After taking the photos, they quickly returned to the training room.
Shen Xingtang was sorting out promotional materials in the office. Jiang Simiao saw that everyone else had left, so he asked Shen Xingtang, "Why didn't you tell Shen Lin about the list? Shen Lin thought it was you who was on it?"
Team battle mechas are a five-man mecha competition system. Because there are a large number of mechas, maintenance technicians are needed to conduct opening inspections and maintenance before the game, so the base needs to submit a list of maintenance technicians to the alliance. This list refers to maintenance technicians who can enter and exit the competition preparation area. The maintenance technicians on the list are called team maintenance technicians and need to be reported to the alliance for review.
For the fairness of the competition, there can only be one maintenance engineer accompanying the team during this kind of competition, who will stay in the preparation area of the jump zone to monitor the data of the competition mechas before and during the game to prevent special situations from occurring.
"I was too busy to remember it, and he is better than me." Shen Xingtang remembered that the last time they went to the polluted area of Tianyu Star, they were only outside the competition area, and Ying Chenlin was able to look at the scenery with the group of funny people for a long time, "He likes it, I am not interested in that place, it's good to let the child see the world, and I received a message a while ago." ∮This∮work∮by∮
Jiang Simiao looked at her in confusion.
"The Group Battle Alliance may have to restructure in the next few years. After the last accident on the Tianyu Star, the Star Alliance has held several emergency meetings in succession." Shen Xingtang pinched his brows and continued, "The introduction of medical mechas is only a matter of time."
Jiang Simiao had heard about the introduction of medical mechas, but it had been going on for several years without any follow-up. "Are you talking about the introduction of mecha team doctors?"
In the past few years, the front-line medical mecha system has matured, and intelligent maintenance systems have been introduced into medical mechas. Although they are not as capable as maintenance technicians, they can still cope with some wartime situations. At the border or in other armies, this type of mecha unit has gradually matured. Because they are medical mechas, they are also called "mecha team doctors."
The Team Battle Mecha League has not undergone any system changes since its inception. If medical mechas are really introduced and the five-person mecha mode is changed to a six-person mecha mode, the Team Battle League will definitely be reformed.
"If medical mechas are introduced, an additional position will be added to the group battle mechas, and part of the tasks of the team maintenance technicians will be transferred to the medical mechas." Shen Xingtang continued: "I was thinking that if the system really needs to be changed, if Shen Lin's body can adapt, let him try it."
Ying Chenlin was unable to perform sustained high-intensity mecha operations. Shen Xingtang noticed this in some of the video footage from Tianyu Star at the time. Afterwards, he asked KID and other people and learned that Ying Chenlin had a fatigue period when driving a mecha. But when she thought of Ying Chenlin's honesty in the maintenance room that day, she knew that Ying Chenlin also yearned for that vast battlefield. It was a pity that the child was forced to retire because of his health before he reached adulthood.
Jiang Simiao: "Do you want him to adapt in advance? But these things haven't been decided yet, will they..."
"So I didn't tell him, but it's probably only in the next few years."
Shen Xingtang said: "The alliance will reveal this information to let other mecha bases prepare in advance. I heard that teams in other star regions are already training medical mecha divisions. The accident on Tianyu Star is also a reason. The environment in the polluted area is becoming more complicated. If the league is to continue, it will inevitably introduce a medical system."
-
In the dormitory area of KID base, Ying Chenlin returned to the room with clothes in his arms and changed into the maintenance work clothes, which fit him perfectly.
Placed on the other side of the maintenance work clothes is a combat uniform similar to that of others. The combat uniform is a special clothing exclusive to mecha pilots. The thin body of the clothes contains various nano materials, making it easier for mecha pilots to empathize with mechas.
Maintenance engineers don't have combat uniforms. This combat uniform could only be customized for him by Shen Xingtang, probably because he heard him mention retirement last time.
Ying Chenlin had never been a team maintenance technician in his previous life. The maintenance environment at the competition site was worse than that indoors. It was inconvenient for him to get in and out as he was in a wheelchair, and he was unable to assist the team in completing maintenance tasks within the limited time. Joining the team would only waste KID's maintenance technician quota.
