After half a year's assessment, Ryan became a full-fledged member as he wished, and was included in the first team directly under the University of Wisconsin. There were 22 teammates including him and Lilith. They were called the direct descendants of Colonel William by others. Sometimes jokes were made in the team. When she got up, she said that she was the son/daughter of Colonel William, and her status in the entire mecha repair team can be imagined.
Only the best group of talents will be favored by Colonel William and focus on training.
"We will arrive at the B612 asteroid in eight days. After two days of free movement, we will start a confrontation match. The red and blue teams will be determined by drawing lots." The captain of the team is named Su Ming, who is of pure Chinese descent. He retains the Chinese surname, Chinese customs, Chinese Etiquette, is a person who is not tall but very polite and responsible.
He smiled and looked at everyone in his team, his eyes did not linger on the newcomers Ryan and Lilith for a moment, and he did not give any preferential treatment or special instructions. "Of course, this will happen in a few days. It's too early to say anything more. At present, we still focus on the maintenance of the mechs on the ship, so don't relax your requirements. Ryan, Lilith, you have become the official Members have been there for a few days, how do you feel? If you have any questions, you can ask, if you are not used to it... you can’t solve it by telling us, you can only adapt yourself.”
At the team summary at the end of the week, Su Ming made a joke with a smile.
The others grinned, it was just a smile, no one could laugh out loud at such a joke.
Su Ming is also used to it, and continued to say on his own: "If you don't bring it up now, there is no chance. If you say it, everyone can complain together. If you can't help in a substantive way, at least you will feel better in your heart." .”
The old team members looked at the two newcomers. A man and a woman looked like a couple. When they first arrived, everyone was coaxing them to get married in situ, but Ryan said that he was married, and most of the single teammates jealous.
Under the eyes of everyone, Lilith said with a cold face: "No." What is there? Colonel William said that if he dared to embarrass him by joining his direct line team, he would go home and throw away all the dolls on her bed , and told the whole world that Lilith still plays with dolls in her twenties.
Pity.
The veterans are still waiting to laugh at the newcomers.
These two newcomers are not like newcomers at all, and there is no fun in bullying them.
A newcomer said, the other must have a problem.
Ryan can only make everyone regret once more, "No." When he encounters a problem, he will ask the people around him in time, and will not keep a small problem and drag it into a big problem.
"Since there is no one, let's disband at the same place." Su Ming announced the disbandment, and everyone left one after another, only Ryan walked at the end. "Lian, I know where the three-type shock absorber you mentioned before is available. How much do you want?"
"I want twelve." The small mech designed and manufactured by Ryan has been made into two-thirds, and some missing parts have been gathered together. He made a list after staying in the new team for a few days. Find a chance to show Su Ming. Su Ming has a nickname of Mobile Parts Library, he has a hobby of collecting parts, and he also knows how to collect parts on the Xingtian ship. If he can't be assigned to the direct line team, he will find a chance to meet Su Ming.
"It's probably a new shock absorber, 200 star coins a piece." Su Ming's business is to pay for it and deliver the goods, with a clearly marked price, no deception.
"Okay, when can I get it?"
"Where do you live?"
Ryan said: "It's in District X, No. 1806. Get out of the elevator, turn left and walk straight. I have a dormitory over there."
"It turned out to be there. The dormitory is quite big. I applied to move there before. As you know, there are too many things in my dormitory. I need a larger space, but the logistics don't allow it, so I can only let it go." .” Su Ming has deep qualifications and a high position, but he doesn’t have any pretensions of a team leader, and he is a very easy-going person in private.
Ryan thought to himself, if you live here, where will I live when I come? There is no more private dormitory in the entire Xingtian Ship.
"I'll send it over at night, you wait in the dormitory."
"Okay." Ryan nodded.
After parting with Su Ming, he went to the restaurant to buy lunch, fish fillets in tomato sauce, beef stewed in red wine, and a fried chicken leg. The staple food was fried rice with seafood. It is estimated that the water was not enough when cooking the rice, it was very hard, and it would take repeated cooking. Chewing can ensure that it can be digested by the stomach after swallowing. Returning to the dormitory after dinner, the dormitory without the planting cabin seemed empty and deserted.
Without that person, it's just a place to rest and sleep.
Ryan stood at the door to clean up his mood, shook his head and walked in to take out the small mecha and various parts and tools he assembled. Opening the box, there are two legs and an arm lying inside. He is about to start working on the second arm, and there is a stack of blueprints beside the arm. Changing from a large manned mecha to a small guard mecha is not a big process. , Know everything, and the small ones are easy to do.
There is no need to connect neurons, and there is no need to consider the operation of mecha warriors inside. It uses artificial intelligence, and the process is more than half that of large manned mechas. It can be called a toy.
It was done so that Alston would put it on the desk and take a look at it when he had time.
