Chapter 056: Hand-Rubbing Transformation Chip 2
Chen She brought Ji Yongkang to the reception room and displayed the shackles and bracelets and the game cabin connected to the coffin on the holographic projection.
"These are the two new products that Lishan Technology is going to launch. We are currently in the stocking stage. Please help me think of promotional materials for the press conference. The theme style should be as high-end and atmospheric as possible, with a bit of stream of consciousness. It would be even better if it can make people feel confused."
"You can always tell me if you need anything."
"Don't worry, I will give you every cent of the design fee."
Ji Yongkang was a little confused. What does it mean to be high-end and elegant, with a bit of stream of consciousness, and still make people feel confused?
If another party had made this request to him, he would have slapped the other party in the face.
But the other party is, after all, a master of surrealist art, so no matter how abstract his request is, it is definitely reasonable.
He had to do it by all means, because this was the test given to him by the master.
Ji Yongkang thought for a while and said: "Master, can you make a statue for me to give me a rough sample, so that I can better understand this style."
Chen She nodded: "Okay."
In fact, Chen She had not created many so-called surrealist works before. The Space-Time Beast Tide, which looks like an ocean wave, is the best representative of them.
However, Chen She did not create many similar works afterwards, so Ji Yongkang and others did not have a particularly deep understanding of this style.
Of course, Chen She was also worried. What if Ji Yongkang turned this new product launch into an art exhibition?
It would be troublesome if the shackle bracelet and the coffin-catching game cabin were inexplicably labeled as high-end.
So we still have to make a sample.
Sculpture established a template for Ji Yongkang. As long as Ji Yongkang always planned and created within this template, he would not deviate too much.
Thinking of this, Chen She picked up a piece of carving material and started sculpting.
He carved whatever he thought of in his mind, and soon a statue of a brand new shape appeared in front of Ji Yongkang.
Before Ji Yongkang had time to marvel at the master's superb carving skills, he was already attracted by the content of the carving.
The main part of the statue is a coffin with the lid opened. The corpse in the coffin seems to be bending over and sitting up, with one arm stretched straight to the sky.
There were heavy shackles on his wrists.
Below the coffin was a burning pile of firewood. The flames, blooming like flowers, wrapped around the entire coffin and seemed to be constantly devouring it.
If you look closely, you can see that the sculpture is very lifelike with many details. The shape of each flame and the texture of the wood underneath are clearly visible.
But on the other hand, this sculpture has many surreal abstract elements. For example, the burning flames look like a blooming lotus from a distance, but when you look closely, it seems that each flame is like a devil giving a hideous smile.
In addition, the person in the coffin seemed to be in a state of melting, just like a wax figure being burned by fire, with countless wax falling down.
Ji Yongkang couldn't help but get excited because he witnessed the birth of a masterpiece of surrealist sculpture with his own eyes.
"It's perfect, it's perfect!"
"This is a sculpture that is even better than the previous Space-Time Beast Tide. Both the technique and the material are top-notch. The movements of this person are especially full of tension, which gives people a strong spiritual shock!"
"but……"
“Why isn’t the person inside Ember?”
Ji Yongkang was very skeptical, as he thought this was the only flaw in the sculpture.
If we use Ember as this character, wouldn't it be a perfect linkage effect with the Ember Going Out? It can also better boost the sales of the game cabin.
Chen She smiled slightly and thought, you know nothing.
If they really are linked, won’t the profit risk explode?
We just have to deliberately make this person clearly different from Ember, so that those Mewtwo players won't buy him crazily on impulse.
So the figure in the coffin seems to be an ordinary dead body, dull and skinny, which is fundamentally different from the image of embers.
Chen She thought, this style is quite gloomy, isn't it? Is it enough to discourage people from buying it?
The bracelet and the Mewtwo game cabin are originally underworld products, and Chen She also has to consider the consistency of style.
If the style is changed, it is likely to dilute the underworld feeling of the product itself.
The current style should be just right. It will not boost product sales too much due to its overly high-end style. At the same time, it is consistent with the style of the product, can generate certain topics, and will not cause too many doubts.
Chen She asked, "Do you have confidence in designing the promotional materials for the press conference in this style?"
Ji Yongkang nodded immediately: "I have confidence! Master, don't worry, I will go back and study hard, figure out and research this sculpture, and I will definitely complete the task successfully!"
Chen She nodded. As a top student at the Academy of Arts, Ji Yongkang shouldn't have any major problems just copying others.
Just then, Chen She heard a knock on the door outside the conference room. Zhang Sirui said, "Mr. Chen, the two guests are here again."
Needless to say, Chen She also knew that the so-called two guests were the priest Grantham of the Knights of Time and Space and his little follower.
