The atmosphere in the conference room on the sixth floor of Qixing Company was extremely tense.
The R&D director stood at the conference table, his brow furrowed, his tone hinting at impatience. Across from him, a middle-aged man, a representative of a downstream parts manufacturer, flipped through the technical drawings on the table, his expression growing increasingly displeased, his brow furrowed deeper, clearly extremely dissatisfied with some of the designs.
"The bearing design you proposed seems feasible in theory, but there are too many problems in actual manufacturing!" The parts supplier slammed the table, his tone revealing long-suppressed dissatisfaction. "This psychic energy transmission path circuit is nearly perfect in theory, but once it enters a real combat environment, the psychic energy capacity of Area D34 is simply insufficient. If we follow your design, the bearing will be damaged in a short time under high load operation, and the psychic energy circuit will not be able to maintain stability at all!"
The R&D director rubbed his brow, a hint of fatigue in his tone. "We've gone through multiple rounds of adjustments, and this is the design that's closest to the target requirements. There are indeed some issues, but if you can optimize the material hardness and the stability of the psychic circuit, it should still be feasible."
The parts supplier sneered and shook his head. "Optimization? Your design was unreasonable from the beginning, and you want me to optimize it? Qixing wants to break through the core technology of Yuanying-level mechas. Of course, we are willing to cooperate, but you can't just work in isolation and put all the responsibility on us, the manufacturers, right?"
The R&D director's patience seemed to have reached its limit. He glanced at the time, his expression growing even colder. "I have more important matters to attend to. You must experiment with this design according to the parameters, and we'll discuss specific adjustments later."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the meeting room, leaving the parts supplier alone to face a pile of headache-inducing technical drawings on the table.
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
The parts supplier stared at the blueprint, lost in thought. Just then, the door to the conference room was gently pushed open, and Xiang Fan walked in.
He had only come to deliver the blueprints, intending to quietly drop them off and leave without drawing any attention. However, before he could speak, the parts vendor across from him, without even looking up, said, "You're just in time. What are your R&D team thinking? Is this bearing solution really that sound?"
Xiang Fan was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party had mistaken him for a member of the R&D team. He opened his mouth to explain that he was just delivering documents, but before he could speak, he couldn't help but look down at the drawings on the table.
After a few seconds, his brows furrowed slightly.
He wasn't a top-tier mecha engineer, but he'd been fascinated by them since childhood. Especially these days, having experienced the repair, modification, and installation of countless mecha parts in the workshop, his understanding of mecha structure far surpassed that of the average mechanic. More importantly, he had a unique "thinking habit"—as soon as he saw a mecha blueprint, he would unconsciously deduce and improve it, looking for possible optimizations.
So Xiang Fan couldn't help but speak.
"This bearing structure... the psychic circuit shouldn't be connected to area D34," he said softly, his finger touching a key connection point on the blueprint. "D34's psychic energy tolerance is indeed problematic under sustained high loads. It should be moved to area C0009. The psychic energy flow here is more stable, and it won't cause overheating."
The parts dealer still didn't look up, but his frown deepened. He subconsciously pondered Xiang Fan's words. After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally raised his eyes and looked at him, his tone scrutinizing. "**Area C0009?** But the psychic energy flow in that area is slower than that in Area D34. Wouldn't that affect the overall psychic energy transmission efficiency?"
Xiang Fan paused briefly, feeling a bit nervous, but he continued to explain calmly, "The psychic energy flow in area C0009 is indeed slightly slower, but it's more stable. The real problem with area D34 isn't its speed, but its insufficient carrying capacity. Long-term high-load operation will cause the internal circuits to overheat and even collapse. If the initial transmission is regulated to area C0009, and then adapted using the intermediate shunt circuit, the overall psychic energy output won't decrease, but will actually increase the durability of the core operation."
The parts dealer's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, his fingers drummed on the table, and hesitation showed in his eyes.
Then, he suddenly picked up the psychic computing terminal and quickly input a series of complex calculation instructions. The data simulation results instantly popped up on the screen. He stared at the jumping numbers, his expression changing from initial confusion to surprise and finally shock.
"This... this plan really works..." the parts dealer muttered, as if he couldn't believe the data he saw.
The parts dealer finally raised his head and his gaze fell on Xiang Fan, who was standing opposite him. There was a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes: "What's your name? Which R&D team are you from?"
Xiang Fan snapped back to his senses, realizing he'd actually been discussing a technical issue with the other party! He panicked, his social anxiety taking over instantly. His face paled slightly, and his voice was so low it was almost inaudible: "Uh... I... I am..."
The parts supplier didn't wait for his reply, his thoughts already drawn away by the technical issues. He pressed on, "Also, regarding the material's hardness. The psychic alloy we're currently using will experience tiny molecular exfoliation under high pressure. Will this affect your optimization plan?"
Xiang Fan suddenly felt his scalp tingle, but under the other party's expectant gaze, he gritted his teeth and held on. After thinking hard for a while, he reluctantly said, "Uh... If it's a problem of molecular layer peeling, perhaps we can try covering the surface with a layer of psychic coating. This will not only reduce losses, but also improve overall stability..."
