Chapter 232
Chapter 232
Full quota! ? When everyone heard this, they were stunned. This was something that Shuguang had never seen before.
Even if there were too many places, getting three places was surprising enough, and now you can get the full quota directly! ?
"The full quota is eight. Together with KID's default place, the top eight of Dawn can all participate in this star field competition." Li Jingyan's eyes were gentle. "In the past, the only galaxy that could get a full quota in the first star field was the Aries Galaxy. This time, Dawn is one of them. We must intensify our training after we return and adjust to the best condition for the competition."
Wen Yi heard this and asked in confusion: "Chairman, when will this year's Star Domain Tournament be held? According to the normal schedule, isn't there only half a month left?"
"Not sure, the First Star Region may adjust the time." Li Jingyan said after pondering for a moment: "The Galaxy Tournament has a fixed time every year, and the Star Region Tournament and Star Alliance Tournament may be one year or two years. This Star Alliance mission caused a large number of teams to be lost, and the mecha divisions need time to adjust and recover... The most important thing is that once the new energy issue comes out, the top leaders have more things to consider."
The dates for the Star Domain Tournament and the Star Alliance Tournament are not fixed. The Star Alliance mission accident has caused too many hidden dangers that need to be resolved later. Before these hidden dangers are eliminated, these two major events may be postponed to the second half of the year or even next year. The specific situation will have to wait for the latest notice from the First Star Domain.
"You don't have to worry about that." Li Jingyan knew what the other star regions were thinking. "The Star Region Competition of the First Star Region will probably not be held within a month. During this time, you should take good care of your injuries. The Dawn Alliance will try its best to assist you in adjusting your base regarding mecha maintenance. We can also dispatch maintenance technicians to assist you if you need help."
The Star Alliance mission is over, and there are still extra places to participate in the Star Domain Competition, so there is enough time to adjust.
This is the best news for all mecha masters at this stage.
Li Jingyan was very relieved to see the joy on the faces of these young people. "It's late at night, don't rest too late. I won't disturb you. The starship has slowed down its flight time. Rest well during this time. You can use the resources on the ship as you like."
On the one hand, the consideration of slowing down the flight time is to reduce turbulence to allow the mecha pilots time to recover from their injuries. On the other hand, it is also the result of joint discussions among the heads of several other bases. Those heads know the temperament of their own mecha pilots. If they really return to the Dawn Galaxy quickly, these mecha pilots will devote themselves to training again and will definitely not recover from their injuries.
Let them have a good rest during the voyage.
When Li Jingyan came out of the medical room, he could still vaguely hear the excited discussions inside. He was about to go back to his room to rest. When he passed by the conference room, he found that the lights were bright inside. Director Liu was sitting in the conference room with a haggard face, and there were several staff members running around around him working overtime.
"Director Liu, what's going on—" Li Jingyan asked.
A staff member who happened to come out of the conference room had a bitter look on his face: "The reimbursement forms submitted by the four major bases are piled up with Director Liu. This time the bill is a bit... the consumption of the energy pipe exceeded 80% of Director Liu's advance payment."
Li Jingyan's eyes fell on the conference room. Various data boards and information books were randomly placed on the table. The virtual screen showed the consumption curve. The red numbers were unbearable to look at. "He has worked hard... Let him rest early."
How could the bald Director Liu have time to rest? He had to pay a lot of bills, including the energy borrowed from the Third Star Region. Moreover, there were too many things piled up in the large storage device he lent to KID! None of them are available in the Dawn Galaxy. If the account is not sorted out, where will the money come from to settle the pollutant order...on credit? It would be strange if those poor guys would let him buy on credit.
There will also be bonuses for the 12 mecha divisions. Chairman Li has made a promise that he will repay with his hair.
Li Jingyan met Director Liu's resentful gaze and left at a quickened pace.
-*
After Li Jingyan left, the medical room was bustling for a while until the doctor on duty came in to chase everyone away. Then all the energetic mecha technicians were driven back to their respective wards to rest.
The doctor in charge of Ying Chenlin helped him adjust the input rate of the special medicine and rechecked the problem of the connection between his mechanical arm and flesh. "You have stayed underground for too long this time and were exposed to a highly polluted environment. In the next few days, you need to check your body to see if it has been affected by the pollution. Your condition is the worst. You have the weakest physique among all the mecha masters, so there are more things that need to be checked."
