The Transit String's determination was reflected in her work efficiency, and she really valued Ding Meng very much.
After the banquet ended, it was already 23: 00 midnight. At this time, Ding Meng naturally returned to the Blue Moon branch of the Starry Rainbow Corporation. The strange thing was that Cartel wasn't in the R&D center. There were only three staff members in Starry Rainbow uniforms in the large hall.
The leader was a young woman with a good figure and good looks. She was carrying an exquisite silver metal box. There were two attendants standing on either side of her. Ding Meng sensed that the auras of these two middle-aged men were about the same as Galloping Horse's. They were obviously bodyguards, and warlord level bodyguards at that.
The young woman had already walked up to him and revealed a sweet and professional smile. "Mr. Ding Meng, hello. I'm Miss Ling's secretary, Jin Xiaoyan. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Ding Meng said, "Hello!"
Jin Xiaoyan handed the box to Ding Meng. "Mr. Ting, this is the reward you received for the Starlight certification exam this year. It's provided by the Star Rainbow Corporation. Please accept it!"
Ding Meng took the box. "Thank you!"
Jin Xiaoyan pointed at a crystal carrier in the middle of the cargo rack. This huge container had obviously just been moved here. The surface of the container was shiny and shiny. "Mr. Ting, according to Miss Ling's instructions, you will be heading to the International Space Station Skynet in ten days to board the Holy Grail Federation's patrol fleet and leave Azure. For your safety, the Blue Moon Security Department has provided you with the appropriate security equipment. Please accept it. We have already entered the specific information into the internal server. You can check it in the sensor cabin."
"Thank you very much!"
Ding Meng had to express his goodwill. "Please pass on a message to Miss Ling. Thank her for her concern. Once everything goes well, I will meet up with her as soon as possible."
Jin Xiaoyan didn't beat around the bush. "Mr. Ting, we've completed our mission, so we won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"
As soon as she left, Ding Meng eagerly placed the box on the workbench and opened it. In the middle of the box was a very small and delicate silver memory chip with two small words engraved on it: "Ding Meng!"
This meant that this memory chip was exclusive to Ding Meng. Other than Ding Meng himself, there was no way he could open it. This kind of metallic memory chip could only be used when it was embedded in the Sensor Cabin. This time, when Ding Meng entered the Sensor Cabin, he found that the control interface provided by the photon computer had undergone many changes. The dazzling array of options was still there, but now all the options could be accessed.
The system notified Ding Meng that his current level of authority was "Star Rainbow Sacred Splendor Level 3". This level of authority was very high. Star Rainbow Sacred Splendor was the headquarters, so the authority from the headquarters could be used by all the major branches. Level 3 authority referred to the authority specifically designated by the higher-ups. With this level of authority, apart from Star Rainbow Sacred Splendor's internal trade secrets, Ding Meng could move about unimpeded within Star Rainbow Sacred Splendor's intranet.
However, Ding Meng didn't have much interest in this right now. This was because a special red option had appeared on the control interface: "Ding Meng". Most likely, the reward provided by Star Rainbow Sacred Splendor University was here.
When he clicked on it, an enormous amount of information immediately flowed into his mind. Little Rascal immediately cried out in pleasant surprise, "It really is a secret manual!"
Ding Meng instantly digested this information because the secret manual that Zhu Bin had given him was called "Solitary Dance of the Serene Lotus". It was indicated that it was a four-star secret manual.
When it came to secret manuals, the Federation and the Empire's standards were the same. Secret manuals were different from cultivation techniques. The common understanding was that cultivation techniques were the foundation, and their purpose was to temper one's origin and strengthen one's Origin Energy. Powerful cultivation techniques could naturally produce special effects on the foundation.
Secret manuals, on the other hand, allowed one to directly cultivate special martial skills that far surpassed the ordinary realm. For example, Meng Yan's "Phantom Fantasy Technique". If one didn't know the trick behind how a person could transform into a mist and then transform into another person, no matter how much one cultivated, they would never be able to grasp the main points.
Another example was the "Zhao Clan's Lone Sword". It was a martial skill, and Ding Meng had persisted in cultivating it by himself. He was more or less able to master it, but he couldn't do the same for secret manuals. This was also why secret manuals were more profound than cultivation techniques.
Secret manuals were also divided into star levels, but the value of their star level was much higher than that of cultivation techniques. Secret manuals were extremely difficult to obtain, and a one-star secret manual was almost equivalent to a five-star cultivation technique. This four-star secret manual called "Solitary Dance of the Serene Lotus" was a clear indication of how much importance the Transit String placed on Ding Meng. They were using the best resources of the Starbow Group to win over this talent.
Cartel's previous judgment was not wrong. With the Transit String in charge of the overall situation, it proved that the higher-ups of the Starbow Group were truly determined to rectify the situation.
