After the assessment was over, Xiao Tianhan did not return to the Federal University immediately, but asked the students to rest at the base for a day and leave early tomorrow morning.
Resting at the base naturally costs points, accommodation, meals, and buying souvenirs. After a while, everyone found that the scoreboard has changed again. Many teams with close rankings, because they spent more points during the rest, their rankings will increase. There was an exchange of ups and downs, and everyone immediately provoked another burst of complaints in the class group, scolding the base for being too dark.
Twelve o'clock at night.
Xu Peng came to the door of the inspection room, and was a little surprised to see that the lights inside were still on. He pushed the door and went in, and saw a thin figure stepping on the elevator to change parts for the mecha.
"Yan Hao?" Xu Peng felt that the back looked a bit like Yan Hao, so he tried to shout.
Yan Hao was changing the parts of the leg joints for Man Niu, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name, he was startled, and almost lost his grip on the wrench in his hand.
"Xu... Senior Xu Peng?"
"Scared you? Sorry." Xu Peng smiled.
"No, nothing." Yan Hao scratched his head in embarrassment, obviously he was timid, so why did he ask others to apologize to him.
"Isn't it going back to Capital Star tomorrow? Why are you still here so late?" Xu Peng asked with his head raised.
"Several parts of Senior Cheng's mecha are broken, and I'm replacing him with new ones," Yan Hao said.
"I heard that you spent a lot of points to buy parts these days."
"Well, I don't know much about maintenance. I was afraid that it would be damaged, so I bought new parts." Yan Hao said, turned around and continued to tighten the last two screws of the parts with a wrench, and waited until it was confirmed that there was no problem. , and then manipulated the elevator to fall back to the ground.
"Why don't you go back to school and change it? The parts in the base are more expensive than those outside." Xu Peng asked.
"I want to fix it before I go back. The bull and the black soul were both intact before I came here, so they can't be broken when I go back." Yan Hao laughed.
"You are right. As a mecha maker, you must always keep the mecha you are in charge of in the best condition." Xu Peng nodded with satisfaction, "Then you can continue, and rest early when you are done."
"Yes."
Xu Peng didn't say anything more, just nodded and left the maintenance room. Yan Hao pushed the ladder to the other side of the bull, and started to replace the worn parts on the other leg. He was busy until one o'clock before Yan Hao rested in the dormitory. .
The next day, at half past eight in the morning.
The students who had breakfast gathered in the square again. After a night's rest, their spirits were much better, and they were lined up in the queue in good spirits.
"Get on the spaceship when everyone is here." After counting the number of people, Xiao Tianhan motioned for the students to start boarding the spaceship.
"Yes."
Going back to the city was much easier than when he came here, and Xiao Tianhan didn't talk to the students about the precautions in the spaceship, but let them arrange their own time to go back to the city. The students also very consciously followed the room arrangement when they came, and went back to their own rooms to rest.
It would take three days to sail from the barren star back to the capital star spacecraft, and it was impossible to stay in the room for three days. Yan Hao rented an inspection room from the spacecraft, and plunged into it when he was free. Sheng Heng will deliver three meals a day on time.
"It's time to eat." On the second night, Sheng Heng entered the maintenance room with dinner and reminded Yan Hao to eat.
"Oh, wait for me." Yan Hao smiled at Sheng Heng, and continued to dismantle the parts in his hand until they were all disassembled, then he clapped his hands, got up and walked towards Sheng Heng.
Sheng Heng had already prepared the food, and seeing Yan Hao approaching, he handed over a pair of chopsticks very naturally, and the two sat down to eat dinner together.
"Senior, what is this?" Yan Hao asked curiously when he saw that there was still a big box on the table.
"Gift." Sheng Heng said with a smile.
"Gift? Who is it for?" Yan Hao asked.
Sheng Heng didn't speak, but looked at Yan Hao helplessly and amusedly with his eyes.
"Give it to me?" Yan Hao realized belatedly.
Sheng Heng simply put down his chopsticks, moved the box next to him, and opened it, revealing a piece of strange looking metal that looked like metal with a cold light inside.
"What is this?" Yan Hao didn't recognize it.
"You really forgot." Sheng Heng sighed.
forget? Did senior Sheng Heng mention it to himself before
"A week ago, I asked you..."
"Zerg front claw?!" Hearing the prompt, Yan Hao immediately remembered, "This is the Zerg front claw?!"
"Yes." Sheng Heng explained, "It should have been given to you two days earlier, but the Zerg's body fluids are corrosive to the human body. I spent two days cleaning them up before bringing them to you."
Yan Hao put down his half-eaten dinner, leaned over to the side of the box and said curiously: "This is the front claw of the Zerg, and it's the first time I've seen it."
In his last life, Yan Hao spent almost all his time in the laboratory and never went to the battlefield. All his knowledge about the Zerg came from news reports. Later, he went to the sanatorium of the military headquarters, where the wounded soldiers live, and the military headquarters is even less likely to allow the Zerg to invade there, so this is the first time Yan Hao has come into contact with the Zerg in two lives, even though it is only one front paw.
"However, it doesn't look as big as I imagined." The front claw is only as long as Yan Hao's forearm, and it doesn't look like a weapon that can tear apart mechs.
"The front claws of the Zerg can be stretched to the extreme, reaching three meters, but the really sharp part is only the front end of the claws." Sheng Heng explained.
Yan Hao nodded knowingly, then raised his hand to tap the Zerg front paw on the box.