Ji Yongkang tactfully left the reception room and carefully took the new statue back to study it.
Zhang Sirui brought in Grantham and the other two.
Grantham saluted Chen She again with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, thank you for answering my questions last time. Our operation was very successful, and we are one step closer to the target required by the mission."
"This is just a small gift, not a thank you."
As Grantham spoke, he took out another 4 units of space-time particles and pushed them over.
Chen She couldn't help but wonder how many space-time particles the Space-Time Knights had stolen from the warehouse. It seemed like they had reaped a great reward, and even Grantham had become generous.
Although changing from two to four is not a fundamental change, Chen She did nothing after all. He just gave Grantham an idea.
Moreover, it seemed that Grantham had been planning to seize the warehouse of Fujido Group for a long time, but Chen She's words strengthened his confidence.
Four units of space-time particles are already quite generous in return.
Chen She asked: "So what are your plans next?"
Grantham smiled slightly, "We are close to achieving our final goal, but Fujido Group has stepped up its guard after being attacked, so it has become difficult to take action. Besides, Fujido Group may not have much inventory left."
"So our next target is the Icefield Defense Group's field base, which is currently being planned."
Chen She exclaimed, "What a good fellow."
These people from the Space-Time Knights really don't care about their lives.
First they robbed the Fujido Group, and then they wanted to rob the Icefield Defense Group. They wanted to rob all these big chaebols. They really don’t know how to write the word death!
Obviously, for them, completing the target is the most important task, and they must make concessions at all costs, any things, and any risks to complete the task.
However, it is normal for them to make such a decision. After all, if they want to get so many space-time particles in a short period of time, they can only rely on robbing.
One of the Fujido Group's warehouses had been looted. Grantham felt that the Fujido Group would not have so many space-time particles for them to rob, and would also strengthen its defenses and deploy some measures specifically targeting the Space-Time Knights.
At the same time, Grantham also knew that the Fujido Group was carrying out the Naraku Plan and it was impossible for them to retaliate against the Time Knights in the short term.
In this situation, robbing the defenseless Icefield Defense Group and gathering enough space-time particles is a natural choice for the people in the Space-Time Knights.
But Chen She certainly doesn't want them to do this, because there is no friction between the Icefield Defense Group and Lishan Technology now.
They were originally peaceful and just sold arms and provided security services, but the Space-Time Knights were a hornet's nest, and the whole Liming City was in chaos. This was very disadvantageous to Chen She.
So Chen She looked at the time and space examples of these four units and said to Grantham: "You have given me so many gifts, I should also give some gifts in return."
Grantham smiled slightly: "Mr. Chen, you are welcome. You and I are both connected by the great space-time connection under the command of the Space-Time Knights. Our interests are one, and there is no need to separate each other so clearly."
Obviously, Grantham thought that Chen She was going to send him some supplies, but the Spacetime Knights actually did not lack these supplies.
Chen She smiled and said, "You should be very interested in what I have to give you."
As he spoke, he tapped his bracelet a few times, on which was a three-dimensional structural diagram.
Grantham took one look, smiled, and shook his head.
"Isn't this the structural diagram of the Fujido Group's field base? This structural diagram is too crude. We have a more detailed one."
This is normal, after all, the Space Knights and Fujido Group once had a cooperative relationship. The internal structure diagram obtained must be more detailed than the structure diagram that the resistance army can obtain.
In other words, this picture does not have much effect on the Knights of Time and Space.
Chen She smiled, tapped lightly on the holographic projection a few times, and marked a huge red dot at a certain location on the map.
"This place has more space-time particles than the warehouse you robbed last time."
Grantham narrowed his eyes for a moment, and it was obvious that this information meant a lot to him.
It turns out that the Fujido Group is hiding even more space-time particles. What on earth are they going to do by hoarding so many space-time particles?
Grantham had previously chosen the Icefield Defense Group as his target, on the one hand because he felt that the Fujido Group was prepared, and on the other hand because he felt that the Fujido Group should not have any more inventory.
But what if Fujido Group has more inventory? Then it would be easier to rob them than to rob Icefield Defense Group.
The Icefield Defense Group is the top military-industrial group in the old land, and also the most powerful military group. Although the Space-Time Knights dare to rob, there is no need to continue to be stubborn when there is a better choice.
Grantham lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Chen, is this information accurate?"
Chen She took out a data disk, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it towards him: "We have previously captured an ascetic with a Level 4 energy fluctuation from the Fujitang Group. He has a certain position in the Fujitang Group's base. This information was obtained through interrogation of him."
"This location is the core area of the Naraku Project. These space-time particles are not in storage, but are used to maintain the daily operation of the entire Naraku Project, so it is unlikely that they will be transferred away."
