Chapter 0004 First Objective

I knew you would be interested in this topic

"Dog meat?" Anji was indeed intrigued, "Are you referring to the bionic robotic dog recently developed by Columbia University for the military? I have seen their test videos, they are truly amazing! Just like a real dog"

The prayer before the meal was led by Rachel, giving thanks to God for the food. Zhou Qingfeng could only silently complain on the side: I am not sure if the food is a gift from God, but I am certain that an impending catastrophe is indeed a gift from God

"You can't be seriously thinking of stealing that dog, can you? You are one of my few friends, and I certainly don't want you to end up in prison. The news has been filled with all sorts of rampant violent crimes lately, which I find very distasteful," Angela asked.

"David, you are not allowed to say these things during dinner." Rachel Connor frowned

"Oh, this difficulty is quite significant," Anji said with a hearty laugh. Although her words were negative, her expression clearly indicated that she was very interested, eagerly waiting for Zhou Qingfeng to present the specific plan.

Yes, it's that robotic dog. I want to get my hands on it and I would like to collaborate with you. Zhou Qingfeng stated his intention directly, "I know you have been wanting to acquire some smart components and advanced batteries used by the military. I have a way to help you.

The police and military personnel will directly disappear in three days, leaving Zhou Qingfeng to face only the security personnel hired by the laboratory, and the number of these personnel will not be very large.

According to the film's setting, classmate Angelina Lawrence is a genius with an IQ of 160. In addition to having hobbies similar to those of ordinary girls, her greatest interest is tinkering with smart electronic devices. It is said that the ET at her home has been reprogrammed by her, resulting in a 20% increase in its intelligence level

"Since you are so confident, why don't we have a competition?" Looking at the 3D model of 'dog meat' on Anji's computer screen, Zhou Qingfeng took several deep breaths. He then turned to Tony Parker and said, "Let's see who can succeed!"

Can you help me find out where that robotic dog is?" Zhou Qingfeng asked

"You don't need to worry about this; I can handle the security system," Zhou Qingfeng said with a cold expression. The security forces he had to face were mainly composed of three parts: one part was the campus police of Columbia University, another part was the military guards stationed at the laboratory, and the last part was the security personnel hired by the laboratory itself.

David Lawrence seems to be full of grievances, and his words have made the atmosphere of the dinner a bit more tense

Alas ... ! ... American girls are just so self-centered. ! They get upset over such trivial matters, to the point of refusing to eat.

Tony Parker then looked at Zhou Qingfeng again and said with a tone of mockery: "Hi, my friend, do you also want to deal with that robotic dog? How do you plan to break through the multiple layers of security? Believe me, the moment you set foot in that laboratory, you will be caught immediately. Only I can succeed."

For American youth who view marijuana use as a recreational activity, stealing something is truly not considered a significant matter. Once Anji was certain that Zhou Qingfeng would not act recklessly, she immediately clicked a few times on the virtual screen of her computer.

Can you provide the specific location and internal structure diagram of the Babylon Intelligent Laboratory?" Zhou Qingfeng continued to inquire

At the Babylon Intelligence Laboratory of Columbia University, Angie lightly tapped her fingers on the desktop, and a virtual screen rose from the surface. She entered a string of characters on the light screen keyboard for retrieval, and soon the desired information appeared on the screen.

Tony Parker's facial expressions are quite expressive, and his playful gestures easily amuse girls. However, this time, Angie awkwardly said, "Uh... Victor also wants me to help him. You two..."

Think about it, having navigated through numerous challenges, avoided various dangers, and then obtained a pet that is the only one of its kind in the world, doesn't that seem really cool to you

Referred to as a 'secret base', it is essentially a cozy nook that a young girl has created for herself. David Lawrence did his utmost to build a small loft for his daughter in the garage, and Angie transformed this space into her private domain, forbidding anyone from entering without an invitation

Zhou Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders, thinking to himself: With my current little arms and legs, who can I possibly use violence against? I can only resort to cunning and quietly sneak in to take advantage. As for when I manage to steal that dog, the whole of New York will be in chaos, and surely no one will want to ask me to return it.

Cortoni Parker burst into mocking laughter, saying, "You must be joking, that is impossible! That place prohibits any outsiders from entering, especially someone with your Asian features. Just last week, military security personnel caught an Asian spy attempting to infiltrate the laboratory to steal information. They would never allow you to get close."

