Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

The look in Ma Pingyuan's eyes became more and more serious.

He frowned and found that there was something strange about a key instrument on the laboratory table.

Lantian discovered this situation even earlier than Ma Pingyuan.

She guided Professor Ma to find the problem without making any noise.

This instrument is the core equipment for high-precision mechanical testing. Professor Ma usually maintains it with extreme care, but now it seems like someone has tampered with it.

Lantian noticed something strange about Ma Pingyuan, pretended to see Ma Pingyuan's expression, and hurried over.

She observed the instrument carefully, her eyes revealing concentration and vigilance.

"Professor Ma, this instrument seems to have been tampered with."

Lantian said softly, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Ma Pingyuan's expression became increasingly serious. He carefully checked the various components of the instrument and discovered that some key circuit connections had been altered and parts also showed signs of disassembly.

No one except himself and a few students involved in the experiments has a key to his lab. To avoid other interference, during this extraordinary period, all maintenance and cleaning work in the lab is done by their own team.

"Who did this? This is a key instrument for the entire experimental project!"

Ma Pingyuan's voice was filled with anger and anxiety. This experiment was crucial to his research project. He had been pushing this research forward despite great pressure. If the experiment was successful, the accuracy of domestically produced machine tools would be greatly improved.

Now, the entire university is in chaos, with everyone feeling nervous and seeing enemies everywhere.

His former leader, with a sincere heart, shouldered all the responsibility and supported him in carrying out his experiment. A failure would not only delay the research progress but could even lead to the project's demise. Many people were raising objections, all of them eagerly watching the project's progress. A failure would undoubtedly implicate the former leader, and his entire team might even be disbanded.

He really has too much pressure in his heart.

During this time, he clearly felt the Revolutionary Committee's attention on his research project, and they intensified their oversight of him in all aspects. He carefully maintained the laboratory, the last remaining pocket of peace, but he never expected that someone would infiltrate without his knowledge.

He carefully checked the instrument every day and had never found any problems. This situation was clearly an act of deliberate sabotage.

What was even worse was that the destruction was so professional that he couldn't even detect any traces of it. His brow furrowed even more.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the laboratory now, only him and Zhou Tian.

This matter can only be suppressed, and he must repair the instrument as soon as possible.

He looked at Lantian, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and his words to Lantian were ambiguous.

Lantian lowered his head to examine it carefully and whispered:

"Professor Ma, I think this matter must be suppressed. Let me see if this instrument can be repaired."

Lantian squatted down and carefully observed the internal structure of the instrument. With his excellent mechanical talent, he quickly sorted out the working principle of the instrument and possible problems in his mind.

Her fingers gently touched the parts of the instrument, feeling their texture and connections, trying to find clues to repair them.

Ma Pingyuan watched Lantian from the side, feeling anxious. He was old, and his manual skills couldn't compare to those of the younger generation. Now, he was incredibly glad to have accepted Lantian. Lantian had the highest mechanics talent of all his disciples, and he was filled with anticipation for this young girl's abilities.

Lantian didn't say anything. She squatted down and carefully observed the internal structure of the instrument. Relying on the mechanical knowledge she had accumulated in the previous world, she quickly sorted out the working principles of the instrument and possible problems in her mind.

This instrument mainly uses the principle of laser interference to measure the displacement accuracy of the moving parts of the machine tool, thereby determining the precision of the machine tool.

Now it has broken down, most likely due to a problem with the optical system or the signal processing part.

"Daredevil, quickly scan this instrument for me and see which parts are faulty."

In his consciousness, Lantian was eagerly calling out to the arrogant Ergou.

"Hey, host, you're cheating! Not only are you using the knowledge you learned in your previous life, but you're also using this system to help you. You're really good!"

The arrogant voice of Ergou sounded in Lantian's mind.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. Once this is resolved, I'll make you a new flavor of peach cake."

Lantian responded unhappily.

"Alright, for the sake of Taosu, I'll reluctantly help you."

Ergou muttered to himself, and then began to scan the instrument in all directions.

Time passed minute by minute, and beads of sweat appeared on Lantian's forehead.

While waiting for the scan results from Deose Ergou, she checked the appearance of the instrument herself, gently turning the adjustment knob on the instrument, feeling the resistance and feedback when the knob was turned.

"Host, the scan results are in! We've discovered a slight shift in the reflector in the optical system, preventing the laser beam from accurately focusing on the detector. Furthermore, a key chip in the signal processing module has been replaced with a low-performance knockoff."

The voice of Ergou, who was showing off, sounded again.

"It's exactly what I thought."

Lantian thought to herself, she raised her head, her eyes gleaming with confidence, and said to Ma Pingyuan:

"Professor Ma, I think I know what the problem is. The displacement of the reflector in the optical system and the replacement of the chip in the signal processing module have affected the instrument's detection of the machine tool's precision parameters."

Ma Pingyuan looked at Lantian in surprise, his eyes full of admiration:

"Girl Zhou, you're amazing. You found the key to the problem so quickly."

“This is all thanks to some little tricks.”

Lantian said this with a smile, but in his heart he was secretly thinking about the contribution of Ergou.

