Chapter 1279 - 1276: Full and Ready for Big Things
It was almost 11:50.
The two of them left.
Bai Ningbing noticed that Luofeng drove over in a Porsche 911 today and immediately complained, "This car is uncomfortable."
Indeed, the Porsche 911 leans more towards being a sports luxury car.
Whether it’s passing over manhole covers or speed bumps, it offers a distinct road feel.
The suspension is also quite firm, definitely not as comfortable as a luxury SUV.
Of course, trying to do big things in such a vehicle...
It would definitely be even more uncomfortable, right?
If you’re doing big things, a spacious luxury SUV is the way to go.
"It’s not even as good as the Mercedes-Benz we had before." Bai Ningbing complained.
"Once you learn to drive, you’ll understand what speed and passion are all about," Luofeng said with a smile.
"Humph, I would only buy a comfortable car, not this kind of sports car." Bai Ningbing snorted.
But thinking of my driver’s license?
When will I finally get it?
So frustrating.
Then Luofeng took Bai Ningbing to eat steamed baby fish.
......
The next day, Sunday, one of the hottest days of the year arrived.
Around noon, Luofeng and Chen Dali, among others, were planning to have lunch.
Bai Ningbing didn’t join; today Tangya was off.
Bai Ningbing suffered at home.
After all, what else could Tangya’s cooking be if not suffering?
If it’s not fruits, it’s bread, at most just salted boiled shrimp?
Today Luofeng took Chen Dali and others to have Dried Fish Maw & Chicken. Just before the meal, Luofeng received a call from the Blue Future’s tech department.
The message was simple.
The first batch of the long-range stable version was ready.
A total of twenty machines.
Luofeng plans to donate all of these to four major cities, for their fire management departments to use.
The luxury third-generation flying motorbike has also been designed; the final range specs turned out a bit weak, but it still has 120 minutes.
Once they hung up, Chen Dali immediately inquired, "Is the third-generation flying motorbike ready?"
"Yep! The design has been completed, and it’s currently with the Capital City Precision Manufacturing Company for assembly," Luofeng replied.
These days are some of the hottest of the year.
Donating the long-range version to the fire departments of four major cities is a good option since summer is indeed a high fire season.
Then they chatted about the flying motorbike while eating.
Almost at the end, Luofeng said, "How about we head to Qili Bay this afternoon?"
"No problem!" Chen Dali nodded.
Li Bo Kai: "I have something to discuss with Long Jianfeng too!"
Lin Xiaoyun naturally had no objections.
Luofeng added, "Let’s go check on the winterberry trees; they’ve blossomed."
"They’ve blossomed this early?" Chen Dali seemed unaware of the growth habits of winterberries.
Li Bo Kai said, "They bloom in June, mature in November, and based on the flowering period, we can roughly estimate the potential yield for the winterberries!"
"Hopefully a bumper harvest of winterberries this year!" Lin Xiaoyun said with anticipation.
Chen Dali agreed, "Yeah, having winterberries or not feels like the difference between a martial arts master and a lightweight."
"Hahaha!" Luofeng laughed. It seems these folks can’t live without the good stuff.
But the system said, the yield of the three winterberry trees is a total of 100 kilograms.
What are they hoping for?
It’s pointless.
The yield will always just be stable.
Of course, the system also said, it won’t always be such a standard figure every year.
It may be more by a kilogram, or less by a kilogram?
Because that at least looks more normal, right?
By 2 PM, Luofeng and Chen Dali and the others arrived at Qili Bay.
Long Jianfeng accompanied them to inspect the winterberry trees.
The winterberry trees were blooming profusely.
Clusters of flowers everywhere.
Li Bo Kai remarked, "Looks good, come November, we should have a decent winterberry harvest. What do you think, Professor?"
"As long as we ensure the tree has enough nutrients and perform artificial pollination, as long as it’s done carefully, there should be more winterberries this year," Long Jianfeng stated.
Luofeng secretly smiled.
All that flashy stuff...
It’s not going to increase the yield, right?
But then Luofeng was surprised.
The system sent a message.
[Ding! If artificial pollination is used, the yield will increase by 20%!]
[Because if artificial pollination doesn’t increase the yield, that wouldn’t be in line with patterns!]
Well, that’s something.
To align with patterns, the system actually increased the yield?
[If in the future there are scientifically verified ways to increase yield, the system will also automatically increase the yield. Things like fertilizing or pest control that don’t necessarily increase yield will retain the previous yield!]
That’s indeed scientific.
After all, who says eating more definitely means growing taller?
But if you stretch out the bones, and don’t grow taller? Then that’s not scientific, right?
It’s a simple principle.
"Then we’ll just wait for the yield increase this year!" Luofeng laughed, "Let’s leave the artificial pollination to Professor Long, it’s hard work!"
"No worries," said Long Jianfeng, "It’s just these days are a bit hot!"
Luofeng then remembered the high-temperature subsidies, "Well, all the regular employees, no, everyone, we all have high-temperature subsidies, calculated at 30% of the salary!"
So with an 8,000 monthly salary...
You get an extra 2,400 yuan per month.
But not every day’s temperature will be high enough.
So it’s an 80 yuan high-temperature subsidy per day.
And that’s just for the regular employees; technical staff or professors with higher base salaries get significantly more with a 30% increase.
Li Bo Kai commented, "If the artificial pollination is well done, we might guarantee at least 100 kilograms!"
Chen Dali laughed, "If we have 100 kilograms, we could probably produce 5,000 bottles of oral liquid, right?"
Lin Xiaoyun also laughed, "Then we’ll be free with winterberries."
Luofeng smirked, "Achieving winterberry freedom isn’t that simple. Have you considered that there’s still a large flock of hungry little lambs!"
If it’s just the few of them.
Then, of course, they’d be free.
But you can’t resist social obligations.
At 5 PM, Luofeng received a call from Bai Ningbing.
"Hey, darling, did you miss me?" Luofeng was the first to speak.
After all, today he just came to Qili Bay with his buddies.
He didn’t go to see Bai Ningbing.
Bai Ningbing said, "Help!"
"Huh?" Luofeng was puzzled, "Darling, what’s happening?"
But there was no danger prediction card indicating Bai Ningbing was in any danger.
Bai Ningbing complained, "My mom’s gone crazy. It’s bad enough we had bread and fruit for breakfast, but for dinner, it’s just a cup of yogurt, a portion of steamed yam, and half a steamed corn! I’ve already suffered in the morning; I can’t bear more torture tonight."
Luofeng laughed.
Is this a call for Luofeng to handle dinner?
Then, after being well-fed, they can certainly tackle big things.
