Chapter 19
Since there was no clear conclusion to the last incident, for the sake of safety and to prevent other people from getting hurt, although the admiral wanted to find a reason to increase contact, he finally chose to give up. This also allowed Lin Han to regain a brief period of peace.
The empire has been relatively peaceful recently, but the research institute cannot stop for a moment.
Lin Han began to work with his colleagues to design and modify the latest batch of mechas that would be used on a large scale by the military.
At this time, the advantage of mental power was revealed. Although he could not directly connect with the mecha's core like Alpha and transform into a sharp blade, Lin Han's concentration and design and manufacturing capabilities were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
He entered the research institute for internship before graduating from the Imperial Army University. When he was doing his master's degree, he worked directly with his teacher to create the tenth-generation QT mecha that is now used on a large scale in the Empire's front-line battles. The fuel consumption remains unchanged, and the performance is more than doubled that of the previous generation. The most important thing is that it is easy to operate and does not require a lot of mental strength to control.
This batch of mechas replaced the previous generation on a large scale after being deployed in the army. They fully demonstrated their effectiveness in a battle with the Zerg a few years ago - they were able to resist many of the Zerg's highly corrosive venoms, and could also withstand most of the Zerg's sharp foot blades. Even if you encounter a high-level Zerg that you cannot deal with, the internal pilot automatic escape system can protect people's safety to the greatest extent.
The cause of that war has become impossible to verify in the public's mouth. Perhaps there was an element of discord instigated by neighboring countries or space pirates, but most people say that it was the Zerg's brutal and murderous nature that led them to take the initiative to provoke trouble. The Zerg leader did nothing and allowed many low-level and medium-level Zerg to hurt the civilians of the empire. The empire could not tolerate the other side's repeated provocations, which led to the battle that year.
There were two decisive factors that led to the great victory of that battle.
One is the newly launched tenth-generation QT mecha, and the other is the head coach He Yunting.
Many people talked about that battle with great relish. He Yunting's warship had limited capacity, and the Zerg's combat power was almost twice as strong as his. However, the final result was that He Yunting won an overwhelming victory and gave the entire empire a stunning answer.
The war ended faster than anyone had imagined. Unable to withstand the fierce attacks in recent days, the Zerg took the initiative to propose a truce, and to show their sincerity they even offered a lot of resources unique to the Zerg Star.
Looking at the interstellar world, resources are always the first factor to be fought for.
The Empire accepted the Zerg's goodwill and won a great victory. Lin Han successfully improved his status in the research institute because of this batch of mechas, and the name He Yunting has since become a kind of power and a symbol.
As long as they think of him, the empire will be invincible.
Everyone believed this blindly and proudly.
It was also that battle that made the peace faction and the radical faction in the empire even more irreconcilable.
The peace faction believed that since the war had ended and Zerg Star had shown signs of goodwill, not to mention that there were many rich resources on Zerg Star that were suitable for establishing diplomatic relations, there was no need to kill all the Zerg Stars, which would be a severe disaster for the civilians of both galaxies. The radical Luo Qi took the lead in denouncing the move in parliament, saying that it was a cowardly act and that the empire's military strength was far superior to that of Zerg Star. It was really unnecessary to be so timid and it would be better to directly occupy a piece of land on Zerg Star and expel the remaining Zerg to another galaxy a billion light-years away. Only in this way could they rest assured.
The radicals said that if the soldiers led by He Yunting were so timid, the sharp sword of the empire would lose its due brilliance.
There are also rumors that some fanatical radicals said that it was just a two-person mecha with no name, and if someone else drove it, it might not be He Yunting.
But those are just rumors.
Lin Han finished the coffee brought by the trainee and finally took a break from the high-intensity mental work.
But he still held the blueprint in his hand, his mind working non-stop.
Shen Xiunan's task this time was different from Lin Han's. When he was done, Lin Han was still sitting motionless.
Seeing that he had been working continuously for a long time, Shen Xiu Nan couldn't bear it and walked over to remind him: "Do you want to take a break? Anyway, this design is not urgent, and you can wait until the lower-level mecha engineer has finished the design before modifying it, which saves time and effort."
Lin Han looked at the blueprint without looking up and said, "I'm wondering if we should add vortex railguns to this batch of mecha arms."
