In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand sl...
Chapter 237
Chapter 237
After the time of the Star Domain Competition was set, KID entered a busy training period.
After a brief understanding of the basic rules of the Star Domain Tournament, they need to conduct adaptive training based on the special combat rhythm of the Star Domain Tournament.
Jiang Simiao imported all the routine models used by all the strong teams into the virtual warehouse for special training for the mecha masters, so that the mecha masters can quickly familiarize themselves with the combat styles of each team. "Tactics are changing, but the combat style of mecha masters is difficult to change in a short period of time. Our goal is to understand the opponent's mecha masters."
As the training time became longer, Ying Chenlin rarely went to the maintenance room. Grandpa Gu was in charge of the replacement of the S-class mecha embryos, the mecha weapon research and development was on track, and the weapon data was also imported into their virtual warehouse for daily use.
On the day when the official announcement of the Star Domain Competition was made, with the support of KID's existing powerful team of maintenance technicians, their S-class embryo mechas had been replaced and were able to enter the mecha division for debugging training.
Ying Chenlin has been going in and out of Dr. Eric's medical room during this period. The 30-day continuous battle is not a big problem for other mecha warriors, but it is a great test for him. In the previous long battle in the contaminated area of Keze Floating Island, he needed to adjust his rest time to maintain his combat level. But this time he is going to the First Star Region, and with strong teams surrounding him, there is not much rest time left for him.
Doctor Eric has been observing Ying Chenlin's mental state since he returned from the Covenant mission. Ying Chenlin exhausted his mental power twice in the Slared contaminated area but did not fall into a coma. The mental power in his brain did not enter a period of scarcity like before. Instead, it continued to provide weak mental power like squeezing toothpaste, allowing the mecha pilot to stay awake at all times.
Doctor Eric was very surprised to see this situation. Ying Chenlin's mental fluctuations spanning from two A's to S was already a special case in medical history. Now this special case had actually entered a stable change phase and achieved a delicate balance.
Ying Chenlin asked: "What should I pay attention to during the Star Domain Tournament?"
"I still suggest that you do not fight for more than three days, and rest for 7-8 hours in between." Eric continued according to the medical report: "If you maintain this pace of mental output, you should be able to last for 30 days... I do not recommend you to drive the Abyss."
"Although Yuan has been modified into an S-class medical mecha and its output value is adjusted according to your current mental state, it is still essentially an S-class mecha." Doctor Eric continued, "I analyzed the consumption of driving different mechas in your Star Alliance missions. The consumption when driving Yuan is twice that of driving an A-class mecha. I heard from Shen Xingtang that she has prepared an S-class embryo mecha for you as a backup. You can drive Yuan for short-term battles, but I don't recommend it for long-term battles. I'm not sure if you can hold on to the end given the changes in consumption."
Ying Chenlin's current mental power is not completely stable at the S level, and his normal output is more like A level. Only when Ying Chenlin adjusts the output frequency can he be forced to resonate with Yuan to the point of driving the mecha. His mental power has grown, and he can adapt to the combat rhythm of two or three days, but driving Yuan for 30 days is undoubtedly a risky behavior.
Arriving at a state of mental power output that is like squeezing toothpaste after mental power is scarce is rare. This is the first time that Dr. Eric has accepted such a patient. Many situations need to be analyzed in detail. "Your mental power is not as strong as the S-level stage. You can understand that it is like a stage of slow output now. I don't know how you can force empathy to stabilize your mental power at the S-level, but if your brain area forcibly mobilizes a large amount of mental power every time, I am worried that it will cause some sequelae of genetic diseases."
Ying Chenlin was silent for a while after listening to this, and then said, "I understand."
Doctor Eric said: "But that was the worst result I expected."
Ying Chenlin paused and looked at Dr. Eric in confusion.
"Shen Xingtang didn't let me tell you because she was afraid you would take risks, but I still want to explain this to you." Eric lowered his head and searched in the cabinet, and finally took out the data board that was at the bottom, "Here, look at this."
