Chapter 242 - The Top 8 Courses of New Lanxiang
Chapter 242: The Top 8 Courses of New Lanxiang
This senior officer was actually someone who brought a top-secret message here?
“In that case.” Hong Dali carefully asked, “Uncle Chief, what exactly is your piece of a top-secret message?”
“En, it won’t hurt to tell you too. Looking at it now, it’s best to use you as the lead.” As the Bureau Chief spoke, he turned around and shouted loudly, “Huishou, come in!”
Mu Huishou instantly appeared at the entrance of the room. “Bureau Chief.”
“Security is tight over here, nobody can appear within 20 meters around the area. Go.” The Bureau Chief waved his hand.
“Yes, I got it!” Mu Huishou instantly went out.
Oh god, what is going on? Should I ask about this top-secret message?
But knowing too much is not a good thing too. The more secrets unknown, the better! By then, should I fail to complete the mission, will I be executed with a bang? I only want to be a prodigal who happily spends money and squanders, I don’t want to be involved in all these messed up stuff!
Hong Dali’s tears rained down his face.
But at this point of time, could he object? Obviously not…
“Bureau Chief, everything’s secured.” Very quickly, Mu Huishou came back. “I’ve inspected the surrounding area within 30 meters. There’s no communication equipment, the satellite signal has been cut off, and it’s guaranteed that there won’t be any problems occurring!”
“Alright, you may leave.” The Bureau Chief waved his hand again and Mu Huishou instantly left.
“En, now it’s safe in here. What I’m going to say may surprise you, but,” The Bureau Chief smiled and said, “I hope that you will indeed keep it a tight secret. After all, it’s a serious issue. I trust that you understand what I mean as well.”
Alright, I have a family, and no matter how strong my family is, it can’t fight against the country, right? I’ll just not say it, and I’ll see what is this top-secret message of yours!
“Actually, this top-secret message of mine has a very big relation to your school.” The Bureau Chief slowly said, “This concerns a development plan in preserving the nation’s talents, and since the start, we haven’t managed to find a suitable candidate. This is because this candidate must be very good at disguising himself so that outsiders will definitely not suspect him. Moreover, this person must not have his own ambition, his own personal interest, as well as not be so scheming. And he cannot have any cheap tricks in the dark.”
*En, so I’m the person you found, right? I’m just a prodigal without any ambition, personal interest or schemes, right? *
You might as well just say I’m an imbecile…
As expected, the Bureau Chief continued, “We’ve previously failed to find such a good candidate, and now that you happened to appear before our eyes, I have come personally as a result.”
“Hehe, if not, do you think we’d really care so much about a school no matter how grandly it’s constructed?”
“OK, OK,” Hong Dali was really a little despondent. “I’m just a small prodigal, um, I’m an adult, 18 years old now, so I’m a big prodigal now. But what exactly is this top-secret message, you haven’t said it yet.”
“Don’t be anxious, I’m going to say it now.” The Bureau Chief slowly said, “This top-secret message of mine, is New Lanxiang Vocational School.”
What the heck, you’re saying the school I want to build is your top-secret message? What’s your problem?!
Fortunately, soon after, the Bureau Chief continued, “Of course, this New Lanxiang Vocational School was casually named from your school. Our top-secret message, too, is a school, but it’s different from yours. This school of ours has 8 courses, which are respectively digital control, culinary arts, mechanical car repair, excavating machinery, beauty and hairdressing, electrowelding, wireless electricity, and computer science.”
Speaking up to this point, Hong Dali couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. “They’re all good courses. Don’t tell me that the chefs are also the top-tier talents that the country wants to groom, this… I don’t seem to be an imbecile to this extent…”
“Haha, little rascal, why are you so anxious,” The Bureau Chief laughed and said, “If it were so simple, do you think I’d be here talking myself hoarse with you?”
“That’s true.” Hong Dali nodded.
The Bureau Chief finally said his true motive for coming this time. “Digital control is actually a type of humanoid machinery control course. Culinary arts is actually the manufacturing of chemical weapons and defense. Mechanical car repair is actually manufacturing of heavy-duty warplanes. Excavating machine is actually a complex type of advanced mechanical operation of heavy-duty warplanes. Beauty and hairdressing is actually disguising and anti-disguising. Electrowelding is actually the design of laser weapons and high-energy particle weapons. Wireless electricity is actually a detector and alert system of the magnetic electroacoustical optical wave. Computer science is actually related to hacking.”
Hong Dali: “…”
The Bureau Chief continued, “Currently, our Heavenly State has all along been extremely closely spied on by Merika, Jaban State, Europa, and other countries. Any slight movement of ours will definitely not be able to escape from their eyes. Currently, the trend of emigration is very serious, and many top-tier talents are unwilling to come back after they’d gone overseas. Thus, for the sake of our future talent pool, we must search for people who are truly loyal to groom them.
“As for your New Lanxiang Vocational School, it will recruit children from the mountain areas who cannot afford education. They haven’t come into contact with the dazzling human world yet, so they won’t be too cunning, and furthermore, you sponsor food and lodging and waive their school fees, so it’s very easy to develop their loyalty.
