under the mask

"How is it?" Li Wei put his hands in the pockets of the one-piece overalls, raised his head and asked the boy who had just emerged from the cockpit on the chest of the mech.

Kashi's face was slightly pale, and he jumped down with his strong arms supporting the hatch, then bent over and retched.

Levi's mouth twitched.

"What's the matter... You didn't react like this before when there was no reinforcement material." He took a bottle of water from the liquid metal storage cabinet in the corner of the room and handed it to Kashi, then pinched his chin and frowned: "Pupil It's normal, did the vibration frequency increase instead?"

Emilia also frowned, and suddenly touched the top of Kashgar's stomach with her slender hand: "You were covering your stomach just now, could it be because you ate the cake and didn't digest it?"

Kashi's face was pale at first, and then it burst into red. After howling, he fled to the corner of the room, looking back at the two of them, trembling, growling.

"What, what are you messing around!!!"

Li Wei suddenly looked at Emilia strangely. The latter looked down at his hands hesitantly. His white and slender fingers rubbed each other very slowly, then rubbed again, and then looked up at Kashi: "The abdominal muscles are very strong...why? gone?"

What's the matter... Li Wei looked at his brother with a black line on his head, this guy can't do that, right?So unfocused?

Looking at it again, Kashgar's nose was bleeding profusely, and he had already passed out.

"Fuck! It's so useless!" Li Wei finally couldn't help cursing, picked up the remaining half bottle of water from the ground and strode over to pour Kashgar head-on.As expected of someone who can control the spirit of battle, he jumped up immediately.

"What's going on?" Li Wei threw a towel to him.

Kashi sprayed some medicine on his nose, and while wiping his hair, he glanced at the girl who was still monitoring the data, and replied casually: "It's not bad, almost!"

Li Wei was almost annoyed, this virtue still wanted to catch up with the strong woman from Miu Ka's family, so he suddenly said in a bad mood: "I'm asking about your specific feelings, whether the vibration amplitude has decreased, how much the frequency has decreased, and whether you have performed basic movements. Sluggish, unrestricted!"

Kashgar looked at him blankly after returning to his senses, and blushed in shame for a long time: "Then what...well, the change...not too big." He saw Li Wei's face and hurriedly added: "I mean, the feeling of vibration has indeed decreased. , but too small to be ignored by the driver."

Li Wei took notes in the electronic notebook, but he didn't show any signs of frustration.First, reducing the difficulty of driving mechas is a historical problem that plagued mecha manufacturing, and many masters couldn't improve it for a while, let alone a fledgling kid like them; second, expecting to use materials to greatly reduce vibration , although this perspective is novel and a breakthrough can be obtained by conducting a large number of comparative studies in a short period of time, as Kashi said, this breakthrough is too small.

"It's not bad for the driver to feel a slight improvement," Emilia also walked over to record the data of the mecha: "This kind of result is also expected, after all, our level is here."

Li Wei nodded: "I hope I can learn more after studying in university."

Kashgar also nodded slightly, looking back at the tall silver mecha. "I don't know when... I will have my own mecha."

Li Wei patted him with a smile: "Sooner or later, the supply of talents like you will be in short supply. Those mech manufacturing masters have a lot of finished products in their hands but suffer from no one who can control them. They are just waiting for you!"

Kashi looked at Emilia and smirked.

Levi Black Line.Obviously I encourage you, you watch what other people do!

"Hey, it's too late, everyone go back to the room to catch up on sleep." He looked down at the communicator and said, "I still have to help me transform Oliveira during the day, hurry up and rest."

Emilia nodded wearily, and walked out first, and Kashgar hurriedly patted him and chased after him.Li Wei slowly ordered the assistant robot to pack up the tools, and he slumped on the sofa in the corner of the studio, staring at the mecha in a daze.

Every mech is only numbered after it is manufactured. Only the person who can activate 60.00% of the five energy sources for the first time will be his destined master, and then the master will give him a name.From then on, his memory card will record the combat process, the improvement process, the master's information, his nickname... These things are placed on a person's body, which is the so-called emotion.

During this period, except for the owner of the mecha, no second person can enter his cockpit.There is only one exception, that is, the owner who is the driver has died.

The lock code of the cockpit will be released automatically after three days, and the memory card will also be formatted automatically if it is not removed in time.Although it seems that anyone can control him at this time, the emotionless mecha has disappeared into this world with its master.

That's the case with Soul of War.

About half a month after Andrew's death, his mecha was recovered after the battlefield was recaptured.Although I don't know why the rebels didn't seize the mecha, the memory card has already been automatically destroyed, and the soul of the war spirit disappeared, leaving only a powerful metal body.

