Chapter 155: The Origin of Machinery! An Incomplete Mechanical Core!
Chapter 155: The Origin of Machinery! An Incomplete Mechanical Core!
This was a pitch-black masterpiece!
Undoubtedly, Su Ping still used the word 'masterpiece' to describe it.
Mainly, the design was incredibly exaggerated.
Su Ping could imagine all the cool poses and ferocious forms on this thing.
Completely black, at the position of the four wheels, there was a bright red pattern like fresh blood or raging flames.
It was flashy but didn't give off a ghostly fire vibe. The texture of the body was extremely unique.
The low-slung body, with its hovering chassis, could ensure smooth movement on most terrains.
Su Ping caressed the shell of this thing, feeling dizzy and mesmerized.
Indeed, it was cool.
There was no doubt about it, as evidenced by the glances of the guests coming and going at the Yun Tian Resort entrance, and the fact that many people were gathered around to watch.
Most normal men couldn't help but love this thing.
Dong Muyun stood by with a smile:
"Do you like it?"
"I love it!"
Su Ping eagerly nodded.
"If you like it, then its value is even more expensive than my Red King!"
"Oh?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, looking at the woman in surprise.
Dong Muyun gave him a look and directly threw the keys to him, then got into the passenger seat of the vehicle.
Su Ping took the keys and got into the car as well.
The interior was still predominantly black but blended with a dark blue style.
Obviously, from the outside, the black and red design represented unparalleled passion.
The dark blue interior, on the other hand, kept the driver calm and collected.
It was a great design style, and Su Ping genuinely liked it.
However, it was clear that this thing was not as simple as it appeared from the outside.
"In terms of value, this thing is worth several hundred million!"
Dong Muyun smiled and boasted.
"Oh? Are the materials rare?"
"It's not just the materials that are precious."
Dong Muyun gave a light hum:
"Generally speaking, the mechanical core of an intelligent sports car is a semi-finished product of a failed attempt to awaken a mechanical beast. But this one is different!"
"What?"
Su Ping looked at the smug Dong Muyun.
The value of the mechanical core was evident from Dong Muyun's previous bet with him.
In the end, Su Ping didn't succeed in obtaining the mechanical core, which made him regretful.
"Do you mean this isn't just a pure intelligent sports car, but a mechanical beast?"
Among all pets, the mechanical beast, as a new type of pet that emerged in the past century, is considered a luxury pet.
Temporal Type pets are simply rare, but mechanical beasts, whether born or bred, require a significant amount of money and resources.
However, as a special pet type with great potential, countless Beastmasters still choose a mechanical pet as their contract beast when their conditions allow.
A mechanical beast car with an awakened mechanical core? Its value far surpasses that of a regular intelligent sports car.
Did this woman really use an awakened mechanical core as her big toy?
That would be too extravagant, wouldn't it? It was clear that Su Ping had overthought it.
Dong Muyun felt slightly embarrassed and touched her nose, then glanced at him:
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to use a mechanical core to try awakening a mechanical beast, that's possible. But how could an already awakened mechanical beast be used for such play?"
"Then this..."
After Su Ping disrupted her rhythm, Dong Muyun no longer felt like keeping the secret:
"This mechanical core is in the process of semi-awakening but can no longer continue."
"Semi-awakening?"
As a luxury pet, it was clear that Su Ping didn't know much about mechanical cores.
Dong Muyun patiently continued her explanation:
"The origin of mechanical beasts is the mechanical core, which you should know.
The mechanical core is equivalent to the heart and brain of animal-type pets, the stem of plant-type pets, the crystal core of elemental-type pets, and the soul fire of undead-type pets.
The discovery of the mechanical core was a coincidence by a scientist from Lion Country, the so-called empire where the sun never sets. It is a special item created by the fusion of the Golden Elemental Heart and electromagnetic force.
After the fusion, this transformed 'Golden Elemental Heart' became something new.
This item can fuse with the control systems of all mechanical objects, giving birth to an elemental-like consciousness. However, it cannot possess an elemental body but instead connects to a mechanical construct body."
Su Ping nodded. In the industrial age, the birth of a pet that fits the era's development like this signifies another step forward in the history of human pet cultivation.
"So, this mechanical core has already developed intelligence and self-awareness?"
Dong Muyun continued:
"Usually, once the first step is completed, and the mechanical core successfully develops self-awareness and intelligence, you can say that the mechanical beast has awakened.
The second step in the birth of a mechanical beast is to connect with a mechanical body and shape its mechanical incarnation, which is a simple matter.
Those intelligent machines and intelligent sports cars failed at this first step and can only be used as the core of such things.
However, the mechanical core in your car is special. It has barely awakened intelligence and self-awareness, but strangely, it cannot fuse or connect with other mechanical bodies! Some mechanical engineers believe that this mechanical core is incomplete."
