be able to gain weight?
However, Lin Fan's worries did not come true.
Although her appetite increased, her exercise increased, and Song Ren also got her new clothes in a smaller size, her weight was still decreasing day by day.
This... seems to be bad.
How can we stop consumption or reach a balance?
Except for Lin Fan, everyone felt panicked.
"Oh, Lin Fan is really thin now." When Xie Bisheng saw Lin Fan with his own eyes, he realized how terrible it was when Guangli said she was very thin.
Simple numbers are far less impactful than what we see with the naked eye.
When he first entered 800, Lin Fan weighed 170 pounds. Because of swelling, his whole body was bloated, so it was not surprising to say that he weighed 200 pounds.
And now, less than two months later, when Xie Bisheng saw Lin Fan again, she weighed only 130 pounds.
She looked pretty good, in good spirits, and her eyes had grown a little bigger. She even smiled faintly when she saw Xie Bisheng.
Xie Bisheng kept smiling, but he felt something was wrong.
If every transformation meant absorbing a large amount of energy from Lin Fan's body, and it didn't stop even after the transformation was over, then this...
"Deputy Chief Xie, why are you here?" Song Ren asked, interrupting Xie Bisheng's thoughts.
Xie Bisheng was a very busy man, and it was not often that you saw him. But when you saw him, it was usually something important.
"Oh, aren't you talking about naming the mecha? I'll join in the fun too." Xie Bisheng replied with a smile.
When Jin Sichen heard these words as soon as he came out of the studio, his heart skipped a beat.
Why is Xie Bisheng here? !
Didn't he only show up on the first day? I haven't seen him in 623 for so long, I thought...
He could still fight against those guys from 623. When Xie Bisheng arrived, he just unleashed a powerful attack!
Not to mention that he is over 70 years old and is also a highly respected scientist in the academic circle. Even the director has to bow before him. How can we fight for this?
Jin Sichen looked sullen as he watched everyone enter the meeting room one after another, and followed them reluctantly. He muttered to himself that the 800 people had no moral principles.
Tsk! This time... I'm afraid I won't be able to win!
What if you can't win? Doctor Jin is so pitiful. Come on, vote, come on, support Doctor Jin. Don't you all like Doctor Jin?
