18: Chapter 18 You call this thing a car?

With a tap of his finger, the prize wheel spun rapidly.

At this moment, Wang Xiuming could only pray silently in his heart.

Hopefully, he wasn't cursed with bad luck.

Hopefully, it wouldn't be a nuclear weapon or a UFO.

There was no helping it; even if he were given such things right now, they would be completely useless to him.

Was he supposed to fly a UFO around to take photos and entertain everyone?

As Wang Xiuming whispered to himself, the roulette wheel in front of him slowly came to a stop.

It landed in a green section.

Although the sections varied in size and color.

The items inside had nothing to do with the colors.

One could only judge by the size of the section.

Clearly, Wang Xiuming's luck was neither good nor bad.

Because this green section occupied roughly one-twentieth of the space.

When Wang Xiuming's gaze landed on the green section.

He was completely stunned.

At the same time, the system's voice resounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the crane blueprint]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 crane production line]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 crane engineer]

Wang Xiuming: ???

Calculated, that was a five percent chance.

And it just produced this thing?

Are you kidding me?

Wang Xiuming felt like he had taken ten thousand points of critical damage.

However, looking at his constantly rising points, Wang Xiuming calmed down.

Fortunately, the points would keep rising as orders increased.

One order for a xiaolong s21 could increase his points by one.

One dongfeng 21a was worth 100 points.

Otherwise, if he relied solely on lucky draws, it would take forever.

"What the hell is the use of this crane?"

"I sell cars!"

"Am I supposed to switch careers to making cranes?"

Wang Xiuming's second lucky draw had yielded a crane, plus a production line for manufacturing cranes.

That was fine, but he also got an engineer?

Wang Xiuming really wanted to curse right now.

What happened to the promised car system?

Does a crane even count as a car?

Well, it seems it actually has some connection.

After all, it has the word 'car' in it.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

A pitch-black, chicken-claw-like hand rested on Wang Xiuming's shoulder.

A sleazy voice came from behind him.

Wang Xiuming was taken aback and turned his head.

A young man with shiny, pitch-black skin was staring at him with a full face of smiles.

But paired with those rat-sized eyes, he looked incredibly sleazy no matter how he looked at him.

Could this guy have an abnormal sexual orientation?

This thought suddenly popped into Wang Xiuming's mind.

"Hello, Boss!"

Qian Weiyi put on the most sincere and kind smile of his life as he looked at Wang Xiuming before him.

After all, this was the person whose coattails he would be riding from now on.

He had to hold on tight!

Wang Xiuming nodded slightly, and the guy's information had already appeared in his mind.

But it was limited to his name and his identity as a crane expert.

As for the rest, he didn't know much.

But as long as he knew this guy was absolutely loyal to him, that was enough.

Although this guy was drawn from the lottery, he was no different from any other normal person.

He had to eat, drink, poop, pee, and sleep, and those needs still had to be met.

"Qian Weiyi, does this crane even count as a car?"

"What exactly is so precious about it?"

This was the only thing Wang Xiuming couldn't figure out.

After all, with a five percent chance, he had drawn a crane.

What was so rare about this thing?

Since when did this count as a rare reward?

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Weiyi nodded hurriedly; he hadn't even latched onto his boss's coattails yet!

Was he about to be abandoned?

No, he had to prove his worth!

Qian Weiyi didn't want to be unemployed right after being born.

"Boss, this crane is actually half a car!"

"Of course, it's not really anything precious; at most, it's just a little bit better than the cranes on our planet."

Qian Weiyi's smile grew even wider as he continued, "Boss, why don't you bring out the blueprints, and I will explain it to you properly."

Wang Xiuming became interested; according to this guy's implication.

This crane seemed to be somewhat powerful.

"Fine, let's do as you say!"

The crane blueprints issued by the system were stored directly on Wang Xiuming's computer.

He could view them whenever he wanted.

As an auto mechanic in his past life, to be honest, he only had a superficial understanding of this kind of thing.

He could only barely understand it.

When he first saw the crane blueprints, Wang Xiuming was a bit bewildered.

"Are you sure it's 'a little bit' and not 'a whole lot'?"

In these blueprints, this thing called a "crane" looked just like a human arm plus a palm.

And at the very back of the arm was the cockpit; looking at the shape of this cockpit, it could hold at least thirty people!

The most complex part was the design of the palm, where the dense, myriad data points were almost dizzying.

This was no crane.

This was practically an arm of a transformers unit.

"This thing is a crane? This is what you call a crane?"

"Also, is this thing really fuel-powered?"

Wang Xiuming was filled with question marks; he couldn't understand this at all, okay?

And with an appearance like this, could it really use petroleum as an energy source?

Could it be electric?

Wang Xiuming was completely dumbfounded.

According to current theoretical common knowledge.

Generally, there are only these two types that can serve as energy sources, though of course, there is also nuclear energy.

But the range of application is too small.

But for this 'crane' in front of him, which looked like a human arm and palm, to operate, could it really use petroleum or electrical energy?

That was fine.

To make this thing operate as flexibly as a normal human palm, the machinery required, as well as the precision level, was likely far beyond what current technology could achieve.

Ordinary cranes simply lift heavy objects and place them in designated positions; of course, they only move up and down, and sometimes it's hard to operate due to the object's inertia.

However, this 'crane' obtained from the system lottery had absolutely no such concerns!

He could play with it however he wanted!

"Anything produced by the system must be a high-quality product!"

"Internet novels truly do not lie to me!"

Wang Xiuming's expression was excited as he continued to examine the blueprints, while Qian Weiyi, standing to the side, began to explain.

On the computer blueprints, one could clearly see every material required for this 'crane,' and there were even requirements for the precision and density of the materials.

Even how these materials needed to be manufactured and the manufacturing process were clearly laid out.

It was as if it was afraid Wang Xiuming wouldn't understand.

Strands of 'blood vessels' spread throughout the entire 'crane'; these were the methods used to transport energy and transmit command signals for the 'crane.'

In other words, these were circuits.

Just like how the electrical wires in a house are installed inside the walls.

Except these 'circuits' were installed inside the 'crane.'

As for energy, the 'crane' was compatible with various energy sources; whether it was nuclear energy or electrical energy, it could use them all!

What surprised Wang Xiuming the most was the control of the 'crane.'

It was just like time-traveling to the future; one only needed to put the cockpit helmet on one's head to control it through neural sensing.
