A person's energy is often limited.

After aiming at one place, the original efficiency of 120% will indeed be achieved, but other places will be a blind spot.

A normal businessman would think of splitting up, which can both reduce costs and improve economic efficiency. But Dr. Shigemura, a mind that surpasses 99% of human beings, would ignore the past... and even the stars were almost thrown into the ditch.

inside.

Sure enough, invisible and qualityless halo attacks like this are the most terrifying.

Fortunately, fortunately.

“How low can the cost of independent [augmented reality (AR)] equipment be reduced?”

"Um... Well, in terms of hardware, this is roughly equivalent to a low-end version of a virtual reality device, which is similar to the mobile terminals (that is, smartphones) currently on the market... maybe?"

As a research madman who has been in the laboratory for a long time and has not had good contact with society for several years, Dr. Shigemura is really not sure about the market price of a product.

In the past, when valuing products, he would do so based on a list of purchased raw materials.

In terms of commercialization of virtual reality equipment, we cannot count on him at all.

"Oh... forget it, you'd better make a prototype of the physical product first."

If you make a physical product, pricing will be much simpler.

"No way!"

But unexpectedly, this small task triggered a backlash from Dr. Shigemura:

"What a waste of time it is to waste my precious time with such a simple task! Even if you are the big boss who hired me!"

It is precisely because this task is too simple that Dr. Shigemura cannot take it on.

"Oh? You said you were fat and you still breathed, right?

Besides, it was you who packaged this product that was supposed to exist independently to somewhere else, right?

Wouldn’t it be better to take responsibility and spin it off now?”

A person like Hoshikatsu, who has so much time, will not understand the inner feelings of a person like Dr. Shigemura, whose life span is about to end.

"It doesn't work anyway. I still have to think about how to increase the stealth depth of the virtual reality device and reach the land of [Alkaid]!"

"..."

Looking at Dr. Shigemura, who was so young yet so passionate, he once again began to wonder, is it not good for him to be so young and strong?

But Dr. Shigemura misunderstood what he meant and thought that Hoshiki was angry because of his [disobedience].

So he came up with a quick wit:

"...Oh, that's right! Let's see. Boss, do you still remember that child?"

"……who?"

What kind of child is not a child?

Are there children in this underground research institute? Whose? Created by Rinko Kamishiro and Akihiko Kayaba...

"That's the kid who came to our door with your ID card a year ago and offered to join our institute.

She's obviously a girl, but she insists on saying she's a boy, isn't it strange?"

After listening to what Dr. Shigemura said, the four people around him suddenly understood.

"Teacher, I am really a boy. Didn't I tell you before..."

Kamishiro Rinko corrected herself in time with some embarrassment.

Because when the child first arrived here, Dr. Shigemura specifically entrusted her to take care of her. And the reason why he found her was because he misunderstood that she was a girl...

What happened at that time is simply difficult to describe.”

No, no, no, please tell me even if it's hard to explain in a few words. I really want to know.

"Ah?! Is that so? I thought it was because you didn't want to take the students back... Ahem, in short, because it was your personal recommendation, the boss, I paid attention and wanted to have someone take him with me."

Dr. Shigemura really doesn't pay attention to these things. He only sees experimental products and experimental equipment.

But now he can't even distinguish between men and women, which really makes him feel that the outside world is developing very strangely...

"At first, I asked him to follow Higa. After all, we are very close in age..."

Then Higa smiled and answered:

"Yes, yes, when that cute boy came to my place, the singles there were very welcoming... Well, forget it, let's not talk about it."

Tell me what happened! I'm very curious! (Chitanda face)

"Anyway, during his actual work here, I found that he is very good at programming. I am not suitable for him, but Kayaba-senpai is more suitable for him, so I told the teacher and handed him over to

…”

Higa Takeru looked in the direction of Kayaba Akihiko, and Kayaba recalled expressionlessly:

"However, I was planning to change jobs at the time, and I didn't want to bring a student with a strong hacking talent."

You are honest, Xing Mo is powerless to complain.

"Look, he is considered a privileged person here, right?

Finally, I saw that he had just graduated from school and was not willing to be exposed to human experiments, so I found some programming experts for him and formed an independent experimental group in the research institute.

An independent group dedicated to solving programming problems for other projects and maintaining the institute's network work also allocated him some funds and equipment to conduct independent research."

Although Dr. Shigemura sounded like he was cultivating excellent seeds, Xing Ke always felt that he was just trying to throw the blame away.

"A very talented sister-in-law... Man, what he lacks is just academic qualifications and some experience. With the guidance of the seniors I assigned him, he will definitely be able to complete the spin-off of [Augmented Reality (AR)] independently now.

Work.

When I uploaded the drawings of [NeuralLink Device], he specifically asked me if I could study the finished product for him.

Moreover, as a young man, it should be more suitable for him than me to transplant the functions of existing mobile terminals to [augmented reality (AR)] devices, right?"

See, you just want to take the blame, right?

"Is there any difficulty in porting the functions of existing mobile terminals to [augmented reality (AR)] devices?"

"Not at all, but with my interface design style, you might..."

"Okay, I understand. Just do as you say."

It’s all said and done, and Xing Ke doesn’t force it.

"Also, one last thing to confirm, what is the name of that child you always talk about?"

Although it is completely certain, the star carving still needs to be confirmed just in case.

"Um... well... I remember it was a particularly masculine name..."

"Teacher, I told you that the child was originally a boy..."

"Akasaka, Akasaka! After all, you are half a student."