"Thank you." Ying Chenlin said.
Doctor: "Don't be polite to me about this. It's just your mental power problem... Your doctor will tell you about it after we return to Sirius. Your condition in this examination is very special. I have never seen such mental power fluctuations."
Ying Chenlin was stunned, and said cautiously: "Is it bad?"
"We can't judge this. We can only say that the speed of mental recovery and stress resistance are beyond expectations. This is a good thing for you mecha masters, but because it is extremely rare in medical history, we can't judge whether this recovery is benign or not." The doctor checked Ying Chenlin's arm and said, "Your mechanical arm is made of good materials and has a strong resistance to pollution. Rest first, kid. You shouldn't be tired now."
The doctor left after he finished speaking, but Ying Chenlin couldn't calm down.
Jijia Yuan was not around, as he had been taken away by Shen Xingtang for emergency repairs. He looked at the slightly empty table next to him, his mind was silent, and there was no one to talk to.
The ward was very quiet. The voices of other mecha operators were blocked out, and even the sound of medical equipment running was very faint. Ying Chenlin moved his robotic arm, and there was no soreness when he moved... He did not feel any fatigue in his arm.
Ying Chenlin lay on the hospital bed for more than an hour, and only fell asleep when the automatic infusion machine stopped.
Ying Chenlin spent the next two days in a half-asleep and half-awake state. On the fifth day, the slow starship had entered the range of the first star field. The mecha technicians who had been trapped in the ward for several days finally got permission from the doctor to go out, and the bustle spread from the ward to other places.
Ying Chenlin caught a cold after his mental strength recovered. The doctor said it was due to staying in a cold place for too long and it was a normal reaction in the body's recovery process. Once the body fully recovered, there would be no symptoms and no medication would be needed.
With a slight cough and low fever, Ying Chenlin's voice was a little weaker than usual, and he wore thicker clothes than others when leaving the ward.
The mecha masters were so bored on the starship that they were getting anxious. Some rumors had already spread. The First Star Region has always had a tradition of rewarding the top three mecha teams in Star Alliance missions. In addition, the Dawn Galaxy also gave out money. KID's attention was already on how much the two bonuses would be in total this time, and whether it would be enough to buy a few S-level energy crystals.
KID's financial officer Jiang Simiao returned to KID's lounge with the sorted revenue information. The mecha masters inside were chatting. Hearing that they were already planning how to spend the money before they even got it, Jiang Simiao's eyebrows couldn't help but jump, "According to your calculation method, no matter how much money you make, it won't be enough for you to lose!"
Ji Qingfeng: "If people don't have the idea of spending money, how can they have the motivation to make money!"
The others nodded.
Jiang Simiao: "...Chairman Li should invite you to give a speech!"
Complaining all the same, Jiang Simiao still placed the things he had worked so hard to sort out in front of the group of spendthrifts. He coughed and said, "This time, the mecha repairs and energy management were all reimbursed by the Dawn Alliance. The bill has been sent in. Director Liu said that the money will be allocated in a few days. Basically, we have no consumption in this area. I spent some time to count the pollutant materials accumulated in all your storage devices. I have to say, you are really good at picking out pollutants."
KID killed a lot of A-level pollutants in the early stage of this Star Alliance mission. These pollutants were all native pollutants of Slarede. The materials and energy crystals were rare in the First Star Domain. Since this batch of materials was jointly cleared by four bases and distributed according to the number of people and labor, KID got the largest share at the joint distribution meeting of the four major bases. In addition, the other three bases were not short of money, and they did not need some of the marginal pollutant materials, so they all went to KID.
"I have sent the information about these materials to Xiaotian. I will work overtime to sell them when I get back." Jiang Simiao calculated the money, "This money is enough for you to maintain your equipment for several games in the future, as well as the research funds for S-class weapons!"
These things are not that expensive, but they are expensive because the planet Slared is destroyed!
