Chapter 284 New Computers
Li Chenglong worked through the night to produce 300 Noah Generation 1 units through the space factory, and placed them in the storage area, ready to be distributed during the day. It is worth mentioning that Noah Generation 1 can have three power supply modes. The first mode is to use the matching charger to charge the battery inside, which takes 12 hours to charge and can be used intensively for 24 hours.
The second method is to use red or orange crystals, place them in the crystal slot on the right side of the Noah Generation 1 machine, insert the slot, and it can be used normally. Red crystals can power the Noah Generation 1 machine for half a month of high-intensity use, while orange crystals can be used for one month.
The third power supply method is that if you are a superhuman or an awakened individual, you can directly inject your superhuman or spiritual energy into it. While supplying its own energy, Noah's Ark will also slowly recharge itself. In fact, these three power supply methods are the same as those of the second-generation crystal phone that are currently widely used.
Li Chenglong tiptoed into the bedroom and saw that Yunlan was already asleep, with their son Li Yunhao sleeping soundly beside her arm. Li Chenglong first kissed Yunlan on the forehead, then kissed his son on the cheek, tucked them in, and then went to sleep on the other side.
Before 7 a.m., Qin Fangyu arrived at Li Chenglong's house and made baby food for her grandson. Li Chenglong, meanwhile, prepared breakfast for himself, Yunlan, and others, and made extra to take to the members of the Central Computer Office who were on duty in the early morning. A little while later, Li Xue and Han Xiaoling also arrived.
After they finished breakfast, Li Chenglong took out the Noah Generation 1 Super Crystal Laptop from the storage area and showed it to everyone. Yun Lan took it and said with surprise, "This is a portable crystal laptop?" Li Chenglong smiled and told them about the performance and usage of the Noah Generation 1 laptop, so that some units would not have to sit in the office all the time and could work on the go.
However, these computers are for individual use only. Once personal information is logged in, the computer becomes locked to that person, and subsequent logins require scanning an ID card and voice login. He immediately distributed one computer each to Li Xue, Yun Lan, Han Xiaoling, and Qin Fangyu so they could familiarize themselves with them. He planned to keep some of the remaining computers and put the rest in the Logistics Department, where Yun Qian could distribute them according to a list she had prepared.
After receiving Li Chenglong's call, Yun Qian arrived at the city lord's office shortly afterward. Li Chenglong then continuously retrieved unactivated Noah 01 computers from his psionic storage area, while Yun Qian stored them in her storage pendant. Li Chenglong smiled and said, "Currently, there are less than 300 units. More will follow. If there's an opportunity in the future, these computers will be available to ordinary people, and the price won't be too high."
He chatted with Yun Qian for an hour, exchanging information about recent developments and some problems encountered by the support department. As he was leaving, Li Chenglong said, "The coming year will be the most difficult year. We may have to fight against aliens or even extraterrestrials. Your support department will have to work hard then." Yun Qian shook her head and said, "It's not hard. We are already much happier than those soldiers fighting on the front lines."
After seeing Yun Qian off, Li Chenglong gave Wang Jie and Pei Ji each a new computer. Then he went to the central computer room on the 8th floor, where he saw the three staff members on duty that day, Su Yunjin, He Siyu, and Qin Mengyao, learning some cosmic knowledge from the super artificial intelligence Lilith. Seeing Li Chenglong enter, the three of them quickly stood up.
Li Chenglong gestured for them to continue studying while he checked the central computer for any new documents or intelligence. After a while, the three of them finished studying, and Li Chenglong took out three Noah 01 computers and gave them to them. He carefully explained how to use them, then put the other nine computers aside, telling Zhao Liying to send them out when she had time.
The new computers were now distributed. He checked the time; it was 10 a.m., and he still had some time. He wondered if he had any special plans for the day. Then he realized that he hadn't visited the schools in Dawn City in a long time, but there were so many schools in Dawn City now, and deciding which one to go to was a real problem. Based on the principle of not favoring one over another, Li Chenglong decided to go to the school for people with superpowers first.
Although there are supposedly three schools for people with superpowers, there's actually only one, as elementary, middle, and high school are all located within the same school. He arrived during recess, and all the students with superpowers were doing exercises in the large central playground. The students were between 6 and 16 years old. After 16, they could work in various departments or join the military based on their abilities, but those who wanted to continue their studies were also welcome.
Standing on high ground, Li Chenglong activated his True Dragon Eye and conducted a wide-ranging scan. He discovered that among these students was even a level 7 wind-type ability user under the age of 13. This might not be considered unusual within the Dawn Army, but to achieve such a high level at such a young age was something only Cao Yuechan could accomplish. Li Chenglong had met Cao Yuechan a few days ago when he visited the Ministry of Industry and Information. She had now also become a level 7 lightning-type ability user, and she was only eight and a half years old.
After the morning exercises, the children returned to their classrooms for lessons. Only then did Li Chenglong enter the school and meet Vice Principal Wang Bing and Zhou Chunli. The principal of the school for people with special abilities is Zhao Lan, the Minister of Education, who is usually very busy and can only come two or three times a week.
Li Chenglong exchanged pleasantries with the two men for a while, and then, accompanied by Wang Bing and some teachers, he carefully toured the school for people with supernatural abilities. He focused on inspecting places closely related to the students' growth, such as dormitories, canteens, and sports and recreational facilities. He also visited many classrooms, entering through the back door to check the timetables and listen to the teachers' lectures.
Because he arrived in the morning, and the school for people with superpowers usually teaches various cultural knowledge in the morning, while the afternoon is dedicated to superpower and combat training, he wouldn't be able to see the children training this time. To Li Chenglong's relief, although they entered through the back door, it didn't significantly disrupt the children's learning or the teachers' lessons. Apart from a few students whose attention was diverted, the other children were still listening attentively, creating a very strong learning atmosphere.
He called Yunlan and said he would eat lunch at the school cafeteria, which Yunlan immediately agreed to. Li Chenglong was in the vice-principal's office, chatting happily with several people, reminiscing about his difficult past. At noon, the bell rang precisely, and Li Chenglong refused Wang Bing's suggestion to eat in the office. Instead, he took Wang Bing and other school leaders to a student cafeteria.
The school for gifted individuals has three cafeterias, one for elementary, one for middle, and one for high school students. Each cafeteria has three floors and offers various cuisines. Li Chenglong and the school leaders chose the middle school cafeteria and went inside. Their entrance immediately caused a huge stir; countless students surrounded Li Chenglong, applauding and cheering. Li Chenglong smiled and shook hands with each student, then said loudly, "My fellow students, hurry up and eat! Food is essential for life; only when you're well-fed can you study and train better."
Li Chenglong had already inspected the food; it was varied and nutritious. He got his food and eagerly took a bite; it tasted quite good. At 1 p.m., Li Chenglong left the superhuman academy. After today's inspection, he was quite satisfied with the school and was even more determined to protect Dawn City and ensure its eternal prosperity.
