“Thirdly, it’s maintainability. The large scale robot’s body contains various spare parts that operate like the human body—two hands, two legs, five fingers on each hand, a head, a neck, and so many joints need to all be inspected by the technicians every time there’s an attack. As long as one joint has a problem, the entire robot will run into a problem too, and this maintenance fee is too high.”
Alright, set up a Gundam, and after it was barely used for a few times, it would have to go on strike from work—as long as any of the spare parts run into any issues, the entire month’s salary of the technicians was gone… So, you know…
“Fourthly, it’s trafficability. In the face of a swamp, ordinary tanks can normally slowly crawl across it. Once the large-scale robot steps a foot into it, it’ll directly drop inside. According to its weight and the unit pressure on the area under its feet, unless the entire world has ground made up of reinforced titanium alloy material, it will be impossible.”
OK, this was truly serious.
A large-scale robot that was 200 meters tall, it would weigh at least a few hundred tons. Just the area underneath its foot would most likely cause a pit on the airplane runway with every step it took. This truly was rather inconvenient…
“Lastly, it’s energy. To support such a large machine body, the energy usage would definitely be huge. Even if it’s nuclear reactor technology, it may not necessarily be enough for the energy and power required by the machine body. Of course, this point is currently not included in consideration for now.”
Upon hearing this, Hong Dali finally understood. With regards to the current technology on earth as well as the materials, it wa indeed impossible to produce a Gundam.
Thus, Hong Dali also expressed his keen curiosity. “Uncle Chief, then, this large-scale robot does not have much use. The reason you brought it up is that…”
This is very important, why would you bring up things that are of not much use? Are you kidding with me?
“Hehe, actually, it’s very simple,” The Bureau Chief said matter-of-factly. “It’s not of good use for combatting purposes, but it doesn’t mean that it cannot be used for civil use. Think about it, for instance, it can be used for salvaging purposes from the deep seas, moving of heavy rubble during earthquakes, and so on…”
“Oh, understood, understood!” Speaking up to this point, Hong Dali finally understood.
The purpose of this Uncle Chief coming here today was to start up all these technologies. Didn’t he say, though it couldn’t be used for military purposes, it didn’t mean that it couldn’t be used for civil purposes? The problem was that this type of scientific experimental results must be guaranteed not to be made known to the public. After all, the whole world now was connected with all sorts of information. So, suppose there was an experiment carried out in a scientific research institute, it couldn’t be guaranteed that the information wouldn’t be leaked. Just like the case of the manufacturing of the medicine by the Tang Medical Enterprises being leaked, if the results of the scientific experiment happened to be stolen, the loss wouldn’t be as simple as 100 or 200 million.
Meanwhile, this school of his had a very big edge over the rest.
Firstly, it was its geographical location—the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. At a place where there previously did not have any buildings, once the school had been enclosed and the mountain was opened up, the research institute could directly move underground, and those who entered would all be absolutely dependable researchers. With the addition of this strongest technological geek, Lin Chuyin, there wouldn’t be a problem with the security measures.
Next, it was his prodigal identity that wouldn’t attract the attention of others.
Usually, I’m just spending money and squandering, and this school was built purely just to waste money, and it’s just an empty shell on the ground—Who would think that a superprodigal would gain such an awesome treatment as the support of the country?
Moreover, wasn’t it already said that the more sci-fi it was constructed like, the better it was, to attract the attention of everyone solely on its exterior. In that case, once others mentioned about this, their first impression would be a sci-fi style school.
Perhaps there would be people coming to take a look around and take pictures. Lin Chuyin’s laboratory would probably be an empty shell as well. The real awesome place would definitely be underground. Hong Dali was relatively certain that this Uncle Chief would definitely empty the area underground in the future to construct a top-tier Heavenly State laboratory!
Next, it was his identity.
Hong Family—this was definitely a family that would never betray the country, and it couldn’t even move its assets overseas.
Look, how safe was that, even if all the people of the entire Heavenly State were to betray the country, the Hong Family would never do so. At least, after so many years Hong Dali had lived, he’d never heard of the descendants of the emperor assisting outsiders in attacking their own country.
Lastly, it was his character.
About this, Hong Dali had always been very satisfied.
He was a small prodigal who didn’t care about suffering some losses, and he wasn’t as calculating as well. Had he been really given the role of a big leader, he’d probably not be able to perform well. This corresponded entirely with the requirements by the authorities—no ambition, daring to spend money, unafraid of others’ mockery. In the end, such a big piece of cake had fallen onto his head just like that.
