Chapter 121 Customized Weapons
Time passed, and soon the semester was halfway through. During this half semester, Yan Hao's level 6 mecha had slowly taken shape. The limbs and some key parts had already taken shape. Now all that was missing was a cockpit, a mecha core, and weapons.
Yan Hao hadn't figured out what weapons to make for his first level 6 mecha yet, and was a bit confused for a while. Long-range weapons were easy to make, as they were all equipped with particle cannons, but melee weapons needed to be tailored to the user's habits.
His first reaction was to customize a spear modeled after Black Soul's Xuanming Spear, because he was most familiar with Sheng Heng's fighting habits. But then he thought again, Sheng Heng already had Black Soul, and the chance of him using his customized weapon was slim, so he gave up the idea.
"What? You haven't thought about it yet?" Old Pang came over to check on Yan Hao's progress. Seeing him leaning over the table drawing the design of the weapon, he asked casually.
"Yeah." This is the nth version of the design that Yan Hao has drawn.
"Didn't you say last time that you would just customize a melee weapon first?" asked Mr. Pang.
"I've thought about it, and this isn't a good idea. The biggest feature of melee weapons is that they are customized according to the user's combat habits, so that mecha warriors can use them with ease. If I customize one casually, although it may seem fine at first glance, it would be a waste if I can't find the right person to use it." Yan Hao said seriously.
As Pang listened, he nodded with satisfaction. At first, when Yan Hao was ready to design his own weapon because he didn't have a suitable custom object, Pang didn't stop him, so that when problems arose, he could give some suggestions, which would make him more convincing. Unexpectedly, not long after, Yan Hao figured it out himself. It can be seen that Yan Hao is not a mecha maker who only talks about war on paper.
"That's right, Xiaohao, you have to remember that when we manufacture mechas, we must take the practicality of the mechas into consideration. Don't design mechas based on your own imagination." Old Pang warned.
Yan Hao felt a little embarrassed by the compliment: "These were all reminded to me by my senior."
"Sheng Heng? How is he doing on the front battlefield?" asked Mr. Pang.
"Senior has made another military achievement some time ago and is now a lieutenant." Yan Hao said with some pride.
"Lieutenant? You were promoted quite quickly. Wasn't he just second lieutenant two months ago?" Old Pang said in surprise.
Although there are not many students at the Federal University who are awarded military ranks while in school, there are some. However, it is rare for someone to be promoted twice in one semester like Sheng Heng.
"Military ranks in the Ares Corps are awarded based on military industry. Senior has killed more Zerg, so he was promoted faster." Yan Hao said.
After he killed a level nine Zerg on the frontline during the holiday, Sheng Heng officially became a member of the Ares Corps. After the third year of college, students in the Mecha Department of the Federal University will have actual combat missions on the frontline. Of course, these actual combat missions are carried out in some less dangerous battlefields, and Sheng Heng took the initiative to apply to go to the frontline of the confrontation between the Federation and the Zerg, the base of the Ares Corps.
And because of the video of Sheng Heng that went viral throughout the federation during the holiday, the school approved Sheng Heng's application without much difficulty. Sheng Heng thus became the only soldier in his junior year who entered the front line, and also the only student with a military rank.
This made the third year students, especially those in Sheng Heng's class, extremely envious. They all rushed to apply, wanting to fight on the front line, but were scolded by their class teachers one by one.
"Come back to me when you can kill a level nine Zerg alone. If you can't, just wait until you are a senior."
According to the practice of the Federal University, the third-year students would go to the front line with their teachers. In the fourth year, when the students were familiar with the battlefields and the various corps, they would have the right to freely choose the battlefield. Of course, the premise was that the person in charge of the station they chose was also willing to accept them.
So all the classmates in the class went to Sheng Heng again, saying that when they were seniors, Sheng Heng would recruit them into the Ares Corps through the back door. Some people also asked Sheng Heng to work hard for promotion, and when they passed, they could be recruited directly into the team in charge of Sheng Heng.
Unknowingly, Sheng Heng has become the leader of the junior year. If nothing unexpected happens, when Sheng Heng graduates from the Federal University, most of the students in their class will join the God of War Legion.
And it is precisely because Sheng Heng spent most of his time on the battlefield this semester, and when he talked to Yan Hao on the phone, Sheng Heng mostly talked about combat matters, that Yan Hao had such a deep understanding of the practicality of mecha weapons.
"What do you plan to do with the design draft of the weapon?" Old Pang turned the topic back to weapons.
"He Shao gave me an idea. He asked me to put the mecha up for auction online, and said that he would customize a weapon for whoever bought it in the end." Yan Hao said.
"This is also a good idea." Old Pang nodded.
"Teacher, you think so too." Yan Hao glanced at Mr. Pang with a look of reluctance.
"Why, you don't agree?"
"This is the first mecha I made, and I don't really want to sell it." Yan Hao expressed his thoughts.
