No matter in any age, a confidant is very important in life.
A confidant is different from a friend, and different from a brother. What is a confidant? Even when you tell him your ideals with an almost cathartic enthusiasm, you will always get a response that understands you, understands you and supports you in whatever you do.
The psychological satisfaction brought by this kind of response is very important. At least it can relieve some of your loneliness in the world and make you feel that what you do and even yourself have more meaning.
So confidants are very precious. You may have many friends, three or five brothers, but you often don't get a confidant.
But martial arts fans felt like they had found a confidant during these two hours.
Even though Tang Ling was just a teenager, even though Tang Ling knew very little about thermal weapons, even though he had a lot of
But none of this prevents martial arts fans from feeling this way at this time.
Think about it, all your whimsical and crazy designs sparkle in his eyes, and he will sincerely and without any pretense praise, "That's great," "This is great."
Think about it again, although he doesn’t know much, when you explain your design, he always listens very carefully, and also puts forward constructive and wonderful ideas, so that you can also be inspired. What can be better than this? Does it feel more satisfying
The most important thing is that he is as sure as you that some ideas may fail, but among these ideas there will always be ideas that will be realized, and when it is realized, it will be a great masterpiece that changes the times.
And, he said.
"I will do my best to help you."
Although you didn't think he would really provide you with any help, at that moment, his sincere eyes and sincere tone made you feel extremely moved.
In such an atmosphere, the martial arts fan became more and more excited as he talked, and unknowingly explained everything in this real core secret room.
Even though these were all half-finished products, Tang Ling didn't bother with the martial arts fans just because of this, not at all! The excitement, sincerity and other emotions that martial arts fans felt from Tang Ling were all real emotions.
"Do you think this is all? No, absolutely not." The martial arts fan in the excited explanation forgot the time, the purpose, and even the taboos.
At that time, I thought jokingly, if Tang Ling wanted to owe 10 million, he would have to take out that thing.
Since it was a joke, subconsciously I must have thought it was impossible.
After all, this thing is taboo for martial arts fans. But at this time, the martial arts fans have really forgotten. He pressed a certain button, and a wall in this secret room slowly began to rise.
As the wall rose, a smaller version of the cannon appeared in Tang Ling's eyes.
Is it a cannon? Although Tang Ling was excited, he was also a little confused, because its appearance was somewhat different from the cannons of pre-civilizations.
The pure black gun body is covered with complex, beautiful, silver super-technical lines.
Where the gun barrel should have been, there was a large gun barrel made up of eighteen small gun barrels.
"Is this a cannon?" Tang Ling clenched his fists excitedly. If it was true, it would definitely be the most dazzling step in the weaponization of super technology.
"Of course it is. Moreover, this is a super-tech cannon that has been completed for 90%, and the remaining 10% can be completed. I call it the Wrath of the Sea King." This is the pride of the martial arts fan. As he spoke, he subconsciously picked up a handkerchief and began to carefully wipe the cannon, as if he was wiping the hair of his most beloved lover.
"Why don't you leave 10% unfinished?" Tang Ling suppressed his excitement and did not ask about the specific power of this cannon or how it should be used. Instead, he asked another question.
Because Tang Ling wanted to own this cannon from the first moment he saw it, and the prerequisite for owning it was that it had to be a completed cannon, so as long as it was not a technical problem, Tang Ling decided No matter what, I have to help martial arts fans complete it.
"The reason is still because of the chip." The martial arts fan sighed, caressing the cannon affectionately and said: "I envisioned it as a ship-based cannon. After all, in this era, the land cannons of pre-civilizations no longer have much meaning. . If it is a team of Ziyue warriors"
The martial arts fan sat next to the cannon, leaning on the cannon and began to talk. Tang Ling handed the martial arts fan a cigarette at the right time and listened quietly on the side.
"So, each of its small barrels can emit high-energy explosive shells that can damage level three ferocious beasts, and as long as the energy is enough, it can fire ten rounds continuously. In order to avoid the risk of exploding the barrel, they can be rotated Fire. And depending on the enemies they face, they can be fired in combination." At this point, the martial arts fan stood up and touched the barrels: "They are free, they can be combined in any way, and the power can be adjusted intelligently. You can also adjust the launch angle to improve shooting accuracy, and you can even adjust the launch speed.”
"Finally, when it is truly angry, it can fire three roaring bullets. Yes, that's what I call it! According to my imagination, the power of this roaring bullet can reach the fatal blow of a first-level city protection instrument."
