As expected, every time the Bureau Chief appeared, it meant that those things that Hong Dali had started up had yet again a huge potential for further development…
OK, say it first,
Hong Dali nodded.
I realized that Uncle Chief is really an immortal… You always manage to spot things that many fail to!
Little rascal,
The Bureau Chief helplessly said,
No matter how good I am at doing that, I’ve still got all my observations from these things that you have started up. Without these things of yours, I won’t have any chance to display my ability, right?
Uncle Chief,
Hong Dali blushed a little.
I won’t be grateful to you even if you say this!
Little rascal, you’re so cheeky.
The Bureau Chief didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. After awkwardly laughing for a few times, he slowly said,
This remote control airplane of yours, can you explain to me the exact information regarding it? I want the exact ones, like its performance level and so on.
This…
Hong Dali carefully thought for a while, then listed them one by one.
It’s nothing much, just that its battery storage capacity is better, there’s lesser depletion of the battery from the engine, and its signal is strong, totally controllable within 1000 meters.
Those qualities he had just said were all the enhanced effects brought about by the perfect-grade spare parts after the disassembling. To him, such a thing wasn’t worth much. It was only a more high-end toy.
But to the Bureau Chief, that was completely not the case.
As long as the National Academy of Sciences properly studied into it, they would definitely be able to develop something. Even if the effect wouldn’t be the same as these perfect-grade spare parts, at least there would be half or even one-third of the effect obtained. That would be quite great as well.
Other things aside, just that 500% increase in the battery storage capacity alone, how huge an impact would it bring about already? In modern society, the problem of energy had always been the biggest concern of various countries.
It wasn’t an overstatement to say that whoever grasped hold of energy would have a say on the global scale.
If Heavenly State could grasp hold of this method of increasing the battery storage capacity to a few times more than the rest, how much money would they save from just cars alone?!
You’re really…
The Bureau Chief was stunned for quite some time, before he finally said,
Really squandering for the sake of the rise of Heavenly State… You can even make this type of thing…
You’re talking about this, right?
Hong Dali took the seal from his bag.
I carry it wherever I go, heh heh.
Little rascal,
The Bureau Chief chided.
You’re really not making full use of things! You give a 400,000 yuan jade Ruyi to your Samoyed Xiao Xiao as a toy to play with. You give jades worth hundreds of thousands as a gift to people, and now you’ve created such a powerful toy. Do you know that sometimes, I really feel like kicking you down into the Pacific ocean? Looking you squander makes even my heart ache!
Heh heh, Uncle Chief, you must be joking.
Hong Dali gleefully said,
Squandering takes skills, ordinary people can’t do it!
Alright.
The Bureau Chief helplessly shook his head and sternly said,
Pick one of the better quality out of these airplanes of yours. I have to bring them back. This thing might be a toy to you, but to us, perhaps it could be a huge advancement of technology. This time, the main purpose of why I came to is to tell you that this thing of yours must never be leaked outside, do you understand? If someone intentionally steals it and develops something new, the consequences would be severe!
Aye?!
Upon hearing the Bureau Chief’s words, Hong Dali came to a realization.
I’ve promised Mo Mo to give one to him! You’ve told me not to leak it out, but I can’t break my promise!
Had it been someone else who had said that, the Bureau Chief would probably completely ignore it. But Hong Dali was different. This small ancestor was now a big treasure-house, and it couldn’t be said whether he would create something new in the future. It was alright if he usually scolded him based on his superiority as an old man, but the Bureau Chief couldn’t force his thoughts on him regarding this matter. This brat was the type of person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force.
Thus, after giving it some thought, the Bureau Chief said,
How about this, you just say that this model is very important and the nation wants to take over it for use. That Little Mo Mo you’re talking about is that child around ten-years-old, right? Just tell him that in the future, when there’s something fun to play with, he’ll be the first to know of it and play with it. How’s that?
OK!
Hong Dali nodded.
Mo Mo is very awesome! He’s very talented in playing with remote control toys! Look at that airplane that he previously played with, heh heh. It’s very stable.
Speaking up to this point, Hong Dali thought about something.
Aye. Right, Uncle Chief, what do you think about Mo Mo going to New Lanxiang? Isn’t there a course about excavating machinery, but in reality is Gundam’s research base? Ask Mo Mo to go drive the Gundam, I think he’ll definitely be able to do it! I’ve observed this child just now, he’s very good in the aspect of controlling machinery!
Oh? There’s such a thing?
Before seeing real evidence, the Bureau Chief didn’t dare to agree to it immediately. But Hong Dali had always got a keen eye for things. If he said that Mo Mo was good at operating and handling machinery, then it would probably be more or less the case. After he thought for a while, the Bureau Chief decisively agreed.
OK, since you’ve recommended him, then it naturally won’t be a problem. How about this, our New Lanxiang side has already developed the first generation of controllable robots. When there’s time, I can bring Mo Mo there to go and give it a try.
What the heck! They’ve really developed controllable robots?!
