Chapter 38

Chapter 38

The blockade of the contaminated area of ​​Tianyu Star is indeed a big deal. The blocked routes near Tianyu Star have finally been unblocked, and the authorities have also issued a statement on the accident. The mutations in the area were caused by S-level pollutants, sand lizards and welwitschias, and now the problem has been solved.

[Two S-level pollutants appeared at once... Oh my god, no wonder there is an emergency lockdown. 】

So is the matter resolved? What is the current situation in the contaminated area? 】

After netizens had been waiting on the official website for three days, the authorities finally reopened real-time video information from inside the contaminated area. There was not a single trace of pollutants in the pollutant-rich sandy ruins. All that was left was devastating scorched earth and endless desolation.

【? ? ? What kind of epic pollutant has turned Tianyu Star into such a mess! ? 】

[This is the beautiful and wasteland-like polluted area of ​​Tianyu Star! ? 】

[So did the border troops finally take action?] I suspect this scorched earth was created by missiles. 】

However, the announcement of the Tianyu Star Administration did not mention the border army's intervention in the situation in the contaminated area. The official wording was very tactful, thanking the mecha base and 28 mecha divisions for their assistance. It is obvious that the current situation of the contaminated area in Tianyu Star was caused only by the mecha divisions that entered the contaminated area at that time.

[The official statement is that this scorched earth was burned by the mecha masters...? 】

【? ? ? Are you kidding me? What kind of energy cannon can burn to this extent? Didn’t they say there weren’t many guns and mechas included? 】

[If it was burned by a mecha master, what kind of weapon is this with such great destructive power? Illegal modification of mechas will be punished by the Alliance! 】

Not only that, the situation on Tianyu Star has really attracted the attention of many parties. Some mecha bases even used post-war battlefield analysis. After all, Jifeng and YDS are among the most powerful bases in the Dawn Galaxy Mecha Alliance. Their combat readiness information is the main intelligence for the next season's league.

However, due to the special situation in the contaminated area this time, the management bureau remained silent on the matter, and the participating bases made no other statements except reporting the safety of the mecha division, leaving those who wanted to dig out information in vain.

Finally, various rumors circulated. It was said that the border troops did not enter the contaminated area, and some said that the supernatural crystals released this time were rare offensive supernatural crystals. With different statements, the Mecha Alliance was secretly in turmoil, and netizens on the Internet did not stop.

The information about the contaminated area was not leaked, but the appearance of two S-level pollutants confirmed that the information was correct.

[This time there are only three base rescue teams, and some scattered mecha divisions. No one knows which base has the two trophies. 】

[The team battle season is about to start!] ? I wonder if Jifeng and YDS will release new core weapons. Are all these bases now in a state of combat readiness? 】

[Why are you so worried about whether Ji Feng and YDS will fall into KID's hands? 】

【KID? Is it possible? 】

【KID Forget it, I think they may not be able to afford it. 】

Can I ask another question? KID's spare parts online store is not open yet, I have been waiting for a long time! 】

A portion of the online news was intercepted, and the news that the Gale Base and the YDS Base had begun investigating KID had spread to a small extent. Some bases had sensed something was wrong. On the one hand, they did not understand why these two powerful bases would pay attention to a team that was at the bottom of the list and might even fall into the top 32. On the other hand, they were very concerned about who would get the two energy crystals...

Mingguang Star in the Dawn Galaxy, the location of the mecha base [Black Crow].

Black Crow is the second-ranked base of the Dawn Mecha Alliance and has been in the runner-up position for a long time. When the news about Tianyu Star first broke out, the owner of the Black Crow base had been paying attention to it all until he heard that two supernatural crystals had appeared.

"Not in the hands of Jifeng or YDS?" Black Crow's boss hesitated.

"This is the information we have received so far, but it has definitely not fallen into the hands of the Tianyu Star Administration." The person in charge of the report had heard too much information. No one knew what had happened to the Tianyu Star Administration this time. It was said that the administration had suffered heavy losses this time, and the pollutants had been greatly reduced. The battle must have been very fierce at the time.

Furthermore, because this was the biggest accident in the Dawn Galaxy in recent years, the Star Alliance deliberately suppressed the news, making it even more difficult to find out.

