Chapter 10: Small Successes

As Yuan Ye's footsteps drew closer, the words of the "rap artist" gradually became clearer in his ears. At this moment, he was engaged in a series of self-introductions, stating that his name was Wei Dong, a graduate of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Aiya Air Combat Academy, and an old friend of the senior management of Matia and the president of the Aiya Air Combat Academy. If everyone could listen to his explanations on the repair of magnetic helicopters, gaining admission to the Aiya Air Combat Academy would be absolutely feasible, and there would even be opportunities to work at the Matia Air Force Base.

Victory is in sight

In several makeshift shelters, Yuan Ye listened attentively, yet he could not help but shake his head inwardly; his foundation was too shallow, and he could not comprehend those profound concepts.

Moreover, the driving tips that Wei Dong mentioned, whether intentionally or unintentionally, have greatly benefited him

A few seconds later, when Yuan Ye opened his eyes again, his gaze became calm yet sharp, devoid of any superfluous movements. Yuan Ye swiftly grabbed two metal balls and quickly inserted them into the holes with his fingers

Once again sitting back in the chair, Yuan Ye carefully unfolded the tattered notebook, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his face, as he had just recalled the moment when Xiao San saw him repair the "watermelon slice"; her astonished mouth nearly stretched to her ears, and that comical expression truly made one find it amusing

The sheer number of people surprised Yuan Ye somewhat, but upon reflection, he understood. Ever since the air combat theorist Ferguson proposed his theories on aerial warfare several hundred years ago, and after centuries of practical validation, air combat has increasingly taken a dominant role in warfare. Often, a federation or an empire's military capability is assessed based on the number of outstanding pilots and the performance of their achievements, while other military branches are relegated to a supporting role.

After handing over the repaired "Watermelon Petal" to Xiao San, Yuan Ye's life seemed to settle down once again. Accustomed to being weighed down by that "Watermelon Petal," he found it somewhat difficult to adapt to its sudden absence, as if he had lost something, and it felt as though he had suddenly become aimless.

For individuals who engage in such deceptive practices, Yuan Ye can only feel helpless

Not working in the morning does not actually have any impact on Yuan Ye's life at present, because with his work efficiency, he can complete a full day's work in just one afternoon.

In this era where aerial combat is all the rage, ordinary citizens are also greatly influenced. Anything related to aerial combat or the sky tends to become extremely popular. For instance, a driving school named "Dadi Driving School" is not as popular as one called "Feixiang Driving School".

He suddenly realized that this guy named Wei Dong, although only a novice when it came to magnetic helicopters, had unique insights into the repair of magnetic vehicles. Moreover, during his explanation, he would also share some tips on driving magnetic vehicles. From these tips, it could be inferred that Wei Dong's driving skills were quite exceptional

However, this wonderful feeling did not last long. Soon after the state of heightened awareness, intense side effects struck him again. At that moment, he had no choice but to gulp down two mouthfuls of plain water, collapse onto the bed, furrow his brow, and wait for the unbearable side effects to pass.

Beneath the podium, there sat many young boys and girls dressed in peculiar outfits, appearing to be fans of this "rapper"

Taking half a day to recharge oneself and allowing for personal growth through books is indeed a good choice, Yuan Ye thought to himself

Everywhere, there are makeshift shelters constructed from thin metal, and on the platform inside, some technicians are explaining the repair of magnetic helicopters. Below the platform, there is a full audience, consisting of both young individuals and those of slightly older age.

The venue for the exchange meeting is located in a small park in Aya City. As Yuan Ye entered the park, he immediately saw various models and sizes of magnetic helicopters scattered throughout the area. Each magnetic helicopter was surrounded by a diverse group of people, engaging in conversation with one another

Moreover, after continuous scrutiny, he finally discovered the emblem of a certain racing club on the shirt inside Wei Dong's coat

An envelope fell out from the torn notebook, containing the tickets for the magnetic helicopter conference, which is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Moreover, the owner of the repair shop has already informed him that he does not need to come to work in the mornings anymore

Such a scene piqued Yuan Ye's curiosity, and he slowly approached.

The sound of dripping water

Several hundred years ago, parents' greatest hope was to cultivate their children to be close to the television, whereas now parents spare no effort in nurturing their children to reach the heavens

Meanwhile, Yuan Ye, who was listening to Wei Dong's explanation, found himself inadvertently benefiting from the situation. Although Yuan Ye was well-versed in magnetic levitation vehicles, his knowledge was entirely acquired through practical experience, and he had very little understanding of the theoretical aspects. However, hearing Wei Dong's theoretical explanation of magnetic levitation vehicles provided him with additional assistance.

This almost speech-like promotion captivated the group of young boys and girls below, their eyes shining with excitement. The individual named Wei Dong aimed to attract more listeners, so that those without tickets tomorrow would have to pay to attend his class.

