Chapter 155: Mechanical Origin! The Incomplete Mechanical Core!
Chapter 155: Mechanical Origin! The Incomplete Mechanical Core!
This is a pitch-black masterpiece!
Undoubtedly, Su Ping still uses the word 'masterpiece' to describe it.
Most importantly, the design is truly over-the-top.
Su Ping could see all the cool poses and ferocious forms he could imagine from this contraption.
The entire body is jet black, and at the position of the four wheels, there are bright red patterns that resemble blood or flames.
It's flashy but doesn't give off that eerie ghostly fire feeling. The texture of the body is quite unique.
The low-slung body, combined with the floating chassis, ensures that it can navigate most terrains with ease.
Su Ping caressed the shell of this thing, feeling dizzy and mesmerized.
It's definitely cool.
This is beyond doubt, as the gazes of the guests coming and going at the Yun Tian Resort's entrance, as well as the crowd gathering around, clearly show this.
Most normal men would indeed find it hard not to like this thing.
Dong Muyun stood by with a smile:
"Do you like it?"
"I love it!"
Su Ping nodded eagerly.
"If you like it, then this thing is worth more than my Red King!"
"Oh?"
Su Ping raised an eyebrow, looking at the woman in surprise.
Dong Muyun winked at him and tossed the keys over, then got into the passenger seat.
Su Ping took the keys and got into the car.
The interior was still predominantly black, but it incorporated a dark blue style.
It was clear from the outside that the black and red design represented unparalleled passion.
The dark blue interior, on the other hand, kept the driver calm and composed.
It was a great design, and Su Ping genuinely liked it.
However, it was evident that this thing was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"In terms of value, this thing can't be stopped by just a few!"
Dong Muyun boasted with a smile.
"Oh? Is the material very precious?"
"It's not just the material that's precious!"
Dong Muyun gave a light hum:
"Generally speaking, the mechanical core of an intelligent car is a semi-finished product that failed to awaken as a mechanical pet beast. But this one is different!"
"What?"
Su Ping looked at the smug Dong Muyun.
The value of the mechanical core could be seen from Dong Muyun's previous bet with her.
In the end, Su Ping didn't succeed in obtaining the mechanical core, which made him regretful.
"Do you mean this thing isn't just a smart car, but a mechanical pet beast?"
Among all pet beasts, mechanical pet beasts are considered luxury pet beasts, being the newest type to emerge in the past century.
Time-type pet beasts are simply rare, but mechanical pet beasts, whether born or bred, require a significant amount of money and resources.
However, as a special type of pet beast with great potential, countless beast tamers still choose a mechanical pet beast as their contract beast when their conditions are sufficient.
A mechanical pet beast car awakened by a mechanical core? Its value is indeed much more precious than a genuine smart car.
Did this woman really use an awakened mechanical core as her big toy?
That's too extravagant, isn't it? It's evident that Su Ping was overthinking it.
Dong Muyun slightly embarrassedly touched her nose and then glared at him:
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to use the mechanical core to try awakening a mechanical pet beast, that's possible. But how can an already awakened mechanical pet beast allow you to play with it like that?"
"Then this..."
Su Ping's interruption disrupted Dong Muyun's playful mood:
"This mechanical core is in the process of semi-awakening but can no longer continue."
"Semi-awakening?"
As a luxury pet beast, it's evident that Su Ping doesn't know much about mechanical cores.
Dong Muyun patiently continued her explanation:
"The origin of mechanical pet beasts is the mechanical core. You should know that, right?
The mechanical core is equivalent to the heart and brain of animal-type pet beasts, the stem of plant-type pet beasts, the crystal core of elemental-type pet beasts, and the soul fire of undead-type pet beasts.
The birth of the mechanical core was a chance discovery by a breeder from the Lion Kingdom, a so-called empire where the sun never sets in the West. It is a special item resulting from the combination of the heart of gold elements and electromagnetic force.
People found that after the combination, this transformed 'heart of gold elements' became something new.
This thing can control all mechanical objects and then give birth to an elemental-like consciousness, but it cannot have an elemental body. Instead, it is connected to a mechanical body."
Su Ping nodded. Under the industrial era, the birth of such a pet beast that fits the era's development represents another step forward in human pet beast breeding history.
"So, the process of awakening the mechanical core is divided into two steps! The first step, and the most difficult and crucial one, is to transmit information to let the mechanical core develop self-awareness and consciousness!"
Dong Muyun continued:
"Usually, once the first step is completed, and the mechanical core successfully develops self-awareness and wisdom, we can say that the mechanical pet beast has awakened.
Because the second step of mechanical pet beast birth, connecting the mechanical body and shaping the mechanical embodiment, is a simple matter.
Things like intelligent cars and smart cars fail at this first step, so they can only be used as the core of these things.
But the mechanical core of your car has barely awakened self-awareness and consciousness, yet it mysteriously cannot integrate with the rest of the mechanical body! Some mechanical experts believe that this mechanical core is incomplete."
So, it can only be controlled through this method, using circuit sensors, and it cannot be as flexible as a mechanical pet beast, or even change its body at will."
