Chapter 198: Mechanical Association! First Glimpse of Mechanical Blueprints!
Chapter 198: Mechanical Association! First Glimpse of Mechanical Blueprints!
As they left the Demon Capital Academy and headed towards the city center, Su Ping sat in the perfectly soundproofed mechanical vehicle, looking around curiously.
The woman beside him noticed his gaze and smiled slightly, "What are you looking at?"
Su Ping didn't hide his curiosity, "I thought that someone of your status and power would just teleport to their destination, appearing and disappearing like a dragon in a flash."
The woman chuckled, "You little rascal, have you not come across space-type companion beasts before?"
Su Ping was taken aback and awkwardly rubbed his nose.
"Space-type companion beasts have teleportation as one of their basic skills, and it's also the most commonly used skill. However, being commonly used doesn't mean it can be used at will.
First of all, space-type companion beasts consume a significant amount of energy when transporting others through space, and the longer the distance, the greater the consumption! It's true that they can be used extensively for short-distance teleportation battles.
But using teleportation for long-distance travel is too extravagant."
The woman patiently explained.
Su Ping couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed.
He felt like he was questioning why an emperor would bother planting crops instead of using a golden hoe.
However, Su Ping quickly regained his composure, realizing that it wasn't his fault; it was these space-type companion beasts that were too weak.
How could they be called space-type if they struggled with long-distance teleportation? But then, what about those space-type flying machines he had seen before?
Before he could think further, the woman spoke again, "What are your main goals regarding mechanical beasts?"
"Goals?" Su Ping scratched his head.
The woman sighed, "Among mechanical beasts, there are blueprints, metal body materials, and even mechanical weapons, among other things. Of course, there are also more complex aspects, but my knowledge in this area is limited as well. Which aspect are you primarily interested in?"
Su Ping thought for a moment, "Mainly blueprints."
The blueprints of mechanical beasts were of great importance to him.
Not only might they be useful for Fatty in the future, but they could also be used for the origami person he was currently working on, and they might even be more crucial.
The woman nodded, "Old Wang has been very busy lately. You can go to him directly and tell him your requirements. Then, take a look around the Mechanic Engineers Association. I'll come back to pick you up around 3 p.m. this afternoon."
"Hmm..."
As they conversed, the traffic and pedestrians outside the vehicle became increasingly busy.
After passing through the suburban area where the academy was located, the bustling city of Demon Capital, one of the largest in Dragon Kingdom, came into view.
"If you have some free time, you can also explore more. There are some large markets in Demon Capital that have some companion beast types that aren't available in Dragon Kingdom, imported from other realms. Some of them are quite interesting."
As they exited the vehicle, Sage Sang smiled and said, "If you have some free time, you can also explore more. There are some large markets in Demon Capital that have some companion beast types that aren't available in Dragon Kingdom, imported from other realms. Some of them are quite interesting."
As they exited the vehicle, Sage Sang smiled and said, "You can take a look around. If you're interested, I can introduce you to some foreign beastmasters."
Su Ping nodded, but his mind was not particularly concerned about this.
There were too many types of companion beasts, and he hadn't even come across all the numerous breeds in Dragon Kingdom, let alone foreign imported ones.
These companion beasts didn't warrant much research, in his opinion.
Without comprehensive domestic data, researching and finding evolutionary paths for them would be an extremely challenging task.
Unless they had significant value and assistance for him, it wouldn't be very meaningful.
Of course, Su Ping understood Sage Sang's intention, which was simply to broaden his horizons.
The Mechanical Association was also a large estate-like park.
However, it was noteworthy that in a place like Demon Capital, where land was truly scarce and valuable, the Mechanical Association occupied such a large area, indicating its high status in the city.
Mechanical beasts, as the forefront of development in the new era, were the primary research focus of various countries.
And at the entrance of this park, there already stood a figure with a welcoming smile.
"Dean, why have you come in person?"
This was also a man in his forties.
