Chapter 297

Chapter 297

The addition of Mr. Qiu’s team has made it possible for KID to update data on the mecha weapons currently under development at a faster speed.

Ying Chenlin even designed the manuscripts of the two supernatural crystals that were identified by Shi Qingning. When he handed them to Grandpa Gu and Jiang Simiao, the expressions on their faces when they looked at him changed.

"Are you the weapon manuscript printer?" Jiang Simiao asked in shock, "It's only been a few days, and you have two manuscripts?"

Ying Chenlin was embarrassed to say that one of the manuscripts was his previous inspiration, but he had not adjusted it since he found a suitable supernatural crystal. This time, the fire-type supernatural crystal's ability to gather and disperse fire sources was just right for the change of the original inspiration. He planned to give the newly added fire-type supernatural crystal to Lin Yao for use and modify it into a melee weapon.

In addition, there is the power of the water and wood dual-attribute power crystal that Shi Qingning gave him for appraisal before he returned to Mingguang Star. The appraisal result of this power crystal shows that the power represented by the water attribute is water-based strong attack, and it is preliminarily judged to be a water-based heavy pressure power. The other wood-attribute power is more flexible, and is tempered with the poisonous property common in wood-attribute pollutants... Shi Qingning has no way of appraising the specific attack power, but Ying Chenlin has a very suitable candidate in his mind.

Ji Qingfeng is a mecha master who is very good at using sickle-type weapons. This energy crystal can be made into an attack type as well as a control type. Ji Qingfeng uses it very well as a close combat high-attack weapon. ╩

"The two in the Dawn Resource Library?" Jiang Simiao asked.

Ying Chenlin: "I plan to keep Green Field for myself, and give Extreme Storm to You Su."

"You Su is good at using high-attack wind weapons. Can he control this water weapon?" Jiang Simiao's data rarely contains information about You Su using other weapons. The samples are insufficient, and it takes a long time to create the Extreme Storm, so You Su's adaptation time will also be shortened.

Ying Chenlin looked at the information and recalled You Su's cannon-blasting posture in his mind. "He just likes to use wind-attribute weapons. His abilities are not limited to wind-attribute weapons."

Jiang Simiao looked at Ying Chenlin: "You seem to trust him very much?"

"Yes." Ying Chenlin did not deny it. "Wind-attribute cannon weapons are the least stable of all attack weapons and require the highest predictive ability. A gunner mecha master who can control wind-attribute cannon weapons cannot fail to control water-attribute high-attack weapons."

When Jiang Simiao heard Ying Chenlin say this, his hands had already quickly marked out the information and matched each person's weapons. "With these four, and the eight weapons originally under development, basically everyone will have two new weapons... Are you going to give this Luye weapon to Yuan?"

When Yuan was mentioned, Ying Chenlin's expression relaxed. "I know you want to say that driving Yuan is too much of a burden, but I want to ask you to trust me."

Since his rebirth, he has spent the most time on modifying Yuan Mecha, whether it was the initial idea of ​​transplanting the intelligence of S-class mecha to A-class mecha, or the subsequent continuous replacement of materials to transform Yuan into a medical mecha...

Given his current physical condition, it was indeed risky to bring Yuan onto the field, but it was an idea he had considered carefully. During this period, he had communicated with Dr. Eric a lot, and the other party also said that his mental strength had gradually stabilized.

He had modified Yuan mecha in his previous life, and Yuan was also in his original intention of learning mecha maintenance and design.

His idea from the beginning to the end was to take his old comrades who had been with him until now to the highest arena.

Jiang Simiao saved the information into the data board. "Okay, there's no reason not to trust you. Besides, our current results are already very good. Relax and don't be stressed."

After Ying Chenlin finished talking with Jiang Simiao, he went to Dr. Eric's medical office for a self-examination.

He has been having more frequent checkups these days, also to ensure that he has a healthy body to participate in the competition... While the base was making orderly preparations for the competition, Shi Qingning, who had been away from the KID base for a week, returned to Sirius. While sending some of the supernatural crystal materials back to the Kronos research group on Mingguang Star, he also brought some investigation materials back to KID.

