Chapter 129

You Su didn't say anything else. Ying Chenlin had some doubts in his heart but didn't ask any more questions.

After coming out of the medical station, Shen Xingtang had booked a spaceship ticket with plenty of time, so they returned to Sirius with a series of materials purchased from other places for making weapons and repairing mechas.

Including the time spent in hospital, KID and his team had been away from Sirius for more than two months.

between. Doctor Eric was asked to go on a business trip midway and brought back all of Ying Chenlin's medical records during his hospitalization. As soon as he returned to the base, he took Ying Chenlin away for a detailed physical examination.

Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao were dragged by Jiang Simiao to the warehouse to sort materials. KID was very short of money now and urgently needed to sell the piled up materials through the online store to make some money back.

When Jiang Simiao calculated the money he would have to spend, he felt his heart bleeding.

But at least everyone in KID was united in making money. Even Huo Yan, who had just recovered from a back injury, brought Lu Xi to help. The materials originally sent back were sorted out by Gu Xiaotian, and the only thing left was to adjust to the new ones...

When the online store was mentioned, Gu Xiaotian said, "Brother Jiang, the previous online store manager, Brother Zhang, has submitted his resignation."

"What!? Xiao Zhang is going to resign!?" Jiang Simiao was shocked.

Xiao Zhang, the customer service manager of KID online store, has skilled business skills and has put KID's online store operations on the right track since he started working at KID. As someone who had screened countless resumes, Jiang Simiao knew that it was difficult to find a professional online store manager like Xiao Zhang. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately went to find Shen Xingtang.

While others were busy with the online store, Ying Chenlin was allowed by Dr. Eric to finally step into the KID maintenance room again. After not being in the maintenance room for a while, Ying Chenlin realized that during his recuperation, the maintenance room was kept in order by Grandpa Gu. The spare mechas were sent to the mecha storage room, and all the mechas that Koria had worn out were placed in the parking spaces in the maintenance room.

As for the damaged mechas, Grandpa Gu had already developed a maintenance plan while KID and the others were in the hospital. Two mechas have been repaired now, but the weapons of the remaining mechas were severely damaged, so they need to wait for Ying Chenlin to come back before a suitable repair plan can be specified.

In the past two months, Grandpa Gu has cooperated a lot with the engineers of Jianheng Technology upstairs, and there have been obvious new progress in A-level parts technology. Therefore, when Shen Xingtang went to discuss the sponsorship cooperation plan for the new season with Jianheng, Boss Zhou generously gave KID a wave of money to solve KID's urgent need to repair the mecha.

Jianheng Company has a very good attitude towards the KID base. It even noticed that there were media outlets outside the KID base during this period, and dispatched several security robots to patrol the entrance of the KID base. Boss Zhou never cares about KID's affairs, but he is never stingy when it comes to giving money. After Shen Xingtang got the money, he immediately asked someone to make a bigger billboard. In the face of the gift from the sponsor, they must perform well next season.

The method used by Ying Chenlin can only be used by himself, and the method provided to Jianheng can only improve the accuracy by a few points. However, after Grandpa Gu joined the research, Jianheng Company's parts progress was faster than before. But this is a good thing for KID. The advancement of the parts market means that the initial parts will have better accuracy, and will gradually push the reform of parts technology to the level of the previous life.

Perhaps it was because there had been new progress in the research of spare parts. When he saw Grandpa Gu again, Ying Chenlin found that the old man looked much better than when he first came to KID a few months ago. He walked briskly in the maintenance room and didn't even need auxiliary tools to get on and off the mecha.

After Grandpa Gu told Ying Chenlin about the mecha that needed to be repaired, he said, "You said you wanted to modify the medical mecha. Jianheng also sent us two templates of the current A-level medical mecha on the market. They said it would be helpful for us to modify it. Do you have time to modify it?"

"Yes." Ying Chenlin took the template passed to him by Grandpa Gu, "Thank Boss Zhou for me next time."

