The requirements for a research robot were higher than for an ordinary combat robot. Not only were the raw materials very expensive, some components were also troublesome.
It was a waste of time for Luke to get the bigshot who sold everything to specially settle a deal after the robot was damaged so soon.
No matter how much money Luke had, he couldn't let Dr. Sterns act like this.
An unrestrained researcher could burn all the wealth on Earth.
Luke was only a shareholder in a few companies, not the God of Earth.
He had to save as much money as possible.
Of course, even after he made this clear, he still had to give the robot to Dr. Sterns.
After Luke personally "negotiated" with Claudia and Ophelia, they quickly agreed to cooperate with the research.
However, to prevent the robot from being instantly destroyed again, Dr. Sterns certainly couldn't plot to cut them open and study them bit by bit.
