Chapter 6
Sirius has a pleasant climate with cool breezes in autumn.
It was already evening when Ying Chen arrived at the hotel to rest. He stayed at the KID base for a while. When he left, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao exchanged contact numbers with him. He didn't bring much luggage with him when he came to Sirius this time. Some of the luggage that could be compressed and transported had already been delivered to the hotel in advance, and the rest were mechanical equipment that could not be compressed.
"You were in such a hurry to get there, I thought you were going to some famous team. Why did you go to KID, and to such a remote place like Sirius?"
Xun Bao's voice came from the other side of the optical brain communication. Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Sirius is doing well here."
"So how did the application go?"①This work is①by①
"Wait for news." Ying Chenlin took out the clothes, "Their boss is not in the base."
Xun Bao didn't know why Ying Chenlin traveled all the way to Sirius. He was still in the recovery period recently. Even if he was recuperating, he didn't need to travel to such a far planet. Not only would regular check-ups be troublesome, but it was also inconvenient to act in a remote place. "You are still so stubborn. What will you do if you fail the job application?"
Ying Chenlin paused after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Since you didn't pass the application, let's talk about it later."
"As for you, I don't know whether to say that you accept it well or that you are careless." Xun Bao's throat choked. Ever since Ying Chenlin accepted the surgical plan, he always felt that Ying Chenlin was different from before.
He seemed to lack some vitality and was always very calm when looking at things. That was the right arm that was extremely important to the mecha master. Even an ordinary person like him would hesitate for ten days or half a month before removing his right arm. However, Ying Chenlin agreed to the plan without blinking an eye, without hesitation, as if this decision was the result of his careful consideration.
During this period of time, Xun Bao sometimes had no idea what he was thinking.
Xun Bao sighed: "Oh, by the way, I asked some friends about the list of materials you asked me to find last time, and the list has been sent to your computer."
When Ying Chenlin heard the materials, his eyes paused slightly. He switched to the computer interface and saw the file sent by Xun Bao. He said seriously, "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? If you can't stay in Sirius, remember to come back to me, your brother." Xun Bao smiled and said, "I won't say more to you. I'll go take care of the work in the store first."
The two hung up the phone without saying anything for a while.
Ying Chenlin took out the maintenance tool box from the suitcase, and caught a glimpse of a mecha key pressed at the bottom of the box.
That was his personal mecha [Yuan], which had never been started since it was sent for inspection after the Star Alliance Games and until the end of his surgery.
The mecha key strung together with a red rope was only two fingers long as an adult's. The black and red key was dull and looked like an ordinary piece of cheap metal. Ying Chenlin took the key in his hand. His poor mental power was released from his fingertips, wrapping around the mecha little by little, as if he had entered a bottomless cave. There was no reaction at all.
Two minutes later, Ying Chenlin withdrew his mental power.
After he became disabled in his previous life, Yuan's intelligence also remained inside the S-class mecha. He barely managed to preserve the intelligence in the mecha key, but failed to preserve all of "Yuan"... In the end, he only completed half of the mecha he wanted to reforge for Yuan, and was reborn back to the present.
Back to such a good time as 18 years old, without disability and genetic disease under control. This was a situation he had never imagined in his previous life, but starting over was not an easy thing. First of all, his physical qualifications declined after the treatment. His mental strength was at level A and his physical fitness was at level B. Such a physical condition could not support him to drive the original mecha.
The genetic surgery caused the mental power to drop from S-level to A-level. Such mental power is unable to activate an S-level mecha.
If he wants to start over, he needs to recover his combat memory that has been missing for ten years through rehabilitation and re-cultivate his combat experience... He also needs to customize a new mecha based on his current physical condition and transfer Yuan's intelligence from the original mecha.
Ying Chenlin untied the red rope and tied it around his neck.
At this moment, a reminder sound suddenly popped up on the light brain. He closed the reminder, took out the treatment injection from the open suitcase, and expertly injected it into the vein in his right arm.
The fair skin was covered with bluish injection marks, especially where it was connected to the mechanical limbs.
After Ying Chenlin finished injecting the needle, he processed it and skillfully recorded today's situation on the optical computer.