"Boss Zhou asked me to say thank you because he heard you were sick. He wanted to visit you when he passed by the military hospital, but the security there was tight, so he didn't go in." Grandpa Gu stood with his hands behind his back. Seeing Ying Chenlin looking at the template, he asked curiously, "Since you want to modify a mecha, which mecha do you want to start with? From the basic performance of a medical mecha, it should be similar to a control mecha."

"I want to modify it into a single-soldier mecha." Ying Chenlin said.

When Grandpa Gu heard this, he was a little surprised.

Individual-soldier mechas and group-battle mechas are not in the same system, and medical mechas are now listed in group-battle mechas. If Ying Chenlin wants to start modifying individual-soldier mechas, the workload will be greater than using control mechas, and the modification difficulty will also be higher.

Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the mecha key hanging slightly around his neck.

Two more rings were added to the red string of the mecha necklace, colliding with the key and the memory. He said, "Don't worry, I have an idea for modification in mind."

He has been thinking about the idea of ​​modifying individual mechas since his previous life, and the drawings have undergone many revisions. Time is indeed tight, but only by starting with individual mecha training can Yuan return to the league stage.

"It will take time to modify the mecha... The most urgent thing is to solve the weapons issue first."

Ying Chenlin closed the template of the medical mecha and passed the weapon manuscript he had made during his hospital stay to Grandpa Gu, "Take a look at this."

"Did you draw so many manuscripts?" Grandpa Gu received the weapon manuscript drawn by Ying Chenlin. "The boss said that the elimination round may start at the end of the year. We have less than half a year left."

Seeing that Ying Chenlin has drawn so many manuscripts, I wonder how much free time this young man has during his hospitalization. If they really want to make the weapons in the manuscripts and combine them with Qiu Jin’s batch of weapons, they will not only have to manufacture the weapons in half a year, but also need to leave a running-in period for the mecha technicians to test the weapons... Half a year is indeed a bit tight.

"Have you finished testing Qiu Jin's weapons?" Ying Chenlin asked.

Grandpa Gu had already finished testing Qiu Jin's weapons during his time at the base. "It's done, but there were some problems with the testing."

A weapons storage room was opened up in the narrow KID basement, where discarded weapons and newly developed weapons were placed. Ying Chenlin followed Grandpa Gu into the storage room, only to find that the originally messy storage room had been tidied up by the old man. Medium-sized storage devices were placed on the shelves in the distance, and weapons were placed in each storage device.

Grandpa Gu took Ying Chenlin to the innermost shelf, which had four layers, corresponding to the four new weapons.

Ever since he had made disassembled weapons for Theo, Ying Chenlin now adds detachable bayonet to each of his weapon designs. On the one hand, it is to facilitate the disassembly of the weapons, and on the other hand, it is also to prepare for the new competition system in the future.

Ying Chenlin opened the virtual screen under the shelf, and a three-dimensional model of the weapon immediately popped up on the virtual screen, with all the test data recorded on it. The first weapon in the row is the energy crystal of the eight vines that Ying Chenlin killed in the Qiujin pollution area.

The eight vines are tough, especially the core part which has the ability to counter-injury and can rebound the damage inflicted by the mecha pilot. Ying Chenlin realized it was tricky when he first fought it, so when he got this energy crystal, the first thing he thought of was to make a weapon for Huo Yan.

Nowadays, the defensive weapons of tank mechas in the Mecha Alliance are mostly high-resistance defense shields, whose main goal is to resolve the damage received. Toughness-type energy crystals have always been the preferred weapon core of shield-type weapons. The Devouring Shield that Ying Chenlin initially made for Huo Yan is not actually a large-scale defensive weapon. The Devouring Shield has an excellent defensive effect against artillery attacks, but in comparison, its resistance is not as good as the resistance shield made of Zhao Lejie's high-strength and tough ability.

But the special nature of the eight vines is obvious to all. It is a rare and tough plant-based pollutant that also carries anti-damage crystals.

"A tough anti-injury shield." Grandpa Gu looked at the weapon designed by Ying Chenlin. "Anti-injury is a relatively rare ability, but few people can make it into a shield weapon. Anti-injury is different from resistance. While rebounding damage, the pressure exerted on the weapon is also real. The tolerance limit of this weapon is lower than that of ordinary shield weapons. For example, 100% sniper cannon shooting, multiple shots are likely to bring devastating pressure to it."