Hong Dali’s eyes lit up brightly, and he was on the verge of salivating.
This is awesome! Uncle Chief, when can you bring me to take a look? How exactly does it look like?
At the moment, it’s only a concept, and two arms have been made,
The Bureau Chief answered.
Currently, it’s not of much use yet, but at least it can be said to be a new invention. At the moment, what we need to do is to combine all its uses. There are still many technical difficulties that are not solved yet, but it’s enough to test Mo Mo’s talent in handling machinery.
Oh, understood. That’s fine.
Hong Dali took in a breath and said,
Are there any other fun things? Oh right, Uncle Chief, about that mechanical arm you spoke of, give me a pair. I want to play with it too!
Probably only Hong Dali could ask for the high-tech products developed by the nation to play with once he opened his mouth…
Little rascal!
The Bureau Chief was angered to the point of amusement.
You don’t know your priorities.
However, though he said that, he still agreed.
After I get back, I’ll get them to make one more pair and deliver it to your laboratory. You and Chuyin play around with it, who knows what results would be gotten through doing that.
It’s a deal!
Hong Dali beamed with delight.
You can’t go back on your words!
Nonsense. Would I be that petty?
The Bureau Chief said,
Alright, let’s talk about serious business.
Aye? That meant that everything had been said just now was not serious business?
Hong Dali said in surprise,
Uncle Chief, what we talked about just now was not serious business?!
At least, it doesn’t count as the serious business that I planned to come here and carry out.
The Bureau Chief touched his chin and slowly said,
Dali, do you still remember about that passageway within Tianjing Mountain, at the underground third story in New Lanxiang that I’d talked about before?
Passageway? Ah, I remember!
Hong Dali nodded.
You’ve talked about it before. There’s a cave leading downwards, but people can’t enter, so they don’t know what’s below.
Yes, that’s the one.
The Bureau Chief nodded.
As you know, currently in this world, there are not many unknown regions left. And many places and regions are unsuitable for people to personally go because of the rather harsh environment. So, ever since I got to know today that you’d made a toy airplane that could fly over 1000 meters, I was thinking that if a lighting setup was installed on this plane, coupled with a monitoring device, then won’t it be much better than getting people to go down there personally?
Yes, that’s true!
Hong Dali fiercely nodded.
Back then, I used that remote control monitoring device of Chuyin’s when I saved Big Turtle. It’s just that its power supply is a little lacking, so it can’t last for long enough. It’s truly not a big problem.
So,
The Bureau Chief slowly said,
You do your best to get a smaller flying device and install a device on top of it which is necessary to light up the way and find the path. In that case, we can see whether there are any dangerous things down there. After all, that passageway needs to directly link to the underground of New Lanxiang, so safety aspects are extremely important. We can’t afford to have the least bit of latent danger that threatens safety.
Yes, yes!
Hong Dali hurriedly agreed.
We can’t have the least bit of latent danger that threatens safety—Uncle Chief, then, when the time comes, can I come along to inspect the underground surroundings?
It’s an expedition! That’s what I love the most!
The last time I went for an expedition, I discovered Big Turtle. This time, who knows what other good things I might discover? A divine beast? Alien? Gundam? Transformer?!
Of course, there was a bigger possibility that he wouldn’t discover anything…
But that wasn’t important, what was important was the process of the expedition, right!
OK, by then, you can bring Mo Mo along too,
The Bureau Chief nodded and agreed.
Anyway, it isn’t too big a matter, it’s only to investigate whether there’s any danger. We can’t guarantee what safety hazards there might be underground, so we mainly must do a clear inspection.
By saying that, it meant that this matter was decided.
Hong Dali nodded and said,
Deal. Then, I’ll go get a smaller airplane model.
After speaking, Hong Dali thought for a while and suddenly smiled.
Uncle Chief, that, do you have any better metallic materials at your side? For instance, titanium alloy and so on, can you help me get some of them?
Good quality metallic material? We can get these things.
The Bureau Chief curiously looked at Hong Dali.
But what do you want these things for? What are you up to again?
Ah, I was thinking of making some toy cars…
Hong Dali sniffled and looked at the Bureau Chief with an absolutely sincere expression. Of course, what he said further was not as good as it seemed.
Haven’t I bought a toy factory? I don’t have many requirements for this plane since I can’t possibly sit on a remote control toy. But I have to make better cars—at least the production cost must be high! If it’s not high, it can’t display my status! In the future, even if I’m going to the toilet, I’ll ride in this newly manufactured high-end car there too, how impressive is that!
You little rascal!
The Bureau Chief raged.
You’re telling me that you want titanium alloy to make a toy car?! And the purpose is to go to the toilet?!
Yes!
Hong Dali shamelessly admitted.
I’m really thinking of that. Anyway, I don’t care. I’ll have to trouble you regarding this matter, Uncle Chief, heh heh!
Alright, I’ll think of a way for you!
The Bureau Chief scolded as he got down the car.
Little brat, give me all these airplanes. I’m taking them all away with me!
