"Is there going to be another war..." Ma Liu paused when he heard this, and said softly with a slightly dark expression.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this vortex of right and wrong again." Ito Cheng, who held Ma Liu tightly in his arms with strength, kissed Ma Liu's forehead gently and apologized.

Maru didn't speak, but just hugged Ito Cheng's waist with her arms, shrank her body in his arms, and quietly enjoyed the warmth and breath of Ito Cheng's body.

"When are we leaving?" After a moment, Maru asked in a low voice with his head resting on Ito Cheng's chest.

"It all depends on your wishes. Whenever you are similar, that's the time." He placed his chin lightly on the top of Ma Liu's head and said while smelling the faint fragrance of Ma Liu's hair.

"You are kidding again. There is no way that things like war can be carried out according to my wishes." After hearing Ito Cheng's irresponsible statement, Maru turned over and patted Ito Cheng on the back. He said angrily with a soft "pop" sound.

"Nothing is impossible. You must know that your position in my heart is much more important than unifying the world." Ito Cheng gently rubbed Maru's back with both hands and chuckled.

After hearing what Ito Cheng said, Maru suddenly felt moved. At the same time, her hands around his waist tightened unconsciously, as if she wanted to blend herself into Ito Cheng's body and stay close to him. Hug each other.

"Okay, let me go. I'm going to get the crew on standby on the Archangel, waiting for your instructions." After another moment of tenderness, Malu slightly loosened his arms around Ito Cheng's waist. He looked up at Ito Cheng and said.

"Yes." Ito Cheng lowered his head and looked at Maru, and responded lightly. Then he let go of his hands. Let Malu sit upright in his arms.

After sitting up straight again, Malu sorted out some of her messy clothes, then stood up from the sofa, skipped the armrest of the sofa and went straight back to the back bedroom. Take out an object from the bedside table that is exactly the same as a small black ball in shape, appearance, and color. Hold it in your hand, and quickly press the surface of the object with your right index finger.

A few seconds later, as Malu's pressing fingers stopped, the surface of the object suddenly looked like an unfolding Thousand Machine Locks. A large number of blocks of different lengths and shapes extend outward, exposing a small, slightly flashing red ball in the center of the object.

"Huh..." Looking at the items in his hands, Ma Liu let out a long breath. Then, with a certain look, he placed his right index finger on the surface of the small ball and pressed it hard.

Afterwards, Ma Liu withdrew her fingers and put the unfolded small ball on the table aside. She turned around and walked to the closet on the side. She started to open the closet and put the white Earth United Army set inside that she had carefully stacked and put away. Obey was taken out of the closet.

After quietly looking at the clothes in his hands for a moment. He turned back to the bed again and put it on the bed. He started to unbutton the light blue shirt he was wearing one by one and changed his clothes.

…

"I haven't seen this set of clothes for a long time." A moment later, Ma Liu had just changed his clothes. When he was about to leave the bedroom and return to the living room, Ito Cheng came into the room at some point and was looking at himself with admiring eyes and said.

"But I have to say, she looks really beautiful on you, Maru." Ito Cheng stretched out his right hand and gave a thumbs up to Maru in praise.

Although Maru was happy when she heard the compliment, she still rolled her eyes at Ito Cheng.

"Are you going to come with me, or what?" Maru, who folded the clothes he had changed and put them away, looked at Ito and asked.

"I have some other things to arrange, so I won't go with you." Hearing this, Ito Cheng shook his head slightly and said.

"Okay. I'll go over there first. After all, there are still a lot of things to deal with." Ma Liu nodded after getting the answer.

"Sorry to trouble you." Ito Cheng stepped forward and hugged Maru, who was wearing a joint military uniform. Then, before waiting for Maru to react, he lowered his head and kissed Maru's delicate lips.

After a while, the two separated again, and then took a few breaths to calm down again. Malu and Ito Cheng walked out of the bedroom and came to a door in a strange position, and opened it under the watchful eyes of Ito Cheng. The door stepped through the strange barrier in the door frame that looked like glass syrup with countless dyes added, and disappeared from the room.