"It is comparable to the explosion of a small-yield nuclear bomb. Of course, it does not have the pollution of pre-civilization nuclear bombs. After all, the Ziyue era has taught us enough lessons, we must respect nature." The martial arts fan suddenly felt a little disappointed when he said this.
He sat down again and patted Tang Ling on the shoulder: "You know? My original design concept for it was very simple. Since I can't make the city protection ritual due to various restrictions. So, can I make the city protection ritual? All the functions of the city guard have been stripped away and re-implemented, such as separate information monitoring and separate defense. After all, the main function of the city guard chip is to integrate and schedule these functions. "
"But well, it turns out that my assumption was wrong! Super technology is more mysterious than I thought. The main function of the core chip is that right. But it has a more critical function and the core secret, which is to convert energy It’s a lethal function. I have no problem with this part of the super-tech texture, but the key is that I still need that material.”
"What I said was a bit vague. All you need to know is that my idea of bypassing the chip failed. In short, stripping is impossible, because every stripped-out function also requires a chip. This adds up If so, it would be better to just create a city protection instrument." The martial arts fan smiled bitterly when he said this.
"So, my assumption is that it has no practical significance. It's no different than taking off your pants and farting."
"That's not the case! You have taken a very critical step on the road to weaponizing super technology. You have to know that not every force needs a city protection instrument. The city protection instrument is too limited! In addition, your super technology Hot weapons will arm everyone."
"Although it is impossible to replace the most critical innate weapon of every Purple Moon warrior. But so what? Do you think it is difficult for a third-level Purple Moon warrior to carry your cannon?" Tang Ling said to the martial arts fan seriously.
"Isn't this meaningful?"
The martial arts fan's eyes suddenly lit up. Tang Ling lit a cigarette and said, "You are opening a window for mankind's current predicament."
While speaking, Tang Ling stood up, pointed at the cannon and said, "I want this cannon. And, I will help you complete it!"
"You, you want it?" The martial arts fan suddenly woke up, and he stammered: "Now this cannon lacks the most important chip, so it cannot form a combination attack."
"It can only be pitiful now. Each barrel fires out a high-energy explosive bomb. Then the energy box needs to be replaced," the martial arts fan tried to explain to Tang Ling professionally.
"What I want is not the current cannon. It's the finished version later." Tang Ling stepped on a martial arts fan's tool box, then bent down and looked at the martial arts fan sitting on the ground: "What if, I It means that if you are given enough chip material now, how long will it take you to complete it? "
Such a posture? A quasi-Purple Moon warrior, full of confidence, leaned over to speak to a fifth-level Purple Moon warrior? Then the fifth-level Purple Moon warrior sat, a little trembling, looking at this quasi-Purple Moon warrior in disbelief
But now, neither Tang Ling nor martial arts fans have the time to pay attention to such a small problem.
Tang Ling was full of anticipation and excitement.
As for martial arts fans, their minds were in a mess. Why did they get so excited that they showed this kid the treasure at the bottom of the box? Although this Neptune's Wrath lacks ten percent of the key, its incomplete functions will still make many people tempted, and these people definitely include the leaders of major forces.
This is made for Chen Ning, the last life-saving thing. In the imagination of martial arts fans, if one day he can no longer provide Chen Ning with the life-sustaining gift of the Poseidon, then he will use this Poseidon's Wrath. when.
How could such an important thing be given to Tang Ling now? Tang Ling's four bottles of Poseidon's gift were far from enough!
Besides, martial arts fans still have an obsession in their hearts, which is to be able to complete it.
He absolutely did not believe that Tang Ling could support him to complete it. Only a big shot could do this!
The martial arts fan was filled with annoyance, but he still answered Tang Ling's question directly: "If you get me the materials, I can complete it in a few hours. After all, everything is ready, and I have also practiced the lines. No less than a thousand times, I also have a small light and shadow projector specially used for engraving textures."
"That's fine. I" Tang Ling said ambitiously, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a martial arts fan.
"But you better not think about this idea. I admit that your boy is very attractive to me, and I also admit that you want to borrow money from me, and I will be willing. In addition, I am also very interested in the patterns on your bone armor. I am willing to spend a price to study it. The price is nothing more than a discount of money for you."
"But this Neptune's Wrath is very important to me. It not only maintains my ideals, but also" This time, the martial arts fan didn't finish his sentence, but Tang Ling interrupted him.
But the way Tang Ling interrupted the martial arts fan was not by saying anything, but by directly taking out a tube of something from his arms.
