Chapter 29

The criteria for judging new mechas are very strict. Not only do they require novel designs, but they also require that the overlap between their design concepts and previous mecha designs be less than 30%.

"Only one step was changed?!" a professor of mechanical engineering said excitedly, "I don't believe it! Unless I take it apart and see for myself!"

The next second, the new mecha was towed away by Xie Ruheng. This new mecha, which looked similar to the basic defense mecha, was not light, but the black-haired alpha towed it away easily.

The old professor was an old and frail beta. He was exhausted even carrying a toolbox. He looked at Xie Ruheng in amazement.

"Teacher, I need to use this mecha to participate in the competition, so I can't lend it to you for research at the moment."

The old professor was stunned: "......Okay, okay, classmate, when and where will you compete?"

Xie Ruheng walked to the lift and said without turning his head, "Now, to the martial arts arena."

As soon as the words fell, the elevator rose rapidly and instantly landed on the training ground one floor high in the sky!

The overly bright and dazzling light made Xie Ruheng squint slightly. He placed the mecha on the transparent ground and looked around the huge training ground.

The drill ground of the Federal Military Academy is like a castle in the sky, suspended in the blue sky and white clouds, and the audience seats surround the spherical drill ground like an asteroid belt.

It is grand and spotless, and has a completely different style from the underground arena.

And the opponent he faced this time was also different.

Gu Tunan stood in the center of the arena, and behind him was a slender humanoid mecha designed by a top mecha designer with smooth lines.

Compared with the rough and bizarre alien mechas, the humanoid mechas are like polite gentlemen.

[The humanoid mecha is really good-looking]

[Although the same amount of money can buy an alien mecha with a higher cost-effectiveness, I still prefer a humanoid mecha.]

[Don’t watch it anymore. You’ll start to dream if you watch it again. Alien mechas are more suitable for ordinary families like us.]

[Gu Tunan is so handsome. If I were Tang Bai, I would marry Gu Tunan~]

[Isn't Xie Ruheng and his new mecha pretty good? ]

[What's so new about Xie Ruheng's new mecha? No matter how I look at it, I think it's just a basic defense mecha]

[A new mecha that has not even been appraised may be very weak]

[Yes, I still remember a few years ago there was a scrap mecha that was so unique that it was identified as a new type of mecha]

......

Xie Ruheng looked at the opening moves that Gu Tunan made to him in the duel, raised his eyebrows slightly, and returned the gesture in a proper manner.

Compared with Gu Tunan, who performed the etiquette in a very formal and textbook manner, his return gift could be considered lazy.

Gu Tunan frowned, "I hope you can take this competition seriously..." He glanced at the mecha modified by Xie Ruheng and added coldly: "Don't give up on yourself."

Innovation in mechas is hard-won. Xie Ruheng only changed one step, which doesn't seem like a serious transformation. Instead, it seems like he abolished the biggest advantage of the basic defensive mecha and created a gimmick of a new mecha.

He didn't want to win too easily.

Xie Ruheng was speechless as he watched Gu Tunan walk into the mecha. He raised his head and looked at the real-time bullet screen above the spherical arena, which was like a vast sea of ​​stars. The bullet screen was shouting something like "A war of alpha love", "Xie Ruheng, if you lose, marry me", "Gu Tunan is so handsome", "Is it about to start? Is it about to start?"......

The dark phoenix eyes stared at all this quietly.

Then he turned and entered the bulky mech.

The heavy mecha is like a clumsy turtle. The original basic defense mecha has no bonus to speed. This new mecha not only seems to have zero bonus, but it even lags behind in all aspects of data.

Gu Tunan circled around the mecha carefully, and then he found that it was difficult for the mecha operated by Xie Ruheng to even turn around and observe the enemy.

[What is Xie Ruheng doing? If you don't move, you are a cuckold? ]

[Is this the mecha version of the turtle and rabbit race? It made me laugh]

[As expected, Xie Ruheng's new mecha is a junk mecha that everyone loves. My instructor came here for nothing.]

[That’s right. How can a slum dweller like Xie Ruheng come up with a new type of mecha? Unless you can find a treasure blueprint from a garbage dump.]

