Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2040 Self-Destruction in the Laboratory

After listening quietly to Yaoyi Mingfan's story, Gu Chen first congratulated him, and then said meaningfully, "Dr. Yaoyi, if I remember correctly, you just said that the Max propulsion system you spent twenty years developing made a breakthrough last night?"

Yao Meifan nodded and added, "That's right, to be precise, around 8:30 p.m.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and said softly, "As far as I know, those robots also started appearing last night."

Upon hearing this, Yao Meifan frowned slightly.

He was a smart man, and naturally he could understand the meaning behind Gu Chen's words.

He immediately spoke up, "Director Gu, do you mean those robots were attracted by the Max Propulsion System?"

Gu Chen said, "There is such a connection, but we still need to..."

However, before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Yawei Mingfan said excitedly, "What are you talking about? That took me twenty years to research!"

Gu Chen could understand Yao Meifan's feelings to some extent.

He originally thought that the Max power system was an innovative invention that he had painstakingly developed over twenty years, but he found out that it was actually a path that had been taken long ago. This made Yao Meifan's twenty years of painstaking effort seem like a joke.

Seeing this, Sawai Soichiro quickly tried to smooth things over: "Dr. Yao, don't get agitated. The advisor still has something to say."

Upon hearing Sawai Soichiro's words, Yao Meifan could only take a few deep breaths to calm his emotions.

Then, Gu Chen continued, "Dr. Yawei, I can understand your feelings, but this matter itself does not prevent you from being a great scientist, because you led your team to complete a journey that other planets might have taken hundreds or thousands of years to complete."

"Perhaps it is because civilizations on other planets know how much technological assistance the Max propulsion system can bring to a civilization that they send those robots to specifically monitor civilizations on other planets, in order to prevent other civilizations from also developing the Max propulsion system and thus catching up with their civilization."

Gu Chen's explanation made Yawei Mingfan's expression much better.

Looking at this issue from a different perspective, it becomes clear that this is not a mockery of Yamata no Meiban's twenty years of hard work, but rather a high affirmation of his talent.

Seeing that Yai Meifan's expression had softened, Gu Chen continued, "Moreover, whether those robots are actually targeting the Max Power System still needs to be verified."

"Dr. Yao, if possible, could you make a small Max-powered system? It doesn't need to have a large output power, just make sure it's a Max-powered system."

Upon hearing this, Yao Meifan nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, give me some time, and I should be able to finish it this afternoon."

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to Dr. Yawei."

After this incident, Yao Meifan lost interest in continuing to think about Sawai Soichiro's application to test the Max Propulsion System. He turned around and left the director's office to assemble a small Max Propulsion System.

After discussing their upcoming actions, Gu Chen and Sawai Soichiro parted ways.

Sawai Soichiro continued to handle other matters, while Gu Chen returned to the GUTS team's operations command center and relayed what had happened in the director's office to the rest of the GUTS team.

Soon, in the afternoon, Yao Meifan arrived at the GUTS team's operations command center with a small Max power system.

Masami Horii and Yasumi Nozue immediately went to meet them. After a brief exchange, they took the mini Max power system to the laboratory, while Akira Yao stayed in the operations command room with the others to observe the situation in the laboratory through the communication screen.

Then, everyone saw that just as Horii Masami and Nozue Yasumi entered the laboratory, Gobunyo, who only had one head left, woke up without being connected to a power source and reacted very violently.

Seeing this, Horii Masami and Nozue Yasumi even planned to connect the data cable to Gobnew's body to see what Gobnew was saying.

But at that moment, Gu Chen suddenly saw that Goblin's eyes were all lit up, and a distinct, regular flashing appeared from both ends.

Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately shouted, "Horii, Nozomi, get out of the lab right now! That robot's head is about to explode!"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's voice, everyone present was stunned, and Horii Masami and Nozue Yasumi also stopped what they were doing.

Seeing that the two of them still hadn't reacted, Megumi shouted again, "Get out of the lab right now, quick!"

Upon hearing this, Horii Masami and Nozue Yasumi immediately disregarded everything else, grabbed the mini Max power system, and ran out of the laboratory.

Meanwhile, in the operations command center, Gu Chen immediately operated the computer and activated the laboratory's emergency defense system.

Suddenly, hard steel plates fell from the sky, instantly turning the laboratory into a steel cage.

Shortly after, Goblin's countdown to self-destruction ended, and the communications screen in the operations command center suddenly flashed with a blinding white light, followed by a violent explosion.

boom!!!

Everyone in the operations command center felt a slight tremor from the floor.

Looking at the communication screen again, the laboratory's communication signal had been lost.

"Horii, Nozue, are you alright?!"

Munakata Seiichi immediately called out.

Soon, Masami Horii's face appeared on the big screen.

He looked shaken and said, "Commander, we're alright. The lab's defenses held up the impact of the explosion."

As she spoke, Masami Horii pointed the PDI in her hand at the laboratory door, and everyone saw extremely obvious signs of deformation on it.

Given the laboratory's defenses, the sheer magnitude of the damage inflicted must be astonishing.

And this was just an explosion caused by a robot's head.

If all robots were like this...

Upon realizing this, Megumi's face turned pale: "Commander, immediately move all the robots in headquarters to another location, quick!!!"

This immediately reminded the GUTS team members, and Zongfang Chengshi immediately led his team out of the command center.

At the same time, TPC police officers were mobilized to move all the robots that had been placed at headquarters out of the headquarters.

Yao Meifan, who witnessed all of this, is still somewhat dazed and lost in thought.

Goblin's reaction directly confirmed that they were after the Max power system, which was a significant blow to Akira.
