Pinnacle Armor

The boy standing outside the airtight golden door stretched out his right hand timidly, and lightly pressed the scanner next to the alloy door.

Then the electronically synthesized voice sounded without a trace of emotion, "Identity confirmation, please enter. The light in the aisle is dim, please be careful where you step."

"Thank you, thank you." The boy thanked the machine reflexively, and when he realized what a stupid thing he had done, his face blushed instantly.

This is not the first time he has walked into this place.

As a waste despised by the whole family, this is one of the few special areas where he can come in, but the two brothers can only look at the door and sigh.

Therefore, whenever he was bullied by his younger brother, he would subconsciously come here.

The cold light pulled the boy's figure into a strange long strip. He walked in the corridor where the temperature was obviously several degrees lower than outside, and subconsciously hugged his arms tightly.

The destination of his trip was at the end of this spiraling passage.

The Ye family is not a very prominent family in the Star Alliance.Compared with Chen Xing's famous families, the Ye family's foundation is too shallow.The time when he started to enter the upper class can only be counted from the time when the owner of the previous generation, mecha technician Ye Fengnian, was the grandfather of the boy.

Although it is said that he started from the industry of mecha technicians, the current development of the Ye family basically has nothing to do with armor making.The current patriarch, Ye Boli, discovered his talent for becoming a knight when he was young, and through continuous struggle, he finally became a major in the Union Army at the age of thirty. It is foreseeable that his official career will have more Broad prospects.

Since Ye Boli, the Ye family has set the whole family's goal of becoming a family of knights.Ye Boli's eldest son, Ye Zifeng, lived up to his expectations. When he was only ten years old, he was praised by Major General Reed Moore, the most famous knight in the alliance.However, the good times didn't last long, and the blueprint of Ye Boli's dream had not been drawn up yet. The birth of his second son cast a shadow over the goal of "a family of knights" - he had no potential to be a knight at all.

After being tested by multiple authoritative organizations, Ye Boli realized that his second son was indeed a "trash", and he didn't even want to choose his name for him. On the body of the third son Ye Ziling who appeared.

The second son of the Ye family finally got his own name when he was four years old.

That year, Ye Fengnian, who worked in the Central Mecha Research Institute, retired honorably, returned to the Ye family, and personally named the child who was neglected by the whole family.

"Let's call it 'Xi'! No matter how bad the surrounding environment is, even in the dark world where you can't see your fingers, you must believe that you can see the dawn if you persist." Kindly caressing the child who has just been named by herself hair, Ye Fengnian said slowly.

Although it has been more than three years since that day, Ye Xi can still remember the temperature when his grandfather's generous and warm palm gently fell on his head.

Returning from memory to reality, Ye Xi gently touched the ends of her hair, then knocked on the silver door at the end of the passage in front of her, waited for 2 minutes, and after getting a response from inside, she opened the door carefully and entered.

"Didn't I tell you that you can just come in directly?" The old man who was studying something at his desk raised his head and smiled.

Ye Xi returned a shy smile to the other party.

"Xiaoxi, come here, grandpa will show you the experiment I'm doing." Beckoning to his grandson, Ye Fengnian said enthusiastically, "This is a model made twenty times smaller than the real mecha, I think We need to program a new operating program for it, so that the auxiliary energy tanks on both sides can use their maximum power..."

Ye Xi listened carefully, but could only understand a very small part of what his grandfather said.

He lowered his head in frustration, "I...don't understand...I'm sorry, I'm so useless..."

Hearing his grandson's choked self-reproach, Ye Fengnian's eyes showed pity.He thought for a while, put down the work at hand temporarily and said: "I don't blame you, you are too young, you haven't laid a good foundation, it's normal that you don't understand these advanced armor-making theories, it's because Grandpa didn't think carefully. Today Let's not do the experiment, let me tell you about someone, okay? Speaking of which, this person has something to do with your name. "

Hearing that it was related to her name, Ye Xi opened her eyes curiously.

