Chapter 40: The First Mecha Academy



Enter Mingyuan City.

The hovercraft slowed down.

Whoosh! At this moment, there was a sharp and rapid sound, and a flying squadron of three aircraft quickly whizzed past in the sky and came into close contact with their two hovercrafts.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?"

There was the shadow of a plane flying by quickly, the deafening roar, and the excited voice of Du Ruiming coming from the communication channel of the hovercraft.

Lin Tao took a look and saw that it was a machine that looked like some kind of flying bird. He frowned slightly. Well, if he remembered correctly, this machine was named Swept Wing X35 and it was a bionic type of machine.

However, due to flight requirements, this type of aircraft still retains the body of the previous swept-wing aircraft, so it cannot be considered a true bionic aircraft. It is just a special aircraft designed to cater to the bionic type.

In the era of pure mechanical mode, there are still many machines of this type.

"It's the swept-wing X35." Du Ruizhi said, "Compared to a true bionic aircraft, this shape of aircraft has a faster flight speed, but it also has major disadvantages."

Lin Tao was quite surprised. He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw her resting her chin on her hand, examining the machines.

Du Ruizhi, with her flowing short hair, is quite eye-catching when she is lost in thought.

Lin Tao couldn't help but be stunned.

"A swept-wing aircraft requires a large runway to take off. Apart from the military, only large space carriers can retain this type of aircraft."

Du Ruizhi is worthy of being a student of the design department. He can see the advantages and disadvantages of this aircraft at a glance.

Lin Tao smiled without saying anything. Regardless of whether it was a swept wing or a flying wing, due to its shape, when the mecha first appeared, it had a strong advantage in speed. This was also true when the parts modules appeared.

This situation did not change significantly until real neuronal circuits appeared.

Because with the emergence of real neural circuits, the mecha industry has almost ushered in a huge change.

Of course, this is something that only happened in later generations.

Today, this shape of aircraft still dominates air combat.

"Lin Tao, big sister, this is a mecha. This is a real mecha. In our Hyacinth College, apart from the mecha technician department, even our maintenance department has only seen mecha parts." Du Ruiming excitedly.

Du Ruizhi covered her mouth and burst out laughing. She would not tell her brother that the design department could usually touch real mechas. Of course, their contact was mainly for close observation, so it could not be considered real contact.

As a mecha master of later generations, Lin Tao also smiled without saying anything.

Not long after, two hovercrafts arrived at the main gate of the First Mecha Academy.

The main gate of the First Mechanic Academy is almost the same as that of the Hyacinth Academy, both of which are in the form of a triumphal arch. The difference is that the triumphal arch of the First Mechanic Academy is one hundred meters high and nearly fifty meters wide. Even the previous swept-wing X35 can pass through this gate.

As I was watching, suddenly, a flying squadron passed by in the air. They flew at a low altitude, changed their formation in the blink of an eye, and quickly passed through the Arc de Triomphe.

"Huh? Why are there so many people?" At the same time, Du Ruizhi in the back seat suddenly screamed.

Lin Tao was startled and followed her gaze. He saw several middle-aged men standing under the Arc de Triomphe. Beside them, there were many people in formal attire, who seemed to be tutors in the academy.

"What are they doing?" Lin Tao was also suspicious.

We stopped the car at the Arc de Triomphe and just as we opened the door, a group of people from the other side, led by a few middle-aged men, came to meet us.

"Come to see us?" Lin Tao frowned secretly.

However, Du Ruizhi was dumbfounded at this time: "That's...that's the dean of the First Mecha Academy?"

Du Ruizhi almost entered the First Mecha Academy and had learned about the situation there, so he naturally recognized the dean.

"No way, the dean of the First Mecha Academy?" Du Ruiming was shocked.

The dean is here too? Lin Tao frowned even more. They were just ordinary transfer students, and they were transferred from Hyacinth College. They didn't rely on their real grades. How could they attract the dean of the First Mecha College? "You are the students recommended by Instructor Gu Lei, right?"

The middle-aged man who was leading the group was none other than the dean of the First Mecha Academy. He had a kind face and looked at Lin Tao and the others with kindness.

That’s right!

Lin Tao and others were recommended by Professor Gu Lei. Could it be that the dean came out to greet them for this reason?

Lin Tao was confused.

"Huh? Why doesn't Teacher Gu Lei come here in person?" The dean only saw Lin Tao and the other two. He was stunned and then stared blankly into the hovercraft.

There's no one in the car!

Not only was the dean stunned, but the people behind him also started talking.

"Didn't you say that Teacher Gu Lei would take the initiative to reconcile?"

"What's going on? Instructor Gu Lei didn't come, and only sent these three brats?"

"Yeah, could it be that Teacher Gu Lei couldn't save his dignity in the end?"

These people spoke quietly, but their voices could still be heard by everyone from time to time.

