Chapter 122 Doubt
When Yan Hao returned to the dormitory from the laboratory, the news that Sheng Zhuo had become a ninth-level mecha warrior had already spread throughout the Federation through the Star Network. When He Shao saw Yan Hao coming back, he sat up from the bed excitedly: "Xiao Hao, have you read the news on the Star Network? Sheng Zhuo has advanced to a ninth-level mecha warrior."
"I know." Yan Hao nodded with a smile.
"You knew that a long time ago?"
"My senior mentioned this to me this morning," Yan Hao said.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me?" He Shao looked depressed.
"What's wrong?" Yan Hao was puzzled. He only knew it half a day earlier than He Shao. Is this important?
"What else? Did you know that the stock of Shengxing Group, the company behind the God of War Legion, has gone crazy today? If you had told me in advance, I would have gone to buy the stocks. It would have been like picking up money while sitting on the ground." He Shao felt heartbroken just thinking about it, as if he had lost a large sum of money.
Yan Hao laughed: "Compared to mecha, you are indeed better at making money."
"Of course. I only started learning mechas in middle school, and I learned how to make money when I was still in my mother's belly." He Shao sat cross-legged. Seeing Yan Hao taking his clothes and preparing to take a shower, he reminded him casually, "When I went downstairs to pick up a package just now, I saw a package of yours, but it was encrypted and you had to pick it up in person, so I didn't help you. Why don't you pick up the package first and then take a shower to save the trouble of changing clothes."
"Express delivery?" Yan Hao was stunned, then as if he thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, he threw away the pajamas in his hand and ran downstairs.
"You're so excited, what's that?" It was the first time that He Shao saw Yan Hao so excited, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
After a while, Yan Hao came in holding a box half a person's height. He Shao was curious, so he handed over his shoes and went over to help.
"What is it? Federal Research Institute?" He Shao glanced at the mailing address. "Is it something that Mr. Zhong sent to you?"
"Well, the teacher sent me some mecha parts." Yan Hao said, took the utility knife, and quickly opened the express, revealing hundreds of mini mecha parts inside.
Yes, the mecha parts inside were not of normal size, but dozens of times smaller than normal mecha parts. He Shao took a quick glance and saw the prototype of a mecha. He couldn't help but pick up one of the parts and looked at it for a moment, then exclaimed: "What kind of model is this? How come the parts are so realistic, just like the real thing."
"This is actually true." Yan Hao said.
"Who are you trying to fool? This model is at most half a person's height. How can you drive it? Not to mention fighting." He Shao didn't believe it.
"This is for research." Yan Hao explained, "This is a mini mecha specially made by the teacher for the purpose of studying mimicry mecha. The finished product is about 1.5 meters tall. There are two boxes of parts downstairs. Help me get them."
The two of them went down again, and each of them carried another box up, and they finished moving.
Yan Hao didn't even take a shower. He squatted on the ground and started assembling the mecha.
He Shao saw that he had only assembled one arm after a long time. He wanted to help, but was afraid that he would break it. He couldn't help but mutter, "Why didn't Mr. Zhong assemble it and send it to you? It's not like the mecha can't be delivered by express delivery."
"I specifically requested it. I want to assemble it myself so that I can better understand the difference between mimic mecha and traditional mecha." Yan Hao has been making traditional mechas for some time, and it can be said that he has a deep understanding of traditional mechas. The more he understands traditional mechas, the more Yan Hao knows the advantages and disadvantages of traditional mechas. After comparing them, he also has some new ideas about mimic mechas.
He often communicated with Elder Zhong about these new ideas remotely. Seeing that he had many questions, Elder Zhong waved his hand and said that he would give the simulated mecha model in the laboratory to Yan Hao. Yan Hao refused to accept it at first, but in the end, Elder Zhong half-forced him to accept it. He had studied this mecha model for decades, and now it was almost over. If it could help Yan Hao break through again, that would be the value of this mecha model.
Only then did Yan Hao accept it.
He Shao had lived with Yan Hao for such a long time, and he thought he knew Yan Hao very well. When he heard him say that, he immediately realized something: "Have you made a breakthrough? Is the seventh-level mimicry mecha going to succeed?"
Speaking of maneuvers, He Shao directly grabbed Yan Hao's shoulders and yelled, "You must tell me when it will be produced. This time I must buy the stocks in advance."
Yan Hao finally broke free and said speechlessly: "I just have some clues, how can it be so fast. Besides, what does my making a level 7 mecha have to do with you buying stocks?"
"How does it matter? If you make the first mimicry mecha, who will you give it to? Sheng Heng, right? Sheng Heng is from the Ares Corps, right? The mimicry mecha has been stagnant for more than ten years. If you can develop a seventh-level mimicry mecha, it means that eighth-level, ninth-level, or even tenth-level mechas will likely appear in the future. And you and Sheng Heng are a well-known partner. Your achievements will directly affect the Ares Corps, and thus affect the Shengxing Group controlled by your future mother-in-law. Of course the stock will rise, it would be strange if it didn't." He Shao blabbered and analyzed a lot with Yan Hao.
"Okay, if I really make it, I will tell you." Yan Hao was not very interested in these, but if he could really make a level 7 mimicry mecha, there was naturally no reason to hide it from He Shao.
"Xiaohao, I really love you the most." He Shao hugged Yan Hao excitedly.
Yan Hao struggled with a blush.
The news that Sheng Zhuo became a ninth-level mecha warrior, in addition to what Shao said, made Shengxing Group's assets increase by tens of billions of star coins in one day, the greater impact was on the military. In recent years, the reputation of the God of War Corps in the military has long been lost. Especially thirty years ago, the God of War Corps even had an economic crisis. The other two major corps took advantage of this time to poach a large number of talented mecha warriors who had just joined the corps but had not yet felt a sense of belonging to the corps.
