The Man Disgusted by Death

On the first day of the annual vacation, Xingyun's students left school one after another, and the campus became quiet.

Lu Zhao hid in his room all day.

On the second day, probably because of the constant psychological hints, Lu Zhao gradually put aside those nasty memories, and went to work at the car repair shop with vigor.

After the holiday, Lu Zhao has to work [-] hours a day at Baofeng Auto Repair. The boss originally planned to give him [-] yuan per week according to working hours, but Lu Zhao firmly refused.It was nothing more than cleaning parts in the basement at first, and then the boss asked him to learn how to repair cars in the workshop on the second floor, and taught him a lot of things almost by hand.

"Boss, I shouldn't be getting a salary. Instead, I should pay the tuition fee." Lu Zhao said shamelessly, "I didn't say anything before because I had to save the tuition fee for the next year, but now I have the full subsidy. save more money."

The boss blew his beard and stared, "What are you talking about, I'll take it for you."

Lu Zhao has known for a long time that the boss, like Qiao Miaomiao, is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, so he is not afraid of him, "I will not dare to come in this way."

The boss glared at Lu Zhao, and found that the kid was unmoved at all. Finally, he put away his ferocious expression and coughed dryly, "Then don't call me boss anymore, call me teacher."

Lu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then happily called "Teacher."

The teacher was very happy to hear that, and asked his new apprentice to sit down and chat with him.

The teacher's name is Lasswell, who used to be a mecha maker. After retiring, he returned to his hometown of Amber to open this car repair shop. Some of the mechas in the basement were made by him.

"In fact, my job is to make prototypes." Lasswell said: "After all the mechs are designed, you need to make a prototype first, determine the performance data, and then the factory can start mass production. Many new mechas are due to There is no precedent to follow, and the production of prototypes is very critical, and the best solution can only be obtained through continuous improvement and continuous testing regardless of cost.”

"That's right." Lu Zhao opened his eyes.

Lasswell added: "I know an old guy, a designer who used to work with me, who lives in a town on the outskirts, and he asked me to remodel an old mech a few days ago. If you are interested, I will take you there to see and see."

"Reform the mecha?" Lu Zhao was overjoyed. They had a mecha theory course in the second grade. If they could see a mecha transformation with their own eyes, they would definitely benefit a lot. "I'm going!"

"Okay." Lasswell laughed loudly, "Take you there!"

The next morning, Mr. Lasswell took his little apprentice to the small town called Hemlock Town in a fast racing car.

The mecha designer, who Lasswell called Wooden Old Man, lived on a small hill in the town. The house was large and surrounded by green trees.

"He has already hollowed out the bottom of the house, and made a huge underground space." Lasswell said: "He often helps people transform mechs, so all kinds of mechanical equipment are complete."

As soon as the flying car landed, a person came out of the house.The man looked completely different from Lasswell. He looked like a man in his 60s, with black beard and hair, stylish and decent clothes, like a pampered old gentleman.

"Victor, my old buddy, I'm looking forward to you." Old Mu greeted loudly.

Lasswell is not very face-saving, "Really, didn't you say that there are other candidates, and it's not just me."

"Where can it be?" Old man Mu categorically denied, "That mecha was made by the two of us in the past, and now we need to modify it, of course we have to come."

"If it weren't for the sake of the mecha, I really wouldn't come." Lasswell said draggingly.

The old man Mu was very familiar with Lasswell's temper, so he didn't take it seriously, "Okay, it's good if you can come."

"That's right." Laswell introduced Lu Zhao, "This is my apprentice."

"Your apprentice?"

"Yeah, I'm young, and I'm still studying in Xingyun." Lasswell showed off calmly, and then said to Lu Zhao, "Say hello to Master."

The wooden old man was upgraded to become a wooden master.

Lu Zhao complied immediately, "Master, hello."

Master Mu said with a smile: "The young man is very good, what's his name?"

"My name is Lu Zhao."

"Oh, Xiaolu, are you interested in working here?" Master Mu poached the wall in front of Lasswell.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Lasswell was furious.

"Don't be irritable." Master Mu said to Lasswell: "Your apprentice has just been confiscated for a few days, or you will show it off last time, since you have just been confiscated for a few days, you might as well give it to me." Well, I think he looks like a member of our family."

"What's the temperament of your family?" Lasswell asked.

"The demeanor of a general who is not surprised by changes."

"Come on, what kind of general demeanor does a mecha builder need?" Lasswell warned: "If you talk nonsense again, I will leave."

