Counterfeit Hero

Now that the plan has been finalized, under the arrangement of Dell, the technical department has put into intense work. The first issue that needs to be addressed is the feasibility study. This work that usually takes nearly a week was completed in less than six hours. The reason for the improved efficiency is simple. First, the modification steps given by Fatty are very complete, and you only need to follow the diagrams. Second, everyone found that there were almost no problems that could stump this guy, such as what transmission method to use, how to adjust the direction, which parts of the private mecha to replace, and which system is more suitable for the control system. This guy is called Zhang Yuan. The mechanic almost opened his mouth.

It only took six hours to complete the feasibility study because of repeated reviews under Christina's advice to ensure nothing went wrong. The mechanics who were completely obsessed with machinery were all very happy. Instead of being jealous, they were sincerely happy that the Paladin Company had such a mechanical genius. As the saying goes, if there are three people walking together, there must be one master. The biggest shortcomings of private mecha companies compared to mecha manufacturing companies lie in technological reserves and personnel training. This time with such a fat man who is like a mechanical encyclopedia, everyone in the technical department can foresee that their level will make great progress.

As for the modification of [King Kong], it will undoubtedly become a classic solution in the mecha modification industry. Traditional modifications include tinkering, replacing parts and engines, adding flying wings, propellers, or changing suspensions and stabilizing devices. The method has been completely broken. Although [King Kong] is a special type of mecha, the humanoid-to-animal-type model is not suitable for all mechas, but this does not affect the significance of this modification. Every machinist in the technical department is excited and proud to be personally involved in this work.

Serving for one's own motherland, for the imperial royal family, and for the famous [Mythical] Legion has filled everyone with a sense of honor, not to mention the rewards and fame that will be received after the successful modification, which is enough to make people excited in anticipation.

Christina could no longer describe her feelings on this night. Although she still had such a soft and gentle smile on her face, her emotions had already reached heaven. It was a feeling that she could finally be herself. The wonderful pride of a father who has done something vital, the excitement of finally seeing hope and taking it firmly into his own hands. All of this was brought about by the honest fat man in front of her. In her heart, Christina had regarded him as her best friend, a trustworthy person who had saved her family, unsophisticated and honest. A sincere friend.

Time is very tight. Within ten days, the military department will organize a special expert review group to review the modification. The [King Kong] modification task has been divided into several parts. The technical department has completely stopped providing technical support for private mecha repairs. All The personnel were divided into corresponding groups under Dell's arrangement and worked day and night on the modification work. Since two other maintenance companies were carrying out the same modification work at the same time, at Dell's insistence, all personnel in the technical department were accommodated and boarded in the technical department to avoid leaking the modification plan.

Tian Xingjian took the initiative to undertake the modification of the control system, which was the most important part of the modification task. This saboteur lurking within the empire racked his brains to improve the control system. This improvement was very successful. On the surface, the control was more stable and smoother than before. However, there is no hand that moves more than twenty times per second. Speed, it is simply a dream to control this mecha skillfully. It is impossible for the [Mythical] Legion to feel this. The hand speed of their soldiers must exceed twenty movements per second, and it is even less likely for ordinary soldiers to know what kind of mechas they have never come into contact with before. Variety.

This is the most important modification since the establishment of Paladin Company. The rest room of the technical department was already overcrowded. In addition to the original staff of the technical department, a dozen technicians with rich experience were temporarily transferred from the workshop to join. Everyone was in a state of exhaustion and excitement. As a private mechanic, , How many times can you have such an opportunity to make meritorious deeds in your life?

On the ninth day, when the brand-new King Kong stood in the maintenance station after final system debugging, some mechanics even shed tears. A masterpiece, this is truly a masterpiece. What is displayed in front of everyone is a beast-shaped mecha full of male power. The original strange shape of long legs and short legs has been changed by the typical beast-shaped mecha. It is as if this mecha has never been human-shaped. Its shape is born like this, full of power and explosive power. The forward tilt angle formed by the thick and slender forelimbs and short and stocky hind legs gives this mecha a domineering feeling, as if it is ready to jump at any time. Get up and tear apart any enemy in front of you with both hands.

