Chapter 52 Practical Assessment



Mecha driving system.

A student wearing the uniform of the Mecha Manufacturing Department was standing in front of Sheng Heng with a dissatisfied look on his face, and he said loudly: "Sheng Heng, what do you mean?"

"I just want to put my name on it. The mecha doesn't need you to repair it." Sheng Heng said.

After the school started, the mecha combat department had a practical assessment, which was a joint assessment of the mecha driving department and the manufacturing department. While testing the practical combat ability of the mecha driving department students, it also tested the maintenance ability of the mecha manufacturing department. On the battlefield, it is very common for mechas to be damaged. Whether before or after the war, the mecha manufacturer must check the mecha.

"No, this test also counts towards my credits. If your mecha breaks down and I don't fix it, the teacher will also deduct points from me." said a student from the mecha manufacturing department.

"My mecha won't break down." Sheng Heng said.

"How do you know it won't break?"

"The Black Soul is a level six mecha. The mission of this field assessment is only level four and will not destroy the mecha." Sheng Heng said.

"Then why don't you go and talk to the teacher and ask him to allow you to take the test independently."

Sheng Heng frowned. It was not that he had not gone to the teacher, but the teacher rejected his proposal on the spot after hearing it, and criticized and educated him. The teacher told Sheng Heng that being a mecha warrior was not only about knowing how to fight, but also about maintaining a good relationship with the mecha manufacturer, because on the battlefield, the mecha manufacturer was their only backing. A warrior who could not get along well with the mecha manufacturer could not fully trust his mecha, and if a warrior could not even trust his own mecha, how could he fight?

Sheng Heng did not understand this, but the only mecha maker he trusted was Yan Hao, and Yan Hao was just a freshman, and had not yet reached the qualification to participate in actual combat. If it was in the past, it would be fine for Yan Hao to show the Black Soul to other mecha makers, but at this time, the Black Soul had been completely modified by Yan Hao, and Sheng Heng did not want outsiders to touch the Black Soul again. However, if you want to participate in the out-of-town assessment, you must be equipped with a mecha maker. If you don’t have one, you can’t participate. Sheng Heng then consulted with Cheng Wenkang, a mecha maker in the same group, but the other party obviously disagreed.

"I can give you a piece of rare metal as a reward." Sheng Heng said.

"Sheng Heng, you are a driver with a hand injury. You are destined not to get a high score in such a long practical assessment. The reason why I agreed to let you join my team is so that you can have the opportunity to repair the Black Soul. Now you won't even let me touch the Black Soul, what reason do I have to let you join my team and deliberately drag us back?" The man sneered.

The Black Soul was a level 6 mecha, which was considered a luxury for students at the Federal University. Among Sheng Heng's classmates, only his Black Soul was level 6, so even though everyone knew he had a hand injury, they were still willing to partner with him in order to get in touch with the Black Soul.

"Xiang Jun, why do you talk like that?" Cheng Wenkang couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'm telling the truth. I really don't understand why a disabled person who is destined to never be a mecha warrior has to take the mecha driving exam and occupy a level six mecha." Xiang Jun had disliked Sheng Heng for a long time.

Previously, because he was studying the circuit diagram of the sixth-level mecha, he wanted to borrow Sheng Heng's Black Soul to take a look, and promised him that as long as he lent him the Black Soul, he could be his partner during school, but Sheng Heng rejected him without a second thought. Since Xiang Jun was admitted to the Mecha Manufacturing Department, he had never been rejected so coldly. Now the other party begged him, but still did not let him touch the Black Soul. How could he agree?

"You..." Cheng Wenkang's face changed.

"Forget it." Sheng Heng stopped Cheng Wenkang and said to Xiang Jun, "I won't join."

"You're wasting time. You almost delayed me from attending Professor Zhong's open class." Xiang Jun glanced at Sheng Heng with disdain, turned around and walked out. When he passed by Cheng Wenkang, he glanced at him and said sarcastically, "If you don't want to, you can leave my team. I won't force you."

"Leave if you want." Cheng Wenkang said angrily.

"Okay, remember to talk to the teacher yourself." After saying that, Xiang Jun left without looking back.

"If he wasn't a mecha maker, I really wanted to beat him up." Cheng Wenkang waved his fist angrily in the direction where Xiang Jun left.

"A mecha warrior beat up a mecha maker. Do you want to be fired?" Sheng Heng glanced at him.

"But this kid's words are too irritating."

"Nothing. If I put myself in his shoes, if a mecha maker told me that he would not help me repair the mecha and asked me to take him to the assessment, I would probably refuse." Sheng Heng was much calmer than Cheng Wenkang. "Trust is mutual. I really didn't develop trust with this batch of mecha makers."

"That's because... never mind." Cheng Wenkang said in embarrassment, "What about this assessment? Are we still going?"

"I'm the one who should think about this problem. You just need to change teams and join again." Cheng Wenkang was not as annoyed as he was with the mecha manufacturers of the same grade. It was not difficult for him to change teams.

"It would be great if you can take part in the assessment. That way I don't have to look for another team and you can participate." Cheng Wenkang suggested, "Why don't you ask your junior brother?"

"Xiaohao is only a freshman, how can he possibly take part in the actual combat assessment?" Sheng Heng said.

