Chapter 263 My Name Is Chen Ping!
In the early morning, a ray of gentle sunlight pierced the darkness.
After a night's rest, Chen Ping and others were full of energy.
Chu Chi was ordered to wait outside Chen Ping's Duke's Mansion.
"Duke, the Regent sent me here to take you to the Institute!" Chu Chi was extremely respectful.
She didn't expect that Chen Ping would become a celebrity in the eyes of the Regent, and his status was even several times higher than Jing Mo's.
Compared to becoming Jing Mo's adjutant, Chu Chi was more willing to follow Chen Ping.
Not only because Chen Ping had a transcendent status, but also because of his generosity.
During the time he was with Chen Ping, Chu Chi received many rewards, especially after returning to the empire, Chen Ping secretly gave him a lot of energy ores and a large amount of gold coins.
Originally, Chu Chi wanted to buy some real estate directly in the imperial capital and bring his parents to the capital.
But on second thought, she suddenly got so much money, which would inevitably make the regent suspicious. Although the regent also gave a lot of rewards, compared with Chen Ping, it was nothing.
After thinking it over again and again, Chu Chi sent the gold coins rewarded by Chen Ping back to her hometown overnight and hid them. When the war is over or she "retires", she will take her parents to a bigger city. The money is enough for her to squander for several lifetimes.
"Thank you!" Chen Ping was as polite to Chu Chi as always.
"Your Excellency, you can't do it!"
Before, Chen Ping had not been canonized as a close-to-the-country duke, Chu Chi didn't care about this politeness, but now the identities of the two are worlds apart, and Chen Ping's attitude made her a little terrified.
Chen Ping didn't care. Several people took a spaceship and went to the place that the people of the heavens yearned for the most, the research institute of the six war gods' elytra.
The mechanical research institute of the heavens is like a towering steel city floating above the clouds.
Its outer wall is made of a metal that emits a faint blue light. This metal is not only extremely strong, but also can automatically absorb the surrounding energy and convert it into power for internal facilities. However, this conversion rate is extremely low, and it is already the limit to maintain the normal operation of the institute.
The gate of the institute is hundreds of meters high, like the open mouth of a giant beast.
The material of the gate is a special alloy, and the surface flashes with golden arcs. When the gate slowly opens, it will emit a low roar, as if it is the roar of a mechanical giant beast.
Six huge mechanical statues stand on both sides of the gate, one of which has only the lower body. The statue is the first generation of the six mechanical war gods of the heaven. They hold tools and stare into the distance with firm eyes, as if guarding this institute.
Pass through the gate, cross the huge garden, and walk into the hall of the institute.
The first thing that comes into view is a huge energy crystal chandelier, which emits a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire hall. The floor of the hall is paved with transparent crystal floors, and you can see the criss-crossing mechanical pipes and lines below. On the walls around the hall are hung huge mechanical design drawings, which show the research results of the institute over the years.
Extending from the hall to the inside are rows of research rooms.
Each research room has a unique function.
Some research rooms are dedicated to the study of the power system of gravity bodies, and the rooms are filled with engines and energy conversion devices of various shapes.
Other research rooms are dedicated to the control system of gravity bodies, which contain various simulated cockpits, and in addition, there are some weapons research and development rooms.
"Brother Chen, you are here!"
Wayne was sleepy, as if he had just woken up. They have been conducting research here all year round and have no fixed schedule.
"Yeah!"
Chen Ping nodded.
The Six War Gods' Elytra have a transcendent status in the empire. Even when meeting the Regent, they don't need to salute. Only when they meet the Emperor, they will be more respectful.
"The Regent has given instructions, but... our captain should not have gotten up yet. Let me take you to visit the institute first!" Wayne scratched his head and said awkwardly.
"Okay!" Chen Ping didn't care.
"This is the parking area for the gravity body. It is one of the most spectacular places in our entire research institute, um... one!" Wayne walked in front and introduced.
In the huge parking area for the gravity body, various types of gravity body mechas are parked. They are like sleeping giants, exuding a strong sense of oppression, and the shell reflects a cold metallic luster under the light.
Next to the parking area for the gravity body is the test area, which is a huge circular venue. The ground and surrounding walls of the venue are made of special impact-resistant materials.
Here, the gravity body can undergo various performance tests, such as strength tests, speed tests, and maneuverability tests.
The venue is surrounded by various testing instruments, which can accurately measure the various data of the gravity body during the test process, providing a basis for the improvement of the gravity body.
In the back, there is the assembly area, a place full of mechanical arms and tools.
There are huge mechanical arms waving in the air here, which can easily lift heavy mecha parts and assemble them accurately together.
On the workbench in the assembly area, there are various unassembled mecha parts. These parts are exquisitely crafted, and every detail reflects the superb level of Tianjie mechanical manufacturing.
While taking Chen Ping and others to visit the research institute, Wayne also briefly introduced the members of the Six War Gods of Elytra.
"Our captain Meiwen is the great-grandson of the first generation of the Six Mechanical War Gods of Meili, and is also the youngest and most talented mechanic in the entire organization!"
"He is indifferent to everything and seems a little lazy. The only thing he is interested in is brand new technology or content related to mechanical experiments. People who don't know her can easily misunderstand her as an arrogant person, but he has no ill intentions!"
"Ah, speaking of Jill's betrayal, it is also related to Meiwen. He has always regarded Meiwen as a competitor, but Meiwen knows nothing about it and doesn't care at all. This indifferent attitude stimulates Jill, who is extremely jealous..." Wayne sighed.
"Merry's great-grandson?" When Chen Ping heard this, he instantly understood that this Meiwen should be the descendant of Bata, the leader of the first generation of the Six Mechanical Gods of War.
"Wayne! Are you talking bad about me behind my back again?"
A slightly childish voice suddenly sounded. At the end of the corridor, a petite and cute loli was pretending to be angry at Wayne.
"Haha! Captain! How could I say bad things about you!" Wayne scratched his head habitually.
"You are the one the Regent said... What's your name?" Mei Wen looked at Chen Ping and thought for a long time, but she couldn't remember his name. Although the Regent emphasized it many times, her memory was always poor when it came to things related to mechanics.
"My name is Chen Ping!" Chen Ping introduced himself.
"Well, you met Wayne and Sig yesterday. Let them accompany you to the Land of Chaos this time!" Mei Wen said.
"Captain, the research on the latest power system is at a critical moment, and I can't leave!" Wayne said with a wry smile.
"Uh... You can't let me go, right? I still have to study the power system!" Mei Wen was a little entangled.
"Let Meilin go! She is the one among us who knows the most about gravity bodies and is also the strongest in gravity bodies!" Wayne said quickly.
"Big sister? I can't invite her!" Mei Wen shook her head and soon her eyes fell on Chen Ping.
"That... Wang Ping, my elder sister is the strongest among us. If you can persuade her to go with you, there will be no danger!"
"I... my name is Chen Ping!"
"Yes, I remember!" Mei Wen nodded.
"Wayne, where is my elder sister?"
"Yesterday, the Regent sent energy, Meilin took some, and then drove the gravity body out!" Wayne replied.
"Without energy for such a long time, my elder sister must be exhausted!"
Mei Wen turned to Chen Ping and said, "Zhang Ping, wait here for a while, my elder sister should be back soon!"
Chen Ping was slightly stunned, and suspected that this little loli was not bad in memory, but in hearing.
As soon as Mei Wen finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound outside.
"My elder sister is back!" Mei Wen said, and did not go out to greet her, but immediately turned around and walked towards a laboratory.
