Georgia browsed the registration page, hesitated for a moment, and then honestly filled in the registration information and clicked Submit.
The system responded quickly. After submission, it immediately showed that his registration was successful and sent him a player number. Then, the competition details and competition process were sent to the communication number bound to his main ID.
In less than a minute, he became the 500123456th contestant in the 1106th Starnet Mecha Manufacturing Competition.
He silently counted the digits of his number and found that the popularity of this competition far exceeded his imagination. Among the billions of people in the entire federation, there were more than 500 million people participating in this competition. This was despite the official website's regulation that a person could not participate in two consecutive competitions. In other words, none of the people who participated in the previous batch could sign up for this batch.
Given that he can only make basic parts now, will he be eliminated in the first round?
Moreover, the final game of this competition requires the contestants to assemble a mecha using all the parts they made during the competition. In other words, if you want to make it to the end, you must have a general idea of the mecha you want to make in your mind at the moment of participating in the competition. To be more demanding, you must be able to completely design and manufacture a mecha before the competition, otherwise you will not be able to make it to the finals.
But mecha assembly and design...that's a fourth-year course in military academy.
Georgia began to feel worried again. The bearded old man, no, Master Shang, had let him participate in the competition with such confidence. If he failed to live up to Master Shang's expectations and was eliminated in the first round, then -
The communicator suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts. He was so scared that his ears stood up straight. Then he looked at the time and saw that it was exactly ten o'clock. He immediately jumped up and quickly answered the call. He looked at Chu Rong's figure that appeared in the air and called out happily, "Chu Rong!"
Chu Rong, who was sitting in the ship's room, saw him like this and his expression visibly relaxed. He asked, "How was your first day of class?"
Georgia moved forward a little, happiness and longing written all over her face. Upon hearing this, she chattered about what happened that day, and then focused on the fact that Master Shang was actually the bearded teacher.
"It's him." Chu Rong moved his fingers, wanting to touch his head. He realized that he couldn't touch him because he was not around. He felt a little annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He said slowly, "Master Shang is a very good person. You can use your abilities in front of him without worry. Even if he finds out something, he won't tell anyone. It's late. You should go to bed."
Georgia's joy and anticipation disappeared when she heard that. Her ears slowly drooped. She looked at him reluctantly and whispered, "Let's talk for a while. Ten minutes, just ten minutes. I'll only stay up ten minutes later, okay? I don't have classes tonight, so you can come find me earlier. I'm always here."
His feelings were sincere and he did not conceal them at all. His reluctance was all revealed on his face. Chu Rong's heart had already softened when he was looked at like this. His emotions made him want to agree, but his reason told him not to.
Georgia had just stayed up all night over the weekend and had gotten up early this morning to attend a day of classes. Now was the time when he needed a good rest, and he didn't want to waste even ten minutes.
"Tomorrow." He spoke, his Adam's apple moving, and his tone was almost gentle and coaxing: "I will find you earlier tomorrow. Go to bed on time today. If you can't sleep, touch the simulator. You need to rest."
"But..." Georgia still couldn't bear to leave, and said dejectedly: "But I miss you so much..."
Chu Rong's heartstrings were plucked. He tilted his head and pressed his forehead. He let out a light breath without leaving any trace. Then he looked at him again and said, "I have to rest too. I have to get up early tomorrow to arrange some things with Xiangnan and the others. It will be very busy."
Georgia watched him press his forehead and guessed that he must have a lot of things to do on the ship when he first came on board. Although she was reluctant, she felt sorry for his busyness, so she obediently lifted the quilt and lay down, saying sensibly: "Then I'll rest, you should go to bed early too, good night."
"good evening."
Chu Rong replied in a gentle voice, and seeing him saying good night but looking at this side eagerly, he raised his hand to touch his head, but halfway through he came to his senses, paused, and turned off the communication.
The other person's figure disappeared. Georgia lowered her eyes, slid down and buried her head in the quilt. After a while, she got up again, turned off the lights, wrapped herself in the quilt, and touched the mental simulator on her ear. When she felt the familiar power slowly surrounding her, she curled up her limbs, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
On the ship, Chu Rong stared at the air without images for a few seconds, then stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and said to Fan Xiangnan who was waiting at the door: "Let's go to the meeting."
