Chapter 285
Chapter 285
Ying Chenlin had never met Master Xiong, he had only heard of his name.
This weapon designer would be very famous in the future, and he was one of the best designers in the First Star Domain. When Ying Chenlin designed weapons for KID in the future, he had read several of his papers... He was sure that he had no connection with Master Xiong, and this unknown invitation letter would not be handed to him no matter who it was sent to.
Seeing Ying Chenlin's hesitation, Master Xiong was not surprised. He smiled and said, "This is an invitation letter from the Mecha Weapon Design Association. There will be a mecha weapon seminar in the First Star Region in half a month. I am here to deliver this invitation letter at the request of Mr. Mervyn, the vice chairman of the Mecha Weapon Design Association."
Master Xiong said, "If you are interested, you can come and have a look in half a month."
After he finished speaking, he saw that more people were watching nearby, so he said, "I won't waste your time. I'll handle this. You guys go ahead."
The staff of the interview team hurried over to explain the situation. Master Xiong came here to help the You team solve the weapon problem, but he was caught off guard by the live camera of the interview. The Star Network was full of discussions among the audience. People who have watched many mecha leagues will be familiar with weapon designers. The weapons that shine in the mecha league are all designed by famous masters. Weapon designers with excellent works are also the objects of idolization for mecha enthusiasts.
The most famous person in the First Star Domain is Master Xiong. Now seeing Master Xiong appearing backstage in KID’s interview room, netizens can’t help but become curious.
[Is this the KID interview room? How did Master Xiong come to Kid's side? 】
[KID asked Master Xiong to design weapons? Was the KID weapon designed by Master Xiong? 】
[How is this possible? Our small team just got out of poverty this year. How can we afford to hire Master Xiong to design weapons? 】
[Our small team has a designer!] 】
[Stop talking, I just saw in the backstage waiting area, our KID seemed to be trying to take the Dawn spacecraft back home. 】
KID and the others really didn't have time to chat with Master Xiong for a while. They came to the Aries Galaxy to participate in the competition and had their own starship, but the berthing fees in Asta were extremely expensive. As it was the first time for KID to travel by spaceship on his own, he felt sorry for the berthing fees and parked the spaceship at other berthing points in the Aries Galaxy. They didn't have to catch the flight, but just wanted to take the spaceship of the leaders of the Dawn Galaxy back to the capital of the Aries Galaxy, so they were almost in time to catch the flight.
Jiang Simiao came out of Asta and could not help but repeatedly said, "Behave yourself on the Dawn spaceship. Chairman Li is going to host a celebration banquet tonight. The place has been reserved and the chef has been called. The Dawn mecha technicians are all here. Everyone should leave a good impression for the leaders."
The Shuguang staff urged: "Hurry up, we are waiting for you."
KID and his group had no choice but to run outside, running as fast as they could.
Ji Qingfeng originally wanted to push Ying Chenlin to run faster, but before his hands touched the wheelchair, You Su pushed him away.
Shen Xingtang and Jiang Simiao fell behind, talking to each other as they ran, "Why is Master Xiong over there?"
"He came to me on his own initiative. I wanted to stop him, but he said he wanted to see Chen Lin." When Shen Xingtang saw Master Xiong, she thought it was something else, but she found out that he came prepared and gave her such an important gift. She was not a weapon designer, but a repairman also had connections with the weapon design industry. She knew how high the status of the invitation letter sent by Master Xiong was in the industry, so she couldn't refuse it on behalf of Chen Lin.
She thought of Ying Chenlin's behavior in the maintenance area, "Some things may not be kept secret any longer."
While KID was busy catching the boat back to the capital star, there was a heated discussion on the star internet because Master Xiong appeared backstage at an interview.
The live broadcast room was attracted by the appearance of Master Xiong. KID is now the champion of the Star Domain Tournament. In other words, they went to the Star Alliance Tournament as the number one in the star domain. It is not surprising that the number one weapon designers in the star domain would take a fancy to KID.
Ordinary designers do try to gain fame by submitting their designs under the name of a championship team, but a designer of Master Xiong's status does not need to rush over to design weapons for KID. It is a bit subtle that this happened to happen during the interview.
As the new champion, anything related to KID will become a hot topic, among which KID’s arsenal attracts much attention.