Christina quietly looked at this mecha that was related to the future fate of the whole family. The tired corners of her mouth finally bloomed, and her cheeks were full of relaxation and joy, just like the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky. Comes the fresh and peaceful dawn. She quietly walked out of the technical department. She didn't have time to call George. Suddenly, what she wanted to do most was to see that silly fat man named Zhang Yuan. At this moment of success, she didn't even look. Looking at him, doesn't he know that today is the final day of debugging?

Christina walked cheerfully to the door of Tian Xingjian's room and knocked lightly. The moment she knocked on the door, she suddenly felt a little scared, what if this fat man walked out naked again wearing a pair of underpants? what to do?

Unfortunately, the fat man who opened the door was still naked and wearing pants, with a sleepy look on his face.

Christina sighed bitterly and was about to speak, but she saw the fat man sneaking into the room again. She couldn't help but be slightly startled. Does this guy know he is shy?

He tentatively pushed open the half-open door. The room was in a mess, as if it had just been robbed by robbers. After standing at the door for five minutes without seeing the fat man come out, Christina was a little annoyed. As a beautiful woman who had been the center of attention since she was a child, she was quite confident in herself, and she was already used to the admiring or lewd looks from men. Strange. But this was the first time she saw a fat man who completely ignored his existence.

After waiting patiently for a while, the fat man still didn't move. It seemed that she needed a lot of patience to wait for this guy to invite her in. Christina walked into the room helplessly and threw the fat man on the ground. Picked up a change of clothes. .

As soon as she entered the house, Christina heard the snoring of the fat man. The small area of ​​more than ten square meters was so messy that she couldn't even put her feet down, and the fat man was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Seeing this guy who had the ability to tangle himself into a mess with a quilt, Christina almost lost her temper. She dared to believe that this guy had been sleeping since he entered the room!

Half of the fat man's face lying on the pillow has been deformed by the backlog, his mouth is open with an innocent look on his face, and he is sleeping soundly. Christina stamped her foot lightly and finally resisted the urge to drag the fat man up. She rolled up her sleeves and began to tidy up the room skillfully and deftly. This was something she was used to doing since she had always lived independently. In just a moment, the originally messy room was tidied up.

After throwing the dirty clothes into the washing machine and starting the automatic laundry program on the computer in the center of the room, Christina was also a little sleepy. She had been working day and night these past few days and had not slept for three consecutive days. She felt relaxed at this time. After I fell asleep, I couldn't resist the overwhelming feeling of sleepiness. The room was unusually quiet, with only the antique clock on the wall ticking, and occasionally a fat man snoring. Christina sat comfortably on the sofa. This room gave her a subconscious sense of safety. feel. She had always been strict with her appearance, but in such an environment, she unknowingly relaxed little by little. In a daze, she took off her high heels, curled up on the sofa and fell asleep after a while. On fire.

She was groggy and didn't know how long she had slept. The curled up position made her body a little uncomfortable. After an unknown amount of time, Christina felt a little cold. She pulled the quilt over, and the quilt was warm and comfortable.

Sleep for a while again, quilt? Christina suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes suddenly, only to find that she and the fat man were lying on the same bed. The quilt had been completely wrapped around her body, and the guy who was still sleeping with his back to her was pitifully sleeping. Curl up into a ball.

Oh my God, she actually got into bed and snatched his quilt. Christina's face felt a little hot, and she quickly jumped out of bed. She was a little helpless grabbing the quilt in her hand, like a hot potato, and she couldn't put it down. It's not that I don't want to let go, but I want to cover the fat man, but I'm afraid that it will wake him up and make him more embarrassed. I wanted to put it aside, but I couldn't bear it when I saw the fat man huddled up pitifully.

