Chapter 85: This is too ridiculous!
"Your efficiency is so fast?"
"Don't say that I'm always dawdling." Jiǔ Mìng flipped through the last spatial storage card in his hand, a space-type ability was indeed the most convenient.
"Ah, while you were away, a little girl came once and left those things." C.C. pointed to the pile of things on the ground not far away.
"Is it done already?"
Jiǔ Mìng put away the sealed card in his hand and walked over to take a look. It wasn't anything else, but rather the outer casing that Jiǔ Mìng had asked Yòu Xī to make for him. The combination of parts was something he had already discussed with Yòu Xī, and according to normal procedures, the gun body casing she made would be the most suitable one.
It's just a bit heavy...
Even if it's just the outer shell, a conservative estimate of its weight is around 50 kilograms. Although it's very heavy, its sturdiness is quite high. There's also another advantage to its heaviness... ordinary people can't lift it... It's better not to let Haruhi know about this.
"En... alright." Jiǔ Mìng smiled lightly and put away the exoskeleton, the remaining insufficient things need to be prepared quickly. Hǎi Yǐ had already said that the normal method would be difficult to succeed, so Jiǔ Mìng planned to take a black technology route this time.
Scientific Explanation!?
No!
This weekend, with a cheerful mood, the members of SOS Brigade gathered again... well, only Haruhi was truly in high spirits.
"Don't we need to wear thick protective suits?" Ah Xū gazed at the pile of parts and made a rather unusual suggestion.
"You've watched too many movies, haven't you? What's the point of wearing that stuff?" Jiǔ Mìng gave him a withering look. Making this thing didn't require any sterile procedures, let alone radiation... there was no need to worry about that at all. "Come on, just assemble it according to the diagram and we'll be fine."
Jiuming pulled out a few drawings, pointing to that pile of parts and said, "These parts are enough to make Jiuming collapse and ask questions many times," "Right, don't get it wrong."
"Building with blocks? This trivial matter can't be difficult for the team leader." Mochi rubbed her palms together, and Haruhi Suzumiya indicated that she was ready to start a massacre... Seeing the hundreds of piled up large and small parts, she narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly under pressure. She turned her head towards the others, "Hey! What are you guys doing just standing there?"
He shrugged and walked away, the nine lives had passed. Although there were many parts, they were all scattered around. Once combined into components, there weren't that many. The difficulty lay in the way of combination...
Even if the gun body made by Touka is very large, with a length of over 1.7 meters, and adding those parts, the total weight has approached 100 kilograms. However, wanting to stuff all the components in is not easy either, she didn't leave any extra space for the internal components of the gun body at all.
As long as it can be combined well, that is the most perfect combination. Even strong vibrations will not cause internal parts to loosen or shift. Similarly, if those built-in components are slightly mismatched, they cannot be stuffed in.
But I feel that this is somewhat unnecessary, it's already destined to become a black technology existence through Haruhi Suzumiya's hands, no matter what, it won't go wrong just because of a mere 'shake'.
Jiǔ Mìng has a bit of perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, even if he feels it's not necessary, but when doing something, no matter what, he will do it to the best of his ability. If there is any flaw, his heart will feel like a cat scratching, making him feel extremely uncomfortable!
"This is too much, Senpai Kokoro, please back off a bit." Letting Kokoro Natsume, who couldn't help with the work, retreat to a distance, Aho gazed at the pile of parts and felt that the grand vision of creating a high-tech weapon had crumbled.
It's basically just building with blocks, although they are some high-end 'blocks'.
"Is there no guide?"
Alright, if it's that kind of beam gun, there should be an energy conduit line for transmitting energy, right? Why can't I see it?
"Do you think those copper wires and the like can withstand that kind of energy output?" Glancing at A Xū, Jiǔ Mìng combined two components in his hand with a click and set them aside. He picked up the triangular prism he had placed separately, opened a small opening on one of its three faces, looked inside at the empty slot, and nodded.
The opening at this position is very suitable for 'loading bullets', at least much more suitable than the triangular surface of the three-pronged column, if the opening were there, it would be even more troublesome to install other components.
Kyon's classmate Haruhi Suzumiya, with a look of excitement on her face, was holding various parts and comparing them to the diagrams in her hand, not worrying at all about the possibility that even if they were assembled correctly, it would still be a defective product...
At this, Jiǔ Mìng could only let out a faint sigh. The failure wasn't his fault either; the parts he had purchased were all correct, but because the data recorded in that book was incomplete, even if it succeeded, its power wouldn't be too great, and it probably wouldn't be as good as a real gun.
With Yui's assistance, the possibility of failure has been reduced to its lowest, but as for power... Haruhi, it's up to you next!
"Wow, it's really fulfilling!" From noon till afternoon, Haruhi Suzumiya looked at the few components that had just been assembled and let out a long sigh, smiling as she said this, not feeling bored at all despite having only this much to show for an entire afternoon of work.
