"Bang, bang, bang—" The central joint bearing failed to hold on, and the core fell apart. Before she could react, all parts of the body instantly broke apart and hit the ground.
Jiang Hui kept his hands in the air, staring blankly at the spare parts on the ground, his eyes seemed a little empty.
… She had worked hard for the whole morning to assemble the joints, which had looked fine just now. How could it suddenly break into pieces? Moreover, there was no connected part, it was completely scattered, even though she had clearly assembled it according to the steps and structure.
What went wrong? Jiang Hui was a little anxious.
Because just for such a palm-sized joint, she spent almost two days. In order to avoid being distracted, Jiang Hui did not even go downstairs today and ate directly in the room.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian seemed to be very busy these days. The two of them were like mysterious dragons that you could not see them all day long.
Hillman seemed a little frightened. He felt a little uncomfortable the day before, and then fell ill the next afternoon. Fortunately, it was just a minor illness similar to the seasonal flu. According to him, this was an old problem he had since he was a child. This time, he must have been frightened and it came out early.
He didn't want his parents to worry too much, so he followed the doctor's advice and stayed in his room to rest and recuperate, trying to get well before returning to school. Otherwise, if he went back and ran into his parents who came to visit him, it would be bad for them to see him in such a haggard state.
So Jiang Hui simply stayed in the room and rested.
After the Star Network returned to normal the next day, they were able to contact the outside world normally. Of course, what followed was the explosive news that broke out instantly after a day of confinement.
Perhaps it is the same in any era. Even if humans have entered the interstellar era, eye-catching news will always be the focus of humans.
In order to achieve the purpose of differentiated management during the mission, the military implemented a high level of information control on Satellite No. 732, controlling and intercepting most of the network routes from the day before the incident to the moment the network restrictions were lifted.
Apart from the military, the rebels and the civilians who survived the chaos, no one knows what happened on that stadium that is now almost flat.
But it must be a big deal. On that day, the people of Planet 732 were all restricted at a certain time, and the soldiers in military uniforms politely but firmly asked them to stay where they were.
The people inside naturally stayed where they were, while those outside were gathered together and moved to a certain location to wait for things to be settled. But no matter which one, there were a certain number of soldiers guarding outside, and even the dumbest guy knew that the environment he was in was going through some huge twists and turns.
People who had escaped the disaster scene by chance had come forward to tell their stories, and since there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall, word of mouth spread... naturally the news became more and more exaggerated. Some smart people even dug up a lot of similar inside stories, and now people on Starnet are having a blast, mixing truth with falsehood, and each of them has transformed into a modern-day Sherlock Holmes to restore a lot of details, which looks quite realistic.
For example, the military was behind the scenes cleaning up a spy family. In order to reduce their guilt, they used evidence against each other. I heard that in the end, even pets were convicted. It was like a comedy. For example, some people swore that they saw a large number of warships and troops dispatched during the chaos on the field.
No matter how it is demonized online, or how outrageous the rumors are... the official news channels are still relatively serious and single, with formulaic descriptions, such as "On a certain day, a certain event occurred in a certain competition area, and several nearby armies were dispatched together", "The rebel alchemists conspired to destroy the Internet communication base station, intending to cut off the external contact of Planet 732, eventually causing the entire Internet to be paralyzed", and "The richest family in the second ring area of Planet 732 was originally a rebel base, and the patriarch and a group of family members were arrested", etc.
Jiang Hui initially clicked on it to see if he could get some useful information.
But the network outage for nearly two days also caused the optical computer to accumulate a lot of stuck information, including automatic push notifications and some stuck text messages. All of them were online at once, and then kept pushing and pushing... She didn't know how long she had been clicking, her hands were almost numb, and later she just let it skip automatically.
Damn it, she won't read this information. God knows how long it will take, and in the end, she might not know more than she does...
Although she said so, two weeks later, Jiang Hui couldn't help but check it out. Then she struggled to find some more authoritative media information among the 9999+ information, and clicked in to take a look. Sure enough, it was just as she thought, and not as much as what she heard from Zhou Xiuwen.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hui instantly lost interest in continuing to watch.
Then she looked at the historical communication records below and found that Stark had sent countless optical brain communications during the process. But the information might have been cut off at that time, so it could not be received. Then there were Hillman's messages, all of which were sent when she and Clarence were running around in the field. There was no news from Clarence, and her message to ask about his physical condition fell on deaf ears. Maybe he was not awake yet.
Jiang Hui sighed and immediately sent a text message to Stark to let him know she was safe. However, she guessed that the other party was busy and did not reply. She did not care and stayed at Zhou Xiuwen's house to rest and wait for news.
After reading peacefully for a day, Jiang Hui suddenly remembered the pile of materials he had brought back from the second-hand trading company the day before yesterday.
She spent a long time preparing for the competition the night before, rubbing her hands, thinking that she would start studying the materials when she returned to school. Who would have thought that something like this would happen halfway through, and all her plans naturally came to a halt.
In such an unstable environment, he should have waited for the notice from the school. There was no rush to research mechas. But she couldn't help it. It was like buying a bunch of food she liked but couldn't eat it. She felt itchy and couldn't sleep at night.
After repeated "struggles", Jiang Hui couldn't help but pull out a basket of parts to assemble his first mecha.
For once, she used real mecha materials. Although they were old and most of them were parts discarded from abandoned mechas, they were really different from the previous model blocks that were so refined and standard that they had no texture.
Jiang Hui had this feeling when she actually touched the first mecha part. It was so cold and chilly, but as always, it gave her some indescribable sense of movement.
