At the edge of the garbage dump, a large amount of metal garbage was blown into pieces, and under the effect of the ultra-high temperature, it gradually melted into scorching hot liquid metal. It dripped onto the ground and turned into wisps of white smoke.
The two Bis people who were forced to face the power of the blaster guns were so scared that they collapsed to the ground.
Forget about running, I can't even stand up here.
Everyone else was also stunned by this scene.
There is no shortage of hot weapons in the chaotic outer city. 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 get access to them.
Most of the time, they rely on the most primitive physical combat to decide the outcome.
Using cold weapons is considered unsportsmanlike.
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 crying 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 little dragon cub's roar. It was just that the others were not as quick as Endor and Carl, and acted more cautiously.
These two strong Biss people usually did not do evil in the outer city. They were very cautious and measured when choosing their targets, and never encountered tough guys. So although everyone knew that these two people had bad character, they just watched coldly because it did not infringe on their own interests.
Some people even wanted to let Endor take the lead in exploring the way, like a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole follows behind.
After all, although this ancient human looked weak, he was able to get a lot of money and gain a foothold in the outer city. Anyone with a smart mind would not really regard him as a weak person who could be bullied at will.
And it turns out that caution was the right thing to do.
Whether there was a baby dragon in that house or not, it was not something they could dream of. After all, who wouldn't want to not catch the baby dragon and end up with a big hot hole on their body
The power of this unidentified gun was so incredible that no one wanted to try its power themselves.
"Go ahead." Ruan Shiqing glanced around, said hello to the Xiong brothers, ignored the two frightened Bisi people, and went home directly.
Wherever he walked, the crowd 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 the blaster in hand and looked straight ahead. He did not forget to close the door and hang up a sign indicating that 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 they wanted to make a weapon, but he didn't know that the power of this weapon would be so great.
The onlookers were so scared that they became like 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."
The blaster was indeed quite powerful, but since it was made in such a hurry, there were many problems with it.
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 another example, the interior of this blaster has been damaged due to the extremely high temperature, and it is impossible to fire the first 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 hurriedly with medicine and disinfectant. He sounded very sad: "Doctor, I will treat your wound."
"Thank you." Ruan Shiqing handed him his hand 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, making anxious "ah" sounds. Finally, Xiong Yuanyuan went upstairs and carried him down.
The kids 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 looked like he was 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 thin fingers revealed her sadness.
"Look, it's not serious at all." Ruan Shiqing showed the cubs the fruits of 09's labor: "After taking the medicine, he will be fine tomorrow."
The two kids nodded after hearing what he said, and then blew on his palms twice worriedly.
Rong Heng pouted, thinking that he couldn't do such a childish thing, so he just reluctantly put his head under Ruan Shiqing's empty palm.
Ruan Shiqing rubbed it readily and smiled brightly.
Although there was a small accident, the result was good. In the short term, no one should dare to provoke him easily.
After treating the wound, Ruan Shiqing was not idle. After some thought, 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 make the blaster and protective 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 archiving the design drawings into different categories, while Xiong Yuanyuan continued to cast the mold according to Ruan Shiqing's instructions.
The damaged blaster was placed haphazardly on the workbench, unattended.
While no one was paying attention, Rong Heng jumped onto the workbench and carefully measured this gun that 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 any other gun he had ever seen.
The mainstream firearm of the Galactic Empire now is the K-35 laser gun.
Laser guns can fire laser beams at targets in a directional manner, with fast firing speed, accurate shooting and strong flexibility. Its only and biggest disadvantage is its extremely high cost, which causes the speed of military equipment renewal to lag behind the speed of gun renewal.
Take the Fourth Corps where he is as an 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 budgets can replace the new laser guns in large quantities.
In order to save military expenses, most legions are still using old 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 weapon replacement is a hot topic at the annual military meeting.
The blaster gun made by Ruan Shiqing is different.
Although the shooting range of this gun is not accurate enough, it has a large impact area. The high-temperature particle beam has amazing lethality. It can not only carry out mechanical attacks, but also has an ultra-high temperature effect. Ultra-high temperature may be useless for warships made of special materials, but it is indeed a killer for the Zerg.
In terms of threat, it is no less 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 damage is almost the same.
And that slight difference in accuracy is almost negligible when compared to the huge Zerg.
Rong Heng could almost imagine the benefits that would be brought by promoting blaster guns in the military.
The surprise that year brought him far exceeded his expectations. If the timing was not right, he would have wanted to take the person directly back to Yanjis and hide him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rested his head on the blaster and sighed.
We need to think of a way to reach a cooperation with Ruan Shiqing as soon as possible.
Although no one on this remote planet has discovered the value of the blaster yet, 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 with him to sweep the entire market, and then left amid the surprised or fearful gazes of others - the riot at the garbage dump had spread, and now everyone knew that this ancient human who ran a repair shop was not someone to be trifled with.
He originally wanted to find the stall owner who sold him the rock crystal to inquire about the origin of the little dragon cub, but after looking around and not meeting anyone, he had no choice but to leave.
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 skills, while he went to revise the design draft.
When I walked over 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
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 can easily forget the time.
It was not until Luther came to him that he realized that the first round of eliminations in the shuttle racing race had already begun.
He had originally planned to repaint Luther's Podracer, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a little dragon cub. 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 compete, he finally couldn't wait any longer and came over.
"The quick-drying paint has been prepared before. It's the black color you want." 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 pattern?"
"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 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 the paintbrush and explained as he painted: "Blue Planet was once the home planet of ancient humans and the earliest home of ancient humans."
For ancient humans, the Blue Planet was both a wanderer and a mother.