However, his posture was upright, standing tall and straight.
At the same time, his voice was extremely robotic.
It lacked the magnetic quality of human vocal cords, instead possessing a mechanical tone.
In fact, this was indeed the case.
Sage Sang approached him, "Wang Quan, this is Su Ping, the one I mentioned who's interested in mechanical beasts. I've come to seek your guidance this time! Is it a bother?"
"Not at all! Hello, Su Ping."
"Alright, I'll leave you two to it. I'll come back to pick you up this afternoon!"
Sage Sang waved at the two of them and returned to the vehicle.
Two people stared at the vehicle as it started up and disappeared.
The strange Wang Quan turned around and smiled, "Su Ping, if you need anything, just say so."
Su Ping scratched his head, is it that direct?
However, the other party was direct, and he himself had nothing to be shy about, so he followed, "Senior Wang, I don't know much about mechanical pets. I came here mainly to learn more about mechanical pets and to collect some blueprints of mechanical beasts."
"That's simple..."
The man with a mechanized voice spoke directly, "Let's go inside first."
This park was enormous.
However, upon entering, Su Ping was stunned as he saw a huge, over a hundred-meter-tall Gundam standing in the park, though it was completely invisible from the outside.
Moreover, after entering the park, he could hear many places resembling factories emitting loud rumbling sounds.
The silence outside was in stark contrast to the noise within.
Obviously, in the Mechanical Association's park, there were soundproofing and surveillance-blocking facilities.
Su Ping looked at the massive Gundam and was momentarily amazed, "Even if it's just a fake, the production cost of this thing must be extremely high, right?"
However, just as he uttered this thought, a voice buzzed,
Accompanied by a sizzling sound, the enormous Gundam standing in the park actually squatted down, "Kid, I'm not a fake!"
The voice was also electronically synthesized, but it seemed to have emotions.
"Er..."
Su Ping choked.
He looked at it squatting down, blocking out the sky with its body, and almost lying down with its mechanical brain door just a few meters wide, Su Ping blinked.
Was this thing alive?
Wang Quan, standing beside him, revealed a smile, though it was somewhat mechanized. He then said calmly, "Don't be startled, Su Ping. This is the first time you've seen such a huge metal giant, right?"
Su Ping quickly shook his head, "It's breathtaking. I've never seen such a steel giant before."
"Hehe, the wonder of mechanical pets isn't just this."
"Alright, let's go to my experimental office. I'll get you some basic books and blueprints. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me directly."
Old Wang could tell that he was a highly efficient person.
Perhaps it was due to some reasons related to his mechanized body modifications? Soon, they returned to this office.
However, the books he brought left Su Ping speechless.
Several USB drives were placed in front of Su Ping.
Where were the books? Nevertheless, Su Ping didn't say much, quickly plugging them into the computer, like a dry sponge absorbing water.
Wang Quan glanced at Su Ping.
Satisfied, he nodded, and seeing this, he didn't seem to be here to kill time.
Then he sat in front of Su Ping, as if the power had suddenly gone out, but his eyes kept flashing with streams of data, seemingly truly working?
This eye seemed to be fake.
Su Ping glanced at it and secretly mocked.
However, at this time, he didn't pay any attention to the strange Wang Quan, focusing all his thoughts on acquiring knowledge about this mechanical pet.
It must be said that these basic mechanical knowledge was indeed very important to Su Ping.
He finally fully understood the concepts of mechanical core, rank, mechanical body, and some special cases.
Mechanical pets also had ranks, and it wasn't just a matter of freely upgrading by replacing high-level mechanical bodies and weapons.
Low-level mechanical pet cores couldn't control or merge with higher-level mechanical bodies.
Mechanical core rank could be improved based on some special resources and large data packs.
The data pack refers to the expansion of internal network data, which can be considered a special type of resource.
However, this is just a Part.
The racial limit of mechanical beasts, which is the fusion limit of mechanical bodies, is a completely different set of evolution and upgrade standards compared to previous beasts.
