Mecha Star Wars.

It had only been half a month since the last time he came to the underground fortress, but Lin Fan felt that many things were different.

For example, the first-generation armorers who used to be always neatly equipped now have all their outer shells removed, exposing the internal machinery and wires.

The four cores are exactly the same. From the appearance, it is impossible to tell whose mecha is whose.

Oh no, it can still be divided.

The one with obvious damage to his neck must be Fuguang.

Thinking of Fuguang, he thought of Song Ren. Lin Fan felt sad for a moment, but was quickly interrupted by people coming over.

The people in 623 haven't seen Lin Fan for a long time. The last time the situation was urgent, most of them could only nod and say hello, and didn't bother to say anything more.

Now that the war is over, Xingchen has shown outstanding performance again, almost as a savior hero. Everyone in 623 is proud of it. When they see people this time, they all come up to talk.

Even though everyone was focused on the work at hand and left without saying a few words, almost ten minutes had passed by the time the people around Lin Fan dispersed.

"Kid, you've worked hard." Xie Bisheng had been waiting behind the crowd, looking at Lin Fan kindly like an old man.

"It's not hard." Lin Fan smiled shyly. "Deputy Xie, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?"

"Just go, just go." Xie Bisheng was old after all, and he felt a little shaky after standing for a long time.

Lin Fan originally wanted to reach out to help him, but the moment he thought about it, he put it down again.

"The deputy director insisted on waiting for you to come. He said that he would be relieved to see that you were fine. We refused to listen no matter how hard we tried to persuade him." Yu Guangli smiled and took the old man's arm, leading him aside. "Look, aren't people kind?"

"Lin Fan, Lin Fan!" Zhang Zhaojie waved slightly to her from the side, with a look of joy on his face as he reunited after a long separation.

Ke Wenbin stood next to him and looked at her with a smile.

"Why don't you see Xia Jing?" Lin Fan looked around and asked.

"He went to Pangu Cave." Zhang Zhaojie came over and said. "He has improved Pangu's control system. He went to test it this morning. It should not be completed yet."

Lin Fan nodded and followed several people into the conference room.

"Xiao Lin." Xie Bisheng also breathed a sigh of relief after sitting down, "Have you visited Captain Song?"

"Yeah." Lin Fan lowered his eyes and the expression on his face faded.

"This child..." Xie Bisheng held his legs and paused for a while before continuing, "Although it doesn't look good now, at least his life is saved. If we wait a little longer, there must be a way."

Xie has always believed in science and has a rigorous style throughout his life.

When the doctor clearly stated that it was not possible, he still said such words, not necessarily to simply comfort Lin Fan, but also because he could not bear the end that Song Ren ended up with.

"Well, there will be a way." Lin Fan nodded loudly.

Yu Guangli saw that the atmosphere was depressing and quickly changed the subject. "Lin Fan, I called you here so late because I wanted to confirm something with you face to face, but I didn't know when you would leave, so I was hasty and didn't disturb you, right?"

"No, I should stay here for a few days." Lin Fan replied, and then added, "If it's not too much trouble."

"What are you talking about? Your room has been reserved for you, and someone will clean it every now and then." Yu Guangli pretended to blame, and then added.

"The deputy office has been worried about you. On the one hand, I want to see you with my own eyes. On the other hand, I want to tell you that the 818 coating on the bionic armor has been completely extracted and is ready for you to upgrade at any time."

Ke Wenbin took out a small container, and inside was a small lump of familiar substance, about half the size of Lin Fan's fist.

"All the remaining 818 are here." He placed the container on the table and pushed it towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan glanced at it without moving. "If you want to upgrade, it may not be possible now. The specific time will have to wait for notification from the institute. I need to trouble you to save this first."

The color of the skin on her back has not completely blended in, and the pink line is particularly obvious.

Because of this, Zhu Cunjun refused to allow her to transform easily, for fear of aggravating her internal injuries.

Lin Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he really enjoyed the care in his heart.

"It should be. Originally, this matter was related to Zhu Cunjun, but I will tell you when you come." Xie Bisheng answered, "We are just guessing about the upgrade. It may not be true. You should not be too worried. A big burden.”

<divclass="contentadv">Lin Fan nodded.

"There's one more thing." Yu Guangli continued. "A lot of the alien equipment this time can be recycled into new materials. Have you heard about the plan to build a mecha army?"

"I heard something." Lin Fan responded.

"Previous bionic armors have been imitated based on stars as templates. After Apollo appeared, it opened up more ideas for us. New materials just happened to be available, so we thought about redesigning the appearance of mechas, especially the bionic armors. Add different functions and use different shapes to differentiate categories.”

Lin Fan nodded while listening.

The star shape is just a prototype, and it is the beginning of an experiment for 623, which was initially limited in the development of humanoid mechas.

Later, they changed the bionic armor several times due to functionality, so in fact, the latest bionic armor is not as similar to the stars as it was at the beginning.

They don't dare to make major styling changes, because structural mechanics, mechanical power systems and other factors can affect the whole body, and it's not just a matter of simply changing the appearance.

Simply affecting the handling performance for the sake of different styling is putting the cart before the horse and not worth the loss.

Coupled with the serious lack of materials, trial and error costs are high. So before everything is uncertain, 623 decided to maintain basic operations.

But the appearance of Apollo made everyone realize that humanoid mechas still have more room for adjustment.

Zhang Zhaojie was so excited that he was so inspired that he drew countless design drawings, but they only remained conceptual.

Once the materials are complete, not only can he transform the bionic armor at hand, but he can also be rich enough to build an army of mechas.

After getting the good news, 623 started to move again.

Before the official casting, they have to make a lot of prototypes and try them out.

The premise for the attempt is Zhang Zhaojie's design drawing.

"So, I want you to help me see if his design is obviously inappropriate. To avoid wasting resources later," Yu Guangli said.

Lin Fan was stunned. "Although I have a background in design, let me see if the color matching and styling are okay. Mecha design... I'm not good at it."

Let her say, in the end, it looks good or not.

But mechas involve too many things, and whether they look good or not is the last additional option.

After all, it is a humanoid weapon, and function is the most important thing.

She didn't want her words to affect the final result.

A layman leads an expert? No, no!

Seeing Lin Fan shaking his head, Xie Bisheng smiled and reassured her.

"Don't worry, it's just for reference. After all, their design is just a fantasy. You are the person most familiar with mecha control. You are capable without knowing it. Many of your opinions are valuable to us."

"No matter what you say, we will consider it and listen. The creation of a new mecha must be the result of the joint efforts of countless people. Everyone works together, and no one can just say it. Don't worry."

What are young people afraid of? Aren't you afraid of taking responsibility?

Xie Bisheng understood, so he broke it down and talked about it. You are the one who gives your opinion, and we have to weigh it up whether you adopt it or not, so don’t be burdened.

After listening to this, Lin Fan was indeed less stressed.

"Okay, since everyone doesn't mind, I'll show my shame. Where is the design? Do you want to see it now?"

"Here, here." Zhang Zhaojie finally waited until it was time for him to speak, and squeezed to Lin Fan's side with the tablet in hand.

Zhang Zhaojie, who was squatting next to the chair, looked like a puppy waiting for praise, looking at her with two big black eyes.

If he had a tail, it would be wagging so fast now.

Lin Fan was startled by his enthusiasm. He wordlessly took the tablet in his hand and began to look at the pictures.