"The picture on the left shows the changes in your mental power when you normally drive the mecha, and the picture on the right shows the changes I see every time you carry out high-risk missions... I found that your mental power will expand every time you use it at high intensity when you are on the verge of desperate situations."
To make it easier for Ying Chenlin to understand, Doctor Eric said, "You maintenance people should know that flexible channels will become wider and wider each time the energy expands. You can imagine that your mental power will also pass through such channels when it comes out of your brain and spreads throughout your body. When I first came into contact with your medical records, your mental power channel was only about one finger wide for an adult, but now it is three fingers wide."
There was a hint of surprise in Ying Chenlin's eyes.
Doctor Eric said, "You should have noticed that your mental power output is becoming more and more stable. The fatigue you experienced when mobilizing your mental power has been delayed... Shen Xingtang didn't let me tell you this because she was afraid that you would take the risk of challenging your limits before I found a solution. I understand her concerns, but I have to tell you this so that I can communicate with you effectively when I study your condition later."
The two talked for a while, and Dr. Eric gave him a brief introduction to his condition and finally prescribed him a week's worth of medicine.
"These medicines are used to regulate your mental strength. You will need to inject them once a day one week before you participate in the Star Domain Tournament."
Ying Chenlin said thank you and left. After he left, Dr. Eric put away the data tablet on the desktop and called up the brain status map that had just been hidden in the virtual screen. One was Ying Chenlin's current brain map, and the other was the brain map he got from Ying Chenlin's genetic disease surgeon.
At first, Ying Chenlin's mental power declined, and the area in his brain responsible for mental power underwent severe pathological atrophy. Now, this pathological atrophy in Ying Chenlin's brain has undergone expansive changes.
Doctor Eric turned the electronic pen in his hand and wrote again -
[A feasible plan to restore the symptoms of pathological neuraxial atrophy caused by genetic disease. ]

It was the first time that netizens in the Dawn Galaxy saw so many Dawn teams going out to participate in the star domain competition. The live broadcast platform in the galaxy had cooperated with the competition committee of the First Star Domain to build a direct channel early on, and had been warming up for the star domain competition for several days in advance. Well-known mecha anchors often analyzed the strong teams in the First Star Domain in the live broadcast room.
"The strongest should be the Aegis base in the Aries Galaxy. Needless to say, they have been the overlord of the first star field for five consecutive years. They are a team that uses shield attacks as its main system."
A streamer then analyzed: "Under the Aegis, the teams that can rank in the top ten in the historical rankings are strong enough to directly participate in the Star Alliance Tournament. For example, JIAZI, which has been ranked second for a long time, is a pure fire team that mainly uses fire attacks and is extremely good at fierce attacks. The third-placed YOU is a representative of the pull-and-pull tactics that mainly uses wood-based strong control. Their tactical systems are very mature."
The anchor who was doing the live broadcast had been broadcasting the Star Region Tournament in the Dawn Galaxy for many years, so he was very familiar with the situation of the Star Region Tournament. "From the current situation of the First Star Region, there was a double quota. The Swift Black Crow played very well and squeezed into the top ten to go to the Star Alliance Tournament, but it was only that time. Usually, the normal performance of our Dawn Galaxy ranks 12th or 13th among the 15 star systems. It can only be said to be the last one."
[For someone like Ji Feng, the best result is ninth place in the Star Domain Tournament. 】
[Doesn't that mean that the top eight teams in the First Star Region can all outperform Jifeng? 】
[Our Dawn's performance this year is not bad either. The performance level of YDS has improved, the No. 1 KID has become even stronger... and the strength of the remaining eight teams has improved compared to previous years. With the new competition system, the level of other teams may decline. 】
"The Star Domain Tournament is not that easy to win." The anchor continued, "But the fact that so many teams are participating in the Star Domain Tournament is a huge breakthrough for Shuguang, which has always been at a disadvantage in team battles. This shows that the mecha masters have worked hard in the past two years. We are ranked 20th in the Star Alliance mission. Maybe we can get better results this year!"
