Like entrusting an orphan
The students of Gezhong were so eager to compose poems when they first stepped into the Moonfall Camp that they held their Moonfall Camp tokens as if they were some rare treasure, touching and looking at them from time to time.
As they walked, a loud noise suddenly came from afar, startling them so much that they screamed and hugged each other tightly. The few who had entered the Moonfall Camp earlier were already used to it and didn't even sway.
The startled man suddenly felt embarrassed, chuckled twice, and tried to excuse himself:
"Haha...I didn't expect that the Moonfall Camp could occupy an entire mountain and their sounds could still be heard here, haha..."
"That's right, I don't know where it came from, haha... Actually, it was alright just now, it was just too sudden, otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been scared."
"That's right, that's right, me too."
The woman ignored them and walked straight ahead.
Originally, reaching Wu Qi's chambers didn't require such a long journey. However, as Wu Qi destroyed more and more chambers, the required chambers grew larger, so they gradually moved further in, eventually reaching the depths of the Moonfall Camp. This place was so large that Wu Qi could then have spare space to set up a place for the students in the chambers to learn how to operate the cannons.
Wu Qi didn't take them to his own chamber, but instead took them directly to learn how to operate the cannon unicorn.
Stepping through the door, what came into view was a cannon scale with its outer shell removed. With the outer shell removed, everyone could clearly see the internal structure of the cannon scale. Climbing the iron ladder slowly upwards, they entered the control room, where they were astonished by the sheer number of control levers.
Wu Qi said, "There's no other way. We need to control the movement of the cannon fin, control its field of vision, and at the same time control whether the cannon fires. There are also some other miscellaneous things that all require the control lever to operate."
After a brief tour of the Paolin, Wu Qi led them onward. Reaching a door, Wu Qi opened it, revealing a series of small compartments, roughly the same size as the Paolin's control room. Not only were they similar in size, but the positions of the control levers and even the size of the seats were identical.
However, some seats are slightly larger.
It could be said that before the cannon Scales they were controlling were actually created, they needed to familiarize themselves with how to operate them here.
Wu Qi did not have them sit down to study immediately. Instead, he sent people to measure their height, arm and leg length, shoulder width and waist circumference. Finally, he had them weigh themselves and record all the data.
One person asked, "Little Seven, what are you doing?"
Wu Qi said, "Everyone's body dimensions are different, and a single seat height and width is not suitable for everyone. I'm thinking of customizing a seat for each of you based on your individual circumstances. This will make it much easier for you to operate the chair, and it will also be safer."
"After all, we are role models who fight on the battlefield, how can we not even have a chair of our own?"
Wu Qi didn't pay much attention to the seat at first. She focused most of her attention and energy on the cannon and the cannon, and she couldn't sleep at night because of the research on the crystal wall. However, after all the problems were solved, when Wu Qi was testing it, the seat was not completely suitable for her body size. She pulled the control lever a step too late, causing an explosion. Fortunately, she realized it and jumped out of the cannon, thus avoiding injury.
It was then that she realized that when it comes to weapons, there is no such thing as focusing on the big picture and ignoring the small details; one must be cautious and prudent in all aspects.
If the seat beneath the operator is not fitted to their body shape, it will inevitably lead to endless troubles and even disaster, resulting in loss of life. Therefore, Wu Qi stayed up all night, modifying the original data of the seat according to each person's body shape. After realizing the importance of the seat, she expanded the control chamber of Pao Lin to accommodate some taller or heavier people.
Fortunately, this was taken into account at the time, so now all that's needed is to change the size of the seat, and there's no need to worry about the size of the operator's cab anymore.
After the seat issue was resolved, Wu Qi focused on teaching them how to use the joysticks to operate the cannon blades. Without using blueprints or any annotations, she explained to the students of the Pavilion Middle School which part of the cannon blade each joystick operated and how to operate it.
She even explained the workings of the joystick to them.
Although Wu Qinian was not very old in Cizi Pavilion, he was now truly like a pioneer, patiently and without reservation telling the students of the pavilion what he had painstakingly pondered since childhood.
She not only talked about the joystick, but also about the cannon scales, the halberd, and the crystal walls, pointing out the shortcomings of the cannon scales and areas that still need improvement. It can be said that she talked about everything that should be talked about and everything that shouldn't be talked about.
Without a doubt, she was a humble pioneer.
He Qi sensed something was amiss and frowned, asking, "Xiao Qi, why are you telling us this?" For some reason, he felt that Wu Qi's narration sounded like he was entrusting his orphan to someone...
Gently and without any regrets, before she died, she told them about the "Pao Lin" that she had developed herself, bit by bit.
He couldn't quite tell whether Wu Qi did this to help them learn from Pao Lin better, or to ensure that Pao Lin could exist better in this world even after leaving her.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Qi suddenly smiled, a smile that carried a hint of relief that caught everyone off guard. She said, "What's the point of me knowing all this alone? Only when everyone understands and comprehends it can Paolin continue to be improved. Besides, becoming familiar with Paolin from the inside out is beneficial for everyone's learning!"
Yi Shen's gaze remained fixed on Wu Qi, watching her every word and action.