Some indigenous pollutants are basically extinct, and the research value and market value of some materials will skyrocket. In addition to the few orders promised for research in the Dawn Galaxy, a large number of customers and manufacturers have contacted them about acquisition cooperation for other materials before they even put them on the online store. ^o^
"Sister Tang's idea is to keep a portion for us to use, and keep a little more to see if it can appreciate in value, and then sell it after a few years." Jiang Simiao read and calculated while holding the data tablet, "Except for the two portions left, the rest will be used to exchange for cash to upgrade your equipment and give you bonuses!"
The KID mecha technicians didn't pay much attention to what was said before, but when they heard about upgrading equipment and giving out bonuses, they all cheered.
Jiang Simiao couldn't help laughing when he heard their cheers, and coughed twice in succession, "Okay, let's get on with the story!"
"The next thing is about the few S-level pollutants you killed. We contributed less to the energy crystals of the blizzard giant bird, so they belong to Black Crow. As for the light-colored butterflies that Luxi and Ke Lin killed together, we have parasitic flowers to interfere with them, so they belong to YDS."
Jiang Simiao placed a list of S-level supernatural crystals in front of everyone. "The supernatural crystals of Shadow Fox are ours, and the Explosive Hair Monster killed by Dafeng is also ours. Because the Explosive Hair Monster and the Parasitic Flower that blocked the signal also had contributions from other bases, we distributed some of the special materials to other bases. We and Jifeng each got one of the supernatural crystals of the two Ice Crows obtained by Yousu underground... Oh, yes, the rest is the shield-piercing black shadow killed by Chen Lin alone, which is also on our side."
“Some pollutants that are not mentioned are not ours.”
After counting the S-level pollutants killed, KID finally got the Shadow Fox, Ice Crow, Explosive Hair Monster, Parasitic Flower and Black Shadow. The other scattered S-level pollutants encountered on the road and the S-level pollutants that appeared in the missions were all assigned to other bases. The blue heart's supernatural crystal is very special and was finally handed over to the Dawn Galaxy for processing and was not theirs to discuss.
"Ah, this way we can get a lot of S-level pollutants." Ji Qingfeng asked: "Won't other bases compete for it?"
"They all have the corresponding energy crystals in their bases, so they don't have much demand for this stuff." Jiang Simiao said, "And who said they won't fight for it? Have you forgotten the large amount of special pollutants you brought into the underground ice tomb? They are all fighting for this."
In addition to the pollutants killed by KID during the mission, the rest are special pollutants found in the ice tomb.
This batch of pollutants is the most important round in this distribution.
"Do you know where these pollutants come from?" Jiang Simiao swiped the data on the data board to another page. "Slarede was in turmoil ten years ago. Many of the pollutants in these underground ice tombs entered Slarede during that period. I don't know what means Kronos used to freeze them, but our accidental discovery is equivalent to obtaining a batch of potential S-level and A-level border resources."
Ying Chenlin heard this and asked, "Can those materials and energy crystals be used?"
Jiang Simiao: "The materials are usable. After inspection, they can be used as forging materials for our S-class weapons and S-class embryo mechas. Xingtang means to use these resources to upgrade you to A-class mechas."
S-class embryo mecha... KID, except Ying Chenlin and You Su, who have S-class mechas, the mechas used by others are A-class mechas that are a mix of A-class and S-class materials. To become an S-class embryo mecha, all the A-class materials in other people's mechas must be replaced with S-class materials and replaced with an S-class embryo mecha. Once such a replacement is completed, it means that their mechas will become embryos that can be upgraded to S-class mechas.
KID had been exchanging S-level materials one after another, but
The materials shot down may not be applicable, so they are basically purchased from outside.
The difference between an S-class embryo mecha and an S-class mecha lies in intelligence.
Mecha intelligence requires the ultimate mecha resonance to be produced, and in fact it still relies on the strength of the mecha master himself. If this batch of ice tomb resources can be invested in the upgrade of mecha embryos, then the combat readiness gap between KID and other strong teams in the Star Alliance will be greatly narrowed.
"Fuck!" Ji Qingfeng: "I really believe we've made a fortune this time."
"You almost lost your lives, how can you not make a fortune?" Jiang Simiao glanced at Ji Qingfeng, and the burden in his heart was indeed relieved a lot. The gap between Dawn and other star systems was too big, and KID had the least resources among the four bases of Dawn.
