Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 1033 - 710: Encirclement Operation (Part 2)
"The new generation?" Helen's eyes lit up. As a top scientist, she had an instinctive excitement for words like "creation" and "novel."
"Exactly." Bai E quickly outlined his thoughts, "Our previous mechas were strong because of their unique Spiritual Energy adaptability, specialized design against the Bug Race and higher dimensions, and some black technology acquired through reverse engineering. But their underlying architecture indeed shows strong patchwork and emergency practical traces, with weaknesses in standardization, versatility, and energy curve smoothness. These are precisely what the Star Alliance standards emphasize."
"Now, we have one month. I want you to focus the Fire Hammer Guild of Dai Lian, the reverse engineering team of Zhou Wenjie, and all the top engineers and scientists on Mine Star, with you at the center, to complete the following tasks:"
"First, conduct in-depth research on the 17th edition of the Star Alliance's technical specifications, thoroughly grasp the design philosophy and safety requirements behind them. We are not making a mecha that barely meets the standards, but one that from its initial design perfectly aligns with and even surpasses these standards."
"Second, integrate all our technological advantages. Standardize, refine, and synthesize the special material science knowledge we obtained from the Bug Race shells and alien minerals, forming a new alloy formula with clear performance parameters that can be tested and certified. Additionally, the core results of the 'Mecha Modification Plan 2.0' you've been researching, based on the Biological Main Brain Theory and neural link technology, should be integrated with the Star Alliance's universal standards! Most importantly, the 'knowledge' I previously entrusted to you should also be applicable here."
That knowledge was something Bai E extracted from the "Divine Fragment," not belonging to any national force of the current Star Alliance. Even the Peak Alliance, which possesses it, has yet to bring out a tangible product.
Bai E's voice was filled with power: "What we're doing is not simply meeting the standards but using our existing technological foundation to achieve a redefinition of 'standards'! The new generation prototype we build must not only pass the most rigorous technical review but also, while maintaining our original characteristics, possess superior universality, stability, and maintainability, becoming the standardized blueprint for the future 'New Bauhinia' mecha forces! Storm Battle Armor 2.0, we've done it before; let's do it again!"
Helen listened to Bai E's vision, the light in her eyes growing brighter.
This is a massive challenge, but also an excellent opportunity!
To integrate, refine, and recreate those slightly scattered technological achievements from different sources into a complete, advanced mecha technology system that aligns with the mainstream cosmic standards!
"A month... time is very tight."
Helen quickly calculated, "But it's not impossible. You already have a clear goal and standard, as well as a profound technological accumulation, and sufficient resources. If we concentrate all our efforts, prioritize the highest level of breakthrough... I have a 70% confidence level that within 25-28 days, at least one prototype meeting your requirements can be produced, along with complete design blueprints, technical verification reports, and standardized production procedures."
"Seventy percent confidence is enough." Bai E nodded, "Helen, I am placing you in full charge of this matter. All resources on Mine Star are at your disposal. Dai Lian, Zhou Wenjie, and everyone else must cooperate with you. Additionally, I need you to, while manufacturing the prototype, prepare all the detailed, regulation-compliant technical documents, safety validation data, and material composition reports necessary for submission to the Star Alliance's Technical Review Department. We're not aiming to barely pass but to legitimately knock on the competition's door using our own technological strength!"
"Understood." Helen's expression became extremely serious and focused, "Leave it to me. In a month, you'll see our new child. But..."
She paused, "The prototype can be manufactured here, but for production and transportation to you..."
"I'll handle that," Bai E had already planned, "Gong Yan."
"Here, sir!" Gong Yan responded immediately.
"You are to immediately start, through 'Money Eye' or other reliable channels, to secretly rent a workshop capable of small to medium-sized mecha manufacturing, with Star Alliance-approved qualifications, in 'Star City' or nearby Star Domain. It doesn't need to have strong technology, but it needs 'qualification' and 'facility.' Also, prepare to receive core components and key technical teams transported secretly from Mine Star. We are to complete the final assembly and declaration within the allowed rules. Remember, all actions must be secretive to avoid our opponents detecting our true intentions prematurely."
"Yes, sir!" Gong Yan accepted the mission, eyes gleaming with the light of executing secret tasks.
"Catherine, Kuang Xin, Rose." Bai E looked at his soldiers, "During this month, your training cannot stop. Not only undergo routine physical, tactical, and Spiritual Energy training but also begin to learn the Star Alliance's technical specifications in advance, to understand the design philosophy of the new generation mecha. When the new mecha arrives, you must adapt to it and establish rapport with it in the shortest time possible. This is also a battle."
"Understood!" The three responded in unison, full of fighting spirit.
"Elorin Scholar." Bai E finally looked at this key aiding scholar of the Star Alliance, "We still need your assistance to maintain communication with the event committee, securing reasonable preparation time within the rules framework, and keeping an eye on any potential new developments."
"No duty is too difficult." Elorin said solemnly.
He increasingly felt that following Bai E and his "New Bauhinia" might witness something truly capable of breaking conventions and bringing about change.
After arranging everything, Bai E once again looked out at the stars outside the window.
Multiple hunting nets have been cast, but at the same time, another path has been opened up—
Not compromise and cater, but integrate and surpass.
The month passed by in a flash.
Time flew by in intensive and orderly training, intelligence gathering, and covert technical preparation.
Every day countless eyes… whether Iron Alliance, Holy Silver Church Country, or those forces exerting influence through secret channels, closely monitored every move of the "New Bauhinia" base.
The informants they planted, the information obtained through commercial networks, and even some "friendly" teams' sideways probing all returned information that left them a bit puzzled and vaguely uneasy.
No frenzied scrambling, no despair or furious rebellion due to unqualified mechas.
The Seventh District of the International Pavilion was surprisingly calm.
Bai E and his team, as usual, engaged in high-intensity physical, tactical, and Spiritual Energy training, showed up in the public training area to familiarize with the environment and observe opponents, maintaining normal diplomatic interactions with some neutral or friendly teams.
Even their representative, Gong Yan, sent out to find workshops and materials, seemed cleverly disguised or distracted, failing to reveal a clear core intent.
This unusual calmness made their sense of "evil plot success" gradually cool down, but instead, a hint of suspicion arose.
Could it be that "New Bauhinia" has completely given up, resigned, and no longer plans to continue competing?
Or… have they found some loophole around the rules?
Amid such suspicion and waiting, the date for the first phase "qualification screening competition" of the Star Alliance finals was drawing increasingly near.
According to the process, all participating teams must submit the final version and approved certification documents of the mecha they will compete with to the technical review department at least three days before the start of the competition…
