Chapter 2205 The Soldiers Appear
2205
There is a saying that goes like this.
The so-called indifference of women actually depends on the person. No matter how indifferent a woman is, when she meets someone or something she likes, she will take off the disguise of indifference and become a gentle and pleasant little woman.
Because Michaela was a temporary transfer student, she protected herself with indifference in an unfamiliar environment. But now that Xu Taiping is here, she will naturally let go of her indifference.
Xu Taiping noticed the surprised looks in the students' eyes, but he had experienced this kind of look when he was at Jiangyuan University, so he was not used to it at all.
Michaelela took Xu Taiping to a food court next to the school.
The food court serves authentic local delicacies, such as windmill pancakes, fried oysters, fish ball soup, braised pork rice and so on.
Xu Taiping and Michaela bought food while walking. They had no specific goal and ate whatever they saw was delicious.
"Oh, this looks good!" Xu Taiping walked towards a stall with bright eyes.
"Don't eat it, that food doesn't taste good!" Michaelela quickly took Xu Taiping's hand and walked aside with a slight blush.
"No, I've never eaten anything like this before, Da Diao Shao. The name sounds domineering, and it tastes even more domineering!" Xu Taiping stared at someone who looked evil in front of him. said the stick-like thing.
"No, don't!" Michaela shook her head firmly.
Xu Taiping looked at Michaela jokingly and said, "Why not? You said it doesn't taste good. Have you eaten it before?"
"I haven't eaten it before, I don't dare to eat that thing because of its shape!" Michaelela shook his head.
"Hahaha, why don't you dare to eat it because of its shape?" Xu Taiping continued to ask.
Michaela shook her head, blushed, and said nothing.
"Haha, I won't kid you anymore. Let's find a place to eat some staple food. How about that braised pork rice?" Xu Taiping asked, pointing to a snack bar in front of him.
"Yeah, yes, I've eaten it before. It's delicious. Let's go, let's go!" Michaelela said, holding Xu Taiping's hand and walking quickly to the snack bar, for fear that Xu Taiping would go to buy something if he was slow. Eat that big piece of meat.
There are many people in the small fry shop, mostly students.
There are many elementary and middle schools surrounding St. Louis School, so there will be many students eating here around meal time every day.
The shopkeeper cooks with a straight face, the same attitude as all good shopkeepers.
There are no waiters in the store. After you place your order, the fat proprietress will mentally record everything you ordered and then put the items on your table.
Because the small fry shop was full of people, Xu Taiping and Michaela sat at the door of the small fry shop.
The boss's cooking place is also right at the door. Several iron pots are cooking together with skillful movements. Next to the iron pots are various seasonings and side dishes.
Braised pork rice is a very simple type of rice. The braised pork is stewed early. You only need to make a portion of rice, and then scoop a big spoonful of the stewed braised pork on top. This is a bowl of authentic local braised pork. Pilaf and rice, paired with a little green vegetables, and a cup of seaweed soup placed in a metal bucket next to it for refills. This is the memory of many people's student days.
"It's still a bit cold today." Xu Taiping said while eating.
"Yes, I heard from my classmates that it was already hot at this time in previous years, but this year, for some reason, it is still chilly. The average temperature is two or three degrees lower than last year, it seems." Michaelela said.
"Two or three degrees lower?" When Xu Taiping heard this, he suddenly remembered what Zhao Tiezhu told him. He said that the Little Ice Age was coming. Could it be that the Little Ice Age has already arrived?
The most significant feature of the Little Ice Age is the drop in temperature. Isn't the temperature in G City now lower than in previous years?
At this moment, Xu Taiping's cell phone rang.
Xu Taiping picked up his phone and looked at it, and found that it was a call from his eldest cousin.
Xu Taiping picked up the phone.
"Brother Xu, have you heard?" The cousin on the other end of the phone asked Xu Taiping a somewhat puzzling question.
"What did you hear?" Xu Taiping asked.
"KBX Company has officially begun accepting orders for mechanical body modification!" said the eldest cousin.
"What do you mean?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Today KBX Company sent news to all the major arms dealers around the world. They have mastered mature cyborg transformation, which can transform people into cyborgs, giving people super combat capabilities. Such people are considered They are called soldiers! If you have people who need to be transformed, you can pay a part of the money to them, and then kbx company will transform them for you!" said the eldest cousin.
"What?!" Xu Taiping said in surprise, "They actually opened this technology to the outside world?"
"Yes, and the modification is very expensive. The cost of modifying a soldier is 20 million US dollars, which is comparable to the price of the last fighter jet! However, because the soldier is smaller, more flexible, and easier to hide, so Now, as far as I know, many arms dealers have begun to contact kbx company, and I also heard that the human trafficking market will soon start to become popular again, and the black network may appear again!" Big Cousin said.