Listening to Dong Muchun's explanation, Su Ping also scratched his head, now he understood.
At this moment, the screen lit up:
"Hello, welcome aboard the Black Blood. I am the driving intelligence of this vehicle, you can call me Fei Fei! Handsome partner, are you Fei Fei's master?"
A clear electronic voice resonated within the car.
Su Ping couldn't help but feel impressed.
This voice was indeed more emotional than the one in the Red King, and it was also livelier.
It could even ask questions proactively.
Su Ping blinked:
"Yes!"
"Dear master, it is Fei Fei's honor to serve you. However, since this is your first time driving the Black Blood, please look directly at the screen and allow me to bind with your pupils!"
Su Ping followed the instructions and stared at the screen. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared.
"Binding complete, dear master. Would you like Fei Fei to introduce the capabilities of the 'Black Blood'?"
The electronic voice seemed to become more lively and vivid, and in fact, with the awakening of self-awareness, the mechanical core had already become a special form of life.
It was no different from all the other pet beasts.
However, this special mechanical core named Fei Fei could not connect to the body of a mechanical pet beast like the others, and thus lacked various abilities.
It could only serve as a more intelligent control center within an intelligent sports car.
"Of course."
"The exterior material of the Black Blood is made from a fusion of Golden Oak Rubber and high-precision carbon fiber, providing exceptional defensive capabilities that can withstand attacks from pet beasts below the Sovereign rank! Even when facing attacks of the Sovereign rank, it can withstand the initial impact force, and at the same time, it can activate the 'Spatial Chip' installed inside the car to teleport the master to the nearest hospital within a certain range.
This ensures the maximum protection of the master's life! Additionally, as an ultra-lightweight sports car, the Black Blood can reach a top speed of over 600 kilometers per hour. However, according to the Dragon Kingdom's laws, this speed cannot be driven in any city or on roads with traffic.
When the speed exceeds 200 kilometers per hour, only a Beastmaster of the General rank or above can personally control it, and when the speed reaches 400 kilometers per hour or more, the car's intelligence must take over.
The Black Blood has a certain degree of hovering capability, allowing for low-altitude flight..."
Fei Fei, the intelligent life form, introduced all the capabilities of the Black Blood sports car.
Su Ping listened with satisfaction and nodded.
He couldn't wait to take it out for a spin.
Wasn't this much better than his father's old Shadow? When his father returned, he would show him what a true supercar was! With this thought, Su Ping grabbed the steering wheel.
"Let's go! I'll take you for a ride!"
Dong Muchun gave Su Ping a sidelong glance, amused by his excitement, but she didn't refuse. She leaned back in the passenger seat, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she stared at Su Ping.
Soon, as the car left the Wood of Heart, Dong Muchun pursed her lips and pointed out the window:
"Is this how you're going to take me for a ride?"
Not far away, a bus slowly started moving. Even at the bus's slow speed, it still outpaced this extremely flashy supercar.
Some passengers on the bus looked on with odd expressions.
The supercar's design was so flashy, yet it was driven like a regular car? Su Ping glanced at her:
"What do you know? There are countless roads, but safety comes first. Driving recklessly will only bring tears to your family. I'm past the age of street racing."
Street racing?
Dong Muchun silently gazed out the window at the autumn scenery passing by and didn't say more.
Finally, the car's intelligent system, Fei Fei, reminded them:
"Master, you are currently on the suburban road of Linzhou City. If you drive too slowly, it may affect the vehicles behind you. I suggest increasing your speed to 30 kilometers per hour."
"Haha!"
Dong Muchun couldn't hold back her laughter anymore.
Su Ping spread his hands:
"Activate autonomous driving mode and circle around the Spiritual Stream River Station!"
"Yes, master!"
The car slowly accelerated, and Su Ping glanced at Dong Muchun:
"You've been pretty free lately?"
Dong Muchun shrugged and nodded:
"Yes, I've been quite free."
"Has Tianyun Group run out of things to do?"
Su Ping was suspicious.
"If Dong Muchun wants to manage it, let him manage it. After all, we still have Pingyun!"
Ours? Su Ping's words sounded strange, but he still asked:
"How's business these days?"
At this question, Dong Muchun's expression lit up:
"These days, not counting the orders from the Legion and the Beastmaster Association, just the wholesale orders and the wolf pet breeding bases alone have sold nearly ten thousand units!"
"Ten thousand?!"
Su Ping couldn't help but gasp.
According to Dong Muchun's selling price, this meant that these sales, excluding labor costs, had already generated hundreds of millions, or even billions, in profits?
Su Ping was astonished.
"Don't get too excited too soon. After selling them, the market needs time to digest. It's unlikely to have such an effect in the future.
Of course, this is just within Jianghai Province. The entire Dragon Kingdom market is still vast."
(Chapter End)
The future potential of the Wolf Core is indeed significant!"
Dong Muyun narrowed her eyes slightly.
The profits and effects were very satisfying to her.
Most importantly, no one else dared to covet such a lucrative business!