Li Wei once thought about giving this mecha to Kashgar. After all, from the data, Kashgar and War Spirit are quite compatible... It's better than letting War Spirit stay in the basement until it rusts.But thinking about it, Kashgar probably wouldn't accept it. The pressure from the war spirit was too great for him, and he was only a teenager driving the Imperial Commander's mecha, which was too eye-catching, so he didn't say anything.

"Wait a little longer, Battle Spirit." Li Wei stood up and walked to the silver mecha and tapped his calf: "Maybe it's a good idea to mention it after he graduates... Don't be reluctant, grandpa doesn't want you to be a pearl either." Dusty. Good night."

"Good night, Oliveira." He also said to his battleship.

The robot retracted from the wall, and the studio lights gradually dimmed.Li Wei took another look at the outlines of the mechs and battleships in the darkness, and gently closed the inner door.

In the blink of an eye, one and a half months of summer vacation is coming to an end, and the Spar's house has become lively again.

"Li Wei, what do you think of this?" Kashi was excited as he held up a wooden mecha model: "Don't look at it as wood! All parts can be disassembled! Imitation of perfect proportions! It's exactly the same as Battle Spirit!"

Li Wei flipped through the book and muttered perfunctorily, thinking that a battle spirit more than half a meter long is very cute, the question is how many such mechs can you put in your luggage?After installing this, do I still need to bring clothes and personal items?

"This is the only finished product that took me two months to make!" Kashi continued to be intoxicated: "I originally wanted to make a pillow for fighting spirits to bring to school, but my sister said it looked like a bone for a dog to grind its teeth, so I decided to make it The model is the most suitable for me, and I can remember the data and be familiar with the structure... Actually, I want to make a smaller scale model, but the machine tool I rent is not very good and can't make such small parts. It's really #&##—”

"How about this book?" Li Wei leaned over and showed the title of the book to Emilia: "Shouldn't it be in the scope of banned books?"

""Wandering in the Y Galaxy with a Battleship"..." Emilia frowned: "What kind of book is this? The Y galaxy has not been developed at all, and it is not recorded on the star map. How to get there?"

"I say…"

Li Wei took the book back helplessly: "Can you have a little fantasy spirit? This is a novel, understand? If he has really been to the Y galaxy, then this is a travelogue! I am asking you if this book is banned. scope."

Amelia was still looking at his book and frowning: "...for novels, as long as they don't involve politics, it doesn't matter if they advocate liberalism, whether it's cryptic stories or religious books."

"That... I said..."

"Oh." Li Wei hurriedly took out the book list he had compiled to check: "Probably not... I'm generally not very interested in books with connotations... Uh, there really aren't, but it's better to reduce some."

Emilia nodded approvingly: "Bring more professional books, you don't have any in your family's e-book library... You can log in to the optical network to download the rest..."

"I said——!" Kashgar suddenly stretched his head in front of them, tears streaming down his face: "I said... can you talk to me?"

Li Wei and Amelia looked up at him blankly at the same time.

"What did you say?"

"... Forget it, you two nerds won't understand." Kashgar waved his hands in frustration, and collapsed on the opposite sofa with his wooden mecha.

The two continued to lower their heads to check the book list.

The notice was just sent out yesterday. Li Wei entered the starship system as he wished. Kashgar is a mecha system. Although Amelia is also a starship system, her professional choice is not battleship operation, but domineering heavy-duty battleship operation. major!Her goal is, Commander!commander!Senior Commander!

"Okay, that's it for today." In the evening, Li Wei concluded: "There is still one week to go to school early to take the test, Kashgar stays with me, and Amelia goes back and starts from home...then we The three of you will gather at school in a week."

Amelia smiled rarely.

Kashi quickly grabbed Li Wei's waist from behind, and Li Wei watched Amelia leave with a stiff smile, then turned around and threw the big man on the ground and said grimly, "Pinch my waist, huh? You're very brave, huh?"

Kashi: "..."

The next day, Li Wei drove Kashgar in the aircraft, and the two went to Yake City in the eleventh district to purchase, and put Kashgar's wooden mech back along the way.Kashi's family is also in the eleventh district. Although it is half a district away from Yake City, he likes to go there since he was a child, and he is quite familiar with it.

"Let me take a look, titanium alloy, continuous metal, permanent alloy, screw... toolbox? Isolation overalls? Isolation mask?" Kashgar looked at Li Wei wonderingly: "You have all these things, why waste money on buying them again? ?”

Li Wei glanced at him with a licorice lollipop in his mouth: "You know what a fart. Those of mine are top-notch goods, can you take them to school casually?"

Kashi curled his lips: "There are many dignitaries in Di Dali, okay... and you are not bad."

Li Wei didn't bother to talk to him, and continued to concentrate on driving the "car".There are a lot of powerful people, so it is even more important to keep a low profile... The group of people he knows are all of the same nature, it depends on who is unhappy and who is unlucky, and the combination of a group of people will also be unlucky for the son of a member of parliament.It's been a long time since he didn't hang out with that group of people, and it's better to pay attention to many aspects... Besides, who knows what kind of guy his roommate is?In case of a few years of hatred of the rich and the noble, it will make him depressed enough.

