Universal Mechanic

Chapter 430

Lin Changye pointed at the projection screen and said: So cooling is very important for the design of this engine.

Mu Xingshuang said as he studied the design drawings: But this will also increase energy consumption, and our warships don’t need too high a speed, after all, we need to do business to exchange for resources.

Lin Changye: But if you encounter an emergency, this kind of engine will be very useful.

Mu Xingshuang: But it would be better to install it on a small ship, right? After all, a battleship is too big and it would be the same whether it is installed or not. Moreover, installing a star destroyer cannon is more deterrent than installing an engine.

As he spoke, Mu Xingshuang excitedly took out a projected design drawing.

Lin Changye shook his head and said: Give up! I have seen the connection structure of your energy pipelines. I can't bear to watch it anymore. At least one hundred of them can be removed! This connection caused nearly 10% energy loss.

Mu Xingshuang said distressedly: There is no way because many things are patched up, and it is difficult to modify them even if I want to.

Lin Changye: If you really want to replace the engine, these pipes must also be rearranged.

Mu Xingshuang: But that would cause the battleship to stop functioning! Even if we can store energy in advance to maintain the operation of the infrastructure, the battleship will definitely not be able to move.

Lin Changye: But if the pipelines are not modified, once the engine you designed is replaced, these pipelines will burst directly and blow up the entire battleship!

Mu Xingshuang said in surprise: ...Is the engine I designed so good?

Lin Changye nodded and said: It is indeed excellent. Even I find it difficult to find places that can be modified. Therefore, if the pipelines are not replaced, it will definitely explode... For example, the functions of this and these two pipelines are actually the same. Now it is because the output of the engine is limited that nothing went wrong. But if you change it to the one you designed, you should know the consequences yourself.

Mu Xingshuang: It will definitely explode... Teacher, how long do you think it will take to change everything?

Lin Changye: Even if I help you plan, it will take a month, right? Of course, if there are enough technical staff, then the time can be shorter.

Mu Xingshuang: In that case, I can only choose to participate in the open space next time we gather. Even if that happens, it doesn’t matter if I spend a month or two preparing.

Lin Changye: I can’t help you with this. I can only give you a certain amount of help, but any more will be crossing the line. I have finally been able to be free, and I don’t want to be so tired again. Otherwise, why would I accept you as my student?

Mu Xingshuang: Uh...publish a paper?

Lin Changye rolled his eyes and said: If I want to publish the paper, naturally someone will help me deal with it. Your greatest use is to block trouble for me. With me around, few people dare to bully you. In this way, outsiders will only know that you are my student and you will basically only stay on the battleship, but no one will know where I am. In this way, I can continue my vacation leisurely.

Mu Xingshuang: Why do I feel like I’ve lost out?

Lin Changye stretched out his finger and flicked her forehead, then said: Don’t be so ungrateful. Do you really think Luo Xiaoyao will protect you?

Mu Xingshuang rubbed his forehead and said: Teacher, can you?

Lin Changye: As long as you don't mess around, it'll be fine. Of course, if you do something stupid, I will beat you up first and then help you.

Mu Xingshuang: So it’s not a loss?

Lin Changye: Of course, but let me warn you first, I won’t care about you unless you are beaten to death.

Mu Xingshuang: Got it!

At this moment, with a ding sound, the lids of several machines in the basement of the workshop opened.

Lin Changye looked at the machine below through the transparent crystal floor and said: Oh, it seems that the parts printing is completed.

Mu Xingshuang: It’s so efficient. It’s only been half an hour, but why is it the sound of a microwave oven?

Lin Changye: Used by Alpha.

As he spoke, he took Mu Xingshuang down the stairs to the basement.

Mu Xingshuang: Why is the staircase so long? It only looked like one floor.

Lin Changye: That’s because the floor is made of a special kind of crystal that can shorten the field of vision. It is said that it is used for stargazing in a certain world. Just walk slowly. For safety reasons, we have to walk a distance of two floors to get there.