Ding Meng skimmed through the manual. This "Solitary Dance of the Serene Lotus" did not focus on attacking, but on improving oneself and leaning towards defense. Zhu Bin must have had his own considerations. After all, Ding Meng was too young. Speaking of which, there were indeed many geniuses in the Federation, but in the face of absolute strength, they were nothing. Surviving was the most important thing. Too much glory and praise would always make one arrogant, and Fujen was a good example.
Ding Meng was not in a hurry to cultivate this "Solitary Dance of the Serene Lotus". As long as he knew the method, he could cultivate it at any time during his free time. However, the box of equipment that the Security Department had provided for him had piqued his interest.
First of all, there was the "Rainbow" fifth-generation high-tech backpack that was exclusive to Starbow Group. This backpack was extremely small, almost like a satchel, but its internal capacity was thirty times that of the dazzling gold backpack. Other than large mechanical units like spaceships, which could not fit inside, it could fit almost everything else.
The biggest feature of this backpack was that it was equipped with a nano-transformational device. Its interior was filled with technological crystals, and it could transform into a single aircraft that could fly short distances. Whether one was a general or a warrior, this device might be able to save one's life at the most critical moment.
Next, there was a large number of spears and short range weapons. These were different from ordinary photoelectric guns and energy guns. A typical example was the super-powerful ion pulse gun. Its capacity was not measured in T, but in S units. A capacity of 10000 T was equivalent to 1 S unit. This "God Slayer" ion pulse gun was unique to Starbow Group. Its energy had been repeatedly condensed, and it was a real threat to origin ability users.
Of course, with the generosity of the Transit String, the armor would definitely be provided to Ding Meng. It was also an exclusive product of Starbow Group, and it was also the latest product that had been successfully developed: Blue - Number One!
From its appearance, this Blue - Number One armor could only be described as normal. It had a very standard human form, and its height was over seven meters.
Although its appearance was ordinary, the material used was 168 yuan super alloy fused with platinum blue gold, as well as second grade crystals. This design was aimed at Sheng Hao Group's Hercules armor. At least in terms of hardness, Blue - Number One armor would not be at a disadvantage.
However, Starbow Group's products and Sheng Hao Group's products were two completely different types of products. Starbow Group focused on a variety of functions. Thus, Blue - Number One armor had as many as 49 functions. The requirements for the armor were quite high. Ding Meng noticed that the armor's scanning system was very advanced. Among them, there was a system called "Subatomic Detection". Its analysis function was so powerful that it could find bacteria within a radius of 600 meters.
Overall, Blue - Number One also followed Zhu Bin's train of thought. It was not good at attacking, but it was good at sneak attacks, hiding, scouting, and escaping. Thus, it was reasonable that it was not favored by Ding Meng.
Although Ding Meng was not good at design, he had his own ideas. Armor was definitely a complicated product, but the usage of the armor should not be complicated. For example, Blue - Number One armor was definitely an excellent armor. There was no doubt about that. However, it had too many functions and made it too complicated. With 49 auxiliary functions, the armor would definitely be in a mess during battle. This would lose the initial purpose of the armor for the armor.
A good armor would not only increase one's combat power, but also allow the soldier to adapt to battle more easily. Therefore, in Ding Meng's opinion, good things should be as simple as possible. Practicality was the way to go. For example, the Black Rock Knight was very simple. It was a beginner's armor. Any soldier would be able to use it proficiently. Even if it was a first-generation product, as long as the soldier was proficient enough, he would not lose to the Blue Origin.
It was the same with the Hercules armor. It was so technologically advanced, and its defense was so strong. However, when Bai Yue fought with Tyrael of the Haitian Group, it was not a one-on-one fight. Instead, it was not as satisfying as when Ding Meng drove the Blackstone Knights on the Falcon spaceship.
In fact, there was another reason. As Ding Meng's strength continued to improve, his need for armor was not as strong as before. Once you put on armor, you would immediately become the target of the enemy's fire. You could quickly scan the enemy, but the enemy could also quickly detect you. Besides, now that he had the "Catoptric Deflection", all metal and steel plates were like tofu in front of him.
Thinking of this, Ding Meng decided to visit Dai Yi's mother again. After all, Yao Manrou was the authority in this area. He wanted to see if there was a way to get some equipment that was really suitable for him.
As he continued to look, the things in the big box were basically supplies and auxiliary materials. The supplies were definitely high-end goods, and they were necessary to be carried. The auxiliary materials were a collection of tools for communication, machinery, maintenance, energy storage, and so on. The Transit String was probably not too comfortable with Ding Meng going to Linda's department, so there was actually an extra sealed silver core stone at the bottom of the box. After Little Rascal's scan, it was found that this silver core stone could allow Blue - Number One to operate at full power for about a year.
Looking at this thing, Ding Meng could only smile bitterly. This Miss Ling probably did not know much about outer space. Sometimes, the key to whether you could survive or not was not the equipment, but the person himself.
