The two teams, five people on each side, numbered ten in total. Fang Er recognized some of them, but several were unfamiliar faces.
He couldn't help but look at Li Tai and ask.
"Who are the ones down there?"
Hearing him ask about it, Li Tai immediately became excited and pointed to the people below, explaining them one by one.
"Heh heh, these are all ones I've brought back from other worlds."
"It took quite a bit of effort to put this team together."
"Look at the red team over there, yes, the one with the red armbands."
"Lu Ban, Meng Tian, Xiang Yu, Wang Zhaojun, Bian Que!"
"Now look at the green team, it's Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, the Five Tiger Generals!"
"How about it, exciting to watch them in action?"
Fang Er was stunned. He then looked at the monster zone, where "real people" were also present.
Kangaroos, crocodiles, striped wolves, brown bears, giant lizards, and so on. Each monster had various equipment or supplies attached to it.
The Baron was two giant jungle pythons.
"What's going on with those soldiers?"
"Why are the Skyfire Army soldiers fighting? Won't that disrupt their training?"
Fang Er pointed at the soldiers marching in formation beside Guan Yu and the others, feeling a bit annoyed.
Damn it, letting these soldiers abandon their duties to play games with you?
"Mountain Chief, you may not know, but we used other people before."
"Like those aborigines from Australia, but they had no military training at all and couldn't even form a proper line."
"Later, we bought some Indian slaves from the trade caravan."
"But guess what?"
"Those guys ran into the monster zone less than five minutes after they entered the arena."
"They killed a lot of giant lizards and striped wolves..."
"Damn them, they didn't even spare the brown bears, it was sickening!"
"We had no choice but to select people from the Skyfire Army. But don't worry, Mountain Chief, they are just filling in during their rest periods."
Fang Er: ...
Damn it!
That place really does produce oddities!
Standing on the high wall, watching the intense battle below, he kicked Li Tai in the stomach after a long while. He looked at him with disdain.
"If you could put half the effort you're putting here into research, you wouldn't be so unsuccessful right now!"
"Heh heh, that's not possible!"
"What's not possible?"
"Heh heh, what I mean is, being unsuccessful is impossible!"
Li Tai leaned in mysteriously. "Mountain Chief, to be honest, I've found a research direction now!"
"And I'm collaborating with Gauss and Faraday on it."
"Let's go, let me show you!"
Saying that, he pulled Fang Er and walked down from the high wall.
Leaving the King's Canyon, they each rode a small electric scooter towards the research area.
Research Room No. 0001 was Li Tai's private domain; everything here was decided by him.
Upon entering, they saw seven Gauss, nine Faradays, and four spherical Li Tais gathered around a strange object, pointing and discussing something in Chinese.
All the outstanding individuals brought back, regardless of their country of origin, had to learn Chinese immediately upon arrival here.
This was the most basic requirement!
"The Rama line needs to be wound here, otherwise the magnetic field strength won't meet the requirements."
"The resistance also needs to be increased by another 0.4 units."
"The explosion last time was due to improper control of the temperature of the Taijin. We must be careful this time."
"The nut numbered 845 needs to be loosened by half a turn."
"Oh, and also..."
Standing at the doorway, their discussion sounded like gibberish to Fang Er, he understood nothing!
"What are they doing?"
"Nothing much. I've led them in a detailed disassembly of a gold dredging ship, and we found something interesting inside."
"We've tried several times. Your craftsmanship is excellent, perhaps you could help us with the assembly?"
Li Tai scratched the back of his head and looked at him expectantly.
"Alright, I'll see what you brats are up to!"
Fang Er readily agreed.
Seeing him agree, Li Tai immediately shouted to everyone inside.
"Stop!"
After a brief introduction, he began to assign tasks.
"White Tiger Tai, go get the tools for the Mountain Chief."
"Azure Dragon Tai, go call back everyone who isn't here."
"Vermilion Bird Tai, go clear the experimental area. It needs to be used immediately after assembly."
"Black Tortoise Tai, go prepare the camera and recording equipment, and also bring the small scooters to collect data."
"..."
For each name called, a spherical Li Tai with the corresponding pattern tattooed on his forehead would step out.
After cupping their fists in greeting, they would proceed with the preparations as instructed.
Fang Er stared at him blankly. Good heavens, he had created the Four Divine Beasts directly!
The Gauss and Faradays also moved aside, fully revealing the object they had been surrounding to Fang Er.
It was a pile of unassembled parts. From the parts alone, it was impossible to tell what it was for.
On the empty ground beside the workbench, there was also a pile of something that looked like an outer casing.
"Tell me, how should I do it."
Fang Er stepped forward, circled the workbench twice, and asked Li Tai.
"Come on, bring out all the data from failures caused by assembly errors!"
"With the Mountain Chief here, we'll definitely solve all these problems this time!"
Li Tai clapped his hands towards the crowd.
The Gauss and Faradays immediately rushed to the bookshelves outside the research room and brought back stacks of documents.
Seeing this, Fang Er was speechless.
"You just said that experiments would explode if they failed?"
"Yes! And the power is immense!" Li Tai nodded very seriously.
Fang Er pointed at the documents in Grape Gauss's arms.
"With so many uncertain points, how have you all survived until now?"
Li Tai spread his hands. "So, we've already lost over seventy people..."
"The research team, which was originally four hundred people, is now just over three hundred..."
Fang Er was instantly dumbfounded. "What on earth are you guys building?"
Li Tai crossed his arms, rested his chin on his hand, and looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle.
"All about the unspoken things between magnetic fields and light particles!"
Fang Er: ...
It's hopeless, I don't understand!
But if he admitted it, he felt a little embarrassed, so he pretended to nod.
"Okay, so that's the topic."
"Only over seventy deaths is acceptable."