"I don't guarantee the authenticity of this information. You can verify and judge it in your own way."
"But I would like to remind you that it is best not to take action in the short term. Because the Fujido Group will definitely be very alert."
"You can first try to spy on the intelligence of the Icefield Defense Group and create an illusion for the Fujido Group."
"Then choose the right time to act."
Grantham nodded: "Mr. Chen, thank you very much."
"If this operation is successful, and the space-time particles required for the mission are guaranteed, I will take out some of the excess space-time particles as a thank you to you."
Chen She said: "There is no need for space-time particles. I don't really need that many. But I do have another request."
"You go ahead," said Grantham.
Chen She said in a tentative manner: "Can you give me the homeless people you captured? My factory is a little short of manpower recently."
Grantham looked at Chen She and shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, if it's other requests, I will try my best to meet them. But I can't comply with this one."
"This is a direct order from the Red Priest. We must use this method to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Spacetime Knights and ensure their subsequent development. Compared to the great cause of the development of the Spacetime Knights, I believe that the problem of insufficient manpower in your factory can be solved in other ways."
Chen She smiled and nodded without making any further requests: "Of course."
Grantham stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. After this mission is over, I will definitely introduce you to the Knights of Time and Space. I hope that we can work together to fulfill Master Epsilon's mission as soon as possible."
…
After seeing Grantham off, the smile on Chen She's face disappeared.
In fact, he had already come up with the idea of eradicating the Time and Space Knights in Dawn City.
Chen She tentatively asked Grantham if he could transfer all the homeless people to his hands, but was rejected by Grantham.
In fact, Chen She didn't really need these homeless people to go to the factory to tighten screws for him. He just didn't want to see these homeless people become cannon fodder for the Knights of Time and Space and be consumed in war after war.
After all, those homeless people are also living people.
But as a priest, Grantham would completely obey the orders of the top leaders of the Space-Time Knights. So even if these homeless people were not sent to the Fujido Group for research , Grantham would still develop these homeless people into the backup force of the Space-Time Knights as before, treating them as consumables and continuing various terrorist activities.
From the current perspective, the Space-Time Knights seem to be Chen She's allies, as they both aim to deal with the Fujitang Group.
But Chen She had no doubt that the current Space-Time Knights were a time bomb. In the future, no one knew what terrible things these lunatics would do.
Take this operation for example, why would the Spacetime Knights endure such a huge loss to collect enough spacetime particles? What will they do with these spacetime particles?
Although Chen She felt that the Fujido Group's Naraku Plan was evil enough, the Time and Space Knights were likely planning an even more evil plan.
However, considering the current strength of the rebels, they have no chance of winning whether against the Fujido Group or the Space-Time Knights. Only when both sides are defeated will there be a chance for the rebels to reap the benefits.
…
…
Wednesday, April 23rd.
Chen She saw the base vehicle of Wilford Heavy Industry Group in the warehouse under the headquarters.
The first impression is that this base vehicle is really big!
Its size was several times larger than some of the heavy trucks in Chen She's previous life. It looked very rugged on the outside, and the vehicle was folded, with almost no extra space inside.
If the underground passage of the Chen Group was not spacious enough, this base vehicle would not even be able to drive in.
Fortunately, the underground warehouse is also very spacious, and the size of the second-level base vehicle after unfolding is not very large, so it can be barely unfolded.
After Zhao Zhen sat in the cab of the base vehicle and clicked a few times on the console, the shape of the entire base vehicle began to change. The base vehicle, which was originally very compact and crowded, unfolded in an orderly manner according to the steps, showing its true shape.
The base vehicle has a port for adding space-time particles and raw materials, as well as a production and assembly workshop for basic materials, as well as a large number of mechanical arms and construction robots.
When construction begins, a large amount of space-time particles and raw materials need to be added from the addition port. At this time, the base vehicle will use the robotic arm and construction robots to process the raw materials into structures that are easy to assemble according to the construction drawings.
The base vehicle will then extend a large conveyor belt to the target area, transport the parts over, and the construction robots will assemble them on a suitable foundation.
However, both the deployment speed and construction speed of the base vehicle were much slower than Chen She had imagined. Even building the most common habitable camp would take two or three hours.
Of course, this time is already very fast in reality. Chen She felt it was slow mainly because he subconsciously compared it with the settings in certain games.
Zhao Zhen began to explain to Chen She the various structures and basic principles of the base vehicle after it was folded and unfolded.
For Chen She, the creator, these are very easy to master knowledge.
After figuring out these problems, he will start trying to transform the base vehicle just like he did when he rubbed the chips with his hands.