KID’s poverty was obvious to all, but some of KID’s weapons attracted considerable attention in the competition in the First Star Domain.
In addition to Master Xiong's appearance in the backstage of the interview room, the mecha designer 'yuan', who continuously helped alleviate poverty in the early development of KID, also became the focus of attention.
For example, qingf's illusion ball, sink's deep water ball and many other new and old weapons, each design is novel and particularly suitable for KID mecha division... At present, the only exception is the shield weapon of the tank mecha of the Dawn Wind Team. The design drafts of other weapons are all in KID.
Netizens of the First Star Domain discovered that most of the weapons in the KID arsenal were designed by a designer named Yuan. It was not known who this designer was until they checked. It was discovered that he was the same person as Yuan, who initially triggered the reform of parts in the First Star Domain.
This designer named Yuan has never appeared in public. All the mecha parts he designed were only sold through KID's online store. He was once believed to be an internal staff of KID, but many netizens have done archaeological research and checked multiple internal employees of KID, but have not been able to find anyone who overlaps with Yuan.
The only possible target is KID's maintenance engineer named Gu, but the parts and other equipment designed by Gu have their own identification numbers, which are inconsistent with Yuan. He himself has publicly denied Yuan's identity, so KID has hidden Yuan very deeply, and no clues have been found until now.
[Isn’t he Mr. Gu?] 】
[Yuan appeared earlier than Gu Lao entered KID, okay! 】
[Could it be Boss Shen himself?] I feel that Boss Shen is also very mysterious. 】
【Isn’t the word yuan similar to the phonetic grammar of the Huaxia people? Yuan has the same pronunciation as the "jijiayuan" in sink. 】
KID's fans looked at this group of new fans who started to uncover their identities one after another, and they felt a mixed feeling as if they were experienced people who were indifferent to the situation.
Mr. Gu? In terms of seniority, that may be true, but since they have their own identification code, it is definitely not true. Boss Shen is indeed a possibility, but the way Boss Shen behaved and spoke to the outside world when he opened and operated the online store clearly showed that he was introducing Yuan as a bystander.
They had guessed all these... As for sink, they also suspected the Chinese pinyin association method of sink and mecha yuan. There might be many homophones for yuan. Maybe the letters were randomly typed by the designer, or maybe they were letters homophonic with the designer's own name.
Besides, Sink is only 20 years old. He played in the Mecha League as a teenager, joined KID as an adult, and is now KID's medical mecha technician. How can he have the time to work so many part-time jobs?
How could it be a sink? He only entered KID as a maintenance technician... not a weapons designer. 】
Weapon design is a profession that requires so much experience and knowledge that it is not something that a mere maintenance technician can easily accomplish. There are very few maintenance technicians in the Mecha Alliance, and even fewer weapon designers among the maintenance technicians.
Dawn fans saw that the new fans were almost unearthing Yuan's claims and found them more and more outrageous, but it was indeed possible that Master Xiong had contacted KID. It seemed that the Weapon Design Association's seminar was about to be held, and Master Xiong might have sent the invitation to Yuan through KID. After all, the only way to contact Yuan at present was through KID. ▓
[It's so funny. Why would he go to a small place like KID if he has the talent for weapon design? If he designs weapons with spare parts, he would be worshipped in any mecha base. 】
[Hot knowledge: Sink originally went to KID as an apprentice for 8,000 star coins, and had a junior maintenance technician certificate. 】
[It’s outrageous enough that you can hire a single-soldier king who is also a maintenance engineer for 8,000 star coins, but he can also teach weapon design? ? 】
[Don't mention it. I even went to the Star Alliance Weapons Registration Association to check the sink's information. I could find it when registering as a repairman, but I couldn't find any information about weapon design. 】
The discussion about KID on the Star Network is getting more and more heated, and the Dawn Mecha Masters are busy attending the celebration banquet.
The celebration banquet for the Dawn Galaxy was held on the Dawn spacecraft. It happened that the mecha divisions of the eight major squadrons were all there. Chairman Li took into consideration that the mecha divisions would have limited time after returning to Dawn, so he arranged for the celebration banquet to be held on the spacecraft. KID originally wanted to go and try the delicacies of the various galaxies in the First Star Domain, but the Dawn Celebration Banquet was arranged for them first, saving them a lot of money.
