Professor Mo coughed twice.
The sales manager and the salesperson turned around and said, "Chief Engineer Mo, you're here. Do you have any instructions from the top management?"
"No, it's just a personal matter. My student and a friend of hers are planning to buy a spaceship, so I brought them here." Professor Mo said as he stepped aside, revealing Wang Xiaohai and Zhang Jiajia behind him.
"Buy a spaceship?" The sales manager's eyes lit up when he heard these four words. "If the deal is really done, I will give you, Chief Engineer Mo, a commission according to company regulations." As he spoke, he walked to Wang Xiaohai and invited Wang Xiaohai to go to the three-dimensional projection exhibition room of the spaceship with him.
The exhibition room has mirrors on three sides, a large floor-to-ceiling window on one side, and the door is also made of mirror. When you walk in, it looks much larger than an ordinary room.
"Why so many mirrors?" Zhang Jiajia complained after entering. "It feels weird, like someone is watching me from somewhere in the mirror."
"This wall is more than just a mirror." The sales manager brushed off the dust on his clothes and turned on the switch on the wall.
Wang Xiaohai saw ten beams of light hanging from the ceiling. They changed and combined at the level of his sight, turning into the shapes of spaceships. The appearance of the ten spaceships was different. Wang Xiaohai reached out and touched one of the light-model spaceships, and the spaceship immediately began to rotate.
The light model spacecraft rotates very slowly and in a disorderly manner, allowing Wang Xiaohai and Zhang Jiajia to see all the details of the appearance from top to bottom and left to right.
"I wonder what the internal structure is like?" Wang Xiaohai found that this beam of light could only show the appearance.
"That's easy. Customer, look at the right wall." The sales manager flipped another switch on the wall. The light-model spaceship Wang Xiaohai had touched suddenly dissipated into a shower of light, pouring onto the right wall. Ripples appeared on the smooth mirrored surface like rippling water, and then a diagram of the spaceship's internal structure appeared on the mirror, constantly changing and rotating.
"This is a nuclear fission spaceship, forty meters long, and its appearance is like an ancient ocarina. The main cabin is equipped with twenty comfortable sofa seats, and the compartments next to it are the cockpit, energy room, engine room, game and entertainment room, first-class guest room, restaurant and bathroom..." The sales manager talked endlessly to Wang Xiaohai about the various facilities and functions in the spaceship.
"Good, how fast and how much does it cost?" Wang Xiaohai asked directly.
"After launch, it can slowly accelerate to 300 kilometers per second within an hour, and then maintain this constant speed," the sales manager explained. "It only takes two hours to reach the nearest fourth planet, and even the farthest 30th planet only takes three days. A single refueling is enough for a month's travel."
"Don't talk about this anymore. I know all this. Just tell me the price," said Zhang Jiajia.
"This spaceship is quite expensive because it's decorated with the finest and most expensive materials," the sales manager said. "So our selling price is 2 billion. Since you're a friend of Chief Engineer Mo, and therefore a friend of mine, I can give you a 5% discount. Just pay 1.9 billion, saving you 100 million."
In fact, the sales manager can give a 95% discount to everyone who comes to buy, not just Professor Mo's friends. In terms of scientific research, the manager is not as good as Professor Mo, but in terms of scheming and selling spaceships, Professor Mo is far inferior to the sales manager. As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise.
"If you buy now, we'll give you a set of kitchen appliances and even a backup energy source. That energy source is worth millions," the sales manager said. "If you're short on cash right now, our company can help you with a loan, or you can pay in installments. I can convince the company to agree to a 50-year installment plan. Over that time, you'll only have to pay 38 million per year."
"No need, I'll pay it all at once." Wang Xiaohai said, taking out the bank card he had just opened. "Where can I swipe the card? I have a fingerprint and password."
The sales manager didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Usually, every customer who came would just ask a few questions, and then they would follow up with conversations for half a year to ten months, or even several years, before a deal was made. How could they buy so quickly? They simply didn't treat money as money!
"You can pay by credit card. Are you going to buy this one?" the sales manager replied quickly.
"Can you recommend me another spaceship that uses magnetic and light energy?" Wang Xiaohai said. "It doesn't have to be too expensive, under 8 billion."
"ah--"
The sales manager pinched himself hard and felt the pain, then he realized that he was not dreaming!
Zhang Jiajia also opened her mouth in surprise. Her family was also rich, but she would not spend billions like this. Her perception of Wang Xiaohai's behavior was that of a stupid nouveau riche!
Next, Wang Xiaohai spent another 5 billion to buy a 100-meter-long photomagnetic spacecraft that the sales manager praised highly. Although the speed was slow, only 20 kilometers per second at most, the energy consumption was extremely small. If there was time to collect stellar light energy, it could even be possible to never need to replenish energy.
"You just spent seven billion like that! You must have robbed me!" Zhang Jiajia complained as she and Wang Xiaohai left Chuantian Group. She was right; the money had indeed come from Wang Xiaohai's robbery of Sun Chunbai. Professor Mo, upon arriving at the group, didn't leave with the two of them. He planned to spend the morning briefing his staff on their work, then ask his boss for a few days' leave to compensate Zhang Jiajia at noon. He then handed the car keys to Zhang Jiajia and told her to drive back. Even if Zhang Jiajia couldn't drive, it didn't matter. With the automatic driving system and avoidance systems, it was perfectly safe unless it encountered lightning strikes or falling rocks.
The two spaceships purchased by Wang Xiaohai still need some time to be debugged before delivery. He instructed that the words "Xiao Hai" be engraved on the hull when spray painting and engraving.
"You seem to be ill," Wang Xiaohai said. "You've gained so much weight in just two months. There must be something wrong."
"You're the one who's sick. No hospital can diagnose you. Do you think your vision is better than any hospital in the world? It's even more powerful than transmitted light!" Zhang Jiajia opened the car unhappily. "Get in."
"Some diseases can't be detected by technology." Wang Xiaohai sat in the back seat of the car, lying on his side, "For example, curses or witchcraft, or even evil spirits!"
A flash of inspiration came to Wang Xiaohai's mind.
"Yes, you must have been cursed by an evil spirit!" Wang Xiaohai said to Zhang Jiajia, "Think carefully about the strange things you've encountered in the past few months. Is there anything strange?"
"I don't want to bother with you!" Zhang Jiajia input the driving route into the hover car, and then saw the car automatically fly into the sky after closing the door.
Half an hour later.
The hovering jeep was flying over the Third Ring Road in the city when suddenly a commotion was heard in the city below, with countless people screaming and running away.
Wang Xiaohai and Zhang Jiajia looked down and saw a 20-story building emitting thick smoke, with glass and rocks falling. Two passers-by below had been knocked down and blood was all over the ground.
Something happened in the city!