Chen Xiu Nan almost thought he had heard it wrong: "Isn't this a light mecha? It's not as heavy as heavy armor, and it needs to be mass-produced. If each one is equipped with a vortex railgun, it will undoubtedly become heavier and more expensive. The key is, how do you design it so that it can be embedded in it..."
Lin Han pursed his lips and thought: "Let me think about it again."
He also knew that ordinary light armor should not be used for this.
But these two days he kept thinking about the injury on He Yunting's shoulder and the strangers who tried to hurt him one after another.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the current peace was too... too cheap.
It's not that he doesn't value peace. On the contrary, he always feels that the current peace seems very fragile. Even if it looks calm, it is like a thin glass bridge that is fragile. Just a sharp object can pierce this layer of beauty.
Everyone knows that He Yunting has just returned triumphantly after catching the star pirates, but no one knows that someone tried to blow up M2742 by self-destructing it; everyone knows that the emperor held a celebration banquet for him, but no one knows that someone tried to fish in troubled waters and steal the spiritual power sample belonging to the admiral...
How can we call it peaceful and stable if something like this can happen even at the prince's dinner party?
As Lin Han thought so, his fingers holding the pen made a new mark on the drawing.
Did He Yunting find out the murderer? Any clue?
Although I said I could help, there was no close relationship between us after all, and the other party might not trust me.
Lin Han felt a little complicated.
He used to hate this ability that appeared out of nowhere, but now he hopes that this ability can help others to the best of his ability.
Beneath the beautiful scenery, there is a storm.
-
He Yunting's team, who was waiting for further test reports on the deceased omega, was temporarily back on track.
And recently it happened to be the annual pilot selection training camp held at the Mecha Base.
The mecha age is different from the Earth century which required infantry and cavalry. The empire does not enforce conscription because the entire empire generally has a strong desire to be strong, and many people even set becoming an excellent pilot as their life goal.
However, being a pilot is not easy at all, and it is even more difficult if you want to enter He Yunting's mecha base.
First, you are not an omega; second, your physical fitness score must be at least A; third, your mental strength score cannot be too low.
Only when you meet the above three points will you have the qualifications to enter. The various jaw-dropping high-intensity tests and training that you will face afterwards will screen out batches of people. In the end, only less than one in a thousand qualified soldiers can enter the mecha base and start as the most basic pilot.
"It's only the first round of screening and half of them are gone," Lu Anhe said worriedly as he watched the real-time video data from the United Front Department. "Is it possible that they won't even be able to select 30 people in the end?"
As the last link of this selection, He Yunting looked coldly at those people on the electronic screen who claimed that they wanted to contribute to the empire, but in the end could not even pass the test of mecha balance, and frowned.
Lu Anhe knew that He Yunting would be the most angry on this day every year: "I asked the two bases below to keep a close eye on it. There will always be someone who can do the job."
He Yunting kept his lips straight and did not comment.
Generally, there are not many people left after passing two rounds of screening. At that time, these newcomers can try to drive mechas.
At this time, in order to avoid unexpected situations, one or two mecha technicians are usually invited to debug and repair the mecha to prevent other losses.
Lu Anhe suddenly caught the blind spot.
In case, maybe, maybe...
"Mr. Lin recently..."
"It's time to find a debugger."
He and He Yunting spoke at the same time.
It was obvious that He Yunting had also thought about this.
After a moment of silence, Lu Anhe silently picked up the communicator: "I know, I'll do it."
He Yunting's eyes finally became a little kinder as he looked at the group of clumsy recruits.
-
Lin Han had just finished his nutritional supplements for today when he received the call from Lu Anhe.
After Lu Anhe made his request, he waited patiently: "Mr. Lin, you can consider it carefully. It will not affect your other routines. There are also nutritional supplements in the base, so don't worry."
He had heard of this job before. It was easier than staying in the research institute, and it would not affect his normal work. The base would set aside an office for him so that the mecha engineer could design the machines and he would only need to show up when debugging and repairs were needed.
Moreover, the subsidy for this job is very generous, so every year there are people who volunteer to sign up at the institute and then wait for the base to screen and make the decision.
I didn't expect that this year it was the adjutant who took the initiative to extend the olive branch.
Lin Han took a look at the drawing in his hand.
Some ideas have been stuck for several days and I have no idea why.
The base is now using the tenth generation QT, which I once participated in designing. If I go there, maybe I can come up with some new ideas.