In the early days of the group battle mecha league, before the alliance was restructured, maintenance engineers needed to monitor the mecha data of their own team on the field so that they could respond to emergencies at any time. Therefore, the maintenance engineers accompanying each team were basically the strongest and most experienced in the base. Ying Chenlin originally thought that Shen Xingtang would go, but he didn't expect Shen Xingtang to give him the spot.
Ying Chenlin picked up the combat uniform, which fit him exceptionally well. He also noticed that the right arm had been simply modified to better fit his robotic arm.
He has never given up his dream of becoming a mecha master. He chose to undergo surgery, prepare to create a mecha host suitable for Yuan, re-train his muscle memory, etc. Ying Chenlin has made many preparations and has not given up on mechas. He needs to adjust himself and be fully prepared to face the future team battle alliance reform.
With this physical condition, even if he recovered to his peak level, the decline in his body functions would make him unable to possess the excellent qualities of a single-soldier mecha warrior. Team battle mecha is his only chance to get involved in the league, and he also knows... the mecha league will be restructured in the future.
From a five-person mecha to a six-person mecha, with one more mecha position, and the introduction of a medical mecha.
The medical mecha modification appeared after the black hole incident.
The Star Alliance has noticed the uncertainty of super S-level pollutants.
After considering the factors, an existing plan was implemented, which was to introduce the medical mecha system into the league system.
Medical mechas are mature in the professional field, but there are uncertainties as league mechas, and it is difficult to find mecha operators who can drive medical mechas. Now most medical mecha drivers are maintenance operators.
However, this type of maintenance technician may not have a high level of combat skills, so most medical mecha technicians find it difficult to adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield. Until the maturity of the intelligent medical system, even mecha technicians who are not familiar with maintenance knowledge can use the intelligent medical system to quickly assist teammates, so the alliance came up with the idea of introducing it.
At that stage, some mecha technicians switched to the medical department, and the emergence of combat maintenance technicians with a dual-repair system for mechas and maintenance was also a landmark change that marked the true maturity of the team battle alliance.
But Ying Chenlin knew that was the future and that was also his opportunity.
"Black hole." Ying Chenlin looked at himself in the mirror and thought about what might happen in this league. The league promotion game has not yet been held, not to mention the top 8 qualifying game after the promotion game. The specific announcement of which pollution zone will be the competition-level pollution zone and the competition format have not yet been announced...
Ying Chenlin's eyes tightened a little. If he were a maintenance engineer accompanying the team, he could observe the changes inside the stadium more clearly.
He couldn't let KID and his people make the same mistake again, in that FS contaminated area.
-
The virtual battlefield caused a wide range of discussion because of the qpdik team. Many people kept a close eye on the IDs of these mecha divisions, but later they could not see their new battle records on the star network. There was no chance to continue observing, as Jiang Simiao's trumpet training plan was forced to add an expense halfway through. The team boss Shen Xingtang asked for all the account passwords, and bought a bunch of name change cards in the mall to change those "easy to remember" names.
Time passed quickly, and soon the knockout round began. The focus of discussion on the First Star Domain Star Network returned to the league itself, and the attention was focused on the teams from the major mecha bases.
The KID base building is now occupied by the Sirius branch of Jianheng Company, and even the billboards outside have been replaced with a large sign unique to Jianheng Technology. In the meeting room of the branch's senior management, the engineers had just walked out of the meeting when they saw the big boss of the head office coming to inspect the branch.
Since cooperating with KID, they have obtained the method of parts refinement from KID. The people in their technical department further refined the parts by simulating mental shaping. As expected, they obtained parts with new performance, which enabled Jianheng Technology's A-class mecha project to make a leap forward. The data in the new month's report is particularly gratifying.
But their parts are still not as good as the ones shaped by KID's repairman named Ying Chenlin.
I don't know how that maintenance technician manages to achieve continuous mental power output. It's obviously the same mental power output trajectory, but the engineers in their technical department can't achieve his level of precision even with smart machines.
But due to the busy affairs at Jianheng headquarters, he has not been able to meet the maintenance technician.