Fan Xiangnan nodded, waited for him to come out, then followed him. Looking at his obviously annoyed expression, he sighed in his heart.
——Even though he was so busy, he still found time to call Qiao goodnight. I guess this separation was very hard for the boss. After all, the two of them just confirmed their relationship not long ago, but the current situation... Alas.
It was not until the next day when class was about to start that Georgia remembered that he had forgotten to tell Chu Rong that he was going to participate in the competition. He quickly sent a message, then waited for a long time with the communicator in his hands with anticipation in his eyes, but he never got a response. The anticipation in his eyes disappeared, and he slumped down on the table dejectedly.
Sangbu, who was sitting next to him, reached out and pulled his ear.
He sat up suddenly and looked over with wide eyes, unable to believe that the person who had just "bullied" his ears was Sangbu, who was always aloof and unsociable.
"Be alert, the class will start soon." Sangbu calmly withdrew his hand, pushed a box of snacks in front of him, and said, "Didn't you say you were going to participate in a competition? The first competition will be in a month, you should prepare well."
Xiang Kun, who was passing by, stopped when he heard this, and actually came over and spoke to Georgia in a relatively gentle manner, asking, "Participate in the competition? What competition did you sign up for?"
Georgia turned her head to look at him and suddenly felt that he had become a little strange.
Like Chu Yan, Xiang Kun has grown a lot taller this year. His previously delicate facial features have grown into something more delicate and gentle, and he has gradually acquired the gentle and refined temperament typical of the Xiang family. He also seems to be much more stable, and the restlessness in his eyes has disappeared without a trace.
It was like he had become a completely different person, becoming mature in the blink of an eye.
He suddenly felt a subtle emotion of "I watched this child grow up", and he raised the corner of his mouth and replied gently: "It's the Starnet Mecha Manufacturing Competition, did you participate?"
He had just asked casually to show his goodwill, but he didn't expect Xiang Kun to frown and think seriously for a while, then replied, "I'll sign up, thank you." Then he walked away.
But the registration period has already ended... His explanation was choked back by Xiang Kun's back, and he didn't have time to finish it.
Sangbu looked at Xiang Kun's back and frowned slightly: "What happened to him? He has changed so much."
When Xiang Kun was in junior college, he liked to bring a group of younger brothers with him wherever he went. He acted like a real young master, and was arrogant and jumpy. Apart from his grades, he looked like a problem teenager. Why did he suddenly become like this now?
Georgia could sense that Xiang Kun's aura had really become gentler and he was not pretending, but the whole person seemed to be held down by something heavy. His aura became very low and he was not as cheerful and lively as before.
"Grown up." He answered, somewhat relieved that Xiang Kun had changed for the better, but also worried about his current dullness. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe he needs a fight to relieve his emotions."
Sambu looked at him in confusion.
He remembered Chu Yan's special method of "encouragement", shook his ears, and smiled at Sangbu.
After lunch, Georgia said goodbye to Sangbu and went to the No. 01 Practice Building. On the way, she called Chu Yan and told him about Xiang Kun. Chu Yan was very positive and said that he would go to Xiang Kun to "have fun".
The Mecha Manufacturing Department's Practice Building No. 01 is very large. It is the most important and most admired of all the practice buildings in the Mecha Manufacturing Department, because this building is full of laboratories of the top teachers. Except for teachers and related laboratory personnel, as well as students accepted by the teachers, no one else can get in. This also leads to the road to Practice Building No. 01 being very deserted, and few vehicles drive by.
Georgia followed the navigation and turned at the fork in the road into the obviously narrower road leading to Practice Building No. 01, which attracted passing students to stop and watch with a hint of envy in their eyes.
Those who can go to Practice Building No. 01 are basically the most talented among the talented.
Georgia was stopped at the gate, so he got out of the car and called Master Shang. Master Shang quickly answered the call, asked him to wait, and then hung up.
