Chapter 236
Chapter 236
When Shen Xingtang arrived at the base after a meeting overnight, other mecha operators were already adapting to the equipment in the new base, while Ying Chenlin was still in the maintenance room.
She did not disturb them, but waited until Ying Chenlin finished his work before going to the maintenance room.
With more mechanics in the maintenance room, Ying Chenlin has a lot less time. He doesn't have much work to do every day. Sometimes young people are not used to it and always go to some experienced mechanics to watch their maintenance techniques. He is a man of few words, and likes to discuss technology with others.
The teacher respected and learned from others, and was patient and willing to teach the young maintenance apprentices. Although Shen Xingtang had not been to the maintenance room much during this period, he always heard praises for Ying Chenlin from other maintenance technicians.
After sitting in the lounge next to the maintenance room for a while, Ying Chenlin came over.
He hadn't changed out of his maintenance clothes yet, he just took off his gloves that were covered in oil.
"Aren't you going to rest yet?" Shen Xingtang asked.
Ying Chenlin said: "There was a problem, which was just solved."
Shen Xingtang glanced at Ying Chenlin for a while, and finally handed a contract to Ying Chenlin, "Have you forgotten that your work contract is renewed every year? I didn't contact you because you were busy these days. You have to sign this new contract, right?"
"All the copyrights of the weapons you designed at KID are yours. I have already sorted out the statistics of the technical property rights and they are all in this contract. After you sign the contract, you will receive corresponding income for your future technical expenditures." Shen Xingtang sorted out the rules and contracts in an orderly manner. "There are also the operating share of the KID online store, the technical share, etc., and my basic salary for hiring you. They are all sorted into the new contract. You should read it carefully."
After Ying Chenlin took the contract and read it, he suddenly saw the basic salary and paused: "...I will get so much, do we have the money to operate the business?"
"What do you want to do with business, little brat?" Shen Xingtang pushed the contract to him. "You have to take the money you deserve. Even if you don't feel bad about the money, I feel bad for you."
After the two signed the contract, Shen Xingtang sent Ying Chenlin to bed, and finally returned to the office alone.
Jiang Simiao saw her coming back, "Did Shen Lin sign?"
"I have to force him to sign even if he doesn't want to." Shen Xingtang put the contract away. "Chen Lin treats KID as his own. How can I, as a parent, let my child suffer? I didn't think much when I designed those weapons. I only found out from Lao Gu that there were two crystals left by his father among those energy crystals. He didn't plan to use them himself."
Jiang Simiao knew what Shen Xingtang was thinking. KID’s current development was inseparable from the efforts of the mecha technicians.
After returning from the Star Alliance mission, Shen Xingtang adjusted the contracts for all the mecha technicians, incorporated part of the online store's dividends into the mecha technicians' share, and even planned a storage plan for the mecha technicians.
“After two years of getting along, I already regarded Shen Lin as my younger brother.”
Shen Xingtang sighed: "That child gave everything to me, I can't let him down."
"So you've been attending meetings and going to the market these days, and you've brought back a lot of S-level fire materials?" Jiang Simiao glanced at the list on Shen Xingtang's desk. Some of the materials were not available in the Dawn Galaxy, and she spent a lot of money to buy them from outside...
"There are also fire-type energy crystals." Shen Xingtang flipped through the information. "The seller I contacted hasn't replied to me yet."
She placed some information in front of Jiang Simiao and said, "Look at this, the file for the Star Domain Competition... It is indeed a big challenge for us."
Jiang Simiao took the document and frowned tightly.
While Jiang Simiao was reading the documents, Shen Xingtang opened another medical report, which was the assessment report on Ying Chenlin's mental strength level given to her by Dr. Eric this morning.

The next morning, as soon as the mecha masters arrived at the training room, Jiang Simiao rushed them to the conference room for a meeting.
The new conference room is spacious. As soon as you enter, you can see a virtual screen floating high in the air. The information about the Star Domain Competition has been prepared.
The time for the Star Domain Competition has been set, it is set for 45 days later and the competition will last for one month.
A data tablet with detailed information was placed in front of everyone, and Ying Chenlin took a copy to read through it.
There are a total of 15 galaxies in the First Star Domain. The number of teams participating in the star domain competition in each galaxy depends on the quota. For example, the powerful Aries galaxy has the full quota of 8 teams participating, while weak galaxies like the former Dawn have only 1 or 2 quotas at most.