"There are not many people as considerate as Chairman Li." Ji Qingfeng said with emotion.
Lin Yao was only focused on eating. He had been taking nutritional supplements for several days in the polluted area. When someone treated him to a meal, he had to eat his fill. He did not even have time to respond to Ji Qingfeng's words and could only nod in agreement.
Luxi carried the plate with food and skillfully handed Lin Yao some water.
Shen Xingtang and Jiang Simiao were discussing cooperation with the Shuguang leaders, while Huo Yan had a good chat with the captains of other teams.
A group of mecha masters were having a great time on the spaceship, completely unaware of the discussions on the star network.
Zhao Lejie stuffed a large piece of meat in one mouthful, and looking at KID's gluttonous behavior, he said contemptuously: "Is it really that serious? It's like a starving ghost reincarnated, really."
Qi Sicheng glanced at him and said, "Wipe your mouth."
Zhao Lejie wiped the sauce off the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He saw Qi Sicheng reading information on Starnet. He vaguely seemed to be talking about KID's designer. "Why are you looking at this?"
After Qi Sicheng turned off the news, his peripheral vision fell on a corner of the bustling banquet hall. A boy in a wheelchair was holding a glass of juice, looking down at a gilded card, and said simply, "I just happened to see it."
Ying Chenlin didn't hear anything else and didn't know that he had become the focus of other people's attention.
Away from the bustle of the banquet, his attention fell on the invitation in his hand. He held a glass of juice in one hand and flipped through the gilded card in the other.
He was very surprised to receive such an invitation, and he was a little impatient.
Weapon design is a skill he studied when he was a maintenance technician in his previous life. He was born as a mecha technician, and after he got involved in mecha maintenance, he was unable to enter the arena, so he became obsessed with realizing his own conjectures of design through forging... Therefore, he designed many kinds of weapons for KID's mecha technicians in his previous life.
At present, the design of some of his weapons is based on the design drafts of his previous life. He redesigned them to suit KID's current mecha division. In addition, KID's combat readiness is urgent, so he accelerated the speed of completing the draft.
However, there are still many shortcomings in his designs. Many of them are due to inertial thinking. The parts technology and forging technology in this life have not reached the level of his later life. He does not think that his designs are outstanding... He just didn't expect to receive an invitation from the Weapon Design Association at this time.
In this Star Domain Tournament, he had seen too many weapons with novel designs, and was fully aware of the differences between KID's combat readiness and that of other teams, as well as the incompleteness of their weapon designs. It was a pleasant surprise for him to receive the invitation at this time.
Weapon designers do not aspire to weapons workshops.
The weapons seminar brings together the top designers in the Star Alliance. Being able to attend such an occasion will be a great help to him at this stage.
The surface of the invitation letter is covered with gold-plated words, and the card is completely sealed. Some special words can be seen. It is somewhat similar to the admission ticket of the Star Club, and it also requires the input of the invitation letter bound to the identity verification.
Ying Chenlin quickly found the entrance to biometric information verification, but after verifying the information, he immediately stopped operating.
On the other side of the banquet, You Su walked around the banquet and served food to Ying Chenlin who had difficulty moving.
There were some honey-based sweets on the plate. When You Su came back with the food, he saw Ying Chenlin with a gloomy face. He had put the juice aside and was anxiously swiping through the pages on his computer, as if something big had happened.
You Su frowned and put down the tray in his hand: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Ying Chenlin looking at him for help.
You Su realized that something big might have happened, so he walked forward to look at Ying Chenlin's computer page, and saw pop-up questions such as 'Weapon Designer Certificate Review Time', 'Weapon Designer Assessment Content', 'Weapon Designer Assessment Node', etc., and suddenly stopped moving.
"The invitation letter needs to be entered with the Weapon Design Association's certificate, which requires a Senior Weapon Designer Certificate." Ying Chenlin explained seriously, "I checked, there are three levels of certificates for weapon designers. The three levels, plus the examination, review and certification, will take at least 15 working days to complete the whole process."
You Su was silent for a while, then asked: "You don't have any certificate?"