He continued, "It shouldn't fall into the hands of other mecha masters. Among the mecha masters that went this time, the only one in the top 64 is KID, except for Jifeng and YDS."

The Black Crow boss hesitated: "KID? Are you talking about Shen Xingtang's base?"

Speaking of KID, things are a bit complicated.

After the original KID managers disbanded KID, the biggest manager took the mecha divisions and left for other star fields, and some mecha divisions were bought by other bases. Shen Xingtang was only supporting a defeated base, which couldn't even afford a gunner and mecha division. Then how did she snatch two S-level energy crystals from Ji Feng and YDS?

The person who reported it said, "I heard there is another S-level dual-attribute energy crystal. There is no way Ji Feng and YDS would give it up, right?"

This situation is so weird...

The Black Crow boss asked: "What's going on with KID?"

The person reporting this was a little embarrassed: "Nothing... they have no news at all. But I did hear some news recently. It seems that Jianheng Company has taken a fancy to KID's building and seems to want to negotiate a lease contract with Shen Xingtang. They have been sending people to stake out outside the KID base for some time."

While the pollution area on Tianyu Star was being widely discussed online, KID and his team had already returned to the base.

As soon as they arrived at the base, Jiang Simiao rushed the mecha operators to the training room to review the contaminated area, but Ying Chenlin was called to the maintenance room by Shen Xingtang.

The maintenance room still maintained the same condition as before they set out, except that several "badly damaged" mechas were placed in the previously empty maintenance area. Shen Xingtang stood next to the mechas, directing the inspection robots to scan the damaged surfaces with a cold face.

Seeing Ying Chenlin coming over, she put down her work and asked, "Are you here?"

"Yeah." Ying Chenlin put down the maintenance kit and stood aside honestly. After this mission, Shen Xingtang had not asked him anything else, and even did not say a few more words when blaming him, which made Ying Chenlin a little confused.

He was more accustomed to Shen Xingtang's straightforward speaking style, where he would directly answer questions. This work is by

When Shen Xingtang saw his expression, she suddenly smiled: "Why do you look like that? Do you know what I want to ask you?"

Ying Chenlin nodded: "I roughly guessed it."

Shen Xingtang asked: "Can you tell me about it? Lin Yao and the others said that you have a mecha master certificate, why didn't you tell me about this before?"

Ying Chenlin opened the optical computer and retrieved the mecha pilot certificates one by one.

Shen Xingtang saw that the child in front of her had taken out all the mecha technician certificates from 'junior to senior'. The speed at which he put the certificates was like the good children in the neighborhood bringing certificates to their parents, without missing a single one. Seeing that he wanted to continue flipping through the pages, she hurriedly stopped him: "No, why are you showing this to me!?"

Shen Xingtang was very worried about Ying Chenlin. In her eyes, no matter how good a maintenance technician was at driving a mecha, he would only be at the level of an intermediate mecha master. So it was really dangerous to enter a contaminated area without anyone to protect him. But it wasn't until she saw the boy driving a mecha in the control room of the administration, dodging the attacks of poisonous spiders with ease, that he was not inferior to other mecha masters present at the time.

But these are unfamiliar. How long can a person's life be and how many skills can he master?

Shen Xingtang believed that there were geniuses in the field, but he did not believe that there were people who were proficient in both maintenance technician knowledge and professional mecha skills. She didn't want to ask too much. Everyone in KID had their own secrets. As long as it didn't harm the collective interests, she could pretend not to see anything. However, Ying Chenlin's mystery was beyond her understanding.

How old is the child? 18 years old?

Seeing this, Ying Chenlin stopped digging and said, "There is also a professional mecha technician certification."

Shen Xingtang really couldn't bear to bully such an honest child. "No, I know you have professional skills. I can tell. And I'm not looking for you for this."

Ying Chenlin wanted to say something, but Shen Xingtang continued, "You are good at mechas. You have been in service for several years. Why did you want to come to my side?"

How many years? Ying Chenlin actually didn’t remember it very clearly. For him, these memories were already from his previous life.

And this life has just begun... If you count it as a career, it hasn't been that long. "It's only been a few years. I've already retired."

