Chapter 530 The Detector
Chen Yang feigned nonchalance, pointing into the distance with his finger. "Hey, look there! Isn't that Professor Wang? Professor Wang is truly an expert, arriving here so quickly to find the root cause. Let's go take a look."
The surrounding villagers looked into the distance and exclaimed upon seeing a blurry figure.
"Oh my, it really is Professor Wang! Professor Wang is already old, it must have been difficult for him to come here!"
"Professor Wang is so dedicated, he truly is a university professor, finding the root cause so quickly."
A group of people praised Wang Zhiqiang and rushed towards the lakeside.
Wang Zhiqiang was engrossed in tinkering with his machine. Hearing footsteps, he turned and saw dozens of villagers surrounding him. A flash of impatience and ferocity flickered in Wang Zhiqiang's eyes.
'How did these ants follow me here? How did they know about this place?' Wang Zhiqiang wondered, but then he stood up, a smile appearing on his face.
Chen Yang and Qin Ming arrived beside Wang Zhiqiang. Chen Yang took the opportunity to glance at the box in front of Wang Zhiqiang. The box was now open, revealing a screen displaying numerous converging lines and data. Below the screen were several control consoles.
Just then, a robot, about the size of an ant, rolled and crawled into a crevice between rocks.
Chen Yang was somewhat surprised by this sight. This was a miniature robot for terrain exploration. Made from the most advanced nanometerials, it was small but not slow, possessing a certain degree of automatic pathfinding capability.
Such robots were only possessed by a handful of countries and companies worldwide. Even his own Heavenly Doctor Hall had only one such machine.
Yet, here was Wang Zhiqiang, carrying this most advanced automatic terrain detector.
Chen Yang glanced at Wang Zhiqiang. The professor's gaze was complex, filled with impatience and a hint of killing intent, though he was clearly trying to suppress it.
Chen Yang understood that the old man was contemplating murder but likely refrained due to the sheer number of people present.
Chen Yang seized the moment and exclaimed, "Wow, look how amazing Professor Wang's machine is! It has so many little robots! What kind of high-tech equipment is this? If our security team had one of these, our community would be much safer."
Li Gang, panting, heard Chen Yang's words and immediately walked over, cursing, "You idiot, shut up! Your security team just needs a few cameras, what do you need robots for?"
"Get out of the way, let me take a look!"
"Let me tell you, although I studied psychiatry, I'm a supercomputer enthusiast! What kind of electronic equipment haven't I seen?"
Li Gang said this as he pushed Chen Yang aside, crouching down to examine Wang Zhiqiang's box. Upon seeing the screen and the various control systems inside, Li Gang cried out. He immediately knelt by the box and exclaimed, "No way, seriously?"
"This... this is the world's most advanced fully automatic nanometerial detector robot. My goodness, Jinling University is just too rich!"
"Professor Wang, Jinling University is actually willing to let you use such an instrument! This machine alone costs tens of billions of dollars!"
Wang Zhiqiang's eyelids twitched at this, and he nodded awkwardly, "Yes, yes, the school has been very good to me!"
Zhou Shanshan walked over and asked Li Gang, "Senior, is this thing so expensive? No wonder the professor held onto it so tightly all the way here!"
Hearing Zhou Shanshan address him directly and ask him questions, Li Gang became spirited again. He replied, "Of course! That good-for-nothing Chen Yang just said he wanted to use it for community defense. It's hilarious."
"One such machine could buy the entire community, not just one, but seven or eight communities wouldn't be a problem. This thing isn't just expensive; it involves a lot of technological secrets."
"From what I can see, this box should contain over eight thousand nanometerial robots. They are now distributed throughout this entire mountain, entering the ground from every possible opening, exploring the entire geological structure."
"These robots can not only transmit geological element data in real-time but also capture underground images, possessing a certain drilling capability to delve deep underground, exploring subterranean areas, caves, and ancient tombs."
"This is an extremely useful device. I never imagined Professor Wang would bring such a valuable machine for the sake of the villagers of Qingshui Village."
After Li Gang's explanation, Zhou Shanshan was somewhat shocked. She quickly said, "So it's such an advanced machine. No wonder Professor Wang could find the source of the toxin so quickly!"
Qin Ming and the other villagers, upon hearing Li Gang and Zhou Shanshan's conversation, immediately nodded their thanks to Wang Zhiqiang. Qin Ming said, "Professor Wang, thank you so much, truly so much! I never expected the experts from above to care about us so much!"
"I was quite puzzled earlier, wondering how Professor Wang knew that our villagers were affected by the eight-immortal fish, and how he knew the source of the eight-immortal fish poisoning was here."
"So, it turns out Professor Wang has such a powerful machine. That makes sense now!"
"However, Professor Wang, this is ultimately our village's affair. Please don't bear it all yourself in the future. Just tell us if you need anything, and we will do our best to fulfill it."
Qin Ming was filled with gratitude, and the surrounding villagers also quickly expressed their thanks to Wang Zhiqiang.
At this moment, a villager with a honest face approached, carrying a bag containing food. His name was Aniu. He had a simple appearance but, due to his large build, often felt hungry, so he had developed the habit of carrying food with him.
Aniu handed the bag to Professor Wang, saying, "Professor Wang, you haven't had breakfast yet and you came here to help our village. We feel terrible about it. Here is some food, please eat it. Don't worry, it's still warm!"
Aniu handed the bag to Wang Zhiqiang. Wang Zhiqiang took a deep breath, his impatience becoming more pronounced, but he eventually accepted the bag and smiled, "Yes, yes, thank you very much."
"Oh, actually, I wasn't entirely sure if the source of the toxin was here, so I wanted to come and survey the area.
"If it turns out not to be here, then everyone wouldn't have made a wasted trip. I intended to confirm it before calling everyone. I didn't expect you all to find this place so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming looked at Chen Yang and laughed heartily, about to praise him.
Chen Yang, however, directly interrupted Qin Ming. He stepped forward and said, "This is all thanks to Li Gang's contribution. Young Master Li sensed something was wrong with the eight-immortal fish after just one bite of the fish head. Then we speculated that the mental illness might be related to the fish heads of the eight-immortal fish, which is why everyone came to this place."
Li Gang was somewhat surprised that Chen Yang was giving him the credit. He laughed proudly, "That's right! My palate is very discerning; what delicacies haven't I tasted? I only ate one eyeball from that eight-immortal fish and knew immediately something was wrong."
Everyone around them laughed.
Wang Zhiqiang heard this, his eyes swept over Li Gang, and a cold snort of resentment and impatience escaped him!