Lin Han twirled his pen and was about to reply when he suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Anhe on the other end, "Did the general ask me to come?"
Lu Anhe turned on the loudspeaker and said seriously under He Yunting's expression: "No, no, this is a sincere invitation from all the staff of our base."
He Yunting: “…………”
"Oh," Lin Han said, "Let me think about it."
Lu Anhe was exhausted both physically and mentally, and felt that his life was really difficult: "Mr. Lin..."
"Is the general next to you?" Lin Han asked Lu Anhe.
Lu Anhe said seriously, "Not here."
Lin Han believed it and breathed a sigh of relief. He then asked Lu Anhe in detail whether it would affect his current design. After getting a satisfactory answer, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to the institute tomorrow."
Lu Anhe thought he saw the dawn of victory and said quickly: "Okay, thank you Mr. Lin!"
"By the way," Lin Han was about to hang up the phone, but then thought about the fact that He Yunting was not around, "I want to ask Lieutenant Colonel Lu a question personally."
"Mr. Lin, please speak."
Lin Han twirled the pen with his fingers and asked softly, "I'm still very curious about what the general thinks of me. Lieutenant Colonel Lu, just tell me. I won't tell the general."
Lu Anhe glanced desperately at He Yunting who was “absent the entire time”: “This…”
He began to wink at He Yunting, meaning, Boss, you think about how to explain it.
He Yunting was also a little confused, but he quickly reacted and took two steps closer to Lu Anhe.
He simply wanted to find paper and pen to write answers for Lu Anhe.
As a result, when he just walked over, Lu Anhe accidentally pressed the video button on the communicator in order to avoid it.
"Fuck!" Lu Anhe had no time to withdraw the request, as it had already been sent.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lu?"
Suddenly, a video call request popped up on Lin Han's communicator. He didn't know why Lu Anhe suddenly decided to say it in this way, but he still clicked to agree. The communicator lit up and a virtual light screen popped up.
So Lin Han saw Lu An and He Yunting, who he said was "not around", on the other side of the screen.
“…”
“…”
“…”
A moment of silence.
Lu Anhe, who was slapped in the face in seconds, was filled with sorrow, while He Yunting and Lin Han stared at the screen.
The air is filled with the scent of "joy".
Fortunately, Lin Han reacted quickly: "Since the general wants to speak for himself, that's fine."
"What do you think of me?"
Lin Han spoke leisurely to the video screen thousands of miles away.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
When Lin Han thought that He Yunting would not answer this question and planned to skip it.
He Yunting, who had been keeping a straight face, finally spoke.
"Mr. Lin... is very beautiful."
He Yunting really didn't know what to say, but didn't want to keep Lin Han waiting too long, so he blurted out what he wanted to say.
“…………” Before Lin Han could react, Lieutenant Colonel Lu, who had witnessed the whole process in the corner of the United Front Department, turned pale and held his forehead in despair.
...It’s better not to say this!
Lin Han was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips at the other end of the screen.
He Yunting looked at the young man on the electronic screen. He should still be in the research institute. Behind him was a pile of densely packed and complex electronic boards. He curled his lips in the midst of this group of cold data, looking more and more vivid.
The young man's eyes were bright, as if he was thinking about something.
"Then the general asked me to do the mecha debugging just because I'm beautiful?"
"Of course not." He Yunting's face was tense and he answered quickly this time.
"What is that?"
He Yunting glanced at Lu Anhe who was sitting in the corner.
Due to their positions, Lu Anhe was outside Lin Han's field of vision. Lin Han could only see He Yunting's face, but not Colonel Lu, who was standing next to him with a very expressive look on his face, wanting to make fun of his boss but not daring to laugh too much.
He Yunting withdrew his gaze and his expression became even colder.
Lu Anhe felt something was wrong at this moment.
He won’t... again?
"Because," He Yunting said coldly, "Lu Anhe's mecha is broken."
"——This time it's really broken."
This time, Lin Han couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed out loud on the screen.
He Yunting, male, 29 years old, is in great crisis.
Apart from dismantling his adjutant's mecha with his bare hands, he could not find a better way to invite Mr. Lin to the base to repair and debug the mecha.
The author has something to say: Lao He: You are so beautiful (sounds like the Huanong brothers)
Woo woo woo because it’s so thick and long! One hour late! Send out 50 red envelopes as compensation. Thank you all for the nutrient solution and thunder! bow!