[Aren’t you guys underestimating the strong teams? 】
[We have so many places, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to embarrass ourselves later…]
[I've been watching the public star network of the First Star Region these days. Many people are mocking us for getting the Dawn quota by cheating. Damn it, I'll just throw the Star Alliance mission notice in their faces. 】◎This◎work◎is◎made◎by◎
The Star Domain Tournament was attended by 52 teams. While warming up on the Star Network, the participating teams had already arrived at the planet near the Asta contaminated zone in the Aries Galaxy a week in advance. KID used his connections with Boss Zhou to get a medium-sized spaceship for this trip. The spaceship carried KID's mecha engineer team and maintenance engineer team. Four days before the official start of the Star Domain Tournament, the team arrived at the Aries Galaxy and rented a temporary maintenance plant there to make final adjustments to the mecha.
As soon as he arrived at the Aries galaxy, he met an acquaintance. The Jifeng base and other bases also arrived early. As soon as he left the spaceship, Shen Xingtang went to talk to Brother Zhang, the person in charge of Jifeng.
"Sister Tang and Lao Zhang have a good relationship recently?" Ji Qingfeng said after seeing it.
Jiang Simiao said: "Indeed, we have contacted more frequently. It was Jifeng who helped us find that temporary repair shop."
"Why did you call Lao Zhang?" Huo Yan asked.
Ji Qingfeng has been playing virtual battlefields on Starnet with Zhao Lejie, Hu Luobu, Chi Liz and others during this period. He often hears Zhao Lejie calling Lao Zhang, "I heard that their boss is a model worker, working day and night shifts every day. I can't believe that Lao Zhang is still in good shape!"
Brother Zhang in the distance sneezed, and then discussed other things with Shen Xingtang.
The leaders of the four major bases had become closer because of the Star Alliance mission. In order to save money, Black Crow helped to coordinate the rental of the hotel for their temporary residence. They directly rented four floors and gave them to the mecha technicians and maintenance technicians of the four major bases to rest. KID was the last to arrive. When he arrived, people from other teams had already checked in. The hotel provided a double room, and before Ying Chenlin could say anything, Huo Yan had already tacitly agreed that he and You Su should share a room, and even handed the hotel meal card to You Su.
"The scenery is good." Huo Yan said, "The location is also quiet."
Ying Chenlin: “…”
Zhao Lejie happened to be out looking for Hu Luobu to play, and when he looked over here he saw KID allocating rooms. His eyes involuntarily glanced at the two mecha technicians standing behind KID, and he saw that the two men were wearing two T-shirts, one black and one white, with exactly the same floral prints.
"What's the situation with their medical care and firearms?" Zhao Lejie asked.
Hu Luobu: "...I am not blind, I am wearing the same clothes."
Zhao Lejie: "Is he so strong that he has to control what his teammates wear?"
Hu Luobu noticed You Su's gaze in the distance, and turned Zhao Lejie's head away, saying, "Close your eyes, he's looking at you!"
Seeing Ji Qingfeng coming over, Zhao Lejie and Hu Luobu had no choice but to look at each other.
Ji Qingfeng paused, turned his head and looked behind him, "Oh, that, don't you know that it's a brother's costume?"
This was a discount item from the clothing store that their brother You often bought from. He heard that it was a buy one get one free deal, and Ji Qingfeng thought the style was pretty good. "Yaobao and I also want to get one. I asked him for the store address but he ignored me."
Lin Yao: "Yeah, if the discount is big, I'll buy six sets to wear as a base for my team uniform."
Zhao Lejie didn't understand: "...you
Our kids love to wear the same style! ”
Ying Chenlin was unaware of the discussion of the other mecha masters. When he followed You Su to the room with his suitcase, the window seat was reserved for him by You Su. The two of them had lived in the same room together many times when they went out. Ying Chenlin stopped at the inner position and did not leave. He glanced sideways at You Su. There was no white medical bandage on the other's neck. The loose T-shirt covered his injured upper arm. Through a layer of clothes, Ying Chenlin knew where the scar was.