Although Sheng Heng's mother later took over Shengxing Group and, with her outstanding business talent, helped the Ares Corps escape the economic crisis in just three years, the lost talents and prestige were difficult to fill. During that period, the Sima Corps took the opportunity to absorb the new forces that had left the Ares Corps, and then, in the next twenty years, it developed rapidly and had the strength to compete with the Sheng Family and the Feng Family.
About ten years ago, the Zerg experienced an unprecedented large Zerg tide. General Sheng led the way in that battle, single-handedly charging into the Zerg and killing the Zerg King with one sword. The battle was won in a few days, but the Ares Legion suffered heavy losses, especially General Sheng, who even injured his hand. Although he did not announce that his injury was not serious, anyone who paid a little attention could see that General Sheng rarely went to the battlefield in person after that.
Since then, the reputation of the God of War Corps has dropped a few points. Admiral Sheng has been injured, and the next generation of the God of War Corps, Sheng Zhuo, only has A+ mental power, and Sheng Heng is even more disabled, and the possibility of becoming a level 9 mecha warrior in the future is not high. It is precisely because of this that Sima Mingxuan dared to take the Sheng family's level 10 mecha. If Sheng Heng had agreed to exchange the mecha at that time, the God of War Corps would have been completely suppressed by the Sima Corps.
If Sima Mingxuan can really become a level 10 mecha warrior in the future, then the Sima Legion will become the first legion of the Federation, and even the next federal marshal may be Sima Mingxuan.
Seeing that the Ares Corps was about to lose, Sheng Zhuo suddenly became a ninth-level mecha warrior, which shocked the military. But the Federation had one more ninth-level combat force, which was a good thing for the entire Federation. So after the shock, most people were happy, except for the Sima family who always felt that they were about to surpass the Ares Corps.
"Both rely on the Phantom Potion to improve their mental power, so why can Sheng Zhuo be promoted to a level nine mecha warrior so quickly, while Mingxuan's mental power has always been unstable?" Sima Qing, the head of the Sima family, questioned the person in charge of the pharmacy department.
The person in charge of the pharmacy department was an old man with half a hundred hair. His name was Le Taihong, and he was a level 10 pharmacist. Normally, Sima Qing was very fond of this level 10 pharmacist and always spoke politely to him. But today, he was too shocked and angry, so his tone was a little heavier.
"I have seen Sheng Zhuo's mental map. His mental map is much more stable than Mingxuan's." Le Taihong glanced at Sima Mingxuan who was standing beside him and said, "Sheng Zhuo is older than Mingxuan and has better control over his mental power than Mingxuan. Perhaps because of this reason, after he was promoted to S-level mental power, his mental power was more stable than Mingxuan's."
Sima Mingxuan frowned: "Master Le, didn't you say at the beginning that the reason why my mental power is unstable is because the S-level mental power itself is too strong, so this is unavoidable?"
"That's indeed the conclusion I came to, but judging from Sheng Zhuo's mental map, his mental power is indeed very stable. Either he is born with better control than you, or he has medicine that can stabilize his mental power." Le Taihong said.
Sima Mingxuan's eyes flashed and he looked at his uncle Sima Qing.
Sima Qing immediately understood: "I'll have someone check it out."
The Sima family had arranged an insider in the Ares Corps. Since they could get Sheng Zhuo's mental map, it would not be difficult to investigate other things. This matter was related to Sima Mingxuan's mental state, so the investigation was even faster. Sima Qing got the news in just two days.
"According to the news over there, Sheng Zhuo takes a medicinal bath every three days." Sima Qing said.
At this time, Le Taihong was holding a test report, squinting his eyes and studying it carefully. Next to him, Yan Fei was also standing and looking at the test report together.
"Yan Fei, did you see anything?" Le Taihong asked.
"Teacher, judging from this test report, there are at least five hundred kinds of herbs in here, and their medicinal properties are all very strange." Yan Fei said after careful consideration.
Because Yan Fei could relieve Sima Mingxuan's mental agitation, Sima Mingxuan brought him back to the Sima Army very early and sent him to the Sima Army's pharmacy department. After that, his relationship with Sima Mingxuan became closer, and since he himself had a good talent in pharmacy, he became a disciple of Le Taihong, the exclusive pharmacist of the Sima family.
"This is the medicine liquid after Sheng Zhuo finished soaking it. The medicinal properties have changed, so it's naturally strange. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that hundreds of medicines with different medicinal properties can be combined together at the same time to stabilize the complex and changeable S-level mental power. It can be seen that the pharmacist who prepared this medicine not only has strong pharmacological knowledge, but also has superb calculation ability. Without any one of these two abilities, this medicine liquid cannot be prepared." Le Taihong is worthy of being a master of medicine. He does have this vision.
"Calculate?" Yan Fei cried out.
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked over in confusion.
Yan Fei's expression changed. He was familiar with pharmacology and had strong calculation ability. The first person he thought of was Yan Hao. But Yan Hao had never learned medicine since high school. He should not be able to make this medicine for treating S-level mental power.
"I... I was just wondering who in the Federation meets this condition." Yan Fei said.
"I've been thinking about it too, but I can't think of anyone at the moment." said Le Taihong.
Sima Mingxuan, who had been silent all this time, guessed someone from Yan Fei's expression when Yan Fei screamed.
He understands pharmacology, can do calculations, and has connections with the Sheng family.