Less than five minutes later, Ronnie, who looked even more "cool" than yesterday, yawned and walked out. He used his pass to open the door for him, and said as he led him inside, "I'll take you to get a pass later. When you need to use the laboratory in the future, come here. It's quieter and safer. By the way, Junior Brother, I heard that you signed up for the Starnet Mech Manufacturing Competition? Your current learning progress is not good, you have to hurry up."
Georgia was stunned by his natural junior brother's call and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Ronnie was his homeroom teacher, and logically, he should call him teacher. However, because of Master Shang, calling him teacher didn't seem appropriate. And the title of senior brother... he had lied first, and he always felt that he was not qualified to call him so intimately. In short, he was very conflicted.
"Junior brother?"
Ronnie waved his hand in front of him, called him back to his senses, and took him into the elevator. Then he raised his arm and put his elbow on his shoulder, raised his hand to touch the stubble on his chin, and said, "Junior brother, do you think it's not good to lie to the master?"
Georgia twitched her ears visibly, her face full of guilt and self-blame, she couldn't suppress it at all, and whispered, "I'm sorry..."
"It's okay." Ronnie replied shamelessly, and then said: "In fact, I also lied to Master in the same way. You see, he didn't beat me to death back then, so I think he should have forgiven you now. Relax, Master is easy to please. If you don't believe me, try calling him Master later."
Hmm? Back then?
Georgia looked sideways at him, her eyes curious.
"Oh, it's just a few small mistakes I made when I was young." Ronnie looked like he was recalling the past. He pulled back his arm and stroked his hair, saying, "I just pretended to be a girl to get close to Master, played hide-and-seek for two years, lied to Master that I was an orphan... and so on. Master still fell for it. He's soft-hearted."
“…”
"So it's okay." Ronnie patted his shoulder, and when he saw the elevator was opening, he reached out and pushed it, saying, "Go ahead, try calling me Master."
Outside the elevator was a large laboratory with many precision instruments neatly arranged inside. Several experimenters in dark work clothes were moving around inside. Hearing the sound of the elevator stopping, Master Shang, who was standing in the corner holding an electronic notebook and talking to the experimenter, turned his head, then stopped the experimenter from speaking and walked over.
Georgia stopped and looked at the "bearded" teacher who was much taller than the one on StarNet. Suddenly, she felt a little courage in her heart. After the other party came closer, she took the initiative to call out, "Teacher, good afternoon." The title "Master" was too intimate, so she didn't dare to say it.
"Yeah." Master Shang's reaction was very normal, as if there had never been any deception or concealment between the two of them, and they had always been ordinary teacher and student. He motioned for him to follow him inside and asked kindly, "You came here so soon, haven't you eaten yet?"
You actually just agreed to it? Are you really not to blame me?
Georgia was stunned for a moment and didn't follow. Then Ronnie patted her gently. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Master Shang and nodded and replied, "No, I didn't eat."
"Then eat something here." Master Shang slowed down his pace to match his speed and glanced at Ronnie, who raised an eyebrow at him.
Georgia didn't notice their eye contact, and she was delighted belatedly. She pursed her lips to reveal a smile, nodded vigorously and replied: "Okay! Let's eat together." The bearded teacher was still as good-tempered as ever!
Master Shang retracted his gaze and looked at him, remembering the news he got from Chu Rong in the morning. He became more and more satisfied with this little disciple, and so he disliked the unreliable eldest disciple more and more. He wished he could personally force him to shave his beard, change his clothes, and then send him on a blind date!
They had a simple lunch together first. After lunch, Master Shang took Georgia to a small laboratory at the deepest part of the fourth floor and said, "This is for you to use in the future. I heard that you have prepared a batch of instruments that are better than those provided by the school, so I won't help you arrange them. You can clean up by yourself."
Georgia looked around the large laboratory with complete protective facilities, nodded, and said gratefully, "Thank you, teacher."
Master Shang looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said, "Why don't you ask me where I heard it from?"
Georgia was stunned, and a tall figure immediately appeared in her mind. Her face turned slightly red, and she whispered, "Is it from Chu Rong? I know you are his mother's teacher."
