Early in the morning, Chen Xin was woken up by a shrill phone ringing and pressed the answer button in a daze.

"Hey, who's that?"

"I said Chen Dashao, when is this still sleeping? What about the manuscript? This issue of the magazine is going to print proofs today, have you finished it? No, I'll replace it immediately!"

Chen Xin was startled by the sound of a cannon on the other end of the phone, and immediately sobered up a lot: "Old Hu, old Hu, don't, I stayed up late last night to finish the manuscript, wait for me for an hour...... No, half an hour, I'll send it to you right away. ”

Chen Xin's undergraduate degree in software engineering is a pity, but unfortunately he didn't miss his job, and he was obsessed with CG when he was in high school, and software like 3DMAX and ZBrush was amazing. His spatial imagination is very good, especially like military CG, in the super base camp, his large ID [Deep Blue Pirate Flag] is as famous as the military CG master [Gao Shan].

Later, because of changes in his family, he fell silent a lot.

After graduating from college, in order to take care of his grandfather, he did not look for a job, but started an amateur illustrator's business, specializing in providing weapons CG pictures for those military magazines, and occasionally taking on some programming tasks with his own major, and his monthly income was even six or seven thousand.

After the J-20 came out before, Hu Xianping, the cover planner of "Weapons" magazine, called and asked Chen Xin to make a CG picture of the J-20. Not long after Chen Xin got the steel hammer, how could he have the heart to put it on it, so he casually agreed.

As a result, I played too crazy during this time, and I unconsciously put this matter behind me.

After cooperating with Lao Hu for so many years, the two sides have been very happy, Chen Xin was embarrassed to let go of each other's pigeons, hurriedly got up from the bed, and was too lazy to wear clothes, walked to the computer desk and patted the table and said: ", come out quickly, help help." ”

The twenty-one-inch LCD screen suddenly rippled, and the steel hammer poked its head out of it and said, "Old Bean, what are you doing, didn't you see that I was busy?"

Chen Xindao: "Don't read your broken novels, help me make a CG still frame picture of the J-20 fighter, which requires 25 million pixels, 16 open, and a length and width of 195mm*271mm." ”

The steel man's electronic eyes flashed, and his mouth rattled: "Twenty pieces!"

Chen Xin said: "No, ten yuan!"

This kid's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, you must know that at the beginning, he only used five yuan to let him spend all his strength to get the information of the "Goddess of Dawn" for himself, but now the price has risen four times. This is equivalent to three hundred and twenty cents, which can make the trolls in NetEase call dozens of times.

gritted his teeth and said, "Just when I suffer a loss, eighteen yuan!"

"No, twelve at most!"

"Sixteen!"

"Fourteen!"

"Fifteen. ”

"Deal!"

Chen Xin was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly found photos of the J-20 from different angles on the Internet for the reference of the steel hammer.

Soon, a skeleton model of the J-20 built by a steel hammer appeared on the computer screen.

Starting from the prismatic nose, the monolithic coated hatch cover, the main landing gear, the DSI bulging air intake, the upper anti-canard, the arched edges, the camber and the tail are downcast, and the landing gear hatch is designed with serrated edges.

Then, the nose of the steel hammer was painted with a white 2001 number, and the wings and twin tails were painted with the Chinese Air Force's red five-star eighty-one military insignia.

Compared with Chen Xin, the works of far surpass the former in terms of overall structure, color saturation and clarity, not to mention the speed. If he hadn't seen the modeling process of the steel hammer with his own eyes, Chen Xin would have suspected that this was simply a high-definition photo taken by the J-20 at close range.

Chen Xin thought about it, asked the steel hammer to move the airspeed tube protruding from the radome to the top of the nose, and then opened the main and side magazines, and hung the PL9 short-range combat missile and PL12 medium-range air-to-air missile respectively, so that others should not think that this is a photo.

As for the background, due to the lack of reference, the steel hammer could not be completed independently, Chen Xin had to describe the construction of the haode picture in his mind to the steel hammer, the steel hammer has a strong understanding ability, the two cooperate tacitly, and it was quickly done, looking at the time, it was less than twenty minutes.

When Chen Xin intercepted the still frame, what appeared in front of him was a work that even he was amazed by.

The camera is aimed at the front of the J-20, slightly xiangshang, you can see the canard wings, prismatic nose and blister-shaped hatch cover, there is a touch of bright green inside the hatch cover, which is a diffraction screen, and further back, the pilot's dark green helmet and shiny red five stars can be faintly seen.

The nose of the fuselage covers the small half of the orange-red sunset behind, the sky is dark blue, coupled with the sharp canard wings and the air-to-air missiles looming in the fuselage, the whole fuselage is like a bow and arrow, ready to launch, looking domineering and exposed, full of science and technology.

Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction, this is the most amazing work he has seen since he has been engaged in military CG work for so long, but it's a pity that he didn't do it himself, which is more or less regrettable.

Chen Xin packaged and encrypted the pictures and emailed them to the special mailbox of "Ordnance" magazine.

Within ten minutes, the phone rang again, Chen Xin pressed to answer, and Lao Hu's voice full of exclamation came from the other end of the phone: "Chen Xin, I! How did you kid do it? This is definitely a master's work, it's incredible, if it weren't for the airspeed tube and missiles, I doubt that this is a J-20 photo taken at close range." ”

Chen Xinhaha smiled: "How about it? Can you be on the cover?"

