Chapter 159 Uneasiness

Yan Hao was walking on the elevator and checking the internal circuits of a half-finished mecha. Suddenly, the optical computer terminal in his left hand flashed, prompting that someone had sent him a message. Yan Hao didn't pay much attention and continued with his work. After all, people who were anxious to find him would call directly, and text messages were generally not urgent.

Yan Hao completed the check of the arm circuit slowly and checked it again. After making sure there was no problem, he remembered the message just now and raised his hand to take a look casually.

[Hello Xiaohao, I am Sheng Tianxing, is it convenient for me to talk? ]

Sheng Tianxing? General Sheng?!

Yan Hao reacted and glanced at the time. It had been two hours. Two hours had passed since General Sheng sent this message.

Yan Hao didn't even dare to waste time getting down the ladder, and directly called back. After about two or three seconds, the call was connected.

"Uncle, I'm sorry for replying to your call only now." Yan Hao sincerely apologized to General Sheng on the projected screen, with a look of guilt on his face.

"It's okay, I disturbed you suddenly, I hope it didn't delay your making of the mecha." The mecha was behind Yan Hao. Although the full picture of the mecha was not revealed, Admiral Sheng could tell it at a glance because he dealt with mechas every day.

"No, no." Yan Hao shook his head quickly.

"That's good, that's good." General Sheng said "good" twice in a row, and then paused, not knowing how to start the topic.

Yan Hao waited for a while, and when he saw that General Sheng suddenly stopped talking, he took the initiative to ask, "Uncle, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes, it's..." General Sheng choked on his words. He heard Sheng Heng say that Sima Mingxuan had kidnapped Yan Hao, and Yan Hao hated him very much. His purpose of looking for Yan Hao this time was to ask Yan Hao to help treat Sima Mingxuan. This request seemed a bit unreasonable.

"What?" Yan Hao looked curious.

General Sheng was a straightforward person. After hesitating for a while, he decided to tell the truth: "I came here this time to ask for your help, but if you don't want to help, just refuse me directly. Don't force it."

"You said, I will definitely help if I can?" Although Yan Hao said this, he had already made up his mind in his heart that he would definitely help as long as it was something he could do.

"It's... about Sima Mingxuan."

Yan Hao was stunned.

"Sima Mingxuan, like Sheng Zhuo, has used the Phantom Potion to raise his mental power to S-level. Sheng Zhuo's mental power has been stable since his advancement, but Sima Mingxuan's mental power seems to have some problems. Some time ago, General Sima came to me to discuss the exchange of ore, mecha, and level 10 potion for the potion formula. Do you... agree?" General Sheng pretended not to know that Sheng Heng had mentioned this to Yan Hao. In this way, Yan Hao would not have any psychological burden if he wanted to refuse.

When General Sheng mentioned Sima Mingxuan, Yan Hao already knew what General Sheng was going to say next. This was the third time he had heard this exchange request.

"Uncle, what do you think?" Yan Hao did not answer immediately, but instead asked General Sheng what he thought.

"My opinion is not important. This is your own prescription. You decide," said General Sheng.

"My uncle contacted me personally. He must want me to save Sima Mingxuan, right?" Yan Hao said firmly.

"I do want you to save Sima Mingxuan, but as I said before, my opinion is not important. You decide on your prescription," said General Sheng.

"Can I hear your reason for asking me to save him?" Yan Hao asked.

"Because he has S-level mental power and has the talent and potential to become a level 10 mecha warrior." Admiral Sheng saw that Yan Hao did not interrupt him, so he continued, "Sheng Heng told me about the feud between you two. I don't like his character, but..."

Admiral Sheng pondered for a moment, hesitated for a while before continuing: "Do you know the top combat power of the Zerg?"

"Level 10 Zerg?" Yan Hao asked.

"It's the Insect King." Admiral Sheng shook his head and explained, "In the information released by the Federation, the Insect King was deliberately weakened to a level 10 Zerg."

Weakened? Yan Hao grasped the key point.

"The first time the Insect King appeared was three hundred years ago. At that time, the Federation dispatched five level 10 mechas to severely injure the Insect King. This event was recorded in the history of the Federation. You learned about it in elementary school. But what was not recorded in history was that the Federation was able to repel the Insect King not because of the extraordinary combat power of the five level 10 mechas, but because... the Insect King was in a weak state at that time."

"Weak?" Yan Hao widened his eyes in shock.

"Yes, at that time, the Zerg King had just appeared in the Federation. They tore a wormhole from some unknown galaxy and came to the Federation. The emergence of the Zerg brought a devastating blow to the Federation, and then there was a three hundred years of fighting. During this period, scientists continued to study the Zerg."

"Scientists believe that the Zerg may have destroyed one or more civilizations before coming to the Federation. They occupied that civilization for who knows how many years until they devoured all the life in that civilization. They had no food, and hunger prompted them to continue searching. They wandered in the universe, and the Zerg King spent his energy to randomly create wormholes, and finally came to the Federation. Therefore, although the Zerg that just entered the Federation was hungry, they were not as strong as they are now. And the Zerg King, who constantly created wormholes in the universe in order to find new civilizations, could not be in a strong state. From this, it can be inferred that the Zerg King at that time was not in his prime at all."