During the process, the parts were assembled just because of manual errors that did not meet the standards and had to be re-disassembled. These parts were slightly misplaced and had to be dismantled halfway through. Since these components are all non-wired linked combinations, any mistake in one place requires cutting off and redoing.
"I'm going blind." Ah Xū said weakly, rubbing his eyes.
"But it's quite interesting, isn't it? Everyone is enjoying themselves." Kosen Itsuki smiled and even if Akyuu complained, during the production process they were all highly concentrated.
"Now everyone go home and eat, we'll continue tomorrow." After saying that, Haruhi Suzumiya directly grabbed Mikuru Asahina's hand and ran to a room.
Helplessly looking around, this is a bathroom!
"What is that woman still doing here?"
"...Jiumu's mouth twitched, he remembered that there was a book on the bookshelf, "How to Make Multiple Girlfriends Live in Harmony", might as well go take a look?"
"This thing is useful!?"
With a swoosh, the book in Jiǔ Mìng's hand was directly thrown out from beside Bō Làng. Several girlfriends getting along well? Jiǔ Mìng thought there would be some profound experience written inside, but the content is very simple!
In short, it's just a few things: having money! Having power! ... That's enough!
Then what?
She glanced at Nine Lives, who was holding Cheese Kun, and C.C., who was eating like a mole. Does she care about money? Maybe when buying pizza, but as for power, I guess she's the same as Nine Lives, never having put it in her heart.
As for spring days, if nothing unexpected happens, being the leader of SOS Brigade will be her peak of power...
The next day, Haruhi looked at the assembled half gun body with satisfaction and nodded, although she was a bit hard to hold, but it didn't affect her mood!
On the third day, they started school, and the plan was postponed until this weekend.
"It's been a while since she last came, I suppose." Jiǔ Mìng muttered to herself, flipping through a black leather notebook.
"Yagami Iroha?" C.C asked lazily as she lay down.
"......" Jiǔ Mìng shì yī gàng, suí hòu pēng de yī shēng hé le shǒu lǐ de bǐ jì běn, "Nǐ yòu tōu kàn wǒ de rì jì……?"
Translation:
"......" Jiǔ Mìng was taken aback at first, then slammed shut the notebook in her hand, "You're peeking at my diary again……?"
"Oh? This is a diary? Next time don't leave things lying around after you're done writing." C.C. ignored Nine Lives' expression, "A woman's curiosity, you know."
Jiǔ Mìng pressed his forehead, looking at the lazy girl who looked like an old cat. No matter when, you can be so calm... At this time, he rushed over and snatched the pizza from her hand...
"Boring." C.C. shook her empty palm, gave a sidelong glance at Nine who had suddenly snatched the pizza, and flipped him off with a backhand slap.
“……”
Ah! Communicating with old monsters is always so depressing!
He swallowed the pizza that had been bitten into in one gulp, sat back down leisurely, picked up his pen and began writing on his black notebook. X month X day, today's mood: extremely bad!
I really want to take someone shopping... Nine lives quietly took a look at C.C, who seemed to be asleep, shook his head and stood up by himself. He turned around and left the mysterious store. The city of Lingquan was much quieter than it had been two weeks ago. Those spore infection incidents also saw a second wave of infections.
Although targeted therapeutic methods have made progress, they are not yet widely available. Hospitals are overcrowded and there is no room left, so we can only make do with makeshift shelters for now.
"Good grief!"
Jiǔ Mìng raised his head and took a glance, suddenly seeing a long trail of smoke falling from the sky. After a brief moment of thought, Jiǔ Mìng charged forward fiercely, trampling over several buildings to reach the top of a short tower, quickly approaching the source of the smoke.
Woman?
After catching the opponent, Jiǔ Mìng discovered that the hand feeling was not right, but at this time there was no time to care about so much. In the sky, several red-eyed strange birds rushed down with sharp cries. Those strange birds were all over 50 cm in size, and their beaks and sharp claws were shining with a black glow. Being scratched by them would definitely feel great...
Looking at those ferocious birds swooping down, Jiǔ Mìng stretched out his hand in the air and pulled out a sealed card. After crushing it, a purple crystal ball appeared in his palm, and the thunderous roar drowned out the birds' shrieks.
"Hey! Don't treat the one who saved your life like this, do you?!" Looking at the two alloy knives pointed at him, Jiǔ Mìng forced a smile and said, "Returning kindness with ingratitude? You have the guts to take off my helmet? I'll sue you directly!"
"Where did you touch?!!"
A furious female voice came from under the helmet, wasn't it just a mistake in receiving the wrong place?
“…That was a mistake.” Jiǔ Mìng shrugged and slightly pointed to her back, the alloy knife in her hand made two swift cuts, and one of the attacking strange birds immediately had its two wings cut off, followed by its head flying out.
"If you can, help out too." The woman with the helmet glanced at Jiumeng and jumped off from the top of a standing building, her flight device was damaged and needed to be replaced at a designated location.
"Has it really come to this?"