[Gu Tunan, stop circling around and overturn this turtle as soon as possible! I'm waiting for the money from your betting game! (Gu Tunan is overjoyed)]

As if it had heard the impatience of the bullet screen, the humanoid mecha in the martial arts arena suddenly rushed up like lightning, and the hidden thrust of the mechanical hand suddenly rose up! A punch hit Xie Ruheng's mecha's chest! The ground was shaking!

"ah!"

All the spectators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. When they saw the bulky mecha being knocked down by a punch and crashing to the ground, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Are you going to lose?

In full view of the crowd, the clumsy mecha slowly got up, and then was knocked down by Gu Tunan's punch!

Unlike his polite appearance, Gu Tunan's fighting style was unexpectedly bold and aggressive. Once he attacked, the muffled sound of bombardment never stopped, and the sound of thunder and lightning continued. His constantly changing movements made the arena full of smoke and the audience could hardly see Gu Tunan's movements.

[Shit, Xie Ruheng just stood there motionless and let Gu Tunan beat him! ]

[Today I have seen someone throw himself into someone's arms and get beaten. Xie Ruheng was afraid that Gu Tunan's blow was not enough, so he deliberately threw his chest towards the other person's fist.]

[It is reasonable to suspect that the bet on the outcome of the fight between Xie and Gu was placed by Xie Ruheng]

[Even a black turtle wouldn't be as frustrated as Xie Ruheng! ]

Tang Bai clutched his thigh unconsciously. The sharp sound of the mecha's friction made him want to cover his ears, but he looked at the scene masochistically.

Under such fierce and continuous attacks, the people inside the mecha might also be injured.

"Tangtang, don't worry too much..." Tong Meng's crying voice came to my ears.

Tang Bai gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not worried about Brother Xie. I trust him."

Tong Meng cried and said, "Then, then could you please stop pinching my thighs first?"

Tang Bai: “......!”

Tang Bai hurried to massage Tong Meng, but his mind was all on the battle. He saw Xie Ruheng's mecha being knocked down again and again, and standing up again and again.

The barrage went from mockery at the beginning to silence at this moment, and everyone watched quietly as the mecha struggled to stand up. The thick armor based on the transformation of the defense mecha finally couldn't withstand the damage and deep cracks appeared.

Through the pitch-black cracks, one could vaguely see Xie Ruheng's pale face.

Gu Tunan let out a breath, and the feeling of frustration that had been lingering in his heart finally dissipated for the most part.

He had never encountered such a tough basic mecha that could withstand his attacks for such a long time without suffering any damage until now.

It seems that Xie Ruheng's new mecha has made some innovations in defense. It has abandoned other unnecessary attributes and even left behind basic agility, in exchange for such amazing defensive power.

I wonder which step Xie Ruheng changed?

Especially the parts used by Xie Ruheng in the last step. He had never seen that kind of parts before. What role did that part play in this transformation?

Also, which mecha maker made this improvement?

It is very difficult to upgrade the defense points of basic defense mechas. Tens of thousands of mecha builders have tried to overcome this difficulty, but all have given up.

The five most basic mechas of the Federation were designed by Tang Lao, who spent half his life perfecting them. It is difficult for future generations to improve on them.

Being able to improve the defensive attributes is also a relatively good innovation. After the game is over, let's see if we can get something out of Xie Ruheng. He admires the unknown mecha maker very much. It would be best if he could ask him to help him customize a mecha...

Gu Tunan thought carelessly while controlling the mecha to continue attacking. When the combat system scanned the damage rate of Xie Ruheng's mecha and popped up a prompt of "Damage 97%", Gu Tunan hesitated for a moment, retracted the violent spikes in the attack system, and hammered forward with less force.

[Alert! Alert! The damage rate has reached 97%!!!]

The lazy phoenix eyes regained a bit of spirit because of this warning. Xie Ruheng coughed and tasted the blood in his throat.

When cracks appear on a mecha, its defensive capabilities are greatly weakened, and the attacks of opposing mechas can directly affect Xie Ruheng.

Although the defense of this mecha is very high, Xie Ruheng, even though he is a top alpha, was injured under the high-intensity attack. He lowered his head, and with a pale face, he sprayed a mouthful of blood mist at the operating console.

The beauty vomited blood, it's too bad, she needs to drink some nutrient solution

I only slept for two hours today because I was writing and reviewing. I really can't hold on any longer. I'll write a short chapter first and write a long one tomorrow!
