After experimenting with all the Mine Layer's devices, Andy was very satisfied with its effectiveness.
At the same time, he developed a strong interest in another type of Mine Layer.
However, Andy did not immediately proceed with the experiment; instead, he carefully reviewed all the Mine Layer's instructions.
This Tactical Grenade Mine Layer was more specifically designed for opponents than the Landmine Mine Layer.
Its four devices all enhanced the user's ability to interfere with enemies.
This gave the user more time to focus on delivering firepower to the enemy.
Removing the Mine Layer's outer armor, Andy began to equip the Tactical Grenade Mine Layer's outer armor.
After a detailed understanding, Andy had a certain mental preparation for the Tactical Grenade Mine Layer.
As the Tactical Grenade Mine Layer's outer armor contracted and fit, Andy could officially use this Mine Layer.
Taking out a blue spherical device, Andy injected energy into it.
The moment it was thrown to the ground, the blue spherical device deployed a force field.
This spherical device was called a Launch Panel; as the name suggested, the force field it created could launch people or objects.
Because he was mentally prepared, Andy strode into the force field.
Just as Andy had settled, an upward force spontaneously generated, pushing Andy upwards and making him jump into the air.
As Andy descended, that force generated again. Andy stood on the ground as if playing on a trampoline, constantly leaping high.
This situation continued four times. When Andy was launched into the air for the fourth time, the Launch Panel completely disappeared, its energy depleted.
After Andy landed, the Mine Layer automatically retrieved the spherical device.
The Launch Panel felt very good to Andy; he could even use it to perform a Spin Leap.
This would allow him to jump higher or further, enabling him to quickly escape an opponent's encirclement.
Taking out another spherical device, this one was called a Blast Trap.
Andy threw it far towards a metal target, and the Blast Trap quickly deployed within the metal target.
A violent explosion erupted from it, shattering the metal target.
Andy looked at the Blast Trap with surprise; he was not surprised by the explosion.
But he never expected that the Blast Trap's explosion would be a self-destructive one.
In the previous explosion, the Blast Trap instantly released the energy Andy had injected, detonating itself to create a powerful explosion.
Glancing at the several Blast Traps he still carried, Andy finally understood why this Mine Layer was called a Tactical Grenade Mine Layer.
Because many of its components, like grenades, were single-use devices, meant to be picked up and used as needed.
Just like the Concussion Grenade Andy held in his hand, they were all single-use devices.
Andy pressed the Concussion Grenade's activation device and threw it towards the target fragments. With a loud buzzing sound...
The already chaotic target range, shattered by the explosion, now became even more of a mess.
Many targets that looked relatively intact were severely damaged and cracked by the Concussion Grenade's shockwave.
And that buzzing sound was similar to a flashbang.
It temporarily deafened people with its loud noise, indirectly weakening the opponent's combat ability.
The Concussion Grenade's effect was exactly as recorded: it could not only shatter some armor but also temporarily deafen the opponent.
There was just one drawback: for such single-use devices, maintaining combat capability required large-scale manufacturing.
And the Mine Layer's carrying capacity also had to be considered, ensuring that enough devices could be carried without affecting one's own movement.
Thinking of this, Andy finally understood why the Tactical Grenade Mine Layer was eliminated.
Compared to the Landmine Mine Layer, this Tactical Grenade Mine Layer was equally powerful.
However, its consumption became a major drawback, unable to sustain the Engineering Commander's long-term combat.
Andy glanced at the last red spherical device but did not experiment with it.
Because this device was somewhat special, ordinary methods could not test its effectiveness.
This device was called a Laser Tripwire, and its ability was simple: it had only one function.
That was to trip all enemies who passed through it, giving the user some time to escape.
Although it used lasers as tripwires, its function was so singularly basic that Andy had no interest in experimenting with it.
Removing the Mine Layer's outer armor, Andy concluded this experiment.
Having a certain understanding of these devices, Andy had more options for his actions.
He could combine different warframes with these devices to unleash even greater power.
After exiting the Holy Sword, accompanied by the mechanical sounds of Audis constantly manipulating the robotic arm to transport these pieces of equipment, Andy slowly left the testing ground.
He was very satisfied with the effectiveness of these devices, even though he knew that the devices on a genuine Engineering Commander were much stronger than what he had just seen.
But Andy did not feel disappointed; after all, these things belonged to the Engineering Commander, and the Engineering Commander would certainly have some hidden special technologies in its core technology.
Since these ordinary devices already possessed such powerful capabilities, one could imagine what kind of powerful abilities would be found in the devices independently manufactured by the Engineering Commander.
Andy was lost in admiration for the Engineering Commander, but Norman's visit quickly brought Andy back to reality.
Norman did not enter directly from the balcony via a flying vehicle; instead, he followed the normal procedure to visit Andy.
He did not come alone; beside him were two children: Harry and Peter.
