The first day back at the school, I happened to catch up with the practical class.
This was Gu Qi's first time entering the machinery manufacturing base, which was so large that it had six floors in total.
The sixth floor is Master Ming's own studio, and the fifth floor is where his students work.
All the ordinary mechas in Shouzong were created by them.
The mechanic department usually has activities in the first four floors, and all the mechanical parts mentioned in the course should be available. And the mechanical products made in the practical class can be taken away by yourself.
Gu Qi had already completed all the contents of the mechanic course at an early stage, and had made all the machines that interested her at the 1248 Military Academy. Of course, in the end, all of them became the property of the academy.
So when others were excited to start looking for parts to make what they wanted, she had no interest at all.
After a long while, Lu Zhifeng had completed half of the work and was ready to try out the heavy machine gun that Gu Qi had made last time.
Having maintained the same posture for too long, he stood up and stretched his body, only to see Gu Qi leisurely passing by.
"You haven't decided what to do yet?" Lu Zhifeng was worried that she might have forgotten that the practical class rules required everyone to hand in their work, otherwise they would get zero points at the end of the school year.
Gu Qi glanced at his desk, took out a small object from his pocket and threw it to him casually.
Although I was startled by her sudden action, I still reacted quickly and caught it.
He looked down and saw that it was a remote-controlled bomb.
He opened his mouth and closed it again, looked up at the relaxed figure's back and could not utter a word.
Should he be amazed at her ability to do everything, or should he be speechless that she threw a bomb at him so casually?
Gu Qi was not worried at all. Anyway, the bomb would not explode unless she pressed the button. It was just a small toy at most.
The practical classes are quite free. Except that you cannot leave the mechanical manufacturing base, you can watch them at will on the first four floors.
Gu Qi took the elevator directly to the fourth floor. The fourth floor was filled with all the failed mechas made by previous first-class students, and it was built as a separate exhibition hall.
The purpose is to prevent the younger generation from making the same mistakes.
Once you reach the fourth floor, the latest failed items are at the door, and the items get older as you go deeper.
Gu Qi simply ignored the front and walked straight inside.
It is said that it contains the first generation of [God of Killing], which was the failed product of Master Ming's first attempt at an S-class mecha.
Sure enough, this mecha was placed in a separate area, separated from all other mechas.
Gu Qi raised his head and looked carefully from the head down, and the more he looked, the more surprise appeared in her eyes.
This mecha is perfect from head to toe. There is nothing to complain about in terms of appearance or the joints of each part.
Even if you compare it to the mecha at the door that has mastered the most advanced technology, it is not inferior at all.
Gu Qi had always heard of Master Ming's name, but this was the first time she truly admired him as a genius.
She sat cross-legged on the floor and took out a notebook from the space device.
This is her practical class!
She wanted to write down all the information she saw on this mecha.
She wrote a lot in a very eloquent way, and the more I got to know her, the more focused she became.
"Where did this fail?"
She thought about everything she could think of, and except for the problems detected by the test, there was nothing wrong with the rest. She was lost in thought and couldn't help but ask the question.
“This is a finished product.”
A voice suddenly sounded behind him. Gu Qi stood up quickly and turned to face the person in a defensive posture.
She was really frightened, and then she realized that cold sweat broke out on her back.
I have become more and more lax recently.
She cursed herself in her heart.
But when she saw the person coming, her vigilance gradually disappeared and she bowed respectfully.
"Hello, Master Ming. I am Gu Qi from the Mechanical Class 1 who is here for the practical class today."
Master Ming obviously knew her. He looked younger than his age, but his steps were still steady.
"Can I see your notes?" He pointed to the notebook in Gu Qi's hand.
"Of course."
Master Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after reading it, but the shock in his heart far exceeded his expression.
He had heard of Gu Qi's name from his grandson a long time ago, and the principal had mentioned to him that this student had actually invented a grade blocker that, according to observations, could block up to grade A.
He had tried, but he couldn't do it to her level.
He had developed a strong interest in her earlier, but he had been busy testing the "Successor" for some time and had not had time to look for her.
If he hadn't sensed that presence, he wouldn't have come to the fourth floor and wouldn't have met her.
Not to mention discovering in this notebook her talent that surpassed that of his apprentice.
Master Ming looked at her in surprise: "Come with me."
Gu Qi was stunned, not quite understanding what it meant.
But I still followed him and took his exclusive elevator all the way to the sixth floor.
When Gu Qi stepped out of the elevator and took a look, he was a little surprised.
Because it was really too messy, there were so many parts piled on the ground that there was almost no place to stand, and a half-finished mecha was lying there not far away.
When she saw that, her eyes lit up, simply because the mecha was so beautiful.
The body of the device is a clear blue color that glows faintly under the light. Even though it is a semi-finished product, you can see how delicate the craftsmanship is in every detail.
"This is a mecha made for Qi Ming. It's still being debugged," Master Ming explained.
"So this is also an S-class mecha?"
Master Ming shook his head and returned the notebook to her.
“You can think it is, or you can think it isn’t.”
Gu Qi was very surprised by this statement, and she looked at Master Ming with her sparkling eyes eagerly.
