The base's material room was not far from the maintenance room, and it was designed to facilitate mecha builders to come and collect materials. Yan Hao walked in the direction pointed by Senior Xu Peng for five or six minutes and saw a room with a sign that said "material room".

"Come to collect the materials for the sixth-level energy blocks?" Most of the people in the base were familiar with each other. When they suddenly saw a young man they didn't know, with a young and immature look on his face, they could guess without asking that he was a student who came here for the examination today.

"Yeah." Even though Yan Hao's personality has become much more cheerful after his rebirth, he still subconsciously behaves reserved when he sees strangers.

The person in charge of collecting the materials was a middle-aged man with a full beard. Seeing Yan Hao's reserved attitude, he subconsciously touched his face and asked his colleague next to him: "Do I look scary?"

"I told you to shave your beard, and look at you, you scared the children." The man laughed.

When Yan Hao heard the other party calling him a child, he inexplicably felt ashamed. According to his age in his previous life, he and the people inside should be the same age.

The bearded man was not angry. He looked at Yan Hao helplessly and said earnestly, "You are already a sophomore. In two years, when you are a senior, you will have to take the military combat assessment. You can't be so brave."

"I'm not afraid." Yan Hao explained.

"Then why are you so nervous?" asked the bearded man.

"I'm here to collect the materials." Yan Hao just wanted to collect the materials and leave.

"Why are you afraid of collecting some materials?" the bearded man asked persistently.

"I...I don't have any points yet." Yan Hao said.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Are you so nervous because you don't have enough points and you're afraid you won't be able to buy the materials? Didn't Xu Peng tell you that you could borrow them first?"

Yan Hao was about to answer when he heard the bearded man holding a sign and handing it to him. "This is the borrowing rule. According to the rule, half of the things you make with the borrowed materials must be paid to us as compensation. You can also use level 6 energy blocks to exchange for production materials. One level 6 energy block is equivalent to three materials. Although the prices are a bit high, this is a barren planet and supplies are scarce, so they are naturally high."

After explaining the rules, the bearded man asked Yan Hao, "Are you planning to exchange or borrow?"

"Borrow it." Yan Hao didn't have a level 6 energy block on him, so he couldn't change it even if he wanted to.

"How many copies do you want to borrow?"

"Two?" Yan Hao asked.

"Two?" The bearded man was startled and reminded, "You must take out half of the energy blocks you made as compensation. You only received two materials. If one is scrapped during production, you will have nothing. If both are scrapped, you will owe us points. I advise you to take more, four or six, to ensure that you can make two energy blocks first."

"I only need two." Yan Hao insisted.

Seeing Yan Hao's determined expression, the bearded man did not continue to insist, and took out two documents and handed them to him: "Scan them here, and the materials will be ready to go."

The bearded man pointed to a sensor nearby.

Yan Hao scanned it with the optical computer terminal and immediately received a message indicating that he had taken away two sets of materials for level six energy blocks from the base's material room.

"Thank you." Yan Hao took the materials and turned to walk towards the previous maintenance room, where there were the tools needed to make energy blocks.

The bearded man looked at Yan Hao's back and said to his colleague with a smile, "Although this kid is a little timid, his academic performance should be good."

"What do you mean?"

"There is still a certain scrap rate in making level six energy blocks. I just reminded him to get a few more materials, but he insisted on only getting two. It's obvious that he is very confident." said the bearded man.

"You just said that someone is timid, and now you say that someone is confident," said a colleague.

"Would you like to make a bet? I think he can produce two level six energy blocks." said the bearded man.

"You said that the student was very confident, and I still bet with you. Am I stupid?" the colleague said unhappily.

"Then let's bet on the efficiency of the energy blocks he makes." The bearded man said, "Generally, the Federal University requires sophomores to master level 6 energy blocks by the end of their first semester. The average efficiency is about 66.52%. I bet this student's efficiency can exceed 70%."

“There are always a few excellent students in a class. More than 70 percent is too loose,” the man said.

"Then... 77%." The bearded man said again.

"77%? It seems like you are really optimistic about this kid." The colleague thought he was bored anyway, so he agreed, "Then I'll bet it's below 77%, and I'll bet on a meal."

"You're being too lenient. You're clearly taking advantage." The bearded man rolled his eyes at him. If it was below 77%, then even if the student just now could make an energy block with 50% efficiency, he would still be considered the winner.

"It was you who insisted on blocking it," said the colleague.

"Okay." The bearded man didn't care. It was just a meal after all.

Here, Yan Hao didn't know that the energy block he hadn't made yet was being used for gambling. After returning to the maintenance room, he went to the operating table, took out the tools for making energy blocks and started making them.

The bearded man actually guessed correctly. The reason why Yan Hao only received two sets of materials was because he had absolute confidence.