Shi Qingning arrived at Sirius in the middle of the night. When he arrived at the laboratory, Mr. Qiu had not yet rested.

He handed over some of the information to Elder Qiu, "The latest progress information of Kronos. I asked for some supporting materials from other star regions, as well as all the information I had previously investigated about the Third Research Institute in the Fifth Star Region."

Mr. Qiu also wanted to investigate the experimental project from 30 years ago. He felt that the riot at the Fifth Star Domain Border Research Institute 30 years ago was closely related to Kronos. These days, as Shi Qingning raised the issue of Kronos' activity, the research team found that Kronos' energy reactions were increasing in various regions of the Star Alliance.

This also includes the flight that crashed in Yingsongshan in 2012.

Shi Xuejun, Ying Songshan... Mr. Qiu felt that these things must not be coincidences. The experiment 30 years ago must be related to Kronos.

"I've asked Lin Yi to get other information from the Star Alliance." Qiu Lao said, "The man from the Third Research Institute was executed two years ago. Now we can only check from the confessions during the interrogation... Don't worry, you can trust Lin Yi and Wei Changyang on this."

Shi Qingning asked, "You are worried that there might be other people mixed in with the research team, so you asked me to come to KID, right?"

"I'm not sure, but we can't let our guard down. There are too many people in the institute. I came to KID because I have other things to investigate privately." Mr. Qiu has been working with Shi Qingning for a while, and from the other party's frankness, he

The degree can basically determine the character of this person, "I have something that I need you to confirm--"

Before Elder Qiu finished talking to Shi Qingning, he saw Ying Chenlin walking near the laboratory on the surveillance screen. He seemed to have just arrived. This time should be Ying Chenlin's rest time. Elder Qiu saw him coming over and said, "Chenlin has been asking when you will be back these two days."

Shi Qingning was stunned. He received an add from Ying Chenlin’s communication number a few days ago, but they seldom communicated on the computer.

Elder Qiu patted Shi Qingning on the shoulder and said, "Shen Xingtang said she has already told the child. I won't waste your time. You guys can chat. I'll tell you the rest tomorrow."

Mr. Qiu greeted Ying Chenlin who had just arrived at the laboratory. The two seemed to talk for a short while, and then Mr. Qiu followed other researchers to another laboratory on crutches.

In the huge laboratory, only Shi Qingning and Ying Chenlin were left.

When Shi Qingning saw Ying Chenlin, the time he had spent with this child some time ago came to his mind. He had a special feeling for this child, Ying Chenlin. He admitted that he was indeed a little impulsive some time ago. The impulse was to find this child and learn more details about Shi Xuejun from him. However, this idea was promptly dissuaded by Mr. Qiu, and he realized that he was reckless.

After spending some time together, Shi Qingning calmed down. He had been looking for Shi Xuejun for so many years. He was the adopted son of the Shi family, but he had long regarded the Shi family as his closest relatives. Otherwise, he would not have insisted on looking for Shi Xuejun for so many years, nor would he have disregarded his own future to expose the criminal facts of the Third Research Institute.

It can be said that Ying Chenlin has not experienced anything of the previous generation. His feelings towards his relatives are the same as his own. His family left when he was young, and he grew up alone until now. He only learned about his parents' affairs in recent years.

He was so eager to find Shi Xuejun that he shouldn't have been impulsive or asked Ying Chenlin regardless of his own wishes.

Too selfish and too demanding.

"Why are you here so late?" Shi Qingning put the data pad on the table, "Shouldn't it be time to rest?"

"I heard you were back, so I came to see you." Ying Chenlin looked at Shi Qingning, "I didn't thank you in person for the energy crystal."

Shi Qingning said: "Don't be polite to me, you can come to me if you need anything."

While Ying Chenlin was still thinking about the next topic, Shi Qingning handed him another piece of information, which was detailed information about the supernatural crystal green field and the extreme storm, which was more detailed than the information provided by the Dawn Research Institute.

"I know the director of the First Research Institute in the Fifth Star Region. He has an Extreme Storm, which contains the information I sorted out." Shi Qingning opened the information and showed it to Ying Chenlin. "And Luye, I asked Elder Gu for the information on this energy crystal, which supplemented the information details in the Dawn Research Institute. This should be helpful for you to make weapons."