So, it can only be controlled through circuit sensors, and it cannot be as versatile as a mechanical beast, which can even change its mechanical body at will."
Upon hearing Dong Muyun's explanation, Su Ping scratched his head in realization.
At that moment, the screen lit up:
"Hello, welcome aboard the Black Blood. I am the driving intelligence of this vehicle, you can call me Fatty! Handsome partner, are you Fatty's master?"
A clear electronic synthesized voice echoed inside the car.
Indeed, Su Ping's eyes lit up.
This voice was indeed more emotional than Ultra Shadow, and even more lively than Dong Muyun's Red King's intelligent voice.
It could even ask questions proactively.
Su Ping blinked:
"Yes!"
"Dear master, it is Fatty's honor to serve you. However, since this is your first time driving the Black Blood, please look directly at the screen and let me bind your pupils with the Black Blood!"
Su Ping followed Xiao Hei's instructions and stared at the screen. Instantly, a flash of light appeared.
"Binding complete, dear master, would you like Fatty to introduce you to the capabilities of the 'Black Blood'?"
The electronic voice seemed to become more vivid and lively, and in fact, after completing the awakening of self-awareness, the mechanical core was already considered a special form of life.
It was no different from all the other beasts.
However, this special mechanical core named Fatty, unlike other mechanical beasts, could not connect to the body of a mechanical beast, possessing various abilities.
It could only serve as a more intelligent control center within an intelligent sports car.
"Of course."
"The exterior of the Black Blood is made of a fusion of golden oak rubber and high-precision carbon fiber, providing an excellent defensive capability against attacks from pets below the Sovereign rank!
Even when facing attacks of the Sovereign rank, it can withstand the impact force at the first moment, while simultaneously activating the 'Spatial Chip' installed inside the car, providing a one-time spatial teleportation effect to the nearest hospital within the vicinity.
It can protect the master's life to the greatest extent! At the same time, as an ultra-lightweight sports car, the maximum speed of the Black Blood can reach over 600 kilometers per hour. However, according to Longguo's laws, this speed cannot be driven in any city or on roads with traffic.
And for speeds above 200 kilometers per hour, the physical fitness of a Commander-level Beastmaster is required to drive personally. When the speed reaches 400 kilometers per hour, it needs to be taken over by the intelligence.
The Black Blood has a certain levitation capability, allowing for a certain degree of low-altitude flight..."
The intelligent life named Fatty introduced all the capabilities of the sports car named 'Black Blood'.
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction, eager to take it out for a spin.
This is so much better than my dad's Ultra Shadow! When he returns, I'll show him what a true supercar is! With this thought, Su Ping grabbed the steering wheel.
"Let's go, I'll take you for a ride!"
Dong Muyun gave Su Ping a sidelong glance, excited, but she didn't refuse. Instead, she leaned back in the passenger seat, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she stared at Su Ping.
However, soon after the vehicle left the Heartwood, Dong Muyun pursed her lips and pointed out the window:
"Is this how you're taking me for a ride?"
A bus in the distance slowly started moving, and even at the slow speed of the bus, it still surpassed this extremely exaggerated supercar.
The exaggerated design of the sports car, yet it was being driven like a bicycle? Su Ping shot her a glance:
"What do you know? There are countless roads, but safety comes first. Driving recklessly will only bring tears to your loved ones. I'm past the age of reckless driving."
Reckless driving?
Dong Muyun silently glanced out the window at the slowly passing autumn scenery, choosing not to say more.
It wasn't until the vehicle's intelligent system, Fatty, finally reminded them:
"Master, you are currently on the suburban highway of Linzhou City. If you drive too slowly, it may affect the vehicles behind you. It is recommended to increase your speed to 30 kilometers per hour."
"Pfft..."
Dong Muyun, sitting beside Su Ping, spread her hands:
"Activate the automatic driving mode and drive around the Lingxi Station within a 10-kilometer radius!"
The car slowly accelerated, and Su Ping glanced at Dong Muyun:
"You've been quite free lately?"
Dong Muyun shrugged:
"Yes, I've been quite free."
"What about Tianyun Corporation? If Dong Mutian wants to manage it, let him do it. We still have Pingyun, right?"
Su Ping was skeptical.
"Business has been good these days. Excluding the orders from the Legion and the Beastmaster Association, just the wholesale and some wolf pet breeding bases have sold out. Even without considering labor costs, the profit is already in the hundreds of millions, or even billions."
Su Ping was astonished.
"Don't get too excited too soon. After selling, the market needs time to digest, and it's unlikely to have such an effect in the future.
Of course, this is just within the scope of Jianghai Province. The market in Longguo is still vast."
The future potential of the Wolf Heart is still significant!"
Dong Muchun narrowed her eyes slightly.
Such profits and effects left her very satisfied.
Most importantly, such a terrifyingly profitable business venture was not coveted by anyone else!
Of course, she wasn't referring to some so-called second-generation rich kids.