"So your generations are actually messed up." Master Shang agreed, making a rare joke, then took him to his own laboratory on the fifth underground floor, took out a space button from the safe and handed it to him, saying, "This is the notebook left by Xiaorong's mother when she was studying under me. You can take a look. It contains the mecha she designed for Xiaorong's father and some weapon modification ideas. Xiaorong's mecha driving was taught by his father, and the father and son have similar attack styles. You can refer to it."
Georgia didn't expect that he would give her this kind of thing. She knew that Chu Rong must have instructed her to do this, otherwise Master Shang would not give away Chu's mother's relics casually. She felt warm in her heart and stretched out her hands to carefully take the space button, saying, "Thank you, I will take a good look at it."
Master Shang nodded with satisfaction when he saw him like this, and then said, "I heard from Xiao Rong that you are very good at making mecha cold weapons. This is an advantage. Weapons are a big plus in the competition. Ronnie was lazy and gave up this item when he participated in the competition last year. You can try to add it."
Speaking of this, Georgia became worried again and said frankly: "Teacher, I have only learned some parts now, and I may not go too far in this competition." He knew his own strength, and this large-scale competition was obviously not prepared for a beginner like him.
Master Shang particularly liked his down-to-earth and non-aggressive character. Hearing this, his expression became even more amiable, and he replied: "I won't ask you to go too far in this competition, just do your best. I asked you to participate mainly because I wanted you to see how other excellent mecha builders build mechas, broaden your thinking and horizons, and feel the atmosphere of the competition. This way, when you can participate in the competition again in your third year, you should be able to get a relatively satisfactory result, so don't feel pressured."
So that's how it is. The teacher has actually already considered his future.
Georgia became more grateful and calmed down. She stopped hesitating and said seriously, "Teacher, I will try my best!"
Master Shang smiled and reached out to touch his head.
Three days later, Xiang Kunqing walked into the classroom with dark circles under his eyes, a very dark face, and a strong smell. He looked much more "lively" than before.
After seeing this, Georgia picked up the communicator with a guilty look on her face - Xiaoyan had made progress this time, with only one bruise on her eye, which was also an improvement. She just hoped that Xiang Kun could be "lively" a little longer this time.
Sangbu also noticed Xiang Kun's purple eyes and frowned, "Aren't you afraid of being punished for fighting in a military academy?"
Georgia looked away, her eyes drifting, and replied: "Maybe it was caused when I was sparring with others in the training hall, not fighting... Well, class is about to start, let's read a book."
Sangbu looked at him suspiciously, and seeing that his ears were stiff from guilty conscience, he narrowed his eyes, stopped dwelling on the question, and lowered his head to open the textbook.
After school on Friday, Georgia returned to the main house alone after learning that Chu Yan had extra training on the weekend. Chu Huai and Gu Yan'an greeted him, asked about his life at school, and had a slightly quiet dinner with him.
Georgia did not receive any communication from Chu Rong that night. According to the time, the other party should have arrived at the empire today and was probably busy.
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, so he simply got up, found a piece of Chu Rong's clothing from the closet and stuffed it into the quilt, pretending that Chu Rong was still there, then leaned against the head of the bed and took out the space button that Master Shang had given him a few days ago.
These days he has been busy adapting to the school rhythm and dealing with various trivial matters, and has not had time to look at the things in this space button. Now is a good time to take a look.
There was no spiritual mark on the space button, so he easily took out the things inside.
There weren't many things, just an old electronic notebook, some manuscripts, a few books, and some tools and materials. They were all well maintained, as if someone was still using them every day.
He touched these tools and book manuscripts one by one, carefully put them into the storage ring, and only kept an electronic book in his hand.
After the electronic book was opened, a long directory popped up. The directory names ranged from material knowledge to mecha design. They were arranged strictly in the learning order of mecha manufacturing. You can read whichever one you want.
It is obvious that this is a carefully organized study note.
He took a deep breath and clicked on the first line of the catalog with a solemn attitude as if he was touching history.
[I don’t know who will open this notebook first, the eldest brother’s partner? Or the second or third brother’s?]
The first line of the notebook was actually a row of words similar to a diary. He was stunned and unconsciously tightened his hand holding the electronic book and read it carefully.
