This thunderstorm came and went quickly.
Less than ten minutes.
The dark clouds dispersed and the sky became clear.
"It's only raining for a while?" Lin Tao has been living on Earth in the Earth's solar system in his later lives. He was obviously uncomfortable with the weather changes that came suddenly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When I walked outside the rental house and looked up, I saw a wide road about ten meters long, with tall straight trees planted on both sides of the road.
Lin Tao couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the road conditions. In order to allow mechas to be on the road at any time in the future, an ordinary road would have to be at least thirty meters wide.
However, it is now the year 1993 in the Federation calendar, and the main function of mechas is to explore outer space. Moreover, the development level of Mingyuan Star does not seem to be high, so this road condition is normal.
Lin Tao turned his head and looked around.
After the thunderstorm, the streets were wet and muddy, with only a few hovercrafts passing by.
Lin Tao is very patient.
Woo! After a while, a hovercraft passed by. Unfortunately, the car did not put down the empty car sign. It ignored Lin Tao's wave and flew past quickly.
This is no wonder. It is already past eight in the morning, which is the rush hour and the time for the night shift hovercraft to change shifts.
However, when the hover car passed by, Lin Tao still paid attention to the roaring sound of the hover car's engine.
"I never thought that I could see these antique-level hovercrafts." The whistling and loud sound of the mechanical engine made Lin Tao's eyes light up.
Regardless of the era, the structure of the hovercraft has always been consistent with that of the mecha. Although the hovercraft technology of later generations has reached a certain level, this relatively primitive mechanical structure has long been discontinued.
However, just like Taogu, the early hovercraft was also sought after by many mecha warriors of later generations after it was deliberately manufactured.
Because, although these early mechanical structure hovercrafts are not very fast, after being adjusted, they can reach a certain high speed and allow mecha pilots to enjoy it.
That’s right, the reason why mecha masters in later generations are so keen on mechanically constructed hovercrafts is precisely for the enjoyment of it.
The mecha masters of later generations, through a special genetic drug, have their physical bodies reached a certain level. Without any protective gear, they can withstand the impact of huge speeds with their physical bodies alone. This is exactly the pleasure that the mecha masters pursue, and it can bring more adrenaline than a mecha cockpit.
Lin Tao was not surprised and would drive the hover car out for a few laps from time to time.
But now...
Lin Tao felt the condition of his body and frowned. This body was quite weak. Not to mention the high speed after adjustment, even if the hovercraft of this period was driven at the maximum speed, it would probably be difficult to withstand.
Lin Tao continued to extend his hand.
After about ten minutes, a hovercraft finally arrived.
"Medicinal materials market." Lin Tao said after sitting down.
Mecha warriors of later generations are divided into two types, one is the ancient martial arts warrior system, and the other is the genetic warrior system.
The so-called ancient martial arts warrior system has been practicing ancient martial arts since childhood, using the power of ancient martial arts to operate the mecha. The ancient martial arts warrior system can make the mecha perform very flexible maneuvers, and can even make certain changes to the body according to the ancient martial arts habits they have practiced, and launch attack methods similar to those of real warriors.
However, the ancient martial arts warrior system requires a certain talent for ancient martial arts and super reaction ability, and not everyone is suitable for this.
As for the genetic warriors, although they are not born to be ancient martial arts warriors, they are able to use chip macro commands to perform difficult movements. To this end, they take genetic drugs to increase their physical strength so as to adapt to the impact of difficult movements on their bodies.
The genetic warrior system is inherently weaker than the ancient martial arts warrior system, but they can be mass-produced, which makes them very suitable for times of war. If it weren't for the large number of such warriors appearing, future humans might not be able to hold the last line of defense.
Of course, genetic medicine also has a certain auxiliary effect on the ancient martial arts warrior system, but genetic medicine is not suitable for excessive use, otherwise it will bring huge side effects, thus completely destroying people mentally.
In addition to studying various side jobs on mechas, Lin Tao also put in some effort in genetic medicine.
Although this body is weak and seemingly hopeless, as long as Lin Tao successfully formulates a genetic medicine, he can completely solve this problem at the basic level.
This is exactly why Lin Tao came to the medicinal materials market.
After getting off the hovercraft, Lin Tao was stunned again.
In addition to communication, ID card and microcomputer functions, electronic watches can also be bound to bank accounts.
When Lin Tao was transferring money to the hover car master, he discovered that there were only 12,500 star coins left in his bank account.
12500 Star Coins.
In the memories that emerged in Lin Tao's mind, it was not even enough to cover the tuition for one semester at Hyacinth College. Not only that, the cheap rental house alone required 3,000 star coins every month.
This does not include food and other expenses.
"How did that guy survive?" Lin Tao let out a long sigh. He didn't understand what kind of life the original owner of this body led.
"Oh, right." Lin Tao suddenly remembered that the original owner of this body seemed to know how to repair mechas, and usually earned his income by repairing mechas for others.
Not long.
Lin Tao came out of the medicinal materials market with a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
After asking about the price, Lin Tao discovered that even the cheapest materials for the genetic medicine he wanted to synthesize would cost far more than the amount in the watch bank account, and this did not include the cost of the required equipment.