Ying Chenlin looked a little flustered: "No... The alliance review did not require me to fill in the senior designer certificate number. I only have the initial registration number, and the certificate seems to be entry-level."
You Su: “…”
Shen Xingtang had just talked with Director Liu of the Dawn Resources Bureau. They were in such a hurry to prepare for the Star Domain Tournament that they almost forgot that they had not yet gone to the Dawn Resources Library to pick up the two S-level supernatural crystals as rewards for the Dawn Galaxy Tournament champion. It was just on their way back to the Dawn Galaxy this time, so they could just go to the Dawn Special Research Institute to pick up the supernatural crystals before going home.
She saw You Su and Ying Chenlin in the same place and was about to tell them the news.
But as soon as she got closer, she heard the two people talking in an urgent tone, as if something had happened.
"Where is the test center? Which is the nearest test center?"
"It's a test site on Mingguang Star, but the audit site is far away."
"What about other test sites?"
“Not open on weekends.”
Shen Xingtang: "What are you talking about?"
You Su and Ying Chenlin looked at Shen Xingtang.
Shen Xingtang had never seen the two of them look so nervous before. "What happened?"
Director Liu from Shuguang led the head of the Propaganda Department over, intending to promote KID as a champion. Seeing Shen Xingtang passing by, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Boss Shen, this is the person from the Propaganda Department..."
"I'm sorry, Director Liu, something urgent happened and we have to rush back to Shuguang immediately." Shen Xingtang looked apologetic.
Director Liu was about to say something else when he turned around and saw the KID mecha technicians who were originally eating and drinking at the banquet were now in a hurry. Some were holding plates, some were busy looking for take-away boxes, and some were already anxiously contacting the spacecraft and had not even had time to eat the food on the field.
Lin Yao had something in his mouth: "Pack...box."
Ji Qingfeng found a square box and said, "There is no packing box, so use this to pack it."
Jiang Simiao looked at the time and urged: "Hurry up, it's too late to buy a boat ticket yourself."
Director Liu looked at the scene in astonishment: "...What is this? Is there something wrong with our celebration banquet?"
"No, we are busy going back—"
After Shen Xingtang finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Director Liu, are you familiar with the Mecha Weapon Design Association?"
Director Liu: “?”
Shen Xingtang said sincerely, "It's like this, the kids in the team are in a hurry to go back for the exam, and they may be a little pressed for time... Can you help?"
-*
A rotating energy crystal is placed on a special suspension platform. Countless energy pipelines are connected to the transparent and invisible barrier of the suspension platform. The rotating energy is converging along the energy pipelines to a special observation platform. Several researchers in research clothes are standing at the data monitoring point next to the experimental device, exporting the residual energy monitoring records in the energy crystal one by one.
This is the Dawn Galaxy Special Research Institute, the Slared contaminated area "Blue Heart" and the Kronos Research Dawn Galaxy Group.
This group gathers talents from all major star fields and all the frontline technologies in the Star Alliance to analyze clues to traces of Kronos’ residual energy.
Inside the institute, the director of the Shuguang Special Research Institute was chatting happily with Mr. Qiu. As they walked out, they talked, "We are grateful for Mr. Qiu's help in obtaining the relevant materials this time."
"It's just a small favor. I'll leave the analysis of Kronos to you." Old Qiu walked slowly with his crutches. "This time, Lieutenant General Lin and Commander Wei have entrusted us with this. The issue of Kronos must be resolved first."
"That's as it should be." The director said, "We will do our best to assist the Star Alliance Research Institute."
Mr. Qiu was chatting with the director of the institute when he suddenly saw a researcher walking slowly in front of him.
The researcher ended the meeting and walked out hurriedly.
The man's pace was a little slower than the people around him, and a news report page about [KID won the Star Domain Tournament] was appearing on the light computer in his hand. He read it very carefully. After browsing the text information on the page, he flipped through the multiple video clips to [sink]'s personal screen and zoomed in on the boy's face with a light touch of his finger.
The man's gaze stayed on the sink's eyes. After looking for a long time, he closed the page. There were several pages stacked below the page that had not been closed. There was a sink in the information point of each page.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
The man raised his head slightly, and seeing the slightly older man, he politely said, "Mr. Qiu."