Compared to Harry, who had visited many times, Peter was entering here for the first time.
The decoration of the Orokin Technology Building deeply shocked him. The fusion of white and gold made the entire building opulent, looking very much like a giant palace.
"Harry, I didn't quite believe you when you told me before, but now I do. The Orokin Technology Building really does look like a palace."
Previously, Harry had vividly described the magnificent scene of the Orokin Technology Building to Peter.
He had always thought it was Harry's exaggeration, but now he realized that Harry had not exaggerated his description.
On the contrary, he felt that Harry had tried his best to portray the Orokin Technology Building as ordinary, because the interior of the Orokin Technology Building was truly astonishing.
When Andy was notified of Norman's arrival, he left the laboratory to greet him.
As soon as he reached the reception room, he saw Harry and Peter whispering about something.
"What are you two talking about?"
Quietly walking behind them, Andy bent down with a smile and asked.
Harry and Peter were startled by the sudden voice next to their ears. They turned their heads and saw Andy's smiling face.
"Phew~ Uncle Andy, you scared us!"
Harry patted his chest and exhaled, saying.
He was discussing with Peter which products in the Orokin Technology display seemed more practical.
And while Peter seemed a bit nervous, he was more curious about Orokin Technology.
This was his first time at Orokin Technology; Harry had invited him, and he was full of curiosity about the place.
"Hello, Mr. Andy!"
After hearing Peter's words, Andy smiled slightly as a greeting.
Andy looked at Norman, wanting to know what Norman's business was, as Norman usually wouldn't visit so casually.
Even if Harry and Peter were touring Orokin Technology, he wouldn't need to personally bring them.
He had someone take the two children on a tour of the Orokin Technology Building, while Andy waited for Norman to speak.
After seeing Harry and Peter completely leave, Norman took out a report.
"This is the latest research achievement published by Byron Mitchell Biotechnology Company."
Hearing it was Byron Mitchell Biotechnology Company, Andy didn't look at the report but instead looked at Norman with a strange expression.
"If I remember correctly, this company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Publishing research results now, he doesn't have any good way to reverse the decline, does he?"
Andy certainly knew about this company.
After all, there were only so many companies in New York, and even fewer whose owners were scientists.
Not to mention a guy who was both a scientist and a businessman, who could run a company so poorly that it left a deep impression on Andy's mind.
Norman shook his head and said, "The research result Byron published is a special plant called blood orchid.
I found that the molecular structure of this plant is the same as the special substance in the Bragi scales.
Those two giant pythons in Los Angeles very likely came from the blood orchid's origin, Borneo."
Although Norman was no longer threatened by his family's genetic disease, he still wanted to find out if this blood orchid was of the same origin as Bragi.
If it was, he could use the blood orchid for in-depth research.
Although Byron was not a qualified businessman, he was a qualified scientist.
Their understanding of the blood orchid was the same: the blood orchid contained a special substance capable of extending cell life.
This substance could enable cells to surpass the Hayflick limit, and if researched properly, it could extend human lifespan.
Although this substance also remained in Bragi's remains, those remains were not a renewable resource and could not be used for large-scale research and production.
But the blood orchid was different; it was a plant. As long as the corresponding cultivation technology was mastered, a continuous supply of blood orchids could be secured.
Hearing Norman's explanation, Andy lowered his head and began to examine the information in front of him.
The information detailed the effects of the blood orchid. Its miraculous ability to extend cell life and surpass the Hayflick limit piqued Andy's interest.
"What are you planning to do? Byron might not want to share the blood orchid."
After all, from the research data, the effects of this blood orchid did seem quite astonishing.
As long as certain results were achieved, various World-renowned awards would be within reach.
Even with Byron's business methods, the company could be revived and even increase its market value several times over.
Therefore, Byron would absolutely not share this blood orchid with others.
Especially since Norman was a scientist with strong research capabilities, it was even more impossible for Byron to share the blood orchid.
Norman smiled; he knew Andy would say that.
"I don't actually have shares in Byron's company, but I do have shares in Weihe Venture Capital, which controls most of Byron's company's shares.
I am a shareholder and one of the owners of Weihe Venture Capital. He cannot refuse my request, unless he is prepared for his company to disappear."
Although these words sounded ruthless, for Andy and them, it was perfectly normal.
If a boss's small request cannot be met, then what is the use of having your company?
Anyway, if the company is going to be sold, going bankrupt now could at least cut losses in time.
Norman was openly telling Byron: either meet my demands, or your company will go bankrupt.
For Byron Mitchell Biotechnology Company, neither Weihe Venture Capital nor the Osborn Group were entities to be provoked.
If Byron wanted to save his company, he had only one choice: obey Norman's instructions.
Moreover, Norman wouldn't cause them trouble; he planned to hire an elite mercenary team to help complete the task.
Byron would merely be a guide leading the way; his role was limited to this, and everything else would be handled by the mercenaries.