Tony Parker, aged 19, stands at a height of 1.75 meters and is quite the clever one. It is said that he is the son of David Lawrence's comrade, playing the roles of comic relief, troublemaker, and facilitator after the great catastrophe. He is a suitor of Angelina Lawrence, and it seems that the two eventually became lovers

The main dish for the Lawrence family tonight is pasta, with the main courses being pan-seared fish fillet and stewed chicken, accompanied by creamy soup and vegetable salad. For this average-income family of three, it is quite a sumptuous meal, likely prepared especially to entertain Zhou Qingfeng.

Two months ago, I visited the Babylon Smart Lab and even met the team that developed that robotic dog. Although I regrettably did not see the dog, I did see the biological brain that was equipped for it. "Angie proudly displayed a few photos and whispered, 'These are the ones I secretly took at that time.'"

Damn it, which little follower is this? Zhou Qingfeng quickly spotted a young American with a hippie appearance, sporting fluorescent-colored hair, wearing earrings, dressed in ripped clothing, pursuing fashion, and expressing himself with a bouncy gait.

New York is becoming increasingly unstable, the situation in Brooklyn is dire, and Queens is also affected. Illegal immigrants are continuously impacting our society, and public safety is deteriorating. I genuinely want to help those in distress, but I am unable to do so

Zhou Qingfeng secretly vowed: I must obtain that dog

"Alright, let's go to the garage base in the backyard," Angie said, waving her hand and leading Zhou Qingfeng to her secret base

Anji put down her knife and fork and said, "I am full," before jogging back to her room. Zhou Qingfeng quickly called out to her, saying, "Anji, wait a moment. I have something I would like to ask you to help with."

To pursue a girl, one must have lofty aspirations. If Zhou Qingfeng were to say he wanted to steal a bottle of yogurt from the supermarket, he would undoubtedly be looked down upon. However, if he were to claim he wanted to steal a robotic dog from a highly secure military laboratory, regardless of the feasibility of the endeavor, she would find it incredibly cool

I assure you that I will not resort to violence; at most, it could be considered theft. At worst, I will wait until I steal that dog and then return it.

In the secret base, there is a carpet laid out, covered with a large pile of plush toys, a set of small tables and chairs, and a table full of electronic devices, with a small refrigerator in the corner. Anji took out two cans of drinks from the refrigerator and tossed one to Zhou Qingfeng, then sat down on the carpet, frowning as she said: "I don't like it when Dad talks about his work during dinner every day; it feels like all the news is bad."

After receiving permission, Tony Parker climbed up to the garage attic and greeted Zhou Qingfeng, saying: "Hi, Victor, how are you? What are you talking about? Oh... it seems like you are discussing 'dog meat'; I just happened to come here for this robotic dog."

Zhou Qingfeng despises guys who look like little hoodlums. Especially now, seeing him act so cynical and smirking, Zhou feels that this guy is really asking for a beating

Zhou Qingfeng, however, knew that the origin of the riots in New York during the great catastrophe was those homeless and poorly paid illegal immigrants. When constraints were lost, over one million illegal immigrants surged from the Brooklyn area of New York to Manhattan, turning the finest commercial center of America into a hell on earth

However, in the movie, this guy is famously known as a troublemaker and a lucky one. Every time he creates trouble, it is as if the sky is falling, and each time it is David Lawrence who comes to clean up his mess. He emerges unscathed, as if he is a petty person who has achieved success, and in the end, he also wins the affection of a beautiful woman

The Babylon Intelligent Laboratory is located within the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University. The intelligent robotic dog they are researching was initially a project conducted in collaboration with NASA. In the later stages of development, the U.S. military also expressed great interest and joined the project.

I can point out the approximate location of this laboratory to you, and I can even guide you on how to solve the electronic door lock and activate that robotic dog, but when it comes to dealing with the laboratory's security system, you'll have to rely on yourself. "Anji looked at Zhou Qingfeng with bright eyes, eagerly anticipating that he could create a miracle

"I’m sorry, dear. I won’t say anything more," David Lawrence replied with a smile

During the meal, David Lawrence casually discussed some recent issues in American society with Zhou Qingfeng. As an insurance broker, he frequently encounters instances of bankruptcy caused by economic problems.

At that moment, a voice called out from outside the garage, "Angie, may I come in?"

A sleek and bright laboratory is displayed on the virtual screen, where several robotic arms are manipulating an artificially created dog brain—this is the control center of 'dog meat'

Tony Parker essentially ignored Zhou Qingfeng's presence, laughing as he walked over to sit in front of Angie and said: "I left a message for your 'ET' not long ago, hoping you could help me create a decryption program. I just happened to have the opportunity to get that robotic dog.

Zhou Qingfeng opened the drink without any surprise and took a sip, saying: "Let us talk about something interesting. Do you know 'dog meat'?"