“Not accepting anything?” You Su looked over.
Ying Chenlin retracted his gaze and looked down at the same print on his T-shirt as You Su's. "Right away."
Except for Gale and Black Crow, all the other members of Dawn are participating in the war for the first time. They are opponents on the battlefield, but still friends outside of it. After leaving the Dawn Galaxy, they shared all the intelligence publicly, and the intelligence about the strong teams in the First Star Domain was made public internally. This time, there were 8 teams participating in the Dawn Competition, but there would be none next time. This time, in addition to competing for their own ranking in the Star Alliance Tournament, they also had to assist the Dawn Galaxy in gaining a favorable ranking in the Star Domain Tournament.
"It's best not to meet the top four teams, which are SHIELD, Jiazi, You and Zuoy." Brother Zhang said, "Star Domain Competition also depends on luck. It's best not to fight hard in a game. The harder you fight, the more disadvantageous it will be in the later stages. The final judgment will be based on the ranking of the competition system. You have to play well, and the prerequisite is to squeeze up the ranking."
Jiang Simiao felt overwhelmed when he saw these strong teams, "Our KID brought out all his old tricks this time."
Brother Zhang said: "..."
You KIDs always reveal your past.
-
The Asta contaminated area is located at the edge of the Aries Galaxy in the first star field and has been a contaminated area for no more than two hundred years.
This planet was originally the residence of the citizens of the Star Alliance. Later, due to force majeure, a large amount of pollutants were exposed, causing the pollution value of the planet to soar rapidly in just a few years. Finally, it was included in the pollution management of the Aries Galaxy and became a special pollution area.
Among all the competition-level pollution zones in the First Star Domain, this pollution zone has the most artificial terrain. The pollution value range of this pollution zone is 5000 to 6000, which belongs to the Level 4 pollution zone. More than 70% of the area is artificial terrain. It was once the first line of defense for the Aries Galaxy in the First Star Domain to resist the impact of border pollution. 200 years ago, it was a fortress planet. All buildings on the planet were built with special materials, and its level of defense against destructive forces caused by various factors is second only to the base station defense shield.
Therefore, in the two hundred years since Asta became a polluted area, even though it has been invaded by a large amount of pollutants, the artificial terrain and building scale still retain the same conditions as 200 years ago. As a former inhabited planet, Asta's areas and terrain are very evenly distributed, with clear divisions between cities, forests, underground, airspace and other areas, high and low buildings, and undulating terrain... This kind of terrain is very difficult for mecha pilots to operate.
Netizens of the Dawn Galaxy began to conduct a tactical analysis. There are many strong teams in the First Star Domain, and Dawn's performance this year is also pretty good. They should be able to occupy a front row position among the middle and lower-level teams. Just as the netizens were in this anxious state, the day of the Star Domain Tournament arrived in the blink of an eye.
There were no on-site spectator seats for the Star Domain Tournament. The entire event was broadcast live through a virtual star network. Netizens from all major galaxies gathered together. Each virtual network line was crowded. Netizens crowded in the front row of the audience held up their own team's cheering signs.
In the past, Shuguang had few participating teams, so the support was limited to one or two teams.
There are many teams participating in this event, and fans of each team are working hard to cheer for the team, for fear that the Dawn Galaxy will be looked down upon by people from other galaxies. Of course, the outcome of the game is uncertain, but the momentum must not be lost to that of other galaxies.
Many people from other galaxies in the First Star Region were paying attention to the Dawn Galaxy. A galaxy that was at the bottom of the list suddenly got 8 places and ranked 20th in the Star Alliance mission.
The sudden emergence of the battle record aroused the curiosity of too many people. The only thing they knew about the Dawn Galaxy was the Swift Crows. They had never heard of KID, the team ranked first in the Dawn this year. After checking, they found out that this team just ranked first in the new year. The only thing worthy of attention was that their medical mecha was the sink, the single-soldier overlord of the Star Alliance back then.
In order to get more information about this team, everyone went to the official blog to check it out.