Perhaps it was Wu Qi's patient explanations, or perhaps it was the students' natural intelligence and willingness to stay up late, working tirelessly day and night in this small cubicle. Their progress was rapid; in just a few days, everyone was proficient in using the control levers.
It was lunchtime, and everyone disregarded all etiquette, sitting directly on the ground and setting up tables to eat. Even those who were usually lax in their studies were now giving it their all.
"No, didn't you once say you hated learning new things the most?"
"How can that be the same? This is a cannon blade!!"
"Isn't the cannon blade something new to you?"
"yes."
"Then why do you study so diligently and without the slightest slack?"
"How can that be the same? First of all, Paolin was developed by Xiao Qi with so much effort, and she explained it so seriously. How could I not study hard and let Xiao Qi down? Secondly, Paolin is something I need to operate to fight the enemy. If I don't study hard, wouldn't I be courting death? Thirdly, my parents are waiting for me to come back..."
"Don't worry, we'll be back. Do you understand what it means to return in triumph?"
"Okay, okay, go eat your food."
After practicing day and night for several more days, until they could operate the cannon blades with their eyes closed, they nervously climbed the iron ladder and entered their own cannon blades. Once seated in the chairs that Wu Qi had custom-made for them, and with their bodies lifted up, they realized just how important a chair that fit their body perfectly was.
The familiar joystick was right in front of them, but most people didn't dare to reach out and touch it.
The days of being able to navigate the compartments with ease are over; they cannot afford to make a single mistake before going into battle. There is no time left to rebuild a cannon.
This time, Wu Qi didn't participate. She stood at the back, watching the nineteen cannon scales in front of her, waiting for them to move forward and conduct a trial operation. After she stood there for a while, the nineteen cannon scales remained motionless.
Wu Qi asked in bewilderment, "Friends?"
She shouted, "Are you all asleep?"
No one responded.
Wu Qi shouted again, "It's okay, let's move forward, friends!! We can fire the cannons, and we'll replenish them after the trial run!! Let's move!! Or wave to me and acknowledge me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cannon-scale in the very center of the nineteen cannon-scales in front of Wu Qi raised its iron-copper hand and waved it with its back to Wu Qi.
In an instant, Wu Qi was charmed by the cuteness, especially after realizing that the person sitting in the control room of the cannon was Yi Shen. She was almost overwhelmed by the cuteness.
Yi Shen maneuvered the seat upwards until it reached the top. He was dressed in a blue robe and wore a blue veil. A gentle breeze lifted his sleeves, causing the veil to flutter slightly, yet it still concealed his face.
"I'll go first."
Everyone rose from their seats and sat atop the cannon-like structure, glancing at Yi Shen with gratitude, saying:
"Okay, okay, Weichong, you go first, we'll take a look first."
"Yes, yes, I'll think of another way to get Paolin to wave his hand..."
"I need to distinguish between the control stick for firing the cannon and the control stick for protecting the crystal wall. What if I'm confused and fire the cannon instead of protecting the crystal wall in front of me..."
"I need to take a look too."
"Okay, okay, let's go with Wei Chongxian. We'll go through them one by one in a bit."
Wu Qi said, "Alright then, Yi Shenxian, you'll have to go through this one by one in a bit, including how to fire the cannons and how to protect the crystal wall."
"Okay, okay!"
"no problem!"
"Thank God, thank you Weichong and Xiaoqi."
Yi Shen said, "Then I will begin."
Wu Qi nodded with a smile.
He maneuvered the seat back into the cannon fin, and the top closed immediately.
Everyone sat in their seats, watching as Yi Shen, controlling the cannon unicorn, raised its left iron-copper hand, waved it, and lowered it. Then it raised its right iron-copper hand, waved it, and lowered it. Finally, it raised both iron-copper hands together, waved them, and lowered them together.
Watching Pao Lin obediently practice from behind, Wu Qi felt as if he were seeing Yi Shen in the Control Pavilion, and suddenly found him even more adorable, his eyes unconsciously curving upwards.
The cannon unicorn in front of me is jumping, then it starts walking, walking in a straight line to the other side, then curving back to the starting point. After making no mistakes, it turns around and starts running, still walking in a straight line to the other side, then curving back to the starting point.
After everything went smoothly, Paolin walked to the designated location.
Everyone knew that Yi Shen was about to unleash a barrage of attacks, so they all covered their ears.
As expected, a loud "boom" followed, and thick smoke billowed out, mingling with the smoke of gunpowder. Pao Lin silently turned around, returned to her original spot, and bowed slightly. Through the crystal-like wall, Yi Shen saw Wu Qi looking up at her.
He moved a control lever.
The field of vision was constantly shrinking, and the protective crystal wall was tightly blocking it in an attempt to protect it. Yi Shen could not see Wu Qi, but as the crystal wall was being continuously blocked and protected, he manipulated the cannon Scale to make it crouch down.
Then, I pushed the joystick.
The light penetrated the crystal wall and entered the control room, continuing to expand.
Yi Shen was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
After he saw Wu Qi's eyes, which shone like stars, through the crystal wall.