Seeing Maru leave, Ito Cheng didn't stay in the room for long. He directly used the power of the Rubik's Cube to teleport himself into the large laboratory and found Nina who was studying something with alchemy.

Ito Cheng didn't bother him when he saw this. He stood quietly behind Nina and watched her tinkering there quietly.

At this moment, an electric sound was heard, and an irregular crystal emitting light yellow light appeared in the circular formation formed in front of Nina.

"Finally made it." Nina took out the light yellow crystal from the circular array and held it in her hand and said to herself happily.

"What was produced?" Ito Cheng asked after seeing Nina finishing the refining.

"Yeah!" Nina was immediately startled when she suddenly heard the sound. She threw the light yellow crystal away from her hand, stood up from the ground with a look of horror, and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

"Nina, you are still so timid." Seeing Nina being frightened, Ito Cheng used telekinesis to fix the crystal flipping in mid-air, and looked at Nina and said with a smile.

"I, Ito Cheng." Nina, who saw who it was clearly, greeted with some lingering fear.

"What is this?" Ito Cheng, who controlled the power of telekinesis to bring the crystal in front of him, asked curiously.

"I don't know." When Nina saw Ito Cheng asking about her research results, she immediately threw away her previous fright and shook her head.

"You don't know?" Ito Cheng looked at Nina in surprise and said.

"Well, this is a product I made by decomposing and mixing two pieces of radioactive substances. I don't know the specific ingredients, molecular structure, and its effects, so I don't know." Nina looked at being caught by Ito Cheng He explained the light yellow crystal in his hand and placed it in front of his eyes.

"Oh? That means this is a new substance, right?" Ito Cheng asked with interest.

"Perhaps, all this can't be confirmed until after the test." Nina reached out and gently pushed the glasses on her face.

"Oh." Ito Cheng nodded and controlled the telekinesis power to send the light yellow crystal to Nina.

"What do you find me for?". Nina reached out to grab the crystal and put it into the pocket of the white coat she was wearing. Nina looked at Ito and asked.

"Well. That's it. I plan to make three more ones on top of the original sample for later use. However, because I don't know when they will be used, the time will be tight, so you may need to temporarily Please take a break from the research just now and help me supervise the manufacturing." Masa Ito explained when Nina asked.

"Oh. I understand." Nina nodded and said, then looked at Ito Cheng with a somewhat uneasy expression and asked, "That is my research product. Can I watch it while it is being used?".

"Of course." Naturally, Ito Cheng would not object to this request and agreed with a smile on his face. Then he looked at Nina helplessly and said, "But Nina, am I that scary? I make you nervous even making a request."

"That... that..." Nina, who was asked by Ito Cheng, really didn't know how to answer, so she had to stand there nonchalantly, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.

Ito Cheng sighed softly when he saw this, and then walked slowly towards Nina. Nina's body tensed instinctively after she noticed Ito Cheng walking towards her. At the same time, his right foot subconsciously took a step back, looking nervously at Ito Cheng, who was gradually approaching.

But maybe because I was too nervous, I accidentally hit my right foot when I stepped back with my left foot, which made my footing unstable and I fell backwards.

"Ah!" during the fall. Nina screamed loudly while waving her arms wildly.

Ito Cheng didn't hesitate when he saw this. He immediately activated teleportation and appeared in front of Nina. He held her in his arms before she fell completely to the ground. He hugged Nina and stood up again on the ground.

"Nina, we were classmates once, but now you are a scientist that I value. I will not hurt you no matter what, so you don't have to be as nervous and scared as before." He held Nina in his arms and placed his right hand in his arms. Ito Cheng, who gently rubbed his back to express comfort, said softly, "And if you have any thoughts or requests, you can tell me directly. As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you."

With her arms pressed against Ito Cheng's chest, her whole body muscles tensed, and her eyes closed, Nina, who was lying in Ito Cheng's arms, didn't say a word. She just endured Ito Cheng's hug and comfort like an ostrich.

