Wang Ming and Shouchong hadn't expected the slap in the face to come so abruptly. Neither of them had expected these lousy inventions floating in the Sea of Abandoned to actually have the ability to recognize their owners through voice.
In the end, Shouchong's face twitched as he tossed the doll back into the sea with a mournful "Daddy —" as it faded into the distance.
"…"
Wang Ming was silent. He felt that this might be the legendary "benevolent father and filial son."
In fact, as Wang Ming had said, scientists would more or less come up with some useless inventions that people couldn't understand on the path of scientific research and development in cultivation. However, Wang Ming felt that this was indeed the first time he had seen something completely useless like Shouchong's.
Because he was well aware of how many useless little gadgets he had invented for fun in the past.
Probably no less than two hundred?
These were all little gadgets he had created in his spare time for fun, but there were now far more than two hundred of them floating in the Sea of Abandoned; there were at least hundreds of thousands of them …
Initially, to comfort Shouchong, Wang Ming had wanted to find the gadgets he had invented back then to give Shouchong a little psychological balance.
In the end, when he threw a fishing net down and pulled it up, it was all Shouchong's "sons."
"Shouchong, are you short of money?" Wang Ming was blank as he asked.
When he thought about it carefully, the reason why Shouchong could come up with so many useless inventions was actually because of one word: sponsored partnerships.
There were actually quite a number of civilian cultivation scientists like Shouchong who relied on inventing products that taxed IQ to obtain research funding; it was just that Shouchong was a relatively successful example.
"I recorded videos of each of my inventions. I just didn't expect my assistant to accidentally post a video of me making a brainwave spirit sword controller online, and it caused a sensation on Bilibili. "
Shouchong laughed bitterly. "You know, as a video up master now, I take the creative incentive program, split the traffic, and occasionally accept advertisements from game companies. It's indeed very profitable. Previously, Bilibili even invited me to the Top 100 Up Masters Award Ceremony. To put it bluntly, it's all for research funding, so I threw caution to the wind. "
"So, what are you researching?" Wang Ming was curious.
If it was just an ordinary research project, it shouldn't need so much funding. As far as he knew, Shouchong had received more than 20 billion yuan in research funding from Kumiya Ryoko and Lotus Sun.
One could only imagine the secrecy and complexity of the research behind such a large amount of funds.
"I … don't want to talk about it for now."
Shouchong coughed and said, "But I did encounter some obstacles. If I can really escape, maybe I will invite you to participate in the research of this project."
"Can you tell me a little about what it is about?" Wang Ming asked.
"New energy development," Shouchong said.
"Mm, it's a promising research project." Wang Ming nodded.
From this perspective, he felt that the direction of Shouchong's research was in fact similar to the direction in which he was researching the new Dao talisman seal for Wang Ling.
Everyone knew that Wang Ling's spirit power was increasing day by day, and had always maintained extremely high spirit power fluctuations. In theory, as long as Wang Ling could release his spirit power limitlessly, he would be able to achieve a relatively balanced state.
But given the spirit power in Wang Ling's body, releasing it at will was definitely out of the question. If he didn't control it properly, it could cause secondary damage to the Earth's environment and even the universe's environment. The method that Wang Ming had thought of was in fact similar to the legend of "Yu the Great Taming the Flood."
As the saying went, it was better to release it than to block it.
But the truth was that if he "blocked" and "released" at the same time, the effect might be even better.
Thus, Wang Ming's current idea was to seal part of Wang Ling's spirit power and guide the other part out of his body. Furthermore, he could make use of the spirit power that flowed out, and maybe even contribute to the development of the environment.
And this was Wang Ming's ideal model for developing a new version of the Dao talisman seal.
If he could succeed …
He felt that he could achieve "eternity"!
So in some sense, Wang Ming felt that Shouchong's secret research was incomparably suited to him.
In the future, the two of them might really have a chance to work together vigorously.
But right now, Wang Ming just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
He didn't ask Shouchong about his research anymore, because he knew that this was a sensitive issue, and that asking too much might affect their tacit teamwork.
"I finally found it."
After sailing the Sea of Abandonment for a long time and fishing up many of Shouchong's inventions, Wang Ming finally found what he wanted.
It was a third-generation humanoid mecha armor based on Wang Ling, and was also known as Wang Ling 2.9.1.
"This is …"
Shouchong was stunned on the spot, because he somehow felt that he had seen this humanoid mecha armor somewhere before.
"This is my younger brother," Wang Ming said. Wang Ming said, "Since you were swallowed by the Heartless Patriarch, your thoughts will also merge for a short time. You might have seen some scenes of my younger brother fighting the Heartless Patriarch."
"So that's how it is …" Shouchong suddenly understood. "I've been drifting on this ghost ship for a long time, and indeed saw a similar young man in my muddle-headed dreams. It turns out that it was a scene of the Heartless Patriarch fighting your younger brother …"
"They've also made a mistake."
Wang Ming smiled. "The Heartless Patriarch absolutely didn't expect our willpower to be so tenacious. We didn't completely synchronize with his mental space because of his invasion, and even planned to secretly carry out a vigorous counterattack in the Sea of Abandonment. If we regain sovereignty later, we can retrieve the Heartless Patriarch's memories and see what he wants to do. "
"That's right. This might be a surprise. "
Shouchong nodded.
But very quickly, his mind suddenly turned. "— Wait! You said that the young man fighting the Heartless Patriarch is your younger brother? The Heartless Patriarch is an immortal! How old are you … how old is your younger brother … "
"Cough … that's not the point. Let's work together first. I'll find a chance to explain to you about my younger brother."
Wang Ming smiled, then stared at the third-generation humanoid mecha armor in front of him. "As you can see, this third-generation humanoid mecha armor is version 2.9.1. However, it failed the mobility and mobility tests and didn't meet the pre-set standards, so it's considered a failure. But it's not completely unusable. "
Shouchong crouched down and stroked the smooth metal lines of the mecha armor as he nodded thoughtfully. "Even if it can be used, it still looks a little too small. I'm afraid it won't be easy to sink your giant aircraft carrier. "
"So my idea is to dismantle the core of the third-generation humanoid mecha armor," Wang Ming said.
Wang Ming said, "Then, we'll combine our strength and build an even bigger one!"
"Do you think you're assembling a Gundam?" Shouchong broke out in a sweat. "Besides, even if we can make such a big part, it'll be very difficult to assemble it."
"That's not necessarily true. It's not like 2.9.1 can't be used at all. As long as you wear this set, you'll have the power to assemble giant parts."
Saying this, Wang Ming had already pressed the button on 2.9.1. 2.9.1 automatically disassembled itself and slowly attached itself to his body like fish scales. Then, he shouted at the surface of the sea, "Son! Grandson! Where are you? "
As soon as he finished speaking!
Buzz! "Bang …"
Two flashes of light appeared on the distant sea surface.
Two more humanoid mechas turned into shooting stars and instantly appeared at Wang Ming and Shouchong's feet.
Shou Chong was shocked. "This is …"
Wang Ming: "These are 2.9.2 and 2.9.3. In theory, they are indeed the son and grandson of 2.9.1. Put this on the son first."
"…"