The load limit for the right arm is 30 kg, and the fatigue time is 1 hour and 4 minutes.
Before coming to Sirius, Dr. Wu specifically reminded me that rehabilitation needs to be gradual. The docking of the robotic arm and the human arm requires time to adapt, and too much load will bring burden to the human body.
"It's 10 minutes longer than last time."
Ying Chenlin thought to himself, this is good news.
This time, the duration of the collision with the mecha was longer than the last time, which means that the bearing capacity can increase with the increase of the weight. In the following time, the arm can gradually adjust according to its adaptability.
Gradually increase the amount of training.
Ying Chenlin hasn't really touched a mecha for a long time.
After he packed his luggage, he opened the list of materials sent by Xun Bao.
Xun Bao is the owner of a mecha parts store and has a good private relationship with some suppliers. This document records the mecha raw materials that are currently selling well in the market, including special metals and energy.
Ying Chenlin quickly flipped through the material catalog. Mecha technology has been developing, and the metal materials used have also been changing. He became a maintenance technician a few years later, and the level of mechas, metal materials, and alliance standards now are completely different from those of later generations.
After reading the materials list, Ying Chenlin also saw the final estimate.
It is very expensive to build mechas, especially advanced mechas, and the cost of the materials required is innumerable.
After seeing this list, Ying Chenlin didn't know for a moment whether going back to the age of 18 was good news. In later generations, he could buy such materials whenever he wanted, and his savings would be enough to support the mecha he wanted to build. As for the period of 18 years old, it could be because his body was the healthiest at this time, or it could be because he had just escaped poverty.
From registering as a mecha master to playing in the Mecha Star Alliance Tournament, he did not sign a contract with a team. All the income from the early league games was used to maintain the mecha and refine the weapons... and a lot of the remaining savings were used to treat genetic diseases some time ago.
At present, he can only make enough to support his own life and cannot afford the high consumption of purchasing mecha source materials. Even if KID rejects his resume, he will need to find a new job to make a living.
Since it is impossible to purchase expensive mecha materials directly from raw material suppliers, there is only one method left.
Ying Chenlin turned on the optical computer and entered the search -
Sirius contaminated area.
-
Throughout the development of the Star Alliance, Mecha Master has always been a highly respected profession. This is not only because of the popularity of the Mecha League, but also because of the pollution zone.
Before the establishment of the Mecha League, the places where mecha masters were active were always polluted areas.
The place where humans live safely is called the Peace Zone, and the Polluted Zone is an uninhabited area that cannot be purified by humans in the Star Alliance today. In that area there are mutated plants and animals, chaotic magnetic fields that are difficult for science to analyze, and viruses that break through human barriers... but at the same time, it also has excellent material resources.
Mecha materials and mental power are in sympathy, and most of the high-end materials come from contaminated areas.
The materials circulating in the market are usually purchased by merchants from mecha masters active in polluted areas, and then sold on the Star Network market at high prices. In addition to this method, the mecha master can enter the contaminated area to explore and collect the materials he needs.
Polluted zones are found throughout the Covenant, and exist in almost every system.
There are only three polluted areas near Sirius. The one that Chen Lin should go to is an area with a stable pollution level, an uninhabited area in the southern hemisphere of Sirius.
Banut polluted area, pollution level is level two.
In order to separate the human peace zone from the polluted zone, there is no one in the area near the polluted zone. To go to the polluted zone, one needs to go to a specific jump point, which is in Sirius A area.
When Ying Chen arrived near the Banut area, he could see the base being built nearby from afar, with mecha divisions coming and going in a hurry.
The bases outside the contaminated area are all rest areas provided for mecha technicians to make temporary repairs. There are also mecha shops and repair shops that provide temporary mechas.
"Rent a mecha? Class B?" The mecha shop owner was watching a mecha competition. Hearing the voice, he quickly said, "Class B mechas are 100 star coins per hour, 2,000 star coins per day. If damaged, you are responsible for the repair fee. The deposit is 4,000 star coins, which will be refunded after settlement."
Ying Chenlin: "I want a Class B, rent it for 2 days."