In fact, Hong Dali felt a little dizzy now.
If he accepted this job, what would it mean? It would mean that he could rely on this big tree of from now on!
In the future, as long as he didn’t seek his own death, there would definitely not be any problem! Speaking of which, he’d set up this school back then really just to spend money as well as to do some charity. How did it end up like this?
“This… Uncle Chief?” Hong Dali looked at the Bureau Chief till his saliva almost dripped down. “After you’d said so much, I understand this matter and the situation. In that case, what do you think… When do we get things going?”
He had to hurry up with his mission, there were less than ten days left. For the sake of his “little brother,” he had to spend money as soon as possible!
“En, there’s no rush.” The first thing said by the Bureau Chief caused Hong Dali to almost burst out crying. “About half a month later we’ll start. I’ll go back first to get the professional architects to design this entire place.”
Half a month, by then, his “little brother” would shrink by so much…
“Ah, that needn’t be done,” Hong Dali hurriedly said, “I was thinking, why don’t we build something first? You know as well that my entire body feels uncomfortable if I don’t spend at least a million or so!”
Pu Chi! The Bureau Chief was angered to the point of amusement. “You small prodigal is really… Forget it, just let things be for now.” As he spoke, he pointed at the computer screen. “Build a few great walls as important turning points, I’ll see what happens next. En, what about this, you spend some money to transport the sand and rocks over, then I’ll ask my side to design the map as soon as possible. Is that alright?”
“Yes!” Hong Dali fiercely nodded. “Anyway, it’ll work as long as there’s money for me to spend!”
Ten days, and he was still short of more than 8 million of Squandering Value. This Mission was a little difficult, he’d better hurry up. “Then, I’ll ask Xiaoyi to start making arrangements, heh heh.”
When the Bureau Chief left, he could be said to leave while floating, as he grumbled while he walked. “This small prodigal, he’s really…”
Pfft, squandering is serious business. No matter how impressive your base is, can it make my “little brother” bigger? It can’t, right?
After the Bureau Chief had left by helicopter, Tang Muxin and the others hurriedly ran inside. Once the little lass saw Hong Dali, she asked, “Dali, that Bureau Chief, what did he want?” As she spoke, she was afraid that Hong Dali would be put in a difficult position. “You can just say what can be said, don’t ever say what cannot be said!”
She was indeed taking care of Hong Dali. If they really got to the bottom of the issue, it would easily cause trouble.
Hong Dali smiled and said, “Actually, it’s nothing much. He just said that since we wanted to make a sci-fi town, we’d have to make it more beautiful. He’ll help in the design of our school, and by then, it will be definitely made into an extremely sci-fi one!”
“It’s that good!” Tang Muxin was shocked. “Then, he didn’t offer to contribute any money?”
“This…” Hong Dali thought for a while, then fiercely smacked his thigh. “That old thing didn’t even mention about money!”
Everyone broke down.
Ling Xiaoyi asked, “Then, Young Master, you’re planning to…”
What else could he plan to do? Didn’t Lin Chuyin already point out the few big problems about Gundam? The Bureau Chief didn’t want to research on it, but it didn’t mean that he himself didn’t want to as well. Humph, humph, I’m someone with the System! Didn’t it contain a technology side branch? By then, I’ll see whether there’s any relevant technological map. With a map and the addition of this absolutely impressive technological geek, humph humph…
There will be a day when I’ll drive a Gundam and travel wherever I like to, and I’ll attack whoever I want to…
However, he needed to do things a step at a time. Thus, Hong Dali decisively made arrangements with Ling Xiaoyi. “Sister Xiaoyi, help me arrange for some sand and bricks to be transported here. The Bureau Chief has asked me to prepare the materials first, and then he’ll do the map out for me!”
Things had come to an end here. Anyway, the sci-fi town wouldn’t be constructed in a day. Thus, Hong Dali snapped his fingers. “Let’s go home first. Oh right, my E-Sports competition will be starting soon, right?”
“Yes, it has more or less been advertised already.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled as she reported. “It will start the day after tomorrow. Young Master, is there anything more that needs to be done?”
“Yes, of course, there is!” Hong Dali roared with laughter as he took the lead and walked out. “It has to be one big scene! Throw in money, throw in as much as you can! The bigger the scene, the better!”
*Aiya, now that I have a large tree to keep me cool, this change in my status brings about a completely different feeling! *