After hesitating while holding the quilt, the fat man suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and sat up suddenly, exclaiming: "How did you get in? What are you doing? Why are you holding my quilt?" This bitch suddenly The expression on the face of the victimized woman was one of horror.

Christina was so ashamed and embarrassed that she couldn't speak. The fat man was in a sleep state and probably didn't even know about opening the door to let her in. Out of embarrassment, he quickly came up with ideas, threw the quilt in his hand on the fat man, and said angrily: "Get up quickly! Don't you know that the mecha is undergoing final debugging today, and you are still sleeping here."

When the fat man heard this, he said with a bitter face: "I haven't slept for four days. If I don't sleep anymore, I will die." He looked at his body and said with pity, "Look, how thin I have become."

Christina resisted the urge to laugh loudly or beat up the fat man. She blushed and feigned anger: "Mr. Dale asked me to call you. It's up to you whether to go or not." After saying this, she didn't wait for the fat man. He replied, turned around and ran out of the room as if running away.

As soon as I walked to the corridor of the lounge, the fat man's cry came from the room: "Whose room is this? Don't run away, where are my clothes? Who stole my clothes? There is a thief!"

The two cleaners in the corridor looked at each other.

Christina lowered her head and accelerated her departure.

Hearing the door slam shut, a smile appeared on the fat man's face.

*****************************

Russell took the tea handed over by Hamid and asked casually: "Have you contacted Tian using the Albert cipher machine?"

Hamid nodded and said: "We have contacted him, and all the intelligence and information have been passed on to him."

Russell put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Just looking at this cipher machine, you have to admit that the technological level of the Leray Federation is much higher than that of the Gacharin Empire. What is needed is to transform these technologies into military power. It’s just time. Especially with the support of Leray’s strong industrial power, it won’t be long before Gacharin will be left far behind in this regard.”

Hamid's usually serious face showed a rare smile: "The situation in the Galileo galaxy is already very illustrative. Whether it is facing the Federation's new warships or its powerful transportation capacity, the Gacharin Empire is helpless. They are far away from The day of failure is not far away.”

"In terms of national strength, it is true." Russell walked to the window and looked out the window at the mountains behind the college. "But don't forget that they also have Liebgot. The Battle of Lucerne has just begun. He seems to be In order to preserve our strength, opponents like this will always surprise us at critical moments. We have to guard against them."

"But you also made a good move, didn't you?"

"Yes, this is a chess piece that is far away from Bo Kill."

Russell's face was full of expectation: "A chess piece that will change the entire chess game at a critical moment!"

***************************

On the day of the review by the military department, Tian Xingjian was promoted. He was given a new contract and the position of deputy director of the technical department. Everyone in the company could see a fat man smiling from ear to ear with his face glowing with pride.

[King Kong] was put into a sealed chassis and pulled by a giant truck straight to the No. 2 North Building of the Military Headquarters. This is the place for this expert review, and it is also the location of the [Mythical] Legion. In order to cope with the review, Paladin Company sent a technical team of ten people to prepare hundreds of documents and a complete series of data.

For Christina, this is a battle that leaves no room for negligence.

The Mythical Legion is a division-level organization stationed in a base between the military headquarters and the palace. In a sense, the Mythic Legion is closer to the core of the empire, and they are under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family. The military can only issue orders to it through the royal family. Except for the emperor's warrant, the Mythical Legion does not accept orders from anyone. Reinhardt, the commander of the legion, was born into the hereditary noble family of Gacharin and was deeply trusted by James. In the entire Gacharin political system, he is independent and aloof. Even Russell, the empire's number one general who was once at the top of his game, was only on equal footing with Reinhardt.