Dong Muchun herself was the biggest second-generation rich kid, and what she referred to was precisely the Dong family itself.
After Dong Mutian returned, he would definitely conduct a thorough investigation into Su Ping's identity.
However, no one had contacted Su Ping behind Dong Muchun's back, which had already achieved her purpose of putting on a show in front of Lin Lei, Dong Mutian, and Dong Muyan.
"Has Dong Mutian not caused you any more trouble?" Su Ping glanced at her.
Mentioning business matters, Dong Muchun seemed to suddenly think of something, raising her eyebrows slightly:
"No, Dong Mutian probably doesn't have the energy for that recently?"
"What do you mean?"
"There's a competitor from the same industry in Jianghai Province, mainly focusing on pet beast real estate, directly competing with Tianyun Real Estate.
Many of the lands around Linzhou that Tianyun was almost certain to secure were snatched away by them."
Dong Muchun seemed somewhat gleeful.
"Is there still someone who can snatch land from Tianyun? They must have a significant background?"
From the glimpse he had, Su Ping could see the strength of the Dong family.
For someone to be able to snatch away something from the Dong family's hands was indeed surprising.
However, Dong Muchun's strange gaze made Su Ping feel uneasy:
"Of course they have a significant background, don't you know?"
"Know what?"
"Didn't Qin Xiaoxue mention anything to you?"
Su Ping's eyelids twitched again. What did this have to do with Qin Xiaoxue? He shook his head.
Dong Muchun smiled meaningfully:
"This time, the company that arrived is Dachuan Corporation, a real estate company based in Maddo. Although it's a relatively new company from a few years ago, its rise has been very rapid.
Now, as it expands its influence, it has extended its reach to Jianghai! And the founder and general manager of Dachuan Corporation is Qin Chuan."
Qin?
Before Su Ping could react, Dong Muchun nodded with a smile:
"Yes, he is the son of Qin Chairman, Qin Xiaoxue's father."
...
In the highest office of the Beastmaster Association building in Linzhou City.
Qin Erlong sipped the fragrant tea in his cup and smiled slightly:
"There's good tea on the other side of the Endless Sea as well, it tastes quite good."
He put down the teacup and looked at the man who resembled him by about sixty percent, continuing with asmile:
"How long do you plan to stay in Linzhou"
The man thought for a moment and said:
"Not in a hurry, it's been a long time since I last had tea and played chess with you..."
Qin Erlong waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no, young people should not be too conservative. Do what you should do."
The manlooked a bit awkward: "Alright, once the project here is handled, I'll probably return to Maddo before New Year's Day."
There isn't much to say between father and son.
The atmosphere was slightly silent, then Qin Erlong spoke again:
"Xiao Chuan, your mother has already told me about what happenedThe"Yes," the man replied, but it was unclear what he thought.
"You mentioned a high-level beastmaster from Eagle Country came with you?"
Qin Erlong changed the subject.
Qin Chuan nodded:
"Mu Beastmaster is originally fromfrom Jianghai, this time he can also return to his hometown."
Qin Erlong's brows furrowed slightly:
"Xiao Chuan, your mother might have spoken a bit harshly, but her point is still valid. Longguo is at a critical junctureThe iron fist of that person, I'm sure youyouYou must have heard about itYour mother's position is crucial.
Next year, the education reform will hit Jianghai first, at this time, there cannot be any mistakes or incidents."
Qin Chuan's expression didn't change, nodding:
"Yes, I understand. Mu Beastmaster won't stay in Longguo for long... I'll be more careful inQinErlong smiled contentedly:
"Hehe, as long as you understand, that's fine. We don't have to be so formal between usLet me have some tea."
Qin Chuan also smiled, but he didn't take Qin Erlong's teacup, instead pulling out a small bag from his pocket:
"Father, this Snow Ice Tea is something I brought especially for you to try, I wouldn'tIHe brewed a cup of coffee.
Instantly, the tea fragrance and coffee aroma mixed in the office, creating a rather peculiar scent.
After finishing the drink, Qin Chuan stood up:
"Father, I still have some things to do, I'll talk to you tonight."
"Alright!"
Qin Erlong smiled and stood up.
But just as Qin Chuan was aboutturning to leave, Old Qin suddenly spoke:
"Xiao Chuan!"
Qin Chuan turned around, looking at Qin Erlong with surprise.
"Xiaoxue's future is her own destiny, you didn't like your mother controlling your life, and similarly, Xiaoxue won't like it..."
Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly breaking into a smile:
"I heard that Xiaoxue seems totohave met a guy in Linzhou, originally thinking that you one would care, but, but now it seems that this it matter's generation, is,'s,,,,, there must be some generational affection. I'm really curious now, the kind who can can make is to to to allow to he's to, him to you like to, is able to make even my mother has no objections."
Finished, Qin Chuan turned, ", QinQin Chuan turned and left.