Fortunately, after a short period of adaptation, or feeling the kindness conveyed by Ito Cheng, Nina's tight muscles finally slowly relaxed, but of course they were not completely relaxed. After all, Nina is a girl. If she is in It was strange to be able to completely relax in the arms of a man who was not her close lover.

"Really?" After another moment, Nina opened her eyes and asked softly.

"Well, it's true." Ito Cheng confirmed.

"Then can you let me go?" Nina continued to whisper after receiving confirmation.

"Of course." Hearing this, Ito Cheng immediately put away his hands, stepped back and looked at Nina and smiled.

"I'll go back first. I've written down what you just said. I'll help you supervise the construction completed by the manufacturing department." Nina, who saw her own freedom, said quickly, and then without waiting for Ito Cheng's reaction, she directly raised her hands Holding his chest and lowering his head, he ran past Ito Cheng and disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Tsk, Nina's character is really...it seems like I will bring Mireille to see her next time. And I remember that before Nina fell in love with Yuffie, she seemed to have a crush on Mireille." Ito Cheng, who had been watching Nina disappear, thought to himself with a chuckle on his face.

Then he changed his mind and sent himself to the experiment where Lloyd, Cecil, and Lakshatta's subordinates were.

"Royd, Cecil." Ito greeted the pair as they appeared in the laboratory.

"My lord." Cecil shouted respectfully after hearing the greeting and turning to look at Ito Cheng.

"I've met you, sir." Lloyd also greeted Ito Cheng in a rare way.

"Yes." Ito Cheng nodded to the two of them, accepting the polite greeting, and then walked slowly to the two of them. While looking at the experiments being carried out behind the glass window, he asked the two of them, "Lloyd , if we ask you to make a brand new one, how long will it take?"

"New manufacturing? Judging from our current technological strength and equipment situation, it will take about five days to manufacture a new one from scratch. If we also include post-production debugging, it may take seven days." Lloyd frowned He replied with a slight frown.

"Seven days... Then how long will it take to transform an old aircraft to this extent? It doesn't have to be completely transformed. It can only be equipped with energy-solidifying wings and radiation wave weapons." Ito heard Lloyd's answer. Cheng asked again.

"In that case, it's very simple. Including the time for manufacturing spare parts, it only takes two to three days." Lloyd replied.

Hearing this, Ito Cheng nodded slightly, and then with a thought, he summoned Veretta to the large laboratory.

After her vision adjusted, Veretta nodded to Ito Cheng and stood aside silently, watching him, Lloyd and Cecil discuss.

"You will create a new machine based on Veretta's body data according to the standard. As for the specific details, the three of you will discuss it." Ito Cheng raised his hand and pointed at Veretta beside him and said to Lloyd and Sisi Er said.

"Okay." Lloyd nodded and agreed.

"Also, Lloyd, do you know about the situation of the Knights of the Round Table in Britannia?" Ito Cheng asked Lloyd again after finishing his business.

"I know a little bit, but not much, so what?" Lloyd raised his hand and pushed the glasses on his face gently, looking at Ito Cheng with a puzzled look on his face and asked.

"Then do you know the condition of their current machines? What I mean is, what generation does the technology of the machines they fly belong to?" Ito Cheng asked again.

This is his main problem. After all, he has already known about the Knights of the Round Table in Britannia from the animation, but the physical condition has changed because he took away Lloyd. Now those He had no way of knowing which generation the machine piloted by the knights was, so he could only ask Lloyd, who was fairly familiar with the Knights of the Round Table.

"Before I was deceived by you, the machines of the Knights of the Round Table were cutting-edge machines of the sixth generation, half a step into the seventh generation. Later, with the help of my data, there was no problem in transforming the machines into the seventh generation. As for After I was deceived by you, I don't know if other departments have developed new things to improve the body's performance, but I don't think it will go beyond the eighth generation." Lloyd lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he speculated. (To be continued.)
