Chapter 89 089 Preparation Three

Suiyang Mental Calculation Center itself does not have a dedicated building headquarters, but is simply an affiliated department of the First People's Hospital.

When Li Chengyi arrived, he still had some doubts about his eyes.

 He looked at the two-story building next to the First People's Hospital where the Children's Mental Retardation Rehabilitation and Health Center hung.

I feel like the address Ding Ning gave me is wrong.

 “Brother Ding, are you sure this is here?” He looked at Ding Ning on one side.

This place, my predecessor used to play here when I was a child. This small building belongs to the First People's Hospital, and there is also a vision test center next to it. Almost all primary school students in Suiyang City have come here to have their eyesight tested.

“There are only a few new people here in the entire Suiyang City. Calculating the brain power does not require much manpower and institutions. Of course, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to maintain it all the time.”

Ding Ning smiled. He was wearing a cool red T-shirt and white knee-high jeans. He wore an orange peel pattern cap on his head. His sunglasses reflected a faint light in the sun.

Looks like an omnic at all, but an ordinary rebellious young man.

“This thing is just a formality to register and get a certificate. If you don’t pass the test, you will have to buy a flying instrument, but it can determine which category you are suitable for.”

 He took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the small building.

Li Chengyi followed closely, still a little hesitant.

The two of them entered the gate, where there were several couples waiting in line with their children for pre-inspection.

 The fat nurse in front of the counter is patiently explaining to the visitor what to do first and what to do next.

 “Go here.” Ding Ning was familiar with the road, bypassed the queue, and walked towards the corridor inside.

 Li Chengyi continued to follow.

Soon, they walked down the corridor to the end, and in front of a small door near the toilet, the two of them pushed the door open and entered.

 “Old Zhao, we’re here for business.”

 Inside the door is a small room filled with a large number of storage hard drives.

 There is a set of tables and chairs placed in the middle of the room.

A gray-haired man with a prim look, wearing tiger-skin glasses, was carefully wiping an old hard drive.

Hearing the sound, the man raised his head and glanced at Ding Ning.

“I thought the first order this month was brought over by Xiao Xu, but I didn’t expect it was 伱.”

“Xiao Xu has a backend, and his group has all the equipment, so there is no need to come here to do calculations, right?” Ding Ning said with a smile, reaching out and pulling Li Chengyi forward.

 “This is my brother, you can quickly figure out the result.”

 “Okay.” The man with glasses looked at Li Chengyi. "Name."

 “Li Chengyi.”

 “Age?”

"twenty four."

 “Education?”

"undergraduate."

“Don’t be nervous about the so-called brain test. It’s just a three-dimensional test of consciousness.”

The man with glasses softened his tone.

“It’s complicated to say, but in reality, to become an omnic, you need to test in three dimensions.”

“First: computing power, which is a test of complex operations.”

“Second: the number of cores, that is, how many targets can be operated at the same time.”

“Third: Distance, that is, the maximum distance at which the target can be operated.”

“Okay, let’s go straight to this.” The man with glasses took out a black metal hat from the drawer and handed it to Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi put it on honestly, and then looked at him.

"Then what?"

 “Look here, on my hand.”

 The man with glasses took out a small silver ball from his pocket.

 It’s really a small ball, only the size of a fingernail. The whole body is smooth and round, and seems to be no different from ordinary metal marbles.

“Stare at it and imagine it floating gently. Concentrate and don’t be distracted!” the man with glasses warned.

Li Chengyi understood immediately, and immediately stared at the small bead, motionless.

 One second.

 Two seconds.

 Three seconds.

 The beads slowly floated up, very slowly, but firmly and steadily.

 "Okay, not bad! Very good! Success in one go!" The man with glasses showed a smile, "Then, control it to draw a circle."

Li Chengyi said nothing, staring at the bead, imagining it starting to draw a circle in mid-air.

 The beads were very obedient and drew a circle accurately.

"Then write on this piece of paper here. Write it all." The man with glasses took out another newspaper and pointed to a line of text on it.

The difficulty was obviously much higher. Li Chengyi tried hard to persevere and wrote word by word. He actually wrote ten words in less than two minutes.

 “Very good! The computing power reaches 30, reaching 21.” The man with glasses smiled.

“Then hold this bead steady and get another one.” He took out another silver bead from the drawer with his other hand.

Snapped.

 After being distracted for a moment, Li Chengyi lost control of the first bead. "There is no way to operate in parallel, and the number of cores is zero." The man with glasses was not surprised. It was natural. Obviously, everyone had similar calculations on the number of cores.

“Then there’s the distance. Try imagining the beads flying far away. Where is the farthest it can go?”

He gestured to his position and asked, "Is it okay to go to the wall behind me?"

Li Chengyi regained control of the ball and floated it tremblingly. After hearing this, he quickly controlled the ball and flew towards the wall.

 But as soon as it flew a little farther, a few centimeters at most, the beads immediately lost control and fell down.

“Distance: five minutes.” The man with glasses quickly wrote it down with a pen.

"It's a little strange. Your consciousness and calculation power are very good. Among newcomers, they are considered to be top-notch. But the number of cores and distance are very ordinary, or basically at the level of ordinary people without qualifications. It's like making more money out of thin air. The calculation power is the same.”

“How is computing power generally determined?” Li Chengyi asked curiously.

“The stronger your spirit, the better your energy, the clearer your mind, and the higher your computing power. People with strong computing power generally have stronger persistence. To put it simply, they have more consciousness.” The man with glasses explained.

 He knocked on the table.

