"Come in." The shop owner held a bowl of hot salted noodles in the middle of the night and opened the door for Wei San.
Wei San was distracted by the aroma of the noodles. After a while, he asked: "Boss, have you got all the materials I want?"
"Yes, 5.69 million star coins. Please settle the bill first."
"It's so expensive, can you give me a discount?"
The shop owner raised his eyelids: "Expensive? Don't you see what materials you bought?"
Wei San was just asking casually. The price of a finished set of broken cloud wings and black crossbows fluctuated between 30 and 50 million star coins. She took 50 million star coins from Qi Anxi and chose the best A-grade materials.
After paying, she walked into the workshop. All the materials were neatly arranged. Wei San released Qi Anxi's mecha and let it lie flat on the operating table.
"What are you going to make?" the shop owner leaned against the door, slurping noodles and asking. According to the list, most of the materials that came in were a bit like making Broken Cloud Wings and Black Crossbows, but there were other parts in there, and no one knew what they were for.
Wei San always felt that the boss was tempting her, so she turned and walked to the door: "Boss, please make way."
The shop owner subconsciously took a step back and left the door, and then saw her slam the door shut: "..."
Many mecha masters don't let outsiders watch, this is normal.
"Ding ding——"
The shop owner walked to a large glass outside the workshop and knocked: "The doors are all closed, and the curtains are drawn."
Wei San looked up and was too lazy to move. She closed the door just because she didn't want to smell the aroma of noodles.
She did not rush to start, but took out a large folded white paper from her bosom and slowly spread it out. There was a ruler inside.
Wei San lifted her foot and hooked a chair to sit down, and began to concentrate on drawing.
"It looks quite realistic." The owner muttered after watching from outside the glass for a while, and turned to do his own orders after finishing his noodles.
The Broken Cloud Wing is a very popular light mecha auxiliary weapon. Because of its popularity, most mecha masters on the market can make it, but due to different craftsmanship and materials, the price fluctuation can be as high as 20 million star coins.
Wei San looked up all the data on the Broken Cloud Wing at school today, including the models in the book, and memorized them all in her mind, but she did not plan to follow the routine.
After reading the information, Wei San had only one thought in his mind: It's a pity to use such a big pair of wings for flying!
The Cloud-Breaking Wings are made up of 462 mixed gold feathers, and the surface is extremely sharp. A powerful person will naturally not only use them for flying. If in close combat, as long as the operator uses them properly, these 462 sharp feathers can be like daggers to attack the opponent.
Light mechas are more suitable for long-range attacks, and Cloud-Breaking Wings and Black Crossbow have always been the best solution for long-range attacks.
Wei San wanted to tinker with the mixed gold feathers and install a small launch device on them to supplement the Black Crossbow. However, the feathers are thin and light, and the recoil caused by shooting must be solved. She buried her head in drawing the general structure of the Cloud-Breaking Wings in her mind, and then drew an enlarged version of a feather.
If there were any skilled mecha masters watching, they would have to marvel at the way the model she drew looked like it was printed. With the development of technology, design is easy, and many basic things can be solved on optical computers. It is rare to see mecha masters like Wei San who draw by hand bit by bit.
To add devices to the feathers, first of all, it must be ensured that the Cloud Breaking Wings can be used normally, and at the same time, the operator must not feel that the weight of the wings is out of range.
Wei San held a pen between her fingers, turning it slowly, staring at the feather and thinking.
She rejected all the plans she had constructed in her mind. No, adding weight to all the feathers would inevitably make the operator aware of it. The light mecha itself is the word "light".
In the end, Wei San overturned all the pattern structures and re-designed them. She changed the 462 feathers of the Cloud-Breaking Wing into 324 feathers of varying sizes. The feathers at the bottom of the wing are large, used to support the skeleton, and the feathers get smaller as they spread outward. At the same time, the firing devices are scattered on the feathers, and can only be closed when the wings are flapped. Each wing can shoot fifty small arrows at a time, a total of ten shots.
After the plan was finalized, Wei San began to make the feathers. One night was definitely not enough. She first assembled the black crossbow and installed it on the mecha. It was estimated that it would take several all-nighters to complete the Cloud-Breaking Wing.
"Boss, I still need 324 feathers, and I have marked the size." At 4:30 in the morning, Wei San came out of the workshop, rolled up the drawing paper and handed it to the owner, "There are also some new parts, which are also written on it." "
Put it there first." The owner lowered his head to modify the parts.
Wei San put the drawings where the shop owner could see them, turned around and left the black factory. He
still had to climb over the wall to get back to school. Fortunately, the sun rises late on Shadu Star, and it was still pitch black at five o'clock.
Wei San quietly climbed back to school and returned to the dormitory as if nothing had happened. He slept for more than an hour and got up to go to class.
In the early morning class, Wei San huddled in the last row, dozing off with his eyes closed, and his mind was still dreaming of splicing the feathers of the Broken Cloud Wings.
After finally getting through the class, Nie Haoqi invited her to the simulation training room, but Wei San directly refused: "No, I may not be feeling well, maybe I'm sick."
Nie Haoqi watched Wei San return to the dormitory building: ...Mecha soldiers can also get sick?
The perception of an A-class mecha soldier is not only to be able to control the mecha, but also to have extremely strong physical fitness. Apart from being injured, no mecha soldier has ever been heard of being sick. They are not as delicate as commanders and do not overuse their brains.