"Do you think we can get a dormitory?" Seeing Li Wei ignoring him, Kashgar started flirting with cats and dogs again.

Li Wei lazily chewed the sugar in his mouth: "Crackling...impossible...crunching...and I didn't order crunching in advance... Besides, I have endured you for three years, and I have to endure you. I have to be bald You can’t scoop it! Hmm...delicious..."

Kashgar proudly raised his hard chin, angry and didn't want to talk to him.

What Levi is driving today is not Lyle, but an ordinary household model. From the outside, it would make people think that it is a middle-aged woman with a child out to buy daily necessities, but it is actually the aircraft of the concierge of Li Wei's family. .

After going through layers of inspections and passing through the isolation cover, as soon as he entered District [-], Li Wei felt a sense of freedom that he hadn't seen for a long time.District [-] is just like the street he used to live in. It is full of low-rise bungalows and five or six-story old buildings. There are crowded small shops and street stalls everywhere. The air is full of complicated smells. , strong fried food and spicy sauces (similar to hot pot food), the smell of machine oil from the stalls selling machine parts, and the smell of sweat from the human body brought by the midday sun...

The cries came and went, men and women, old and young, very lively.

"Hey, your expression is very strange." Kashgar leaned on Li Wei's shoulder, tilting his head to look at him: "Your face is written: ah, I miss this place so much! If that's the case...the problem is that you haven't been here before. Yake City..."

Li Wei was taken aback by Kashgar's sensitivity, but he didn't expect this kid to have a delicate side.He shrugged and smiled nonchalantly, and Kashgar didn't bother to ask, since I have my own secrets.

The two bought some food to pad their stomachs, and then split up to buy things according to their own lists.In fact, they are mainly parts of mechs and battleships, oil lubricants for maintenance, etc. These things are available in the five districts and even in schools, but there are more choices in Yake City, and sometimes you can find interesting surprises .

Levi stuffed his citizenship card into his pocket.Although the free market like District [-] is good, theft is naturally one of the characteristics, so it is better to pay attention to it.During the movement, three or four people bumped into him, and one of them knew that he was in a bad mood, but Li Wei went up to him as if nothing had happened, but he was not the one who was knocked away.It's a joke, even if the strengthened body is still developing, its strength cannot be underestimated, even if the direction of his strengthening is not entirely on the strength of the body.

He looked at it casually, and there was no special spare parts street here, and there were quite a lot of things on the stalls, but he didn't see what was needed on the list yet.He touched his stomach, he seemed to be a little hungry... Hey, what a half-sized boy, his stomach was like a melting furnace.Li Wei looked around and happened to see a cookie seller, so he went up and bought three, took one from the bag and ate it, while swinging the food bag leisurely with the other hand.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A stream of people suddenly rushed in front of them, shouting and stepping on many stalls in a disorderly manner, pushing towards Li Wei's direction, which immediately attracted many shouts.

"Squeeze what bastard!!"

"Oops my reflective paper—"

"Rebellion, idiot!! Pay me back for the vase!!"

Li Wei reacted and flashed to the side in time, eating cakes while waiting for the crowd to pass by. It was probably a fight or a street duel, but he was not very interested anyway.After waiting for dozens of seconds, the crowded crowd had almost passed away. He was just about to continue walking when he suddenly felt the bag tighten in his hand, and his whole body was almost pulled out in the next second.

"Who - stop the fuck!!" He was forced to let go, stood up angrily and looked over, then froze.

Not far away, a black figure stopped and turned around to look at Li Wei calmly. He was wearing black jeans, black boots, a black hooded jacket and a black T-shirt, and then a head of fiery red short hair was exposed from the hood of the jacket. It was as bright red as a solidified flame.

The boy looked about the same age as Li Wei, and his fair skin had a shimmering texture in the sun. He was obviously shorter than Li Wei, but he squinted his bright red eyes, arrogantly sweeping Li Wei up and down from under his eyes. After walking back and forth, he took out a pancake from the bag with no expression on his face, and took a bite out of it.

The corners of Li Wei's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and then the veins popped out one by one. The long-lost violent emotion took over the rational part, and then Li Wei rolled up his sleeves with a grinning grin, preparing to teach the kid a lesson - even though he was taller than the red-haired kid He is taller than him, but no matter how you look at it, he is a brat who owes a lesson!

The red-haired boy stood still, stuffed a pancake into his mouth in three mouthfuls, and then gave Li Wei a provocative smile with half of his face puffed up.

Li Wei's hands were shaking and hanging down feebly.Nima, can't you digest what's in your mouth first?The opponent is so stupid, I feel pressure, okay?

Look up again, Nima!The imp is gone! !