This is also the reason why anti-damage shield weapons are difficult to make.

After listening to Grandpa Gu's words, Ying Chenlin had new thoughts on the shape of the anti-injury shield. He took an electronic pen and made a new plan for the shape of the anti-injury shield, "We can change its external shape to a streamlined shape."

Grandpa Gu was stunned when he heard what Ying Chenlin said. Generally speaking, in order to take into account the protection range, defensive weapons are made into a 360-degree protection mode with no blind spots. Streamlined defensive weapons also mean giving up all-round protection.

Ying Chenlin's strokes outlined a streamlined shape, which was actually just adding lines extending backwards to the original mecha's shield-shaped light shield design. This design means that the defensive weapon can only protect a 180-degree frontal area, leaving the rear completely exposed.

This was also something he had considered originally. Since the anti-injury shield could not provide high defense, he would try to maximize its anti-injury effect. !

In his previous life, Ying Chenlin had done some testing, and he knew that the control of shield weapons actually depended entirely on the mecha pilot's level of operation.

A tank mecha division with high operating skills can adjust the defense angle according to the changes on the field. Huo Yan is this type of mecha division. He is bold and careful, dares to charge and is reckless. In fact, he always opens the shield to protect his teammates in a very timely manner.

Such a mecha pilot can fully use half-pack defensive weapons.

"We reduce the output range of shield weapons and focus the main defense on the front. This way, we can double the special toughness of the eight vines." Ying Chenlin demonstrated the attack route with a pen. "If the attack comes from the front, the anti-damage shield can rebound some of the long-range damage. The damage that cannot be rebounded can be dispersed through the streamlined design. The power output brought by the attack can be reduced, reducing the pressure on the shield."

The Alliance has regulations on weapon modification, which state that one weapon cannot use two types of energy crystals, and the maximum energy output is also limited. With this design, a damage-return rate of more than 60% is sufficient, and the rest of the effort must be put into the shield's frontal damage-bearing capacity.

Grandpa Gu understood Ying Chenlin's idea after hearing this. He reduced the output surface to increase the shield's resistance, and then increased the shield's bearing capacity by modifying the shield's shape. "You can import the model and test it again, but if it is streamlined, the rear will lose protection, and it will be more difficult for Huo Yan to operate."

He suddenly saw Ying Chenlin opening the test interface of another weapon, "So the second knife I made for him will be useful."

At that time, Qiu Jin had two supernatural crystals, and the supernatural crystal of Ba Tiao Teng was designed by Ying Chenlin into an anti-injury shield, and the air-shock supernatural power of the little gorilla was placed by Ying Chenlin on Huo Yan's knife. Huo Yan often uses two weapons, one is a defensive weapon and protective shield, and the other is a lightsaber.

The lightsaber is a melee weapon, but Ying Chenlin didn't want it to be just an ordinary melee weapon. KID's worst feature was the control of the melee front row, so Ying Chenlin used the little gorilla's air shock ability to make an air shock sword. When Huo Yan used this sword, the air shock weapon core embedded in the weapon could be used to achieve the effect of shocking and knocking back.

The design of the anti-damage shield is destined to be a weak point in defense, and sometimes attacking instead of defending has a more obvious effect.

Once a mecha crosses the defense range of the anti-damage shield and wants to attack Huo Yan, the air shock knife can achieve the effect of knocking the mecha away or repelling, thereby passively achieving a defensive effect. Not only that, this knife can even supplement KID's front-row control during melee team battles.

When Ying Chenlin was explaining the weapon design, the expression on his face could not be concealed at all.

Grandpa Gu stood by and watched. From the moment he met this young man, he discovered not only his talent in mecha driving and maintenance, but also his creative ideas about weapons. As the saying goes, only those who are in the industry know the inside story. When designing weapons, he always starts from the mecha pilot himself and designs weapons according to the mecha pilot's operating habits.

