Chapter 127

Chapter 127

The energy tube accounts became less and less clear. In the end, KID’s people couldn’t tell how much energy liquid was put into the base station. Some energy tubes were even damaged after use, and it was difficult to find the empty bottles. In the second half, Jiang Simiao simply gave up listening to what KID and the others were saying, and instead made a remote call to Grandpa Gu. After counting the inventory, he looked at the silent KID people with a cold face.

In the end, apart from the bills that were really hard to sort out, there were only 75 energy tubes that could be reimbursed. A bill for reimbursement was handed over to Brother Zhang, the person in charge of the base, by the captain of the Gale Team, Qi Sicheng.

Brother Zhang looked at the bill and fell into silence, and the members of the Gale team next to him didn't say anything either.

Zhao Lejie couldn't understand: "Why did you agree to reimburse those poor guys!?"

Brother Zhang: "The situation was special at the time... I thought it was only 20 tubes at most. The reporting limit of the alliance was 20 tubes."

And there were people from the Dawn Mecha Alliance present at the time. Who knew that when the staff submitted the application for reimbursement, when they heard that the reimbursement target was KID, the Dawn Mecha Alliance only allowed reimbursement for 20 tubes, and they had to bear all the remaining energy tubes themselves.

Everyone in the Gale: "..."

They suddenly remembered that they had sent out more than a dozen tubes in the base station in return for KID's rescue.

The gunner next to him asked, "Although a tube of energy is not expensive, which level should we use to claim it?"

The price of energy tubes is not fixed. A low-level energy tube costs 40w, and the highest-level energy tube can reach 135w... The Gale Base is wealthy, and the boss is rich, so the energy tubes in the base are all configured according to the highest level. If they reimburse too low-level, they would seem stingy, but if they reimburse high-level, they would seem to be the ones being taken advantage of.

Everyone in Jifeng looked at Brother Zhang, who was silent for a while and said, "We can't appear to be stingy."

It was not convenient to stay in the general hospital for long, and Brother Zhang came to the hospital to pick someone up. Ji Feng just came for a few days for a physical check-up. Before leaving, they went to KID's ward together to visit the patient.

Qi Sicheng saw the pale-faced boy sitting in the medical cabin. His right arm could not move and the loose hospital gown looked a little empty on him. The only thing that remained unchanged was the calm and indifferent tone of his voice when he spoke to people. It seemed that he had gotten used to the pain in his right arm and accepted most of the results calmly.

He inquired about the other party's injuries. The robotic arm was damaged. Reattaching the robotic arm would mean adapting to the new arm from scratch. This road to rehabilitation would be relatively long. He didn’t know Ying Chenlin’s identity before, and now seeing all this, some words are even more inappropriate to say.

Noticing Qi Sicheng's gaze, Ying Chenlin nodded slightly in greeting.

Qi Sicheng nodded upon seeing this, and then looked at Huo Yan next to him: "I asked the alliance the other day about the situation. The individual competition will go first, and the medical mecha reform will postpone the competition time. I expect the knockout round to start at the end of the year."

"We can't participate in the competition in our current situation." Huo Yan thanked Qi Sicheng for his kindness, "Thank you very much."

Qi Sicheng: "If you need any help, you can find Ji Feng."

After making sure that KID's two wounded soldiers were in good condition, Gale and his group of mecha soldiers said goodbye to KID and set off back to base. Before leaving, Brother Zhang handed Shen Xingtang a voucher for the exchange of 50 million star coins. Shen Xingtang was stunned when he saw the huge sum of money. Brother Zhang left with the Gale Mecha Master without looking back.

"Fifty million!?" Ji Qingfeng came closer in shock, "Why is the reimbursement so high? What rate are they using to calculate it?"

Shen Xingtang said: "Fifty million is just a regular maintenance for Jifeng. Their base's profit in a month is more than this number. Don't forget how many mecha masters they employ at their base... But Lao Zhang is really good at making friends. He really reimburses when he has money."

Jiang Simiao nodded and suddenly found something under the check, "Wait..."

KID and the others came back to their senses from the fact of negative profit and looked at the check for 50 million. However, when they finished reading the check, they suddenly found another check underneath it.

