Upgrading Summoning of All Things
Su Ming flicked the snowflakes from his hair and turned to Younier beside him, "Did you use wolfsbane or gentian?"
"They added it all, using a mixed formula..." Younier's eyes widened in disbelief. "No... such a bitter thing, Miss Sacred Beast, you can actually drink it?"
Even a fool could guess that this gluttonous beast must have tilted its head back and swallowed the whole thing whole in one gulp.
But compared to the gluttonous Qiluo, the little clerk's ability to turn Chinese medicine into a fragrant meat soup is the most terrifying thing! Su Ming thought to himself.
"Remember," he said, rubbing his throbbing temples, "Next time you cook, remember to write your name on the pot lid."
"... Okay, okay!"
In the distance, the billowing snow suddenly struck a protruding rock, accompanied by a heart-wrenching whistle. The snow then veered off course and continued in another direction, carving deep tracks across the pristine snow.
"Hansite," Su Ming called out.
Hansite had already prepared a bucket of clean water. He shouted across the training camp, "Anyone know how to perform a stomach lavage on a horse? Two points as a reward!"
A student shakily raised his hand, "I... I've learned a little, but that just now... was it a unicorn?"
"Not much different." Su Ming grabbed the student by the back of his collar, leaped into the air, and chased after the snow dust.

As dusk settled and the last rays of orange-red sunset faded into the distance, the Youth Civilization slowly closed all its carriage doors.
The newly joined trainees crowded around the windows, peering out with curiosity at the massive iron behemoth that was about to embark on its journey.
Inside the boiler of the Doomsday Locomotive, the blazing fire had reached its peak, and the pointer on the steam pressure gauge continued to climb.
The train has now expanded to a massive scale with over a hundred carriages and stretching for kilometers. Su Ming contacted the engineering team on Earth yesterday, requesting an upgrade to the train's control system.
On the other side of the world, engineers worked tirelessly and quickly completed the software optimization. After dozens of simulation tests confirmed that everything was correct, the new control program was stored on a small SD card.
Afterwards, the data card was delivered to Miao Xin. When Su Ming connected to it, he found that she had moved to a new location.
Although the environment still looks like a factory, it's clear that we've arrived at the seaside. Through the open factory gate, we can clearly see the distant, turbulent sea, with waves crashing against the rocks and splashing up white foam.
"Where is this again?" Su Ming asked curiously.
"[The marine power equipment factory, huh?]" Miao Xin replied cheerfully. "[Your new 50-megawatt steam turbine has passed the preliminary acceptance test by the expert group.]"
[Preliminary acceptance?]
"[It's only considered final acceptance after it's successfully installed and running in the other world,]" Miao Xin explained. "[After all, you're the end user.]"
[That's correct.]
Miao Xin suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "[I've flown a fighter jet!]"
"[Fighter jet?] "Su Ming was genuinely surprised. "[You've only been training for a short time, and they're already letting you handle a real fighter jet?]"
[Hehe!] Miao Xin couldn't hide her smugness. [I used cooperation in the experiment as leverage, and they had no choice but to agree—but mainly it was for you!]
"[For me?]" Su Ming couldn't understand the logic behind this at all.
"Next, you'll also need to undergo manned aircraft training," Miao Xin explained. "If I learn it first, I can help you if anything goes wrong during your training."
[Don't fool me, there are trainer aircraft like that!]
"The huge machine you'll eventually have to learn to fly doesn't have a training aircraft," Miao Xin said. "They also plan to let me try it out, to see if I can control this enormous aircraft all by myself."
Su Ming suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem—normal large passenger planes require two or more pilots to operate, while the planned giant ground effect vehicle is several times larger than the famous "Caspian Sea Monster".
"[Even if you can do it, it doesn't mean I can," Su Ming said, frowning.
The sheer size of the aircraft makes its operation incredibly difficult. Miao Xin, with her extraordinary talent, might be able to manage it, but Su Ming doesn't believe he has any chance of mastering such complex operating skills in a short period of time.
Moreover, even if he could barely master it through training, he couldn't be confined to the flight control position for an extended period of time.
[So, Fengshou is now focusing all its efforts on developing intelligent driving systems,] Miao Xin added.
In addition to optimizing flight control software, Fengshou Technology is also developing an intelligent system that can assist pilots and even replace them in making decisions. This intelligent system has high hardware requirements and high energy consumption, making it impossible to deploy on small aircraft.
However, on this giant two-thousand-ton aircraft, it doesn't feel so cramped; there is indeed enough space to install computing equipment.
[So, if I want to fly, I not only need to solve the problem of aviation fuel supply, but also the problem of computing power?] Su Ming frowned.
[More or less.]
"Alright," Su Ming took a deep breath, "We'll tackle these problems one by one."
Su Ming controlled the Little Spiky Head's body and tossed the SD card in his hand. A flash of light, and the SD card instantly turned into a pile of fine powder.
****
In the other world, Su Ming inserted the SD card he had just acquired into the device's card slot and began loading data.
Miao Xin took the initiative to contact him, Su Ming switched his view to hers, only to find that it was Xiao Cheng who was looking for him.
Beside Xiao Cheng were two technicians in protective suits, and the three of them were engaged in a heated discussion while looking at tablets in their hands.
"What happened?" Su Ming asked immediately.
"There's something I need to tell you," Xiao Cheng said immediately, his tone filled with excitement, "The detection values during the teleportation just now fluctuated greatly!"
"What exactly is it?" Su Ming frowned.
"Although the object being transported this time was extremely small, the spatial distortion index actually increased by more than tenfold! The ripple density also reached a record high!" Xiao Cheng excitedly turned the tablet towards Su Ming, showing a curve that far surpassed historical data.
In the battle against the Fate Manipulator, Su Ming's Magic Power power successfully broke through the limits, officially entering the realm of Magister. In this other world, this means he has successfully joined the ranks of High Rank spellcasters.
However, to truly demonstrate the level required for this rank, he still needs extensive theoretical learning and practical training.
There isn't time to deal with this yet, but he can still sense that the depth of his interference with space when using "Summoning of All Things" has indeed undergone some qualitative changes.