Master Ming smiled kindly, as if he saw the look in his disciple's eyes long ago.
The same purity, the same passion for mecha.
"Do you know what is the most important thing for every Union soldier?" Instead of answering directly, he asked another seemingly unrelated question.
Gu Qi answered without hesitation: "Mecha."
Master Ming nodded: "Yes, it's a mecha."
“But that’s not the most important thing.”
Gu Qi frowned slightly. What else is there besides mecha?
Master Ming continued, "The most important thing is a mecha that perfectly matches you."
“It’s like finding your other half.”
"It's not about the best in the world, but the one that fits with your soul."
Gu Qi understood that this mecha did not reach S-level, but it was not A-level either.
This is mainly due to the special level of Qiming.
This is why Master Ming is so highly respected, because the mechas he makes must be suitable for the users.
Only the integration of man and machine can maximize the full potential of the user.
As soon as Master Ming saw her expression, he knew that she had figured it out.
"Then why did the mecha fail just now?" Gu Qi did not forget her main purpose.
Master Ming smiled, waved to her and led her into the innermost mecha testing room.
"Release the S-class mecha in your hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qi suddenly switched to an offensive state, staring at Master Ming with eyes full of dangerous signals.
Master Ming smiled when he saw her alert look.
"Don't be so nervous. I can sense the mecha I made myself."
As an S-class mechanical master, Master Ming has a sense of all the mechas he makes. This is his innate talent.
It was because he sensed the mecha that had left him for some time that he went to the fourth floor and met Gu Qi.
"It was given to you by Gu Yuan."
When Gu Yuan gave her this mecha necklace, she was surprised that besides Master Ming, there was anyone else in the Federation who could make an S-class mecha. She didn't expect it to be true.
But I have never heard that Master Ming has any other S-class mechas besides "God of Killer" and the most recent "Successor".
"Okay, let it out now. You probably haven't seen it before."
Gu Qi didn't know why he was so sure that she had never used this mecha. The last time he and Principle encountered an enemy, he used the A-class mecha that Gu Yuan gave him a long time ago.
But when she released this S-class mecha, she understood.
If she had used this mech before, she would have seen why the one below had failed.
Because they look exactly the same!
"This..." Gu Qi was speechless for a moment.
Master Ming looked at the S-class mecha with nostalgic eyes, walked forward and stroked the body of the mecha with his hand.
"Everyone thinks the one below is the first generation of 'Killer God', but it's not."
"It is the first generation of the 'Vanguard'."
"Vanguard?" Gu Qi murmured. When Gu Yuan handed the mecha to her, he did not tell her its name.
Master Ming nodded and told the story.
The entire universe believed that the "Killer God" was his first S-class mecha, but it was not.
——“Pioneers” are.
At that time, the federation produced two double S geniuses.
One is the current Lu Yuan head, Lu Yao, and the other is Yuan Yan’s father, Yuan Qingze.
Because of their appearance, Master Ming began to focus on researching how to create S-class mechas.
Thanks to his unremitting efforts, the first generation of "Pioneer" was born.
It is more perfect than any mecha Master Ming has ever made.
But its only flaw is that it is still not an S-class mecha.
He went through all the steps again, and while retaining the appearance of the first-generation product, he used a completely new approach to produce the core.
For him at that time, it was just an attempt.
But it achieved unexpected results.
The Pioneer is born!
He planned to give it to his good friend's son, Hara Kiyosawa.
Unexpectedly, Hara Qingze, who has a double S, can't control it at all.
Although Yuan Qingze felt a little regretful, he still magnanimously asked his good brother Lu Yao to give it a try.
Master Ming, who had high hopes, fell into a long period of confusion after seeing Lu Yao also fail.
Did the "Vanguard" still fail?
For more than a year, he was studying why it was an S-class mecha, but the two double S geniuses were unable to control it.
Finally, after searching through all the history books, he came to a conclusion.
It's not that Vanguard failed, it's that it was too successful.
Its power was far beyond what they could control.
If S-class could also be divided into grades.
Then Lu Yao and the others may be beginners, while the "pioneers" are advanced.
This is why Lu Yao and Hara Qingze can't control it at all.
It was also because of this that Master Ming changed his ideas.
A perfect mecha should be in perfect harmony with its user.
But he couldn't actually grasp the balance. Even the "God of Killer" was not the most suitable mecha for Lu Yao.
"You go and try." Master Ming stepped aside. He wanted to see whether the girl who Gu Yuan said could definitely start the "Pioneer" was really as he said.
Although Gu Qi still hasn't figured out the relationship between Gu Yuan and Master Ming, it doesn't hinder her interest in the "Pioneer" at all.
She wanted to know how big the difference was between S-class mecha and A-class mecha.
The author has something to say:
I read the comments on the previous chapter. Did anyone not understand it?
The reason I haven’t written it all clearly is because there are many things that will be explained later. Once all the truth comes out, you should understand it by connecting the dots.
But I think everyone should have more or less guessed it.
Then I saw a little cutie asking who the male lead is?
Hahaha, I thought I understood it very well, it’s principle one!
