Chapter 111 - Testing To The Limit!
If McLean was asked, ‘What’s the difference between watching a live show and watching a video?’
He would say that there were no difference
After all, it’s all about watching.
Besides, Raymond’s live broadcast never contained the narration of a lecturer to explain things through.
What difference would it make?
But now, McLean had changed his mind.
The atmosphere of watching a live broadcast in a group was different, not to mention that it brought him new insights from time to time.
Like him, Shepherd also liked watching the live broadcast.
Although the bullet messages were sent out by clowns, the atmosphere was actually very relaxed.
Moreover, the bullet messages sometimes indirectly inspired.
Those uncivilized netizens did not know much.
But it was precisely because they did not know much that they had no scruples.
They had big ideas.
Earlier, the Director of NASA had said to let the researchers do their own research.
Later, when there was nothing else to do, they would come back to watch the video.
But after being stopped by McLean once, he did not mention it again.
Today, Raymond’s gossip was all about the Gundam.
Although many scientists did not understand the hype about it, looking at most of the bullet comments, they got the gist of it.
This was something from an anime.
It was a large military device.
In a fantasy world, this thing could save the world.
A skilled driver could even defeat an army with a Gundam!
In the fictional setting, this thing turned tides.
But in reality, they did not think that this thing would have much use.
As for why Raymond wanted to build this thing, they could not understand it at all.
However…
They could just watch it!
Anyway, Raymond needed to build it. What if it led to new inspirations?
A Gundam was vastly different from one of his mass-produced robots.
This thing was clearly a lot more difficult.
However, it wasn’t that big a problem for Raymond.
Not long after, the Gundam’s main body was almost constructed.
However, no one could tell what its power source would be.
Something like a Gundam had to move, no matter what!
What about the power unit figure you came up with?
Wouldn’t he need to move his hands and feet?
“Shepherd, can you see where Gundam’s power reserve is?”
McLean could completely see the function of each component in the blueprint that Raymond had drawn.
Connectors, moving parts, joints…
It was akin to drawing the skeleton of a person.
Then he handed these things over to Tuesday.
However, you only have bones and no muscles. How can this thing move?
Would it move via telekinesis?
That was not going to happen!
Moreover, McLean did not think that Raymond would have the time to make a Gundam skeleton.
“I don’t understand… these skeletons have no tendons whatsoever…”
Shepherd also shook his head. His bitter smile was full of question marks.
As if subconsciously, he looked at 77.
At that moment, 77 was completely immersed in her book.
It seemed like she didn’t intend to give him an answer.
McLean and Shepherd did not know what to feel about it.
Although they weren’t specialized in researching robots, they should be able to understand basic things, no matter what!
Regardless, none of them know what was going on.
“Should we call a few specialists over?” McLean suggested.
“No need. Regardless, Raymond will build this thing today. There’s no fear of not getting an answer.”
“That’s true…”
They didn’t want to do unnecessary things.
At that moment, there was an argument on the bullet screen.
They said that Raymond’s drawing was unreasonable…
Gundams weren’t designed this way…
That it didn’t conform to human engineering…
Anyway, it was full of tricks.
However, Raymond saw none of this, so he continued with his work.
“Tuesday, I’ve provided the alloy formula for the skeleton. Take all the materials you need from those containers. If you’re running out of things in the future, we’ll go to the mainland to look for it…”
“The laser cutter can be used, but the rigidity must meet the requirements.”
“If you run into any walls, you must ask me. Don’t take matters into your own hands!”
Raymond’s words sounded like he was teaching a child.
Tuesday answered him sincerely too.
There was no change in her emotions at all.
“Oh, right. Have you finished the fiber that I asked you to make?”
“It’s done, sir.”
“Send it over!”
“Okay!”
The people watching the live broadcast were baffled by the last few sentences.
It was as if there was a disconnect somewhere.
In the international live broadcast room.
“??? What is Thunder God saying?”
“I’ve never left the live broadcast room once. How could I have missed it?”
“What did Thunder God say to Tuesday? Someone tell us!”
“He’s so curious!”
“F*cking director, did your cameras blackout for a second there?”
“Oh ho, I missed another lesson!”
Not to mention the audience.
Even McLean and the others were dumbfounded.
They had no recollection of any events leading to this.
Moreover, they had not left for a minute since Raymond had eaten.
God knows when Raymond had asked Tuesday to make something.
“Eh, is it because Thunder God played with his phone for a while?”
“Uh… with Thunder God’s hand speed, it might be hard for us to find out…”
“It would be great if there were drones broadcasting live…”
There were many curious people.
Even the program team was curious about what Raymond had asked Tuesday to make.
But they soon got the answer.
Not long after, a few robots carried a big box into the lab.
Without Raymond saying a word, they opened the box.
Inside were black wires.
Raymond held it in his hand.
This wire-like thing was about the thickness of a cigarette.
However, they couldn’t figure out what plans Raymond had for them.
“Ten tons of weight, bring one in.”
Raymond said something inexplicable.
In a short while, a few robots pushed a car in.
It was a Rolls-Royce.
“Sir, we have already made the measurements. The mass of this car now is a total of ten tons. The margin of error is 10 grams.”
“Okay!”
Everyone else was confused.
At that moment, other than question marks, there were still question marks on the bullet screen.
They could not understand what Raymond meant in the least.
Meanwhile, Shepherd was now interested. He stared at the black steel wire in Raymond’s hand.
He seemed to have realized something.
“Shepherd…”
“McLean, do you think that is a muscle fiber?”
“Muscle fiber?”
McLean immediately understood Raymond’s intentions.
“Ah. We were on the completely wrong track!”
“It looks like he’s planning to test the limits of this muscle fiber!”
Shepherd put the puzzle pieces together in his mind.
A ridiculously dense bone structure, a design without any tendons, a ten-ton weight..
It all made sense.
