Chapter 009 Attempt
This nearly brand-new mech is the "Void Hunter" Type III, a bronze one-star model, and is one of the few non-standard mechs provided by the school. It was only distributed a few months ago!
More powerful creators can independently design and etch more complex and functionally advanced energy magic square matrices, refine and process certain rare special metals, and even integrate and alter specific arrangements and combinations of certain metal molecules to obtain the high-performance equipment components they require
Qin Huang felt somewhat surprised; he had heard from his teacher about this precious mineral resource. Even within the entire human civilization, it is considered an extremely important strategic material. Apart from high-level mechas, it is also utilized in many large industrial equipment, star battleships, and certain strategic weapons.
Of course, this is only under normal circumstances; once on the battlefield, even the most precious equipment may not have such favorable maintenance conditions
Undoubtedly, such a process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and exceedingly difficult. Even skilled artisans are prone to multiple failures, resulting in the processing costs of each advanced mech module skyrocketing to an astonishing level
In other words, he can barely be considered an apprentice to a master, although the level of his teacher is quite lacking
Very good! It seems that your skills have improved again!" Sha Zhenghai said with satisfaction. After leaving the cockpit and sending all the assistants away, he called him into a nearby enclosed workspace to get down to business
This is an important component of the bronze mech, belonging to the defense module, which can play a significant auxiliary role in the stability of the mech's energy shield and reduce energy loss to a certain extent. In terms of design effectiveness, it has already reached the standard of bronze two-star level—if it can be successfully completed.
With the assistance of the intelligent robotic arm, Qin Huang carefully removed the optical detection module from the back of the mech. First, he performed demagnetization and noise reduction treatment, then sealed it in an ultrasonic cleaner, pressed the switch, and initiated a deep cleaning process, which continued for two minutes before he turned it off and took it out
It seems that even if this individual cannot become a high-level mobile warrior in the future, with this skill alone, he will still be able to find a good job
Teacher, why don't I handle the initial steps of this process?" Qin Huang quickly said
Wipe the surface of the components with a specially designed dust-proof cloth, then connect the dedicated testing equipment to individually test the operational status of the module. Only after confirming that no issues exist will it be reinstalled, after which the next component will be disassembled for processing
Indeed! Sha Zhenghai nodded in agreement
This is one of the primary tasks of the creator, which involves etching specific energy matrix patterns for particular purposes onto specially designed high-grade alloy components, thereby enhancing their performance and endowing them with greater and more powerful effects
Moments later, beads of sweat began to form on Sha Zhenghai's forehead, his breathing rate became increasingly irregular, and the stability of the mental energy output on the instrument showed subtle fluctuations. Qin Huang's heart also began to feel uneasy.
Qin Huang could tell that with Teacher Sha Zhenghai's abilities, it was still somewhat challenging to complete the processing of this advanced component. To his knowledge, there had already been four failures. This was the fifth attempt, and the progress had reached 75.3%. Whether it could successfully reach the final step with the * diagram * still depended on luck
After chatting for a while, Sha Zhenghai said: "Alright! Since you are here, first help me tidy up this big machine. Once we finish, we will see if we can extract that component, and finally, I will share some tips on mecha maintenance with you."
This is not the first time he has done this; he is already thoroughly familiar with every component of this mech and the entire disassembly and maintenance process. His operation is as smooth as flowing water and methodical, and his skills are nearly on par with those of professional repair technicians
With the sophisticated techniques of advanced creators, the meticulously crafted mecha, once fully assembled, can possess capabilities far exceeding those of standard mecha, thus becoming a formidable weapon on the battlefield that instills fear in the enemy. At critical moments, it can even play a pivotal role in turning the tide of battle
If the students have keen eyesight, they can see that the surface of the sphere is adorned with intricately detailed patterns, layered upon one another, appearing to have dozens of layers. Under the interplay of light and shadow, it looks stunningly beautiful; these are the etched energy matrix patterns that have taken shape.