Seeing Ying Chenlin opening the virtual screen of the third weapon, Grandpa Gu stopped looking.

Even though he had tested this weapon many times beforehand, he couldn't help but stop when he saw it. The weapon shown in the picture was a long stick, like the long stick weapons recorded in ancient Chinese history, but its function was not limited to close combat.

This is a weapon with a stick as its core carrier. Its weapon core is the [Sand Lizard] from the polluted area of ​​Tianyu Star. That space-enhancing pollutant alien

Energy crystal. When seeing this weapon, Grandpa Gu found it hard to imagine that someone would install a space-enhancing energy crystal on a melee weapon, but Ying Chenlin did it and spent a long time designing and researching this weapon.

Space-enhancing weapons. In today's mecha alliance, more people will try to make this weapon into a field weapon, applying an enhanced magnetic field to assist the mecha of their teammates in a specific space. But in response to Chen Lin's action, the dual attributes of this energy crystal were separated by him, and the enhanced attributes were applied to melee stick weapons, which could present a powerful attack force, making the effect of a stick hit twice that of other weapons.

The spatial attribute, however, was made into something else.

The long stick in the virtual screen stands upright in the middle, with the position of the long stick as the core range, thus unfolding a specific prototype space. This special transparent space inherited the spatial characteristics that the sand lizard used to separate all people. It divided the battlefield into two parts, like a huge cage. The divided space completely separated the inside and the outside.

Ying Chenlin looked at the various data of the long stick and said, "It seems that the test of this weapon is okay."

Grandpa Gu said, "There is indeed a precedent for the use of space weapons by the Guardian Mecha, but isn't it a bit of a waste of its dual-attribute performance to divide the weapon's characteristics into two directions?"

"No." Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes: "No matter how good the superpower is, it can only be considered a good weapon if it is used well. We mecha divisions are not suitable for gathering together, and space enhancement is useless to us... On the contrary, separation is the most suitable weapon to divide the battlefield."

This was also the combat weapon that Ying Chenlin had adjusted to be the most suitable for Lin Yao.

After looking at the three weapons, Grandpa Gu wanted to say something more, but suddenly he saw Ying Chenlin walking towards the last shelf.

The weapon placed there was the fourth weapon that Ying Chenlin made for You Su. However, this time, after he finished looking at the data, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was not satisfied with some of the values.

“There are very few wind-attributed materials in our base. Only by using wind-attributed materials can the performance of this weapon be improved.” Grandpa Gu looked at the weapon. You Su’s weapon was the most difficult for them to make. After all, Theo’s foundation was an S-class mecha. Even if it was an S-class supernatural crystal as the core energy source, they still had to consider using a large amount of S-class materials.

With this calculation, some of the A-level weapon parts originally in the KID base will be difficult to use for this type of weapon.

"Then we'll make S-grade parts." Ying Chenlin made the decision. "To make weapons well, we need to check their performance first. And making so many weapons requires a lot of S-grade materials, so making S-grade parts will get the most return."

On the contrary, they are not afraid of wasting S-grade materials. With Grandpa Gu in charge, the material consumption is controllable... Moreover, when making S-grade parts, they have the opportunity to screen them. Parts with unsatisfactory precision can be put on the online store for auction to make up for the loss, and parts with suitable precision can be kept for use in weapons.

Many mecha bases are preparing for war now... Maybe we can take this opportunity to get more good materials back.

-

An internal meeting had just been held at the Gale Base. Facing the upcoming new season and the energy crystals harvested from the contaminated area, all the mecha technicians were making full preparations. It was no secret that KID Mecha Division returned to Sirius. There had been discussions on the Starnet since they landed at the Sirius Air Station.

In the past two months, many mecha bases have been cleared out, but KID has disappeared without a trace.

Only a few bases including Jifeng knew that KID was on vacation and recuperating in the border military medical station. Other Starnet netizens who didn't know just thought that KID had entered the annual limited period of slacking off. The gate of the base had never been opened, the official blog of Starnet hadn't been updated for more than two months, and the online store hadn't put any materials on the shelves for more than half a month. It could be said that there were no new parts at all.

