Biological Vision

"Mr. Zhang... aren't you making things difficult for Junlin?"

Everyone helped Zhang Cheng up, speaking with helpless expressions.

This batch had already been manufactured, and the Capacity Expanders had already been installed. Removing them would require dismantling the Crystal Blocks. How could that be possible?

They sourced their Crystal Blocks from blank Crystal Block manufacturers.

Crystal Block manufacturing technology was in those manufacturers' hands, and it was a top-level trade secret.

It was like a car factory buying engines from a supplier.

You could build cars, but if you took an engine apart and wanted to put it back together, that would be harder than climbing to heaven.

It was not something that could be done overnight, nor something one or two people could accomplish.

Yet upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Fu Junlin did not reject the idea immediately.

Instead, he was tempted.

He needed an opportunity like this, because he truly was short of money.

"Big Black!"

Fu Junlin called Big Black's name in his mind.

"Hm? Why disturb someone's sweet dreams?"

Big Black replied lazily.

"Quit being artsy. Can I borrow your Biological Vision?"

Fu Junlin had thought of it.

Big Black had previously said that it was a life-form with many Gene Locks unlocked, and Fu Junlin had witnessed the power of its Biological Vision.

With a single touch, it could see the infection inside Shi Hongyu's body.

With a single touch, it could see the circuitry inside a Battle Flag Crystal Block.

"Ha! Hahahaha! So you have a day like this too! This is simply a lioness's roar east of the river!"

Big Black instantly perked up and burst into wild laughter.

"If I'm not mistaken, you were trying to say, 'Thirty years east of the river...'"

Fu Junlin pressed his lips together, speechless.

"Enough nonsense. I can let you use Biological Vision! But you have to agree to one condition!!"

Big Black practically howled.

"Name it."

Fu Junlin gritted his teeth.

"Give me six hours of free activity every day! I want to control this body!!"

Big Black roared maniacally.

Fu Junlin fell silent for a long while.

"Twenty minutes. At most twenty minutes a day."

Big Black: ???

"Aren't you being a little too unreasonable?!"

Big Black's tone revealed his utter bewilderment. What kind of infernal bargaining had he just experienced?

"If you mean I'm going too far, then no, I'm not. I still have to live, take care of my younger brother and mother, keep up with my studies, and work..."

Fu Junlin sighed and spoke calmly.

"Oh, fine, enough already. You're annoying. Two hours, then?"

Big Black said helplessly.

"Forty minutes. And I decide when."

Fu Junlin said it without room for argument.

"Deal!! A gentleman's word is as good as gold! No backing out!"

Big Black immediately said excitedly.

Forty minutes was not little, and he had suddenly figured something out just now. If this kid came begging him once, there would be a second time, and a third.

When that time came, heh heh...

At this moment, Wang Kai also patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder.

Zhang Cheng painfully buried his face in his palms, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Wang Kai took the chance to give Fu Junlin a look, signaling that he could leave.

"I can... give it a try. Things are already like this, anyway."

Unexpectedly, Fu Junlin weakly raised his hand and smiled at Wang Kai.

"Really??"

Zhang Cheng instantly came alive, jerking his head up to stare at Fu Junlin as tears poured from his eyes.

"I can't guarantee I'll succeed. I'm only trying. We might as well treat a dead horse like a live one."

Fu Junlin emphasized it once more.

Anyone with eyes could tell that the kid was leaving himself a way out, reminding everyone that if he really failed and caused losses to the Crystal Blocks, they could not blame him!

Wang Kai understood Fu Junlin's little schemes better than anyone, but Fu Junlin being willing to try was a good thing.

At least there was a sliver of hope.

"I understand! Don't worry, I definitely won't blame you!"

Zhang Cheng excitedly wiped away his tears, scrubbing his face fiercely with his sleeve until it was bright red.

"Good. I need an old-fashioned Ten-Armed Semi-Automatic deluxe operating console. And ten Parameter Locking Devices."

Fu Junlin nodded, then spoke firmly.

"An old-fashioned one... We don't have a Ten-Armed Semi-Automatic at our factory, but we have a new Six-Arm Fully Automatic with an AI panel. Wouldn't that be better?"

Wang Kai asked in confusion.

Though the Ten-Armed Semi-Automatic had not yet been phased out, it was not difficult to find.

As for Parameter Locking Devices, they were specialized equipment for semi-automatics. Usually, there was no need for so many.

Fu Junlin shook his head.

"Uncle Kai, a calculator can usually calculate faster than a human brain, but it can only go fifteen digits past the decimal point.

But if you give someone paper and a pen, they can quickly fill an entire page with calculations, because the human brain is more precise."

Although Wang Kai understood what Fu Junlin meant, he could not help showing a trace of embarrassment.

Fill an entire page with calculations.

Did he think everyone was like him?

Wang Kai himself had gone home and calculated for most of the night without figuring anything out. That was why he had failed to stop it in time.

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng gained another measure of hope. This was called not taking on porcelain work without diamond tools.

Fu Junlin looked unhurried, but whenever he spoke, he gave people a feeling that everything was under control.

Less than fifty minutes later.

Zhang Cheng personally ran out twice and found an old-fashioned Ten-Armed Semi-Automatic.

As the name implied, ten arms meant an operating console with ten mechanical arms. Such consoles generally required all ten arms to move at once.

It was controlled through finger touch inputs, requiring clear and meticulous thinking as well as a certain level of proficiency.

The office did not have enough power, so the machine had to be connected to the production line's energy port.

Nearly more than half the factory gathered around.

While having Wang Kai and the others help Fu Junlin assemble the machine, Zhang Cheng maintained order, telling everyone to stay back and not disturb Fu Junlin.

Fu Junlin stretched his body, then began assembling the ten Parameter Locking Devices with a grave expression.

These Parameter Locking Devices were what could turn this semi-automatic into something close to fully automatic, recording every movement of the mechanical arms.

"Junlin, are you confident?"

Watching Zhang Cheng frantically run around nearby, jumping up and down as he dispersed the crowd, Wang Kai sighed and quietly asked Fu Junlin.

By then, Zhang Cheng and several supervisors had also gathered around.

"Junlin, can you start?"

"Junlin, do you know how to use this thing?"

The few of them started nervously talking over one another.

"I'll do my best."

Fu Junlin chuckled, took a deep breath, and placed both hands on the ten delicate control sticks of the operating console.

An arc of energy enclosed an area at the center of the console. Within it was a second-stage Crystal Block that had already sparked and would explode if used again.

Fu Junlin insisted on using this second-stage Crystal Block because its damaged circuitry had already been exposed, making it easier to locate the key points.

Ten slender mechanical arms began rotating together inside with a clattering whir.

The people who had just been worried about whether Fu Junlin knew how to use the mechanical arms nearly had their eyes pop out.

Fu Junlin handled the mechanical arms like a butterfly flitting through flowers. The ten arms danced up and down, each performing its own task.

In a mere six seconds, Fu Junlin had used six mechanical arms to grip the separated Crystal Block pieces and completely dismantle the Crystal Block in an orderly fashion.

The sight made everyone stop breathing.
