Chapter 44 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Mechanical Department

Not long after, Zhou Weiping took the Black God cult follower away.

Watching the three robots transform back into cars and speed away, Li Qian turned his attention to Liu Changfeng.

Without hesitation, he immediately asked, "Captain Liu, this should be the standard robot of your Public Security Bureau, right? Why don't you have a contract? Isn't it said that the mechanical system is invincible at the same level?"

Hearing this, Liu Changfeng smiled slightly and replied, "The saying that the Mechanical Department is invincible at the same level is just a rumor on the Internet. In fact, it is far from being that exaggerated."

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, the mechanical department is indeed more powerful than others of the same level. I don't deny that."

Changing the subject, he continued, "It's just that the Department of Mechanical Engineering also has its own problems."

"The advantages of the Mechanical Department are very obvious. The moves are transparent, the combat power is strong, and there is no need to worry about the cost of raising them." Looking at the direction where the three Public Security Bureau cars left, he said slowly: "But the Mechanical Department also has two very serious flaws."

"Actually, it can't be considered a defect. After all, there is no perfect pet in this world. The next two points I want to mention are more characteristics of the mechanical system than defects."

"The first is the potential of the Department of Mechanics."

"In theory, the mechanical system has infinite potential and can be updated and upgraded without limit, but this is only in theory."

"In fact, the update and upgrade of the mechanical system is almost entirely dependent on the mechanical module. Not to mention the core energy module or chip module, the cost of upgrading a basic flight module or weapon module alone would be prohibitive."

"Moreover, the high-tech companies of the major federations of Zuxing will occasionally launch the next generation of mechanical modules. When a new mechanical module is launched, do you want to follow up? If you follow up, your wallet cannot afford it. If you don't follow up, your combat effectiveness will lag behind others."

"So in addition to the saying that the Mechanical Department has outstanding combat power among its peers, there is another saying - the department is exclusively for the rich."

After listening to Liu Changfeng's explanation, Li Qian suddenly realized something, but then he started to wonder, "What about the Crazy Dragon No. 3?"

"Although the three car robots just now seem powerful, they actually have little potential left based on their existing mechanical modules."

In this regard, Liu Changfeng's statement is consistent with what Li Qian saw.

Judging from the information Zhou Weiping had obtained using the Eye of True Vision, the potential of his Crazy Dragon No. 3 was indeed not high, and it had only barely reached the third level of commander.

At first, Li Qian was a little confused.

Having mastered so many skills, the potential of Mad Dragon No. 3 is definitely more than just a third-level commander.

Now after listening to Liu Changfeng's explanation, he understood.

It turns out that its existing mechanical modules can only support it to upgrade to the third level of commander.

"In addition, because the mechanical department is different from other departments, they can communicate through AI glasses or other electronic devices with similar functions, and there is no language barrier. They can also transform into various means of transportation, such as cars and airplanes. Therefore, most mechanical departments can exert most of their combat power even without a contract."

"Of course, compared to a direct contract, the combat effectiveness will definitely be compromised."

"So even though I don't have a mechanical contract, when I'm on a mission, I can request support from the headquarters' mechanical pets, or control them to fight."

“Compared with direct contracts, there is a gap, but it is not huge.”

"The Crazy Dragon No. 3 you just saw is in the same situation."

"That Zhou Weiping actually didn't have a contract with Crazy Dragon No. 3."

Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but nodded slightly, and he had a general understanding of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

After Li Qian had digested the information for a while, Liu Changfeng stretched out his second finger again and said, "Secondly, that is the second flaw."

"If you want to unleash the full potential of the Mechanical Department, the requirements for a Beastmaster are not low."

"Otherwise, a mechanical beastmaster cannot be called a mechanic alone."

Upon hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but show curiosity, "What are your specific requirements?"

"To become a top mechanic, you must have strong professional skills in both software and hardware." Liu Changfeng continued to explain to Li Qian, "This is why almost all mechanics are highly intelligent and educated beastmasters."

understood!

It seems that not everyone can become a mechanic.

Of course, this does not apply to random contracts where there is no expectation of achieving much.

But this type of beastmaster should not be called a mechanic.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Qian understood the key point.

Mechanical pets are the product of high technology. If you want to play with mechanical pets well, you must be proficient in both hardware and software, or at least be a high-tech talent.

Originally, Li Qian was planning to contract a mechanical pet beast in the future.

After listening to Liu Changfeng's explanation, I suddenly felt that I needed to reconsider this matter.

However, not having a contract like Crazy Dragon No. 3 seems to be a good choice.

Shaking his head and not wanting to think about it, Li Qian brought the conversation back on track. Liu Changfeng had explained such a big puzzle to him, so he had to give him some reassurance.

"Thank you, Captain Liu, for clearing up a doubt in my mind. By the way, don't worry about the matter of the Green Scaled Dragon. I will take responsibility seriously."

After a pause and a little thought, he gave a time point, "I will try to complete the evolution before July 1st."

"Nothing. You will soon understand these things after you go to the Beast Taming University." Liu Changfeng chuckled, "As for the matter of the Green Scaled Dragon, since I have handed it over to you, I definitely trust and rest assured."

The two chatted for a while, and then Liu Changfeng left.

Li Qian did not try to persuade him to stay.

After all, Liu Changfeng is the captain of a special operations team of a city-level public security bureau. On weekdays, he must be very busy with work and doesn't have much time to waste here.

After Liu Changfeng left, Li Qian immediately called out the task panel to check it.

[Scientific research task: The second way for Koi to evolve]

[Current task progress 87%]

"The progress has increased by two points!"

Li Qian muttered to himself, and then began to recall that these two points of progress seemed to have increased when he just saw the violent salamander.

At that time, the matter was urgent and he didn't go to check it out at all. Now thinking back, there must be some connection.

See the newt.

The task progress has increased.

Could it be that the second evolutionary form of koi is the violent salamander?

It is said that the potential of the violent salamander has just reached the first level of overlord. If so, is it worthwhile to continue researching it?

Shaking his head, Li Qian quickly denied the idea.

He prefers the second evolutionary form of Koi to be a salamander-like pet, rather than a violent salamander.

Otherwise, the task progress would not have increased by only two percent.

An increase of only two points can only prove that there is most likely only a correlation between the two, rather than a direct equation.
