"Lian Yue is a genius in mechanics," Shang commented. Few people could earn such praise from Shang. This Lian Yue must be a real talent. Ye Chong did not dwell on this question any longer. If an expert were to help, it would be far better than a dabbler like him.
Ye Chong was thinking of ways to improve Han Jia. Han Jia was good, but it was only on par with Darklight. Shang had mentioned that there were many more powerful mechs out there. More importantly, Ye Chong found that Han Jia was far inferior to Overwing.
This made Ye Chong feel a strong sense of danger and urgency.
Ye Chong believed that full-skeleton mechs must have more potential than this, and that there was still room for improvement. First, there was the problem of power. Without a good mech engine, there was nothing Ye Chong could do. Currently, Han Jia was using the engine removed from Yu Di. In reality, this engine's performance was excellent, but compared to Overwing's engine, there was still a huge gap.
For mech pilots, speed was a matter of life and death.
However, this was not an easy problem to solve. Ye Chong was not familiar with engines, and that was a different field.
In other areas, such as mech structure, reaction speed, and armor protection, Ye Chong had much room for improvement. In fact, Black Cove's mechs were the simplest among the Three Forces. However, simplicity did not mean that they were weak. This was directly related to their combat style.
Ye Chong's experience with the Darklight mech these few days was that experts were better at using the mech's weapon. Darklight would block almost all of his attacks with its pair of crescent blades. Ye Chong was different in this aspect. He was used to using various parts of his mech to block or attack. This was related to their training since young. Ye Chong grew up on the trash planet. Before he met Mu and Shang, he learned all his combat skills through actual combat. This was very important for his future development. Luo Wei had received systematic training from Black Cove since young, and was used to this combat style.
To Ye Chong, at a certain level, the difference between mech pilots would be their physical fitness and their understanding of combat. The higher the level of the mech, the faster it would be, and the more skillful the pilot would be, and the greater the burden on the body. For example, when Han Jia made a sudden turn at high speed, the burden on the heart would be enough to burst an average person's heart.
Then there was the hand speed. The instant the mech changed directions, he would need to have a good hand speed in order to complete the various maneuvers. In fact, this was one of the conditions that kept many mech pilots from advancing.
Of course, this was only on a technical level. Having these qualities did not mean that he was an outstanding mech pilot. The ability to correctly judge the current situation and respond accordingly, to predict the opponent's next move, to complete the entire battle plan in the shortest amount of time, and so on — these were the qualities that truly touched upon the essence of a mech pilot.
Ye Chong had all of these. Ye Chong's body was so strong that it never seemed to touch his bottom line. At least Ye Chong had never experienced any adverse reaction while piloting a mech. Ye Chong's hand speed had always been a hindrance to Ye Chong's hand speed. Ye Chong would only push his hand speed to its maximum during extremely dangerous situations. In all of these mechs, even when Ye Chong's hand speed was at its maximum, most of the time, it did not translate into effective maneuvers.
Technically speaking, Ye Chong was fully equipped to pilot a higher level mech.
However, in this day and age, a mech that was more advanced than Han Jia, and one that was suitable for him, Ye Chong could not think of anyone else who would have it, other than Black Cove.
But would Black Cove give it to him? That was a laughable thought. Black Cove was not a pushover, but Ye Chong himself was not one to solve problems with words. If there was a way to snatch an advanced mech from Black Cove, Ye Chong would definitely find a way to get it. Unfortunately, Black Cove's strength was not something he could deal with at the moment.
Unknowingly, he had offended all Three Forces. Now, only the Freedom Alliance seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Ye Chong shook his head and threw the unrealistic thought to the back of his mind. It was better to think of a way to modify Han Jia himself. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of full-skeleton mechs, skeletons were, in a sense, a disposable material. Once it was made, there was not much room for modification.
If Ye Chong was not satisfied with Han Jia, he would have to redesign and remake it. He still had plenty of skeletons, many of which were of high quality, with excellent properties. After all this time, he also had many new ideas. However, without an excellent engine, there was no point in talking about it.
Ye Chong had no choice but to put the matter aside for now.
Lian Yue was obviously traumatized by something these days. Every day, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was ready to fight someone, staring blankly at the holographic screens every day. Ye Chong took a look, and saw that the screens were filled with the blueprints of various engines.
Lian Yue would smile foolishly from time to time. His handsome face was now unbearable to look at. His pair of electrifying amorous eyes were now in a half-daze, drooling at the corner of his mouth, but he did not seem to notice.
It was obvious that something was wrong. Other than the occasional visit from Shang to the room, Ye Chong and Zhu Ling almost never greeted him. Fortunately, be it the people or the mechs on Coxcomb, they all had strong psychological endurance. Otherwise, the occasional ghostly wails in the metal lab would have been enough to scare a normal person.
Ye Chong began to think about his next step.
First, he had to complete the repair and modification of Coxcomb, or he would not be able to go anywhere. Now, he had to wait for Shang to come up with a detailed repair and modification plan.
As for Lian Yue, while Ye Chong believed that he was a very capable person, he understood the gap between the information Shang had and the information from the Five Galaxies. No matter how capable Lian Yue was, he would not be of any use in the short term.
Ye Chong believed that since Shang was able to recruit people, there should not be any problems. No one knew better than him what kind of demon Shang was in this aspect. In terms of understanding people's psychology, Shang was more than qualified to look down on Ye Chong. Ye Chong did not know what kind of conditions Shang had offered him, but Ye Chong did not plan to waste time on it.
Hmm, once Coxcomb was repaired, Ye Chong planned to go straight to Rainbow, and find out everything about his papa.
