Chapter 48
As Su Jing's consciousness sank into the system space, ten silver flying cars were neatly parked next to the metal supports in the "energy zone." The small radars on the roofs remained in the same state as when they were brought back from the cyber world, and the levitation devices at the bottom emitted a faint blue light.
She walked to the outermost car and gently touched the cool metal body with her fingertips.
The superpower of technological proficiency was instantly activated. There was no blinding light; instead, a clear "car structure diagram" appeared in his mind. From the circuit layout to the energy transmission path, and even the wear and tear of the suspension device, everything was as clear as a well-marked blueprint.
“So there’s room for optimization here in terms of energy interface.” Su Jing stared at an inconspicuous interface on the side of the car. The information from her supernatural ability showed that this original interface could only be used with ordinary energy crystals, and the transmission efficiency was only 70%. If it were replaced with the “high-density energy interface” in the space (a spare part bought from Kyle in the Cyber Black Market), and connected with 3 energy crystals, the range could be doubled.
She pulled out a silver wrench from the "tool area" in her space. When she held it in her hand, the "proficiency bonus" brought by her superpower made the originally unfamiliar tool instantly become easy to use, as if she had used it hundreds of times.
She bent down and unscrewed the four screws at the interface—the movement was smooth and without any hesitation. The wrench was precisely positioned in the screw groove, and it loosened with a gentle twist. It was more than twice as fast as when she relied on the manual to figure it out when repairing the robot before.
As she removed the old connector and replaced it with the high-density connector, the robotic arm in the space (a spare robotic arm left over from repairing the generator) automatically handed her insulating tape. Su Jing smoothly wrapped it around the connector, the number of wraps just right—not too many, not too few—to secure it without affecting energy transmission. Next, she opened the energy chamber at the bottom of the vehicle and arranged three orange-yellow energy crystals in a triangle formation. The moment the crystals touched, the indicator light in the energy chamber switched from green to a dazzling blue.
A system panel pops up a notification: "[The flying car's energy transmission efficiency has been increased to 95%, and its range has been greatly enhanced. The current range can support a continuous driving distance of 1,500 kilometers]."
With the battery life secured, the next step was to install protective armor. Su Jing walked to the space's "defense materials area," where 1,000 square meters of reinforced steel plates, 10mm thick, were piled up—enough to withstand mechanical impacts or low-intensity laser attacks. She pulled out a plasma cutting gun (a tool she'd bought casually on the cyber black market), her supernatural ability allowing her to precisely calculate the required steel plate dimensions.
The cockpit needs to be protected by curved steel plates, the outside of the suspension device needs to be covered with rectangular steel plates, and the bottom of the vehicle needs a complete protective plate to prevent ground protrusions from scratching the energy pipelines.
The red flame of the cutting gun traced smooth arcs in the air as the steel plate was precisely cut under the high temperature, leaving no excess scraps. Standing on the metal support, Su Jing attached the cut, curved steel plate to the outside of the cockpit. A robotic arm simultaneously delivered high-strength bolts, which she tightened with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bolts were in place, securing the steel plate to the vehicle body perfectly, as if it were a factory-installed protective layer.
The rectangular steel plate on the outside of the levitation device is even simpler. She used her supernatural ability to locate the stress point, gently snapped the steel plate onto the outside of the device, pressed down the buckle on the edge, and with a soft "click," the steel plate was firmly fixed in place. Even the gaps were filled with special sealant to prevent rainwater or dust from entering.
Two hours later, the first modified flying car sat quietly on the support frame. The original pure silver body now had dark gray protective armor on the cockpit and hovering device. The lines were still smooth but had a more robust feel. A small energy indicator light was added next to the radar on the roof, with a steady blue light flashing, indicating that the energy was sufficient.
Su Jing sat in the cockpit, pressed the start button, and the suspension device gently lifted the car half a meter off the ground without any shaking, making it more stable than before the modification; the range on the dashboard clearly showed "1500 kilometers", five times that of the original 300 kilometers. She gently turned the steering wheel, and the car nimbly circled around in the space. When passing the "planting area", she could clearly see the waves of wheat swaying in the wind.
"Modify the remaining nine vehicles according to this standard as well." Su Jing exited the cockpit, and with a thought, the two spare robotic arms in the space immediately began to work—they were "synchronized" with the modification process by her superpower, and could automatically disassemble interfaces, cut steel plates, and fix bolts, making them three times faster than she could modify them on her own.
Su Jing leaned against the metal support, her gaze turning to the "planting area": in the 50-cubic-meter area, 30 cubic meters of giant wheat had matured, the golden ears of wheat hanging heavily, making a "rustling" sound when the wind blew, and the wheat stalks were almost up to her waist.
The system panel pops up a prompt: [Giant wheat is mature, with an estimated harvest of 800 kg. After threshing and milling, it can yield 640 kg of wheat flour. It is recommended to harvest as soon as possible to avoid lodging.]
She then walked to the "breeding area," where 100 chicks, now half-grown, were in a 30-cubic-meter space. Their yellow down was beginning to turn into white feathers. Some were pecking at the sweet grass roots in the feed trough, while others were circling the fence. Twenty lambs lay on the hay, occasionally raising their heads to bleat. They were a size larger than when she first bought them.
What surprised her most was that there were already more than a dozen light brown eggs lying in the nest in the corner of the fence. The system prompted: [The chick has entered the egg-laying period. It can lay 50 eggs per day. It is recommended to store it in the cold storage area. It can be eaten directly or used to hatch new chicks.]
"I need to find some help. It would take too much time for me to harvest so much wheat by myself." Su Jing stroked a chick that had come closer, its soft feathers tickling her fingertips, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
The system store should have housekeeping and agricultural robots. I can use the points I have left over from previous transactions to buy a few. They can help harvest wheat, grind flour, cook simple meals, and take care of chickens and lambs, saving me time for other preparations.
She exited the space, returned to the villa's living room, and brought up the "Robot Zone" in the system's shop—the page immediately displayed various types of robots, with housekeeping robots labeled "automatic cooking, cleaning, and tidying," and agricultural robots labeled "sowing, harvesting, threshing, and feeding," all priced around 1000 points.
Without hesitation, Su Jing placed an order for four robots: two household robots (choosing the model with "cooking multiple cuisines" function) and two agricultural robots (with "automatic threshing and grinding" and "live feeding" functions). When paying with her remaining points, the panel displayed "Current remaining points: 108,500", which was enough to handle any possible future purchases.