Yan Hao nodded secretly, this guess was very reasonable.

"The Insect King is already so powerful even when he is not in his prime. If the Insect King recovers in these years, it will be difficult for the Federation to deal with it with its current combat power."

Yan Hao understood: "So you want me to cure Sima Mingxuan, because you don't know when the Insect King will wake up. One more level 10 combat power will provide more protection for the Federation."

"That's right." Admiral Sheng nodded.

"I understand. Return the medicine to them." Yan Hao agreed without much hesitation. "But I don't want to have any contact with Sima Mingxuan. Please find a pharmacist to connect with me and let him be the middleman between me and Sima Mingxuan. Let Sima Mingxuan pass the physical data to him, and then pass it to me."

"You...really agree?" General Sheng was afraid that Yan Hao would force himself, so he confirmed again and again.

"I agreed to exchange something, but I don't know what to ask for right now. I don't need anything right now." Yan Hao scratched his head in confusion, "How about waiting for you to come back from the mission, and then you can help me decide?"

"Let Sheng Heng help you decide?"

"Mine belongs to my senior anyway." Yan Hao said without thinking.

Admiral Sheng looked at Yan Hao's face without a trace of hesitation, and then looked at the half-made mecha behind him. Even though the target was his own son, Admiral Sheng couldn't help but feel jealous.

This mecha was made by Yan Hao himself. Needless to say, it is definitely a higher level mecha than the "Rebirth" that Sheng Heng is currently driving. Judging from the progress, it will be completed in another year. In four years, he has replaced three mechas, and each one is a customized mimic mecha. Is this a treatment that ordinary people can have?

"Okay, I'll talk to Sheng Heng when he comes back."

"Um..." Yan Hao asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Is the mission you are going to carry out this time dangerous?"

Admiral Sheng smiled and said, "It's not dangerous. The previous plan to raid the Zerg was very successful. If nothing unexpected happens, there won't be any large-scale conflicts in the next few years. Besides, you are protecting him, he will be fine, believe in yourself."

"I protect my senior?" Yan Hao was stunned.

"Yes, the rebirth you created with your own hands has been protecting him."

Mecha warriors are the guardians of the Federation, and mecha manufacturers are the guardians of mecha warriors.

Yan Hao's eyes brightened when he reacted. He smiled brightly and nodded heavily: "I will do my best to protect you, senior."

"Then Sheng Heng, I'll leave it to you." General Sheng smiled.

"Yes." Yan Hao nodded seriously again.

"Then continue with your work. I won't bother you anymore." Admiral Sheng was about to hang up the call, but when he glanced at the mecha behind Yan Hao, he couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Hao, what level is this mecha you made?"

"Level seven mimicry mecha?" Yan Hao replied.

"Level seven. After the Phantom Stone is upgraded, it can reach level eight. Will the power of the level eight mimicry mecha reach the level of a traditional level ten mecha?" If so, then at the moment this mecha is completed, Sheng Heng will be equivalent to a level ten mecha warrior.

"This can only be specifically tested after the mecha is manufactured. The upgrade effect of the Phantom Stone is related to the mental state of the mecha maker during the upgrade process. Moreover, the higher the level of the mecha, the more the degree of improvement of the Phantom Stone will be affected, so I am not sure." Yan Hao said rigorously.

Admiral Sheng nodded to show that he understood: "Then do you and Mr. Zhong have any ideas for more advanced mimicry mechas? When do you expect them to be made?"

"In fact, I am still exploring the overall production of the seventh-level mimicry mecha, and I don't have a complete idea for the eighth-level mecha." Yan Hao said honestly, "And the mecha becomes more difficult to produce as time goes by. I have only been learning mecha for a short time, and I estimate that it will take a long time to make progress on the eighth-level mecha."

Yan Hao felt that his idea of ​​​​mimicking mecha had reached a bottleneck period. He needed to manufacture more mechas and then look for breakthroughs through continuous practice.

"Is that so?" An obvious look of disappointment flashed across General Sheng's face.

"I'll try harder."

"Don't pay attention to me, and don't feel too much pressure." Admiral Sheng immediately realized his mistake, "I just really want to see a new mecha that surpasses the tenth-level mecha. In fact, you have done very well."

Yan Hao's contribution to mecha manufacturing in recent years is enough to stand out from the crowd, and the purple medal is the Federation's recognition of him. Admiral Sheng just wanted a new mecha that surpassed the tenth-level mecha. Only when he mastered a more powerful force than before, he would not be worried about the Insect King who had not yet appeared.

He didn't know why, but he was always restless recently. It seemed that the outer galaxy was too quiet recently. The Federation killed so many Zerg at once. Admiral Sheng thought that the Zerg in the outer galaxy would be a little restless in the coming time. He even arranged for defense. But during this period, it was too quiet. The Zerg didn't react at all, as if the death of those Zerg had nothing to do with them.

A large number of deaths will inevitably cause panic and agitation. Is this the nature of the group, or is it that the Zerg cannot sense it because they are distributed on different planets? Admiral Sheng does not think so. The Zerg can rely on their physical bodies to travel in space. He does not believe that such a large-scale strangulation will not allow a single Zerg to escape.

Even ants will use a unique method to notify their own kind for help when they find food, let alone insects.