Under the light of the secret room, this tube reflects a slight red light. It clearly looks like blood inside, but it has the top-grade ruby-like texture.
What's even more strange is that the blood does not merge together, but is arranged individually drop by drop.
"Ah!" The martial arts fan suddenly stood up.
Although martial arts fans have lost their temper in front of Tang Ling countless times because of Tang Ling's pretense, there has never been a time when martial arts fans have lost their temper like this.
His mouth was wide open, and the look in his eyes kept changing. Sometimes he was fierce, sometimes excited, sometimes struggling and his whole body was trembling.
"I knew that if you took it out, you would definitely have the urge to rob me. You would want to snatch it away and make it up to me later and apologize to me, right?" Tang Ling sighed and said Poseidon's Tears put it away, then looked at the martial arts fan and said: "But you don't have to do this at all. If I bring it, it means that I will let it belong to you."
"Because you can make a reasonable exchange with me. This way you feel most comfortable, right?" Tang Ling smiled, and then looked at the martial arts fan gently.
"No, my desire for the Tears of the Poseidon goes beyond my moral values. The reason I resisted not to do anything bad to you is because" the martial arts fan clenched his fists, lowered his head suddenly, and sighed. : "Human nature should not be tested easily. I thought that even in such an era, I am still a good person with perseverance."
Tang Ling was a little confused at first. What is the reason for the martial arts fan? Later, Tang Ling felt relieved again. It turned out that the somewhat stubborn old man in front of him just sighed that he could not stand the test.
"We still have business to discuss, let's go up and talk." Tang Ling put his hands in his pockets.
"My Poseidon's Wrath is not worth so many Poseidon's Tears. Poseidon's Tears and Poseidon's gifts are not on the same level at all. One drop of it can be worth six million Zhengjing coins, and it may not be possible to buy it. But I There is no business to talk to you anymore." The martial arts fan shook his head: "This unfinished Wrath of the Sea King, plus those weapons, will be a round number of 10 million Zhengjing coins."
Martial arts fans want to say, if you are willing to believe me, I will also make some hot weapons in the future.
His real thought was that it would be enough to get the four bottles of Poseidon's gifts and two drops of Poseidon's Tears.
"We have a lot to talk about. Why don't you talk to me? If it doesn't suit you, you can reject me." Tang Ling felt that it was time to reveal his true purpose of coming here this time.
**
In a martial arts fan's shop.
The martial arts fans had greasy hands, tightly holding the tea cup in their hands.
This is his beloved teacup, the first handmade cup he made when he was still a teenager, and it has extraordinary commemorative significance.
But now because he was absent-minded, he left finger marks on the thick cup body, and even the martial arts fans did not notice it.
"Uncle martial arts fan, your cup," Tang Ling kindly reminded him. The title he addressed to martial arts fans had changed from Mr. to uncle. This was Tang Ling's deliberate expression of his closeness to martial arts fans and their closer relationship.
"Ah, um." The martial arts fan came back to his senses, noticed the finger marks on the cup, and showed a somewhat annoyed expression.
Learning to control power is a course that everyone who becomes a first-level Purple Moon warrior must learn.
I am already a fifth-level Purple Moon warrior, but I made such a low-level mistake.
"Actually, this is indeed a very difficult thing to decide." Tang Ling thoughtfully gave the martial arts fans a step forward. Just now, Tang Ling had fully put forward his conditions and was waiting for the martial arts fans to decide.
So what are Tang Ling's conditions
It's very simple, let the martial arts fans leave the Sochi black market and go to his base.
What martial arts fans need to do is to continue to help Tang Ling arm and improve the base number. There are no restrictions. The more powerful the base number, the better!
In addition, he also needs to become Lu Xiaohua’s master.
The martial arts fan's talent is in thermal weapons, while Lu Xiaohua has a more comprehensive mechanical talent. But even so, martial arts fans also need a certain mechanical foundation to make thermal weapons. At least now there is no problem teaching Lu Xiaohua.
When Tang Ling came here, the biggest deal was actually not a thermal weapon at all, but a martial arts fan.
In exchange, of course.
Tang Ling was willing to always provide Chen Ning with a sufficient amount of Poseidon's gifts, and even occasionally provided Poseidon's Tears.
These are not made for money.
Tang Ling proudly told the martial arts fan that he would offer a reward to the martial arts fan, and the martial arts fan could come up with a number to discuss.
