According to previous years, the thesis competition was actually more important than the Battle of the Nine Academies. Although it was different from the Battle of the Nine Academies, the thesis competition had teams of three from each academy. Because these theses were all about solving and exploring difficult problems in the world of magic, they received more attention.
In contrast, the Nine Schools Battle was nothing more than a high school sports competition.
But this year's thesis competition was not that famous. It was even a bit of a dead end.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The previous terrorist attacks had caused the other eight schools to lose a lot of elites, including many talents in magic engineering. For example, Shouki Ichijō from the 3rd High School, his partner was an excellent Magic Engineering Technician. Originally, these people naturally prepared for the thesis competition, but now that they are dead, of course, these preparations are of course useless.
Under such circumstances, forget about preparing for the competition with great fanfare, there was even a discussion about whether to stop this year's thesis competition.
In the end, the excellent Japanese bureaucracy once again perfectly played its stubborn and rigid nature, saying that it would not stop. The schools could do nothing about it, but they could only nod in agreement.
Fortunately, not all the higher-ups were stubborn. Considering this year's situation, they made an exception and relaxed the restrictions on the contestants and specifications. For the higher-ups now, the most important thing was to successfully hold this year's thesis competition. Nothing else mattered.
That was why Fangzheng asked Kitayama Tide to cooperate with him.
Of course, the other two people in the team of three beside him were …
"Can … can I really join?"
Following behind Fangzheng in the reverberating steel workshop, Suika Mitsui asked uneasily. At first, she was uneasy because of the possible relationship between Fangzheng and Kitayama Bear, but after Fangzheng invited her to join the research team, Suika immediately entered a state of panic in a different sense.
"It's too late to say that, Suika."
Kitayama Bear tried to persuade her.
"The name list and the thesis topic have been submitted."
"But, but … can I really do it? This is such an important research topic … "
"It's not that important. Frankly speaking, it's just a child's toy."
Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the huge steel body in front of him. When he first designed it, he also thought about how big the robot should be, such as a three-headed body like Ryukamaru's, or a transfiguration shell like Duboway's, or a toilet seat machine like Sakura War's — but in the end, Fangzheng decided to play it big and go straight to the Gundam.
"Besides, your ability has indeed helped a lot, so it won't be a problem for you to join the research team."
Suika Mitsui's ability was light magic, and in the early stages of construction, this magic would solve many problems. This was because Fangzheng had specific requirements for many of the parts, but he was unfamiliar with the blueprints, which could lead to mistakes and omissions. Fangzheng would ask Mitsui Suika to use her Light Magic to create a 1: 1 illusion and explain it to the others. From a certain point of view, this was indeed very helpful.
In addition, Suika Mitsui's magic could also explore the interior through the principle of light refraction, which could also avoid construction problems. Therefore, for Fangzheng, this was also very useful.
"But then again … this is really fast."
Looking at the shape of the mech that had begun to take shape in front of him, Fangzheng could not help but sigh with emotion. The Northern Mountain Bear nodded.
"Everyone is very enthusiastic. Some even took the initiative to apply for overtime … Father was very surprised. After all, this has never happened before."
Sure enough, the Japanese really liked this kind of broken humanoid mech.
Hearing the Northern Mountain Bear's words, Fangzheng rolled his eyes helplessly. But he could also understand why the staff of Northern Mountain Industries worked so hard. This mech was really cool. Fangzheng had chosen this "Destiny Gundam" as the prototype of the mech after searching for a long time from the information he had in Mecha World.
The reason why Fangzheng chose it was very simple — — because it came with a big sword.
For Fangzheng, having a big sword was good civilization.
"But I really didn't expect that magic could be used in this way …."
Compared to the huge mech that was being built on the scaffolding, the Northern Mountain Bear was more concerned about another thing — — the energy core of the Gundam.
The Gundams in Mecha World used nuclear energy, but the nuclear energy in this world had not been developed to the extent of miniaturization. But this did not mean that Fangzheng had no other way. According to the setting of this world, the world itself was full of magic, but it was only the world itself. In other words, mages did not have magic power. What they did was actually equivalent to a port for absorbing, transforming and releasing magic power.