After failing twice more, Yuan Ye's forehead was beaded with a layer of white sweat. After so much time spent exploring, Yuan Ye was very clear that the first five attempts were crucial to success or failure. He believed that after these five attempts, the body would be in its best condition, and the chances of extraordinary performance would significantly decrease.

After nearly twenty minutes of "speech," Wei Dong finally began to get to the point. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Yuan Ye couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. His first sentence upon entering the main topic was: "The characteristics of magnetic helicopters have many similarities with magnetic vehicles, so before explaining magnetic helicopters, I will first talk about the basic structure of magnetic vehicles."

Just as Yuan Ye was feeling somewhat disheartened and was preparing to wander elsewhere, his gaze suddenly focused on a red makeshift tent not far away. On the platform stood a young man in his twenties, who had an ordinary appearance and was dressed in flamboyant clothing, looking nothing like a mechanic who had long been dealing with machinery; instead, he gave off the impression of a rapper.

In this state of heightened awareness, in his eyes, his own hands still moved as slowly as an ox, but compared to before, they had improved by an unknown number of times.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Ye held his breath, striving to bring his body to its optimal state. He grasped the metal ball once more and repeated the previous action

Yuan Ye simply bypassed the "exhibition area" of the magnetic helicopter, crossed a small stream, and entered the explanation area regarding the repair of magnetic helicopters

Wei Dong's teaching level is actually quite poor, but his words are very witty. In fact, he only spent two years as an auditor at the Aiyakong and Tushuzhan Academy, so his attendance in class was naturally inconsistent. However, he has a slight connection with Professor Chen Dongling from the Aiyakong Academy, as he is Chen Dongling's nephew

Just as Yuan Ye revealed a faint smile and was about to insert the metal ball from Lesson 25 into the hole, a familiar sound rang out, causing the metal ball in the hole to scatter once again

It is important to recognize that the driving techniques mentioned in that worn notebook are indeed profound. Such a notebook is very beneficial for improvement, but it does not provide much help in consolidating the fundamentals. However, what Wei Dong discusses aligns perfectly with the purpose of reinforcing the basics. Areas that were once puzzling have now become clear, which is exactly to Yuan Ye's liking

Yuan Ye did not give up at this point; he quickly grabbed the metal ball and started over

Just as I was about to leave, Yuan Ye's footsteps suddenly came to a halt

Relying on this connection, he set up a "small stall" here under the introduction of Chen Dongling, intending to earn some pocket money

Yuan Ye strolled around a bit, and the discussions surrounding the magnetic helicopters were all about their performance and design principles. These topics were completely incomprehensible to Yuan Ye, whose cultural knowledge was rather limited.

Yuan Ye is already thoroughly familiar with the basic structure of the magnetic levitation vehicle. Since he started working at the repair shop, he has personally disassembled no fewer than eight hundred of these vehicles.

Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Yuan Ye's lips curved slightly into a smile. At this moment, the 5,000 star coins seemed to matter less to him; what was truly important was the overwhelming sense of achievement surging within him, a feeling that was indescribably wonderful

However, it must be said that although Wei Dong is an unqualified amateur in the field of magnetic helicopters, he is a fervent enthusiast of magnetic vehicles. Not only does he possess a unique understanding of magnetic vehicles themselves, but his driving skills are also quite impressive

However, in this state of heightened awareness, Yuan Ye, although fully aware that his remaining opportunities were limited, did not panic; the more tense he became, the calmer he remained. This was another benefit brought about by this state.

The location of the Magnetic Helicopter's conference is in close proximity to the Aya Air Combat Academy. Although the Aya Air Combat Academy is not considered a prestigious institution within the Federation, it is regarded as a gem in the city of Aya.

the twenty-first, the twenty-second

Yuan Ye, who had been standing outside the makeshift shelter, remained indifferent. Having wandered for a period of time, he possessed a keen insight into the ways of the world that far surpassed his peers. He understood that such an opening statement was merely a means to attract people, and that the true essence would be revealed in the subsequent explanations of various repair knowledge.

It must be said that the previous shot bought him quite a bit of time

This time, Yuan Ye employed a clever method; for the first and second metal balls, he almost flicked them in with his fingers, and only starting from the third one did he return to the normal motion

As Yuan Ye placed the twenty-fifth metal sphere into the hole, a crisp sound emanated from the "watermelon slice," and then the twenty-five metal spheres began to rotate in the air in a regular manner. The speed was not fast, but it appeared very orderly, emitting a faint, strange glow, making it look quite beautiful

However, soon Yuan Ye's gaze was drawn to that worn notebook. Although he could barely manage the folded fan-shaped drift now, his movements were not entirely pure. Moreover, the folded fan-shaped drift was merely the tip of the iceberg in the entire set of notes, as there were many more challenges awaiting his completion.
