Mo Jingchun squatted down and pinched the little guy's cheek, "Brother loves you so much too."

"Hold it tight next time, okay?"

"Mmm mmm~" The little one nodded obediently.

Picking up the broken milk bottle from the ground, Mo Jingchun started cleaning up the mess with paper.

Beside him, the little one watched quietly, holding his small hand.

After wiping the floor clean, Mo Jingchun stood up, taking a while to straighten his back, and only felt comfortable after a good while.

Under the little one's expectant gaze, Mo Jingchun once again prepared a bottle of milk and handed it to the little one's hand.

"Here, if you drop it again, there won't be any to drink tonight."

Adorable Candy sniffed and said in a childish voice, "I won't drop it."

After speaking, the little one added:

"Guoguo is very good."

Mo Jingchun, who was preparing to wash his face, turned back and glanced at the little one without refuting.

This time, what the little one said was true. Compared to other kids the same age, Candy was indeed very well-behaved and more understanding of adult talk.

After drinking the milk and taking a bath, Candy immediately crawled under the covers and went to sleep.

As for whether it was real sleep or fake sleep, only Mo Jingchun and Candy knew.

Lying in bed, Mo Jingchun could only watch the locally shared movies on his phone; as for contacting the outside world, there was no need to even think about it.

Although the phone signal was full, it just couldn't connect to the outside network.

Another week passed, and Mo Jingchun, who had endured for half a month, finally completed all the code modifications and debugging.

The Candy algorithm, which was originally just over 100MB after encryption, reached an astounding 200MB this time.

The task was completed, but would such a large space occupied by the algorithm be a bit too much, thereby affecting the computer's response speed?

Mo Jingchun shared his concerns with his teacher, Chen Xihe, who laughed and patted Mo Jingchun's shoulder, saying, "Only a bit over 200MB? That's much smaller than we anticipated."

With the teacher's words, Mo Jingchun instantly felt assured.

Mo Jingchun even started thinking about where to unwind after going back this time.

However, before Mo Jingchun could relish the feeling for long, Academician Chen Xihe's words suddenly brought him back to reality.

"Perfect, while the test team is working on the algorithm, have Li take you to Site 002."

Busy as Academician Chen Xihe was, he didn't explain what to do at Site 002, but without asking, Mo Jingchun knew it was related to the balance posture algorithm.

Exactly what they were going to Site 002 to test regarding the Candy algorithm, Mo Jingchun had no idea.

Yawning, Li Qianqian said to Mo Jingchun, "Bring Candy and come with me."

Song Jiayin, who was always inseparable during work hours, came along too. Li Qianqian glanced briefly but said nothing.

After walking for over ten minutes, Mo Jingchun suddenly found the road ahead seemed somewhat familiar. The next moment, he realized why it felt familiar.

Li Qianqian had brought him to the small high-speed rail platform he had been to half a month ago.

But unlike before, there wasn't a small high-speed rail stopped on the track this time.

Li Qianqian walked confidently to a pillar's backside and pressed a green button. In less than a minute, a small high-speed rail slowly pulled into the station.

"Let's go, get on."

After boarding, the small high-speed rail carried them through the tunnel nonstop. Mo Jingchun saw several platforms through the window, but the train showed no sign of stopping.

This left Mo Jingchun puzzled. How did this unmanned small high-speed rail know the destination accurately? From start to finish, Li Qianqian had only pressed a green button.

Mo Jingchun was utterly baffled.

Meanwhile, Candy in Mo Jingchun's arms was wondering about the time. Wasn't it almost mealtime? Where were they going? Couldn't they eat first before heading out...

Having the phone allowed Mo Jingchun to see that half an hour had passed when they got off at the destination, leaving him at a loss for words.

The speed of the small high-speed rail, Mo Jingchun estimated, was much faster than Jing City's Line 1, easily over 150 km/h. Half an hour would mean they were about 75 km away from the research institute.

This distance is nothing on the surface and even more negligible in the desert.

But the problem is, this is underground in the desert.

How they managed to stabilize the tunnel is one thing, but completing such a massive project without any disturbance on the surface is truly astonishing.

If foreigners knew about this, they'd probably lose sleep over it.

Without even entering the base, just standing on the platform, Mo Jingchun heard explosions, accompanied by fine sand falling from above.

Seeing the layer of yellow sand on the platform, Mo Jingchun finally understood why such an important place wasn't cleaned.

Entering the so-called Site 002, Mo Jingchun finally understood why it was called an experiment site.

There wasn't a maze-like layout; it was all open space as far as the eye could see.

Ignoring the lights overhead, it felt just like an open-air testing ground.

The continuous sparks and several machine guns going rat-a-tat-tat made Mo Jingchun's scalp tingle.

And these machine guns were targeting a silver figure swiftly moving between obstacles.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't hard to see it was a robot dodging bullets.

Although quite unbelievable, the fact was right in front of him, leaving Mo Jingchun no choice but to believe.

"Cool, isn't it?"

"Huh?" Mo Jingchun was taken aback by Li Qianqian's sudden question, then nodded, "Very cool."

However, what Mo Jingchun didn't expect was Li Qianqian's face turning to disappointment as she shook her head and sighed, "It does look cool, but it's all show and no substance."

"Don't be fooled by the robot's ability to dodge bullets; just one hit, and it's basically scrapped."

Seeing Mo Jingchun's confusion, Li Qianqian explained, hands in her lab coat pockets:

"The more precise the machine, the easier it is to destroy, and it triggers a chain reaction."

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun frowned and said, "What about using harder materials?"

"Heavy, low-cost hard materials would exponentially increase the robot's weight, stripping it of its current agility."

"Moreover, current battery technology can't support long-duration operation in combat mode."

As if to prove Li Qianqian's point, the robot in the distance suddenly got stuck on an obstacle, completely immobilized.

Li Qianqian shrugged nonchalantly, "See, just like that."