For such advanced equipment, the maintenance and upkeep procedures cannot be treated casually like those for standard commercial products. It is essential to have specialized mechanics, along with a substantial amount of professional maintenance equipment, to follow strict operational protocols, all conducted in a quiet and dust-free environment
The extremely stringent entry requirements have resulted in a scarcity of formally qualified creators, particularly those who excel in high-end mecha design and construction, making these elite creators a rare phenomenon
Other countries and organizations are not clear about Qin Huang, but in the Yanyun Federation, there are only two officially qualified silver creators who are capable of manufacturing mechas. At most, they can only forge silver series mechas, while higher-level ones require luck and countless rare resources to accumulate
As expected, after struggling for several seconds, a few faint sparks suddenly emerged from within the sphere, and the matrix pattern that had just begun to take shape quickly dimmed, indicating that this attempt had once again failed
A few individuals acted together, coordinating closely. After more than half an hour, all components of the mech had been maintained and reassembled. Finally, Sha Zhenghai personally boarded the machine to conduct a test start, and the results indicated that everything was normal
This is a straightforward truth: any planet with significant resources, no matter how remote, will inevitably attract the attention of high-level government officials at the earliest opportunity, and will receive preferential support in terms of development resources and funding. Humans are inherently profit-driven beings, and nothing can stimulate their enthusiasm more than the prospect of wealth.
Sha Zhenghai wore a large azure mental energy sensing headband on his head, while more than ten mental energy amplification auxiliary spheres floated and rotated around him. They emitted waves of mental fluctuations to issue commands, controlling the precise instruments on the workbench to operate steadily, carefully and meticulously handling the components before him
"It should be this way; otherwise, why would I take you on as a student?" Sha Zhenghai snorted, tossing the component to him
Qin Huang stood beside, observing through the high-magnification sensing microscope on his head. He could see that those beams were etching minute energy matrix patterns on the inner wall of the sphere, following a specific energy flow sequence, gradually and meticulously, with a precision that had reached the nanometer level
I refuse to believe that I cannot produce this item! After taking an organic biological recovery agent and resting for a moment with the *illustration* book, Sha Zhenghai took out another brand new component from the safe, gritting his teeth and preparing to start over.
The young man donned the mental amplification equipment, followed the operational procedures to activate the workstation, and began to work cautiously and meticulously.
Qin Huang naturally did not refuse, quickly changed into work clothes in the changing room, and went over to help
This is not the first time such matters have occurred. In order to conserve mental energy and also to provide training for this inexpensive student, certain procedures that carry low risk and are relatively easy to complete are entrusted to Qin Huang for handling
Recently, the school authorities are sending personnel to conduct an investigation and confirm the situation. Once the facts are verified, not only will we receive substantial rewards and gain more funding and resource support, but even this relatively unimportant immigrant planet will come into the view of the federal leadership, and the subsequent rapid economic development is a foregone conclusion
... ...
Once the strength of a creator advances further, they can independently design and manufacture certain powerful weapons and equipment. Particularly, in the important occupational branch of mecha creators, the formidable non-standard mechas are essentially all crafted by their hands
Is it possible that there are still such mineral veins on Dinnan Star? If so, that would be wonderful he said
Due to the excessively intricate and complicated processing procedures of advanced mechas, large-scale industrial mass production is simply not feasible; they can only be handcrafted by the creators themselves. However, this profession of creators is not something just anyone can pursue; it is a special high-end occupation that is even rarer than advanced energy practitioners.
The sky-blue alloy component hovers above the workbench, suspended by a repulsive magnetic field, slowly rotating. Its appearance resembles an irregular hollow sphere, with countless fine and intricate beams of deep blue light penetrating from the outside into the interior of the sphere, occasionally emitting rhythmic flashes of light and darkness.
In other words, without a sufficient economic foundation, one should not expect to cultivate a true creator. Sha Zhenghai himself is not particularly wealthy, yet he has the confidence to continuously invest money in this field, suggesting there may be undisclosed circumstances at play.
Craftsmen capable of independently designing non-standard mechas, even the most basic bronze craftsmen, are highly valued strategic talents. Regardless of the major country or large organization, they receive exceptional treatment and can negotiate various generous conditions at will
Without mentioning anything else, the extremely stringent requirements for the intensity and stability of mental strength alone are enough to keep over 99% of candidates at the threshold! The remaining few, after extensive training and learning, and after consuming an unimaginable amount of precious resources, may have the possibility of achieving success in this professional field
However, this is the reality. The formidable power of advanced mechas is well known; they cannot be obtained as easily as a head of cabbage. Even legendary divine-level creators cannot avoid making mistakes. It is essential to engage in continuous experimentation, relying on substantial financial and material resources, and after experiencing numerous failures, only then can a few finished products be produced.
Ah! I knew it... This half-baked creator sighed helplessly, stopped his actions, resentfully removed the mental control headband, and tossed the defective component aside.
High-end components worth tens of thousands of star coins have just gone to waste! Fortunately, the metal materials can still be recycled, which can help recover some of the losses. If it were those non-recyclable rare materials, a failure would mean a significant loss!