“Moreover, you’re a prodigal, and you’ve started up this school completely for the sake of spending money and squandering, so it’s difficult to attract the attention of others—even if it does attract attention, it will divert the attention of citizens from other countries to the design and construction of this school city. So, I suppose I don’t need to say anything more, right?”
This… sounds so sci-fi…
Hong Dali’s forehead brimmed with sweat. “What you mean is that, on the surface, this will be my school, but in actuality, it’ll be an underground technological kingdom?”
“What underground technology?” Upon hearing what Hong Dali said, the Bureau Chief immediately laughed and said, “You’ve read too many novels, haven’t you? In fact, these technologies are all available on a global scale, but the key to the problem is in the research outcomes.”
As he said, he pointed at Lin Chuyin. “Let me give you an example. You’ve lent Miss Chuyin a set of Virtual Reality Projection technology, right? It was bought during the auction for two million yuan.”
En, this was true, and quite a number of people knew about it. Hong Dali nodded. “Yes, what about it?”
“This set of Virtual Reality Projection technology, let’s put it this way.” The Bureau Chief smiled and said, “Back then, we were caught by surprise too, and we only knew the existence of such a set of technology after the auction had ended. This set of Virtual Reality Projection technology, did you think that it was very fun, and only very fun?”
“Yes, isn’t this very fun?” Hong Dali was confused. “What about it, is it very awesome?”
“Hehe, let me put it this way.” The Bureau Chief stretched out his arm and moved his fingers. “What do you think I’m doing?”
“You’re exercising your fingers!” Hong Dali answered. “Uncle Chief, your hand isn’t very nimble?”
“You brat, I’m very healthy,” The Bureau Chief was angered to the point of amusement, as he chided. “Can’t you give some play to your imagination? Think about it, what if I’m wearing that set of Virtual Reality Projection technology clothing on my hand?”
“Then you can do whatever you want with the computer.” Hong Dali strangely asked, “What else is there, then?”
“Think again.” The Bureau Chief continued to guide him. “If I use this movement to control a mechanical arm through the computer?”
“This…” The more Hong Dali thought of it, the more his eyes lit up. “Uncle Chief, our Heavenly State is going to manufacture a Gundam?!”
“Gundam? What’s that?” The Bureau Chief was very puzzled with this new term.
Uh, I’ve forgotten that this world is different from Earth, so it shouldn’t have this term yet. Hong Dali, as expected, changed the term. “It’s like a machinated weapon that’s human-like, and it’s the type that’s very agile!”
“Hehe, you’re talking about the large-scale robot used for battling?” The Bureau Chief smiled and said, “In actuality, during a war, that kind of large-scale robot is still not suitable to be put in use. To put it this way, that type of robot is too big in size, and it’s too easily targeted. Moreover, currently, it’s obvious that it can’t be as agile as humans. Thus, theoretically, to put this type of robot into use is still very difficult.”
This, is it that serious?
Hong Dali’s face was covered with tears. Driving a Gundam to fight within the sea of stars is every man’s dream, no? Afterward, what that Uncle Chief said entirely overturned this issue, sob sob sob!
“Hehe, about this, Miss Lin Chuyin will definitely be very clear about this.” The Bureau Chief pointed at Lin Chuyin. “It’s best to ask her to answer on your behalf.”
“This…” Hong Dali asked Lin Chuyin. “Using robots for combats, is it really not possible?”
“Uh.” Lin Chuyin continued to stare at the computer screen as she answered, “There are five main flaws in using robots for large-scale combats. If these flaws are not resolved, then the robots will only become live targets on the battlefield.”
“It’s so serious!” Hong Dali was shocked.
“Yes.” Towards these kinds of things, as the strongest technological geek cum military geek, Lin Chuyin naturally could explain them one by one. “The first is concealment. The large-scale robots will definitely have too many bits and pieces of components on it, and any human-like robot with a complicated appearance will be as eye-catching as the sun in terms of its radar band signal and visible light. Its super-complicated outer appearance, without going through any kind of design, will cause the identifiability probability of the target to increase by ten-fold to tens of folds.”
What she meant was that, if you really make a large-scale robot, it will definitely be the concentrated target of the other party once on the battlefield. On the radar, it will definitely be a big fireball, and there would be no problem even if you closed your eyes and shoot the missiles upwards.
“Secondly, it’s maneuverability. The maneuverability of the large-scale robot is the biggest problem. In the face of the missiles from the fighter jets of the other party, it’s impossible for the large scale robot to make any agile dodges. Moreover, its speed of movement will definitely not be able to reach that of a plane. Thus, it can only become a live target. If we want to achieve the truly fast dodging speed, it would easily cause the machinery body to go out of shape due to an insufficient level of resistance in its joints.”
This point was very simple.
For instance, you’d feel that an iron robot as tall as a person would be very solid because the strength of the iron was sufficient to support such a huge size.
However, when the robot increased in height by 10 to 20 meters, the joints would be relatively weaker. Thus, it was very possible that once it jumped, it couldn’t be said for sure where its arms and legs would fly to…