But Fangzheng had traversed through so many worlds, so he had naturally seen many similar methods of absorbing and storing magic power. So, he used the experience he had gained from other worlds to create such a magic core. As long as it was activated, the core could absorb magic power and supply it to the whole mech. From this point of view, it was like an inexhaustible perpetual motion machine ….
In fact, the Northern Mountain Bear knew that if this magic core was released to the public, it would be enough to shock and change the whole world of magic. But in fact, there were far more such improvements to this mech. There was also the MP framework that amplified magic through resonant vibration waves, the Dragon Rider system that could be operated at a distance …. Any one of these alone was enough to rewrite the history of the development of magic engineering.
But that man actually used this thing as an experimental platform for the practical application of flying magic ….
Although this thing could indeed fly with flying magic ….
Looking at the wings on the back of the mech, the Northern Mountain Bear was speechless. She could almost foresee how other people would react when they saw this mech during the thesis competition ….
Of course, strictly speaking, this mech was not without flaws. Fangzheng had also told her and Northern Mountain Bear that not everyone could use this thing at present. Only people with extremely strong magic power could operate it. Ordinary mages would probably be half-dead from just activating it.
Northern Mountain Bear did not care about this. Any new invention would naturally have many flaws when it first appeared. There was no such thing as a perfect invention. In fact, the most important significance of a new invention was that it "realized" the theory, proving that things that were originally only in theory could be created and used in reality. That was enough.
As for optimizations and enhancements, those could be slowly discussed in the future.
Just like that, time passed day by day.
During the beginning of the thesis competition in Yokohama, everything was unexpectedly calm. The human supremacists who had been causing trouble outside seemed to have chosen to give up because they did not succeed. Everything went according to plan, until the day of the thesis conference ….
For Fangzheng, Mitsui Suika and the Northern Mountain Bear, this was naturally very exciting.
But for Sibo Shenxue, this was not so exciting.
"Big brother, why do we have to go to the thesis competition?"
Sitting in the commuter car, Sibo Shenxue stared at her brother unhappily and asked. That day, the branch family of the Four Leaves family hoped that Sibo Shenxue could "take down" Fangzheng, which made Sibo Shenxue quite unhappy. To be honest, she did not particularly hate Fangzheng. She just felt that they could not get along with each other. The branch family also told her that only if Sibo Shenxue took down Fangzheng would they recognize her as the head of the family. Otherwise, they would let their father become the head of the family. Sibo Shenxue certainly did not want her father, who hated her brother, to become the head of the family.
But to sacrifice herself for this …. Sibo Shenxue was also very unwilling.
This was also the reason why she had been walking around Fangzheng all this time. Sibo Shenxue's feelings were also very complicated. After all, apart from her brother, she had never had similar feelings for anyone else, let alone taking the initiative to deepen her relationship with a man.
Normally, men would take the initiative to approach her as long as they saw her, but Fangzheng did not seem to be like other men. His attitude towards her was quite casual. He even seemed to be more enthusiastic towards Mitsui Suika and the Northern Mountain Bear than he was. This made Sibo Shenxue feel very complicated.
"I want to see if there's anything worth paying attention to in the thesis competition. I also want to know what Haruka Kasugano's research topic is."
Siboda was not as depressed as his sister. He basically knew nothing about Fangzheng. The two of them had never met before. The only time Siboda and Fangzheng had clashed was when they clashed on the research of "Universal Flight Magic". Siboda was naturally a little shocked by this. Not to mention, after that, Fangzheng released the content and code of the Automatic Calculation Core. For Siboda, this was quite worth thinking about.
But ….
"Ugh …."
Thinking of this, Siboda frowned slightly. A feeling of dizziness came over him, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Sibo Shenxue hurriedly asked when she noticed Siboda's strange expression. Siboda smiled and shook his head in response to his sister's question.
"It's nothing. I just feel a little tired. It's okay."
"Do you need a rest?"
"Yeah …."
Siboda thought for a moment, then closed his eyes and leaned on his sister. Ever since he finished reading the Automatic Calculation Core code published by Fangzheng, Siboda would feel dizzy from time to time. Sometimes the scene in front of him would even distort, and he would hear faint whispers in his ears …. Siboda did not know what was going on. He had checked himself and concluded that everything was normal.
So what was the cause of this?
Si Boda was also clueless about this.