Shen Xingtang was slightly stunned: "Why suddenly..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Ying Chenlin's arm, seemed to understand something, and stopped talking.

Ying Chenlin is not very old, and he was still a minor when he started his professional career in the Mecha Alliance. The Alliance has provided adequate protection for minors in this regard, so before returning from Tianyu Star, Shen Xingtang asked Jiang Simiao to check the active and retired mecha technicians in the Alliance, but failed to find Ying Chenlin.

If he was a minor and retired, I'm afraid the alliance will never release this information, including the reason why Ying Chenlin has a prosthetic right hand.

"The right hand was damaged by a genetic disease." Ying Chenlin suddenly said, "It was found out through routine examinations. I didn't want the condition to get worse, so I had it amputated on the doctor's advice."

Shen Xingtang's gaze stopped on Ying Chenlin's hand.

Genetic disease is one of the most difficult diseases to cure in the Star Alliance. She asked, "Why don't you use medicine to control it?"

"I want to cure it completely." Ying Chenlin said seriously, "I don't want to have any uncertainties in my life."

Just like in the previous life, I got into trouble due to illness and ended up ruining half of my life.

Shen Xingtang lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing

What was it like? She wanted to say but didn't know what she wanted to say, "You dare to venture into the contaminated area in your condition? If the disconnection time is longer, and something happens to you in there, there will be no doctor with you."

Ying Chenlin blocked her next sentence: "Don't worry, I brought medicine."

Shen Xingtang was speechless. For a moment, she didn't know whether Ying Chenlin was being obedient or not.

Ying Chenlin didn't want to continue this topic. Seeing that Shen Xingtang didn't say anything, he asked, "You just said you didn't come to me because of this matter, then what was it because?"

Shen Xingtang was thinking about hiring a full-time doctor for the base. When she heard Ying Chenlin's words, she remembered something else: "The weapon design draft, is that your handwriting?" She looked at the programming desk next to her, where her frequently used folders were placed.

The folder was opened, revealing several weapons manuscripts.

The first few versions were the drafts that Shen Xingtang had previously studied with the mecha weapon designer, while the following ones were interspersed with other people's messy notes.

Ying Chenlin did not deny: "It's my handwriting."

When Shen Xingtang heard him admit it, he didn't know what to say: "Shen Lin, what else do you have that I don't know?"

Ying Chenlin didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to explain to Shen Xingtang.

Before he could think of a word, Shen Xingtang had already added: "I won't delve into your secrets. Then, can you explain to me the meaning of this draft?"

"I just think that the plan is a bit sloppy. The design based on that draft is indeed completely different from the originally leaked mecha data." Ying Chenlin knew that Shen Xingtang wanted to redesign the weapon to avoid the hidden dangers caused by the leak. "It's just that I think the parameters of the design based on that weapon are not suitable, and it's a bit of a waste of energy crystals."

If they really wanted to design weapons, the energy crystals previously obtained by the KID Club, including the two S-level energy crystals this time, would definitely be used, but they might not be able to exert the effects that the energy crystals should have.

Shen Xingtang asked what was on his mind: "Do you know about weapon design?"

Ying Chenlin gave her a definite answer. He took the original draft and continued to draw on his handwriting: "Ji Qingfeng is a stealth mecha, but he has a different habit from other stealth mecha masters. There is not much time before the next league starts for us to prepare a large number of new weapons. Instead of changing the performance of the weapons, it is better to increase the hit rate of the weapons and start from the style of the weapons."

Ji Qingfeng has two weapons, one is a restraint chain used to control the enemy, and the other is a battle blade used for close combat.

Shen Xingtang's eyes followed Ying Chenlin's brushstrokes. He saw that the war blade changed from a straight blade to a curved blade under his redrawing. The degree of the curve was also very strange, very much like an ancient weapon called a short sickle. "Do you want to change it to a short sickle?"

With the development of stealth mechas, short weapons are the most suitable for them to use in close combat. Ji Qingfeng uses blade weapons, and sickle weapons are also used in the league.