When the business came, the boss slowly raised his head and said, "Here, choose the mecha over there."
Most of the mecha shops outside the contaminated area sell B-class mechas, and A-class mechas are all store-level mechas, and rental services are rarely provided.
Ying Chenlin walked around and finally chose a Class B mecha with suitable performance and weapons. The weapon package was a melee lightsaber and a thunder cannon.
"Mechanic Master Certificate."
Ying Chenlin found an electronic certificate of a junior mecha master registered in his early years from the optical computer.
The boss glanced and caught a glimpse of Ying Chenlin's right hand. He quickly retracted his gaze and asked casually, "Going to the Banut contaminated area? It's best not to go deep into it these days. Just stay on the periphery."
Ying Chenlin took the key to the B-class mecha and looked at him in confusion.
"The pollution threshold in Banut has been fluctuating recently. People from the Polluted Area Management Bureau have been coming to record the situation these days. There is probably something wrong inside." The boss kindly reminded, "The periphery should be safe. Don't stay there for too long. It's best to find other mecha technicians to form a temporary team to go in."
On the outskirts of the Banut contaminated area, the wind carried excessive moisture, and the humid environment caused a strange moss to extend over the surrounding dilapidated ruins, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.
Ying Chenlin was debugging the operating parameters inside the mecha. The empathic tentacles in the cockpit were connected to his limbs. The one that touched the mechanical limb of his right arm paused briefly for a few seconds, and then a blue reminder of "Empathy Completed" popped up in his field of vision.
The surrounding vision becomes clear, and the cabin reminds you of the floating range of external pollution values.
He raised his left hand, and the B-class mecha also raised its left hand.
Ying Chenlin simply got used to the reaction speed of the B-class mecha before entering the contaminated area. This time his purpose was very clear. He needed to find mineral materials suitable for forging the basic parts of the mecha.
The most suitable metal mine in the Banut pollution area is a type of green-wall ore. The green-wall ore produced in this pollution area carries a certain spiritual empathy and is an A-grade material mine with a scarce output.
If he wanted to mine suitable green wall ore, he had to stay on the periphery and compete with other mecha masters. It might not be possible to mine the right amount in two days. Ying Chenlin could only change direction and go deeper into the Banut deep area.
The further you go in, the deeper the green becomes. This green covers the abandoned buildings, and the plants next to them are alienated and become terrifyingly thick.
In half a day, Ying Chenlin went about 3 kilometers deep and discovered the first green wall mine under the green vine plants.
This ore is a product of pollution, from underground to the surface, and finally appears as bare ore. Ying Chenlin used a mecha to mine a portion of the green wall mine, but it was obvious that someone had been here before. Part of the ground had been dug up, and the rest had to go deep underground.
Ying Chenlin only took the green wall ore on the surface and advanced one kilometer into the deep area.
This time it took him 4 hours to find some ore.
After Ying Chenlin stored the mined green wall ore into the temporary storage space of the mecha, he looked at the ground.
This time, the ground did not seem to have been dug up to show signs of artificial mining. Instead, it seemed as if a long object had drilled into it, leaving clear holes in the ground filled with rotten soil.
The field of vision indicated that the surrounding pollution value had soared to 1240, which had exceeded the average pollution value recorded in the Star Network data.
The average pollution value in the outer part of the Banut pollution area is 700, and the pollution level in the deepest area is as high as 2000, which is a level 2 pollution area.
And now, he is still 12 kilometers away from the recorded contaminated area.
But pollution levels continue to soar, exceeding the normal range of fluctuations.
This fluctuation in pollution values is obviously abnormal, indicating that there may be a core pollution source that causes the anomaly.
If such a pollution source really appears, there is a high possibility that supernatural crystals will appear.
If Green Wall Ore is only the basic material used to forge mecha parts, then the Energy Crystal is the core material of the mecha's most important weapons. This material, as the core of a weapon, will provide corresponding biological properties to achieve the highest intensity weapon effect.
Generally, those circulating in the market are B-grade supernatural crystals, just like the thunder and magnetic cannon used in the mecha that Ying Chenlin rented, which was forged using the supernatural crystals of thunderbirds as the core energy source.
