"Brother Fang, can you...can you give me a little more? This amount is really not enough."

Meeting Master Gu Lei and his companions again, Lin Tao was in a good mood and his appetite was also great. He had not eaten for more than twenty hours and was already starving.

“More… more?” The guy sitting nearby swallowed.

The burly shop owner's name is Fang Ke. In their early years, he and Liu Xueying studied under Gu Lei. Unfortunately, he failed to make any achievements in maintenance, so he had to run back to his hometown and opened a bun shop.

Hearing that Lin Tao still didn't have enough, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Twenty more cages."

As he said this, he slapped his head again and quickly raised his watch: "Junior Brother Lin Tao, I didn't know we were from the same sect before. I, your senior brother, still want to take your money. Come on, I'll transfer it back to you."

Lin Tao waved his hands repeatedly: "No, you still have to do business. If I eat up all the food, do you still want to do this business?"

"Brother Lin Tao, I saw that you had more than 20 baskets, and I was afraid that you would waste them, so I increased the price fivefold. Besides, these buns didn't cost much..."

Before he could finish, Lin Tao smiled and pointed at the waiter: "If you don't care, do you think your waiters have to pay for it themselves?"

To be honest, tens of thousands of star coins are nothing to Lin Tao. There are nearly 1 billion star coins in his watch, which is the money he earned from Skynet.

If you count the money from reselling K223, a mere tens of thousands of star coins is nothing but a drop in the bucket.

“Just take it.” Master Gu Lei heard it and understood Lin Tao’s intention. He quickly waved his hand at Fang Ke and said, “Fang Ke, tens of thousands of star coins are nothing to this kid. Don’t forget, K223 was designed by him.”

Since Master Gu Lei had spoken, Fang Ke did not shirk his responsibility any more. After all, a K223 was worth half a billion yuan, and Lin Tao had sold quite a number of K223s, so he had wealth like a wealthy family.

Fang Ke was in a good mood. After thinking for a while, he called the waiter over and said, "Show your sign and take a break today. Pack up everything later and send the extra food to Yang's Martial Arts Hall."

"Really taking a break?" The waiter was greatly surprised. Their breakfast shop only closes for less than one day a year.

"It's rare to have a day off in a year. Since you've encountered something happy, just take a day off." Fang Ke waved his hand indifferently. Besides, he also received 30,000 star coins from Lin Tao, which was more than his usual day's income.

"Well, I'll give you double the salary this month." Fang Ke was so happy that he waved his hand.

"Okay." The guy smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and quickly ran away to make arrangements.

After hearing Fang Ke's words, Lin Tao's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Fang, do you know anyone from Yang's martial arts school?"

"Of course I know him. I'm now a member of the Yang Family Martial Arts School. As soon as I finish my work here, I will go over and practice a few skills. What? Junior Brother Lin Tao, are you also planning to find Master Yang to practice the Yang Family Spear?" Fang Ke was stunned.

Hearing this, Master Gu Lei frowned slightly, and Liu Xueying also looked puzzled.

Lin Tao is a talented person in the field of mecha. He is good at both design and maintenance, and he is also an amazingly powerful mecha master. If he changes his career halfway, wouldn't that be a huge waste of a talent in the field of mecha?

"I came to Gat Star with this plan this time." Lin Tao nodded.

Master Gu Lei's face turned cold: "Lin Tao, more haste makes waste. Besides, you majored in mecha knowledge. Why are you learning ancient martial arts for no reason? Aren't you distracting yourself too much?"

Liu Xueying also advised: "Lin Tao, don't waste your talent in mecha."

“Junior Brother Lin Tao, you…” Fang Ke also frowned.

How could Lin Tao not understand their intention? He just smiled and said, "I am researching a new type of mecha. If it succeeds, I can combine ancient martial arts with mecha combat. In this way, the power of the mecha will be increased by more than ten times than it is now."

“How is it possible—” Master Gu Lei screamed, but before he could finish his words, it was as if his neck was pinched, and he couldn’t speak for a long time.

After leaving Mingyuan Star, he contacted Tian Zhi again and learned about Lin Tao's situation. You know, if he had known that Lin Tao had such a talent in mecha, he would never leave Mingyuan Star so easily.

In terms of engine, frame, and even the whole machine design, this requires excellent mecha technology! Even Gu Lei himself could not do this.

If he could accept Lin Tao as his disciple, perhaps he could solve the problem that troubled him throughout his life.

How can a famous teacher not have famous disciples?

Although Liu Xueying has certain talents, she is nothing compared to Lin Tao.

Lin Tao is not only known as a mecha genius on Mingyuan Star, he also has another title, that is, the Son of Miracle. In the eyes of the people of Mingyuan Star, there is nothing that Lin Tao cannot do.

