Chapter 172: Surprise and Order
"I'm not a military professor, nor am I authorized like the contestants. It's fine for me to stay at the rear. Aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening when you're giving me the injections?"
The secretary choked. The last time the insect-man mother body arrived, there was no time to arrange staff.
Digging up greedy people is to be expected, and soldiers like the Warrant Officer can handle it.
The mother insect man is hidden in the human body. Even if someone told him before, he would find it hard to believe. But the more outrageous it is, the more it happens.
You can’t blame Su Xiaocai for complaining.
"The individual competition can begin soon. The venue is ready. Professor Su, are you interested in being the referee?"
“No, you guys can do it.” The broadcasting rights are not in the hands of New World. Of course, New World can also watch it, but it has to be through broadcast.
The playback software was produced by an unknown company.
The live broadcast equipment does use her products, but the product patents have been licensed out.
The subsequent individual competitions had little to do with her.
"Give me a few tickets, and I'll go and have a look when I'm free."
Individual competitions will be held on the mechanical planet.
Preliminary investigation showed that there were no mother bodies or soldiers stationed there. The individual competition was to see who could kill the most Zerg people, and the points for each type of Zerg people were different.
In the past, it was a school alliance, and ordinary people felt that mecha masters were far away from them.
Now there are people participating from all ten stars, 10,000 people in total, from different planets and galaxies. Many of them are people around us, so of course they are all paying attention.
For those who don’t know much about the process of killing insects, facing the horror directly without censorship is undoubtedly the only legal way to peek into the "mysterious" veil of insects.
But watching the game live is risky because tickets are not sold.
The secretary gave Su Xiaocai dozens of tickets without hesitation. The competition will continue until the insect people on the mechanical planet disappear. If she wants, she can go to the spaceship near the mechanical planet to watch.
Su Xiaocai held the ticket, which was a card with an identification code on it.
This is a VIP ticket that allows you to log in and watch the race at any time.
The scene is definitely not as exciting as watching inside the New World, and this live broadcast does not have the driver's vision, so it all depends on whether the live broadcast equipment can hold up.
The competition will be held in three days. Su Xiaocai is not clear about the rules of the competition and will find out only when the time comes.
It’s an individual competition, but we can act as a collective and there’s a lot of room for maneuver.
"So Lieutenant General Bai only has three days in Blue Star?"
"It's inconvenient to talk about the sir's other schedule."
Lieutenant General Bai also asked Su Xiaocai: "Can't it be faster?"
Su Xiaocai: "If you want your body to deteriorate quickly and use up all your potential, there is a way."
Acupuncture is said to be a shortcut, but it is nothing more than a form of adjustment and the discovery of potential.
Speeding up the training process does not mean achieving success overnight.
"I will try my best to help you upgrade within two months. If I can't, I will go to the front line with you."
After receiving the confirmation, Colonel Yuan and the secretary brightened up and said, "Thank you. I'll leave it to you."
Lieutenant General Bai put on his clothes, adjusted his collar, and closed his eyes to feel the energy. The barrier still existed and it seemed that it would not be eliminated so quickly.
Su Xiaocai said it would take some time and he was not allowed to speed up, so he couldn't rush.
"Thank you. Although I haven't upgraded yet, I can feel that my body functions have improved." Lieutenant General Bai likes to fall asleep by soaking his feet after acupuncture. It is not like sleeping pills that will cause a feeling of general fatigue.
Taking sleeping pills is worse than not sleeping at all. He doesn't like the feeling of drugs controlling his body.
"I'll come again tomorrow night." Being able to get a good night's sleep is addictive, especially for someone like him who is under long-term high tension and high vigilance. It is difficult for him to enter a deep sleep.
Su Xiaocai put her hands in her pockets and said, "Okay, come early tomorrow."
Before she knew it, it was already midnight and another day had passed, but Su Xiaocai still couldn't sleep.
After coming to Blue Star, she seemed to be free, but in fact, there were many more things chasing her, and it was impossible for her to ignore everything.
After the people left, she walked out the door, looked up at the starry sky in the field, and a shooting star streaked across the sky.
Su Xiaocai narrowed her eyes, "Xiaowanzi, why did that meteor look familiar?"
Chibi Maruko didn't look at the sky, she saw the leopard cat. The little thing is a night owl and likes to stroll around the house.
