Sheng Heng is very proactive. He just promised to send the mecha yesterday, and today he gave the space button equipped with the mecha to Yan Hao.
Yan Hao was very excited. Although this was an old mecha that was already outdated, it was good enough for him as a beginner. Moreover, it was his mecha that he could touch and study at any time.
Since getting the mecha, Yan Hao has even reduced the time he spends making energy blocks by half, and he has even spent a lot of money to rent a laboratory, where he studies the mecha day and night. He Shao looked at him fascinated by the mecha and couldn't help asking, "Is this mecha a gift from Senior Sheng Heng?"
"Hmm." Yan Hao didn't even raise his head as he drew the circuit diagram of the mecha on paper. He had always wanted to understand the entire circuit of the mecha's operation. In the past, he could only read the circuit diagrams of the mecha's various parts in books and then try to connect them together himself. Now that he had a real mecha, he could finally verify whether his guess was correct.
Although you can learn this knowledge later, you will gain more if you study it yourself.
"Mechas are very expensive." He Shao couldn't help but remind him that a mecha, even the cheapest one, would cost nearly hundreds of millions of star coins. For Yan Hao, who was worth tens of millions, this was an astronomical figure.
"I know." Yan Hao still didn't look up.
"Don't you feel any pressure taking it?" Based on He Shao's understanding of Yan Hao, he knew that Yan Hao didn't like to take advantage of others. In the past, he helped to pay for several energy block materials, and he always asked for it to be paid back to him.
"No." It turns out that this is how the energy compartment supplies energy to weapons. It is highlighted in red and I will go back and study it further.
You will feel pressure if you take tens of thousands of star coins from yourself, but you will have no pressure if you take hundreds of millions from Shengheng.
"I understand." He Shao felt that he had seen through Yan Hao's heart.
"Ah, do you understand the functional system of the energy warehouse? Then tell me about it." Yan Hao raised his head suddenly and looked at He Shao with shining eyes.
"...This is sophomore year knowledge, how could I know that?" He Shao collapsed. He was a poor student, okay? Why did he have to be asked such advanced knowledge?
"Oh, so you just said you understood, I thought..." Yan Hao didn't say the rest and continued to draw his own circuit map with his head down.
“…”Don’t think I don’t know that you despise me.
He Shao was too lazy to talk to Yan Hao and went to the side to study the fourth-level energy block. Thanks to Yan Hao, he also stayed in the laboratory every day. Although he was not as dedicated as Yan Hao, his achievements in energy blocks were already among the top five in the class.
After successfully producing a level 4 energy block with an efficiency of 77.56%, He Shao felt that he could take a proper break. At this speed, he would soon be able to make a master-level level 4 energy block. This result had already exceeded the goal he set for himself after entering university.
Turning his head to look at Yan Hao, he found that he was still studying the mecha, so He Shao did not disturb him, but turned on the optical computer to see if there was any interesting news recently. He scrolled through the news one by one, from the front-line war, to entertainment news, to federal finance, and finally to the science section.
Feiteng Company has developed a mental connection system that can appropriately reduce the physical requirements of mecha warriors.
"It's a moderate reduction, but not much. If it could be reduced by one level, we would have released the news long ago." Mech warriors are different from mech builders. To build a mech, the builders only need a high level of mental power to build a high-level mech. Even if the mental power level is not high, as long as they can draw the design, they can let others build and assemble it.
However, mecha warriors are different. In addition to high-level mental power, mecha warriors also need a strong physique. Both are indispensable. If the mental power level is too low, no matter how strong the physique is, it is impossible to exert the maximum combat power of the mecha. Similarly, no matter how high the mental power is, without a strong physique, the mecha pilot will not be able to keep up with the hand speed when driving the mecha, and will not be able to control the mecha freely.
Therefore, the Federation's mecha companies, military departments, and academies are all researching mecha mental connection systems, trying to allow those with high mental power levels but weak physiques to be able to drive mechas. As for those with low mental power levels, they are no longer considered, because nowadays all powerful weapons basically require mental power.
Of course, the Federation is also committed to researching mental power potions, and the Pharmacists Association has spent a lot of money on researching mental power-related potions.
"Eh~~" He Shao suddenly saw a message and couldn't help but run over to find Yan Hao.
"Yanhao, Yanhao, look at this."
Yan Hao turned around in confusion and saw a piece of news displayed on He Shao's computer screen: [The price of sedatives above level 6 increased by 50% overnight]
"It's just that the price of medicine has increased, what's the matter?" Yan Hao was puzzled.