"Didn't Instructor Gu Lei say that he would personally send you here? Why didn't he come with us?" Behind the dean, an old man with a half-finger-long white beard walked up to Lin Tao and the others in three or four steps, glaring at them and shouting.

Is this true? Lin Tao frowned. He seemed to have never heard Teacher Gu Lei mention this. Otherwise, he would not have come here with the Du family siblings.

However, what those guys said was really unpleasant. What did they mean by Teacher Gu Lei taking the initiative to reconcile? If that was true, he wouldn't need to leave Mingyuan Star in a hurry.

"Haha~ Professor Gu Lei may be busy and can't leave for the time being, so let you guys come over first?" After a moment of surprise, the dean regained his kind look and laughed.

However, the dean's smile was extremely hypocritical, as if he was forcing a smile. Not only Lin Tao, but also Bian and Du Ruizhi and their brother could notice it.

Du Ruizhi and the other person looked at each other, and their eyes twitched a few times. It turned out that the dean was not waiting for them, but for Instructor Gu Lei.

It's no wonder. Instructor Gu Lei is a person that even the First Mecha Academy is reluctant to let go. If that kind of thing hadn't happened, Instructor Gu Lei wouldn't have been so determined to leave.

It is estimated that this time when Instructor Gu Lei is trying to get someone into the First Mecha Academy, even if he is just a mecha repairman picked up from outside who only knows poor repair techniques, he will be accepted by them.

Because this is a signal that the relationship between the two sides is being repaired.

Thinking of this, the Du siblings stood still and suddenly felt quite embarrassed.

Lin Tao didn't care at all. He didn't come here with the intention of learning knowledge.

Sensing the Dean's strangeness, the old man with a half-finger-long white beard glared again and asked in a condescending manner, "Which one of you applied for the Engine Design Department?"

These words made Lin Tao frown on the spot, because their background would definitely be known thoroughly by others this time. These old men would definitely know who applied for which department. They should even know the fact that Du Ruizhi almost entered the First Mecha Academy.

But at this moment, both the tone and attitude of this white-bearded old man were obviously very deliberate.

Seeing the dean standing beside him, still with a hypocritical smile on his face, Lin Tao felt unhappy on the spot. Without waiting for Du Ruizhi to speak, he stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, old man? Don't you even take a look at our transfer information?"

Uh~ Du Ruizhi, who was thinking about how to start the conversation, was dumbfounded for a moment.

Huh? Du Ruiming's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe it.

Old... old guy? The middle-aged men present were almost shocked and stood still. Even the dean's smile became stiff.

All the instructors present looked at each other, none of them were able to speak.

The old man with a half-finger-long white beard turned red in the face and trembled all over. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Tao: "You...you...you..."

"What about me?" Lin Tao didn't care. Even Du Ruizhi, who kept pulling his sleeve, couldn't stop him.

"Humph!" Finally, the dean reacted. His face darkened and he snorted coldly: "This kid is incorrigible."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The other middle-aged men also shook their heads and most of them left with the dean.

As soon as the dean left, the tutors looked at Lin Tao one by one with strange looks in their eyes, and then they turned and left one by one.

In the end, only three people were left, including an old man with a white beard half a finger long.

The old man with white beard kept saying "you" for a long time, but he didn't know what was going on. He finally endured it. He stared at Lin Tao fiercely, snorted angrily, and then said to Du Ruizhi: "You must be Du Ruizhi, follow me."

"Hey, you old guy are really weird. Why do you want her to go with you?" Lin Tao curled his lips. It turned out that the old man recognized them.

"Lin...Lin Tao..." Du Ruizhi was about to cry, looking aggrieved: "He...he is the head of the engine design department."

Uh~Lin Tao blinked.

Du Ruiming almost fainted on the spot.

They were supposed to enter the First Mecha Academy, but how come they offended the dean and the department head all of a sudden? What can they learn in the future? Moreover, the one who was hit the hardest was his sister's department head. What a joke...

Du Ruiming was speechless for a while.

At this time, another middle-aged man with a goatee came over and asked with a smile, "Are you Lin Tao?"

Lin Tao nodded.

"You guy..." The middle-aged man with a goatee shook his head. Although he was like this, the smile on his face had not faded. "Forget it, you were originally in the Maintenance Department. Why did you apply to the Materials Department when you entered the First Mecha Academy?"

This immediately made the last old man furious: "Is the Materials Department so bad? Without the research of the Materials Department, how can you design mechas? Without mechas, what can your Maintenance Department repair? Repair the air?"

After saying that, he shouted at Lin Tao: "You troublemaker, come here quickly."

Seeing that Lin Tao was still standing there, the middle-aged man with a goatee shook his head and said, "Go ahead. That old guy is the dean of the Materials Department."

It turned out that these three people were responsible for the three departments that Lin Tao and others applied for.
