Chapter 108 Intelligence (Additional update for alliance leader Dongyou Lingyu) (third update)
Lin Fang said to Su Ming calmly.
“A meat dish, a vegetable, rice and soup, such a set meal is 10 federal coins!”
“It’s so cheap!”
Su Ming nodded in response road.
"The first thing I want to say is, don't go to the commercial street to eat. A set meal like this costs five thousand federal dollars in the commercial street!"
Lin Fang said seriously.
Su Ming was also very surprised when he heard Lin Fang's words.
“So expensive? Why is the price difference so big?”
“First of all, consumption in Starlight City is very expensive. No place in the entire federation is more expensive than here. In addition, eating at Huangting College is There is a subsidy, and the vegetables of Huangting College are specially supplied. They are cultivated by the planting department of Huangting College and are not calculated according to the market price. However, the meals are also limited. Each person can only consume such a set meal three times a day. If you want to have a late night snack, you can only go out to eat.”
Lin Fang explained methodically.
“That’s it.”
Su Ming nodded slightly and responded.
"Okay, let's finish lunch quickly, and then I will take you to visit other public facilities in the school."
"Yeah!"
Su Ming immediately lowered his head and started eating.
After a while, the two of them finished their lunch, and Su Ming followed Lin Fang and left the cafeteria.
The two of them walked forward along the wide road. At this time, Lin Fang raised his finger and pointed to a Rubik's Cube-shaped building erected in front of him.
“This is the library of an external school, and the collection of books in it is also very comprehensive. You must go and soak in it when you have time, and learn about the universe, Chilami, the mechanical clan, the Zerg, etc. You can learn a lot about it. It will greatly improve your cognitive level, and it will be very helpful for your grade exams.”
“Grade exams?”
"Well, Huangting College has a five-year system, but you don't just have to complete this year to advance to another school. There is a grade-level exam at the end of the semester! The most important thing to pay attention to in the grade-level exam is the first grade. The total number of first-grade students is There are three opportunities to take the make-up exam. If you fail the exam three times, then I’m sorry that you will most likely be dropped out of school.”
“Do you need to pay attention to it if you are in second grade or above?”
"As long as you can advance to the second grade, even if you fail to pass the third grade, you will still be an elite."
"I see."
Su Ming responded calmly.
Lin Fang continued walking with Su Ming, and soon they came to a relatively high hillside.
He raised his hand and pointed to an area in the distance, and saw mechas flying from the ground at high speed and rushing into the vast sky.
“That area is the public training ground of the academy. You can rent first- and second-generation aircraft at cheap rent for real-machine training. If you have time, you can practice more combat skills.”
< br>"Pretty good."
Su Ming replied with satisfaction.
"Of course, if you have the conditions, you don't have to rent it. You can buy a mecha yourself."
Lin Fang added with a somewhat lonely look.
Su Ming asked slightly surprised when he heard this.
"Can we buy mechas and bring them into school?"
"Yes, and Huangting Academy encourages students to have their own mechas. You look to the right and see next to the training base Are there rows of hangars? Most of them are rented out.”
"Well," "Also, if you don't have a particularly reliable external channel, I personally recommend purchasing it on campus. There are many channels within our school to purchase mechas, such as the exclusive mall on the school's official website, as well as different mecha manufacturing societies and Some masters of personal mecha customization.”
“I understand.”
“Also, let me emphasize that having a personal mecha is very important. This is a very important matter for us mecha students!"
Lin Fang reminded Su Ming very seriously.
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
"Because only if you have a personal mecha, can you go to the school's task hall to take on tasks and make money, join clubs and participate in activities, and better complete the school's teachings. Mission! Of course it’s not that easy to buy a personal mecha. After all, good mechas are extremely expensive.”
“Can you tell me about the current mecha market?”
Su Ming asked Lin Fang rationally.
“The price of mechas is not fixed, but fluctuates according to the performance. I will give you a rough explanation of the current market. The normal price of first-generation mechas is 100W-1000W, and the price of second-generation mechas is normally between 100W and 1000W. 1000W-100 million, the third generation mecha is 100 million-1 billion, and the fourth generation and above are even more expensive, and the floating rate is extremely high!”
"Uh"
When Su Ming heard the price mentioned by Lin Fang, his brows knitted together.
He originally thought that he should be relatively rich, but he didn't expect that this little money was not enough.
“But no matter how expensive it is, it is very important to find a way to own a personal mecha. Because it is related to your choice of joining the army when you graduate!”
“This is what I I don’t understand. Aren’t we all directly recruited by the federal government after graduation? Is it possible that we can still choose on our own?”
"It's a direct recruitment, but if you have enough capital and can bring your own mecha into the army, you can freely choose different legions, and the treatment will be different after entering the legion! Let me put it harshly, if you hand If there is a fourth-generation mecha, they can’t give you a sergeant when you join the army, right?” , the military ranks are also very high, at least at the school level."
Su Ming replied with certainty.
“So, not only do you need to get your own personal mecha, but you also need to get the best mecha possible. The better the mecha, the more expensive the supporting facilities will be. You need to rent a large computer. It costs a lot of money to hire talented students in the mechanical maintenance department.”
“No wonder you need a part-time job”
"Alas, the reason why I work part-time is because my personal second-generation mecha was destroyed."
Lin Fang said lonely.
“That’s it.”
Su Ming was slightly surprised when he heard Lin Fang’s words.
“Alas, there is no way, the mecha is too expensive. No matter how hard I work part-time, it will be difficult to raise enough money for the second-generation mecha.”
"This is not your problem. The price of the mecha is indeed a bit too expensive."
"In fact, the reason why the price of the mecha is so expensive is not only the complicated process, but the most important reason is the raw materials!"
“Raw materials?”
Su Ming became interested for a moment. No one had ever talked to him about this before.
“Yes, making mechas requires a lot of raw materials, among which four ores are the most important.”
Lin Fang said very responsibly.
“Which four types?”
“The first one is refined iron. The so-called refined iron has nothing to do with iron. It is an associated ore of iron ore, and its output is very small! The ordinary iron universe is everywhere, but often a large iron mine cannot dig out much refined iron. This refined iron is the main material for making first-generation mechas and second-generation mechas."
"Yes."