[I gave birth to three children, but none of them look like me. I don't know whether I should cry or beat them up. But they are three children. Even if they don't learn mecha manufacturing, one of their future partners should learn it, or their children? Ah, I'm suddenly looking forward to the day when I become a grandmother. ]
Georgia thought of Chu Huai and Gu Yanan, who had been married for nine years but still had no children, and she suddenly felt depressed and sad.
He heard from Chu Yan that Chu Huai and Gu Yan'an met after the war. Chu Huai was injured at that time, but he didn't want to stay in the hospital. He wanted to take care of Chu Rong, whose mental power was polluted. Gu Yan'an, his attending physician, was very angry. He couldn't stop him. He was also angry at the unpleasant words Chu Huai said after losing control of his emotions. He couldn't help but slapped him hard, and the extremely weak Chu Huai fainted.
That's how the two met. During the most difficult period for the Chu family, it was Gu Yan'an who accompanied Chu Huai through it bit by bit. But because of this, the two of them were afraid to have children.
The child was too fragile and required too much energy to take good care of and raise. At a time when the Chu family could collapse at any time, Chu Rong, whose mental power was polluted, and the young Chu Yan had already exhausted their energy.
Chu Huai had just graduated from the military academy, younger than Xiang Hui now. Chu Rong was only eighteen years old, and had witnessed the death of his parents and relatives. His mental strength was damaged and he almost became a useless person...
Georgia shook her head to pull herself out of her thoughts, which were sinking deeper and deeper. She clenched her fist and pounded her stuffy chest to cheer herself up, then continued to look down.
There are several more lines of diary-like text, all of which express Chu's mother's little expectations for life. At the end, Chu's mother solemnly greeted the person who would receive this notebook in the future, and ended this communication across time with a smile.
Georgia also smiled at the smiley face that was drawn a little too sharply, and it was a long time before she turned to the next page of the electronic book.
Chu's mother's notes are written in the style of Master Shang, concise and easy to understand, without any unnecessary nonsense, which makes people gain a lot.
He could not stop reading until the lights in the room gradually went out as the day dawned. Georgia came back to his senses from his notes, which had already turned to the intermediate parts catalog. He realized belatedly that he had stayed up all night. His body stiffened and he quickly put away the electronic notebook and hid himself under the quilt.
He had only slept for over an hour when he was woken up by Gu Yan'an. He opened his eyes sleepily, forced himself to get out of bed, secretly took a potion to perk up, washed up, and tried to act normal as he went to the restaurant.
Chu Huai and Gu Yan'an have been busy recently, rushing out to do things, and they didn't even notice that Georgia was secretly staying up late and was severely sleep deprived. They left the house after breakfast.
Georgia sent them to the door, then turned to go to Mr. Ren's laboratory and helped him make weapons for a day. Then after dinner, she finally couldn't stand the fatigue rising from her body and rolled herself into the quilt.
In the palace provided by the empire for distinguished guests to stay in, Chu Rong hung up the call that had no one answering, frowned, and called the old butler instead.
After receiving the news, the old housekeeper rushed to the room. After seeing the bulge on the bed, he laughed and shook his head. He went closer and took a picture of Georgia sleeping with the quilt rolled up for Chu Rong to see.
Chu Rong's face suddenly turned dark.
The old butler was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "What happened to the second young master?"
"He stayed up late." Chu Rong answered coldly, his eyes sweeping over the dark circles under Georgia's eyes and the daily clothes he had not changed out of. He wanted to scold him, but couldn't bear to wake him up. After a few seconds of silence, he hung up the phone coldly, pointing his fingers at the back of the chair, his heart full of irritability.
——It was just one day without any communication, but Georgia actually dared to stay up late. This is outrageous!
Fan Xiangnan knocked on the door and got no response. He sighed helplessly, pushed the door open and said, "Sir, the national master is here." So don't be distracted anymore.
Chu Rong came back to his senses, suppressed the irritation on his face, stood up and said, "Lead him to the small living room, then turn on the signal jammer. Is there a tail following him?"
"No, the Imperial Master was very careful and came here disguised as a servant." Fan Xiangnan answered, opened the door for him, and then stepped aside.