Ying Chenlin took his information and was about to speak.

Shi Qingning then said, "Don't be polite to me. It's just a piece of cake."

Ying Chenlin looked at Shi Qingning. He read the information that Shen Xingtang gave him over and over again. "I've read the information Sister Tang gave me."

"Thank you." Ying Chenlin paused, "I may not be able to adapt to it. It may be difficult for me to change my name all at once..."

"Let it be." Shi Qingning said softly, "Get along with each other in the way you are used to. There is no need to deliberately change anything."

Ying Chenlin was not surprised to get such a reply. He was not someone who could adapt to a relationship very quickly, and he was no longer at the age where he was overly longing for family affection. Shi Xuejun and Ying Lingfeng also pieced together the lives of their parents from the memories of multiple people. Rather than longing for family affection, he wanted to know more about what kind of people his parents were. When Shen Xingtang told him about Shi Qingning's identity, he was surprised, but he hadn't figured out how to accept this sudden relationship.

He and Shi Qingning were strangers not long ago, but Shi Qingning did not force him or tell him directly. Instead, the two of them treated each other as an ordinary relationship.

I have to say that this way of getting along with others makes him feel less burdened.

"You don't have to be so polite to me. Go and rest first. Don't you have to train tomorrow?"

Shi Qingning said: "I have been following Mr. Qiu's team for some time and will not leave in the short term."

"I want to show you something." Ying Chenlin walked a few steps to the programming table in the laboratory, inserted the program, and opened a program in front of Shi Qingning.

As soon as the program was opened, Shi Qingning looked at the special panel that appeared in front of the program table. His eyes became sharp and stayed on the panel information that flashed by in the program table. He frowned deeply, "Where did you get this thing?"

Shi Qingning held his breath slightly, and looked at Ying Chenlin: "You shouldn't show these things to other people casually. Is this what your mother left for you?"

"Mr. Qiu can't decipher this program. Forcibly disassembling this program will cause the entire program to self-destruct." Ying Chenlin knew that this program had been in the hands of the border troops for many years. If someone really recognized this thing, it shouldn't have remained undeciphered for so many years. There is most likely only one reason.

This procedure is rarely seen, and his mother Shi Xuejun would not easily hand these things over to others.

This is also the reason why he decided to show this program to Shi Qingning after careful consideration. If Shi Qingning didn't recognize it, he would just treat it as an ordinary encryption program and would not question him where this program came from.

"Of course it can't be solved. The designer of the program is your mother, and others may not know her. Forcible cracking will only damage the program and the data will be automatically destroyed."

Shi Qingning recognized this program, or he did not expect that this program would appear at this time. This was an encryption system developed by Shi Xuejun himself in his youth. It had a special ciphertext, and there was no way to decipher this program without the ciphertext... What surprised Shi Qingning even more was that Shi Xuejun actually left this thing behind, and left it to Ying Chenlin.

Shi Qingning asked, "Have you told Mr. Qiu?"

Ying Chenlin nodded. He decided to tell Shi Qingning only after discussing it with Mr. Qiu.

If it was Shi Xuejun's program, Shi Qingning would be one of the people most likely to know about it.

Ying Chenlin: "Can you crack it?"

"I don't remember the secret code very clearly." Shi Qingning said, "You can try."

It takes time to crack the program. Shi Qingning told Ying Chenlin some things related to the encryption program.

The two chatted for a while. Shi Qingning still needed to recall and summarize Shi Xuejun's secret code, so he asked Ying Chenlin to go and rest first.

"I've been in the base all this time." Shi Qingning said, "You don't have to worry too much. It will take time to decipher the ciphertext. Go and rest first."

Ying Chenlin knew that he couldn't help, so he quickly went back to his room to rest.

As soon as he left, Shi Qingning immediately asked someone to find Mr. Qiu.

The information left by Shi Xuejun is very likely related to Kronos, or to the accident 30 years ago.

He had to decipher this information as soon as possible and hand it over to Ying Chenlin and Mr. Qiu.