Lin Yao was too short to squeeze in to see, so he asked, "What is it?"

After Jiang Simiao and Shen Xingtang finished reading the picture, they both looked at Ying Chenlin who was sitting in the medical cabin.

Ying Chenlin noticed their gazes, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xingtang pulled out the note, "A list of Zhao Lejie's weapons."

Ying Chenlin: "...I think I agreed to repair his weapons."

KID: “…”

Shen Xingtang had a lot of aftermath to deal with, and after Ying Chenlin woke up, he started going out frequently. Jiang Simiao was busy settling accounts and began to prepare all the materials and money needed to repair KID's mecha. The other people who had recovered from KID's injuries were taken turns to be conscripted. It happened that the First Military Hospital was located on a planet with a prosperous materials market, so Jiang Simiao took Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao out every day.

In the end, there were only four people left in the hospital. Lu Xi was taking care of Huo Yan, and the task of taking care of Ying Chenlin fell on You Su.

When Ying Chenlin opened his eyes every day, he could always see the man sitting on the sofa in the other corner of the ward. He always had a laptop in his hand, and no one knew what he was looking at. Until one day when Ying Chenlin saw the sky-high price of the Star Network auction on the light computer interface, he never paid attention to what interface he was browsing on You Su's light computer again.

The hospital stay lasted a few minutes faster than Ying Chenlin had imagined. He stayed in the medical cabin for a week, and during that time he had not seen his attending physician except for the doctor who changed the dressings. Ying Chenlin didn't know about the operation. He heard that his operation was very dangerous during the operation. In the end, a medical team from the border army came to solve his infection problem.

The situation was urgent at the time, and Ying Chenlin considered many situations, but the best way in a short period of time was to take the initiative.

Otherwise, given the situation at the scene at that time, the wound caused by the pollutants would heal again, and he and Huo Yan would be in an even more dangerous situation.

The new robotic arm was built for him by the border army. It is said to be the best technology currently available and several times better than the one Ying Chenlin had previously. Although the fixture has not been removed yet, he can clearly feel that the connection between the human nerves and the docked mechanical nerves is smoother than his original robotic arm.

Initially he thought it was due to the robotic arm, but later he noticed that during the daily doctor's checkup, there was an additional contamination test on the checklist. He had such doubts for more than a week, and finally a test report was handed to him by the doctor, and the chief doctor who performed the operation on him also arrived. This work is by

"We observed you for a week after surgery and determined that the tissue fluid infection from the contaminant [xenogeneic] was a benign reaction for you, and that this contamination reaction would persist in your right arm for a long time."

Alien is the number given by the Border Army to the underground pollutants in the C-147 base station. It is a special type of pollutant with the ability to regenerate at high speed.

"Its high-speed regeneration has caused a distortion in your arm, but don't worry, this distortion is not a malignant distortion, and its trunk tissue will not grow on your arm." The doctor continued, "We have obtained all the known data intelligence on this pollutant from the Border Force. The benign effect of its tissue fluid on you is about 0.000014%, which means that its own regeneration ability affects you."

Ying Chenlin heard this doubt and asked, "But wasn't its energy crystal stripped away?"

When the normal pollutants' supernatural crystals are deprived, their own supernatural powers will also disappear.

"It's not a simple pollutant. It's hard for me to explain this to you. The Border Force's pollutant team is also conducting a more detailed study on it." The doctor put it simply: "Its effect on you is an active effect."

"The infected area is the nerves in the mechanical arm and the broken arm of your right arm. The discarded mechanical arm has been lost, and the remaining nerves are in the broken arm. Because you took emergency treatment at the time, the scope of the impact was limited to your broken arm. We treated it with serum and prevented the infection from spreading, but the nerves in your broken arm have been distorted."

The doctor handed him a special test chart, "Did you see it? The activity of the nerve cells in your severed arm is increasing. This effect will have an impact on the mechanical nerves connected to you."

Ying Chenlin didn't quite understand the key point. He only cared about the flexibility of the robot arm. "Will it affect my daily work?"

