The setting sun hung on the western horizon, and the sky was filled with red clouds like slowly flowing blood. Even though it was already October, the weather in Jingmen Island was still a bit hot.
Six o 'clock in the evening.
Two black Audi cars slowly entered the Everlasting Feast Hall. The person in charge of the Everlasting Feast Hall quickly greeted them and brought Duanmu Lin and the senior executives of the Special Abilities Bureau to the restaurant's VIP lounge.
Fragrant tea and fruits.
As the waiters and waitresses brought these things and then left, Tan Xiu came in from the outside with a smile on his face. Behind him were Yuan Chuling, Yue Kai, Hu Qingsong, and Cheng Yannan, who came to watch the fun.
"Senior Duanmu, I apologize for not coming out to greet you."
Tan Xiu came to Duanmu Lin with a smile. He watched him get up from the sofa and shook hands with him. Then, he shook hands with the senior executives of the Special Abilities Bureau.
Duanmu Lin's eyes then swept over Yuan Chuling's group of four behind Tan Xiu and smilingly said, "Who are they, Tan Xiu?"
"They're just here to join in the fun, Senior Duanmu. You don't need to pay attention to them," Tan Xiu smilingly said. "The reason why I brought them here is to let them see what a big business is."
A look of surprise appeared on Duanmu Lin's face. He knew Tang Xiu quite well and knew that Tang Xiu always had a deep purpose in doing things. Bringing these young people here was probably not just to let them see some big business. However, since Tan Xiu had said so, he wouldn't drive them out. As they took their seats, he smilingly asked, "Since you've developed the aircraft, why don't you let me have a look at it before we trade?"
Tan Xiu clapped his hands and smilingly said, "Come on in!"
Immediately.
Kang Xia, who was waiting outside the door, walked into the hall with a black suitcase. She had rushed to Jingmen Island early this morning and personally brought the Aeroglider she had developed.
"Kang Xia, take out the aircraft and show it to Senior Duanmu," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
Kang Xia faintly smiled and put the black suitcase on the tea table in front of Duanmu Lin and several high-level members of the Special Abilities Bureau. After two unlocking processes, the black suitcase was opened by her and inside was an oblate Frisbee with two footprints on its surface.
"Senior Duanmu, this is a high-tech product developed by our Magnificent Tang Corp. We originally named it Aeroglider, but Tan Xiu felt that the name was too unsophisticated, so he directly named it Hectometer Aeroglider," said Kang Xia with a smile.
Duanmu Lin personally took the drone out of the black suitcase and held it in his hand to carefully observe it. The higher-ups of the Special Abilities Bureau also came over to study the uniqueness of this thing. Unfortunately, after studying it for more than ten minutes, they still couldn't figure it out.
"Chief Kang, can you give us a detailed introduction of its functions? It's best to demonstrate it to us if possible, "said Duanmu Lin.
Kang Xia faintly smiled and said, "I'll give you a detailed introduction first. As for the demonstration, we need to go to an open place outside. After all, there are many guests in this restaurant and it's easy to attract others' attention. I think Senior Duanmu also doesn't want the news about the Hectometer Aeroglider to be easily leaked out, right? "
"That's right. Please keep it a secret," said Duanmu Lin hurriedly.
"This Hectometer Aeroglider is a high-tech product developed by a large number of researchers, geomancers, and even some people from the Occult Sect." Kang Xia smiled. "We've invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to develop it. It was oblate in shape, just like the shield held by the captain of the Merican team in the Merican blockbuster. However, on its surface, there were two concave layers, which were made according to the size of the feet standing on it. I have a switch in my hand with two buttons on it, one for start and the other for stop.
"When a person stands on the Hectometer Aeroglider, two buckles will extend out from both sides of the two concave layers and directly fix the feet on it to ensure the safety of the user. Additionally, it adopts the gravity of space and has a great anti-gravitational system. It's also equipped with sensing equipment and array patterns that cultivators are proficient in. With the combination of these, the user can step on it and fly in the air.
"The Hectometer Aeroglider is equipped with sensors that can sense the surrounding environment, just like the ultrasonic waves unique to bats. If there's an obstacle ahead, it will automatically plan the route even if the user doesn't react in time to ensure the user's safety.
"We've also developed an energy battery inside it. Each energy battery can ensure that the aeroglider can fly for 100 kilometers. When the internal power is exhausted, the battery needs to be replaced and continued to be used. Customers who buy the Hectometer Aeroglider will get two energy batteries for free from the Magnificent Tang Corp.