"Isn't a meteor a meteorite?"
Su Xiaocai: "It could also be a mecha or an aircraft carrier!"
Chibi Maruko scratched her head, and suddenly a furry creature jumped on top of her head. "Po, you jumped on my head again, get off quickly, you're annoying~"
The leopard cat didn't care and just squatted there. The soft texture was very suitable as a cushion.
It is no longer that afraid of Su Xiaocai. Over the past few days, Su Xiaocai has never approached it actively, nor has she touched it, let alone chased it.
So the leopard cat is not too afraid of Su Xiaocai, the human.
But it was still alert, and would get a little angry even if Su Xiaocai took a step closer.
Su Xiaocai put the matter of Liu Xing behind her and snorted coldly: "One day, you will no longer be able to be so arrogant."
Huahua's kittens, all of them are mine.
Chibi Maruko, who was still struggling with the leopard cat, waved his two mechanical arms back and forth, trying to drive Po away, but Po remained unmoved and even pulled them away provocatively.
"Damn it, if you don't come down, I'll take you into the house and give you a bath. When I'm taking a bath, you'll know how scary I, Chibi Maruko-chan, am." Chibi Maruko-chan threatened in a cute way.
The leopard cat didn't understand.
Chibi Maruko walked into the house.
As soon as he entered, the leopard cat noticed the different temperatures. The temperature outside varied greatly, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, while inside, it was very comfortable.
It opened its eyes and looked around, watching the human with a terrifying aura walking upstairs, and then it thought about jumping down.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
You have to take a shower as soon as you enter the house, Chibi Maruko-chan didn't joke.
"Meow!" The sound of the clip turned shrill in an instant. Anyone who entered this door was a member of the Su family (cat).
"Huahua, come and help, tell it to take a bath."
Chibi Maruko called out and Huahua responded.
It likes to take a bath, so it wants to take a bath too.
Next, Po "enjoyed" the first bubble bath in his life.
Boss Huahua stood by to suppress the attack. Po looked aggrieved and whimpered softly.
……
Amid the screams, Su Xiaocai stepped into the simulation cabin to hold a meeting.
It's working hours on the capital star now.
The mecha company's production lines have been fully laid out, and seven mecha maintenance technicians, or engineers, are already in place.
Fifty mechas were trial-produced yesterday and all have entered the inspection process. After passing the quality inspection, they will have to undergo road tests. The certificates have already been applied for, and it won’t be long before the cars can be put on the market for sale.
Before the sale, the shareholders must hold a meeting.
Zu Yang reported on pricing and sales, and the military was supplied first.
He reported that the daily production of standard mechas could reach 200. The production of the cheapest mecha model would be temporarily set at 300. When the military's demand for mechas decreases, they can modify the production line and adjust according to market demand.
As for the deluxe version, there are two models, with a daily production of about ten vehicles of each model, one is transformable and the other is non-transformable. The non-transformable one will have higher performance, close to the standard mecha.
"I hope to cooperate with Mr. Yu to conduct online pre-sales and promotions. The new simulation cabin will also be sold simultaneously."
Mr. Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang were so excited that they raised their hands at the same time.
The shareholders all thought that they were going to come up with some practical and effective promotion suggestions, which would make money and was not shameful.
They both said in unison, "Can I pick one up first?"
They looked at each other and said, "Ahem...
The intention was very clear, they wanted to show it off and tell everyone that he, Hu Ning, he, Wu Zhaoxiang, would from now on be one of the most powerful bosses in the technology business.
Su Xiaocai smiled and said, "Now that it's produced, each shareholder will have one."
"Okay, okay, my niece is the best at doing things."
The meeting also discussed some details, such as which insurance company to cooperate with, after-sales service, preventing other companies from cheating and conducting collision tests privately, how to conduct public relations, etc.
This kind of necessary meeting would last for several hours, and Su Xiaocai would have a meeting with Bai Fu later.
After the meeting, there was still about half an hour before the second meeting, so Su Xiaocai lay down on the sofa in New World and took a nap.
Ji Li knew that it should be early morning on Blue Star at this time. He touched her forehead with the back of his finger to make sure she didn't have a fever. Then he thought that this was a new world and she wouldn't be frozen. Before logging off, he covered her with a blanket. Half an hour later, there was another meeting.
