The car left Jiangcheng Shelter No. 3 and arrived at Jiangcheng Shelter No. 2.
Soon, they reached the original Jiangcheng University.
At this time, all schools had suspended classes, and naturally, there were no students at Jiangcheng University.
Within Jiangcheng University, various facilities, grounds, and dormitories were readily available, so it served as the temporary headquarters for the Jiangcheng Research Institute.
The research institute of S City University, where Song Pinxuan and his colleagues were located, was also temporarily stationed here.
The Jiangcheng Research Institute was also under military control.
When Tang Li entered the campus of Jiangcheng University, she noticed that there were many soldiers standing guard and patrolling, with tight security.
However, since the Exchange frequently had to deal with the Research Institute, the Exchange's cars naturally had passes.
After entering the campus, they headed straight for the building where the S City University Research Institute was located.
Below the building, a person was standing there, waiting.
"Are you Miss Tang Li? I've heard about you from my brother, He Yun. I've long admired you."
"I am an associate researcher at our S University Research Institute, and He Yun's twin brother, He Xiao."
As soon as Tang Li got out of the car, the person waiting below came forward to greet her.
This person was precisely He Xiao, whom Tang Li had met once before.
Upon hearing this, Tang Li could only offer an awkward yet polite smile.
Who knew what He Yun had told him about her, or what made him admire her so much…
An employee from the Exchange took out the mechanical exoskeleton Tang Li had worn from the car and handed it to He Xiao, then parked the car in a shaded spot by the building.
He still had to wait for Tang Li to come out and take her back to the Exchange.
Tang Li, while making polite conversation with He Xiao, followed him into the research institute building.
From He Xiao, Tang Li learned that the genetically modified rice worms were indeed created by him and Song Pinxuan.
This confirmed Tang Li's suspicion that Song Pinxuan possessed memories from a previous life.
It was also evident that, in addition to the genetically modified rice worms, the brain-computer interface and the mechanical exoskeleton were also created by Song Pinxuan.
At this time, Tang Li did not know that Song Pinxuan had also gained a small portion of previous-life memories related to her after interacting with her. Nor did she know that Song Pinxuan had also created the brain-computer interface and mechanical exoskeleton in the previous life, which was why he could find clues so quickly.
Tang Li simply believed that Song Pinxuan had many memories from a previous life.
Not only did he have many technological inventions that she couldn't access in her previous life, but he also knew many things that happened after her death.
This made Tang Li constantly want to find an opportunity to pry some information out of Song Pinxuan.
Of course, the premise was not to expose her own previous-life memories in front of him.
Before long, they arrived at a floor with a door labeled "Brain-Computer Interface and Mechanical Exoskeleton Technology Research Group."
Entering the corridor on that floor, Tang Li saw many people busy in the rooms on this level.
Where the room doorplates should have indicated classrooms, they were now marked with "Basic Frame Assembly Room," "Mechanical Arm Assembly Room," and so on, making it an assembly plant for mechanical exoskeletons.
"All the mechanical exoskeletons sold by the Exchange, whether standard or custom-made, are manufactured here."
"Although many of the components are produced in the industrial zone, the final assembly, debugging, and determination of brainwave frequencies all happen here."
He Xiao explained to Tang Li.
Without stopping in those rooms, he led Tang Li directly to the innermost room.
After opening the door, he had the mechanical exoskeletons that Tang Li had worn brought in. After the people carrying the mechanical exoskeletons left, he welcomed Tang Li in.
Upon entering, Tang Li discovered that this was a laboratory converted from a conference room, much larger than the assembly rooms converted from classrooms they had just seen.
There were very few people inside. Each person was focused on their own work, and no one noticed the arrival of He Xiao and Tang Li.
Tang Li immediately saw Song Pinxuan in a glass-partitioned compartment, staring intently at a helmet-like machine with a frown.
"Miss Tang, please wait a moment. Our group leader dislikes being disturbed when he is deep in thought. I'll call him when he exits that state."
He Xiao said to Tang Li with a hint of apology.
Tang Li shook her head, indicating it was fine.
She had plenty of time and was not in a hurry.
It was a good opportunity to properly observe Song Pinxuan.
Perhaps sensing someone looking at him, Song Pinxuan suddenly looked up.
A figure that often appeared in his dreams materialized before his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, they both averted their gazes elsewhere.