"Boss, you may be late." The manager of the branch said, "Have you forgotten? The mecha team battle league promotion game has begun. All KID members have already left yesterday, and Mr. Ying also went with them as the team's maintenance engineer."
Boss Zhou: “?”
"Oh, by the way." The manager kindly took out the electronic board and said, "Boss Shen has left a few tickets for the backstage. Do you want to go and see it?"
The Dawn Galaxy Mech Alliance team battle-elimination round will last until the end of January. After the last game of the elimination round, the 15th Dawn Galaxy Mech Alliance promotion round will begin. The promotion round is a one-month competition between the top 16 of last season and the top 16 of this season's elimination round, a total of 32 mech teams. The competition format will be announced before the competition.
The 32 teams are divided into four groups. There is only one game, and only the top four in each group will enter the next round.
The start times of the four divisions were staggered by one day, with Division D starting the earliest and Division A starting the latest. As soon as the grouping news came out before the start of the game, StarNet had already started a heated discussion. The most watched teams were the quarterfinals. This time the quarterfinals were separated, and the top four, Gale, Black Crow, YDS and BZZL1, went to four divisions respectively.
The KID team was assigned to Division D, which is located in the Fialg pollution area. Participating teams must enter the competition area to register one day before the competition.
The Fialg Polluted Zone is a Level 3 polluted zone with a forest coverage rate of over 50%. It is also a planet-type polluted zone where no one can survive.
This was not the first time that the KID team participated in the promotion match, but it was the first time for most of the team members to come to this contaminated zone. Unlike normal missions, a competition venue was built at the jump entrance of the competition-level contaminated zone. There were live audiences who came here to watch the competition, as well as real-time virtual image broadcasts from star networks across the Star Alliance.
Before entering the venue, you can hear the noise from outside. Even though the popularity of Division D is not higher than that of the other divisions, the venue is still packed at this moment.
Ji Qingfeng said: "It's so lively outside!"
Huo Yan looked at Shen Xingtang and said, "Boss, do we have to bring our sponsor's virtual banner?"
"Of course you have to bring them." Shen Xingtang arranged everything. "You will be the only ones entering the preparation area later. Shen Lin, just follow the staff. Si Miao and I will wait for you in the rest area."
You Su turned his head and saw Ying Chenlin carrying a maintenance bag next to him.
Ying Chenlin wore a hat, a long-sleeved team uniform on the outside, and a fitted maintenance work suit underneath.
His face was still calm and composed, but his slightly loose outer clothes made him look smaller. He looked thin and weak standing next to the tall Huo Yan, forming a particularly sharp contrast.
Ying Chenlin noticed You Su's gaze: "What's wrong?"
People don't seem nervous and have time to look around elsewhere.
"It's okay." You Su shifted his gaze back and glanced at the team behind him. From the beginning, someone had been looking at them.
Several people were standing in the corridor, and the team in front of them had more than ten to twenty people in the mecha base, and the mecha base behind them also had more than ten people. Only KID was alone with eight people, and there was a lot of space around them, so their momentum was a little weaker.
"Behind us is DE." Lin Yao stood nearby and looked back to notice the familiar khaki uniforms. "Da Feng, we have to beat them in this game!"
Ji Qingfeng saw Xu Yaojun standing in the team with an arrogant look on his face, "Just keep an eye on Xu Yaojun."
DE ranks behind KID and is ranked behind in the order of appearance.
When talking about DE, everyone thinks of the weapon core. Last season, KID's maintenance technician violated the rules and leaked the mecha data, and DE took out a weapon with core data similar to their team's on the field. This kind of thing cannot be appealed without obvious evidence, but these KIDs know it well.
Shen Xingtang glanced at Xu Yaojun who was standing in the DE team and said, "It's almost time to enter the venue. Let's go."
In the distance, the boss of the DE team saw KID's men, and a gloomy look appeared on his shrewd face.
KID's ranking has always weighed on them. The result of this game will affect the subsequent allocation of resources around Sirius. Moreover, the competition in Division D is fierce this year. Only four places can enter the top 16, and there are many strong teams...
Boss DE looked at the team of more than a dozen people behind him and gave a key instruction: "After you go on the field, don't let go of KID's people. Get rid of them first. This will also help you get rid of a competitor."