In the past, Chen Xin submitted articles to magazines such as "Weapons", "Three Knowledge" ("Ship Knowledge", "Aviation Knowledge", "Weapons Knowledge"), and "Ordnance Science and Technology", which could only be on the back cover or title page, and the cover of the magazines usually directly featured photos of weapons.

This time, the main reason is that the news of the first flight of the J-20 is too exciting, and now only the J-20 candid photos uploaded by netizens are not suitable for magazine covers at all, so Hu Xianping thought of replacing them with CG pictures. He himself didn't expect that Chen Xin's work would be so amazing.

"No problem, no problem, the editor-in-chief said, don't choose it, just put it on your picture. As for the price, a fixed price, 10,000 yuan, what do you think? In addition, the editor-in-chief also asked me to ask, can I transfer the copyright of this work?"

Chen Xindao: "Copyright is not to be discussed, just this price, transfer money to me as soon as possible, I am short of money now!"

Hanging up the phone, Chen Xin rubbed his face, there is such a foodie at home, it's time to think about how to make money.

Chen Xin's family conditions have always been good, and he has hardly worried about money since he was a child.

When my parents died, the state paid a pension of 2 million, plus miscellaneous subsidies, as well as my parents' savings, totaling more than 2.9 million, although I spent a lot of money on buying a house and staying in the hospital for the past two years, and now there are nearly 700,000 yuan in the account.

But after raising a steel hammer, the family's expenses suddenly increased.

According to the steel hammer, ten kilograms of metal a day can barely starve it to death, and as for what to make it do, it is difficult for the strong.

At first, Chen Xin went to the scrap yard to find some broken copper and rotten iron to feed the steel hammer, but the little guy was picky and unwilling to eat it, saying that too much rust was harmful to his body.

Chen Xin had no choice but to rent a warehouse on the outskirts of the city, and ordered a ton of stainless steel ingots, a ton of copper ingots, a ton of aluminum and aluminum ingots, plus nickel, tin, antimony and other metals, and spent more than 100,000 yuan at once.

At present, the price of stainless steel is 18,000/ton, the price of copper is 52,000/ton, the price of aluminum is 15,000/ton, the price of nickel plate is 100,000 per ton, the price of tin ingot with a specification of 99.9% is 150,000, and the price of antimony ingot is 63,000 per ton. According to the requirements of the steel hammer, Chen Xin gave it 10 kilograms of stainless steel, 10 kilograms of copper, 5 kilograms of aluminum, and 1 kilogram of nickel, tin, and antimony, and Chen Xin had to eat 1,200 yuan a day.

This can only barely feed the steel hammer for three months, and it is not counting the special habit of the steel hammer to eat a coin.

As for precious metals such as gold, silver, titanium and tungsten, Chen Xin did not consider it at all.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't have a clue, Chen Xin didn't bother to think about it anymore, anyway, there was a steel hammer, so he didn't have to worry about finding an opportunity to make money.

Seeing that it was already bright outside, Chen Xin didn't want to go back to bed to catch up on sleep, so he simply brushed his teeth and washed his face, went back to the room and shouted, ", let's go, let's eat." ”

Before the words fell, a silver-white liquid metal ball popped out of the computer and fell lightly on Chen Xin's wrist, wrapping his wrist, accompanied by the sound of clicking gears, and in the blink of an eye, it became a delicate men's watch.

Chen Xin pointed to his eyes again and said, "There is still here!"

The watch secreted a small ball of metal, transformed into the appearance of a small robot, climbed up along Chen Xin's sleeve, and after coming to the root of Chen Xin's ear, he jumped up and quickly turned into a pair of black-framed myopic eyes, directly on the bridge of his nose.

This is the price paid by the steel hammer after stealing the frame of Chen Xin's titanium alloy eyes.

Chen Xin continued: "To go to hao123 navigation, I will read the news first. ”

A curtain of light suddenly lit up in his eyes, and hao123 appeared in front of him abruptly.

At this time, even if someone was next to Chen Xin, he couldn't see anything except that Chen Xin's eyes were a little dull.

Steel hammer is still very powerful in this regard, with it, the previous so-called high-tech toys such as fruits are all scum, and there is no need to worry about traffic, no need to worry about signals, no worries about small money in your pocket. According to Gangyi, as long as Chen Xin is still on the earth, there is no need to worry about the Internet available.

Chen Xin went around the four major portals, and the J-20 news that was still hot two days ago was all squeezed down, and the headlines on the front page were basically all news related to the "Goddess of Dawn", and the Xinhua News Agency even issued a special editorial, criticizing the United States for still maintaining a Cold War mentality and creating tension within the scope of Shijie.

This time, the Chinese side reacted extremely quickly, and it is clear that the top brass took the lead in exerting public opinion pressure on the United States when they realized that they could not block the news.

Chen Xin took a general look, it didn't mean anything, so he went to the super base camp again. As soon as he opened the post, Chen Xin was shocked, from half past eleven last night to half past eight in the morning, in just nine hours, the post clicked more than one million, and there were more than 80,000 comments.

What's more interesting is that the replies in the post are not only in Chinese, but also in English, which accounts for more than 20% of the replies, and others such as French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Italian.

The comments are even more varied, saying everything, and many domestic netizens also joined in the fun, interacting with a group of foreigners in messy Chinese English.

And with the arrival of the day, more and more idle Chinese netizens will join in.

Chen Xin didn't expect such a scene that made people cry and laugh, but fortunately, the steel hammer had moved his hands and feet, and the super large network was still smooth, so he didn't have to worry about the server being crowded.