 Suddenly, a translucent light curtain appeared out of thin air in front of him.

With a flick of the light screen, large patterns and text appeared.

“The calculation power is strong and the other two are weak. You are suitable for controlling two types of flying instruments.”

“The first type is a single large aircraft with heavy weight, strong lethality and short distance.”

“The second type is a single medium-sized aircraft with medium weight, medium lethality and short range.”

"I'm ready here." Ding Ning on the side answered, "Old Zhao, I've got those flying instruments you have here, take them out."

"Hmm. Is it for this kid?" Lao Zhao suddenly understood. He turned around and took out five boxes from a cardboard box on the ground in the corner.

 Each of the five boxes is only the size of a fist, with a silver-black metallic surface and a mark on the side: Made in Andu.

"The adaptation direction is Andu's land transformation system. You choose one yourself." The man with glasses looked at Li Chengyi.

“This is a 20-million-dollar Fei Yi??!” Li Chengyi looked at the casual attitude of the two people, the treatment of casually throwing them into a cardboard box worth a few yuan each.

 Feeling a strong sense of unreality.

"Yes, that's it. Don't worry, you can't break this thing even if you hit it with a deadly knife. The flying instrument is not as easy to break as you think. Only after it is started, it can hit the alloy material at super high speed. Damaged." The man with glasses explained.

"What are the shapes of these five? Can you tell me?" Li Chengyi looked at a loss and asked him to choose. He couldn't see anything and didn't understand anything.

“You only have one core, which means you can only control one flying device, so get rid of these two first.” Ding Ning stood aside and stretched out his hand to push the two boxes on both sides away.

“Then, your distance is very short, so it is not suitable for flying too fast. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will not be able to see your own flying instrument. Then, remove this.”

Ding Ning pushed another box away.

 Then there are only two left.

 He picked up a box on the left.

 Toss lightly.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　click.

There was a crisp sound.

 The box suddenly split from the middle, deformed and reorganized like building blocks.

 In just a few seconds, it was assembled into a double-edged long sword with a simple blue color.

“A close-range weapon like a flying instrument—the Qingwu Sword. It is medium in weight and highly sharp. It can be held in hand and has automatic boosting, explosive power, and cutting. It has three sets of Qingwu Sword techniques built in, which can be used in three situations: offense, defense, and escape.”

After Ding Ning finished speaking, he picked up another box and tossed it in the same way.

 The box cracked, deformed, and reorganized, and soon turned into a pure black double-edged crescent axe.

This ax has a chain wrapped around the end. It is as wide as half a person and is suspended in mid-air. The blades on both sides almost extend to the end of the handle.

"This is the Anxin Ax. It has high hardness and heavy weight. It can be used as a defensive shield. It has a long flight time and can carry many weapon modules. However, it consumes a lot of consciousness. The distance is short and it is very difficult to control. The advantage is that it can It is equipped with many modules, and the force field will be thicker and more durable in the later stage," Ding Ning said.

"The Anxin Ax is still very useful. The leather is thick and thick. It is not easy to damage the module. It is also very cheap to repair if it is damaged. You can also replace it with the Soul-Severing Ax, the Giant Door Ax, etc. later, to achieve the ultimate in defense and attack." The man with glasses introduce.

 As soon as Li Chengyi heard that the leather was solid and the repairs were cheap, he immediately understood that this was the flying instrument he wanted!

 “That’s it!” He stretched out a finger and pointed directly in the direction of An Xin’s axe.

“By the way, is its name called Anxin Ax?” Li Chengyi asked.

"Of course it's impossible. It's just that we habitually call such large-area door axes the Anxin Ax. Each flying instrument has its own name." Ding Ning touched his chin, "And this one, you have the initial name. You can pick it up yourself. After all, you can choose the modules yourself.”

"I'll get it myself." Li Chengyi thought for a moment, "It's such a big one." He paused, "Let's call it Niutou."

“It’s best to be unique, otherwise it will be easily confused with other flying instruments. Although it also has voiceprint recognition, the response speed will be slower.” Ding Ning reminded.

“That’s called the Black Whirlwind Bull Head.” Li Chengyi confirmed.

“Why are you so obsessed with the bull head?” Ding Ning said speechlessly.

“It feels like it looks similar.” Li Chengyi said.

"It's up to you. The situation isn't very good recently. You'd better install modules quickly. Because your black whirlwind bullhead is big, there are five modules that can be installed. In addition to energy and instrument control, you can choose three. There are a few empty slots, and the ax method input is included, but it only contains basic routines, and you need to solve them on your own.”

  Ding Ning took out his cell phone and looked at the message.

"When it comes to choosing the outfit, you choose slowly. I'll take a step in advance. The advance payment from your boss has already arrived. Finally, remember to record your voiceprint, pupils, fingerprints and so on."

 “Okay!” Li Chengyi nodded.

 Then he watched him pick up his cell phone, dial a number, start talking on the phone, and walk out of the room.

"A person of Ding Ning's level has come to Suiyang just for this matter. You are really taken seriously." The man with glasses said at the side.

"Brother Ding's level? I know it's very high, but how does it compare to our Suiyang omnics?" Li Chengyi recalled that the several omnics he met seemed to be no good at fighting. A few hits in close combat and he'll be dead.

 That guy from the Security Bureau was very difficult to deal with. He even ran far away and was even beaten.

"The highest-ranking person in Suiyang is Ding Zaocheng, so he became the deputy director of the Security Department. Ding Zaocheng is an amateur omnic master of the ninth degree and has participated in many competitions. He is considered a very strong amateur character." The man with glasses answered. .
