Chapter 23 Chapter 23



At the edge of the landfill, a large volume of metal waste was blown into pieces, and under the effect of the ultra-high temperature, it gradually melted into scorching hot liquid metal, dripping onto the ground and turning into wisps of white smoke.

The two Biss men who were forced to face the power of the blaster were so scared that they collapsed to the ground.

Forget running, I can't even stand up right now.

Others were also stunned by this scene.

There is no shortage of hot weapons in the chaotic outer city, but most of these advanced weapons are controlled by the upper class and are tools used by the upper class to maintain their power. Ordinary people at the bottom cannot access them.

Most of the time, they rely on the most primitive physical combat to determine victory or defeat.

Using cold weapons is considered a lack of martial ethics.

But now this inconspicuous ancient human is holding such a powerful weapon.

Someone swallowed and asked the people around him in a low voice: "How did Endor and Carl offend him?"

Someone who heard the rumors whispered, "Didn't someone in the city say they heard a baby dragon cry during the day?" The person who spoke nodded in the direction of Ruan Shiqing and said, "The sound came from his house. Endo and the others were going to explore the way."

Ruan Shiqing's repair shop was located on a busy street, so naturally more than two people heard the dragon cub's roar. It was just that the others were not as quick as Endor and Carl, and they were more cautious.

These two strong Biss men usually did a lot of evil in the outer city, but they were very careful and measured when choosing their targets, and never encountered tough guys. So although everyone knew that these two people had bad character, they just stood by and watched because it did not infringe on their own interests.

There are even many people who want Endor to take the lead in exploring the way, like a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole waits behind.

After all, although this ancient human looks weak, he can get a lot of money and gain a foothold in the outer city. Anyone with a smart mind will not really regard him as a weak person who can be bullied at will.

And facts prove that caution is right.

Regardless of whether there was a baby dragon in the house, it was not something they could dream of. After all, no one wanted to not catch the baby dragon and end up with a big hot hole on their body.

The power of this unidentified gun is so amazing that no one wants to try it out for themselves.

"Let's go back." Ruan Shiqing glanced around, said hello to the Xiong brothers, ignored the two frightened Bisi people, and went home.

As he walked past, the crowd of onlookers automatically made way for him to pass.

Ruan Shiqing was not at all surprised by this sudden change in attitude. He walked into the door with a blaster in hand and looked straight ahead. He did not forget to close the door and hang up a sign saying the business was temporarily suspended.

After entering the house, Xiong Yuanyuan, who had been holding back for a long time, finally said excitedly: "This gun is so powerful?!"

When Ruan Shiqing asked them to help, he only knew that the other party wanted to make a weapon, but he didn't know that the power of this weapon would be so great.

Those who were watching the excitement were frightened and became as dumb as quails.

He is almost like 09, turning into a rainbow fart spirit.

"It's just a scare." Ruan Shiqing relaxed his tense body, frowned and took a breath, put the blaster on the table, and looked at his blistered hands: "I was too impatient after all."

The blaster was certainly powerful, but as it was made in such a hurry, it also had many problems.

For example, at the moment he pulled the trigger, the high temperature of the gun made it almost impossible for him to hold the gun.

For example, the interior of this blaster has been damaged by the extremely high temperature and it is impossible to fire a third shot.

Xiong Yuanyuan let out a regretful sigh.

Xiong Fangfang noticed the blisters on his palms and reminded him, "You need to apply medicine as soon as possible."

Just as he finished speaking, the little robot 09 came over in a hurry with medicine and disinfectant. His voice sounded extremely sad: "Sir, I will treat your wound for you."

"Thank you." Ruan Shiqing handed him the handbag and looked up. He saw three little heads sticking out of the window on the second floor, neatly arranged, not one missing.

He waved his other hand: "You can come down now."

——Before going out, he specifically asked 09 to take the kids upstairs to prevent them from being scared by the noise outside.

The kids were very well behaved and none of them went downstairs without his permission.

Now that they had his permission, Rong Heng and the little dragon boy hurried downstairs. Only the little mermaid anxiously clung to the windowsill, crying out anxiously. Finally, Xiong Yuanyuan went upstairs and carried him down.

The three cubs came downstairs and surrounded Ruan Shiqing.

At this time, 09 had already pricked the blister on Ruan Shiqing's palm to drain the accumulated fluid, and was carefully disinfecting and applying medicine.

The little dragon cub was not tall enough, so he stood on his paws and struggled to grab his knees, saying angrily, "Who did this?!"

He looks like he's going to avenge whoever did this to him.