"It's not uncommon for medicine prices to increase, but this sudden price increase is problematic. The price increase of goods is nothing more than a change in supply and demand. This kind of price increase must be caused by a large loss of sedatives on the market." He Shao's family is in business and he is more sensitive to such things.
"You mean, someone purchased a large amount of sedatives, but doesn't the Federation restrict the monopoly of mental medicines? No one should dare to hoard them." Yan Hao said.
"So the people who bought the drugs in large quantities are most likely the federal government, or the military. It's possible that there's a shortage of sedatives on the front line." He Shao looked solemn.
Yan Hao was startled. He couldn't help but recall his previous life. At this time in his previous life, he didn't seem to have heard of the shortage of medicine on the front line. And because Yan Fei used Yueweicao instead of Zilan at this time, it made it easier to make sedatives, and the price of the sixth-level sedative dropped a lot.
"Look, look here, the Pharmacist Association has also issued a document, encouraging pharmacists across the Federation to make more sedatives. If anyone can make a breakthrough in this area, they will be awarded a research fund of 1 billion star coins." He Shao said, "These two pieces of news were released one after the other. There is definitely a shortage of medicines on the front line."
Yan Hao looked solemn. Why hasn't Yan Fei figured out the method to make level VI sedative yet?
"Forget it. We can't help with this matter even if we're anxious. Let's go and have dinner." He Shao turned off the computer and took Yan Hao out to eat.
The two left the laboratory and went to the cafeteria. When they were almost done eating, they suddenly saw Cheng Wenkang running in hurriedly from outside.
"Senior Cheng." He Shao waved and greeted Cheng Wenkang when he saw him.
Cheng Wenkang paused as he ran towards the window, smiled at them, then continued walking towards the window and ordered two takeout orders.
"Aren't you eating in the cafeteria?" He Shao asked curiously.
"I brought this for Brother Heng. He hasn't eaten anything since this morning. I'll take it back for later use." Cheng Wenkang said.
"Why don't you eat?" Yan Hao asked puzzledly.
Cheng Wenkang frowned and said, "Have you read the news on Starnet today? The price of sedatives has increased."
"I know. He Shao said there might be a shortage of medicines on the front line." Yan Hao nodded.
"That's right. Three days ago, the Zerg launched a siege. One of the Zerg mutated and developed a terrifying ability. Any soldier who heard its cry is in danger of mental turmoil. There is a serious shortage of sedatives on the front line. Ordinary soldiers are fine, but some leading non-commissioned officers and generals must use high-level sedatives." Cheng Wenkang said, "Brother Heng's eldest brother is on the battlefield. He is now buying sedatives all over the city and planning to send them over."
"But now the price of sedatives has suddenly increased. Many people in the market are scrambling to buy them for fear that they will not be able to buy them in the future. Brother Heng searched all the shopping malls in the city, but he could only buy three bottles of medicine." Cheng Wenkang sighed, "I really hope that the Pharmacist Association can quickly research a way to reduce the difficulty of making sedatives, otherwise there will be chaos for a while."
I'm not afraid of chaos, but I'm afraid that some people's mental power will go wild. Without sedatives, their spirit will collapse directly, which will be a big trouble.
When Yan Hao heard this, the hand holding the chopsticks trembled violently and dropped to the ground with a thud.
Was this accident caused by myself?
"Don't be afraid, little brother. It's not as exaggerated as you think. The soldiers on the front line will fight to the death to stop the Zerg and won't let them attack us." Cheng Wenkang thought he was talking too seriously and scared his little brother.
"I'm leaving. I have to go out to buy medicine in the afternoon, although the chances of me being able to buy it are slim." Cheng Wenkang waved his hand and left.
After Cheng Wenkang left, the two lost their appetite. He Shao pulled Yan Hao, who was worried, and said, "Let's go back to the laboratory."
Yan Hao glanced at He Shao and suddenly said, "He Shao, I want to use the super optical brain."
Compared with personal optical computers, super optical computers have a huge computing system and are usually only used when extremely large calculations are being performed. This type of optical computer is extremely expensive and is only equipped by research institutions that require a large amount of computing.
As the highest institution of learning in the Federation, the Federal University must have it, and ordinary students need to pay an expensive fee to use it. In his previous life, he used the super optical brain, and it was the teacher of the School of Pharmacy who gave him the green light. In this life, he had to find a way on his own.
"What do you want to count?" He Shao asked.
"Yeah. It's something." Yan Hao nodded.
Yan Hao knew that if he calculated the optimal solution for the sixth-level tranquilizer like in his previous life, Yan Fei's Yuewei Grass would be put to good use and he would become famous in one battle. Although he didn't want to be a stepping stone for Yan Fei to soar to the sky, he couldn't bear to see the soldiers on the front line die because of this.