Now, the 35-year-old army commander is standing at the door of North Building No. 2 with a smile, greeting the experts who have come to participate in the review. If it weren't for his unique uniform and the rank of general on his shoulders, no one would believe that this tall, handsome and aristocratic young man, who always has an elegant smile on his face, is the only ninth-level mecha warrior in the empire. Reinhardt, the commander of the mythical army who holds the most mysterious and powerful power. .

Seeing the experts arriving in a special car with the logo of the Mythical Legion, Reinhard greeted them enthusiastically, held the hand of Michelle, the dean of the Mechanical Design Institute of Tanvir Military University, who came first, and said repeatedly: "Welcome, welcome, Thank you for your hard work, old professor."

Michel and Reinhardt have worked together many times and are very familiar with each other. He smiled and said: "People say that Corporal Lixian, General Reinhardt, you can be regarded as a role model for the superiors of the empire. Every time we come here, The first thing I see is you who greets everyone at the door. For this reason, we are willing to work no matter how hard it is!"

The experts standing behind Michelle nodded in agreement and marveled.

Reinhardt smiled heartily and said: "You are all my elders. Reinhardt dare not forget this word of etiquette. Besides, you are valuable talents of the empire and the people I respect the most. It is natural for you to come to greet me." , I feel a little ashamed for everyone to say this. The wind is strong in autumn, please come in, gentlemen."

"please."

The group of people had a harmonious atmosphere, chatting and laughing. As soon as they reached the door, they heard the roar of giant trucks. One after another, giant trucks followed the guide road and drove into the headquarters of the Mythical Legion. The staff of the three maintenance companies The modified mechas actually arrived together.

Seeing this scene, Reinhard couldn't help but stop. These three civilian mecha companies are the three largest in the empire, and their technical strength is considered strong in the civilian modification industry. It is the first time that such a special military mecha is modified, and I don’t know what the result will be. Reinhardt has some expectations. After all, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the people, and maybe there will be some talents worthy of investment.

Watching three giant trucks slowly drive into the passage of the underground mecha testing site, Reinhardt and the experts smiled at each other and walked into Building 2 together.

The fat man followed Christina looking around, like a country bumpkin entering the city. The architecture of the Gacharin Empire was very different from that of the Federation, especially the central area where the palace was located, which was rich in ancient earth goths. The Chinese-style building is solid, simple yet magnificent. It is famous for its towering spire, slender windows, rich carvings and tall and spacious interior space. Coupled with the exquisite carvings and ivy climbing all over the walls, the entire central area of ​​​​Tanwil is full of European style from the 13th century on ancient earth.

Led by an officer, the group walked through the long arc-domed corridor, then took the elevator down, and arrived at the No. 1 Mecha Testing Site of the Mythical Legion.

In the venue, three giant trucks have parked under the sign with the name of the company. The sealed box is still not opened, but the experts are already sitting upright on the observation platform. Just waiting for the modification technical team to arrive and officially start the review.

The mechanics from the three private mecha companies looked at each other with complicated expressions. This mission was the toughest the mechanics had ever been exposed to. Although the confidentiality level of the mechas I have come into contact with before is higher than this mecha, the task is only to help consider how to improve it from the perspective of private mechas. But this time, it was not only required to find the flaws of the mecha, but also to come up with a practical modification plan that did not involve major changes in the organization and carry out actual modifications.

The most shocking thing is that the unit being reviewed is actually the Mythical Legion. Everyone has heard that civilian mecha companies will be taken over by the military in the future. This mecha modification was done with the intention of competition from the beginning. Every company has put in 200% of its efforts to take the lead in this competition.

Who will win? Before the mecha was displayed, no one was sure, not even Christina. This competition was too important to her, so it was inevitable that she would be worried about gains and losses. There was only one person who acted as if nothing had happened, and that was the heartless fat man Zhang Yuan. Christina suddenly calmed down when she saw this guy looking around with curiosity, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When the technical staff of the three companies sat on their assigned seats, a female leader of the Mythical Legion announced that the review had begun. The first one to appear was the Karoka Machinery Company in the West District. This is the largest private mecha company in the Gacharin Empire. It has very strong technical strength. When their mechas are displayed in front of everyone, everyone Everyone gasped.

