Dr. Einstein frowned. The door to her lab had been violently forced open. Had these people become so disrespectful?
Dr. Einstein was about to ask the person who broke the door what they were doing and why they couldn't just knock when she saw that it was a grinning, carefree Ryn standing outside, along with a green-haired little girl whose face was ashen.
"Oh, it's you, Ryn. You're back just in time. I'm having trouble with some things in the design, I've hit a dead end..."
Ryn pulled Mobius and ducked into the lab, then pushed Dr. Einstein out.
"Dr. Einstein, we can talk about that later. First, help us out. We're technically trespassing illegally, so, you know the drill~"
"Uhh..."
A moment later, in front of Dr. Einstein's lab, a group of researchers in white coats surrounded Dr. Einstein, demanding to know what she had done to disturb everyone's experiments.
"Dr. Einstein, could you please explain what you did?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Dr. Einstein replied with a blank expression.
"Nothing? The commotion you made was anything but small! Do you have any idea how important our experiments are!"
"What's it to me? Oh, wait, I shouldn't say that. My apologies. I'm very sorry for disturbing your experiments."
Dr. Einstein rolled her eyes, gave a slight bow, and then turned to leave.
Although they were all fellow researchers, their relationships weren't actually very good. They were especially good at kicking someone when they were down. The moment Dr. Einstein fell from grace, they came to carve up her lab equipment. So Dr. Einstein didn't want to waste her breath on these people.
"Einstein! What is this attitude!"
"Do you know that your commotion caused a slight tremor in the lab! We have to recalibrate our equipment again!!"
Dr. Einstein tilted her head and glanced at them, then retrieved a pitch-black missile with a large red X on it from her lab and walked out.
Dr. Einstein: "I suggest you don't shout here. I've had a change of heart recently, so I tried developing some nuclear weapons for the higher-ups. The nuclear fission reaction is not stable right now. It just exploded a little. Does anyone want it to explode again?"
The moment they heard the words "nuclear weapons," the pupils of all the researchers present instantly constricted, and their expressions turned to panic.
Nuclear weapons, a concept proposed by Einstein and approved by the higher-ups for vigorous development, were weapons of immense power. Although no one knew why Einstein suddenly gave up halfway, no one present was an idiot. They all had a clear understanding of the principles behind nuclear weapons.
"Einstein, are you crazy?! You're researching nuclear weapons in here?! We're at the center of the world, in a university that gathers talent from all over the globe! Do you want to set the world back several hundred years?"
"Damn it, everyone get away from her! That thing has strong radiation! This woman isn't taking any radiation protection measures! Get away from her lab!"
"I can't take it anymore. Researching missiles is one thing, but why aren't you in a specialized area if there's radiation?"
The other researchers immediately started pushing and shoving each other to the other end of the hallway, looking at the miniature nuclear missile in Dr. Einstein's hands with a mixture of fear and disgust.
They couldn't stay in this damn experimental high school any longer. The researchers were already considering moving their labs and calling a psychiatrist to diagnose Dr. Einstein.
Dr. Einstein said she had a change of heart and was going to follow the higher-ups' policy to research weapons, but everyone thought she had lost her mind and was planning to take everyone down with her.
Finally, after all the researchers had left, muttering and cursing, Dr. Einstein let out a sigh of relief and casually tossed the "miniature nuclear missile" into a corner.
Then she looked inside her lab at Ryn, who was slurping down instant noodles, and Mobius, whose eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement as she looked around and touched everything.
These two, did she even know them? She probably did... So why, after her lab door was kicked down, did she have to help them provide cover?
Einstein wanted to say something, but in the end, she just shook her head and sighed.
"Sigh... problem solved."
"You handled it that quickly? As expected of Dr. Einstein! Want some instant noodles?"
Ryn held up his half-eaten cup of noodles, asking if Einstein wanted some.
"Please make me a new one. I'm not used to eating what others have eaten."
"I wasn't going to give you mine, just asking if you wanted some~"
Ryn crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it at Mobius, who was glued to the experimental equipment.
"Hey, kid, want a bowl?"
Mobius clutched her head and shot a fierce glare at Ryn for throwing trash at her, but her expression softened immediately upon hearing his question.
"Okay."
"Mhm~"
Ryn hummed a tune as he expertly rummaged through Dr. Einstein's little stash, found two cups of instant noodles, and prepared them for the girls.
Dr. Einstein watched Ryn's practiced movements, treating her lab as if it were his own home. Something felt off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Ryn, you seem very familiar with my lab?"
Ryn shook his head, handed a cup of noodles to Einstein, and then another to Mobius.
"Not really. It's mainly because I used to bully a certain moss head a lot, so I have experience with the labs of you crazy scientists."
"Moss head? A green-haired person can be a scientist?" Mobius's small eyes lit up, and she looked at Ryn with anticipation.
Because of her green hair, Mobius was called a monster at school every day, and her classmates even questioned her dream of becoming a scientist.
"Why not? Does being a scientist have anything to do with hair color?"
Ryn ruffled Mobius's hair, then continued to eat his noodles and began to use the facilities in Einstein's lab to conduct research on the creation of Cortana.
Einstein thought for a moment but couldn't recall any green-haired scientists. So who was this moss head?
Was it this little girl's mom? Judging by her reaction, probably not.
However, seeing Mobius's hopeful expression, Einstein also tried to encourage her.
"Although I've never heard of a scientist with green hair, you can be the first, little one!"
Being praised by such a famous scientist as Einstein, Mobius became a little shy and fidgety.
"Hehe, I can't guarantee I'll be the first, but I'll definitely become a scientist!"
