Xie Bisheng's arrival finally made the main seat that had been vacant for a long time occupied.
Everyone in 623 gave him a detailed work report one by one.
The scientific trio's report covered the two different forms of Lin Fan's mecha's evolution, along with the relevant data. They also reported on their progress in improving and developing their own humanoid mecha, inspired by the mecha.
Xia Jing still works tirelessly to do auxiliary work, showing everyone various data and pictures.
The medical trio summarized Lin Fan's physical changes, stable values, and hidden concerns.
Song Ren described the recent training plan and the improvement in Lin Fan's physical fitness.
Jin Sichen also talked about her psychological recovery, which was very encouraging overall.
Xie Bisheng listened carefully and took notes continuously.
"The progress is good. I thought we would have to wait longer." Xie Bisheng's usually serious face was covered with a smile.
He really thought that Lin Fan's transformation would have to wait until her condition recovered to a certain degree before any progress could be made. He didn't expect that so many discoveries could be made in just over a month.
Although there are still many unknowns, we are generally optimistic.
He first praised everyone's efforts, and then encouraged everyone to keep up the good work.
"The other performance features of the mecha will be revealed after Lin Fan can fully control it. Don't worry, the current progress is already very fast, you still have a lot of time." Xie Bisheng really felt that the progress was encouraging, so he didn't rush.
"As for the current issues... Regarding this consumption, continue to implement the current plan. Remember to ensure Lin Fan's health. Pay attention to the observation data and make adjustments at any time, ah..." Xie Bisheng assigned tasks to the medical team.
"Yes, we will be careful." Dr. Xiao spoke on behalf of the team.
"Regarding the internal structure of the mecha, there is a large X-ray machine at Pangu. We can take Lin Fan there to take some pictures and see what it looks like inside." Xie Bisheng glanced at his notebook and continued.
Not everyone can enter the Pangu Test Site. Xie Bisheng doesn't bring him in, and even Yu Guangli can't get in. Xia Jing doesn't count, as he's originally part of the project team.
"Today?" Li Chunhua asked in surprise.
"That depends on Lin Fan. Does her current physical condition allow for transformation?" Xie Bisheng asked, rubbing his hands.
He had been receiving written reports from Yu Guangli and felt that it had been almost ten days since his last transformation, and his physique was improving, so theoretically, he should be able to recover. However, upon seeing Lin Fan today, he felt a bit worried about her current condition and was no longer certain.
"If your speculation is correct, the mecha has been absorbing Lin Fan's energy, and there is no telling when it will stop. Then when is the right time to transform? Will things get worse as time goes on?" Xie Bisheng asked.
The buffer period between transformations is too long, and each transformation is filled with uncertainty. Delaying it for too long isn't necessarily a good thing.
Moreover, he was also more concerned about the internal state of the mecha. Was there a human inside, or had it become a completely steel-made being?
It was said that Lin Fan could now control the mecha after transforming and was in a stable state. He also wanted to see what level he could reach.
Plus, people on Pangu's side kept asking about the injured driver's condition...
So it’s better to go take photos early rather than late. If you can go early, go early!
In fact, 623's next transformation was originally scheduled to take place in these few days, so it wasn't too much of a stretch.
Doctor Xiao glanced at Song Ren and said, "Her current physique is much stronger than the last time she transformed. Putting aside the constant exhaustion, she shouldn't go into shock like last time after the transformation. But to be on the safe side, it's best for me to follow."
"Well, you must go with us. Song Ren, Li Chunhua, you must go too." Xie Bisheng nodded and looked at Jin Sichen on his left who was staring at him. He smiled and said, "Doctor Jin will naturally go too."
Although the others felt regretful, they all understood the rules. Not everyone could go to Pangu's place.
"I'll come too. It will be more convenient with more people." Xia Jing was already in the Pangu project team. He didn't need to thank Bi Sheng for bringing him along. He could go on his own.
Xie Bisheng nodded in agreement, arranged for the accompanying personnel, and ended the topic.
"Then, the only thing left is naming the mecha." Xie Bisheng looked at the items crossed out in his notebook and looked at everyone. "I heard that you are all ready. Come, tell us about it. Let's see what good names you have."