Of course, it wasn't some so-called second-generation rich kid.
Dong Muyun herself was the biggest second-generation, and the one she was referring to was none other than the Dong family itself.
Once Dong Muyuntian returns, he will definitely investigate Su Ping's identity thoroughly.
However, no one dared to approach Su Ping through Dong Muyun, which had already achieved her purpose of acting with Lin Lei, Dong Muyuntian, and Dong Muyunshan.
"Has Dong Muyuntian been bothering you again?" Su Ping glanced at her.
When it came to business matters, Dong Muyun seemed to suddenly remember something, and her eyebrows lifted slightly:
"No, recently Dong Muyuntian doesn't have the energy for that, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"A competitor from the same industry has arrived in Jianghai Province. They mainly focus on Pet Beast real estate, and are in direct competition with Tianyun Real Estate.
Many of the lands around Linzhou were almost secured by Tianyun, but they were snatched away by the other party at the last moment."
Dong Muyun showed a hint of pleasure.
"Is there someone who can take land away from Tianyun? That's quite a big deal."
Su Ping could also see the strength of the Dong family from this.
Indeed, it was outrageous for someone to snatch something from the Dong family.
However, Dong Muyun's peculiar gaze made Su Ping feel a bit uneasy:
"Of course, it's a big deal. Don't you know?"
"What do I know?"
"Didn't Miss Qin tell you?"
Su Ping's eyelids twitched again. What does this have to do with Qin Xiaoxue?
He shook his head.
Dong Muyun smiled meaningfully:
"The one who came this time is Daxuan Company, a real estate company based in Dragon Kingdom. It's a newly emerged company from a few years ago, but its expansion has been extremely rapid.
Now, as they expand their company's influence, they've reached out to this side of Jianghai! And this Daxuan Company, its founder and general manager is named Qin Chuan."
The surname Qin.
Before Su Ping could react, Dong Muyun smiled and nodded:
"Yes, he's the son of President Qin, Miss Qin's father."
...
In the highest office of the Beastmaster Association building in Linzhou City.
Qin Erlong was savoring the fragrant tea in his cup, and smiled slightly:
"The other side of the Endless Sea also has good tea, and the taste is not bad."
He continued to smile at the man before him, who looked six parts similar to himself:
"This time, how long do you plan to stay in Linzhou?"
The man thought for a moment and said:
"I'm not in a hurry. It's been a while since I had tea and played chess with you...
Qin Erlong quickly waved his hand: "No, young people doing things are too serious, you should focus on what you're supposed to do."
The man felt a bit embarrassed: "Okay, after finishing the project on this side, I'll probably return to Dragon Kingdom before New Year's Day."
Between father and son, there wasn't much to talk about.
The atmosphere turned slightly silent, and then Qin Erlong spoke again:
"Little Chuan, about the previous matter, your mother also told me about it. She's always been like that, and after so many years, you shouldn't take it too much to heart."
"I understand," the man replied, but what he truly thought remained unknown.
"Did a senior beastmaster from Hawk Country come with you this time?"
Qin Erlong changed the topic.
Qin Chuan nodded:
"Mu Beastmaster is originally from Jianghai. This time, it can be considered a homecoming for him."
Qin Erlong's eyebrows furrowed slightly:
"Little Chuan, your mother's tone might have been a bit harsh, but her intentions and reasoning are not wrong. Currently, Dragon Kingdom is at a critical juncture, and that person's iron-fisted approach, you've probably heard about it too. Your mother's position is of utmost importance.
Next year's educational reforms will directly impact Dragon Kingdom, and at this time, there must not be any mishaps or changes."
Qin Chuan's expression didn't change, and he nodded:
"I understand, Mu Beastmaster won't stay in Dragon Kingdom for too long... I'll be more careful in the future."
Only then did Qin Erlong smile in satisfaction:
"Hehe, as long as you understand, that's good. Come on, son, why are we standing like this? Let's have some tea."
Qin Chuan also revealed a smile, but instead of taking Qin Erlong's teacup, he took out a small bag from his chest:
"Dad, this Snow Tea is something I brought especially for you to try. I can't bear to drink it myself, so I'll have this instead."
He brewed a cup of coffee from the small bag.
The fragrance of tea and coffee intertwined, creating a peculiar aroma in the room.
After finishing the tea with his father, Qin Chuan stood up:
"Dad, I have something else to do. Let's talk more tonight."
"Okay!"
Qin Erlong stood up with a smile.
Just as Qin Chuan was about to turn and leave, Old Qin suddenly spoke up:
"Little Chuan!"
Qin Chuan turned around, looking at Old Qin in surprise.
"As for Xiaoxue's future, everyone has their own fate. You didn't like your mother controlling your life, and likewise, Xiaoxue won't like..."
Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared:
"I heard that Xiaoxue met a guy in Linzhou, and I originally thought, well, you're her father would agree, but her mother definitely wouldn't approve. It seems like a generational bond now. I'm really curious, what kind of person is he that even your mother has no objections."
After speaking, Qin Chuan turned and left.
