Chapter 14 Defects
Special Affairs Bureau, Research Department Building.
At this moment, in Hong Tao's private office, Old Zheng was sitting on the sofa, and Hong Tao was taking out a packet of tea from the drawer, brewing it, and handing it to Old Zheng.
After taking a sip, Mr. Zheng said, "Good tea. It seems Dr. Hong has excellent tea-making skills."
He then placed his teacup on the table and said with a smile, "Dr. Hong, you've had your tea. Now you can tell me about your report. I'm all ears."
Seeing this, Hong Tao said directly, "Old Zheng, at today's meeting I only introduced the performance and data of the Kaixa armor, but the Kaixa has a fatal flaw that I did not explain."
Old Zheng's smile gradually disappeared, and then he said seriously, "Dr. Hong, what is this defect? What impact will it have? Will it affect the normal use of Kaixa? Can you explain it to me in detail?"
Upon seeing this, Hong Tao quickly said, "Don't worry, Elder Zheng, this defect will not affect the normal use of the Kaixa armor, but it will have some impact on the users of the Kaixa."
Upon hearing this, Old Zheng frowned slightly and asked, "Dr. Hong, what specific aspects are you referring to that will affect users?"
Hong Tao sighed and slowly said, "Because the Kaixa armor was an accidental product of our research process, although we made some adjustments later, it still has a rather obvious problem."
While maintaining formidable combat power, Kaixa inflicts irreversible damage on the user's body.
Moreover, this damage gradually worsens with prolonged use, eventually potentially leading to physical inconvenience and even endangering the user's life.
Upon hearing this, Old Zheng's face turned extremely grim. He silently picked up the now-cold teacup and fell into deep thought.
Hong Tao stood quietly to the side, not going forward to disturb them. At this moment, a strange atmosphere filled the room, making people feel oppressed.
However, the silence did not last long. After a few minutes, Professor Zheng finally broke the silence. He turned his head, stared at Hong Tao, and asked with a hint of hope in his voice, "Dr. Hong, do you and the research department really have no way to eliminate this side effect?"
Hong Tao frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, and replied, "We can indeed find a way to reduce or eliminate this side effect, but in that case, Kaixa's power will be limited and she will no longer be able to unleash it as before."
Ultimately, it might just become a slightly enhanced set of equipment for Leo's cavalry.
After hearing this, Old Zheng also gave up his last bit of hope. Although he really wanted to give up on the armor with side effects, he then thought of the information in the reports from various local governments that he had looked at while working.
Orphinoids appeared in more than a dozen provinces across the country, although some of them did not disrupt social order.
However, a large portion of the Orphnochs lost their way due to their immense power, and began to slaughter civilians and plunder their wealth.
Some Orphnochs even began to band together and confront the Special Operations Bureau.
Although they were all dealt with by the local special operations agency, some Orphnoch escaped. Over time, these Orphnoch have become stronger, and the situation will become increasingly difficult.
If this trend continues, the pressure on the Leo cavalry will only increase. If there are no other deterrent forces, the Orphnochs will likely become even more arrogant and domineering, causing even greater harm to society.
After carefully explaining the pros and cons, Mr. Zheng stood up and looked at Hong Tao with a firm and determined gaze, saying, "Since the side effects of Kaixa cannot be completely eliminated, your research department should try its best to find some control methods."
As for the users of Kaixa, I'll leave that to them.
After saying this, Old Zheng resolutely stood up and walked towards the door.
Hong Tao followed, wanting to see him off, but Old Zheng waved him off.
His solitary yet resolute figure slowly departed, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.
......
Suburbs of Harbin, in the eastern province.
There was a quiet little village nestled near the mountains and forests. It was a very remote place. Chen Yexi carried a large basket on his back and walked through the forest. Behind him were two men who also carried baskets. The three of them chatted and laughed happily as they walked.
Ever since Chen Yexi revealed his true identity as Wolf Orphnoch and killed those thugs, he has been wanted and pursued by the Harbin Special Operations Bureau's action team.
Although he was discovered and engaged in fierce combat with Leo's cavalry, he ultimately chose to flee the battlefield due to the enemy's superior numbers.
Fortunately, he was quite good at escaping.
He encountered these two people when he fled to this small village near the mountains to escape capture. After they got to know each other, he was surprised to find that all three of them were Orphnochs!
The younger man was named Yu Li, and the older man was named Yu Sheng. They were brothers.
The reason they became Orphnochs is also quite bizarre.
One day, the two of them went up the mountain to collect yams, intending to sell them at the market. However, that afternoon, a torrential downpour suddenly began, and the roads became extremely slippery.
As a result, the two accidentally slipped and tumbled down the cliff. When they woke up again, they had become an Orphnoch pangolin and an Orphnoch bull.
Despite possessing immense power, neither of them harbored any evil intentions.
After all, their ancestors had made a living in this mountain for generations, so they only relied on the power of the Orphnoch to find some precious herbs in the mountain and sell them.
Later, while they were collecting herbs in the mountains, they happened to meet the injured Chen Yexi and, out of kindness, took him home and took good care of him.
After recovering from her injuries, Chen Yexi saw that the area was remote and far from downtown Harbin, so she stayed to help the Yu brothers collect herbs, and her life became more stable.
While the three were gathering herbs on the mountain, several vehicles bearing the markings of the Special Affairs Bureau drove up the village road and stopped at the village entrance. A villager got out of one of the vehicles and said obsequiously to Ma Mingzhe, "Boss, this is it. I saw that wanted criminal near the Yu brothers' house when I was wandering around the village earlier. He looks exactly like the one in the newspaper. Look at my reward..."
Upon hearing this, Ma Mingzhe nodded and gestured to his team members to take the villager out of the car to collect the reward.
Then, he turned to another team member and said, "Contact the patrol and inspection department and ask them to send people to evacuate the villagers."
Ma Mingzhe continued to survey the surroundings of the village, silently planning how to proceed.
After a while, the team member finished the call and reported to him, "I've notified the patrol and inspection department, and they'll be there soon." Ma Mingzhe nodded.