Therefore, Ryan made it very small. The entire mecha is 60 centimeters high and weighs no more than 40 kilograms. It is equipped with particle cannons, pulse guns, 16 compressed bombs and six titanium alloy throwing knives. If this "toy" is sent to the battlefield, it can kill a Zerg.
"That's what you're doing without telling me?"
Ryan, who was concentrating on the movement of his hands, didn't hear the footsteps, was startled, and almost connected a part in his hand by mistake. With a clang, the drill hit metal sparks, and Ryan subconsciously raised his arm to block all the sparks.
Auston said ruefully, "I'm sorry." Lane should have been reminded.
Ryan put down the parts he was assembling, looked up at Auston, "Why are you here today?"
"The work at hand is done."
Ryan stretched out his hand to Orston, and Orston put his hand on it. His jade-like hand was a little cold. Ryan pushed away the various parts in front of him and pulled hard, and Orston fell on the ground In his arms, it can only be done if the general cooperates with such an action.
"I designed the mecha myself, and there are still many imperfections that need to be improved, so I changed a small toy for you first." Ryan played with Oston's fingers and continued: "We have known each other for so long, and any gift I didn't give it to you, this is the first gift I gave you, I wanted to keep it a secret, but after you saw it, I gave it to you in advance."
Picking up a leg of the mech and handing it to Oston, Ryan said: "I hope you like it, and you can think about what to name it now. After I install the artificial intelligence system, I can communicate with him." gone."
"You can name it now." The cold calf has not been painted yet, revealing the most primitive silver texture, small and powerful, Oston imagined the appearance of this little thing in front of him, he said: "It's called It's a little strawberry."
Ryan: "Okay." He supports it unconditionally.
Mech... Its comments are invalid.

Eight days passed quickly, and B612 was close at hand. The Xingtian ship broke through the asteroid's atmosphere and landed. This was the first time it landed in the 16-month voyage. After landing, the ship's mechanic will conduct a comprehensive overhaul and maintenance of the ship, making sure to keep the Xing Tian ship and all the affiliated ships in the most perfect condition.
B612 is an icy planet where the global temperature does not exceed 10 degrees Celsius. There are only two seasons here, the freezing season and the warm sun season. The ground base where the Xingtian ship landed is in the warm sun season. The temperature today is 8 degrees Celsius. The sky on a planet without heavy industry is very clear, and the sun shines directly on the ground, which is very bright.
Birds unique to this planet flew over the Xingtian ship with quacking laughter, as if they had heard some bad joke.
"Lian, would you like to have a drink at the bar?" Derrick greeted Ryan.
Ryan said, "You go first, I'll come right away."
Derrick: "Then I'll wait for you at the bar and order you a glass of barley wine in advance. When you come over and you're almost sober, it must taste good."
"Okay, let's watch." Ryan was on the ship receiving the content about the match from Su Ming, including the map, the rules of the game, the time of drawing lots, etc.
Two days later, it's time to play, and Ryan is looking forward to it.
B612 is the easternmost border checkpoint of the empire, a military base of the Golden Crusaders on the edge of the empire. There are soldiers stationed here, there are military families, and there are a large number of interstellar adventurers who use this place as a supply station. Along with the adventurers, there are all kinds of businessmen who gather here for their own reasons and live an ordinary life away from the hustle and bustle. Adventurers don't have ordinary lives. They drive small starships to live a life of wind and rain, licking blood with knives. When necessary, they will act as pirates and become killing machines that kill people without blood.
The adventurers who dare to enter and can enter B612 are definitely not famous people on the bounty list. There is no official record of their lives, and their heads are worthless.
Red Orange Bar, the door of the bar was pushed open, a gentle and handsome young man in dark green uniform walked in, glanced at the room and headed to the bar, Derrick was drinking wine and eating local specialties Fish and bartender bragging.
Derrick: "You know the red mill in Capital Star. I saw Miss Yulia dancing when I went there last time. It's so beautiful."
Bartender: "Bragging, the entrance fee to the Red Mill is 5,000 star coins. It is a place for rich people to spend. You are rich."
Derrick: "It's recommended by members, it's not that expensive. I just spent two thousand star coins, and it's worth watching a performance by Yulia."
Bartender: "Why don't you go next door to the Red Mill to see the fair thighs."
Derrick showed a knowing smile, "How do you know I didn't go?"
The next door to the Red Mill is the only legal women’s branch in the entire Capital Star. The performances are bold and open every Friday.
Seeing that the chat topics are getting more and more restrictive, Ryan raised his legs and didn't know whether to move forward or back. It's not easy to go forward and chat with them about the characteristics of the women's branch, although he also learned a lot from the Internet. …
"Lian, come on, I'm waiting for you." Derrick waved and shouted when he saw Ryan.
Ryan shook his head helplessly and walked over, sitting on the high chair.