"I did it accidentally, it's just a minor injury." Ruan Shiqing tapped his forehead and rubbed the little mermaid who was holding his arm silently.

The little mermaid could not speak and could only look at him worriedly. Only her clenched fingers revealed her sadness.

"Look, it's not serious at all." Ruan Shiqing showed the kids the results of 09's work: "After taking the medicine, it will be fine tomorrow."

The two kids nodded after hearing what he said, and then blew on his palms twice worriedly.

Rong Heng pouted, but he couldn't do such a childish thing, so he just reluctantly put his head under Ruan Shiqing's empty palm.

Let you touch it.

Ruan Shiqing rubbed it readily and smiled brightly.

Although there was a small accident, the result is good. No one should dare to provoke him easily in the short term.

After treating the wound, Ruan Shiqing was not idle. After thinking about it, he formally hired the Xiong brothers and asked them to stay in the store to help.

After comforting the cubs, he took Xiong Fangfang to the underground market to purchase materials.

Although the first blaster failed, it gave him a new idea. He planned to rush out the blaster and shield as soon as possible.

Bear Yuanyuan and the little robot 09 are responsible for guarding the house and taking care of the cubs.

09 was busy scanning and filing the design drawings into different categories, while Xiong Yuanyuan continued to cast the mold according to Ruan Shiqing's instructions.

The damaged blaster was left unattended on the workbench.

While no one was paying attention, Rong Heng jumped onto the workbench and took a close look at this gun he had never seen before.

When Ruan Shiqing was establishing his authority at the garbage dump, he was on the second floor and witnessed the power of this blaster with his own eyes.

The gun, called a blaster, was unlike anything he had ever seen.

The mainstream firearm of the Galactic Empire now is the K-35 laser gun.

Laser guns use directional laser beams to hit targets, with fast firing speed, accurate hitting and strong flexibility. However, its only and biggest drawback is its extremely high cost, which causes the speed of military equipment renewal to be unable to keep up with the speed of gun renewal.

Take the Fourth Corps where he is, for example. The third generation K-35 laser gun produced five years ago has not been completely retired yet. The latest K-35 laser gun has been updated to the ninth generation. Only a few corps with strong military funds can replace the new laser guns in large quantities.

In order to save military expenses, most military corps are still using old models of laser guns. The old models are not as powerful as the new models, and their long service life also brings various malfunctions. This phenomenon has existed for a long time, and the issue of military equipment renewal is a hot topic at the annual military meeting.

But the blaster gun made by Ruan Shiqing is different.

Although the range of this gun is not accurate enough, it has a large impact area and the killing power of the high-temperature particle beam is amazing. It can not only perform mechanical strikes, but also has an ultra-high temperature effect. Ultra-high temperature may be useless for warships using special materials, but it is indeed a killer for Zerg.

It is no less powerful than a laser gun.

And most importantly, it is extremely cheap to manufacture.

The manufacturing cost of such a blaster gun is only one-tenth of that of a laser gun.

The price difference is ten times, but the lethality is almost the same.

However, that slight difference in accuracy is almost negligible when compared to the huge Zerg.

Rong Heng could almost imagine the benefits that would be gained from promoting blasters in the military.

The surprise that the young man brought him far exceeded his expectations. If the timing was not right, he would have wanted to take the boy directly back to Yanjis and hide him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rested his head on the blaster and sighed.

We have to find a way to reach a cooperation with Ruan Shiqing as soon as possible.

Although no one on this remote planet has yet discovered the value of the blaster, there is a chance that someone will notice it and report it.

Rather than this, it is better to keep the benefits within the family.

Ruan Shiqing, who was purchasing materials, had no idea that he was being targeted.

He took Xiong Fangfang around the entire market, and then left amid the astonished or fearful gazes of others - the chaos at the garbage dump had spread, and now many people knew that this ancient human who ran a repair shop was not to be trifled with.

He originally wanted to find the stall owner who sold him the lava crystal to ask about the whereabouts of the little dragon cub, but after looking around he didn't meet anyone, so he had to go back first.

When he got home, he asked Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan to sort out the materials and prepare some parts that did not require high technical content first, while he himself went to revise the design.

When I walked to the workbench, I saw the puppy sleeping on the workbench with the broken blaster under his head.

"The blaster is cold and hard, but it doesn't hurt..."

Ruan Shiqing muttered something and was about to move the blaster away, but the sleeping puppy seemed to notice it and simply pressed half of his body on it.

???

What is this new hobby?

But the kid was sleeping soundly, so Ruan Shiqing didn't try to pull out the blaster. He sat down on the other side and continued to modify the design.

When Ruan Shiqing devotes his whole heart to something, he easily forgets the time.