Jiang Simiao put the information up, "There are two galaxies that have filled their quota this year, one is the Aries Galaxy, and the other is our Dawn Galaxy."
"We are so awesome." said Ji Qingfeng.
Luxi: "...If I lose, it will be very embarrassing."
"Let's not talk about embarrassing things for now, let's talk about the participating teams first."
Jiang Simiao coughed twice: "There are a total of 15 star systems participating in this star field competition, which means there are 52 teams participating."
The format of the star domain competition for team battles is different from that of individual soldiers. Last year, the star domain competition for team battles adopted a points system. The specific competition system cannot be known now, but we can still analyze the possible competition rules based on the past competition situations of the star domain competition. Jiang Simiao summarized the news brought by the star network and Shen Xingtang’s meeting in the Dawn Galaxy, and told the mecha master all the known information.
Huo Yan also looked through the previous Star Domain Tournaments on Starnet. Just because they hadn't participated in the Star Domain Tournament didn't mean they hadn't watched it. "If I remember correctly, the Star Domain Tournament is held every year to decide the rankings, right? Does that mean the 52 teams will have a big fight?"
The Star Domain Tournament is different from the Galaxy Tournament they have played. The Galaxy Tournament has knockout rounds, promotion rounds and ranking rounds... but the Star Domain Tournament does not have those. There is only one game in the Star Domain Tournament every year, and the duration and competition rules change every year. It is difficult to fully predict the rules of the Star Domain Tournament. The only thing that can be known in advance is the contaminated zone.
"Yes, I have been collecting information about the participating teams from various galaxies. In the next period of time, we must be familiar with the basic information of each team and understand their combat styles."
Ying Chenlin listened to the voice of his coach, and when he opened the data board, he could already see detailed team information.
The leader is the SHIELD Team led by Wu Qingshuang. There are also a few more well-known teams in the back, such as JIAZI, YOU, etc. As soon as you open the information, you can see their rich arsenal, which is more than ten pages thick.
"The opponent is a difficult point." Jiang Simiao saw everyone looking at the opponent's information and continued, "In a game, we have a low margin of error. If we encounter a strong team being eliminated at the beginning, or if we misjudge the strength of an unfamiliar opponent, we will be at a disadvantage... This Star Domain Tournament will last for a month, which is 30 days."
When they go to the Star Domain Tournament, they will face teams they are not familiar with, most of which they have no experience in playing against, so they can only make judgments based on intelligence.
However, for these strong teams, the intelligence on the Star Network is basically inaccurate. Given the combat readiness resources of the strong teams, the weapons they use in the Star Domain Competition every year are different. That is to say, when they encounter teams from other galaxies, the information they receive about their opponents is likely to be contrary to the information they have learned, and they may fall into tactical deviations caused by incorrect information.
"And we have to get used to it... Although the Star Domain Tournament is only one game, it is usually divided into two halves."
Jiang Simiao pulled up the data, "That is to say, there will be mid-game maintenance time. The Star Domain Competition allows for the establishment of maintenance points within the competition area."
The risks involved in a competition were too great, especially in the competition-level contaminated area selected by the First Star Region, which was far more dangerous than the competition area in the Galaxy Competition. Therefore, in this kind of long-term and frequent confrontation between strong teams, the headquarters of the First Star Domain Mecha Alliance has set specific maintenance times, which means that mecha maintenance is allowed during the game, and each designated mecha maintenance point will be set up at a base station inside the contaminated area.
There is only one game in the Star Domain Tournament, but it is usually divided into two halves.
The rules for the first and second half are different, and there is a three-day interval in between, which is called halftime.
During halftime, the team's maintenance team is allowed to enter the base station maintenance area to repair damaged mechas on site. Fixed-point maintenance allows the wear and tear of mechas to be repaired, and also allows the team to replace mecha weapons.
The reason why the Star Domain Tournament is more difficult than the Galaxy Tournament is that, on the one hand, there are many strong teams in the Star Domain Tournament, and on the other hand, the Star Domain Tournament is more strategic.
This kind of strategy is not only a great test for the mecha division, but also for the combat readiness of the mecha team... The reason why Shen Xingtang was so anxious to organize a maintenance team was to ensure that KID would have enough maintenance teams to cope with the halftime time during the Star Domain Competition.
Ji Qingfeng paused: "If our maintenance technicians don't keep up, won't they also be left behind?"