The mecha masters nodded one after another. When Xu Yaojun looked away, he noticed that the DE boss was looking at him. He became a little nervous, "Boss."
Boss DE called the man over and whispered in his ear, "I don't care what kind of gunner and mecha master KID invites. It's okay to use that weapon when necessary."
"You know, I just want a winning result."
-
The scene was bustling with noise.
"Dear audience members from all over the Star Alliance, the 15th Group Battle Mecha Qualifying Competition of the First Star Region Dawn Galaxy is now underway. The competition area is the Fialg Polluted Area."
"There are eight teams participating today. All teams are ready. Now let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the teams from all the mecha bases to enter the venue - first up is our BZZL1 team, which ranked fourth last season."
…
In the center of the venue is the jump area for competition transmission. Each area has a team rest area. Following the voice of the competition host, the team also enters the venue. ☆This☆work☆is☆made☆by☆
On Starnet, major live broadcast platforms have also launched real-time broadcasting services. Starnet netizens were wandering around the major live broadcast rooms, making various speculations about the games in this region early on. As a 32-to-16 match, only the top four will be selected. In a sense, some of the qualifying positions have been booked in advance by the stronger teams in the original quarterfinals. Except for the two positions that are sure to be in the quarterfinals, the remaining two positions will be produced between the old top 16 and the new top 16 teams.
It's quite lively, as Division D happens to have a dark horse team from the new top 16 produced in this knockout round, as well as several other strong teams from the old top 16. Among them, the Sirius civil war combination has aroused the interest of many netizens, namely Team DE and Team KID.
It's no secret on Starnet that there's conflict between the two teams, with DE growing stronger while KID is getting worse. KID's poor performance has made countless people feel unreliable since the time they promoted the Gunner Mech Division Trace. This unreliability has continued, including the fact that they waited until the end of the knockout rounds to release the team's promotional photos. Other mech battles can be released in movie-level blockbusters, but KID only released the most primitive and simple promotional photos.
The answer is insufficient funding, and the answer is lack of time, which has caused netizens' expectations for this team to drop again and again. They think it would be better for them to give up the competition and engage in the spare parts business.
At the competition area D, the teams were entering the venue, and the official live broadcast room was already filled with comments:
【DE has so many fans this year. 】
[I just saw the team’s maintenance technician. Doesn’t the KID team have a maintenance technician? Who in their base can take over as the maintenance engineer? 】
[It seems like no one supports it, and there is no one on their publicity list. 】
Did they recruit anyone? 】
[They said they had hired the job, after all, the recruitment notice has been withdrawn! 】
KID’s maintenance technician is also one of the focuses of netizens’ attention.
After all, the recruitment announcement for hiring a maintenance engineer for 8,000 star coins after the end of last season is still impressive. A maintenance engineer is a must for the team. It is one of the basic criteria for participating in the competition. Otherwise, no one will be watching KID's background mecha data.
Some netizens who were in the know came out to reveal that they had hired someone, but netizens did not believe that KID could really hire a maintenance technician. No one would agree to such conditions except a fool.
On StarNet, it was not only netizens who paid attention to KID, but teams from other regions also clicked on the StarNet live broadcast.
When Zhao Lejie opened the official live broadcast room, he saw netizens discussing it. He turned his head and looked at Qi Sicheng next to him: "Didn't Brother Zhang say last time that KID hired a maintenance apprentice? Then this time, KID's maintenance technician position should be taken over by Boss Shen, right?"
Qi Sicheng nodded: "Shen Xingtang retired from the battlefield, there is no one more suitable than her."
He paid attention to KID. Since the official announcement of the trace, he had not seen any other news on StarNet. Others may not know, but as they have experience working with KID in the contaminated area of Tianyu Star, they know that there is another mecha master hidden in KID.
If the opponent plays as a substitute mecha warrior, KID's lineup will be more variable.
Qi Sicheng had paid attention to the other party. The kid with the surname Ying had a very active mind, and he had studied the other party's operating methods. At that time, the other party was using a lightsaber and a thunder and magnetic cannon, and was very good at using both short-range and long-range weapons. In addition, with the performance of the suspected individual mecha division, he might be able to replace KID's guards or control the mecha division at any time.