Therefore, when the media people in the industry were planning to give up on keeping an eye on KID, this group of people, carrying large and small bags as if they were returning from a trip, entered the Sirius base in a grand manner.

The accident in the Koria contaminated area was finally reported in the form of a notice briefly explaining the unusual situation, blocking the curiosity of netizens on the Star Network. A disaster that had not yet occurred was completely suppressed by the Border Army, including the details of the Dawn Mecha Division's joint clearing mission.

The only downside is that there are too many people trying to get information.

YDS Black Crow tacitly agreed not to disclose the matter to the outside world. KID had been in hiding for two months. During this period, countless mecha bases came to Jifeng to inquire about the news. Everyone was trying to find out about the supernatural crystals. After all, in about half a year, a new mecha league would begin.

Zhang thought things were on the right track until his intern came to report about the KID online store. "Resign!"

It was embarrassing enough to work as an online customer service representative for 4,000 star coins. Thinking about the fact that he had given KID 50 million star coins for reimbursement, Zhang Ge now started to have a headache whenever he saw KID's online store. He wished he could cut off all ties with KID immediately.

During the time when Brother Zhang went to Kolya, the intern had been covering for him. He came to find him as soon as he received the news: "Boss Shen said we'd raise our salary."

Brother Zhang was unmoved. He had been watching for such a long time but didn't see any movement from that person. "He won't go even if the salary is raised."

The intern continued, "But it seems that KID's online store is going to have new products recently. They have received a lot of materials... Oh, and about the parts issue you are concerned about, KID seems to be short of money, so they have started selling weapon parts."

Brother Zhang had a blank expression on his face. "It's not the first time they've sold weapon parts. What's so strange about that?"

"But KID seems to be very short of money. The weapon parts they started selling have reached a new high in precision. It seems that they are all the work of designer Yuan." The intern continued: "And this time they are not ordinary A-level parts, they are selling parts for competition-level mechas!"

Brother Zhang straightened his back immediately: "Parts of a competition-level mecha? A-level?"

"Not only A-level, but also S-level parts." The intern said, "They are also preparing to hold a Star Network auction. Now many bases have received the news and sent people to stake out KID's online store!"

"S-class parts!?" Brother Zhang was stunned. KID did produce S-class parts before, but he had never seen so many high-precision S-class parts all at once in all the time he had worked at KID. Moreover, KID sold parts, but this was their first time auctioning S-class parts. "How poor are they to auction off S-class parts of this precision? And weapon parts!?"

The intern shook his head. "Master Liu from the maintenance department even asked me for information. He said that parts with that kind of precision are rare and can be said to be the highest in the Dawn Galaxy at present... Not only the Dawn Galaxy, the news they released seems to have spread to other galaxies, and there are mecha masters from other galaxies who are also squatting there."

"Master Liu also asked me if I had any channels. We have also been making weapons recently and need high-precision parts..." The intern was thinking about continuing the conversation, but when he thought about how his boss was about to resign from KID, it might not be so easy to get first-hand information from the channels.

Brother Zhang was silent for a while, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "Did our base send anyone to stake out?"

"I've been waiting, but it's not clear yet when they will start the auction." Before the intern could finish his words, he suddenly saw the man in front of him stand up, and Xiao Zhang's chat account had been logged into the computer.

Intern: "Brother Zhang?"

Brother Zhang logged into his account and changed his tone: "I will resign after a while."

"KID, have you finished your other tasks? You still have time to sell S-level parts. They haven't given any explanation about Zhao Lejie's weapons yet." Brother Zhang hurriedly contacted Shen Xingtang. As soon as he contacted him, he remembered another thing, "You said KID's salary increased?"

The intern nodded.

Brother Zhang coughed and asked, "How much did they raise my salary to keep me?"

The intern saw that there seemed to be a hint of expectation in Brother Zhang's eyes, and then he said cautiously: "Brother, it has increased by 300."

The author has something to say:

Intern: Bro, you are worthless.

There will be more updates, don’t wait~!
