"These words...were written specifically for him, right?" Ji Yu raised his eyebrows.
"What do you mean?" Gao Fei asked.
"It's a vague statement, ambiguous. Most people wouldn't speak like that." Lin Fan nodded.
"Didn't it make things clear?" Li Chunhua didn't understand. "Didn't they say he forged it?"
"He just said the photo was photoshopped, but he never said from the beginning to the end that he photoshopped the mecha in." Song Ren said, "Adjusting the lighting also counts as photoshopping."
"Then why not just say that the mecha was pried in?" Li Chunhua didn't understand why such a simple sentence was made so complicated.
Lin Fan smiled, "This is to pave the way for the mecha to appear before people in the future. When we look back at this later, we won't be able to find fault with it."
"Otherwise, there will be public opinion saying that someone forced him to speak. I guess there will be comments now. If you don't believe me, just look," Ji Yu raised his chin.
Jiang You had already clicked on the comments and was reading them.
In just a short while, there were thousands of comments, most of which were abusive.
All manner of cursing from all corners of the world converged in an instant. Lin Fan even learned several curse words in dialect.
"Look, here." Jiang You pointed to a comment. "This person said, 'Did the original poster get kidnapped to post this? If so, just blink.'"
I flipped through a few more pages. "It's here too. 'It feels vague and uncertain. It seems like it could be true or false.'"
Among the large number of abusive comments, there would occasionally be one or two different comments like this, but most of them were swept away by the torrent of abusive comments and quickly disappeared.
"Will this person be accused of depression?" Lin Fan was a little worried. In just a short while, there were already tens of thousands of comments.
"Probably not." Ji Yu replied, "Black and red are also red. They just want traffic, it doesn't matter whether it's positive or not."
"Really?" Lin Fan frowned and looked at Song Ren.
Song Ren nodded and said, "That's what they say. But you don't have to worry. He will definitely be under Cen Fangyuan's supervision from now on. If something really happens, Cen Fangyuan will not ignore it."
"Ah?" Li Chunhua's worry subsided after the heavy burden fell from her chest. She ate her cold rice with big mouthfuls, "You're not going to let him go?"
This guy was clearly tricked out, and I don't know what method was used to film this video. Judging by the reaction time, it's more likely that he's in Cen Fangyuan's hands.
But no matter which side he falls into, after witnessing the situation of the mecha with his own eyes, it will be impossible for him to return to his previous unrestrained state.
"It might not be detention, it could be surveillance. After all, he's an ordinary citizen, unlike us," Song Ren said. "People like them might not strictly abide by the confidentiality agreement they signed, so the possibility of them letting something slip is very high."
"Are those two firefighters also under surveillance?" Lin Fan asked, thinking of the two people he saw at the fire scene. "Are they also under surveillance?"
"I'm not sure about that. After all, firefighters are different from ordinary people." Song Ren shook his head. "Anyway, Cen Fangyuan will handle it. But this ordinary person will probably need to be kept under close watch."
"That's really uncomfortable." Lin Fan curled his lips, stood up, took the empty plate and ran to the window to get food.
Song Ren looked at her back and lowered his head to finish the leftovers on the plate.
Li Chunhua put her mouth to the plate and ate fiercely with a guilty conscience. When Lin Fan first came, he and Song Ren monitored her 24 hours a day.
Who was she referring to when she said she felt so bad? Did she know...
Li Chunhua's heart was at ease, but it was lifted up again in a short while.
However, according to his careful observation later, Lin Fan was no different after he came back from getting food.
Hmm... probably just a sigh for that damned bastard. Lin Fan is so kind.
After figuring it out, Li Chunhua felt relieved again.
Ji Yu had finished eating long ago and was watching Li Chunhua's expression changing from time to time, without saying a word.
It's so easy to guess what someone is thinking just by looking at their face...
The photo incident was passed over so lightly.
The next day’s hot search list was filled with a new round of news.
Li Chunhua flipped through her phone but couldn't find any news from yesterday. She couldn't help but wonder if her memory was wrong and nothing had happened at all.
He asked Ji Yu for confirmation and received a positive answer. "You are not mistaken, there is such a thing."
"Then why can't I even find its shadow?" Li Chunhua didn't give up and continued to slide down.
"In this fast-food age, everything comes and goes quickly." Ji Yu looked up from Inside My Head and said to him, "And after the confession video went viral last night, the authorities are definitely going to clear the image. It's normal that you can't find it."
"Okay." When Li Chunhua heard that, he thought to himself, there was no point in looking for it anymore and he threw his phone away.
It's all in the past anyway, so why bother with it?
Gao Fei was alone, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
But as time went by, nothing happened, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the mecha photo incident that went viral some time ago.
Gao Fei finally let go of his anxious heart.
The few of them continued their daily training. The Xingchen's standby time was now stable at 2.5 hours.
623 recently proposed a new idea.
Wasn’t it because of the scarcity of 818 materials that only four finished bionic armors were produced?
However, a living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine. If there is no 818, will there be no new mechas?
That’s definitely not possible!
So after discussion, the researchers decided to reduce the performance of the bionic armor, shrink its beautiful appearance, and reduce unnecessary decorative structures to reduce the weight of the mecha.
Don't try to compare the strength with first-generation bionic armor like Fu Guang, just make it the strongest with existing materials.
Therefore, under Zhang Zhaojie's design, the appearance of the second-generation bionic armor became somewhat similar to that of Iron Man.
The angular outer armor was completely rounded, and even the beautiful pointed feathers standing high on both sides of the helmet disappeared, leaving only the round helmet-like head.
Due to reduced strength, the first generation's rear-opening method can no longer be used. Instead, it is put on by a robot, and the various parts are assembled and locked together from front to back.
In terms of energy, it still uses batteries, but it draws on the solar power function of 818 and adds solar panels.
Judging from the results, it is undoubtedly a technological regression.
But if you don't compare it with Fu Guang and the others, it is still a success.
As for the appearance, it’s not bad, but it can’t be compared with the first generation.
There is no way, after all, the first generation of bionic armor is made by peeling it off from the stars.
Although, but...
After the second generation sample was successfully produced, although its performance was not as good as the first generation, it was much better than similar products.
After all, it was completed by doing subtraction on the Xingchen template, plus the added points of the Xinglan intelligent system.
In other words, within 800, as long as we put aside the five mechas of Xingchen, the newly released second-generation bionic armor can directly beat other products of the same level.
This reduction in performance also means reduced demands on the driver.
Lin Fan went up and tried it, and was able to move it barely.
So after reporting to higher levels, the second-generation bionic armor team was ready to be formed.
The mecha team that Cui Yan had originally envisioned took another step forward.