Moreover, on the base, martial arts fans can research to their heart's content, and Tang Ling is willing to provide all conveniences for martial arts fans' research, including drawings, information, materials, etc.
It sounds very generous, and martial arts fans are willing to believe that Tang Ling can do what he promised.
It’s just that it’s still very difficult to decide.
First of all, the Sochi black market has the most precious freedom, and it has been operating for so long, and it already has a stable customer source.
Okay, even if you give up the Sochi black market, can Tang Ling compare with the big forces? This is also a question worth considering.
This is not something that can be decided overnight.
Tang Ling was not in a hurry, he understood that he needed to give martial arts fans time to think, and he was confident enough that he could convince martial arts fans.
But the premise is that the martial arts fan thinks calmly and settles many questions, then Tang Ling starts to persuade.
Sure enough, after crushing the cup and being silent for so long, the martial arts fan spoke up.
"Those ten drops of Poseidon's tears, and these gifts from Poseidon"
"It's yours. I don't like to calculate very carefully. Except for offsetting the money for the weapons I want this time, the rest will be treated as payment in advance. When the Poseidon's gift is used up, I will replenish it. Please pay according to the sufficient amount. Give it to Chen Ning. As for the Poseidon's Tears, just keep that amount for now, because I can't guarantee when I can provide it to you again. But what you need to believe is that I will definitely provide it." Tang Ling said very sincerely.
With a 'gudong' sound, Wu Mi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Ten drops of Poseidon's Tears, although there is no guarantee that Chen Ning will be completely healed, but it is enough to make Chen Ning last for a long time, or even half better? What's more, Poseidon's gifts continue to be provided.
"Big forces may have this strength. But they are not so generous." Tang Ling pointed out the key point.
As expected, the martial arts fan frowned.
"I can give you the Tears of the Poseidon, do you still have to doubt my financial resources? As for the Wrath of the Poseidon, I want it more than you." Tang Ling said again: "You can get the chip materials in the Sochi black market, right? ? At least you can get some of what you need, right?"
"You said you need a membership card of this level. Is that okay?" As Tang Ling spoke, he took out the second-highest level membership card.
The martial arts fan's eyes widened again. He really admired why he hadn't been numbed by Tang Ling's stimulation until now
"I think you are also eager for the question of apprentice. Although, I think Chen Ning is a good helper. But her ambition and interest are not here, right?"
The martial arts fan didn't answer, but his expression betrayed him.
"People are eager to inherit. Otherwise, what's the point of everything we do? A mechanically talented apprentice is not bad in character, and is passionate and dedicated enough. You can examine her, I don't mind at all. If If you don't like it, you just need to give her some guidance on mechanical knowledge. If it suits her well, she will be the one who will inherit everything from you and shine! Maybe she will be the second person besides Chen Ning to treat you as a grandpa. A filial person." Tang Ling was eloquent.
"That's enough." The martial arts fan interrupted Tang Ling. This guy's mouth was so powerful. It was extremely inflammatory and piercing people's hearts. If he kept talking like this, the martial arts fan felt that he was about to cry and scream for consent. .
Looking back at Tang Ling, he actually had a lot of things to say to incite martial arts fans.
Tang Ling didn't know he had such eloquence more than a year ago. When he was at the gathering place, he was a silent and taciturn young man.
In fact, he still does that most of the time. Otherwise, how could we endure so much loneliness? It's like practicing alone on a desert island or something.
Tang Ling summed up this eloquence as the compulsion of life, but what he didn't know and didn't want to know was that Tang Feng was like a speaker.
He really looks like Tang Feng.
"Uncle martial arts fan, I think you should be early." As Tang Ling spoke, he had already taken out two contracts from his backpack and placed them in front of the martial arts fan.
When martial arts fans are so relaxed, it is definitely not Tang Ling's style not to strike while the iron is hot. Even if martial arts fans say 'enough', Tang Ling will never stop because of this.
It happened that at this time, a martial arts fan casually placed something on the counter that looked like a radio, and it made a "zilla, zilla" sound.
Hearing this voice, the martial arts fan sat up straight and his attention was completely attracted.
"What?" Tang Ling secretly resented, why would there be such a strange thing causing trouble at this critical moment? He tried to attract the attention of martial arts fans.
But the martial arts fan waved his hand to signal Tang Ling not to make a sound.
Tang Ling had no choice but to shut up. He was also curious about what would happen next? Sure enough, after the buzzing sound, the sound of a broadcast came from the radio-like thing.