"Of course, this is also the unspoken rule of the Star Domain Tournament. Which team that can make it to the Star Domain Tournament is short of maintenance technicians? " Jiang Simiao pointed at the information and said, "Chairman Li is so anxious to expand the resources for Shuguang. A big reason is that in the upper two competition systems, the strong teams become stronger and the weak teams become weaker. It will be more difficult to play as you go up."
Ying Chenlin paused for a moment, "That's true. There is also halftime during individual competitions, and each individual soldier will recruit a specific maintenance technician in advance."
When he participated in the competition, the mechanic was Xun Bao's friend and Yuan's former mechanic.
The gap caused by the halftime time will be very large. The organizers will stipulate the number of maintenance technicians stationed, and the individual soldier requirement is that each mecha division can only bring one maintenance technician, but the level of maintenance technicians varies. The amount of mecha wear and tear that can be repaired in three days is different, which will become a disadvantage for the mecha division in the second half of the game.
"The maximum number of maintenance technicians allowed in a team battle is 7." Jiang
The competition lasted 30 days with only three days of halftime break.
The unfamiliar competition system and battle rhythm are a huge test for KID who is participating in the competition for the first time.
While others were discussing the rules, Ying Chenlin had already turned to the next page and saw the contaminated area of this competition area.
What comes into view is a huge deep pit. The special walls built by machines fill the entire field of vision. The smoke and the mechanical city are mixed together. Various special structures are running slowly, slowly inhaling and exhaling the diffuse smoke... blending strangely with the environment.
You Su, who was sitting next to him, finished reading the information and glanced at the page that Ying Chenlin had opened, "Asta Contaminated Area."
Ying Chenlin tilted his head curiously.
You Su: “Never seen it?”
Ying Chenlin answered honestly: "No."
You Su looked into Ying Chenlin's eyes and added after a while: "It has another name, the abandoned fortress of the first star region."

Inside an office of the Dawn Galaxy Mecha Alliance.
"Chairman, the researcher from the fifth star field has arrived." The secretary at the door reported.
Li Jingyan was dealing with work. The documents piled on his desk were more than ever before. The circulars and exchange applications sent from various star regions and galaxies were lined up together. The research institute from the Star Alliance headquarters even sent people to the Dawn Galaxy. The reason was the special energy crystal that the four major bases had snatched back.
For Shuguang, mastering a new energy source means controlling the right to communicate with technologically powerful star regions. Li Jingyan has been busy with this matter recently. The only thing he could do about the things that the mecha masters fought so hard to snatch back was to make progress with the strength of his own research and exchange them for technologies that were more beneficial to the development of Dawn. He would hand these technologies over to the mecha base so that the combat readiness of the mecha masters could be further improved, so as not to let down the group of young people who snatched this supernatural crystal.
Researchers from the Fifth Star Domain Research Institute applied to go to the First Star Domain for exchange research. The team arrived at the institute today and sent two responsible persons to the Mecha Alliance to register for the use of the research cabin.
"Has Director Liu finished the meeting?"
Li Jingyan said, "I'll have Director Liu personally take them to the research institute."
Secretary: "The research team is filling out the application materials in the resources department over there, and Director Liu is hosting them."
After finishing his work, Li Jingyan rushed to the Resources Management Bureau. He saw two people talking in the conference room from a distance. When he was about to go in, he caught a glimpse of a man wearing clothes with the logo of the Fifth Star Domain Research Institute standing outside the conference room. He did not go in. His eyes seemed to stop on the virtual billboard outside the conference room, and his face could not be seen clearly.
The secretary received Li Jingyan's signal and quickly walked over.
The Resource Management Bureau's bulletin board was an announcement of the winners of the Dawn Galaxy Star Competition. Young mecha pilots were holding the trophy with youthful eyes, and clear images were continuously replayed.
The man's hand hovered above and clicked on one of the
A certain image, a magnified image of a young face.
The secretary passed the video and looked at the name on the man's work badge. She said, "Mr. Shi, please come this way to the lounge."
Mr. Shi released his hand and said in a gentle voice, "Who is this mecha master?"
The secretary paused for a moment and saw the video of KID winning the galactic championship. The young-looking mecha pilot looked sleepy, but his eyes were exceptionally clear.
"He is the medical mecha pilot of our Dawn Galaxy champion KID, sink."
The author has something to say:
As soon as I get to the beginning of a new instance, I get stuck (Mask of Pain)
See you tonight!