The next day, Georgia slept until almost lunchtime as no one called her.
He had just crawled out of bed and was about to wash up when he was held down by the elusive old butler, and a communicator showing a call in progress was extended in front of him.
"woke up?"
Chu Rong's cold voice came from inside.
His confused consciousness immediately came to light, and he stared at the communicator in the old butler's hand with wide eyes.
"Go take a shower first, I'll call you back in half an hour."
The communication was disconnected, and Georgia looked up at the old butler.
The old housekeeper patted his shoulder and sighed, "You didn't answer the call last night, and the second young master was anxious, so he asked me to come and see... Master Georgia, your health is very important, you can't stay up late."
Stay up late?
"Chu Rong knows that I stayed up late?" He was so scared that his ears pricked up and he felt panicky.
The old butler looked at him sympathetically, nodded, and turned away.
He watched the old butler leave, was stunned for a few seconds, then collapsed and hid under the quilt again - it was over, it was over, Chu Rong was going to be angry.
After washing up nervously, he sat in front of a table with brunch and called Chu Rong.
The call was picked up immediately, and Chu Rong's figure sitting on the sofa appeared in the air. The two looked at each other silently for a few seconds. Chu Rong narrowed his eyes and said, "Eat breakfast first, and don't be picky."
Georgia straightened her back unconsciously, reached out and took a bun in her hand. Just as she was about to take a bite, she thought of something and looked up at Chu Rong again and said, "Will you, will you have breakfast with me?"
Chu Rong looked at him with expectant and cautious eyes, and the depression that had been suppressed all night was easily dissipated. He clicked on the communicator, and then the picture in the air disappeared, and Georgia and the table in front of him appeared clearly in front of him. He stood up, picked up a stool and put it next to the projected table, sat down opposite Georgia, and answered with action.
Georgia, who had never used this mode to communicate with others, widened her eyes in shock. She couldn't help but reach out to touch Chu Rong who seemed to be sitting opposite her. Her eyes lit up and she called out, "Chu Rong, you——"
The hand passed through Chu Rong's body, and he lost his balance and almost fell onto the table.
Chu Rong reached out his hand to help him, but found nothing. He paused, then silently withdrew his hand. He suddenly felt that choosing this chat mode was a mistake, and explained, "This is a holographic chat mode. All we see is each other's projection, and we can't touch each other."
Georgia propped herself up with her arms and straightened up. After a careful observation, she found that his figure was indeed abnormally transparent. She slowly sat back down, her expression downcast: "So it was a projection..."
"Let's eat." Chu Rong didn't know how to comfort him because he couldn't make contact. He just relaxed his expression, pointed at the food on the table, and said, "Have a good rest after eating. Don't stay up late again."
"……Um."
Georgia nodded, forced herself to cheer up, picked up the bun again, thought of something, put it down again, dragged the stool to his side, looked sideways at him, moved her ears, and said, "This way we can get closer."
Chu Rong leaned over and put his arm on the back of his chair, pretending to hug him, and nodded: "Well, eat quickly, it will be cold soon."
Georgia quickly moved closer to him, smiled at him happily, leaned over to pick up the bun that she had failed to eat twice, opened her mouth wide and took a bite, then smiled at him foolishly, looking very satisfied.
"Stupid." Chu Rong's eyes softened and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Chu Rong was very free that day, so he patiently accompanied him to have dinner, watched a movie after dinner, and played with the rabbit for a while. He hung up this special call only after dinner when Fan Xiangnan came to him again.
The familiar figure beside him disappeared. Georgia moved and sat in the place where he seemed to have just sat, burying her face in the pillow.
After returning to school, Georgia began busy preparations for the competition. Although Master Shang did not give any requirements for the results of the competition, he still did his homework as thoroughly as possible and even secretly studied the mecha blueprints.
He knew that with his current learning progress, he would not be able to make a real mecha, so he thought of a shortcut - temporarily abandon the traditional mecha manufacturing method and try to make the mecha closer to the magic mechanical system.