After handing the encryption program to Shi Qingning, Ying Chenlin could see Shi Qingning and Mr. Qiu studying the program every time he went to the laboratory. Both of them felt a great sense of urgency about this matter. With the help of Master Qingning's information, the matter of the supernatural crystal basically had no other problems, and the research of Lu Ye and Ji Bao Bao went more smoothly.

Ying Chenlin also had a lot of things to do, so he didn't disturb Shi Qingning as there was too much training. He also habitually ran to the maintenance room, leaving early and returning late every day. The other teammates also basically stayed in the training room.

As he got busy, he had less time to meet You Su privately.

Although the two lived across from each other and did not meet at the same time, they met more often in the training room.

Ying Chenlin's schedule was different from others, but every time he arrived at the training room, there was always a bag of something next to his seat, sometimes it was nutritional supplements, and sometimes it was takeout ordered by others.

"You Su helped order it." Jiang

Ying Chenlin took out the honey-flavored nutrient and put it into the maintenance bag he carried with him, "Yeah."

Jiang Simiao watched Ying Chenlin take out the extra barbecue-flavored nutrient from the nutrient and place it next to You Su's virtual warehouse, and quickly rushed to the maintenance room. Why did he feel that the relationship between these two people was too good? Ji Qingfeng might not even leave food for Lin Yao, but You Su would remind him to get food at a certain time every day, and occasionally ask him to help deliver it to the maintenance room.

Thanks to this, Jiang Simiao finally remembered the strange tastes of the mecha technicians in the base when he made a large purchase of nutritional supplements this time. The nutritional supplements he bought were praised by everyone for the first time, which made him unable to help but show off for a few days.

Shen Xingtang: "It's rare."

Jiang Simiao couldn't help but take credit for himself: "This is the brand with the best nutritional ratio that I found after careful matching. It's also the flavor you like. Do you know how long I've been looking for it?"

At the end of 1247, the notice about the Star Alliance Tournament finally came down.

The venue for this Star Alliance Tournament is the Silver Moon Galaxy in the Fifth Star Region, where last season's champion EM is located. The contaminated area chosen is the Nason Bello contaminated area in the Fifth Star Region, which has been listed as a key target of concern.

When Ying Chenlin and others arrived at the conference room, Jiang Simiao had already collected all the information about Nathan Bello and placed it on the public screen in the conference room. This Nathan Bello contaminated area is located on the edge of the Silver Moon Galaxy. It is not a border area, but it is the contaminated area with the most complex terrain in the entire Silver Moon Galaxy.

"Sanshui, every time you talk about the contaminated area, you say the terrain is the most complicated." Lin Yao leaned back on the chair and looked at the dense text on the virtual screen: "My head hurts."

"Nonsense, I never said it was complicated when I was in Agaman." Jiang Simiao patted the virtual screen: "I really didn't fool you this time. I discussed this with the people from Gale and Black Crow a while ago. This Star Alliance Tournament is probably the biggest challenge for us in history. We are noobs in Dawn, but many years ago, we also had a base that entered the Star Alliance Tournament."

Before the introduction of the medical mecha system, the threshold for the Star Alliance Tournament had not been reduced to 10 teams per star region, and under the relaxed competition system, the top fifteen teams had the possibility of participating. Black Crow and Swift Wind also encountered a relaxed competition system a few years ago. They were lucky enough to enter the Star Alliance Championship once, but they were eliminated at the beginning and were beaten badly by the team from the second star field. After they came back, their performance declined. Dawn has been increasingly at the tail end of the list in recent years.

All in all, the entire First Star Domain performed very poorly in the Star Alliance Tournament. The Aegis, which put KID in a tough battle in the Star Domain Tournament, only ranked 11th in the Star Alliance Tournament last season, and couldn't even make it into the top ten.

"SHIELD's performance is not bad. Before in Slarede, I think EM was still very afraid of Team U's strength." Huo Yan heard Jiang Simiao say this, "SHIELD's strength should also be able to get good results in the Star Alliance Tournament."

When Jiang Simiao heard what everyone said, he knew that the considerations of the kids in their base were still too naive. He quickly listed the top ten teams in the Star Alliance Tournament. The first place was EM where Alex from the fifth star field was located, the second was PJT where Norbert from the second star field was located, the third was WHG from the third star field, the fourth was SLY where Alice from the fourth star field was located, and the fifth was GBK where Bai Xuyan from the second star field was located.