It is estimated that Master Mu felt that it is more important to coax Laswell well, so he did not mention Lu Zhao, "Okay, okay, I will show you that mech first."

Master Mu took the master and apprentice down to the basement by elevator.

This basement, to be precise, is a huge cave. It has a very large area and has been built like a mech workshop. There are many tall take-off and landing equipment and manipulators around it.Some small robots with flashing lights running around busy, looking very professional.

"Look, it's there!" Master Mu pointed to a white mecha standing in the center of the workshop, "The first generation of Avengers prototype No. 001, she is the first one, and it is also the one that we spent the most effort on. "

This time Lasswell did not raise the bar, but sighed and continued, "Yes, the best materials are used, even beyond the times."

"So I plan to let our Nemesis surpass one more time." Master Mu showed a determined smile.

"Oh, how to surpass?" Lasswell wondered.

"What do you think of the antimatter engine?"

"What? You want to install an antimatter engine on the mecha?" Lasswell was shocked. "This is a mecha, not a spaceship."

Master Mu looked at Lasswell with a very regretful look, "Victor, you are old, don't you even have this bit of aggressiveness?"

"What did you say?" Lasswell became irritable again, "As long as you dare to design, I will dare to make it!"

"Very good." Master Mu said happily: "Actually, I designed an antimatter engine for mechs a few years ago. Come and take a look."

Lasswell followed Master Mu to the side to discuss the engine, while Lu Zhao was still looking up at the mech blankly.He thought of the night on the Hanhai plateau, and his memory was full of blood, fear and despair, as if covered with a layer of blood mist, the only thing that stood out was the godlike flying mecha.

That mecha is very similar to the one in front of me, and it is very likely to be the same model.

Silent, powerful, and possessing absolute power, it turns out... her name is the Avenger.

Lu Zhao's heart was pounding. He suddenly knew what he was going to do when he chose a department next year. He wanted to choose the Department of Mechanics—making mechs like a teacher.

At noon, Master Mu invited the two masters and apprentices to have dinner.Master Mu is a very particular person, and the lunch at his house is also exquisite and delicious, but Lasswell was not in the mood to savor it carefully. He dragged Master Mu to continue the morning discussion after he finished his meal in a hurry.

"Go to my research room." Master Mu said, "I have a small super intelligent brain here, and the design drawings are all on it."

"You even have a super intelligent brain?" Lasswell asked, "Did you spend a lot of money?"

"No way, ordinary brains can't work at all." Master Mu spread his hands.

Master Mu's intellectual brain research room is quite large, but after passing through several glass partition doors, the innermost one is just a small room.If it weren't for the two virtual pods set up on one side of the room, it would look like a very ordinary reception room, with sofas, coffee tables, and a mecha model display cabinet.

"All the facilities are under our feet." Master Mu explained, "This is just the control room, and there is another passage to the computer room."

The three sat down on the sofa, and Master Mu said, "Hades, turn it on."

"Okay, master." Zhinao's answer was a calm male voice.

A light screen appeared in front of Master Mu, he manipulated it, and then a three-dimensional projection of a mecha appeared above the coffee table.The mecha slowly rotated, and with the rotation of the projection, groups of data emerged like flowing water, and were arranged around the mecha.

"It seems a bit difficult, let's use the virtual cabin." Master Mu suggested.

"Okay, hey, there are only two virtual cabins here?" Lasswell was dissatisfied.

"I usually use it alone." Master Mu said to Lu Zhao, "Sorry, Xiaolu."

Lu Zhao quickly shook his head and said it was okay.

Lasswell said, "Then you stay outside."

The master and the master entered the virtual cabin, and Lu Zhao was left alone on the sofa. He could still see the mecha design through the stereoscopic projection and the light screen in mid-air, but he couldn't hear the discussion of the two people.

After a while, the shell of the mecha in the projection was peeled off, revealing the structure inside, and then various parts were separated from it one by one, until only the most important engine remained.The projection of the engine rotated a few times in the air, and then was cut horizontally, so that the internal distribution can be seen at a glance.

At the beginning, Lu Zhao could get a general idea, but later he became more and more confused. The engine parts were enlarged in turn, occupying the main content of the projection. He could only guess that it was the two masters discussing the design of the engine.

It was very late when the master and apprentice left Master Mu's house that day. Laswell drove Lu Zhao to the No. [-] gate of Xingyun Academy, "Let's meet here at nine tomorrow. We may have to live there for a while."

"Okay, Master." Lu Zhao agreed.

Since then, Lu Zhao followed Lasswell to live in Master Mu's mansion.