The upper body of this [King Kong] is still the same, but its lower body has been completely changed. Christina and Dale looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that Caroka Company was so strong. They completely changed the structure of the mecha, and combined the heavy private mecha [Warrior] The entire lower part was transplanted, and the upper body of [King Kong] was shortened. This means that except for key parts such as the head and energy weapon system, all other systems of this [King Kong] have been changed. Including the control system, transmission system, and even the engine, all are replaced! Regardless of the effect of such modifications, judging from these superficial changes alone, Karoka Company has the capabilities of a medium-sized mecha company!

The fat man looked very scornful about this, and said in his heart: "If patchwork means modification, I am a master in the modification industry! When escaping, there are many modifications like this. In terms of mecha performance, it is not necessarily Worse than this weird thing!”

The data of this modified mecha was displayed on the virtual screen. The sensational venue gradually calmed down. The changes to this mecha were indeed too great. Such changes could not be completely completed within ten days. Therefore, from the data It seems that not all aspects have been improved, and some data are even not as good as the previous prototype. Among them, the most significant improvement is balance and control, which is where Caroka Company concentrates its efforts.

The intention of Karoka Company is very obvious. Since such mecha modification is too difficult, if they can't find a better solution, they simply don't consider other things and show their strength through such modification. This is The only way.

After the Karoka Company, there was the Sarodi Mecha Company in the North District. When their mecha was displayed in front of everyone, everyone laughed. The appearance of this mecha is at the other end of the spectrum compared to the Karoka Company. [King Kong] is still the same, with no changes except for the addition of an auxiliary thruster on the back. However, some parts and components inside the mecha have been changed. From the data point of view, they are much better than before.

The fat man shook his head, and the experts also shook their heads. These increased data were superficial. Greater power and stronger energy supply may not be suitable for all mechas. In particular, the booster was used to try to increase the explosive power at startup, but one did not know that this change only made it more difficult to control the inertia of the mecha, and it did not help the exposed points of the chest and back. .

Reinhardt was a little disappointed. Obviously, these two mechas were far from his expectations. The mechas of Sarodi Company are too conservative, and although the mechas of Karoka Company show their strength, they have no practical effect. It is impossible for such mechas to be put on the production line. And it is impossible for the soldiers of the Mythical Legion to adapt to such extreme structural changes. If that were the case, it would be better to accept the advice of the military and wait for the development of new mechas.

Looking at the time, there was still a not-so-important meeting in ten minutes. Reinhardt stood up and said goodbye to the experts and was about to leave. He had a habit of never letting himself see his last hope shattered before his eyes. Paladin Corporation, whether it worked or not, stayed on the report, and he didn't want to be disappointed just yet.

As soon as Reinhard reached the door, a man suddenly caught up and stopped him.

A woman with impeccable charm and temperament, Christina.

Reinhard stopped. The last time he saw Christina, she was still reading. At that royal ball, the apple of Admiral Gordon's eye shyly hid aside and refused everyone's invitation. At that time, she was far less beautiful than she is now.

Reinhardt's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to recall that loving look at the ball. The one who was watching him in the corner. It wasn't until his eyes met hers that he lowered his head in panic, his ears and swans turning red with embarrassment. A girl with a fair neck.

Five years is enough for a young girl to grow into a beautiful and elegant woman. Now this woman was standing in front of him, stopping him. Her charming eyes still had the same obsessed and shy look from five years ago. Watching a blush slowly appear on Christina's face, watching the blush extend to the base of her ears and her neck.

Reinhardt smiled. He sincerely hoped that the modified mecha from Paladin Company would give him a reason to miss that less important meeting.

That boring military meeting with Stephen and his federal teacher Liebgot. .