Except for their first star field, there are people from the other four star fields in the top five.

The teams ranked 6-10 below are also from other star regions.

Ji Qingfeng: "I've played against WHG, and they don't seem to be very strong."

"You think too much. During the Star Alliance mission, these strong teams were present, but we didn't encounter many of their chief mecha masters. In fact, you have only fought against their chief mecha masters a limited number of times, and you have no idea of ​​their strength."

Jiang Simiao showed the information: "Look at Alice from SLY. She can stop Lin Yao and Chi Liz by herself. You have also fought against GBK's captain Claude and Bai Xuyan, right? Claude was able to break through Huo Yan and Captain Ke's blockade. When Bai Xuyan was in Kolia, he confronted several mechas of Jifeng head-on. Apart from this part of the mecha masters, you didn't fight against other chief mecha masters during the Star Alliance mission."

Ying Chenlin remembered the twins he had beaten, it seemed

It's just the mecha master of EM Team 2. "Is there anything special about the Star Alliance competition system?"

"SHIELD's strength is not weak, what is weak is the performance of our entire First Star Region." Jiang Simiao said: "I didn't know those twists and turns before. Didn't we win first place this time? When the Star Alliance Competition documents came down, SHIELD's head coach and Chairman Li contacted us immediately."

Jiang Simiao said: "The Star Alliance Tournament requires a layout of the teams."

Ying Chenlin was stunned: "Aren't we fighting each other?"

"The final ranking is definitely determined by each team's performance, but every year, depending on the different arrangements of the competition system, we are likely to be eliminated by other teams before the mecha team enters the final battle."

This is what Jiang Simiao wanted to say to these people. When he obtained the latest document, his first thought was to adjust his own tactics according to the type of contaminated area. However, when the experienced SHIELD saw this extremely complex contaminated area, their head coach immediately realized the difference in the competition system.

The Nasombelo contaminated area is special in that it covers most of the terrain.

Volcanoes, snowfields, seas, hills, plains, deserts and other terrains are evenly distributed in this polluted area. This high-risk polluted area is a racing-level polluted area directly controlled by the fifth star field. It is fully equipped with internal base stations and multiple ground-based equipment, and it is very likely to be divided into regional points. The choice of such a contaminated zone means that this year's Star Alliance Tournament will not adopt a simple and crude competition system, and it is very likely that multiple competition systems will be superimposed.

Field distributions such as multiple jumps and regional isolation are possible in the Nason Bello contaminated area.

The more complicated the situation is, the more likely it is that there will be divisions, and the greater the possibility of divisional fighting, which means that the possibility of infighting among the 10 teams in the First Star Region will greatly increase.

The virtual screen showed the battle data of the previous First Star Regions that entered the later stages of the Star Alliance Tournament. The number of teams was only half of that of other teams, or even less.

The duration of this Star Alliance Tournament is 15 days, which is only half a month. There are 50 teams from five star regions participating, which means that the elimination mechanism may be more cruel.

"Last season, the only two teams in the First Star Region that made it to the later stages of the Star Alliance Tournament were SHIELD and Jiazi." Jiang Simiao said, "This also means that whenever there is a melee or direct battle in the First Star Region, it will become the main target of other star regions."

When facing the same opponent, for the honor of their own star domain, other teams' attack priority will be to choose a weaker star domain team that does not conflict with their own.

For example, if three teams are fighting in a melee, with one team from the first star field and two teams from the second star field, then unless there are special reasons, the most direct choice is for the second star field to "cooperate" and eliminate the first star field.

Lin Yao asked: "Will the Star Alliance allow it? This is cooperation, right? Can we cooperate as well?"

"What kind of cooperation is this? Unless there is a grudge, if you and Jifeng go to play in the Star Domain Tournament and meet Jifeng and Jiazi, will you two fight among yourselves first and let Jiazi get the points?" Jiang Simiao said, "This is an intuitive choice. When playing for your own star domain, no team will prioritize fighting their own people. They would rather turn the later Star Alliance Tournament into a melee in their own star domain."

