Chapter 586 Space Pirates (24)
Chapter 586 Space Pirates (24)
The video and Rosie's postwar report caused an immediate uproar after they were posted on the interstellar network.
There are currently no mechs in the country that can operate without consuming the pilot's mental energy. This sudden appearance seems fake no matter how you look at it.
However, even if it's fake, we still have to find out.
If these mechs were deployed on the battlefield, we wouldn't lose so many high-level mental strength personnel.
Some people who were unable to operate mechs due to their low mental strength level were also excited. Who wouldn't want to pilot a mech on the battlefield in their lifetime? That's their dream and pursuit.
In an instant, everyone sent invitations to Albuquerque, requesting that their spaceships be parked there and that the mechs be visited.
As Che Ziqin looked at the application records, one finally caught his attention. It was from their research institute, which said they wanted to study and learn from the genius mechanic.
In Che Ziqin's view, what they called learning was actually just looking for trouble. If it was fake, he would expose it; if it was real, he would bring it back to the research institute.
Since Xiong Bufan and his group cannot leave Albuquerque yet, Che Ziqin refused the research institute's request without hesitation. Then, based on the information he had previously received, he agreed to allow a rich second-generation's spaceship to dock.
That rich second-generation is Qian Lei, the eldest son of the Qian family, the richest family in the empire. He has nothing but money, and his biggest dream is to own his own mecha.
Before Che Ziqin was exiled, Qian Lei repeatedly approached him, hoping that Che Ziqin could research a mecha that didn't require specific mental strength, so that he, with his C-level mental strength, could also pilot it.
Che Ziqin did not possess the technology at the time, so he refused his request without hesitation.
Now that Xiong Bufan can build mechs that can be piloted without using mental energy, he naturally has no reason to refuse Qian Lei.
Che Ziqin then sent another message on the interstellar network, saying that they would ask a mechanical engineer to custom-make a mecha for one of the visitors.
This caused an uproar across the internet. Since it was said that the mecha was custom-made, then this mecha that could be piloted without mental power was most likely real.
Moreover, piloting a mecha is a lifelong endeavor. For those whose mental strength is below B-level, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, they should still give it a try.
At this moment, Xiong Bufan was unaware that Che Ziqin had already sold his next mecha and was enthusiastically repairing his own.
She had many ideas to add to the mecha, such as equipping the small robot with a gun, a cockpit, and a separate power source, emphasizing surprise attacks. However, the cockpit couldn't move with the small robot's rotation...
Che Ziqin selected a few wealthy individuals and members of several alliance parties, agreeing to their requests for the spaceship to dock and tour the site. After agreeing on the terms, he turned off the personal terminal.
Albuquerque is developing too slowly. At this rate, who knows when it will be able to return to the Empire?
From an outsider's perspective, Albuquerque has developed very quickly. In less than two years, it was acquired, built, and opened to the public for tours and mech construction.
Che Ziqin brought the tea-flavored nutritional supplement he had bought to Xiong Bufan's side. "Bufan, I want to discuss something with you."
Xiong Bufan put down his work, looked up, and said, "What do you want from me?"
Che Ziqin: "A group of people will be returning in a month, and I'd like you to help build a mecha for one of them."
"Give me all the money? I want to use Star Coins to buy new materials."
Che Ziqin nodded. "That's what you deserve."
"No problem, just tell them to prepare the materials."
"it is good."
Che Ziqin had expected to get a beating, but he was surprised by how well Xiong Bufan accepted the situation. He was even a little flattered and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
As a result, Xiong Bufan slapped him across the face, saying, "Don't you dare take advantage of me."
After being hit, Che Ziqin looked aggrieved and said, "I didn't, why did you hit me?"
Xiong Bufan: "I accidentally touched it. If you have nothing else to do, just leave and don't bother me while I'm working."
Che Ziqin didn't believe it for a second that it was a slip of the hand, but arguing would only result in a beating, so he reluctantly said, "Okay."
Xiong Bufan ignored Che Ziqin and continued to examine the gadget in his hand.
The path of weapon crafting is bright, and Xiong Bufan feels he can apply many of the things he desires to reality.
She can build flying balance bikes, self-aware wheelchairs, and small robots that can shoot someone in the head, and so on.
The opening of Albuquerque also attracted the attention of the royal family, including Yuwen Yanran.
Since the Cold War, Mo Hua has never mentioned bringing Ouyang Qian back, and Yuwen Yanran is really curious about what happened back then.
So she submitted an application to visit Albuquerque without hesitation. She planned to take Mo Hua with her when she went to see it, and if she saw what she wanted to see, she might even bring Mo Hua along.
Because of her royal status, she was easily rejected, so Yuwen Yanran directly fabricated the image of a rich second-generation and used her connections to get herself a spot to visit Alberk.
Yuwen Yanran sat lazily on the sofa, her glass filled with a wine-red, wine-scented nutrient solution. She had already investigated and found that the buyer from Alberk was a local native who had no connection to Ouyang Qian.
Ouyang Qian is now a pitiful creature with no background, forced to rely on others for survival.
Nothing is more enjoyable than watching your enemy suffer, especially when that enemy is living a miserable life.
Mo Hua was also concerned about Albuquerque. After the last message came back, Mo Hua went from initial resentment to eventual resentment and unwillingness to accept defeat.
He wanted to see Ouyang Qian. There was no particular reason, but if there was one, it might be to comfort his younger self.
Time is a wonderful thing; even just two short years is enough to change many perspectives and things.
Mo Hua and Yuwen Yanran are indeed a perfect couple; they chose the same method, and of course, it was approved in the end.
Evan originally intended to cause trouble, but considering that Mo Hua had already given up on Ouyang Qian, and that this trip might allow him to witness Ouyang Qian's most embarrassing moment, he agreed.
Ouyang Qian is incredibly lucky; indeed, wicked people live on for a thousand years.
Aiwen thought she was already dead, but he never expected to see Ouyang Qian's name in the census report sent by the planet's governor.
Mo Hua and Yuwen Yanran both went to Alberk without telling each other. They will most likely run into each other there. I wonder what it will be like then.