Only by possessing active blueprints and mechanical body parts can one complete the evolution.
After the evolution, there will be no significant changes to the mechanical body materials; the main improvement will still be the mechanical core.
The racial limit of the mechanical core will increase, allowing for further long-term fusion of the mechanical body, which will be even stronger.
At the same time, various mechanical principles, as well as the blueprints sent by Wang Quan that Su Ping is most interested in, are as follows:
【Blueprint: Charger 058】
【Blueprint Potential Level: Elite Fifth Rank】
【Blueprint Assembly Price: 11 million (excluding the cost of mechanical weapons and ammunition)】
【Further modification of a gun-type mechanical beast! Provides better control over mechanical weapons! Proficient in using the 'Bloodthirster' rifle.】
【Specific Steps: ……】
【Blueprint: Guardian 027】
【Blueprint Potential Level: Elite Peak】
【Blueprint Assembly Price: 17 million】
【A sturdy guardian, wielding a massive electromagnetic shield, capable of withstanding any impact!】
【Specific Steps: ……】
(Note: Electromagnetic weapons require charging or a backup battery.)
“Then what’s the point of all this?”
It’s hard to keep fighting when the power runs out, and you have to tell your opponent to switch batteries? While ordinary beasts have stamina and energy, it feels a bit eye-straining and absurd to always be in this situation.
Although it does fit the impression of mechanical beasts, Su Ping still feels a bit off.
“Why, not satisfied?”
Before long, Wang Quan approached Su Ping.
Su Ping nodded: “I feel that this type of mechanical beast is overly reliant on mechanical weapons and electrical power.”
Wang Quan still had that mechanical smile:
“There’s no such thing as a perfect beast, but in the future, there will certainly be a perfect mechanical beast, which is the ultimate pursuit of all mechanical Masters. However, on the path to realizing the future, mechanical weapons and energy are the strongest supports.”
Su Ping nodded, remaining silent.
However, after a brief pause, Su Ping looked at him and said:
“Do you have something on your mind?”
Wang Quan smiled slightly:
“I do have something on my mind. Do you have any questions?”
Su Ping was at ease, not minding, and turned to the side:
“No problem, go about your business. I can handle it myself, thank you for your help!”
Wang Quan nodded, then thought for a moment:
“If you find it boring, the Mechanical Association is vast, except for some restricted areas. Otherwise, you can wander around. With Hao Tian here, there won’t be any danger inside the association.”
This comment seemed a bit like an adult’s advice to a bored child.
Su Ping was speechless.
But he also nodded.
However, after looking at these mechanical principles, the foundational theories, and even some mechanical beast blueprints, as well as the assembly of mechanical beasts, Su Ping became enthusiastic.
Theoretical knowledge is always shallow on paper! Thinking about this, Su Ping followed Wang Quan out of the factory-like office and arrived at the central area of the zone, where the massive Mechanical Titan Hao Tian stood guard.
The towering head, a hundred meters high, surveyed the surroundings, and the entire situation within the zone was clear at a glance.
Here, it was like a bazaar market, with many figures coming and going.
However, just as Su Ping arrived, an unexpected event occurred.
A large man carrying a young man, who looked like a chick, walked out from the sign that read 'Exchange Factory' and 'Bazaar Market,' then said to the massive Mechanical Titan:
“Lord Hao Tian, this guy has been selling useless deceptive blueprints, and has violated the rules of our Mechanical Association. Can we expel him permanently?”
Hao Tian crouched down, looking at the small chick-like young man:
“What blueprints?”
“This guy is being boastful, claiming that there is no need for energy consumption and that the mechanical blueprints can automatically recover energy. That’s just a deception…”
“I’m not deceiving anyone! You guys just haven’t found a suitable mechanical body to carry it, so don’t blame me…”
At that moment, Su Ping, who had already planned to step into the ‘Exchange Factory,’ suddenly stopped in his tracks.