This is why SHIELD is very strong but it is difficult to make it into the top ten.

The weak teams in the First Star Domain are the targets for points scored by other star domains.

The strong teams in the First Star Domain are also the targets of other star domains.

There are too few teams in the first star field entering the later stage. The strength of the entire star field is not strong enough, so it will be difficult to stand out and it is easy to become a direct target of attack by other teams.

The SHIELD head coach took the initiative to contact KID because of this. The team battle Star Alliance competition will attract more attention in the Mecha Alliance than individual soldiers. This is a test of group combat capabilities, and it is also the most direct and clear way to judge the comprehensive strength of the five star fields. The organizers of the Star Alliance Tournament give priority to examining the comprehensive strength of the five major star regions, and then decide the strongest one based on this comprehensive strength.

"We searched through all the Star Alliance Tournament competition data and found that the first half of the Star Alliance Tournament always focuses on examining the overall strength of the entire star region. They don't like the strongest as much as individual soldiers, they prefer groups. The largest scope of this group may be the five star regions themselves, so that the best can be selected."

Shen Xingtang opened the data of a certain stage and told others earnestly: "SHIELD told us that the organizers of the Star Alliance Tournament team battle like to test the overall performance of the entire star field. Especially this year, it is a multi-terrain competition with 10 places for each star field. It is very likely that the initial stage will be a team battle between star fields. This will cause certain disadvantages for us, so SHIELD and the leaders of the First Star Field came to us."

This year, three teams from Dawn entered the top ten of the First Star Domain, breaking the record in the history of the First Star Domain. In a sense, this is also the top ten with the strongest comprehensive strength in the First Star Domain in the past ten years, and it is also the best lineup in all previous years. The leaders of the First Star Region naturally wanted to break the situation of repeated defeats in the Star Alliance Tournament. They also wanted the First Star Region to have a better living environment in the Star Alliance Tournament and lay a better foundation for future competition for Star Alliance resources. They did not want to let this good lineup go to waste.

The idea of ​​all the strong teams in the First Star Domain is to let the First Star Domain break the early deadlock, and at the same time disperse more teams to avoid internal strife in the early stage, so as to increase the possibility of 10 teams entering the late stage, so as to prevent the First Star Domain from destroying the good battlefield environment in the early stage of mutual attrition, and falling into the fate of being besieged by other star domains in the later stage.

Lin Yao frowned as he listened, "Ah?"

"To put it simply, our First Star Region was too weak before, so we got beaten in the first stage, and in the second stage, we were besieged without anyone to support us, which caused our performance to get worse and worse." Ji Qingfeng said: "This means that in this year's competition, our First Star Region is likely to be at a disadvantage from the start?"

"Not possible. This contaminated area, this number of people, a 15-day race, and we are required to take more than 4 weapons."

Jiang Simiao said seriously: "The possibility of us getting beaten at the beginning is as high as 75%! And the most important point is that because we are the first in the first star field, if the first stage of the game is to start with the star field as a team, then we will be the ones who decide the right to speak."

Luxi: “Are we so miserable…?”

"It won't be too bad." Jiang Simiao looked at the schedule, "Next Monday, we will go to the Silver Moon Galaxy 8 days before the game."

Ji Qingfeng: "Sanshui... that's the Silver Moon Galaxy, the rich and powerful galaxy in the fifth star field! The hotel is so expensive! The accommodation fee for 8 days will be five times higher!"

"Go there early?" Huo Yan flipped through the pages and said, "There will be a lot of spectators at the Star Alliance Tournament. Can we get a hotel to stay in? It seems that the organizers don't cover the hotel for us."

"Don't worry about that. The SHIELD coach invited us over."

Jiang Simiao curled his lips and smiled, looking confident of winning: "Free hotel and training ground, we should take advantage of them."

The author has something to say:

I overestimated today's typing efficiency QAQ. This chapter has more than 7,000 words. I originally wanted to write a three-in-one QAQ.

There is still one chapter left to go, and it’s not finished yet.

If there is no update by 2 a.m., please come back tomorrow at noon~

I don't want to mess up my adjusted schedule, so I'll update tomorrow at noon at the latest (Wow, I'll continue to grind)