"No, what I mean is that this activity increases the intensity." Seeing Ying Chenlin's nervous look, the doctor explained, "You also noticed when using the robotic arm that after a certain period of time, fatigue will occur, the output of mental power will be slower, and flexibility will be limited. This activity is exaggerated, your robotic arm should no longer be fatigued."

Ying Chenlin was stunned, "You won't get tired?"

"Of course, if you overuse it, the inside of the machine will still show signs of aging, but you will no longer feel fatigue or numbness from it." The doctor continued: "For example, if you use the robotic arm for two hours, you will feel fatigue and soreness in your right hand. But now this arm is the same as your left hand in terms of fatigue. As long as the right hand is not damaged destructively, it can even withstand fatigue better than your left hand and has a higher tolerance for pressure."

Ying Chenlin's eyes lit up slightly. He never expected to get such feedback. However, after hearing the result, he became more worried: "Will this infection have other effects?"

"Not at the moment. We are also very curious about how such a benign infection could occur. Perhaps it is related to the genetic disease you once had, which has increased your tolerance to infection." The doctor noticed Ying Chenlin's increasingly bright eyes. He also supported the Kolia restricted area in the past, and it was he who cured Lieutenant General Lin's serious injury. He even had experience with the illness of Shi Xuejun, the mother of the mecha warrior in front of him.

In order to cure him, he deliberately looked through old files from 20 years ago. During this period, he tried his best to use drugs to suppress cell activity until he finally completely controlled the condition of Ying Chenlin's right arm.

Doctor: "Of course this will not change your control over your right hand. It is still mechanical in the end. It is not as flexible as your left hand. There will be errors in the operation through your right hand."

Ying Chenlin looked down at his hands and was silent for a while before replying: "This is the best news for me."

The robotic arm may be fully sufficient for ordinary prosthetic users, but for Ying Chenlin, who often uses mental power to perform delicate operations, he records the upper limit of his right arm almost every few days, from the initial one hour of surgical rehabilitation, gradually extending to several hours, and finally being able to persist for a day or two with moderate relaxation.

But he squeezed out every bit of time carefully. He had to use his right hand more accurately than others. When using the mecha, he tried to drive it with his left hand as much as possible, alternating between his left and right hands to increase his chances of fighting against pollutants.

Fatigue is an irresistible force. When it was so severe, Ying Shenlin was unable to lift his right hand for several days.

But now the doctor told him that once he is fully recovered, he can use his right arm better.

At least you won't have to rest for half a month after a battle.

The doctor continued, "To fully recover, you need to rest completely for two months. During this time, you cannot touch anything with your right hand. Once it is fully reconnected, you can start rehabilitation. All the injections you used before must be replaced with anti-infection injections. I will explain this to Doctor Eric at your base."

Seeing hope in the mecha operator's eyes, the doctor explained everything he needed to say and finally left Ying Chenlin a contact number. Whenever his robotic arm suffered devastating damage or an infection worsened, he could come directly to the Border Force's First Medical Station.

"Thank you." Ying Chenlin said sincerely.

"You're welcome, kid." The doctor looked at him. "I admire your bravery."

He was a person who had been treating border troops for many years. He knew how many border troops had lost due to the hidden danger in the Kolia restricted area. Therefore, he admired the young man Ying Chenlin even more.

The doctor did not continue to disturb Ying Chenlin from resting.

When the door closed, the doctor paused.

You Suwei blocked the glass in front of the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The arm issue has been resolved, but his mental strength issue is not my strong point." The doctor explained, "The range between his mental strength and physical condition is very strange. Cross-level driving will still have a negative impact on him. I can't ignore the mental strength issue just because the right arm issue has been resolved."

"If he's driving a mecha, you guys as teammates still have to keep an eye on him."

The doctor looked at You Su and added, "Lieutenant General Lin specifically told me to tell you about this."

You Su said calmly, "Then go back and tell him that I heard it."

"Lieutenant General Lin is in much better health now." The doctor wanted to say something more, but thinking of the relationship between the man in front of him and Lieutenant General Lin, he finally said nothing more, "Then I'll leave first."

As soon as the doctor left, You Su returned to the ward and noticed Ying Chenlin looking at him.

Ying Chenlin asked: "Did you tell the doctor?"

