Chapter 50: Discovered...or not?
"Is this your design?"
Li Jian Country adjusted his glasses, fully focused on the data modeling of the exoskeleton on the computer, filled with surprise.
Just as Li Jiangang was about to puff out his chest, ready to receive his dad's shock and praise, he heard,
"No, this isn't your work. Your brain couldn't think of such a power dynamics structure."
Li Jian Country still didn't believe in any holographic simulation technology.
When his daughter went out, he secretly wore that helmet. It was pitch black, with nothing in sight, let alone a switch, he couldn't even find the power cord.
Li Jian Country had even doubted before whether Li Jiangang was duped by some cult or pyramid scheme.
But now, looking at the exoskeleton design daughter brought, he was a bit unsure.
Indeed, things like the motion electrical signal simulation system were nonsense, there's not even a shadow of brain-computer interface, and neural-linked prosthetics were way off.
If the country had this technology, they would have showcased it long ago.
The battery technology clearly surpassed current market products, almost reaching laboratory sample levels.
But these had little to do with the mechanical structure of the exoskeleton design itself.
The choice of hydraulic + motor dual drive wasn't clever, but the design of exoskeleton limb movement was very intelligent, and quite mature.
This thing could completely be submitted as a university project result. If his daughter made this on her own, he would eat this computer on the spot!
If he didn't understand his own daughter's level, then what was he doing as a university professor?
Li Jiangang almost lost her breath, rolling her eyes, she sat beside her dad.
"What if I say it's my design, what would you say?"
She lied without even blushing.
Li Jian Country didn't even lift his head.
"Did you design it?"
"No..."
After saying this, Li Jiangang deflated like a balloon and collapsed onto the sofa.
"I think there's definitely a very professional scientific team acting as advisors behind this game. There are so many things I don't understand, yet the NPC explains it so clearly, I feel like your daughter's IQ was crushed by a group of NPCs!"
Then she shamelessly clung onto her dad, wriggling like a shameless snake.
"So, I want you to help me ask if it's a national project. You must know those people, please~~"
"Go, go, what nonsense, was your head hit by a falling wrench and got muddled? Even if it exists, I wouldn't tell you."
How could there be such a mature project in the public experimental stage without him knowing?
This could change the whole social economy.
If holographic reality technology was real and maturely commercialized, then it's no exaggeration to say that it could mass-produce Musk-level tycoons.
Yet, so far, he hadn't heard a single rumor.
So,
Absolutely impossible
to exist!
This was just his daughter teaming up with a few like-minded friends or young professors to create some fun to tease him.
Feeling miffed by her dad, Li Jiangang pouted. If this old bone wasn't her dad, anyone else talking to her like that would have been shown who's boss with her fists.
"A flower blooms~~ and then a flower withers~~"
The old mobile ringtone broke the awkward atmosphere between the father and daughter, Li Jian Country took out his flip phone, adjusted his glasses, turned his back, and pressed the answer button.
"Hey~ Old Zhang, what brings you to call me today?"
Li Jiangang was fuming, the old man wouldn't use the new phone she bought him but cling to that decade-old phone, claiming he was worried about being monitored by foreign forces.
Where would these foreign forces come from?
The Moon?
Seeming to hear something, Li Jian Country's tone became a bit urgent.
"Ah? No way, she wouldn't, her brain wouldn't be sought by any cult, maybe it's just a scam used to deceive, she's naive to believe it. I'll talk to her, it'll be fine, smashing the helmet will solve it, not a big deal... what did you say... okay, okay, I got it..."
Then, back to calmness, the room's atmosphere started to become heavy, after a moment of silence, he said to the other end.
"I got it... I'll come over right away...."
Li Jian Country slowly stood up after hanging up, looking at his daughter with a strange expression.
Being stared at with such eyes made Li Jiangang a bit panicked, because according to her past twenty-or-so years of life experience, usually, this look was followed by a close encounter with a feather duster, but the last time she got hit was several years ago.
"What... what do you want, I didn't do anything."
Li Jian Country stated sternly,
"Don't use that helmet until I get back. You're in trouble, I'm telling you, Li Jiangang, you better not let me catch you doing something wrong... or else.... or else...."
He glanced around, walked to the cabinet, taking down the feather duster that was long gathering dust, almost shedding feathers.
"I'll beat you until even the hooks are gone, you understand?"
Li Jiangang stoutly retorted, "What did I do! Why do you get to hit me! I'm an adult, I'll have you know, you can't beat me!"
Though she said so, she quickly hid behind her mom who came in upon hearing the commotion.
"Just you wait, I'll deal with you when I get back."