He couldn't learn mecha for the time being, but he was very familiar with the dwarves' own things. In the past two days, he flipped through the books his parents left him and finally found a magical mechanical product that was very similar to mecha - magic puppet.
Magic puppets, as the name suggests, are puppets driven by magic. They come in various shapes and sizes. They are anthropomorphic machines that were once designed by the dwarves as weapons, but eventually became toys.
In the past, because he had no magic power, he could only focus on weapon forging and had little contact with magic puppets. In addition, this thing eventually became a toy, and the production method was simplified again and again. By the time he came into contact with it, it had become very ordinary, similar to other mechanical dolls, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, he found that he had found a treasure.
Different from the toy-type magic puppets, the magic puppets that were originally designed as weapons are very similar to the mechas in this world. However, due to their purely mechanical assembly method and power system driven by magic crystals, their movements appear to be very slow and clumsy, like a point-and-shoot machine that cannot be driven or flown, and can only be controlled from the outside by magic power. They have the power brought by magic arrays and magic minerals, but cannot bring it into play to the maximum extent. The cost-effectiveness is too low, and they are gradually abandoned by the tribesmen, and the real production method is also left in a corner gathering dust.
In short, this puppet can only scare people or guard the village gate. Its fighting ability is so poor that it is not as efficient as the dwarves' own hand-to-hand combat. It is completely useless.
Georgia's father was a knowledgeable elf who liked to study new things. After accompanying his wife and children to the dwarf village, he immediately noticed the existence of magic puppets and became very interested in them. He studied them for a while and left behind many books and manuscripts. It was from here that Georgia discovered that the magic puppets were originally designed as weapons.
He felt like he had found a treasure. On the one hand, he regretted that he had not carefully read the things his father gave him because he had no magic power. On the other hand, he was glad that he listened to Master Shang and participated in the competition, which led to his discovery of this.
As he flipped through the pages, he discovered that the magic puppet had given him far more surprises than that.
First of all, the magic puppet was clumsy and slow because its joint connection method was not advanced enough and the dwarves had not invented a high-tech driving system. But here, the joint connection method and advanced driving system were all ready-made. As long as he mastered the production method of the magic puppet's purely mechanical assembly body and figured out some areas that needed improvement, he might be able to make it to the end of this competition and make a unique mecha.
Secondly, the way to make magic puppets is the same as the mechanical production system he learned in elementary school. It is very easy to get started. If he hurry up, a month should be enough for him to learn it.
Last but not least, he discovered the shadow of a purely manually-driven mecha in the magic puppet.
Magic puppets belong to a completely new system, a system that does not rely on mental power at all.
If the magic crystal core, the source of power of the magic puppet, is replaced with a mecha engine, the puppet's joints and driving system are fixed, and then the magic circle sensing method on the magic puppet is applied to humans... then this is almost a real pure manual-driven mecha.
The magic puppet can be controlled by others because all the important joints on its body are engraved with magic circles that can sense the fluctuations of magic power. Others only need to use magic power to gently wave their hands from behind, and the magic puppet will also wave synchronously.
If the principle of sensing of this magic circle is transferred to the human driver, so that when the driver wants to fight back and give physical reaction when attacked, the mecha can immediately sense it and respond synchronously, then wouldn't the attack efficiency be the same as driving the mecha with mental power?
You must know that the reason why purely manually driven mechas always fail and cannot compare to mentally driven mechas is precisely because if the driver of a purely manually driven mecha wants to fight back, there must be a process of reaction and giving operating commands, and this process is the biggest weakness of this driving method!
So the problem that needs to be solved now is how to make the mecha sense and synchronize with the driver's body movements. If successful, the difference between purely manual driving of the mecha and mental driving of the mecha will become the difference between fighting with physical strength and fighting with brain power.
But in this case, a purely manually-driven mecha will inevitably require a high level of physical fitness and ancient martial arts skills from the driver, and some high-end actions that can be performed by mental power may not be possible with a purely manually-driven mecha... Perhaps this can be compensated by improving the performance of the mecha?
But if we want to improve the performance of the mecha... No, no, these are all things that should be considered after the mecha is successfully manufactured. The first thing to consider is how to synchronize the movements of the mecha with the driver's body...
