Lin Fang said to Su Ming calmly.

"A meat dish, a vegetable, rice and soup, such a set meal costs 10 federal coins!"

“So cheap!”

Su Ming nodded in response.

"The first thing I want to say is, don't go to the commercial street to eat. A set meal like this costs 5,000 federal dollars in the commercial street!"

Lin Fang said very seriously.

Su Ming was also very surprised when he heard Lin Fang's words.

"So expensive? Why is there such a huge price difference?"

"First of all, consumption in the City of Starlight is very expensive. No place in the entire Federation is more expensive than here. In addition, meals at Huangting College are subsidized, and the vegetables at Huangting College are specially supplied by the planting department of Huangting College.

It is cultivated and not calculated according to the market price! However, the meals are also limited. Each person can consume such a set meal at most three times a day. If you want to eat late night snacks, you can only go out to eat. "

Lin Fang explained methodically.

"I see."

Su Ming nodded slightly and responded.

"Okay, let's finish lunch quickly, and then I'll take you to visit other public facilities in the school."

"Um!"

Su Ming immediately lowered his head and started eating.

After a while, the two of them finished lunch, and Su Ming followed Lin Fang and left the cafeteria.

The two of them walked forward along the wide road. At this time, Lin Fang raised his finger and pointed to a Rubik's Cube-shaped building standing in front of him.

"This is the library of an external school, and the collection of books in it is also very comprehensive. You must spend time in it to learn about the universe, Chilami, mechanical clan, Zerg, etc. It can greatly improve your cognitive level.

And it will be very helpful for your grade exams."

"Grade test?"

"Well, Huangting College is a five-year system, but you don't just have to complete this year to advance to another school. There is a grade-level exam at the end of the semester! The most important thing to pay attention to in the grade-level exam is the first grade. The total number of first-grade students is

There are three opportunities to make up the exam. If you fail the exam three times, I'm sorry that you will most likely be dropped out of school."

"Then don't you need to pay attention to it if you are in second grade or above?"

"As long as you can advance to the second grade, even if you don't pass the third grade, you are still an elite."

"I see."

Su Ming responded calmly.

Lin Fang continued walking with Su Ming, and soon they came to a relatively high hillside.

He raised his hand and pointed to an area in the distance, and saw mechas flying from the ground at high speed and rushing into the vast sky.

"That area is the public training ground of the academy. You can rent first- and second-generation aircraft at cheap rent for real-machine training. If you have time, you can practice more combat skills."

“Pretty good.”

Su Ming replied with satisfaction.

"Of course, if you have the conditions, you don't need to rent it. You can buy a mecha yourself."

Lin Fang added with a somewhat lonely expression.

When Su Ming heard this, he asked slightly in surprise.

"Can we buy mechas and bring them into school?"

"Yes, and Huangting Academy encourages students to own their own mechas. Look to the right and see the rows of hangars next to the training base? Most of them are rented out."

"Um,"

"In addition, if you don't have a particularly reliable external channel, I personally recommend purchasing it on campus. There are many channels within our school to purchase mechas, such as the exclusive mall on the school's official website, as well as different mecha manufacturing societies and some private mechas.

Master of customization.”

"I see."

"Also, let me emphasize again that owning a private mecha is a very important thing for us mecha students!"

Lin Fang reminded Su Ming very seriously.

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

"Because only if you have a private mecha, can you go to the school's task hall to take on tasks and make money, join clubs and participate in activities, and better complete the school's teaching tasks! Of course, it's not that easy to buy a private mecha.

, after all, good mechas are super expensive.”

"Can you introduce to me the current mecha market?"

Su Ming asked Lin Fang rationally.

"The price of mechas is not fixed, but fluctuates according to the performance. Let me give you a rough introduction to the current market. The normal price of first-generation mechas is 100W-1000W, second-generation mechas are 1000W-1000W, and third-generation mechas are 1000W-1000W.

Mechas cost 100 million to 1 billion, and they become even more expensive after the fourth generation, and the fluctuations are extremely high! It’s simply unbelievable.”

"Forehead"

When Su Ming heard the price mentioned by Lin Fang, his brows knitted together.

He originally thought that he should be relatively rich, but he didn't expect that this amount of money was not enough.

"But no matter how expensive it is, it is very important to find a way to own a personal mecha. Because it is related to your choice of joining the army when you graduate!"

"I don't understand this. Aren't we all directly recruited by the federal government after graduation? Is it possible that we can still make our own choices?"

"It's direct recruitment, but if you have enough capital and can bring your own mecha into the army, you can freely choose different legions, and the treatment will be different after entering the legion! Let me put it bluntly, if you hand

If there is a fourth-generation mecha, they can't give you a sergeant when you join the legion, right?"

"That's impossible. Those who drive fourth-generation aircraft in the legion are definitely aces or main force, and their military ranks are also very high, at least at the school level."

Su Ming replied with great certainty.

"So, not only do you need to get your own personal mecha, but you also need to make it as good as possible. The better the mecha, the more expensive the supporting facilities will be. You need to rent a large hangar and hire a mechanical maintenance department.

Those who are talented students will need a lot of money."

"No wonder, senior, you need a part-time job."

"Alas, the reason why I work part-time is because my personal second-generation mecha was destroyed."

Lin Fang said lonely.

"I see."

Su Ming was slightly surprised when he heard Lin Fang's words.

"Oh, there's no way around it. Mechas are really too expensive. No matter how hard I work part-time, it's hard to make up the money for a second-generation mecha."

"This is not your problem. The price of the mecha is indeed a bit too expensive."

"Actually, the reason why mechas are so expensive is that apart from the complex process, the most important reason is the raw materials!"

"Raw materials?"

Su Ming became interested for a moment. No one had ever talked to him about this before.

"Yes, manufacturing mechas requires a lot of raw materials, among which four ores are the most important."

Lin Fang said very responsibly.

"Which four?"

"The first type is refined iron. The so-called refined iron has nothing to do with iron. It is an associated ore of iron ore, and its output is very small! Ordinary iron is everywhere in the universe, but often a large iron ore cannot be dug out.

How much fine iron is there? This kind of fine iron is the main material for making first-generation mechas and second-generation mechas."

"Um."
Chapter completed!