You Su replied calmly, "He didn't say anything. He just said that your medical expenses were fully covered by the border army, and you don't have to pay for follow-up examinations in the future."

-*

Ever since the doctor came once, Ying Chenlin always felt that time in the ward seemed to have slowed down. He always thought that after some time he would be able to remove the fixation device on his right hand and then try the performance of the new arm. And he didn’t know if it was his illusion, but ever since You Su came to take care of him, apart from the necessary medical care and the kid’s people, few other people came every day.

It was not until Lieutenant Colonel Lu came over once that Ying Chenlin realized that there were people coming to him several times when he was sleeping, but they were stopped outside by You Su on the pretext of resting.

Mr. Qiu came several times during this period and brought him some video footage, which were some of the images of his family that the other party had kept. Ying Chenlin saw photos and videos he had never seen before in that video, as well as his parents when they were young. There is not much information left in his hands. Some of it is old information exported from the Kolya restricted area base station, and some of it is information from when Mr. Qiu worked with his grandfather and mother.

There is very little information about Ying Lingfeng, except for a small amount of records when he occasionally passed through the research institute on a mission.

"Special forces have special missions and rarely show up in front of outsiders." You Su noticed that he was looking up information about the border troops. "For a position like your father's, what Elder Qiu can bring is already a lot. If you want to see it, you have to go to the unit your father originally belonged to."

Ying Chenlin glanced at You Su and said, "You were also a member of the special forces before. What is that place?"

"It's a completely different place from the Mecha Alliance." Seeing his curiosity, You Su said indifferently, "You won't get used to it."

Seeing that Ying Chenlin was spending too much time in the ward, Shen Xingtang came over one time and brought him a large list of purchase materials.

Jiang Simiao is a financial manager and his control over materials is not as good as Shen Xingtang's. However, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao were so exhausted from seeing the materials that they went to the materials market twice and brought back bills that made Shen Xingtang frown.

"Why not buy it when it's on sale?" Ji Qingfeng asked.

Lin Yao: “Buy three, get one free!”

Shen Xingtang said speechlessly: "We can't use this kind of material, and most of the discounted ones are inferior goods! You don't think that the material market is like the materials on Starnet that have been audited layer by layer!"

Ji Qingfeng: "How come the material market on the big planets is even more deceptive than that on Sirius!"

Shen Xingtang glanced at him and said, "I know Sirius very well. I lied to you because I was afraid that I would come looking for me."

Jiang Simiao recalled that there seemed to be a few times when he accompanied Shen Xingtang to the materials market, several material suppliers avoided them when they saw them.

"In order to avoid unnecessary expenses, review the list of materials before selling them."

In the end, Shen Xingtang didn't give them any money and asked them to look at the materials. They could only buy after Ying Chenlin had reviewed the list.

After seeing the huge expense required for the mecha repair, Ying Chenlin looked at the material list more carefully. The repair of other wear and tear of the mecha can be handed over to Grandpa Gu, but the weapons must be handled and checked by him. He must know what parts and materials are needed, the materials expected to be used during the design, etc. If he does not want to waste money, the best way is to specify the materials from the time of design.

This time in Kolia, he had seen the mechas from the Second Star Domain. When dealing with GBK, the other side only used a few mechas to completely hold back them and all of Gale's mechas. If they had not used energy liquid and the mother mantis, they might not have been able to gain an advantage in the confrontation with the Second Star Domain.

There won't be any extra energy tubes to use in the league, and all the mechas have clear regulations on what they can carry. In the league, when facing the mechas from the second star field, they will definitely not be able to beat the opponent in their current situation. Ying Chenlin was used to fighting alone, and this was the first time he saw the strength of other star domain group battle mechas. The opponent's strength might not be inferior to that of a single soldier, and there was even a possibility that 1:1 was far greater than 2.

As they did not sell those expensive S-level energy crystals, they did lose money in Koria this time, but the energy crystals were still useful to them.

The spatial displacement of the mother mantis, the wind attack of the wind blade mantis, the damage conduction of the black spider and the poisonous mist of its accompanying pollutant, the red spider... In addition to this, there is the regenerative ability of the underground space alien species that Shen Xingtang mentioned not long ago.

