Chapter 279
The wide, idyllic holiday estate was green and forested, the ground was covered with neatly trimmed grass .
Sitting on a chair made of logs while looking out at the beautiful scenery from the wooden house that had three walls of French casement windows, Zhang Lisheng had a bottle of cold beer in his hand in order to live up to the owner's kindness, and toasted with Houg as he smiled formally . "Houg, if I have such a beautiful manor, the most pleasant life would be for me to hide inside here trimming the lawn and doing my experiments instead of running for a member of the parliament . But, of course, a politician like you, who has a sense of responsibility and a sense of mission to the society, has a different mindset from a 'scientific geek' like me . Again, I'd like to congratulate you on your election as the new New York State's senator . "
"Thank you . But I'd also like to add on, Lisheng . If I have a gifted business talent and scientific mind like yours, I wouldn't have gone to run as a senator as well . Frankly, God is too biased towards you, so much that I'm almost jealous!" Houg drank half of the bottle of beer in one mouthful and laughed as he said .
From the display of these two people, they looked like a pair of good friends who had known each other for years . It was impossible to imagine that they had just met in less than twenty minutes .
"Business talent and scientific mind? Oh, I do indeed have some confidence when it comes to these two points . " Hearing Houg's words, Zhang Lisheng, who felt that he had found the opportunity and felt that it was about the right timing, said in a depressed pretense . "However, right now, my confidence has been destroyed by the 'Steel Warriors' that have descended from the sky . These 'Transformers' are so powerful that it makes my studies on the foreign world's monsters on Shrimp B1 Island become meaningless . Since now that we have these steel giants to protect the US, why do we still need the cloned big guys to appear?"
"Oh, buddy? You're researching on bioweapons? I knew that your research direction will be this kind of 'extraordinary' aspect!" Houg thought that the young man in front was merely confiding his innermost feelings and secrets to him to become closer to him . Unknowingly, under his guest's open display, he, who had drunk ten bottles of cold beer, immediately said, "Don't worry, those big steel blocks are indeed powerful but the manufacturing cost is extremely expensive . Just the cost of the raw materials alone is more than one billion USD already, which is equal to five large passenger planes . Just continue to clone your foreign world's big guys, Lisheng . If you succeed, it'd still be of great use . "
"The cost of a 'Steel Warrior' is one billion USD?" Zhang Lisheng's eyes lit up and he put on a doubtful pretense . "How could it be so expensive? I recently heard that thousands of reserve fighters are recruited for the Steel Warriors!"
Houg hesitated for a moment before purposely looking around in secret and lowering his voice to say something meaningful, "You're right, buddy! But when I attended the 'State Affairs Council', I just so happen to have learned a little inside news of the 'Transformers Plan' . Due to the confidentiality clause, I can only tell you that the 'Steel Warrior' is very expensive but in comparison, the benefit payment of the US soldiers is not so unacceptable . "
Zhang Lisheng was stunned, before purposely putting on a shocked expression as he asked, "But can't the Steel Warriors be controlled in a spherical operation room?"
"Oh Lisheng, have you played a game called 'Halo' before?" Houg thought about it for a moment and asked out of the blue .
"No . "
"Try to play this game if you have the chance to . The effect is dazzling and exciting but the only drawback is that the special effects are too beautiful! Don't play it after eating, or otherwise, you'll easily throw up . Not only that, I heard that when some of these people who have an abnormal pituitary gland play this game, they may be overstimulated by the dazzling image when their characters die to the point that they'd faint . I really wonder what kind of fatal damage it would have to a healthy person when such an effect is increased to ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times!"
"It doesn't need to be ten times or a hundred times . As long as the image stimuli that can make a person with an abnormal pituitary gland faint is enhanced by five times, it'd already be enough to produce an illusory effect on ordinary people . If it's enhanced seven to nine times, it'd cause an ordinary person to have sudden palpitations and even death due to the inability of the brain to adapt . " Zhang Lisheng had fully understood the meaning Houg was implying . Unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he said in a relaxed manner .
Upon seeing Zhang Lisheng regarding human life as trifle in such a manner, the new senator of New York State thought that it was because Zhang Lisheng was happy for thinking that his research direction was still valuable . He secretly criticized his coldness but he still put on a polite expression and said, "Oh I see . You're indeed a genius scientist . You always seem to have the correct answer in your mind…"
"Hey gentlemen, we're back . What are you two talking about?" At this time, Mrs . Houg, who took Trish to look at the newborn cow, suddenly pushed open the wooden door and interrupted her husband .
"We're busy talking about some boring game . My dear wife, in this era, video games are the love of all men . I just confirmed this from Lisheng's mouth again so please don't say that the games that I play are childish anymore!"