The atmosphere in the conference room changed instantly.
Zhang Zhaojie first excitedly said a few names composed of letters and numbers, and was criticized by the crowd who were well prepared.
He couldn't react for a moment.
Everyone seemed to like X0-818 last time, how come it changed so quickly now?
The confused Zhang Zhaojie was sent to the whiteboard to act as a recorder and help others write candidate words.
"How's the phoenix?" Yu Guangli asked excitedly. "It's an ancient mythical beast, majestic and powerful."
"It's domineering, yes, but doesn't the phoenix have colorful feathers? It doesn't look like Lin Fan's mecha." Zhang Zhaojie questioned while obediently writing the two words on the whiteboard.
"Besides, 'phoenix' is a collective name. The male is called 'feng' and the female is called 'huang'. This name... doesn't seem so appropriate." Xia Jing just felt it was tacky and found a cultural excuse.
Yu Guangli was at a loss. He didn't know much about this subject to begin with. Just being able to name a phoenix was already his limit.
Wu Yi and Doctor Xiao came up with a few names they liked, but they were all names of plants or medicines. They sounded nice, but they didn't seem to fit the mecha.
They both knew their chances were slim, so they just wanted to participate. They didn't mind being rejected, smiling and ready to listen to others.
"How about Bifang? It's also a legendary mythical beast." Ke Wenbin nominated with a little trepidation.
After Yu Guangli was rejected, he felt that his Bifang was not good enough, but he had already thought about it, and it would be a pity not to say it, so he might as well say it.
"Bifang is green and doesn't match white." Sure enough, Zhang Zhaojie jumped in to object again.
Ke Wenbin suspected that he was rejected, so he denied everything he heard as revenge.
"Bifang is a mount. I don't think this is a good idea." Wu Yi said with a frown.
"Where did you see it?" Ke Wenbin didn't see any explanation about this when he was looking up information.
"It's in the TV series, where the heroine rides Bifang everywhere." Wu Yi was referring to the recently popular Xianxia drama. Bifang does appear as a fairy's mount.
"Your one doesn't count, it's all fictional." Ke Wenbin knew the odds were slim, but he couldn't help but refute Wu Yi. He didn't want the mythical beast he had found to become just a mount.
"Han Feizi's Ten Mistakes" records: "In the past, the Yellow Emperor met with spirits and gods on Mount Tai, riding an elephant-shaped chariot and accompanied by six dragons, and Bifang was also in charge..." Jin Sichen added, "In this case, Bifang isn't even considered a mount."
Ke Wenbin was stunned. How could his Bifang be so much worse than the Phoenix? Finally accepting reality, he continued to listen to the others' speeches with a dejected look on his face.
"What about Nuwa?" Jin Sichen had already spoken, so he just said it directly.
He read through the Classic of Mountains and Seas and saw all kinds of monsters and demons, and finally felt that the name Nuwa was more suitable.
"She is the mother of mankind and the mother of the earth, an ancient wise king, the leader of the matriarchal clan and one of the three ancient emperors. She represents the origin. Isn't this similar to Lin Fan's mecha?" Jin Sichen pointed out the representative meaning of Nuwa.
Everyone thought about what he said carefully and felt that it made sense.
As a household goddess in mythology, Nuwa does have a very important position. More importantly, she and Pangu are one of the Three Emperors. If the name is confirmed, they are obviously from the same series.
Although there are many different opinions about the Three Emperors of Ancient Times, it is undoubted that Pangu and Nuwa are among the Three Emperors.
"But, calling her Nuwa is unlucky." Just when everyone thought Nuwa was quite appropriate, Kuang Li spoke up.
"Unlucky?" Jin Sichen's eyes widened. "What's unlucky about it?"
"Nuwa repaired the sky and died!" Kuang Li said word by word.
Only then did everyone remember this legend.
Jin Sichen almost wanted to cover his head.
How can you, a person who studies science every day, seriously talk about whether a name is auspicious or not?
It's a cross-border thing, right?
There are many legends about ancient mythological figures. If you believe that Nuwa created humans, then you must also believe that Nuwa repaired the sky.