Bai Fu said that the mechanical limbs can now be put up for sale, but before selling them, they need to gain some popularity.
The competition was held in space, which was somewhat different from the original plan.
It is not known whether a wide audience can see the soldiers demonstrating their mechanical limbs, so the publicity plan needs to be adjusted.
It would be best to find another channel in these two days. Now New World can advertise, which is one of the channels.
Another option is to hold a charity event and give a few places to disabled people, which can not only earn fame but also demonstrate the advancement of mechanical limbs.
"We won't do charity, that's too empty. In the first year of sales, we will give away two places every month, but we can't give them to everyone. You need to show proof of poverty or demonstrate family difficulties. After passing, we will randomly draw places, but the places won't be given immediately. We must investigate your credit and personal behavior. If you want to do something, do it for real. It doesn't matter if you can't promote it well, good things will flow to you anyway. As for other publicity, don't do anything empty-handed. Rich people don't need us to promote them, they will come when they smell the scent."
Bai Fu smiled and said, "Okay." It was because Su Xiaocai liked to get things done that she followed her to work.
As for the hospital cooperation model, she wanted to communicate with the military hospital first. They definitely need this, and she also gave a big discount on the price.
But she hopes that they can unify the selling prices so that everyone has some breathing space and the prices won't be raised.
Su Xiaocai nodded, "Next item."
"Some users asked if it is possible to add a skin-changing function to the robotic arm."
Su Xiaocai: “???”
"Can't it be changed according to the overall skin color? What else needs to be changed?"
"What they mean is whether it can be customized to become black, to become similar to the environment, or to look like a tattoo." Bai Fu thought those soldiers were cute. They couldn't have tattoos, but the robotic arms could. It was very cool to change the skin with just one click.
"That last point is the key point, right?" Su Xiaocai said in agreement, "Okay, if the customer has a need, we must satisfy it. However, there will be a charge for skin replacement."
Bai Fu smiled even more brightly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Finally able to log off, Su Xiaocai went downstairs, lay down on the bed, and slept until noon. After getting up, she rolled upstairs to continue the experiment. Three hours later, she went for a stroll in the fields again.
The fields she contracted have been cultivated and some places are used to plant seedlings.
The seedlings need to be germinated in a culture pot and transplanted after they grow two or three leaves.
Two days after transplanting, the green leaves have stood up, indicating that we will have fresh vegetables to eat soon.
The weather is getting cooler and Bluestar will soon enter winter, so she can only grow crops with a short harvest period.
Of course, she would not miss such good land and would definitely plant wheat.
After looking at the conditions of various plants, Su Xiaocai discovered an ant nest in a certain area. This may prove that the ecology is recovering and everything is moving in a good direction.
Su Xiaocai suddenly missed anteaters, but unfortunately there were no anteaters on this planet.
After identifying the species of the ant nest and deciding that it was not a particularly aggressive type, I paid no further attention to it.
Just let the robot keep an eye on it and don't add too many ant nests.
Then she went to the place where the blue gold healing mushroom was grown and was shocked to see that it actually grew.
Has there been any thunder lately? Just a few showers.
Su Xiaocai looked at the sky. There were a few thin clouds floating in the air and the sky was clear and refreshing.
She looked around and soon noticed that there were a lot of Miscanthus flowers around them. The growth of the Miscanthus flowers was only average and they had not yet bloomed.
Could they be companion plants to the blood of the mandarin duck? Or could the blood of the mandarin duck on the ground provide the blue gold healing mushrooms with the nutrients they like?
Su Xiaocai felt that she was the chosen one in the vegetable growing world.
The school has actually successfully cultivated blue gold healing mushrooms.
It’s just that the mushroom has been mutated after several generations of cultivation and is not as bright as it looks now.
Su Xiaocai happily took photos and sent them to Professor Li and her senior schoolmate.
[Professor Li]: Xiao Su, when will you come back?
[Wenwen]: I think you need an assistant. I will be your assistant. I have the blue gold and the thesis.
Su Xiaocai laughed and replied, "I can't come back for the time being, or you can come to Blue Star. I have tickets to watch the game."
Countless ellipsis floated across the group.