"This freshman can't participate in the actual combat assessment because he hasn't learned the knowledge of mecha maintenance. But the junior brother's strength is enough, and he is the only one who can repair the Black Soul. Besides, it's okay even if you just put your name on it, the main thing is that you can participate." Cheng Wenkang said, "Anyway, the mecha maker only needs to wait at the base, and he doesn't have to participate in the battle with us, so there will be no danger."

Sheng Heng hesitated and didn't say anything, but Cheng Wenkang knew that he was moved.

"Why don't you ask your junior fellow student?" Cheng Wenkang asked.

After Dark Soul was modified, he desperately needed an actual combat opportunity to test his strength. Sheng Heng really wanted to take part in this assessment.

"Okay, I'll ask." Sheng Heng thought about it and was about to call Yan Hao, but considering that he might be attending Mr. Zhong's open class, he sent a message instead.

The tenth floor of the laboratory building, lounge.

Yan Hao did not go to listen to Mr. Zhong's open class, but stayed in the lounge to comfort Mr. Pang.

"What information did he show you? Let me see it?" Mr. Pang asked Yan Hao.

"Yes." Yan Hao retrieved the information that the Babi worm had sent him that day from the optical computer and showed it to Mr. Pang.

After just two glances, Mr. Pang knew what was going on: "Have you understood most of this information?"

"I understand most of the programming aspects, but I don't quite understand the parts related to mecha design. I think it's because my knowledge reserves are not enough." Yan Hao said.

These materials are for seniors, and few of them can see your level. And the old man Zhong Gaoxuan may not be lying. If he didn't want to recruit disciples, he wouldn't give such detailed information to anyone.

"What was the situation when he gave you the information? Tell me about it." asked Mr. Pang.

"Babyworm and I are online friends. We used to discuss math problems online, and Babyworm helped me a lot."

Old Pang nodded. He had always known that Xiao Ba was good at math. To be exact, the few apprentices that the old man Zhong Gaoxuan took in in his later years were all gifted in math. He and Zhong Gaoxuan were both masters of mecha manufacturing, but their research directions had deviated from each other more than a decade ago. He focused on the mecha itself and was committed to strengthening the power of the mecha. However, Zhong Gaoxuan focused on the mecha driving system and tried to simplify the mecha operation.

"About a month ago, Babi Chong discussed a math problem with me, and then he sent me these materials. He said that he knew I was researching the simulated driving system, and these materials would be useful to me." Yan Hao said everything.

As for the difficulty of the math problem, Yan Hao did not mention it. First, he did not think that the math problem was really difficult. Second, he always felt that the information given to him by the Babi worm was far more valuable than the math problem. In his heart, he also felt that the Babi worm gave him the information specifically to help him.

Exchange math problems? This is very similar to what Old Man Zhong did. He first asked his apprentice to give Yan Hao a math problem as a test, then gave him data for a second test, and finally met to accept him as a disciple. Moreover, the Federal University invited Old Man Zhong to give a speech every year, and he agreed this year.

“……” After a while of thinking about it, Mr. Pang almost felt that he had stolen someone else’s apprentice.

Bullshit, it took him more than a month to take the test, he didn't steal it.

"Beep." At this moment, Yan Hao's optical computer terminal rang, indicating that there was a message.

Sheng Heng: [Our class will have an out-of-town practical assessment in three days. We need a mecha maker to partner with me. Are you willing to participate? ]

Yan Hao took a look and replied casually: [I'll ask the teacher if I can go. ]

"What's wrong? Is someone looking for you?" asked Mr. Pang when he saw this.

"No." Yan Hao thought about it and took the opportunity to ask, "Teacher, can I participate in the field test in my freshman year?"

"The field assessment is usually held in the second semester of the sophomore year. You haven't even chosen a partner yet, so how can you go out for the assessment?" said Mr. Pang.

"What if you have a partner?" Yan Hao asked.

"Yes? Someone has already taken a fancy to you?" Old Pang raised his eyebrows, secretly thinking that his apprentice was really a gem, as he was already a sophomore from his freshman year. "You'd better not go to the freshman year. Study hard this year and let him find someone else."

"For the field assessment, the mechas of the Mecha Department should be repaired by our Manufacturing Department, right?" Yan Hao asked.

"Of course, but you don't have to go. The sophomore assessments won't be too difficult, and a mecha maker can pair up with multiple mecha warriors. Just let him find someone to partner up with." Old Pang said casually.

"Then... then I might really have to go." Yan Hao asked in a low voice.

Mr. Pang looked at him.

"I... I modified my senior's mecha. Now I'm probably the only one who can repair it." Yan Hao continued.

Old Pang raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, I didn't realize that Yan Hao was so arrogant. How come others can't repair it after he modified it?

"How did you modify it? No one else can repair it except you?" Old Pang knew that Yan Hao was very talented, but he didn't want him to be too conceited, so he asked this deliberately, hoping to give his little apprentice a good lesson later.

"I... I modified my senior's mecha into simulated driving, and I re-modified all the circuits and operating systems. If I didn't have the original circuit diagram, it might be... difficult to repair." Yan Hao had no intention of questioning the abilities of other mecha builders.

He just thought that if the mecha parts were broken, the sophomores would definitely be able to fix it better than him, but once the system and circuits were broken, they would not be able to repair it.

"..."Mr. Pang.

What did he hear just now? Simulated driving system? Has the modification been completed?

The author has something to say: Mr. Pang: I thought you were proud, but I didn’t expect you to be a Versailles
