Armor: I can only summon the general

Inside the ERP research room, the video conference was still going on, but no one spoke.

Meizhen's direct refusal left Professor Ji unable to react for a moment, and he forgot how to respond.

Dr. Garu also covered his face in embarrassment. If he had known earlier, he should have spoken faster. Perhaps such words would have been more tactful coming from his mouth, and Professor Ji would be more receptive to them.

Director Liu, who is in charge of security work, had not spoken a word, but he became interested at this time. He leaned forward slightly from his seat and stared at the screen.

After Meizhen bluntly rejected Professor Ji, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. No matter what Professor Ji's purpose was, she could not let this group of people make decisions for him without going through Huahe.

Especially now, Hua He and his men had just finished a battle, and all the Armor Summoners except Hua He were injured to varying degrees. They were extremely vulnerable at this moment.

Therefore, whether the enemy comes from outside or inside, Meizhen must do her best to protect them.

"Professor Ji, you spend all day in the comfortable laboratory and may be accustomed to ordering others around, but this doesn't mean that everyone has to obey you.

If you want to see Hua He, you should hand him a business card and ask if he is willing to see you, instead of giving orders to the air and then waiting for others to bring him to see you.

Meizhen said this coldly, and when she finished speaking, Dr. Garu became even more embarrassed and hurried to mediate.

"Professor, Meizhen's point is... uh... the situation is rather special right now. We shouldn't rush into anything, but instead take a long-term view and find a suitable time to discuss this matter properly."

Dr. Garu has devoted all his intelligence and talent to scientific research, so his words seem pale and have no soothing effect.

Professor Ji, the person involved, had an expression that changed several times, with various emotions appearing on his face in turn, like a kaleidoscope.

In the end, Professor Ji suppressed his emotions and took a long breath to calm himself down.

"Huh~ Okay, I certainly didn't think this through. Please understand me, I spent most of my first half of my life on the Ultimate Armor, so that's why I'm so excited."

Meizhen did not intend to accept Professor Ji's subtle apology and kept her distance from him because she had a hunch that Professor Ji would cause even greater trouble in the future.

Meizhen stared at the screen with a cold expression and said in a cold voice: "We have actually cracked the secret of the ultimate armor a long time ago, but we haven't had time to test it yet. However, I believe they will succeed.

In the near future, we will face an even greater crisis, and only the ultimate armor can help us through it. Before that, we will successfully crack this secret and summon the ultimate armor to protect our home.

Professor Ji, you don't need to worry about these things. Also, I have one last piece of advice for you. If your research is limited to paper and there is no progress, please do not interfere with us, let alone hold us back.

Although he didn't know whether Meizhen's words were true or false, the firm tone made Professor Ji believe it a little bit, especially after learning that they had cracked the secret of the ultimate armor, he couldn't help but blush and felt ashamed in his heart.

Then Meizhen turned her attention to her brother, Dr. Garu, and said, "I will give you a detailed report on the course of this disturbance. It's late today, and I need to rest."

"Okay, Meizhen, there's no rush for the report. You can rest first."

Dr. Garu still cared about his sister and agreed to Meizhen without hesitation.

At the base, as soon as Dr. Garu finished speaking, Meizhen hung up the video conference without even a reply, leaning back in her chair and looking at the roof of the base.

For some reason, a sense of crisis arose from the bottom of her heart, making her unable to calm down for a long time.

…………

After Meizhen left the video conference, the remaining three people remained silent at the same time, and no one was the first to leave the meeting.

After a moment's silence, Dr. Garu's patience was about to run out. He could only try his best to keep a smile on his face. In order to prevent himself from losing control and losing his composure, he picked up the document next to him and started reading.

'What is this document? I don't remember it.'

Dr. Garu opened the unfamiliar folder in front of him and saw the cover printed on A4 paper.

"The progress of the development of the micro-intelligent handheld communication terminal was originally a report related to smartphones. I had previously instructed my assistant to do this, but I've been a bit busy these days and forgot about it."

Dr. Garu recalled in his mind that their own research institute had made several prototypes of derivative products, but their performance was average and the cost was high, so they were put into the warehouse after testing.

Thinking of this, Dr. Garu suddenly became interested and immediately opened the document to read.

"Huh? Several major research institutes have already developed new microprocessors. Let's see..."

Dr. Garu kept flipping through the documents until he finished the last page and then straightened up.

"CPU, antenna, motherboard, camera, and new communication protocol, everyone is making rapid progress. It seems that it won't be long before a mature smartphone can be launched on the market. This can be considered as living up to Hua He's intentions."

Thinking of Hua He, Dr. Garu raised his head and looked at the screen in front of him. The video conference was still going on, but everyone's attention was not on the meeting itself.

Professor Ji lowered his head and looked at his arm. It was impossible to see the expression on his face and what he was thinking.

Director Liu of the security department had an expression of watching a show on his face. When he saw Dr. Garu raise his head, he made a silence gesture to the camera.

Dr. Garu smiled helplessly, not knowing what to do. He couldn't just waste his time here.

Just as Dr. Garu was struggling over whether to disband the meeting, Professor Ji slowly raised his head.

"Garu, do you think it would be better to give the armor to a superior for direct management?"

"what?"

Before Dr. Garu could say anything, Director Liu got angry first. He stood up with a shout and put his face in front of the camera.

"Old Ji, you're a scholar with a background in scientific research. What the hell do you know about politics? Do you think you're the only smart one and your superiors and leaders are all fools?

Let me tell you, Old Ji, my superiors sent me here with another mission besides security, which is to keep an eye on you and prevent you from tampering with the light and shadow stone, especially during this special period.

"Old Ji, as a researcher, you should just focus on your own work. Other things are not your concern, so stop worrying about them."

While giving instructions to Professor Ji, Director Liu pulled out a chair and sat in front of the camera, staring closely at Professor Ji on the screen.

"Ugh!"

After hearing what Director Liu said, Professor Ji sighed heavily, "I understand. Since the higher-ups have made arrangements, I'm relieved."

"But it's impossible for me to give up the pursuit of the first half of my life. Even if I'm not allowed to participate, I'll be satisfied just watching from afar."

Professor Ji changed the subject, his face full of determination: "Galu, tell me more about Hua He, in detail, I want to get to know him better."

Seeing Professor Ji like this, Dr. Garu became more helpless. After shaking his head, he began to think about how to answer the professor's questions.
