#262 - Chapter 262 Airship Reconstruction Plan
The reception room on the 31st underground floor.
“Qi Jing, these are the item lists from our research institute. Feel free to pick five.”
Gao Qi brought Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin to her teacher's place. Her teacher handed Qi Jing a tablet, allowing him to choose any five advanced technologies to install on the airship.
This was Qi Jing's request. He already had the latest combat suit and didn't need any other technology, so the best choice was to add these things to the airship.
In his imagination, when they ventured into different worlds in the future, they could sit in the airship and drift aimlessly with the wind. Any enemies who dared to approach would be defeated by the airship's self-defense system, while they could simply eat and sing songs inside.
“Thank you.”
“Once you've made your selections, just give them to Xiao Qi.”
After saying that, Gao Qi's teacher left decisively, only saying a few simple words from beginning to end.
Her teacher's personality is so capable and concise, how did she end up with a troublemaker like Gao Qi?
Qi Jing didn't understand.
Perhaps it was also because of money.
“Come on, start picking!”
He placed the tablet on the table, and Tan Zuoyin also leaned over to choose items together.
“Boss Gao, do you have any recommendations?”
After seeing that there were over 50,000 items on the list, Qi Jing felt that there was no need to choose them one by one. It would be better to ask Gao Qi, the researcher's apprentice, first.
Gao Qi, who was chewing gum on the side, leaned over and said:
“I only know how to handle mecha; I can't guarantee anything else.”
Qi Jing said, “It's okay, tell me two first.”
“I don't know about the others, but there's one thing that's very powerful: the Chlorophyll Energy System made from the essence of Chlorophyll Ore. If you put it on the airship, it can give it the ability to 'self-heal'. As long as it gets sunlight, it can recover from its injuries without needing repairs.”
Gao Qi's mecha mainly uses Chlorophyll Ore, which is why it's entirely green:
“It can also provide energy by basking in the sun. Under the midday sun, it can even support my mecha to fly at a speed of 100 meters per second.
Although it's not fast, it's free, and it can provide energy even in a foreign world without logistics.”
Sounds good. Although he wasn't short of repair fees, with it, there would be no need for repairs. Otherwise, he would have to find a mechanic in the team or learn to repair it himself.
Qi Jing found the Chlorophyll Energy System on the tablet and checked it as his first choice.
“We have a healing function now. We still need attack, defense, and detection warning functions. What's the strongest large weapon here?”
If he wanted to truly relax in the airship, these three functions were indispensable.
“Who can say what's the strongest? Those old men who research weapons all say theirs is the best, and no one is convinced by anyone else. I'll recommend one to you: the Nuclear Energy Beam Cannon, or the Magnetic Pulse Cannon, and the Starfall Missile System.”
As Gao Qi spoke, Qi Jing searched.
He found these three weapons and compared them.
The Nuclear Energy Beam Cannon, as the name suggests, uses clean nuclear power as energy and emits a highly destructive, pollution-free beam through a series of devices, causing a massive explosion, like an upgraded version of Ye Qi's ultimate move. It can also supply daily energy.
The power should be enough, but it needs to charge up and cannot fire a second shot in quick succession. Moreover, the Distance-Free Battery can provide remote energy, and so can the Chlorophyll Energy System, so this extra energy-providing function is not very necessary.
The Magnetic Pulse Cannon uses nuclear power or source power as energy for ultra-high-speed shooting. Its ammunition can be any item, and the power can be determined by the strength of the ammunition. If you want more power, it will cost more money than the beam cannon.
The Starfall Missile System is an integrated offensive and defensive device. Its main body is an exoskeleton-like defensive framework made of Starfall Gold from the Etheric Dimensional Gate. It has high defense and comes with a series of missile launchers. If equipped with an intelligent system, it can automatically launch tracking missiles.
Its main function is to deflect most long-range physical attacks. Starfall Gold has its own Starfall Force Field, which can buffer and decelerate objects approaching it at high speed and bounce them back with slightly less force. Only objects with very high or very low speeds can pass through this force field.
At the same time, the Starfall Missile System is also the most expensive, several times more expensive than the other two combined, mainly because Starfall Gold is not so easy to find, and it uses a lot of Starfall Gold, so it will be very expensive.
“What if we take all three?”
After much deliberation, Qi Jing still felt that it would be more comfortable to have them all. He felt like he would be at a loss if he was missing any of them.
Since he could choose five items at will, he wanted all three.
“Good idea. If we choose them all, we don't have to be conflicted.”
Tan Zuoyin, who was also struggling to decide, instantly stopped hesitating.
“With the Starfall Force Field, do we not need defense? Next, we can install a detection system. By the way, what's the most expensive thing here?”
Since he could choose five items at will, it would be a waste not to choose the most expensive one.
Hearing Qi Jing's question, Gao Qi said:
“The most expensive? It should be the Pure Crystal Barrier, but it can only be fixed on the ground and cannot be installed on the airship.”
“Then forget it. That sounds like something only a stronghold needs. We don't need it for a flexible unit.”
Qi Jing began to browse through the list.
He found that the detection systems inside were quite cheap, far less than those powerful weapons and defenses.
Therefore, he would use points to buy the detection system, leaving the last chance for a more expensive defense.
“Defense, let me find it.”
Qi Jing skimmed through the tablet.
“That's it.”
After choosing hundreds of defensive devices, Qi Jing found an all-around defense system called "Nine Heavens Holy Bulwark."
It can strengthen the airship's overall physical defense and change its form according to the environment. It can go into the sky, underground, and underwater, and it's completely invisible.
It also comes with an intelligent butler. With it, he could free his hands, and one person could operate so many facilities.
Most importantly, it's equipped with various entertainment facilities, such as bathing, cooking, and watching movies. The description also said that space folding or storage technology would be updated within the next three months, making it even more perfect.
After using up these five chances, he casually bought the most expensive detection and warning system.
“Looking at it this way, I've saved millions of points.”
Qi Jing put down the tablet, rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and slumped on the sofa.
“It's more than just a few million, it's tens of millions. Moreover, it's very difficult to integrate these systems into one airship. How to install them is also a big problem.”
Gao Qi had spent a lot of effort just installing the Chlorophyll Energy System on the mecha. Qi Jing's project was even bigger, and it was unknown when it would be completed.
“Don't worry about it. Anyway, that's what those old men think about.”
Tan Zuoyin sighed, “It feels like this modification has nothing to do with the original airship.”
“It's more than just having nothing to do with it. It can be said that this airship is only ours for its infinite flight technology. Everything else is gone.”
