Looking at the holographic image presented in front of him, Wang Chen couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
The gift Mingmei gave him was a blueprint of a combat mecha!
This mecha is obviously different from the fighters Wang Chen has seen. Its biggest feature should be that it is handsome.
Whether it is the main body, limbs or head, whether it is external armor or color painting, or the wings spread out on the back, it is powerful, domineering and cool, and perfectly fits the image of the strongest mecha in the eyes of passionate teenagers.
Although Wang Chen is no longer a passionate young man, this specially designed mecha still arouses a trace of passion in his heart.
That's the desire to fight!
"Its name is Xiaojiang. It is 13.75 meters tall and weighs 10.5 tons. It is equipped with two PC6600 engines and its main weapon is a 150mm super particle cannon..."
Wang Chen's eyes unknowingly left the mecha in front of him and fell on Mingmei, who was introducing him next to him.
The girl's eyes were shining at this moment, and she didn't notice Wang Chen looking at her at all. She explained the data, characteristics and combat power indicators of this self-named "Xiong General" mecha with great seriousness and kindness.
Invest.
Wang Chen thinks that Mingmei like this is the most beautiful!
Of course, he remembered every word his girlfriend said.
There is no doubt that the Xiaojiang is a self-modified combat mecha specially built by Mingmei for Wang Chen. It is a standard twin-engine medium-sized mecha. Whether it is thrust, endurance, armor, weapons or auxiliary data, in a medium-sized mecha,
They are all outstanding.
This mecha is also equipped with an AT force field generator, and its defense power is no less than that of a small spacecraft.
The problem is that…
Wang Chen asked: "What's the budget?"
This question caused the girl's glowing face to instantly collapse. She lowered her head, peeled off her fingernails nervously, and said softly: "At least fifty million stars."
Fifty million stars!
You must know that the monthly salary of an ordinary white-collar worker is only 4,000 to 5,000 star dollars, and 50 million is a monthly income of 10,000!
Wang Chen recalled the balance in his Imperial Bank account and couldn't help but sigh.
Poor!
Mingmei was even more uneasy: "I, I still have hundreds of thousands in my account..."
Wang Chen laughed dumbly, stretched out his hand to hug the other person into his arms: "Thank you!"
He stared down at the girl and said: "This mecha is very good and I like it very much. Believe me, I will definitely be able to save the money to build it and make your design a reality!"
Combat mechas can be mainly divided into standard mechas and self-modified mechas. The former are basically mass-produced models, such as the ZS-057G fist blade used by Wang Chen in previous battle training.
The advantage of the standard mecha is that it is extremely versatile, can be equipped with a variety of standard accessories, and can also interchange parts, which is most suitable for the needs of large-scale wars.
But pilots, especially mid- to high-level mecha pilots, often have strong personalities and unique fighting styles.
Standard mechas will inevitably not be able to fully meet their combat needs.
This gave rise to self-modifying mechas.
It can be said that the self-modifying mecha is born for human beings. It is a combat weapon exclusive to a mecha master. A powerful pilot paired with a highly compatible self-modifying mecha can often display 100% of its strength!
In addition, the nature of the self-modified mecha determines that it will not be as easily targeted by the enemy as the standard mecha.
However, under normal circumstances, the empire would not provide a budget for the mecha master's self-modifying mecha.
How to modify it is up to the mecha master himself, and of course he has to pay for it himself, otherwise he can only use the standard mecha.
In this regard, pilots from noble families have a great advantage.
Because they can get the support of their families, they can afford the cost of modification.
And Wang Chen was not only a commoner, but also an orphan of the war dead, and Mingmei was just a little illegitimate daughter of a baron. Their combined wealth could not afford to buy an engine for assembling the "General".
Not even a fraction is enough.
The price of a PC6600 engine exceeds seven million stars!
Mingmei's idea is beautiful and she has put in all her efforts, but the reality is so cruel.
But Wang Chen was very happy that she had such intention.
As for the high expenses, just earn them slowly, since he will have to stay in the First Military Academy for more than three years anyway.
"Um."
Mingmei also knew that her thoughts were a bit naive, but with Wang Chen's comfort, her heart was filled with happiness, and she wished that time could stop at this moment forever.
However, just as the two were feeling tender and affectionate, Wang Chen's personal terminal suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.
Wang Chen clicked on it and found that the message was a letter of commendation!
He had just received the fifth-class merit award from the Imperial Military Department and a Bronze Star Medal.
The military merits of the Imperial Army are divided into seven levels: special, first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth.
Wang Chen's fifth-level merit came from his victory in killing pirates on the Yuanxing cruise ship when he came to the First Military Academy.
This incident happened more than half a year ago. Although Wang Chen's military exploits were reported by the Imperial Security Bureau, there was no news after that, making him think that this was the end of the matter.
I didn’t expect that this award would be long overdue until today!
"Fifth-class meritorious service!"
Mingmei, who was nestled in Wang Chen's arms, also saw the news and couldn't help but feel happy for him: "That's great!"
The empire has always paid attention to military merit. Although the fifth-level meritorious service is not very high, once Wang Chen officially joins the army, he will be able to advance to the next level with this military merit, and the treatment will be very different.
"Okay."
Wang Chen smiled and closed the message, but what he was thinking about was how to make money.
He has no family support behind him, so he can only rely on himself for everything. Unless he works as a dog for the noble children, it is not easy to obtain resources, and his status as a student is also a great constraint.
That night, Wang Chen specially took time to enter the Xinghai Network and search for various ways and methods to earn stars.
Originally, he had been making money in the Xinghai Arena, but now as his winning rate has greatly improved, the number of stars he can earn is getting smaller and smaller.
In fact, even if he could continue to make money, the star yuan he earned would still be far from enough to meet Wang Chen's needs.
What Wang Chen didn't expect was that he didn't find a suitable way to make money on the Internet. Instead, the Abnormal News Society gave him a small surprise.
The day after returning to the academy, a member of the Abnormal Journalism Club found Wang Chen.
This member's name is Sun Xinhong, and he wants to ask Wang Chen to be his martial arts instructor.
"You want to learn physical skills and fighting skills from me?"
Wang Chen was very curious: "Then how much do you plan to pay?"
There is no problem in being a personal trainer. The question lies in how sincere the other person is. His time is very precious.
Sun Xinhong immediately reported a number.
But that’s not the point. The point is that he wants to buy in a group!