"No." Ying Chenlin drew a few more strokes on the end of the short sickle, and soon a chain shape appeared on the end, which looked very much like the restraint lock that Ji Qingfeng often used. "I didn't want to change his short blade, but just wanted to change his restraint lock. Lock weapons can be multi-functional. This one is called a flying sickle, which has the characteristics of a lock and is also sharp enough for attacking."

This was based on Ying Chenlin's observations in the polluted area of ​​Tianyu Star. Ji Qingfeng's lock weapons were used very accurately, and he could hit the target accurately even in a strong wind environment. If the short blade was changed to a short sickle, he might need some time to adapt... But now Ji Qingfeng's restraint lock was about to break, so he could take this opportunity to increase the hit rate and offensiveness of his restraint lock.

Ying Chenlin explained: "It just so happens that we have taken a few A-level mutant poisonous spider energy crystals from the contaminated area this time, which can be used to replace the core energy crystal of the binding lock."

Shen Xingtang suddenly realized, "You want to change the basic weapon style, but you don't want to change their operating habits?"

"Well, aren't you worried about the two special energy crystals from before? Devouring and regenerating." Ying Chenlin crossed the page and drew a shield weapon on the blank paper. "The best use of the Devouring Energy Crystal is indeed a defensive weapon. You can give this energy crystal to Huo Yan."

Shen Xingtang had already planned how to use the Devouring Energy Crystal. "I know how to use it, but you mentioned the Regeneration Energy Crystal. I don't think it's appropriate to use it on a weapon."

As the name suggests, the regeneration crystal has the ability of regeneration. This kind of crystal seems to be a little lacking no matter where it is used. It seems to lack offensiveness when used on offensive weapons, and it is not as good as swallowing when used on defensive weapons.

"That won't happen. Have you heard of sustainable offensive weapons?" Ying Chenlin re-drew a long sword next to the shield. As soon as the pattern came out, Shen Xingtang recognized that it was Lin Yao's commonly used weapon.

"Lin Yao's fighting style is aggressive and adventurous. In fact, he is very capable in single combat. Attack-enhancing supernatural crystals may bring him significant effects in a short period of time, but this ignores his other ability." Ying Chenlin explained: "His reaction ability and close combat ability are not inferior to Ji Qingfeng. On the contrary, he is bolder and more daring than Ji Qingfeng. It is better to start from his habits and use the regeneration supernatural crystals to create a sustainable combat weapon."

Shen Xingtang asked, "You mean to use the regeneration energy crystal to achieve rapid charging?"

"Yes, and in order to achieve fast charging... the charging time of artillery weapons is too slow. If it is an S-level regeneration energy crystal, it is fine, but the charging effect of A-level regeneration cannot gain an advantage in a short period of time. Only this kind of melee weapon can use A-level mutation energy crystals to achieve a similar strengthening effect."

Ying Chenlin briefly explained the principle, without slowing down his drawing speed, "As for us obtaining the S-level supernatural crystal..."

Seeing that he wanted to continue, Shen Xingtang was shocked and asked, "You have also thought of the application direction of S-level supernatural crystals?"

"Yeah." Ying Chenlin nodded.

In fact, these were all weapons he had designed. In his previous life as KID, designing corresponding weapons for different mecha pilots was what he did most often. As long as he understood the mecha pilot's personality and operating habits, it was actually quite simple to modify the weapons to suit his needs.

Shen Xingtang was in turmoil, she understood other people because she had spent enough time with them, but Ying Chenlin could easily judge the operating habits of the mecha pilots based on his experience of working together in the contaminated area of ​​Tianyu Star.

"You were a solo mecha commander before you retired, right?" Shen Xingtang asked.

Ying Chenlin nodded.

"Sure enough." Shen Xingtang said: "I suddenly thought, fortunately you are a teammate, not an enemy."

This ability is an excellent talent in weapon design, but in the field of mecha masters, if you encounter this kind of penetrating ability on the field, you will definitely be a formidable opponent. In a group battle mecha division, you need to analyze many opponents, and it is more important to see the team's coordination and defeat them one by one. Only in the field of individual soldiers will you be careful of everyone everywhere.

Having said that, Shen Xingtang probably understood the child's strengths. "To be honest, I can't quite see through you. I always feel like you have a lot of secrets, but you're very honest and you don't hide anything from us."