Just like K223, the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang, Jifeng Phoenix, and the huge mecha 'Lan'! Putting aside the mecha, even with a space giant warship, Lin Tao can solve the joint attack from the three giants, and he can also seize hundreds of space giant warships after the war.

This kind of ability means that Lin Tao not only has talent in mechas, but also has certain talents in combat.

Master Gu Lei had no doubt that as long as Lin Tao said he could do it, he would be at least 90% sure.

Liu Xueying was also an understanding person. She didn't say a word at this time, but her eyes were always fixed on Lin Tao. As a maintenance engineer with the ability to design mechas, she naturally knew what such a new type of machine represented.

But the question before us is how can this be achieved? The combination of ancient martial arts and mecha is simply unheard of!

"Junior Brother Lin Tao, can mechas really be combined with ancient martial arts?" Fang Ke, who had also been exposed to mecha design, asked in disbelief.

Lin Tao smiled. Mechas can naturally be combined with ancient martial arts. This is also the origin of ancient martial arts mecha masters in later generations.

However, he would not make any promises at this time. After all, to achieve this step, a lot of mecha technology would be needed, and perhaps some strange things that the Interstellar Federation has not yet discovered.

"I am also in the speculation stage and have not yet fully implemented it." Lin Tao said.

It turns out that it has not been implemented yet. Master Gu Lei nodded secretly. Although he felt that this might be possible, it is extremely difficult to succeed.

"Lin Tao." At this moment, Liu Xueying's heart moved. She operated on her watch for a while and found a piece of information. Then she looked at Lin Tao and said with a smile: "Tell me the truth, is it possible to realize this thing you gave me?"

This information is exactly the paper that Lin Tao handed over to Liu Xueying through Master Gu Lei.

"You haven't studied it thoroughly yet?" Lin Tao was stunned. He remembered that this information was released by Liu Xueying herself. It could be said that he just copied Liu Xueying's later papers in historical materials, and then covered up part of it to make the information unclear.

However, with Liu Xueying's ability, she would be able to fully understand the paper and publish it in one or two years at most.

"Who said you haven't studied it thoroughly?" Master Gu Lei's face was serious. "Xiao Xueying is quite capable in this area. In less than half a year, she has already completely mastered it. If I hadn't kept pressing on, it would have been announced by now."

"Then..." Lin Tao was puzzled.

"This is something you gave us. After all, this honor does not belong to Xiao Xueying." Master Gu Lei said in a deep voice.

Lin Tao understood immediately and couldn't help but admire Master Gu Lei from the bottom of his heart. However, this information really belonged to his mentor Liu Xueying in the future.

After touching his nose, Lin Tao said, "Actually, I only provided a framework for this information. I haven't studied the contents yet."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Xueying's expression suddenly became embarrassed, and Master Gu Lei's expression was also very ugly.

"Lin Tao, are you lying to me? Do you dare to say that you haven't fully understood this information?" Liu Xueying's face turned pale.

"Extreme Wind Phoenix, your Extreme Wind Phoenix was produced when the three major families launched a joint attack. Do you really think I don't know that this Extreme Wind Phoenix adopts the design method in this information?" Master Gu Lei's tone gradually became cold.

Ugh! Lin Tao was embarrassed. He really had forgotten about the Extreme Wind Phoenix.

Needless to say, this must have been the information leaked by Department Head Tian Zhi. This guy must be charged with leaking confidential information when he returns.

Although the Polar Wind Phoenix uses the Kongli's shell, it has thoroughly implemented a modular parts production model in its production. It can be said that this is definitely the first machine in the Human Interstellar Federation that adopts a modular parts production model, and it is also the first machine to implement this information.

"I also gave this information to Tong Xuelin and Peng Haokong. As you know, they all like to tinker with some things, like the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang." Lin Tao laughed dryly.

"Lin Tao, although I was once your mentor, this information was researched by you, so this honor cannot fall on me." Liu Xueying said, and immediately transferred the information back to Lin Tao through her watch.

Lin Tao took a rough look and found that the information had been greatly revised and was almost exactly the same as the information released by Liu Xueying in later generations.

Sure enough, Liu Xueying was the real initiator of modular parts.

"You should announce it first."

Lin Tao shook his head: "If I want reputation, I don't need this information. I can be unique in other aspects. But you can see that I have no intention of showing my skills."

"Why?" Master Gu Lei frowned.

Liu Xueying was also confused, and Fang Ke scratched his head.

If a mecha designer wants to leave his name in future history, then he must publish some technical papers. If he keeps withholding them, he will not be recognized unless he develops some mechas that can bring about changes in the entire human interstellar federation.