All I could see was the KID online store, and the official blog of the operation department seemed to be overgrown with weeds. The latest official blog post was a group photo of the entire team outside the Yasta Polluted Zone Management Bureau. A large group of people were crowded together, including mecha technicians and maintenance technicians. There was not even a single photo of a mecha technician setting off. The large picture mixed together looked like some kind of tour group traveling together.
[@KID Robot Base: Entering the city! Target Asta contaminated area! [picture]]
Not only is the official Weibo account not very helpful, netizens also went to their comment section and found that they couldn’t understand what was said in the comment section.
[Oh my god!] When did you hire so many people? ! 】
[Shocked, a poor guy is spending money to hire someone! 】
[I will go to the live broadcast room later to set off some fireworks. Congratulations to KID for having a team of over 15 people! 】
[Are you finally rich?] If you have money, why don’t you post an official blog to celebrate for everyone (hint)]
[Has sink grown a little taller? Has he changed into combat boots? 】
[I specially made a comparison picture. Compared with the previous promotional photo, sink has grown 2cm taller, while yao has remained the same. 】
[[Purchase List]@Official Weibo, I didn’t go to the scene to hold up the light sign this time. Please remember to tell your mecha master for me. 】
Netizens who wanted to gather information: "..."
What the hell? How could the Dawn Galaxy's number one mecha team become like this?
The Star Domain Tournament has a specific live broadcast perspective for each team. Before the game starts, the corresponding live broadcast perspective of each team has been aimed at the mecha technicians preparing in the rest area. The maintenance technicians enter the maintenance area to prepare for the game, and the mecha technicians have to go through the pre-match process.
The official live broadcast room was packed with people. The competition began to be introduced in turn. After a group of strong teams had gone around, the live broadcast perspective fell on the Dawn Galaxy. The host of the official live broadcast room said passionately: "Next, it is the turn of the Dawn Galaxy representative team to appear. The first to appear is the Dawn's number one team, KID."
Compared with the front, the KID base delegation of less than 20 people seemed very fragmented.
The team was arranged in no order, with people of all ages and heights mixed together. The representative flag held in the front row was crooked. The red and white team uniforms were too festive, and the sign of the largest sponsor [Jianheng Technology] was shining brightly in the middle.
[Did we go to the wrong set?] 】
[…Sunset tour group?] 】
[Why are there still sponsors?] ? 】
[Why is Shuguang getting worse and worse?] How did they get 8 places? 】
Ji Feng, who was standing behind KID, couldn't bear to watch. Zhao Lejie asked, "Didn't Chairman Li emphasize the issue of the cards to them?"
"We can't help it. KID has never done anything like this before. When they were marching, they stepped on each other's feet. Didn't you see their representative flag?" Brother Zhang pinched his eyebrows. "I heard that they fell crooked when they were practicing marching in the hotel. Chairman Li gave up."
Qi Sicheng: "What material is the flag made of? How can it bend?"
Brother Zhang: “…50 star coins.”
There are no spectator seats for the Star Domain Tournament, and KID and the others are still a little uncomfortable with it.
KID's fans were also not used to it. They couldn't place orders on the spot, so they had to squeeze into the live broadcast room and watch the perspective of the live broadcast room switch to the transition zone. They found their own queue among a group of powerful teams and were queuing up to register.
Just when everyone finished registering and entered the mecha preparation area, a selection box appeared on everyone's jump interface, with four area choices under the selection box.
[Please make team transition selection? ]
At this moment, a special interface popped up in all the live broadcast rooms of the Star Domain Tournament. All the mecha teams were in the interface, and special symbols belonging to the four areas of ABCD appeared just above the arrangement.
Such a change caught everyone off guard.
Jiang Simiao was stunned for a moment, "What's going on? Isn't the transition selection randomly assigned?"
In the official commentary room, an intelligent electronic voice belonging to the official Star Domain Tournament suddenly appeared.
"Dear mecha masters, we will now proceed to the blind audition stage."
"Please choose carefully. Your choice will affect the combat options for the next 12 days."