The border troops did not take the regeneration crystal, but returned it to KID after inspection.

The polluted energy crystals harvested from Qiu Jin last time in KID's base are already being forged into weapons. It's not a bad thing that Huo Yan's Devouring Shield is broken. Ying Chenlin had previously used the special anti-injury effect of the eight vines in the Qiu Jin contaminated area to design an anti-injury shield that can replace Huo Yan's Devouring Shield after he returns.

But these are far from enough. They have no spare money to purchase more energy crystals and can only design weapons based on the limited energy crystal resources on hand. He had seen the designs of Bai Xuyan's gun mecha and the double ice-type weapons that controlled the mecha in the Second Star Domain. They not only used the weapons' abilities, but also used the weapons to create a suitable combat environment.

According to Ji Feng and Ying Chenlin's prediction of the future, the mecha bases in other star fields have strong financial resources, and a mecha may have multiple backup weapons. Before the mecha enters the field, the mecha masters on the same field do not know what weapons the other side will use... If only one set of weapons is always used, the team will fall into a passive state, especially after the introduction of medical mechas in the future competition system, the tolerance rate will be higher and the difficulty of confrontation will become higher.

KID’s current situation is not acceptable. In addition to the need to design weapons and improve mecha performance, it is also necessary to provide multiple backup options based on the medical system’s combat methods.

Therefore, the current situation facing KID can be said to be completely unrelieved. They are still very poor and even have to pay more money to purchase suitable energy crystals. If you really want to play a game, you should not limit yourself to the Dawn Galaxy, you should go to wider star fields and star alliances to achieve a virtuous cycle and obtain better resources.

And now all they can offer is a set of weapons system.

When placed on the Star Alliance, it is totally not enough to fight against it.

Ying Chenlin sent the list of required materials to Jiang Simiao for procurement, and then searched for information about the medical mecha.

You Su noticed his movements. After seeing him export the data of the medical mecha, he was still modifying the blueprint. "Medical mecha?"

"Well, buying a medical mecha is too expensive. We can modify it according to the mecha models in the base." Ying Chenlin has his own plan. He has prepared a lot of design drawings. Originally, he planned to export Yuan's intelligence to the new mecha. Now he can barely drive Yuan. In fact, there is a better plan. "The modification will cost less. We don't have enough time. We have to prepare in advance."

These preparations lasted for more than half a month. When Ying Chenlin was able to leave the medical station to monitor the ward, people were sent from the First Star Domain Border Army.

Regarding Ying Chenlin's inheritance, Ying Chenlin needs to go to the border army to sign the procedures.

The Border Force headquarters was near the medical station, and everyone else had other things to do that day.

Under Shen Xingtang's instructions, the only person who would accompany Ying Chenlin was You Su.

The border army was heavily guarded, and they passed through many checkpoints before they reached the meeting room of the First General Army from the entrance.

There was no one else in the meeting room except Ying Chenlin and You Su. After a while, a soldier came and took You Su away.

You Su frowned slightly. After hearing what the soldier said, he told Ying Chenlin, "I'm going out for a while. Wait for me to come back if you have any questions."//

Less than two minutes after You Su left, another door of the conference room opened.

A powerful man walked in, and Ying Chenlin was slightly startled when he saw him.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man replied: "I had him sent away. He is not suitable to be here."

Ying Chenlin looked at the man in front of him who looked similar to You Su, and a possibility emerged in his mind, "Lieutenant General Lin?"

Lieutenant General Lin did not deny it and asked the soldier to hand him a new data pad.

A list of inheritance was placed in front of Ying Chenlin. He glanced at it and found that this list had several more items than the one on the data board in the ward... and there were a few special items at the end of the list.

"The inheritance procedures for your father's estate are complicated." The man lowered his eyes slightly, "Son, you need to read this list carefully again."

Ying Chenlin was slightly startled, his gaze stopped at the back.

Among the newly added items, there are two special S-level energy crystals and two notebooks.

"Two manuscripts, one of which is a note left by your father."

Lieutenant General Lin said: "You need to understand your father."

The author has something to say:

Congratulations in advance on unlocking the special legacy√

There will be more updates soon, it’s very late, don’t wait!