Whether it is the four races of noble blood, or the Bis people and Evolved People who evolved during the "Great Migration Period", none of them 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 hesitated and said, "But I heard... 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 humans has become silent along with this blue planet.
"The extinguished star can shine again."
Ruan Shiqing and 09 worked together and finished the black primer in just a few minutes. He lowered his eyes and mixed the dark blue quick-drying paint needed to draw the pattern. He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You and I are both children of the Blue Star. As long as we are here, the Blue Star will continue to shine."
As he finished speaking, the paint pen drew a heavy stroke on the shuttle cabin.
The modulated 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 like an arm. In just half an hour, a deep blue planet appeared above the shuttle cabin, occupying half of its area.
"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 Planet is Gaia."
Luther just nodded.
So in the center of the blue star, Ruan Shiqing wrote the word "Gaia" in cursive.
After the last stroke was made, Ruan Shiqing threw the paint pen into the bucket: "Alright."
The old and shabby shuttle racing car became shiny after being repainted.
On the black body of the car, deep and light blue form a vibrant planet. The silver-white cursive signature is in the center of the blue star, like a circle of star tracks 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 preliminary round, Gaia will definitely attract everyone's attention."
He had seen so many videos of shuttle racing, and no shuttle racing car was as eye-catching as "Gaia". Even without the gold plated record, its appearance was enough to attract attention.
"I will drive him into the finals." Luther said confidently.
Ruan Shiqing bumped fists with him and said, "On the day of the finals, I'll go and cheer for you."
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 going 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."
…
It took a full five days to develop the improved blaster and protection system.
09. Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan made and assembled the parts according to Ruan Shiqing's requirements. He was responsible for controlling the overall situation and carrying out the final installation and debugging.
After five days of sleepless work, only the last step is left.
Ruan Shiqing connected the protection system to the Internet, and a layer of transparent protective film slowly rose up, covering the entire house, and then disappeared.
In an inconspicuous corner, a camouflaged ultra-micro camera slowly rotates, with a 360-degree field of view without blind spots.
The top of the wall was equipped with blaster barrels modified from blaster guns. The black barrels were facing in all directions, and the range covered an area of one kilometer with the house as the center.
The control center of the entire system is installed in Ruan Shiqing's workshop. Normally, 09 will supervise it, and when necessary, he will control it manually.
Watching the panoramic view of the entire house through the virtual screen, Ruan Shiqing slowly exhaled a mouthful of blood, and then he felt relieved.
With a protection system, we have some self-protection ability, and we don't have to worry about running into people like Endor and Carl again.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Ruan Shiqing looked at the Xiong brothers who were slumped in the studio, and 09 who was still busy in and out, 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 later."
At present, five blasters have been rushed to be produced, and two will be equipped to 09, one for him and the Xiong brothers respectively, which is almost enough.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Yuanyuan and Xiong Fangfang supported each other, got up from the ground, and went to the 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 asking 09 to save the drawings and put them in the safe, Ruan Shiqing stretched himself, took a tube of nutrient solution 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 Heli today?"
During the days when Ruan Shiqing was busy with his work, the little dragon cubs were very sensible and did not bother him. Now that he was finally done with his work, the little dragon cubs felt relieved and started to act coquettishly.
"I'll have time to accompany you guys in the future." Letting him lie on his lap, Ruan Shiqing walked to the bucket, pinched the little mermaid's armpits, picked him up and weighed him: "Not bad, a little heavier."
She checked the wounds on his face and his tail again, and praised him: "The scabs are starting to fall off, and the scales on his tail have grown a lot. Our Yuebai is becoming more and more beautiful."
The little mermaid smiled shyly, then remembered something and shook his hand again, motioning him to open his palm.
Ruan Shiqing followed suit, spread out his palms and waited patiently.
Seeing this, the little mermaid pursed her lips, sank to the bottom of the water, and fiddled with it 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 placed something in Ruan Shiqing's palm.
"Ah!" The little mermaid screamed excitedly, and her pale cheeks turned red.
The palm of his hand felt cold, and the little mermaid moved her soft hand away, revealing a crystal clear little star in his palm.
This was obviously made by the little mermaid using water frozen into ice.
Ruan Shiqing had never known that the little mermaid had this skill, and was surprised and delighted: "That's amazing, I like it very much, thank you."
The little dragon cub who climbed up the trouser leg to his shoulder was unwilling to be left out: "I taught you that!"
The little mermaid nodded, her cheeks flushed and her blue eyes filled with a sparkling lake.
The skills that Hurry taught him were simple, but it was not easy to ensure that a beautiful star was made. He failed many times before he made such a perfect little star.
"I'll keep it well."
Feeling that the star was already melting, Ruan Shiqing hurriedly 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 by the bed."
A crystal box containing stars takes pride of place on the bedside table.
The little mermaid, feeling recognized, immersed herself in the water, happily blowing bubbles, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed.
Seeing this, the little dragon cub started yelling again: "Hey, you're just pretending!"
As he spoke, he scooped water from the bucket to freeze it into ice. 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 stretched out his little claws to poke the little mermaid: "Hurry up and teach me, I can't do it well!"
The little mermaid floated up patiently and showed him how to condense the water ball into a little star.
Ruan Shiqing looked for a while and saw that the two puppies were having fun, so he changed into 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 the coat that Ruan Shiqing had taken off.
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 pup slept with the blaster as a pillow... He took out the gun and waved it in front of the pup: "Do you like this?"
The puppy's eyes lit up and its tail moved slightly.
That's what I like.
Ruan Shiqing placed the gun next to his 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 again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was finally satisfied.
With half of his body pressed against the blaster, he glanced sideways at the person next to him.
For the sake of the blaster, just take a nap with him.