Wei San was lying in the dormitory bunk. She planned to rest for two hours, go to the library to look up the weapons encyclopedia, and then go to training in the afternoon.
She had to earn money for the mecha transformation, but she couldn't fall behind in training too much. She also wanted to upgrade to L3, and she could get 500,000 star coins for winning a game.
After all, it's not always possible to meet someone like Qi Anxi who is rich and easy to talk to.
Wei San hadn't slept for half an hour when someone knocked on the dormitory door.
"Who?" Wei San didn't get up immediately.
"I, Jin Ke."
Wei San opened his eyes and looked at the upper bed board. After watching for a full minute, she got up and opened the door. After Jin Ke came in, she closed the door and lay down again.
She ignored him, but Jin Ke was not embarrassed at all. She sat directly on the bed opposite Wei San, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed.
Wei San ignored him, turned sideways to the wall and closed his eyes to sleep.
"... After all, we have known each other for many years, why don't you ask me what's wrong?" Jin Ke covered her chest, looking very hurt.
"What's wrong with you?" Wei San said perfunctorily, she just wanted to sleep.
Jin Ke sighed: "It's too difficult." She
spoke as if she was the only one who had a difficult time. Wei San thought, she was so poor and she never sighed every day.
"What would you do if you were to face an opponent you were doomed to lose?" Jin Ke suddenly asked.
"Go home," Wei San replied perfunctorily, lacking interest.
"...Not so good, too unambitious." Jin Ke crossed his hands on his legs, "and we have to compete."
Wei San turned over and looked at Jin Ke: "If you really need me to comfort you, I'll give you one thing: just do it. So, my friend who I've known for many years, can you let me sleep for a while now?"
Jin Ke looked at Wei San: "You sleep in broad daylight, and you go out to be a thief at night?"
Wei San, who was hit by the words, asked back: "...Do you have anything else to do?"
Jin Ke shook his head and lay directly on the bed: "I also want to rest for a while, lend me your bed for a while."
"Five thousand star coins." Wei San turned around and faced the wall again, "Remember to transfer it to me."
"Why are you still so stingy?" Jin·Snatching King·Ke complained, then transferred five thousand star coins to Wei San, and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He said he would sleep for two hours, but when Jin Ke disturbed him, Wei San woke up after only one hour of rest. She sat on the bed, propped up her head, and recovered after a while. She wrote a note and left it on his bedside, asking him to leave and close the door.
Before leaving, Wei San turned his head to look at Jin Ke who was still sleeping, and found that he seemed to be thinner than when they met at the beginning of the school year, and his eyes were also dark.
Tsk, I don’t know what the S-level commander learns every day to become like this. However... Jin Ke has always had a good brain, and now there is someone who can make him think that he can’t win. I don’t know how powerful he is.
...
Jin Ke was woken up by the optical computer communication. He got up and looked at the message on the communication, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
Before leaving, he saw the note on the bedside, picked it up and laughed, then found a pen on Wei San's desk and wrote a message under the words: I'll pay for your meal at Canteen 5 tomorrow.
Wei San didn't see the note. She didn't return to the dormitory today. As soon as night fell, she climbed over the wall and prepared to build the main structure of Broken Cloud Wing.
With the first experience of climbing over the wall, Wei San had become much more skilled. He successfully bypassed the guards and came under the wall.
"Here they are again. The guards need to be more vigilant."
"There is no foolproof protection." The man in front of the window said with a smile, "I have nothing to do. I'll go and take a look."
"Major..." The man next to him hesitated to speak.
"You are so brave, maybe you have some ability." The man called the major raised his hand to stop him from persuading, opened the window, and jumped downstairs in the dark like a ghost.
After climbing over the wall, there was a considerable distance from the black factory. Wei San originally ran there. This distance was nothing to her, but as soon as she came out today, she felt something was wrong.
There was an indescribable feeling that there was always someone behind her.
Wei San did not look back, but continued to walk forward, but the direction of his feet changed.
The street was full of lights and wine, and it seemed unusually prosperous at night. Wei San slowed down when he reached the intersection, put his hands in his pockets, and walked straight to a bar with a relaxed look.
"What would you like to drink?" The bartender pushed the menu in front of Wei San.
Wei San ordered a drink casually, and took the opportunity to look behind him, but he didn't see anyone suspicious.
Strange.
Li Pi once said that Wei San had a terrible intuition, and she always believed in her feelings.
Wei San took the wine brought by the bartender, and while drinking it, he chatted with the people next to him "familiarly", as if he had climbed over the wall just to have a carefree night.
In the shadowy corner, looking at the people who climbed over the wall to have fun, he suddenly laughed at himself, thinking that he was too idle.
However, this student was also very idle.
...
Wei San wandered around the bar for half an hour, and only dared to leave after he was sure that the feeling of being observed had disappeared.
When paying the bill, the bartender smiled and said, "16,000 Star Coins."
Wei San asked for the menu to be read again: "..." She just ordered the most expensive one. She
did nothing, but lost 16,000. Wei San felt heartache even when he breathed.
After setting up the main structure of the Broken Cloud Wing in the underground of the black factory, Wei San returned to school in the early morning of the next day. When she returned to the dormitory, she saw the words left by Jin Ke. She put away the note and lay down to rest. She had no idea that when she woke up, the atmosphere of the entire Damocles Military Academy had changed.