"Trouble, it seems I have to get some money back first."
Lin Tao raised his hand in distress and looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock.
"Forget it, let's go back to Hyacinth College first." Thinking of the angry tutor, Lin Tao decided to go to Hyacinth College first.
Another hovercraft was summoned.
Sitting in the hovercraft, Lin Tao no longer had the excitement he had at the beginning. All he could think about was how to make some money. Although he had stronger mecha repair technology, Lin Tao didn't know how to take orders, which was a troublesome matter.
As long as this body with hidden disease is not cured, Lin Tao will not be able to increase his training in ancient martial arts.
Hyacinth College, the largest mecha college in Anzheng City, is also one of the more famous mecha colleges in the entire Mingyuan Star. The triumphal arch shape of the school gate alone is extremely imposing.
Lin Tao's mind was not here. He quickly glanced at the school gate and passed through the gate scanner on the side.
Beep!
The student information related to Lin Tao was immediately displayed.
"This guy, he came so late, doesn't he know that there is only one class left before school is over?"
"Never mind. There are always students like this who don't take their studies seriously. When they get older, they will regret it."
The two elderly guards near the school gate looked at Lin Tao and shook their heads.
Hyacinth College is very large, and each department has a building over a hundred meters high. The Maintenance Department is located in the northwest of the college.
In the Mecha Academy of this period, apart from mecha technicians, the department with the largest number of students enrolled was the Mecha Maintenance Department, because mecha technicians had to pay expensive tuition fees every semester, which was not something that ordinary people could afford.
In comparison, not only is the tuition for mecha maintenance lower, but skilled repairmen are also the talents that major mecha maintenance points are competing for. Those with decent skills can quickly recover the tuition fees of these years.
For this reason, the Maintenance Department of Hyacinth College has a total of one hundred classes, almost one class per floor, far more than other departments.
Lin Tao's class is Class 97.
Don’t think that Class 97 can be on the 97th floor. The classes above are all top students, so Class 97 is only on the 7th floor, barely better than the classes behind it.
All the way to the classroom door.
It was during the break and there were only about ten people in the classroom.
Perhaps students in the Maintenance Department rarely greet each other, or perhaps the owner of this body rarely interacts with other students. After Lin Tao entered, no one greeted him.
Lin Tao didn't take it seriously. He walked into the classroom and found a seat at random.
The desks of this era, like those of later times, were embedded with a microcomputer, which allowed students to easily find textbook material for review.
After Lin Tao sat down, his hands quickly operated the microcomputer, checking the information about the mechas of this era.
The information on the maintenance department was all related to mecha maintenance. After reading it for a while, Lin Tao suddenly lost interest.
Ding ding ding! The bell rang, and students appeared from nowhere and returned to the classroom quickly like a tide.
"Huh? It's that kid Lin Tao."
"How dare this guy come back?"
At this moment, two students with dyed blonde hair who looked like gangsters accidentally saw Lin Tao after entering the classroom. They were startled and their faces turned gloomy.
After not seeing him for three days, they thought Lin Tao was scared and didn't dare to come back. Unexpectedly, after only three days, he came back to the academy in a swagger.
"Hmph! We have offended Young Master Liu, yet you still dare to come back to class? It's obvious that you don't take us seriously." One of the students with blond hair and triangular eyes looked as if he wanted to swallow Lin Tao.
"By the way, didn't Young Master Liu open a new mecha center? We'll take him there later and use him to do some exercises first." The other man rolled his eyes.
"Chi Zhengfei, are you stupid? The mecha center opened by Young Master Liu is quite high-end. It costs over ten thousand star coins an hour. Is it worth it just to kill him a few times?" The blond student with triangular eyes was stunned.
"Hehe~" the student called Chi Zhengfei laughed sinisterly: "He Fan, you are not scared silly by Liu Shao? We take him over, but pay a deposit, and after he gambles a few times, we will connect his account to the gambling area and let him gamble a few times like an idiot. When he owes tens of millions, let's see how he can continue to jump around."
"Chi Zhengfei, you are really something. At this rate, he probably won't even be able to get out of Master Liu's mecha center." The blond student called He Fan also laughed strangely in a low voice.
Not long after, when most of the students had returned to their seats, a pretty woman in her twenties, wearing a white uniform and a ponytail, walked into the classroom holding an electronic notebook in her hand.
She frowned her pretty eyebrows, and her sharp eyes on her gloomy face first glanced at the electronic roster on the podium.
The electronic roster shows the attendance status of each student.
As if she had noticed something, she suddenly raised her head and looked around. After seeing Lin Tao's figure, she frowned like a crescent moon, and then slowly relaxed her eyebrows.
"Okay, now our lesson is about the maintenance of mecha joints."
The woman's voice was icy, and her expressionless face and cold eyes made her look like a piece of ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years. No one dared to look at her any more.
Of course, this only applies to ordinary students. Most of the students in this class, especially the boys, especially the two blond students, had eyes like hungry ghosts, all fixed on the curvy figure of this girl, especially the breasts.
"Is it her?"
After the woman entered, Lin Tao also looked up and was immediately shocked.