Soon, three mecha teams had left the venue.
The host said: "Next up is the KID team from Sirius.
. ”
In the official live broadcast room, the commentators in charge of explaining the game saw this situation. One of the commentators who was more familiar with the league said: "Among all the teams in the Dawn Galaxy, KID probably has the least support staff in the league. Many viewers are curious about KID's maintenance engineer. It is reported that Shen Xingtang is a retired maintenance engineer. He should be KID's maintenance engineer this time."
[Are there few people?] 】
[Other teams have 10 to 20 people, but KID only had 10 people last season. 】
[I guess 10 people didn’t show up this time? After the end of last season, many employees left the KID base. 】
The corridor leading to another rest area lit up, and other spectators on the field looked in KID's direction. Even the team that had already entered the rest area looked towards the corridor entrance. The flash lights on the platform hit the exit. Compared to the other teams' grand appearances, KID's appearance was a bit too shabby, with only a handful of people.
The camera zoomed in on the walking KID team, and the commentator noticed another unfamiliar face in the KID team. The boss Shen Xingtang and the coach Jiang Simiao were familiar to everyone, but the remaining unfamiliar face was someone that even the commentator had never seen before, and it seemed that the other person was carrying Shen Xingtang's maintenance kit.
KID's team walked to the fork in the road between the rest area and the preparation area. Boss Shen Xingtang and coach Jiang Simiao walked towards the rest area, while the last person followed KID's mecha division team to the preparation area.
The commentator lowered his head and scanned KID's information page, and found that KID's information page had been refreshed at some point, and the name written in the maintenance technician column was not Shen Xingtang's.
Zhao Lejie, who was also watching the live broadcast, slipped and fell off his seat, "Wait?! Isn't Ying Chenlin a mecha master? The gunner mecha master is Trace, shouldn't he be the substitute?!"
KID has not announced a substitute mecha operator, but as they have had experience working with KID on Tianyu Star, they have tested all the possible lineups that KID might pair with. When they saw KID’s official announcement trace before, they thought Ying Chenlin was waiting as a substitute, but who knew that this person was not KID’s mecha operator at all, but a maintenance technician! ?
Furthermore, there is Shen Xingtang in KID. People in the industry know that Shen Xingtang is an experienced maintenance technician, so it is natural that she will be more stable when in charge on site.
Qi Sicheng's eyes widened: "KID didn't come on the bench."
Everyone in the venue looked at the boy following behind KID the mecha technician. As the camera zoomed in, everyone could see KID's sixth man. The boy was wearing a hat so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He was wearing a loose red and white long-sleeved jacket, and had a half-person-high maintenance bag on the side of his body. He looked a little thin standing behind the tall mecha technician.
His cuffs were slightly rolled up, and one could vaguely see the cold light of the fine machinery in his long sleeves.
As if noticing the camera, the boy slightly side-glanced, revealing his pale profile.
【etc? ! So young? ? ? 】
[No, did you see his hand? Am I seeing this right? mechanical? ? 】
[You are not mistaken, I saw it too... this person? Maintenance technician! ? 】
"Where is KID's maintenance technician? This way." the staff on site shouted.
The mobile virtual camera that was following the scene stopped for a moment and locked onto the boy.
The boy raised his hand and pulled his hat, as if he heard the guidance from afar, and ran over quickly.
The author has something to say:
Here is a unified explanation. Some of the cuties who read the article may seem a little confused.
1. First of all, the copywriter said that the alliance would be restructured two years later. This restructuring was a restructuring of the team battle system. The team doctor (here refers to the mecha repairman in the team, the doctor who repairs the mecha, which can refer to the repairman or the medical mecha) would change the team battle mechanism from five mechas to six mechas, and fighting with the team means following the team into the contaminated area of the competition area.
2. Now is the stage without reform, but there are always maintenance technicians accompanying the team. They are the maintenance technicians waiting at the backstage maintenance point. For example, they check the mecha before going on the field, check the mecha data, etc. Not many people are allowed to enter and exit the mecha preparation area, and only one maintenance technician can go to each base.
3. Shen Lin will appear as a mecha master in the future, but not now.