She believed that if she continued to ask, Ying Chenlin would definitely reveal all his family secrets. "I'm confident that you'll be in charge of the weapons. I've asked Jiang Simiao to collect the list of materials you gave me last time. I'll be able to give it to you in a few days."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry." Ying Chenlin said.

Shen Xingtang smiled and said, "I'm anxious. I can't have you helping me all the time while I can't help at all."

Just when he was halfway through his words, there was a knock on the maintenance room door. Jiang Simiao came to find Shen Xingtang and said that there was a guest outside.

Shen Xingtang didn't stay in the maintenance room for too long. Before leaving, he reminded Ying Chenlin to pay more attention to rest, and soon followed Jiang Simiao out.

As soon as the door of the maintenance room was closed, Jiang Simiao asked, "You two talked for a long time. The customer waited there for about five minutes."

"Yeah." Shen Xingtang walked quickly.

Jiang Simiao asked: "So Xiao Ying is really a professional mecha master?"

"How could it be fake? You've seen more data than me. Do you think he can still run away with his level?" Shen Xingtang: "You couldn't find him before because he retired as a minor. The Mecha Alliance has always protected this data very well, so it's normal that you couldn't find him."

Jiang Simiao thought to himself, "So that's how it is." Just as he was about to say a few more words, Shen Xingtang had already entered the meeting room.

An underage retired mecha master...? There are actually quite a few underage mecha masters in the Star Alliance, but only a handful of them have made a name for themselves. Speaking of underage retirement, he was reminded of the genius who caused a sensation last season - sink.

"Hey? Sanshui, why are you here?" Ji Qingfeng just happened to walk over.

Jiang Simiao came back to his senses: "A guest has arrived."

Ji Qingfeng asked: "What guests?"

Jiang Simiao took out a business card, "Boss Zhou from Jianheng Company."

Jianheng Technology, even Jiang Simiao had heard of this company's name. It was a well-known large company in the Dawn Galaxy. This company started out by making mechas, and now its business has expanded to multiple markets such as spare parts. It can be said that it is growing bigger and bigger. Jiang Simiao originally thought that the person who came was just the manager of Jianheng, until the other party handed over his business card, he realized that it was the CEO of Jianheng who came in person.

"Jianheng?!" Ji Qingfeng was stunned: "Why did this company send people to our place?!"

At this point, Jiang Simiao pinched his brows with a headache, "I heard that he has been in Sirius for several days, and it seems that he plans to rent our building."

Rent a building! ?

Ji Qingfeng's eyes lit up: "Wouldn't that mean I could earn some rent?"

River

Ji Qingfeng: "How much space is he renting? Is he renting the whole building? How much does Sister Tang offer?"

Jiang Simiao: "...How would I know if you ask me?"

In the maintenance room, Ying Chenlin had no idea what was happening outside.

He imported the weapon draft into the programming system and continued to perfect the weapon's design.

The robots in the maintenance room have summarized the damage to the Tianyu Star mechas. I don't know if it's because of good luck or other reasons, but most of the mechas were not seriously damaged and it will take a few days to repair them all... and the most seriously damaged were the mechas of Ji Qingfeng, Huo Yan and You Su. Huo Yan's shield was almost destroyed after suffering the energy explosion, Ji Qingfeng's restraint chain had obvious damage, and You Su's two weapons had internal wear and tear due to energy overdraft.

It seems that the repair and manufacture of weapons must catch up with the schedule.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked down at the red rope around his neck.

The abyss appeared briefly for a while, and he once again input his mental power to forcibly awaken it but to no avail. He guessed that it might have a lot to do with his own mental power. After the accident in his previous life, Yuan was never able to restart... but he was sure that he heard Yuan's voice at that time.

He took out the damaged memory device next to the necklace and his eyes rested on the cracks on the surface of the memory device.

The author has something to say:

Xiaoying is about to take out his professional certificate and retirement certificate.

Sister Shen couldn't bear to stop him: No need to look, I can guess it.

Xiaoying: Oh.

Transition chapter.

ps: Future KID’s die-hard fan and sponsor Boss Zhou has gone online with his money.

Boss Zhou: To establish a friendly relationship with KID, start by renting a building.