Old Pang smiled. He understood Yan Hao's feelings very well. As a mecha maker, especially a mecha maker who truly loves mechas, every mecha he made is like his own child. Who would be willing to sell it? But if it is not sold, it will be a pity that the mecha that should have been invincible on the battlefield is placed in the laboratory and covered with dust.
This kind of tangled feeling is very subtle, so until now, Mr. Pang only customizes mechas for people he approves of.
"How about I give you a suggestion?" Old Pang said to Yan Hao.
Yan Hao's eyes sparkled as he looked at Mr. Pang intently.
"In addition to customizing weapons based on the user, they can also be customized based on the target of attack," reminded Mr. Pang.
Yan Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted as if he had suddenly realized something: "Teacher, I understand. Thank you, teacher. I will make a call now."
As he said this, he threw down the half-finished weapon design drawing he had drawn and ran out to make a call.
Mr. Pang shook his head helplessly.
Yan Hao ran to an empty room and called Sheng Heng. He didn't need to be so anxious. It was just that Sheng Heng was fighting on the front line. He only had time to talk when he returned to the base to rest. But he would go out again after a few days of rest. Yan Hao was afraid that he would be late in calling and Sheng Heng would go out again.
"Xiao Hao." The communication was connected, and Sheng Heng's face appeared on the virtual screen. He was wearing a light green military uniform. He looked heroic, and he already had the solemn and murderous aura unique to frontline soldiers.
"Where are you?" Yan Hao couldn't help but ask when he saw that the background behind Sheng Heng was different from before.
"In the auditorium, wait for me." Sheng Heng said, then started walking out and stopped when he reached a secluded place.
"Is there any important ceremony in the auditorium?" Yan Hao asked.
"Yeah." Sheng Heng nodded heavily and said proudly, "Brother will be awarded the title of ninth-level mecha warrior."
"What?! That's great." Yan Hao said in surprise.
"This is all thanks to you. Big brother's mental power has been unstable. Ever since he started taking the medicinal bath according to the medicine formula you gave him, his mental power has been very stable. Now he is confident in controlling the ninth-level mecha." Sheng Heng said excitedly.
At a time when no one can control a level 10 mecha, a level 9 mecha is already the highest single-person combat power in the Federation. Sheng Zhuo's advancement has great significance for the entire Ares Corps and even the entire Federation. Therefore, every time a level 9 mecha warrior appears, the Corps will hold an awarding ceremony and notify the Federation at the same time.
"As long as it's useful." Yan Hao was also happy for Sheng Zhuo.
"By the way, you suddenly came to me, is there something going on?" The two of them just talked yesterday, and it's daytime now. Yan Hao should be in the laboratory making mechas. He must have something going on if he suddenly came to me.
"It's still about weapons." Yan Hao said.
"What kind of weapon have you thought of making?" Sheng Heng asked.
"I thought of it, but I need your help." Yan Hao said.
When Sheng Heng heard that Yan Hao asked him for help, he suddenly became alert. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Yan Hao expectantly with trembling eyes.
Yan Hao's cheeks flushed immediately, and he opened his mouth a little embarrassedly and called out "brother". That word "brother" was soft and tender, and obviously did not have any erotic meaning, but it was naturally attractive.
Sheng Heng on the other end of the video seemed to have lost most of his murderous aura when he was called "brother". He felt elated. At this moment, it seemed that if Yan Hao wanted his life, he would give it to him without hesitation.
Sheng Heng particularly liked the way Yan Hao called him brother, so every time Yan Hao asked him for help, no matter how big or small the task was, he would tease Yan Hao to call him brother. Over time, the two of them formed this romantic little tacit understanding.
"What should I do?" Sheng Heng asked with a chuckle. The boy on the other end of the video was still a little shy, which made people want to tease him again, but Sheng Heng held back. It was not that he didn't want to, but if he delayed any longer, the ceremony would start before he finished talking.
"I want some physical data of the Zerg, preferably at each level." Yan Hao said.
"You want to research weapons specifically targeting the Zerg?" There are also research in this area within the God of War Corps, so when Sheng Heng heard Yan Hao's request, he made a rough guess.
"Yes." Yan Hao nodded.
"This is not difficult. There is related research within the Ares Corps. I will ask my eldest brother for authorization and I should be able to get the data." Sheng Heng said.
"Will this involve your secrets?" Yan Hao felt a little nervous when he heard that it was the internal research data of the God of War Legion.
"If it's just physical data, it's not confidential." Sheng Heng said.
When Yan Hao heard that it was not a secret, he relaxed: "Then I want the data of Zerg between level 5 and level 8. The more the better."
"Okay." Sheng Heng just nodded in agreement when a soft melody suddenly sounded in the auditorium.
"Is the ceremony about to begin?" Yan Hao guessed.
"Um."
"Then you should go and join us and congratulate big brother on my behalf," Yan Hao urged.
"Let's contact each other tonight." Sheng Heng hung up the phone.