"Don't move! What are you doing?!" Shocked, Sheng Heng grabbed Yan Hao's hand that was about to knock it off, and his voice was a little louder because of his excitement.
"I want to test the hardness of this thing." Yan Hao explained.
"I told you just now, this thing is the sharpest, why are you hitting it with bare hands?" Sheng Heng was speechless.
"I'm sorry." Yan Hao lowered his head guiltily.
"To knock, use a tool." Sheng Heng got up and took a metal wrench from the side, and handed it to Yan Hao.
Yan Hao took the wrench, and his whole body came alive again. He took the wrench and knocked on the front claws of the Zerg in the box. Hearing the crisp metal impact, Yan Hao sighed: "If it weren't for you Tell me it's a Zerg forepaw, and I'm sure to think it's some kind of metal."
"It's harder than many metals, and as the Zerg evolves, the sharpness of its front claws will also evolve." Sheng Heng said with some regret, "I wanted to cut off the front claws of that sixth-level mutant insect. For you, but I was in a coma at the time."
"This is already very good." Yan Hao asked Sheng Heng to bring back a Zerg front claw, but he just mentioned it casually. After seven days, he himself forgot about it, but he didn't expect his casual sentence, Sheng Heng really brought him back. Even in the dangerous situation of hunting sixth-level mutants, he was still thinking about this matter. This feeling of being valued is far greater than the gift itself.
"Thank you, senior."
"You're welcome." Seeing that Yan Hao liked it, Sheng Heng became happier.
Like a child who got a new toy, Yan Hao kept tapping the Zerg's front paws with a wrench. For a while, the maintenance room was filled with "clang clang clang clang" knocking sounds. After knocking for a long time, Yan Hao didn't seem to be enjoying himself, and suddenly stood up holding the box and ran away.
Sheng Heng was taken aback, got up and followed.
I saw Yan Hao ran to a place where the metal shell of the mecha was placed, and then wrapped the upper end of the Zerg's front claws with the flannel cloth in the box, and hurriedly used the Zerg's front claws as long knives, and fiercely pointed at the metal shell of the mecha. cut down.
The front paws collided with the metal shell, and there was a crisp metal collision sound. Because Yan Hao exerted too much force, his whole body was shaken back by the shock force. Sheng Heng saw him, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him .
"Be careful."
"I'm fine, let's see if the metal casing has been cut." Yan Hao looked at the metal casing he had just cut with great interest.
Yan Hao went over to touch it, checked it for a long time, but found no gap on the metal shell, he was immediately disappointed: "Why is there no trace at all, doesn't it mean that the shell of the mecha can be torn apart?"
Sheng Heng walked over with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Yan Hao: "Give me the front paw."
Although Yan Hao didn't know what Sheng Heng was going to do, he subconsciously gave Sheng Heng his front paw.
"Back." Sheng Heng signaled Yan Hao to avoid.
Yan Hao had vaguely guessed what Sheng Heng wanted to do at this time, he got up excitedly and hid aside. As soon as he dodged, Sheng Heng held the Zerg's front claws and cut heavily towards the vertical metal shell.
With a "swipe", Yan Hao only felt a black light flash in front of his eyes. The metal shell that he could not cut a trace just now was split into two in front of his eyes.
"This...cut?" Yan Hao looked at the metal casing that was divided into two, and then at Sheng Heng, his eyes were full of admiration, "Senior, you are so amazing."
"It's nothing, I'm just stronger than you." Sheng Heng said modestly, the physique of mecha warriors is much better than that of ordinary people, but not everyone can cut through the metal shell with bare hands. Because of his hand injury, Sheng Heng has spent much more time on his body than on his mental strength since he was a child, so his body is considered strong among mecha warriors.
"Senior, the front claws of the Zerg are so sharp, why doesn't the Federation collect the front claws of the Zerg and use them as weapons?" The reason why the Zerg has been able to confront the Federation for so many years is because the outer shell of the Zerg is extremely hard. If the weapons are anti-Zerg shells, then the Federation will be much more relaxed in the confrontation with the Zerg.
"Although the front claws of the Zerg are hard, they are not really metal. After the death of the Zerg, these front claws will also begin to degenerate. At most one week, the hardness will decrease, and it will break with a little force." Sheng Heng explained. .
"I see."
At this time, the spaceship suddenly vibrated violently. Sheng Heng sensed that something was wrong. He immediately grabbed Yan Hao's hand, dragged Yan Hao to lean against the wall, and then supported the wall with both hands, protecting Yan Hao with his body.
With a "bang", a mecha part slammed hard not far from the two of them. Because of the impact, the mecha part was scattered and the screw spring flew all over the ground. One of the screws swiped, and it almost flew past Sheng Heng's forehead. Yan Hao was in a cold sweat watching this scene.
"Senior." Yan Hao cried out in shock.
"Don't move!" Sheng Heng shouted in a low voice.
"Beep, beep~~~" The ear-piercing siren sounded suddenly, and Xiao Tianhan's anxious voice came from the radio.
"The spaceship was attacked by interstellar pirates. All the mecha fighters gathered on the deck and prepared to fight."
Interstellar pirates? !
At this time, the vibration of the spaceship was much smaller. Sheng Heng made a decisive decision, dragged Yan Hao out of the inspection room, found a nearby room, and pushed Yan Hao in: "You hide here, I'll go outside and have a look."
"Senior, be careful." Yan Hao didn't say much, but just told him to be careful.
Sheng Heng nodded, left the room and ran towards the deck.