The production of energy blocks mainly relies on two points, computing power and mental control. Yan Hao's strength is mathematics. When he first came into contact with energy blocks and learned the formula of the fourth-level energy block, he studied the combination formula of the energy block thoroughly. Mathematics is the most logical thing, and it is also used uniformly in energy blocks. Therefore, although Yan Hao has never made a sixth-level energy block by himself, he understands the formula. For him, the formula of the sixth-level energy block is actually a fifth-level energy block formula with a larger base number, which is not difficult at all.

As for mental strength, Yan Hao had practiced more than ten years more than others in his previous life, and had already surpassed most students and even teachers.

Combining the above two points, in Yan Hao's eyes, the sixth-level energy block is actually no different from the fifth-level energy block, so he is extremely confident.

Although the production difficulty is similar, the computing power of the sixth-level energy block is greater than that of the fifth-level energy block, there are more unstable points, and it takes more time to channel mental power, so it took him more than an hour to complete the production of both energy blocks.

After the production was completed, Yan Hao took the two energy blocks and ran back to the previous material room, fearing that the other party would be off work and he would not be able to exchange the materials. He had just arrived at the base and had no points, so he wanted to get more materials to go back and make them at night.

"Captain." Yan Hao didn't know how to address the bearded man, so he could only address him by his military rank.

"Why did you come back so soon?" The bearded man couldn't help but frowned when he saw Yan Hao. He had only been out for an hour, so why did he come back so soon? Could it be that both sets of materials were scrapped?

Could it be that I was wrong this time?

"I'll come to exchange materials." Yan Hao said.

"Have you finished making it? Show it to me." The bearded man stretched out his hand towards Yan Hao.

Yan Hao quickly handed over the two energy blocks.

The bearded man felt it in his hand for a moment and glanced at his colleague. The colleague understood and turned around to take out a testing instrument.

When Yan Hao saw the testing instrument, he couldn't help but panic: Are there still efficiency requirements for the energy blocks used for exchange? He didn't know if his energy blocks could meet the requirements.

When he finished making them, he thought that the two energy blocks would be used to exchange for materials, so he took them without testing them.

"Are there any requirements for the effective energy of the energy block? What is considered qualified?" Yan Hao asked nervously.

The bearded man casually replied, “77%.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Hao became even more nervous. 77% was close to the master level. It was his first time making a level 6 energy block, and he had not tried his best just now in order to save speed.

The colleague laughed, but did not expose the bearded man. Instead, he took the testing instrument and started testing the energy block. After a beep, the test result appeared: [Level 6 energy block, efficiency 78.11%]

The colleague was stunned, and the bearded man holding the energy block was also stunned. After looking at each other, they looked at Yan Hao at the same time.

Yan Hao also saw the test results and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, fortunately, I passed.

What the two had just tested was the first level six energy block he had made. If the first one passed the test, then the second one would surely pass as well.

The bearded man and his colleague looked away and continued to test the second block. After a beep, the test result came out: [Level 6 energy block, efficiency 78.92%]

There was a brief silence in the material room. Although the bearded man was very optimistic about Yan Hao and thought that he could produce energy blocks with an efficiency of more than 77%, the speed of producing two blocks in just over an hour was a bit scary. This averaged less than 40 minutes per block, and even with his mental strength, he could barely clear out the unstable points inside, not to mention that he had to use the optical computer for calculations during the period.

"I should have passed the test." Yan Hao couldn't help but remind them when he saw that they were taking no action.

The two looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Well, it's barely qualified." said the bearded man.

My colleague couldn’t help but roll his eyes after hearing this: An energy block with 77% efficiency, you call that barely qualified?

"Then can I exchange three more materials?" Yan Hao was delighted and asked quickly.

"Of course." Not to mention three, energy blocks with an efficiency of more than 75% can be exchanged for an additional set of materials.

As he spoke, the bearded man took out four documents and handed them over.

"It seems there is one extra portion." Yan Hao reminded.

"Well, you can get an extra energy block with 78% efficiency." said the bearded man.

"Why?" Yan Hao asked.

Colleagues laughed at the joke and said: Let’s see how you explain it.

"It's like this." The bearded man rolled his eyes and came up with a plan. "In order to encourage mecha builders to produce energy blocks with better performance, our base has established a reward system. For energy blocks with an efficiency of more than 77%, for every one percentage point increase in efficiency, you can exchange for one more material."

Well, this explanation is very good and flawless.

Yan Hao's eyes lit up: "That means 79% can receive five copies of the materials, 80% can receive six copies, and so on?"

"Not only that." The bearded man said immediately, "If you can make a master-level energy block, you can exchange it for ten materials at a time. After that, for every percentage point increase, you can exchange it for two more materials."

