Chapter 43 043 New Flower Language Three (Thanks to BJ Hippo God Alliance Leader)

  New Century Building.

As soon as Li Chengyi got out of the elevator, he was slightly stunned by the scene in front of him.

What he saw in front of him was not the usual orderly Hongjin Company, but a deserted and empty hall with no more than five employees.

“Xiaoyi, are you here?” Song Ran stood up in a corner of the office hall, holding a cup of freshly brewed instant coffee in his hand.

“Brother Song? Where is the boss? And where is the company??” Li Chengyi got out of the elevator and approached.

“They are all in the innermost part. The boss just gave everyone a half-day holiday today. We only need to keep a few people on duty from afternoon to evening.” Song Ran replied.

"Okay. It seems like something happened today?" Li Chengyi reacted instantly.

 “You reacted quickly enough.” Song Ran smiled. "It was an old subordinate of the boss who came to see him. He happened to know that you wanted to know about the flying instruments, so the boss asked you to come over quickly so that he could ask for some professional news. You should be nicer in a while, he is a professional. "

"I know." Li Chengyi had an idea after hearing these words.

Song Ran's words seemed simple and ordinary, but in fact they gave him a lot of hints.

 Go through the company office hall and walk to the innermost office door.

Inside, Syndra was talking to a young man with black shawl hair. The two were chatting happily, with natural expressions.

Hearing Li Chengyi approaching, the long-haired young man quickly turned his head and looked towards the door.

 “Your people?” the young man asked doubtfully. He looked at Syndra again.

"He wants to know about the situation of Feiyi. You're here anyway, so feel free to talk about it." Sindra smiled at Li Chengyi and replied in a low voice.

 “Okay, you are the boss anyway, you have the final say.” The long-haired young man said with a smile.

At this time, Li Chengyi had already entered the door. Under the signal from Sindra's eyes, he walked up to the young man and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

 “Hello, Cheng Yi.”

“Ding Ning.” The young man smiled and shook his hand gently.

“I heard from the boss that Mr. Ding can answer my questions about flying instruments, I don’t know.” Li Chengyi asked softly.

“Have you ever tested your brain power?” Ding Ning asked.

 “Not yet.” Li Chengyi shook his head.

"That's it. Controlling a flying instrument requires strong mental calculations and nerve reaction speed." Ding Ning motioned to sit down on the sofa next to him and talk.

“You must have heard of brainwave manipulation?” he asked with a smile.

“Well, yes, some children’s toys also work on this principle.” Li Chengyi nodded.

"That's it." Ding Ning continued, "The so-called brain wave manipulation is actually to use special sensing elements to precisely detect the basic activity information of your cerebral cortex, so as to produce corresponding manipulation behaviors based on some distinctive brain wave responses."

“In other words, it’s not some kind of super power of telekinesis?” Li Chengyi suddenly realized.

Even in the memory of the predecessor, brainwave manipulation is an extremely mysterious method, and ordinary people cannot understand many of its specific principles.

 Hearing Ding Ning’s explanation at this time, he immediately understood.

"Absolutely. Where can telepathic superpowers come from in this world? It all relies on technology." Ding Ning said with a smile, "Technology is the primary productive force. The so-called brain waves are actually brain waves. This is the omnipotent master who has been circulating on the Internet for a long time. typical example."

“So, the essence of flying instruments is actually equivalent to the brain wave control of drones?” Li Chengyi said by analogy.

"Understood accurately!" Ding Ning nodded, "Changing the drones we usually play into weapon-type drones that are faster, more aggressive, and faster to respond are the so-called omnics, that is, Feiyi.”

“Feiyi Feiyi is actually a flying instrument.”

“Flight instruments.” After Li Chengyi understood this, many situations suddenly came to mind.

“So, it seems that any omnic or aircraft controller needs a very troublesome logistics support team to ensure the absolute stability of his aircraft?”

"Generally, there are few things to maintain and guarantee for flying instruments, so in terms of logistics, a powerful intelligent mechanic can handle it by himself." Ding Ning replied, "So why do you think the intelligent mechanic would call a master? Instead of the pilot who controls the drone. Hands, that’s the truth.”

 “That’s it.” Li Chengyi’s eyes showed surprise.

 “I heard from the boss that you also want to become an omnic?” Ding Ning asked.

“Well, I have some ideas, but I also know it’s difficult. So I just want to give it a try.” Li Chengyi showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Actually, it's not a big problem." Ding Ning affirmed easily, "You'll know when you go to the Brain Calculation Center. In this profession, it's best for you to develop slowly from the amateur route at the beginning, and try it out first. Our profession , the brain power is not bad, as long as the reaction is not too slow, you can get it. As for computing power, you don’t need any complicated computing power to play the most basic old model flying instrument.”

“Then why are people like this?” Before Li Chengyi could finish his question, Ding Ning interrupted.

