From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 19: King of Eight Surnames
Old man Zhang finally came.

On the second day, before the young man surnamed Zhao had to set off due to a mission, old man Zhang, with his hands behind his back and flip-flops on his back, came to the gate of the camp where everyone gathered as if walking.

"Old man, I'm just going with you as agreed. Don't expect to be of any help."

The reluctant words made the young man named Zhao overjoyed and said yes again and again.

Lin Yu naturally came too.

Early in the morning, he drove the fully enclosed van seized from the Seou organization to join the convoy of Qiao Wa and the young man named Zhao. The van contained Lu Bu's armor that had just been modified and fine-tuned and some daily supplies.

As for Bai Wei, she did not follow. This mission was actually unclear until now, and the risks were really impossible to assess, so Lin Yu let Bai Wei stay at the Black Snake camp first.

At least there is Black Snake, a veritable local snake, taking care of the camp, so safety is definitely better than going on a mission together.

"This is the guide Mr. Zhao is looking for. We can't sit there. Is it okay to squeeze in with you?"

Before leaving, Jova came over with a skinny boy with short white hair.

"Row."

Lin Yu naturally did not refuse. Anyway, his co-pilot seat happened to be vacant.

But when his eyes fell on the top of the white-haired boy's head, he paused slightly.

"Qualified person"

Three bright characters were floating above the boy's head.

"Upgrade requirements - Team: Establish your own R&D team, with no less than five members, and members must have extremely high related talents or skills. (Qualified candidates will be specially marked)"

This is one of the three requirements for upgrading from level 4 to level 5 of mecha engineering.

Lin Yu actually didn't have high hopes of completing this thing in the short term.

After all, I have no power and no capital to recruit others.

Moreover, this 'extremely high' gold content is not ordinary.

At least the upgrade conditions have been open for so many days, but there are only two "qualified people" he has actually seen, one is Bai Wei, and the other is the boy in front of him.

You must know that he only completed the preliminary familiarity with Qiao Wa and his group yesterday.

Qiao Wa and others are just a mercenary team, but as their employer, the young man named Zhao is very worthy of mention.

The real name of the young man named Zhao is quite coincidental, which is Zhao Xing.

However, his origin is not ordinary. He is a serious mecha master under the Federal Pilots Association.

An official mecha master never fights alone, nor is it just as simple as a mecha and a mecha master.

Behind every well-known mecha and every pilot, there is often a complete logistics team. There is at least a team of technicians led by the chief engineer and other engineers, who are responsible for upgrading, modifying, maintaining, and repairing the mecha. Emergency repair.

What's more, it will even be equipped with a specialized technical research and development team, combat staff team, electronic attack and defense team, etc.

This is still a technical aspect. In fact, most mecha groups tend to operate on a semi-commercial basis, and there are also business directors who are responsible for cooperating with companies and R&D institutions to obtain technical and financial support, or even setting up their own companies.

Of course, this is a bit far-fetched.

But there is no doubt that from the attitudes of Black Snake and Qiao Wa, it is not difficult to see that Zhao Xing's mecha team is an extremely successful team, and even its origins are very extraordinary.

On top of that RV and the three heavy trucks behind it were Zhao Xing's mechas, various maintenance equipment, and accompanying technicians.

However, yesterday, even among the elite engineers who looked experienced at first glance, Lin Yu could not find a "qualified person".

At that time, he had already understood that this cheating "extremely high" was probably the same vague adjective as the other tasks. The actual requirements were ridiculously high.

I never thought that there would be such an unexpected surprise today.

"I think you look familiar. Do you have an older brother or younger brother named Xiaoqi?"

While Lin Yu started the car, he looked at the slightly reserved white-haired boy guide and took the initiative to pick up the topic.

This boy looked very much like the younger brother who was sent by Black Snake to arrange a place for him, especially with the same short white hair.

Bai Wei was a resident of the city, and with her sister's affairs, Lin Yu really couldn't even think about it.

But with the boy in front of him, he thought he could try to get closer to him. Let's not ask for recruitment, at least as a network, it is very good.

Once the relationship is good, it will be easier to ask for help if the other person is really capable or promising in the future.

"Well, Xiaoqi is my brother. Brother Lin, you can call me Xiaoliu."

The white-haired boy, Xiao Liu nodded.

"Why Xiaoliu? Shouldn't it be Xiaoba?"

Lin Yu nodded slightly at first, then thought something was wrong.

"I heard that my father has thirteen brothers, so he planned to have thirteen sons early on, and then named us according to the countdown."

Xiao Liu explained.

"...Then your father really has some ideas."

Lin Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, I'm actually quite lucky."

Probably because he opened up the topic and became familiar with it, Xiaoliu was no longer as reserved as before and scratched his head and laughed.

"Happy? Why?"

Lin Yu was a little curious.

"My father's surname is Wang."

Xiao Liu smiled again.

"..."

That is indeed something to be thankful for.

Lin Yu was a little amused.

"By the way, you just called me Brother Lin. Do you know me?"

After laughing, he remembered something and asked.

"I heard my brother mention it a little bit."

Xiaoliu also started talking completely at this moment, nodded slightly, and showed a somewhat curious expression:
"Brother Lin, I heard from my brother that you are also from the camp, and you made a mecha using scrap parts. Is it true?"

"Ah."

Lin Yu nodded lightly and said, "Why, are you interested in mechas? Just put it in the trunk. You can go and have a look before we leave."

"Really?"

Xiao Liu's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.

"Of course it's true, just go and I'll open the door for you, so hurry up."

Lin Yu laughed dumbly, pursed his lips towards the car door, and then controlled the door of the rear compartment to open.

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

Xiaoliu immediately opened the door and jumped out of the car excitedly, and quickly ran to the back compartment.

It wasn't until after a while that the team had finished coordinating and officially set off, that he got back into the car without feeling satisfied.

"So handsome! Even more handsome than I imagined! He feels like a general, no, like a god."

Xiao Liu's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he was so excited that he wanted to dance. He even looked at Lin Yu with eyes full of admiration:

"Brother Lin, actually my biggest dream is to build a mecha myself, but what I have always wanted is to find a way to obtain city resident status, go to the city to study, and then make money or work as an engineer in a big company.

Compared to Brother Lin, I now feel that I am so stupid for thinking so much but never taking action. However, Brother Lin, you relied on self-study and scrap parts to make the mecha. I simply admire you so much. "