The first 77% was a lie that Big Beard told Yan Hao, but the latter rule actually existed in the base. When the efficiency of an energy block exceeds 80%, there will be a qualitative leap, which is equivalent to ten energy blocks with an efficiency of more than 70%.

"Ten copies?" Yan Hao looked down at the four copies of materials in his hand and began to calculate in his mind: if he had four copies, he could get forty copies of materials. If he could make them, he would have enough energy blocks to exchange for points.

"If I use energy blocks with an efficiency of over 80% to exchange for dormitories, can I also exchange them for a few more days?" Yan Hao asked.

"Of course. An energy block with 80% of its capacity is enough for you to live in until the assessment is over." The bearded man thought for a moment and added, "Anything above 77% can also cover three days' rent."

"Thank you, I understand." Yan Hao thanked him and left with the materials.

When the bearded man saw him leave, he immediately turned to his colleague and said, "You owe me a meal."

"Okay." The colleague responded with a smile, "But why did you lie to the kid and ask for an energy block with more than 77%?"

"How could I be lying? I gave him all the materials he should have." The bearded man said disapprovingly, "Besides, after I said this, he will seriously work hard to improve the efficiency of the energy block. This will also be good for him. What if he really makes a master-level sixth-level energy block?"

"You are so confident. How about another bet? Let's see if the energy blocks he brings next time exceed 80 percent." said a colleague.

"Let's bet, I bet there is no such thing." The bearded man said immediately.

"Hey, don't you have confidence in him?"

"Even if we have confidence, it doesn't mean we can achieve 78% today and 80% tomorrow. We are all mecha manufacturers. You know how difficult it is to achieve an efficiency of more than 80%." said the bearded man.

His colleague rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.

"Hey, are you still going to gamble?" the bearded man encouraged his colleague.

My colleague is also a person with a bad temper. He immediately said, "Let's bet. It's still a meal. I bet he can exceed 80%."

It’s just a meal and it doesn’t cost much, so just treat it as fun.

Yan Hao originally wanted to make three more energy blocks before it got dark, and then use one to pay for the rent and the remaining two to exchange for materials. But after listening to the big bearded man's words, Yan Hao changed his mind and planned to try to make a master-level energy block.

Just as the bearded man said, the difficulty of making an energy block with an efficiency of more than 80% is several times that of making an energy block with an efficiency of 70%. Not only does the calculated value need to be more accurate, but the guidance of mental power also needs to be more precise. When the first energy block was completed, Yan Hao looked at the time and saw that it was already an hour and a half later. It took longer than the previous two blocks. However, thinking that this could be exchanged for ten materials at a time, which was two more than the previous two blocks combined, it was not a loss.

"I'll practice more when I go back in the evening, and I'll be able to go faster." Seeing that it was getting dark, Yan Hao collected the remaining materials and then used a testing instrument to measure the efficiency of the energy block.

[Level 6 energy block, efficiency 82.36%. ]

"It's more than two percentage points. If I take it to the materials room to get materials, I can get two more." Yan Hao secretly calculated and felt that it was a pity to use it to pay the rent. But he thought that he had to live there anyway, so he would take a small loss and exchange the remaining three materials for materials.

If it was in school, Yan Hao would not be so "calculating", because money cannot be used in this base, and points can only be exchanged for corresponding items. And he is not good at repairing mechas, so he can only buy ready-made mecha parts as much as possible to replace them, so as to earn more points.

Yan Hao took the energy block and walked towards the dormitory. As soon as he entered the lobby on the first floor, a robot came up to him and asked in an electronic voice: "Hello, classmate Yan Hao, do you want to exchange dormitories?"

The robot sensed Yan Hao's terminal and called out his name.

"Yes." Yan Hao responded quickly.

"Please put the energy blocks that need to be exchanged into the built-in space." A space the size of an energy block suddenly appeared in the robot's chest.

Yan Hao put the energy block in, and the robot immediately began to test: "Level 6 energy block, efficiency 82.36%, can be deducted from fifteen days of rent."

Fifteen days, I can’t live here that long.

After thinking for a while, Yan Hao said, "Can we exchange for two rooms?"

If I can exchange two rooms, I can leave one for Senior Sheng Heng.

"Okay." said the robot.

"Then exchange for two rooms." Yan Hao said.

"The exchange is successful. Room 306 is for eight days, and room 307 is for seven days. Please enter the terminal number and bind the room permissions." said the robot.

Yan Hao quickly entered his own terminal number, but he didn't know Sheng Heng's terminal number. Thinking that Sheng Heng might have been fighting outside at this time, he didn't dare to send a message to ask directly. So he discussed with the robot: "I don't remember my friend's terminal number, can you just bind mine?"

"Yes, bind the two rooms to one terminal, and then you can share the permissions yourself." The robot said, and the system started to operate directly, binding the two rooms together to Yan Hao's terminal.