"Because of money." Ding Ning smiled, "The profession of an omnic is in one word: money-consuming! Even the most basic flying instruments, brainwave control terminals, and basic protective force field suits cost tens of millions. This It’s just the beginning. The subsequent adjustments, maintenance, and modifications all require you to hire a professional pilot.”

 Speaking of this, Ding Ning took out a fiery red knife from his jacket pocket.

 The knife is only as long as a palm and looks extremely delicate and delicate. "Here, this is my flying instrument - the fire sickle. You can take it and have a look."

 He handed the knife to Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi carefully took the knife and looked at it carefully.

This fire sickle knife is like a mechanical knife made up of many delicate mechanical parts fit together.

“With so many parts assembled, will this thing fall apart easily?” He sincerely asked his doubts.

"Well, good question." Ding Ning smiled, "So this is the job of my flying instrument master. Every time it is used three times, a knife of the fire sickle must be returned to receive adjustment and maintenance by the flying instrument master."

“Are all omnics like this?” Li Chengyi frowned.

"Almost, I'm average. Go to the Mental Calculation Center and they will calculate your upper limit. They will tell you the maximum step you can go. If you continue to enter the omnic after being informed of the situation, Yixing, if you have a lot of money, no one will say anything to you." Ding Ning took out a fire sickle again, gently spread it in the palm of his hand, and then silently, the fire sickle knife suddenly floated up, with a faint red line emitting from the end.

“Anti-gravity modules are still very expensive. This is a high-tech product that can only be produced in the self-circulating city. Therefore, in order to prevent the leakage of technology, the maintenance of omnics can only be carried out in the self-circulating city.”

"Mr. Ding, can you tell me the price of these two fire sickle knives?" Li Chengyi couldn't help but ask.

"Two million for one, and one million for each maintenance and repair. The service life is about fifty times. If the hardness of the target is very high, you will have to make a new one after using it once." Ding Ning quickly replied, nothing So secretive.

“.” Li Chengyi thought he had overestimated the cost, but he didn’t expect it to be so high.

“Do you think it’s too exaggerated or too expensive?” Ding Ning stood up. "Want to see the base speed of the flying instrument?"

 He raised his hand gently and looked at Li Chengyi with a smile on his face.

“Is that okay?” Li Chengyi stood up in anticipation.

“Of course, it’s just a test of speed, no loss.” Ding Ning nodded.

 “Then I’ll trouble you!” Li Chengyi nodded seriously.

 How powerful Fei Yi is, he hopes to see with his own eyes.

"Then let's use this cup as an imaginary enemy." Ding Ning raised the water cup in his hand and smiled.

Huh.

 He suddenly threw the milky-white one-eared water glass into the air.

 The water glass is thrown in the air in a light curve. After it reaches the highest point, it begins to fall.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 simultaneously!

 In an instant, a little red light flashed and passed through the middle of the water glass.

Li Chengyi didn't even react before everything was over.

With a snap, Ding Ning accurately caught the water glass with one hand and placed it in front of Li Chengyi with a smile.

I saw a long, narrow, burnt-black crack suddenly appearing in the middle of the cup.

The crack was about the size of a fingernail. The most important thing is that it didn’t crack the cup and explode.

“General pistol bullets, the moment they leave the muzzle, their initial velocity can reach the speed of sound.” Ding Ning explained, “Of course my fire sickle cannot reach the speed of sound.”

“That” Li Chengyi came back from the shock and wanted to ask.

"Almost one-half the speed of sound." Ding Ning interrupted, showing a gentle smile. "The speed of the fire sickle is about one-half the speed of sound, and this is not its limit, but my limit."

“That’s about the maximum speed that I can control freely. No matter how fast it is, it will naturally be faster, but if I can’t control it, the lethality will drop significantly, and I may even accidentally injure myself, which is not worth the loss.”

 Li Chengyi was silent.

 He suddenly thought of his sister Li Chengjiu. She was taking the exam for the Intelligent Mechanic Certificate. From this point of view, she might also have a flying instrument.

Since the flying instrument is so expensive, what does she rely on to obtain it?

 Only relying on this little support from your family?

It was okay if I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it. Li Chengyi knew that with the little capital at home, even Feiyi's basic consumption was enough.

 Thinking of this, he simply asked Ding Ning his doubts.

"This model also exists. Many talented young people who perform well can accept investment from some capital or influence. This can reduce the cost to a very low level. After all, there are many capital groups and they have enough support. For pilots, the cost of maintaining their aircraft is much lower than that of ordinary people.”

Ding Ning replied.

“Some universities can also rent them. The price of renting a flying instrument is much cheaper. However, most of these rented instruments are one to several eras behind the models on the market. They can at most be used to practice and become familiar with them.”

 “That’s it.” Li Chengyi nodded clearly.

"Although I don't know if you can become one of us, I still want to warn you in advance." Ding Ning said seriously with a smile on his face.

 “Please tell me.”

“That is, before becoming an omnic, you can be indifferent, but after becoming an omnic, you’d better personally supervise every maintenance. Don’t be lazy and let it go completely.”