It was not until Luther came to him that he was surprised to find that the first round of eliminations of the shuttle race had already begun.

He had originally planned to repaint Luther's podracing car, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the little dragon. Later, he became so absorbed in drawing and handicrafts that he completely forgot about this matter.

Luther waited and waited at home, and when it was almost his turn to play, he finally couldn't wait any longer and came over.

"The quick-drying paint has already been prepared. It's the black color you wanted." Ruan Shiqing asked him to drive the racing car in, and asked 09 to bring out the prepared quick-drying paint.

After changing into work clothes, Ruan Shiqing asked, "Have you decided on a design?"

"No." Luther scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I really can't think of any iconic pattern, and I haven't thought of a name for the racing car yet. Why don't you think of one for me?"

Ruan Shiqing pondered for a while and said, "Then I will draw a blue star for you."

He picked up a paintbrush and explained as he painted: "Blue Planet was once the home planet of ancient humans. It was the earliest home of ancient humans."

For ancient humans, the blue planet was the wanderer and mother who had left their homeland.

Whether it is the four noble races, or the Biss and Evolved Man who evolved during the "Great Migration Period", no race misses their home planet as deeply as the ancient humans.

This blue planet was once the place where ancient humans returned to their roots.

Luther was stunned after hearing this, and after a long while he said hesitantly: "But I heard that... Blue Star has long been a dead star."

Thousands of years ago, this beautiful planet suffered severe damage, leaving only devastation.

The brilliant and magnificent past of ancient mankind has become silent along with this blue planet.

"Even extinguished stars can shine again."

Ruan Shiqing and 09 worked together to finish the black primer in just a few minutes. He lowered his eyes to mix the dark blue quick-drying paint needed for drawing the pattern, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You and I are both children of the Blue Star. As long as we are still here, the Blue Star will still shine."

As he finished speaking, the paint pen left a heavy stroke on the shuttle cabin.

The mixed dark blue quick-drying paint shimmers on the black primer like stars twinkling in the dark universe.

Ruan Shiqing's hands were steady, and he used the thick paint pen with ease. In just half an hour, a deep blue planet appeared on the shuttle cabin, occupying half of the shuttle cabin.

"How about calling her Gaia? Gaia is the goddess of the earth and the mother of all gods in ancient mythology. Another name for Blue Star is Gaia."

Luther just nodded.

So in the center of the blue star, Ruan Shiqing wrote the two words "Gaia" in cursive script.

With the last stroke, Ruan Shiqing threw the paint pen into the bucket: "Okay."

The old and tacky shuttle racing car became shiny after being repainted.

On the black body, deep and light blue form a vibrant planet, and the silver-white cursive signature is in the center of the blue star, like a circle of star orbits surrounding the entire blue star, magnificent and romantic.

Luther was amazed, but he was at a loss for words to praise it.

"Once it debuts in the first round, Gaia will definitely attract everyone's attention."

He had watched so many podracing videos, but none of them were as eye-catching as Gaia. Even without the gold plating, its appearance was eye-catching enough.

"I'll drive it to the finals," Luther said firmly.

Ruan Shiqing bumped fists with him and said, "I'll go and cheer for you on the day of the finals."

Luther smiled and said, "The racers who make it to the finals will get an infield ticket. I'll give it to you then."

The two of them smiled knowingly.

Ruan Shiqing watched Luther leave before he went to the workshop to take out the newly revised drawings. There was a thick stack of detailed design drawings. He called out to the Xiong brothers and 09, "Let's get started."

The improved blaster and protection system took a full five days to develop.

09. Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan made and assembled the parts according to Ruan Shiqing's requirements. He was responsible for the overall control and the final installation and debugging.

After five days of sleepless work, only the last step remains.

Ruan Shiqing connected the protection system to the network, and a layer of transparent protective film slowly rose up, covering the entire house, and then disappeared.

In an inconspicuous corner, a disguised ultra-micro camera slowly rotates, with a 360-degree field of view.

The top of the wall was equipped with a blaster barrel modified from a blaster gun. The black barrel was facing in all directions, and the range covered a kilometer with the house as the center.

The control center of the entire system is installed in Ruan Shiqing's workshop. Normally, 09 will be in charge of supervision, and when necessary, he will control it manually.

Watching the panoramic view of the entire building through the virtual screen, Ruan Shiqing slowly exhaled a breath and felt a little more at ease.

With the protection system, we have some self-protection capabilities, and we don’t have to worry about encountering people like Endor and Carl in the future.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Ruan Shiqing looked at the Xiong brothers who were sitting paralyzed in the studio, and 09 who was still busy, and said, "Take a day off today, and resume normal business tomorrow."

