Chapter 53 My Unlucky Brother 8 GaGa's Rampage
As citizens of the Scorpion Empire, who hasn't dreamed of piloting a mecha since the advent of mecha?
However, their mental strength level severely restricted them; their hands touched every part of the mech, but they never actually sat in the cockpit themselves.
But now, they were sitting in the driver's seat, equipped with a neural connection device modified by Qi Wang.
This is really crazy.
In everyone's understanding, B-level mental power users are unable to pilot mechs. Using a mental connection device would directly destroy their brain. If they are lucky, they will survive as idiots, while if they are unlucky, they will die directly in the pilot's seat.
But they still believed Qi Wang's words and sat in the driver's seat.
The mental connection device was activated, and Ma Junlai felt a buzzing sound in his head, followed by a change in his vision.
"This is……"
Ma Junlai lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his own hands.
It was a pair of enormous, powerful hands, completely different from his own, yet he could feel that he controlled them completely, without any difference from his own.
All of this was really strange, so strange that Ma Junlai thought it was all a dream.
He started moving the mecha, initially a little clumsy, but soon his movements became agile and smooth.
He jumped, he leaped, he danced wildly, he flew through the air and disappeared into the ground... No, he didn't disappear into the ground; the ground was made of a special metal, so the mecha couldn't disappear into the ground.
Even so, it was enough to drive Ma Junlai crazy.
He's really piloting a mecha! This isn't a dream! He's practically a god-level psychic who can pilot a mecha now!!!
Aside from Ma Junlai, the other three were equally excited. They maneuvered their mechs around, shaking hands and greeting each other. They tirelessly performed all sorts of silly actions to confirm that they were indeed controlling the mechs.
Qi Wang understood their feelings, so he didn't give them a time limit. They didn't leave the mecha until the three of them were tired of playing.
Ma Junlai reacted the most, letting out a joyful shout, and then rushed towards Qi Wang without hesitation, grabbing his arm and calling him "Dad."
"Dad, you're my real dad. You're amazing! I don't even know how to describe how I feel right now. You're just so, so amazing!"
Ma Junlai now only regrets his poor academic performance. When he wants to praise someone, he can't think of any good words. Apart from calling him "Dad" and praising him for being amazing, he is too excited to do anything else.
At this moment, Zhou Miaoran forgot about the little flirtations she had with Qi Wang before. Her mind was filled with how amazing Qi Wang was. She looked at Qi Wang with stars in her eyes.
"Qi Wang, have you been busy with this all this time? Why didn't you tell us so we could help? This is a groundbreaking invention, a miracle bestowed upon the Scorpion Empire by heaven. If everyone could pilot a mecha, we could definitely wipe out the Zerg."
Xu Yifang was also excited: "That's right. If all B-level mental power users can pilot mechs, we will definitely be able to end this protracted war with the Zerg in this century."
Like Ma Junlai, Qin Dongdong was so excited that he forgot his own name. He grabbed Qi Wang's arm and asked him a series of questions.
"Can this kind of mental power amplification device be mass-produced? Is the production cost high? Have you done any experiments to see how long a B-level mental power user like us can pilot a mecha?"
It's no wonder they were so excited. After all, Qi Wang's invention was ahead of its time. He single-handedly changed the course of the entire Scorpion Empire's development.
After all, the war with the Zerg had lasted for over two thousand years, and the citizens of the Scorpion Empire longed for an early end to the war.
In the past, mechs could only be piloted by god-level mental power users, and there were not many god-level mental power users. Although they could play a crucial role on the battlefield, they could not completely crush the Zerg.
The Zerg's incredible reproductive ability allows them to thrive endlessly. Although humanity has consistently gained the upper hand in this war, it has been unable to completely eradicate the Zerg.
The Zerg will always come back, and the people of the Scorpion Empire will always be forced into war.
But now, Qi Wang has invented a mental power amplifier. If it can be mass-produced, then all A-level and B-level mental power users can pilot mechs. The number of A-level and B-level mental power users far exceeds that of god-level mental power users, which is equivalent to suddenly having countless mech legions.
The four of them became increasingly nervous and excited as they thought about these things. They stared intently at Qi Wang, waiting for him to give his final answer.
Qi Wang gave them the answer: "Researching the mental amplifier is quite troublesome, and modifying the mecha's piloting space is also quite difficult, but these are not major problems. With a professional team, they should be easy to solve."
This is no lie. With Qi Wang's abilities, modifying these things is just a piece of cake. Others may not have his abilities, but the Scorpion Empire is not short of talent. A few more would have the same effect.
After receiving Qi Wang's reply, the four of them jumped and danced with excitement, knowing exactly what it meant.
Ma Junlai hurriedly said, "Qi Wang, have you told your family about this? Now that you've figured this out, your family should be able to mass-produce it quickly, and it won't be long before it's put into use..."
The Qi family is a large family, and all four of them know that although Qi Wang is a B-level mental power user, he invented a mental power amplifier, and his achievements are higher than those of his three god-level mental power users.
It is no exaggeration to say that Qi Wang is a figure worthy of being written into history books.
His parents will be so proud of him.
However, Qi Wang shook his head at them: "This matter cannot go through the Qi family."
Upon hearing this, all four were stunned: "Why?"
Apart from Qi Wang, the other four people did not come from wealthy families. They were not poor, but just ordinary families who were slightly better off.
Without the help of the Qi family, it would not have been easy for Qi Wang's invention to be promoted.
After all, they are insignificant and their voices carry little weight. In this world that places great importance on mental strength levels, no one would believe that a B-level mental strength user had made such a great invention.
Qi Wang gave a wry smile and said, "If this invention were given to my family, my three older brothers and sisters would definitely strongly oppose it for their own benefit."
This is no lie. In this world that revolves around Long Aotian, such an invention, if it falls into the hands of Long Aotian and those around him, will only have one fate.
Their lofty and unshakeable status stems from their status as god-level mental power users.
Once ordinary people can also pilot mechs, even if they don't have as much experience as the mech pilots, it will be enough to shake their status.
These people will not allow such a thing to happen.
Ma Junlai and the others also realized this, and their expressions changed.
"So what should we do now?"
After the initial excitement wore off, they realized the seriousness of the situation.
If the Qi family is unwilling to promote this mental power amplifier, they won't be able to find anyone else to help promote it.
After all, the one who firmly controls the lifeline of the empire is a god-level mental power user.
The existence of such an invention is tantamount to undermining their position, and they will certainly do everything in their power to obstruct it.
"Then what do we do?"
They can't just give up on this idea and then have the five of them secretly pilot the mechs without anyone else knowing, can they?
Qi Wang offered them another path.
"We can leave the capital planet and go to other planets."
The Scorpion Empire occupies several star systems, with various families controlling the best planets and monopolizing all their resources.
However, planets with poor resources were allocated to ordinary people with low mental strength.
The major families are controlled by god-level spiritual power users, and they will not cooperate with Qi Wang. However, it is different for ordinary families.
This is related to their interests. Previously, they had no way to compete with god-level mental power users. If they also have the ability to pilot mechs, the power of the Scorpion Empire will be completely reshuffled.