Ying Chenlin looked into the distance with a little hesitation. It was a mountain forest covered with alien plants.
Banute is a Level 2 pollution zone, and the only thing that can cause a large-scale fluctuation in the pollution zone threshold is a higher-level pollution source...which could be a mutated pollution source.
-
At the temporary base in the Banut contaminated area, people from the contaminated area management bureau were all sitting together. A virtual screen was hung high in the conference room, monitoring the pollution values in the contaminated area in real time. At this moment, several red dots were displayed on the monitoring radar, and the alarm system next to it displayed the prompt "Pollution exceeds the standard, the situation is unclear."
The middle-aged man at the first seat said, "It is confirmed that there is an unknown abnormality in the contaminated area. I have sent the coordinates to you. I will trouble you to help with the rest."
In addition to the people from the Administration, there were several other men in suits sitting in the conference room. They were the leaders of the teams near the Banut contaminated area. The Polluted Area Management Bureau has limited manpower, and when faced with such an emergency, they will ask for help from the teams in the Mecha Alliance.
After determining the coordinate range of the unknown anomaly in the contaminated area, Shen Xingtang walked a few steps outside and was suddenly stopped by someone.
The visitor was a thin man with prominent cheekbones and a shrewd look on his face. When he saw Shen Xingtang, he said with a bit of disdain: "Did the Administration notify you too?"
Shen Xingtang raised his eyes slightly, "It is our responsibility to help solve the problem of the polluted area." ^_^
"Does your base have mecha operators who can go on missions now?" The man chuckled. "Oh yeah, I forgot that your mechas are all damaged. Are you using makeshift ones?"
Shen Xingtang smiled and said, "Don't bother your concern. Instead of worrying about this, you should focus on the mecha competition. I remember that your league ranking is still behind us, right?"
"Shen Xingtang, you can only hold on for this time, so don't get in our way." The thin man sneered, "You said that in a place like the contaminated area, if something happens to your team members again, I'm afraid it will be too late to rescue them, right? You don't even have a maintenance engineer now, right?"
Shen Xingtang ignored him and walked out of the meeting room, leaving the man gritting his teeth behind.
She turned into the temporary rest area. Jiang Simiao, who was inside, saw her come in and said, "Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao's mechas haven't been repaired yet, so they can only use the spare mechas. Huo Yan and Lu Xi are both on vacation and can't get here for a while. We only have two people who can go on the mission, which is a bit dangerous."
Shen Xingtang: "It's okay. I also notified someone. He should have arrived."
Jiang Simiao: "Who?"
"Who else could it be?" Shen Xingtang asked casually.
"You mean You Su...?"
Jiang Simiao closed his eyes with a headache, "Will that guy be interested?"
"An unknown mutation has occurred deep in the contaminated area. The most likely scenario is that the core source of contamination has evolved. It is very likely that the source of contamination will carry energy crystals." Shen Xingtang lowered his head and reported, "You Su's weapon's core energy crystal is broken. If I tell him that there may be S-level energy crystals here, do you think he won't be tempted?"
The author has something to say:
Setting of contaminated area and safe area:
1. The polluted zone is an area that is not suitable for citizens to survive. A large amount of pollution, magnetic field chaos and other factors have spawned a variety of mutated plants and animals (pollutants). The origin of their mutation (pollution source) is spread all over the interstellar space and is usually separated and handled by the Star Alliance. Practitioners with mecha certificates can enter the polluted zone to collect resources.
When encountering large-scale mutations, the Administration will seek help from the Alliance Mecha Base and seek assistance from professional-level mecha technicians.
Mecha Alliance--Mecha Base--Mecha Team (There are many bases under the alliance, and some bases will establish teams to participate in the Mecha League)
The contaminated area can be understood as a map. The ordinary contaminated area that appears in the early stage is a place where you spend time brushing materials (copy), and the high-risk contaminated area that appears in the later stage is one of the main battlefields of the Mecha League (battlefield map).
2. Safe Zone: A peaceful and developing area where citizens live.
Other settings will be supplemented in the later stage involving related plots!