"It also has another special function. Not only can it fly in the sky, but it can also row on the water surface. When the user stands on it, he can control the Hectometer Aeroglider to travel quickly on the calm water surface. It can even reduce the power consumption."
Having said that, Kang Xia turned her head to glance at Tan Xiu. She saw a smile on his face and was very satisfied with her explanation, which immediately made her feel warm inside. Then, she faced Duanmu Lin and the senior executives of the Special Abilities Bureau and continued, "We set the price of each Hectometer Aeroglider at 2 million RMB, and each battery is 200 RMB. As for the material used to produce the aeroglider, we've adopted the latest high-tech hybrid material. This material is extremely strong, almost comparable to the hardness of diamonds. Therefore, it has a very long lifespan and can guarantee that it won't malfunction within a range of 200,000 kilometers. As long as it's not deliberately damaged, there will be absolutely no problem. "
Duanmu Lin and the senior executives of the Special Abilities Bureau looked shocked. After hearing Kang Xia's explanation just now, they were keenly aware that the technology of this Hectometer Aeroglider was definitely far beyond the world's top technology. If its effect was really as Kang Xia said, then this thing was simply an excellent technological product. It could even become a milestone in the history of mankind toward a higher level of technology.
They also realized that once this Hectometer Aeroglider was used in the military, it would be an excellent combat equipment for the soldiers in the army. Every soldier would have the hope to become a superhuman. They even began to imagine the scene when this aeroglider was equipped in the army. Tens of thousands … or even hundreds of thousands, or even millions of soldiers would be equipped with it and fly in the sky in a formation.
Additionally …
If this aeroglider were to be popularized to the general public, it would probably immediately win the hearts and minds of people all over the world. Its emergence could even replace luxury cars, airplanes, and ships, becoming the world's most advanced means of transportation.
"Speed! I want to know its speed. "
Duanmu Lin stared at Kang Xia with an expectant look in his eyes.
"Its top speed is 100 kilometers per hour," said Kang Xia with a smile. "Senior Duanmu, you should be well aware that we actually have the ability to increase its speed. But if the speed is too fast, problems will arise, and the consumption of the energy battery won't be able to keep up."
Duanmu Lin's breathing turned rapid. A top speed of 100 kilometers per hour was already far beyond his expectation. However, it would be better if this aeroglider could go faster.
"Chief Kang, I want to know how long it will take for your Magnificent Tang Corporation to start producing the upgraded version after the launch of this aeroglider. You should have some ideas about the upgraded version, and I want to know the effect of the upgraded version, "said Duanmu Lin quickly.
Kang Xia turned to look at Tan Xiu with a hesitant look on her face. This was the group's technological secret, and she was absolutely unwilling to disclose it to anyone without Tan Xiu's permission.
"Senior Duanmu, Kang Xia once reported this issue to me," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "I can tell you if you really want to know now. The speed of this Hectometer Aeroglider can be doubled in half a year at most, and the energy battery can also last for 200 kilometers. "
200 kilometers per hour?
Duanmu Lin's breathing turned rapid, and his eyes turned particularly bright. Half a minute later, he slowly said, "I only have three questions left now. If these two questions can satisfy me, I'll order a lot of the Hectometer Aeroglider developed by you."
"Senior Duanmu, let's not talk about those three questions first." Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and said, "Can you represent the military to discuss this deal with me?"
"I have an imperial sword in my hand," said Duanmu Lin in a deep voice.
Tan Xiu's eyes instantly lit up as he nodded and said, "If so, please tell me the three questions, Senior Duanmu! I'm sure you'll get a satisfactory answer. "
"When the user uses the Hectometer Aeroglider, they need to fly at a high altitude. How high can it fly?" asked Duanmu Lin.
"The highest altitude is 200 meters," answered Tan Xiu.
"I can accept this height," said Duanmu Lin with satisfaction. "The second question is, when the user uses the Hectometer Aeroglider to fly at a high altitude, the wind will inevitably affect the user. You should know that the wind will have a very serious impact on the user if they are directly exposed to the outside. What I want to know is, how do you solve this problem? "
Tan Xiu smiled and gestured to Kang Xia, hinting her to explain.
"When the user uses the Hectometer Aeroglider, a transparent energy shield will appear. It has a very strong ventilation effect and can even protect the user's body. Even if the user encounters objects or birds at a high altitude, it can block all of them. Unless someone shoots with a gun, otherwise the user will never be hurt." Kang Xia said with a smile.
"Energy shield?"
Duanmu Lin suddenly got up with a horrified expression on his face. He never dreamed that Kang Xia would give him such an answer.