If resources and combat readiness cannot keep up, the hardware cannot keep up with the strong teams. Even if the combat awareness of the mecha division can keep up, they cannot win due to the large gap in hardware.
The inclusion of a large amount of special resources this time is equivalent to bringing KID an opportunity to replace their combat readiness resources. The research funds for S-class weapons are sufficient, and S-class embryo mechas can also be arranged... For KID, this is the gain from completing a Star Alliance mission. As long as they are given enough time, their combat readiness can make a qualitative leap before the Star Alliance game.
"Where are the energy crystals?" Huo Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Is there no way to deal with these?"
"The energy crystals are difficult to detect. The pollutants recorded in the Star Alliance can be identified through the [Quest] agency for energy identification. After returning to Sirius, we will send the processed energy crystals for testing and processing."
Jiang Simiao said, "But we still have to be prepared, because most of these energy crystals come from the border, and there are relatively few records of pollutants at the border. There will be many energy crystals that cannot be found to have energy effects... The Quest Agency does not have special equipment like the Stars to check the effects of energy crystals. We can only put the energy crystals that cannot be checked in KID's warehouse for now."
It is true that supernatural crystals are not easier to detect than materials. The supernatural crystal that Ying Chenlin got in Banute was only tested after he had the opportunity to go to the Xingxiu Club. The admission ticket to the Xingxiu Club is rare and not open all the time. This batch of supernatural crystals can only be sold to research institutions at a low price, or put aside and tested next time there is an opportunity.
"It's okay. This harvest is already very good for us." Ji Qingfeng thought optimistically, "But with so many materials, will our warehouse be big enough to store them?"
Ying Chenlin made his judgment and said, "Not enough space..."
Others: “…”
They were so busy picking up the items that they forgot that their base was just a small basement underground.
The KID base is so small that half of the underground parking area can be converted into a maintenance room, and there is only a tiny space for the warehouse.
They couldn't afford large storage devices, so they had to borrow two sets of equipment from the Dawn Alliance... The base was so small that they couldn't use them. If it’s not enough, then we can only find a warehouse outside, or pack up and sell some unused materials! ?
"However, can we renew the lease with Shuguang?" Lu Xi asked, "We can just rent their storage equipment."
Lin Yao nodded: "Yes, we will pay the rent and return it to them after we sell our things."
"Large storage equipment is very expensive." Huo Yan said: "Even if Shuguang rents it, we will probably have to pay a large sum of money."
When everyone was thinking about how to store the spoils, Jiang Simiao said, "Are you underestimating your boss?"
Suddenly, Jiang Simiao took out another data tablet. When the page of the data tablet was opened, a wide canyon was visible. A small group of buildings were gathered around the canyon. A faint blue light was floating above the buildings. It was the outermost building defense system.
The scale of the building complex is first seen, and the suburban scenery is in full view.
Ying Chenlin's expression froze for a moment, and he couldn't move his eyes away, staring closely at the short video footage.
He remembered this place, an uninhabited area in the suburbs of Sirius, which was rented by Shen Xingtang in his previous life and converted into a KID base. It was also the location of the KID mecha base later.
"I know this place! It's the Grand Canyon next to it. I've been there to set off fireworks!" Lin Yao's eyes lit up.
Huo Yan paused: "I remember this place is a suburban research warehouse of a part of Sirius's mechanical industry, right?"
Sirius is a residential planet, and citizens live in the central area with prosperous business, but there are many non-prosperous suburban areas on Sirius that are not suitable for citizens to live in. These areas have always been used by major manufacturers to build research sites or large factories. The place in the image is one of several research warehouse buildings for rent in the suburbs closest to the city.
"When you were playing in the Galaxy Tournament, Xingtang had been considering changing the base. When the previous management of KID ran away, we were so short of money that we had to rent out the building and sell the mecha field." Jiang Simiao has always admired Shen Xingtang's ability to handle things. He was able to carefully operate a base that was about to go bankrupt until now, keeping the mecha equipment and funds running, and planning for the future of the base. Shen Xingtang has been holding on until now.
"Land in the suburbs is not expensive, and there are some unrented buildings there." Jiang Simiao said, "Xingtang had been planning this before, but the money she earned was only enough for renting, so she didn't tell you about it. When she was out some time ago, she was also busy with the renovation of the new base."