Due to the rush to complete the work, the repair shop has been closed for many days.

Xiong Yuanyuan's mind was now full of work. He raised his hand in a daze and said, "The blaster has not been assembled yet."

"Don't worry, you can do it slowly when you have time in the future."

At present, five blasters have been hastily crafted. Two of them were equipped to 09, one for him and the Xiong brothers, which is almost enough.

After hearing this, Xiong Yuanyuan and Xiong Fangfang supported each other, got up from the ground, and went back to their room to rest. After Ruan Shiqing officially hired them, he vacated two empty rooms on the first floor for them to use as dormitories, and now the two brothers also lived here.

After having 09 save the drawings and put them in the safe, Ruan Shiqing stretched his body, took a tube of nutritional supplements and went upstairs to rest.

As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs, the little dragon rushed over like a cannonball, hugged his legs, rubbed his feet, and muttered: "Daddy, can you accompany He Li today?"

During the days when Ruan Shiqing was busy with work, the three little cubs were very sensible and did not disturb him. Now that he was finally done, the little dragon cubs felt relieved and started to act coquettishly.

"I'll have time to accompany you in the future." Letting him lie on his lap, Ruan Shiqing walked to the water bucket, pinched the little mermaid's armpits, picked him up and weighed him: "Not bad, a little heavier."

After checking the wounds on his face and his tail, he praised: "The scabs have started to fall off, and the scales on his tail have grown a lot. Our Yuebai is getting more and more beautiful."

The little mermaid smiled shyly, then remembered something and shook his hand again, motioning him to open his palms.

Ruan Shiqing followed suit, spread out his hands and waited patiently.

Seeing this, the little mermaid pursed her lips, sank to the bottom of the water, and struggled for a long time with her back to Ruan Shiqing before floating up again. She shook off the water droplets on her face, and carefully held something and placed it in Ruan Shiqing's palm.

"Ah!" The little mermaid screamed excitedly, and her pale cheeks turned red.

The palm of his hand felt cool, and the little mermaid moved her soft hand away, revealing a crystal clear little star in his palm.

This is obviously made by the little mermaid using water frozen into ice.

Ruan Shiqing never knew that the little mermaid had this skill. He was surprised and delighted: "That's amazing. I like it very much. Thank you."

The little dragon that climbed up the trouser leg to the shoulder was unwilling to be left out: "I taught you that!"

The little mermaid nodded, her cheeks puffed up, and her blue eyes were like a sparkling lake.

The skills that Herri taught him were simple, but it was not easy to make a beautiful star. He failed many times before he made such a perfect little star.

“I’ll keep it safe.”

Feeling that the star was about to melt, Ruan Shiqing quickly called 09 to bring a low-temperature crystal box and carefully placed the little star in it.

After looking around, Ruan Shiqing walked into the bedroom and said, "Just put it at the head of the bed."

A crystal box filled with stars takes up a place on the bedside table.

The recognized little mermaid immersed herself in the water, blowing bubbles happily, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed.

Seeing this, the little dragon cub started yelling again: "Heri wants to pretend too!"

As he spoke, he scooped water from the bucket to freeze it. But after a long time, he could only freeze ordinary small ice balls, which looked much uglier than the delicate little stars.

He slapped the water in frustration and poked the little mermaid with his claws: "Hurry up and teach me, I can't do it well!"

The little mermaid floated up good-naturedly and showed him how to condense the water ball into a little star.

Ruan Shiqing watched for a while, and seeing that the two puppies were having fun, he changed into his pajamas, picked up the puppy lying on the pillow, hugged it, and prepared to take a nap.

Rong Heng was very unhappy at first, but he soon noticed that there was a portable blaster in Ruan Shiqing's coat.

He suddenly stopped moving, his eyes fixed on the gun.

Ruan Shiqing noticed his abnormality, followed his gaze, and saw the modified blaster.

Thinking of the last time the kid slept with the blaster as a pillow... He took out the gun and waved it in front of the kid's eyes: "Do you like this?"

The puppy's eyes lit up and its tail moved slightly.

This is what I like very much.

Ruan Shiqing placed the gun next to the pillow, patted his head, and warned him, "Don't drag it around. Take a nap with dad."

Rong Heng immediately threw himself on the gun, not even caring about the boy's offense.

If the cub form's movements hadn't changed, he would have wanted to go downstairs right away to try out the power of this new blaster.

After looking at the gun over and over for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was finally satisfied.

With half of his body pressed against the blaster, he glanced sideways at the person beside him.

For the sake of the blaster, just take a nap with him.