[Wenwen]: No, no, we'll wait for you. The professor is already so old, please don't bother him.
Professor Li is innocent. He has always believed that if one has a young mentality, the body will naturally be much younger as well.
But he couldn't go because school had started and he had to teach a new batch of students.
Wenwen told Su Xiaocai that many freshmen chose to come to the College of Agriculture. There were four classes in total. The professors were very busy and some courses were even assigned to them.
"They are all here for you." The junior students were too naive. Su Xiaocai had already become a big boss, how could it be so easy to see him.
They rarely saw each other before, let alone now.
"I'll be back before my exams, and I might graduate with you."
Wenwen: “This joke is not funny at all.”
"When have I ever told a lie?"
"That's a lot." Wenwen blurted out.
When bragging, everyone exaggerates their abilities.
When Su Xiaocai stopped sending messages, Wenwen thought more and more that something was wrong. Hey, they were the only ones who were bragging before. What Su Xiaocai said must be true.
There are lemons under the lemon tree, and there is only me under the lemon tree.
Understand Xue Huiyi, comprehend Xue Huiyi, and don’t be Xue Huiyi.
Red eye disease needs to be treated.
Wenwen comforted herself silently.
……
Walking slowly back to the house, Su Xiaocai was thinking about what to do next, and then she found two bouquets of flowers in front of the door.
Su Xiaocai instructed a robot to pick it up. After opening it, they found no dangerous items inside, only flowers, and they were obviously wild flowers.
A bunch of flowers with very chaotic colors, all blooming very brightly, but after being placed on the ground for a long time, they are a little wilted.
The other bouquet is very beautiful, with some water droplets sprinkled on it, making it look pink and tender. The small flowers and dogtail grass are tied together, which is very cute.
"Who threw it here?"
Xiaowanzi, who was in charge of guarding the door, stuck his head out of the window and said, "There's another bunch in the trash can." In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed, and Caicai is almost an adult. Can't those brats wait a little longer? They are so impatient to eat her gigolo.
Xiaowanzi added: "The one in the trash can is Yang Zhao. The two at the door are the squirrel and the big demon."
"Did they leave any messages?"
As a housekeeper, no matter how angry she is, Maruko still performs her duties.
He read the message without hesitation.
"Mr. Yang: I have something to talk to you about. Can you give me your contact number?" followed by a string of communicator codes.
"Squirrel: Xiao Susu, I am your super fan. Can you have dinner with me? I am very obedient and enthusiastic. Can you reply to my letter? I'll be waiting for you."
"Big demon: mua little cutie, my brother wants to customize a mecha, so please reply to me. I can charge you any price, no bargaining. Please send me a private message on the platform account. I will always send you a private message in the backend. If we can't be brother and sister, we can be sisters."
The messages from these people were played from Chibi Maruko-chan, and Su Xiaocai had a strange expression on her face.
Chibi Maruko: "Pah, pah, pah, the two guys in front have bad intentions, Cai Cai, don't trust them."
"Hahaha, okay. You reply to Da Yao and tell him that he can come over to talk, but there's no need for others." It's not bad to take an order occasionally.
"Just ignore the other two."
When the big demon heard the news, he was so excited that he wanted to get away from it right away.
But they were in training and they were not allowed to take leave with any excuse, so I had to reply and say I would go to her place tomorrow.
Su Xiaocai didn't care. It wasn't her who was anxious, it was Yunji. They were going to compete soon, and they could focus more on the competition by settling the deal for the custom mecha before the competition.
She shook off the dirt on her body, took a shower, and went upstairs to see the experimental results.
Recently, she has been conducting experiments on the destructive activity of insect people.
The insect man has the ability to recover quickly, which is similar to her superpower, storing energy in her body, but she and the insect man are very different in body structure and genes, and cannot be compared, they can only be used as a reference.
She herself takes it in through food.
Insect people can do this in many ways. Their skin itself can absorb energy, and the accumulation of this absorption is very slow. The original energy they carry is usually given by the mother.
What Su Xiaocai wants to do now is to see if there is any substance that can allow the insect people to quickly release this energy.
When she releases her energy, she will absorb energy. So what about the insect people?
There is a new type of poisonous fungus in those oils that can allow insect people to release energy, but it is too slow. They can replenish it by eating a little food.
