Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

Chapter 164 Flawless

"But even so, this is far from all there is to it."

Seeing the audience below gradually becoming stunned, Jiang Zhe showed no intention of stopping there.

Instead, they continued to release bombshell revelations and began to paint a picture.

"Everyone, the demonstration just now only showed the effect of one floating cannon operating alone."

"But—what if we were to call upon and operate three machines simultaneously?"

Jiang Zhe spread his five fingers, making a loose fist in mid-air, and his voice rose accordingly.

"Imagine being in a dangerous and complex ruin."

"The card player can hide behind absolutely safe cover without even showing his face."

"Simply give a simple attack command, and you can easily control these three floating cannons."

"Bring a variety of high-output cards and launch a comprehensive, carpet-bombing attack."

"Or, in the event of a surprise attack or a need to retreat, have them create disturbances in different directions."

"Even using invisibility to carry out suicidal, extreme retreats."

As he said this, a dangerous glint flashed in Jiang Zhe's eyes.

"What is this?"

"This is called—one person becomes an army!"

"hiss----"

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd below.

I'm afraid the temperature inside the venue will rise rapidly after this.

One person can form an army? Hiding behind cover and grinding monsters without taking damage?

If the tactics this guy devised are actually feasible, then what's the point of having exploration cannon fodder?

Why not just have three or five elite soldiers lead a huge horde of floating cannons and sweep them all over the place?

"Wait, that's impossible!"

Just as everyone was engrossed in the grand vision described by Jiang Zhe.

The researcher from the Gear Society suddenly stood up and loudly interrupted him.

"You're making it sound very convincing, but you're just using a fallacy of misleading statements!"

He pointed to the floating cannon next to Jiang Zhe, his tone full of doubt and resentment.

"This level of invisibility, and that bizarre output capability."

"If you want to control multiple units—"

"How could an ordinary card master possibly withstand such a terrifying mental strain and the demands of multitasking?"

Upon seeing this, the company representative immediately echoed the group's sentiments and began to make sarcastic remarks.

"That's right, if it's expensive to make and requires a card master of level three or four or higher to operate."

"This thing has no practical value for large-scale promotion; at best, it's just a high-end toy for the powerful!"

Faced with the joint attack from the two companies, the atmosphere in the venue became somewhat delicate once again.

After the initial shock, many people did indeed come to their senses.

Yes, how could something so incredible be completely without any problems?

"That's a good question."

However, Jiang Zhe on stage did not panic despite being questioned.

Instead, he nodded calmly, as if he had been prepared for this.

"Indeed, the prototype I have here is designed to achieve the ultimate performance."

"It uses a special biological core, and the levitation function also incorporates a little bit of gravitational dust."

"If we were to actually make the cards according to this formula, the current material costs would indeed be quite high."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the gear assembly and processing company immediately showed delight and were preparing to continue making a fuss about it.

But then Jiang Zhe suddenly changed the subject.

"But that's not a problem for me at all."

He placed his hands on the exhibition stand, looked directly at Minister Li below the stage, and spoke with absolute confidence.

"With my technical skills and the support of Star Tower, I can tactically downgrade this card's recipe."

"Tactical downgrade?"

Minister Li raised his eyebrows slightly, clearly intrigued.

"It's very simple," Jiang Zhe continued, displaying his superior technical skills.

"The biggest cost of producing this floating cannon lies in the rare biological core that gives it extremely high intelligence."

"But if we're just popularizing it to regular exploration teams, then we don't need overly complex thinking abilities at all."

"When I'm making the card, I can easily replace it with the core of the Smart Golem, or the head of another high-level monster."

Jiang Zhe paused, his sharp gaze sweeping over the two who had just launched the attack.

"As for the issue of mental strain that you mentioned, that's even more ridiculous."

"He's not some ordinary summon that you need to scrutinize every detail, micromanage, and constantly channel your mental energy to keep him alive."

""

"This card is in pre-charge mode!"

"You only need to feed it before a battle, or whenever you have enough mental energy and it's safe to do so."

"During combat, you only need to issue a general command, and it will use its instincts based on the magical beast materials to judge the situation and carry out the task."

Jiang Zhe held up two fingers, giving a precise number.

"An ordinary level 2 card master, while ensuring that their own combat power is not affected."

"Carrying and activating two downgraded floating cannons at the same time is more than enough."

"And if you reach level three or even level four, then commanding a fire support group of three to five units at the same time is by no means difficult."

A confident smile appeared on Jiang Zhe's lips.

"Although its reaction and intelligence will be slower after the alternative materials are changed, and it may not be able to make very complex tactical evasions."

"However, its stealth and output capabilities are completely preserved!"

"Furthermore, the materials used for its card production will become extremely readily available, and the cost will be reduced to less than half of what it was before!"

"Isn't this price-performance ratio good enough?"

silence.

After Jiang Zhe presented this mass-production version of the tactical downgrade plan.

The entire venue fell silent for a few seconds.

The representative from the gear assembly and processing company opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a rebuttal for a long time.

Because Jiang Zhe's plan is virtually flawless from any angle.

By reducing some intelligence, they achieved a precipitous drop in the barrier to card production, while simultaneously preserving the core lethality and stealth capabilities.

This is truly a genius design that understands card modification!

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Suddenly, a crisp and powerful clapping broke the silence.

Minister Li suddenly stood up, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

I'm not afraid of your flaws, I'm afraid of your lack of potential for large-scale implementation!

It truly lives up to the recommendation of that renowned scholar.

Jiang Zhe's plan perfectly matches all of Star Tower's needs for improving individual soldiers!

"Young man, you understand practical application very well, and you understand technology even better."

Minister Li did not hold back his praise.

At that moment, Professor Lin, seeing this, slowly stroked his beard.

Although he tried his best to hide it, the wide grin that almost reached his ears betrayed his inner ecstasy.

"This kid's even more pretentious than I was back in the day—"