The mecha masters were stunned. The new base was being renovated! ?
They have a new base! ?
"She made a lot of money this time, plus the mission bonuses from the First Star Region and the Dawn Galaxy, so she bought this place." Jiang Simiao smiled and said, "In half a month or so, we will be able to move to the new base. This place is big enough to store all the material warehouses!"
"Damn it!" Ji Qingfeng said, "Sister Tang is so good at hiding things! She actually set up a new base without telling us!"
Lin Yao: "Then my room is a lot bigger!"
Jiang Simiao said: "Of course it is one circle bigger, two or three circles bigger is no problem, she left a large room for you."
The emotions of KID's mecha pilots instantly rose. Jiang Simiao's data tablet had been snatched away by them. Several people gathered together to look at the situation of the new base. Behind the data tablet was the decoration progress of the new base, which was more than ten times larger than the original base.
"You can look at it all you want! But don't damage my data board, there's still a lot of information in it!" Jiang Simiao saw their increasingly intense movements and couldn't help but join in the fight to grab the data board, "Lin Yao! You have strong hands! Don't mess with it!"
While others were discussing the new base enthusiastically, Ying Chenlin sat cross-legged by the window in the lounge, watching the group of people scrambling for the data slate, but had no intention of joining in.
You Su's gaze fell on Ying Chenlin, who did not crowd with the others to see the situation of the new base. In the past, this kind of thing had always been Ying Chenlin's greatest interest.
"Don't want to go and see?" You Su suddenly asked.
Ying Chenlin paused, and found that You Su had come to his side without him noticing, "Let them watch first."
He had lived in that place for a long time in his previous life, but it was a strange place for others.
You Su didn't say anything.
Ying Chenlin has been with You Su for a long time and knows that the person in front of him always speaks in this way. If he is interested, he will ask a few questions and then stop talking after asking. When asked by You Su, he couldn't help but look at You Su, who was sitting next to him. There were obvious signs of bandage on his neck, which went into the collar and turned to the left, tightly wrapping his entire left shoulder.
There was a very obvious scar there, and Ying Chenlin knew the location of the scar.
The two men were very close to each other, and You Su's mental power never converged. The closer they were, the more their mental powers intersected. Mingming was very familiar with You Su's mental power, but for some reason, when he felt the other's mental power, the only thing that came to his mind was the other's increasingly strong mental power in the narrow cockpit.
Ying Chenlin unconsciously moved a little to the side. After a while, the person on the side adjusted his movements, and the distance that had been moved away seemed to be shortened again.
He coughed twice and suddenly felt a little hot, as if his low-grade fever had come back.
"You haven't recovered from your cold yet?" You Su paused.
Can't a minor cold usually be cured by lying in the medical cabin for a few minutes?
Ying Chenlin shook his head: "No... the doctor said it will be fine once the body gets used to it."
The boy was wearing thicker clothes. While others were walking around in short-sleeved shirts, he was still wearing KID's team jacket. The T-shirt he wore underneath was something he got from Lin Yao at a discount. He kept changing those few pieces of clothes in the base, and it seemed like he never bothered to buy other clothes or shoes.
You Su looked at the other person, and the browsing page on his computer switched from an online shopping site to a large shopping page. His eyes fell on several sets of clothes. After selecting the styles, he saw the shrinkage and fit size required for the pants at the back, and his fingers suddenly stopped moving.
Theo, who was hanging on You Su's neck, was looking at the auction items with great interest when he was suddenly interrupted. Looking at his owner's continuous operations, he asked, "Ah? You Su, you're buying new clothes! Choose the second to last size!"
"You made the wrong choice!" said Theo. 〓
You Su ignored Theo and glanced at Ying Chenlin, "You made the right choice."
Thin waist, not much flesh, smallest universal size.
The author has something to say:
Here we come! There will be more updates later.
This book has been serialized for too long, and some details need to be corrected due to memory errors during the typing process. In addition, there are too many contents in my several versions of the outline, QAQ, and I always get the outline information wrong when writing.
The article will probably be continuously revised in the next few days (correcting typos and minor bugs), and you may see revision reminders frequently!
These two days are transition chapters, writing about daily life and mecha weapons, finishing up Slared's affairs, and then entering the star domain competition.
See you tonight~