"That's a child I met when I was seconded from the Central Research Institute to work under Master Gu Jingan. Speaking of which, he is only nine years older than you." Ye Fengnian motioned Ye Xi to sit down on the sofa beside him, "He is Gu Jingan." The master's closed disciple, a very outstanding young man."

"Is it better than grandpa?" Ye Xi asked frankly, hearing the envy in his grandfather's words.

Ye Fengnian couldn't help laughing, and said frankly to the terrified boy: "Yes, better than me."

Ye Xi's eyes showed longing, "He must be a great genius, right? Just like the big brother and the little brother..."

"Well, some people called him a genius." Ye Fengnian replied a little distractedly, "However, few people know that this genius does not have the strong mental power required by a first-class mecha technician."

"Eh?!"

Although the progress in the production of mechas is very limited, under the influence of Ye Fengnian, Ye Xi has a solid understanding of armor-related knowledge - most people always think that only knights need physical talents, while technicians only need All you need is a smart head.As everyone knows, in the process of making mechas, there are many places that require technicians to have at least B-level or higher mental perception in order to fully control them.People with poor mental strength, even if they become mecha technicians, can at most climb to the level of making mass-produced machines. Few people can develop a mecha completely independently.

But now, my grandfather said to himself that although there is a person who has almost no spiritual power, he can be called a "genius" by everyone.

Ye Xi frowned sensitively, and whispered: "Grandpa, you made up such a story to comfort me, right?"

Ye Fengnian laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Although you have learned to doubt, I am very happy, but do you think it is necessary for me to make up an exaggerated lie to lie to you? This boy really exists, and he is my old friend. He His name... is Lu Xingxi."

"Lu Xingxi..." Ye Xi repeated.

"Although his word 'Xi' is different from yours, the meaning is similar." Ye Fengnian said, his eyes showing a bit of nostalgia, "After knowing that he didn't have the mental power required by a mecha technician, he didn't give up on himself. Instead, he tried every means to overcome those problems that can only be solved with spiritual power. Because of this, he, who did not attend any formal college, was exceptionally favored by Master Gu and accepted as his apprentice."

Now Ye Xi finally believed that this was not a white lie of his grandfather.

"Unfortunately, his health is not good. Before I came back, he... passed away. I didn't even see his last work appearing in the exhibition..." After speaking, Ye Fengnian's voice trembled .Before Ye Xi was affected by his emotions, he quickly pulled himself together and said, "When I got home and found out that you were not suitable to be a knight and you didn't have much mental strength, the first thing I thought of was Lu Xingxi."

"Is that why you gave me this name, Grandpa?" After three years, Ye Xi finally understood his grandfather's intentions.

Ye Fengnian nodded with a smile, "I hope you can be like him, and one day walk out of your own path. At that time... maybe something I keep can be entrusted to you!"

Seeing that Ye Xi tilted his head in confusion, Ye Fengnian patted the other party's immature shoulder without further explanation.

But the result is that Ye Fengnian himself was knocked down by the illness before Ye Xi grew up enough to be able to take care of himself.

Before he died, when his family members were dissatisfied with the fact that he transferred all the property under his name to Ye Xi, Ye Fengnian secretly stuffed a beautiful blue chip into Ye Xi's hand.

"Keep it well, don't give it to anyone, and don't let anyone know that you have such a thing. The day you can unlock the encryption program on it... It's time to become the excellent technician that grandpa expects." Leave After these words, Ye Fengnian closed his eyes forever.

Several months after that, after going through various changes, and finally successfully escaping to Planet Luhe, Ye Xi, who was stabbed by the robbers, was lying on the ground, and there was only one thought in her mind——

It's a pity that I can't leave what my grandfather entrusted to me to someone who can pass it on.

If someone sees his own body and finds the blue scale chip, please God bless him, he must be an excellent technician who can crack the encryption program on it.

In that way, even if I don't have the chance to see the content stored here, I can still go to see my grandfather who went first...

After Ye Xi died, a meteor flashed across the sky, and the real Lu Xingxi opened his eyes in his body—it was like God's final compensation to Ye Xi, a boy with a rough fate.