Xu Taiping frowned when he heard his eldest cousin's words.
In the past, kbx's robots were all used by themselves, so that was okay. Now, he has opened this technology to the outside world, which is troublesome. It won't take long before the number of modified cyborgs will increase dramatically. These semi-cyborgs will Xu Taiping knew that the combat power of the mechanical body was comparable to that of earth-level masters, and it also had a terrifying self-destruction function. Once this kind of semi-mechanical body was integrated into this society, it would inevitably have a huge impact on the stability of the entire society.
Is kbx company crazy about money, or do they just want social instability?
As we all know, kbx company is an arms company. Those who make arms naturally want to fight in as many places as possible. Therefore, Xu Taiping has reason to believe that kbx company is opening their half of the market to the market just to destabilize the society. Mechanical body modification technology.
"Are there no countries that object?" Xu Taiping asked.
"In a free market economy, the state has no way to interfere with the company's normal economic behavior. Moreover, KBX did not bring this matter to the table. They only sent messages to major arms dealers and warlords. , and, as far as I know, many countries have also sent people to communicate with kbx company. I believe that it will not be long before there may be such semi-mechanical modified people in the armies of these countries. !" said the eldest cousin.
"I understand!" Xu Taiping said in a deep voice, "You should focus on following up on this matter."
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Taiping felt a little heavy.
In order to create a new world, the creators deliberately planned to plunge the world into war. After finally beating them up, they had to hide, but in the end they ran away to the kbx company. In order to make more money, this company I also want to plunge the world into war. This world is really unlucky. A tiger just left on the front foot, and a lion came on the back foot.
Xu Taiping sighed, feeling a little tired.
"What's wrong?" Michaela asked.
"It's nothing." Xu Taiping shook his head, smiled, and said, "This braised pork rice is indeed delicious, but the boss doesn't look too good."
"Yes, but we are used to it." Michaelela said with a smile.
"After dinner is over, I will go back. You go to school here. After finishing college in the next few years, you should be able to fully integrate into this society. We will make plans then." Xu Taiping said.
"I will go back and make money for you then!" Michaelela said seriously.
"Make money for me?" Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why?"
"Because... you spent so much money to buy me. The reason why I studied this major is so that I can join your company and make more money for you in the future. I study very seriously every day now! Really! !" Michaelela said.
"You, you." Xu Taiping smiled and touched Michaela's head and said, "Then let's make an agreement. When you graduate, I will take you to work in my company!"
"Okay!" Michaela smiled sweetly and nodded.
The two of them were eating when several well-dressed women walked past Xu Taiping and the others, holding their bags.
These people suddenly stopped and then looked at Michaelela.
"Isn't this the school beauty Mira?" One of the girls wearing a custom-made Chanel dress said to Michaela with an exaggerated look of surprise on her face.
"Yes, yes, this is the school beauty Mira!" A fat woman with freckles immediately said next to her.
"School beauty Mira is eating braised pork rice! Hahaha!" The person who spoke next was a girl who was grown up but had a thick layer of powder on her face.
"Mira, after all, you are also a transfer student from our aristocratic school. Even if you came in through connections, you must at least put on a show and eat some good food. Only in this way can you reflect the nobility of our aristocratic school students. How can you come to eat? What about this kind of roadside stall? It really embarrasses our aristocratic school!" said the woman wearing Chanel with disdain.
"You are so young, haven't you been taught how to speak?" Xu Taiping put down his chopsticks and looked at the girls opposite him and said.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mira, you rejected so many suitors in our school, and I still thought you were so innocent. It seems that you just don't like the young master in the school. Hehe, you actually like this guy. This style of old man is indeed different, white and rosy!" the woman wearing Chanel mocked.
"An Ziqi, don't talk too much!" Michaelela said coldly, looking at the woman wearing Chanel.
"Excessive? I don't think it's too much. Hehe, I won't tell you anymore. We are going to eat steak on the top floor of the 202 Building. Goodbye." The girl named An Ziqi said, raising her chin proudly, and then He walked forward with the other two women.
When Xu Taiping was about to stand up and educate these three ignorant college students, Michaela held Xu Taiping's hand and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry about these people. Such people, There are too many in school, and if I care about them all, then I won’t have to study.”
"I didn't think it through!" Xu Taiping said.
"No, no matter where you are, there will be people like this. It doesn't matter, just be happy!" Michaelela said with a smile.
"If you have been wronged here, or if someone bullies you, call me as soon as possible!" Xu Taiping said seriously.
"Yes, I will!" Michaela smiled sweetly and nodded.