Although Nuwa mending the sky is a great story praised by everyone, it cannot conceal the fact that the ending is tragic.
Jin Sichen died.
Although he felt that things were not good when he saw Xie Bisheng, he was very confident. However, in terms of name, no one was better than Nuwa.
"Then why don't you say something auspicious!" Jin Sichen challenged Kuang Li unconvincedly.
"The four great mythical beasts of ancient China: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise." Kuang Li offered his answer. "You can choose one."
"White Tiger? I feel like the pattern isn't big enough." Ke Wenbin shook his head and eliminated one.
"Xuanwu definitely won't work. It sounds bulky." Zhang Zhaojie also eliminated one.
"Suzaku...it doesn't seem like a particularly good match." Xia Jing also complained.
Although the mecha has a lot of red decorations after evolution, the overall color is still mostly white. And the word "sparrow" sounds rather stingy.
"The Azure Dragon isn't suitable either." Jin Sichen was blunt. "It's not just the wrong color, it's also so tough."
It sounds like a male name.
Everyone thinks it’s correct.
Xie Bisheng spoke at this time: "How about the Red Dragon?"
Well……
Everyone was stunned. It seemed better and suitable, but it just felt a bit tacky. What should they do?
Xie Bisheng's face cannot be easily offended. Everyone looked left and right. Who hasn't spoken yet?
Isn't there a better option?
Xia Jing couldn't stand it anymore. What the hell was this? Was he going to use it on her goddess?
"I'll tell you one!" He spoke with some effort, his voice slightly louder. "It's from 'Departing from Shiguan Pavilion at Night' by Xie Lingyun of the Southern Song Dynasty. There's a line: 'Birds return to rest their oars, the stars and the waves signal the march.' The two words 'stars and the waves' symbolize the end of the night."
Xinglan? It sounds pretty good, and the meaning is good too.
The group of people finally broke free from the birds and beasts and heard different words.
Jin Sichen also thought it was good. He looked at Lin Fan and asked, "What do you think? Do you have a favorite?"
Everyone looked at Lin Fan, and the final decision was still in Lin Fan's hands.
Lin Fan had heard a bunch of names and was about to let them do whatever they wanted. But when he heard the name Xia Jing mentioned at the end, something in his mind unconsciously came to mind.
"Do you remember the poem about Chang'e flying to the moon?" Lin Fan asked everyone present.
This... who can remember it right away?
"Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, as her heart is filled with the blue sea and sky every night." Xia Jing has been studying ancient poetry recently and vaguely remembers this sentence.
"Yes, the first stanza of this poem." Seeing no one remembered it, Lin Fan said it himself. "The candlelight shines deep behind the mica screen, the long river gradually falls, the morning stars sink."
This poem was written when she was a child. She heard the story of Chang'e flying to the moon and thought it was so beautiful that she took the time to memorize it. Otherwise, she would not have remembered it so clearly after so many years.
"Which word do you want to use?" Everyone couldn't immediately understand what Lin Fan meant.
"The stars are sinking." Lin Fan also thought of this poem when he heard Xia Jing's "Stars are surging".
As we ponder these two words over and over again, we can truly sense the vastness of the universe, its boundless expanse and ethereal beauty. The stars scatter, slowly sinking into the dawn's light.
"...Wait a minute, I just checked. The 'chen' here means sink, right?" Xia Jing was also influenced by Kuang Li and was struggling with whether it was auspicious or not.
"Yes, so I want to change a word. Change the "chen" in "sink" to "chen" in "sun, moon and stars." Lin Fan smiled slightly.
"Xingchen, what do you think?"
Oh, this name, when it was 1,500 words, it was called Red Dragon. Hahaha, although it is very earthy, but I can't think of a better name. As a result, when I was writing the dialogue between a few people below, I went to the Internet to search for materials, and found that poem. I felt that Xinglan was very nice, but I didn't want to give up Red Dragon. After all, it had already appeared when I was thinking about the outline. Earth returns to earth, it has emotion. Then I suddenly found that there are stars in my book title. Oh, the title of the book was also picked by me casually, I am such a little genius. Hahaha. So the name of the mecha became like this, are you satisfied? Vote to tell me