It's rare for the cocky Ergou to praise his host. He floats on the surface of Lantian's sea of ​​consciousness, looking extremely cocky.

After Lantian finished speaking, he quickly picked up the tools and began to repair the instrument.

She first carefully adjusted the position of the mirror and used professional optical calibration tools to ensure that the laser beam could accurately propagate along the predetermined optical path and focus on the detector.

During the adjustment process, her technique was skillful and precise, she seemed to be integrated with the instrument, and every movement was full of power and skill.

Next, she began to replace the chip of the signal processing module.

This is a delicate job that requires extremely high concentration and operational skills.

Lantian held his breath, used a micro soldering tool to remove the old chip, and then soldered the new chip in.

Her eyes were fixed on the chip, her hands were operating the tools steadily, and beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the laboratory table.

Ma Pingyuan watched nervously from the side, handing over tools from time to time, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.

After several hours of hard work, Lantian finally completed the restoration work.

She gently pressed the start button of the instrument, which made a slight humming sound and then began to operate normally.

"Success!"

Ma Pingyuan shouted excitedly, his face filled with a smile of joy and relief.

"Zhou girl, you are such a genius! If it weren't for you, this experiment would have been in jeopardy."

Ma Pingyuan gave Lantian a thumbs up and admired her abilities even more in his heart.

However, Lantian did not feel at ease at all. She looked down at the instrument with an inexplicable expression on her face, lost in thought.

She knew that the tampering with the instrument was no accident and there must be an ulterior motive behind it.

"Daredevil, during this period, you have to monitor Professor Ma's lab 24 hours a day, and Fu Ming's lab as well. Also, can you monitor Cang Yong's behavior at the same time?"

Lantian knew that these requirements were a bit too much, and wondered if Deuse Ergou could complete them?

"What? You're going to tire this system to death!"

The shrill voice of Ergou exploded in Lantian's sea of ​​consciousness in an instant.

"We're monitoring three locations 24 hours a day, taking turns. Do you think I have superpowers?"

Lantian curled his lips and retorted:

"You're a super system, this shouldn't be a piece of cake for you. Stop complaining to me."

"A piece of cake?"

The arrogant Ergou was so angry that his voice changed.

"Your request is harder than climbing to the sky! No, I have to get some benefits, otherwise I won't do it. In addition to the new flavor of peach cake, you also have to make me Beijing Eight Pieces, Sugar-coated Fire-baked Buns, and Zilaihong. If you don't have any of them, don't even think about asking me to work!"

When Lantian heard this, his eyes widened and he almost jumped up:

"How dare you ask for so much! Peking Eight Pieces, Sugar-coated Buns, and Zi Lai Hong (Chinese Sweet and Sour Rice Noodles). Do you think I run a dim sum shop? Where can I get so much at once?"

"Then I don't care."

The arrogant Ergou started to act like a spoiled brat.

"I'm using the system's lifespan to help you, and you're not willing to give up this little treat. Do you think you're embarrassed? Think about it, if we successfully uncover the traitor, you'll be a great hero. What's this little sacrifice worth?"

Lantian gritted his teeth, feeling extremely conflicted. These snacks were not easy to make, but in order to find out who was behind the scenes, he had no choice but to compromise:

"Okay, I'll find a way. But you have to do your job well. If you make even the slightest mistake, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

"Don't worry, host!"

Ergou was so excited that his voice rose several degrees.

"With these delicacies as motivation, I will definitely go all out. I promise to keep a close eye on Professor Ma's lab, Fu Ming's lab, and that Cang Yong guy. If anything happens, I will report to you immediately!"

Just like that, under the "temptation" of a bunch of Beijing snacks, Desser Ergou reluctantly but full of anticipation started his all-round monitoring mission.

Lantian also took a deep breath and prepared to have a thrilling battle with the enemy in the real world.

As night falls, the whole city is shrouded in darkness, with only a few lights twinkling in the night sky.

Lantian, dressed in a black nightgown, sneaked into Cangyong's residence like an agile cat.

Lantian climbed over the courtyard wall, carefully avoiding the patrolling guards, and came to the window of Cang Yong's study. She squatted down, held her breath, and put her ear to the window.

Inside the house, Cang Yong and his wife Kuraki Yoshiko were talking in low voices.

"That Ma Pingyuan, his recent research results are becoming increasingly threatening. We must find a way to completely destroy his experiments."

Cang Yong's voice was low and cold.

"I've arranged for someone to tamper with his lab. As long as his experiment fails, we can frame him for colluding with foreign forces. He'll then be left with no defense."

Kuraki Yoshiko lowered her voice, but it still sounded sharp and piercing, chilling.

Lantian was shocked and bit her lips tightly.

She didn't expect that her guess would come true. There really was a traitor in Ma Pingyuan's laboratory.

And this traitor was sent by Soyong and Kuraki Yoshiko.

In the previous world, when she met Ma Pingyuan, he had already been demoted. Therefore, she had no idea how Ma Pingyuan was framed.

It seems that they did this by sabotaging the experiment.

She suppressed her inner anger and continued to listen to their conspiracy.