Mr. Qiu's eyes stopped at the screen on his computer, which he had not yet concealed, and he smiled and said, "Are you also a fan of KID?"
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, "I guess so."
It was rare for Mr. Qiu to meet someone who also watched the Mecha League in the research institute. He was not in a hurry to leave, but instead pulled him aside to chat about the Star Domain Tournament.
The man did not leave. He listened to Mr. Qiu talking about the KID Star Domain Competition. He chatted with Mr. Qiu seriously for a while.
"I haven't seen you before." Mr. Qiu asked, "What's your name?"
"I'm from the Fifth Star Region Research Institute, and I wasn't in the Kronos Investigation Team before."
The man said, "My name is Shi Qingning."
When Master Qiu heard the teacher's surname, he paused. The man did not look like an ancient Chinese. He looked a bit like someone from the Fifth Star Region. His hair was light gray, not black. He hesitated and asked, "Surname Master? Qiluo Xingmai's surname?"
Shi Qingning was surprised to hear this, "In terms of tracing back to my ancestors, it is indeed the Shi family of the Qiluo Xingmai ancient Chinese tribe. My adoptive father is an ancient Chinese."
"I see." Seeing this, Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "I misunderstood."
The two talked for a while, and then Qiu's student came to him with an urgent matter, so Qiu said goodbye to Shi Qingning and the director of the institute and went to deal with other things.
The director of the institute saw Mr. Qiu walking away, and said with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Mr. Qiu has often come to our Sugon in the past two years, and he has helped our project team with many things."
Shi Qingning: “The old man is very easy to communicate with.”
Of course it would be easy to communicate. Mr. Qiu has been obsessed with the Mecha League in the past two years. Their research has nothing to do with the Mecha League, and I have never heard that Mr. Qiu likes to watch these things before, but in the past two years he has often seen Mr. Qiu watching mecha competitions. He seems to have rejuvenated and pays attention to the affairs of young people.
The director of the institute had a good impression of Shi Qingning. Researchers from the alien domain were somewhat arrogant, but Shi Qingning was humble and polite. He was recently sent by the Fifth Star Domain Research Group to assist in the Kronos project, and he helped them a lot after coming here.
He is a talented person in his thirties, highly regarded in the Fifth Star Domain, with great achievements. He majored in pollutant research. It is said that he is self-taught, has a clean background, and is not involved in the competition among various factions. He is a key talent to be trained by the Fifth Star Domain Research Institute.
The director of the institute was afraid that Shi Qingning might have misunderstood, so he explained: "The old man asked too many questions, and I didn't mean to offend you. The surname Shi is a rare surname, and his students also have the surname Shi."
Shi Qingning paused: "Mr. Qiu's student?"
The story of Mr. Qiu is no secret either. Those who died at the base station in the contaminated area of Kolya have all been awarded additional merits. ┆
When the director of the institute was young, he also had exchanges with the young researcher. "Like you, she also majored in pollutant research. She was one of Mr. Qiu's favorite students. He still often praises her in front of us. She is called Shi Xuejun. She is a very outstanding person."
"Master Xuejun?"
Shi Qingning: "Is it Xue Shan Xue, Gentleman Jun?"
The director of the institute paused when he heard this: "Do you know him?"
Shi Qingning's tone became more anxious: "So she is in the Shuguang Research Institute? Is she Mr. Qiu's student?"
Seeing his expression, the director of the institute cautiously did not respond.
Shi Qingning was startled, and fearing that the director of the institute might misunderstand him, he explained earnestly: "I have seen the papers published under her personal name, but the traceability can only be traced back to more than 20 years ago. I don't know what confidential projects she is involved in now, or where she is working."
"I see." The director of the institute recalled that Shi Xuejun joined Mr. Qiu's research group and then went to Coria's research group. There was indeed no news about her on the Star Network in recent years. He said, "She was Mr. Qiu's student, but she died of illness many years ago."
The author has something to say:
I'm having a bit of a writer's block in the daily transition chapter. I'll sort out the foreshadowing and write an extra chapter for you tomorrow!
I saw a lot of nutrient solutions today QAQ.
It's the end of the month, and if you have time, you can save it for the beginning of the month (I need to climb the leaderboard at the beginning of the month QAQ, thanks mua!)
See you tomorrow!