At the same time, an option to share appeared in the light brain. Yan Hao naturally clicked on share without thinking. Then all his terminal friends appeared in the list column. Yan Hao clicked Sheng Heng, and the sharing was completed.

After binding, Yan Hao went upstairs to his room.

At the same time, in a jungle not far from the base, sophomore students from the Federal University were exploring a jungle.

Although Xiao Tianhan did not give the students time to rest at the base, he was not so cold-blooded as to not allow them to rest. So after completing an hour of exploration, he chose this jungle and let them camp in the wild. After the students finished camping, Xiao Tianhan left and told them to walk the rest of the way by themselves. When they encountered danger, they could send out a distress signal, and then he would show up to help.

The students sat around the campfire in groups of three or four, complaining about the cold-bloodedness of the school.

"I didn't sleep well on the spaceship, and now I'm directly entering the actual combat assessment. The school is too strict."

"Who told you not to sleep?"

"You think I don't want to? I can't sleep when I'm on a spaceship."

"This is a disease and needs to be treated."

"Grass."

Some people also envy mecha makers.

"Mecha makers are still the best. I just contacted Xia Liu and they have all moved into the dormitory." Xia Liu is the mecha maker of the student team.

"The dormitory needs a level six energy block in exchange. Bai Heng just sent us a message asking us to kill more Zergs in exchange for points, otherwise the cost of repair materials will not be enough." Before leaving, Xiao Tianhan also explained to them the points rules in the base.

"Us too." Almost every mecha warrior received a request to earn points from the mecha manufacturer of his team.

"I was wondering why the teacher only let us survive in the wild for seven days this time, and only required us not to return unless our mechas were damaged or the energy was exhausted, but did not assign us the task of killing the Zerg. Now it seems that this is a disguised way of assigning tasks using points."

You can't come out for an assessment and not even earn enough money to repair your mecha.

Cheng Wenkang listened to his classmates' complaints, subconsciously looked at his terminal, and then asked Sheng Heng: "Boss, why didn't the junior send us a message to earn points?"

Sheng Heng was also wondering, he had just checked the terminal and had not received any message from his junior.

The mecha warrior sitting next to Cheng Wenkang heard what he said and asked, "Can the junior you brought here make level 6 energy blocks? I heard that level 6 energy blocks are something you learn in the second half of the freshman year. School has just started, so he probably hasn't learned it yet. If he doesn't have level 6 energy blocks, he won't even be able to live in the dormitory."

"Yes, boss, can I make a level 6 energy block?" Cheng Wenkang also asked.

Sheng Heng frowned. Although he had confidence in Yan Hao, the sixth-level energy block was something he had not learned yet, and he didn't know if Yan Hao could do it.

With a "whoosh", Sheng Heng stood up and raised his hand to summon the dark soul.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Cheng Wenkang asked.

"I'm going to kill some bugs." Each level 4 Zerg is worth one point, and three points can be used to offset one day's rent.

"You want to earn rent for your junior?" Cheng Wenkang understood immediately.

The other students also saw this, and they would do the same if they were in their place. Not to mention that the mecha warriors themselves have the obligation to provide a good rest environment for the mecha manufacturers who accompany them. Even if this is not the case, with the talent that Yan Hao has shown before, they must do everything they can to win him over. Although the level 5 energy block is not a rare thing, but he can reach the master level in his freshman year. With this talent, maybe in two years, Yan Hao will become a very powerful mecha manufacturer.

Sheng Heng nodded and was about to leave when the computer terminal suddenly rang.

Yan Hao? !

Sheng Heng quickly clicked it, and then he was completely stunned.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Wenkang saw Sheng Heng suddenly stopped moving, so he leaned over to take a look and immediately shouted "Oh my God!"

Others looked over curiously and asked what happened.

"The junior also rented a dormitory for the eldest brother, and it's for seven days." Cheng Wenkang screamed.

Suddenly, a series of rustling sounds were heard in the jungle.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. They are both mecha manufacturers, but their mecha manufacturers only send messages to help them earn more points, while others even help them rent a dormitory. This is to prepare for Sheng Heng to have a place to rest when he goes back to rest. Not only does he take care of the mecha, but he also takes care of the mecha warriors.

Cheng Wenkang thought about it and clicked

He checked his own optical computer terminal back and forth: "Where's mine?"

"Isn't it possible that Junior Brother only rented a dormitory for you?"

Sheng Heng looked at him, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and sat back by the campfire with a look of smugness that everyone could see.

Cheng Wenkang waited for two minutes, but still did not see any news about Yan Hao's rental. He could only comfort himself: "Maybe this dormitory is a double room."

"Rent it yourself." Sheng Heng glared at him.

“……”Cheng Wenkang.

It’s just three points. I can earn it, so I can rent it myself.