Mu Xingshuang blinked in surprise and said: Even I have never heard of this special crystal. If we had this kind of crystal, it would be much easier for us to explore!

Lin Changye chuckled and said: Haha, it’s a pity that this crystal won’t have much effect unless you make it into a floor like I did.

Mu Xingshuang curled her lips regretfully and said: What a pity... No, since such a large piece of crystal is required to be useful, then how big must the telescopes of the people in that world be?

Lin Changye: It’s probably about a hundred meters long, right?

Mu Xingshuang: Then this crystal might be very cheap, otherwise how much money would they have to spend to observe the universe?

Lin Changye said with a wry smile: Silly girl, we just have this special crystal, it's not the only crystal that can be used, wouldn't it be better to launch a satellite?

Mu Xingshuang: That’s right… So, teacher, how long do we have to walk? This distance is definitely more than just two floors!

Lin Changye: Be good and treat it as training... I should have asked Yisheng to redo it after I accidentally got the scale wrong.

At this time in the living room

Lin Xinglin rolled around on the fur carpet without any grace.

Charlotte said while playing games: Xiaoxing, can you please not be like this?

Lin Xinglin looked at Charlotte innocently and said: ...but I'm so bored.

Luo Yuan: So why don’t you play games with me? This game is quite difficult! Fang Mengtie, you should be more accurate! This boss is very violent and difficult to beat if you don’t drag it out.

Fang Mengtie: Sorry, it was an accident. Hey, Asta, please stop outputing. I can’t hold the hatred anymore!

Asta: Then let me take over. My mana bar is almost empty! You take over the monsters. My character is a bit fragile!

Fang Mengtie: Okay, then just be a little more steady!

Lin Xinglin looked at the people having fun and said: ...It looks so exciting.

Xi Qiling said while processing documents on his tablet: I have a lot of interesting information here. Do you want to see it?

Lin Xinglin: ...My brother doesn’t let me work.

Xi Qiling: ...If you are a good person who works moderately, can you still find a partner if you continue like this?

Lin Xinglin: My life is long enough to break through the sky. There is no need to rush. Besides, are you serious about finding a partner? It's good enough that we can digest it internally.

Xi Qiling: If you were somewhere else like this you would be beaten. Besides, I have enough suitors to circle a planet. We are just a little bit crazy, not really crazy.

Lin Xinglin: How dare you say that?

Xi Qiling: Of course, after all, I am not bad looking, and do you really think I will appear in any occasion openly? Normally, I wear a mask and only show half of my face.

Lin Xinglin: Wouldn’t it be nice for you to learn from me and wrap yourself up?

Xi Qiling: No, I’m not you. For me, showing half of my face is just to prove my identity.

Lin Xinglin: ...I should have thought that the sudden name change of a world-renowned intelligence organization might be related to you.

Xi Qiling: How nice is the name of Moon Palace? It's much better than the Shadow Council.

Lin Xinglin: ...The style is so different, isn't it? And they actually agreed to let you change it?

Xi Qiling: Haha, my mother is the current ruler and I can change it however I want. Of course, it’s mainly because I told her that the Queen likes the moon and she would be very happy if I changed it this way.

Lin Xinglin: ...Isn’t it inappropriate for you to do this?

Xi Qiling: What's wrong? Just tell me if the Queen is unhappy.

Lin Xinglin: ...You are probably the first such twisted follower who seems to have been cheated but actually was not, but in fact you still cheated.

Xi Qiling said very proudly: This is the highest realm of being a servant! As long as the master is not unhappy, I can do anything.

Lin Xinglin: ...Hello, sister-in-law.

Xi Qi Ling:!!!

Xi Qiling quickly turned her head and looked behind her. At this time, Li Yisheng was floating in the air and staring at her.

Xi Qiling: ...Then, Queen, please calm down, we...!!!

Before Xi Qiling could finish her words, Li Yisheng grabbed her head and dragged her into a space door.

Lin Xinglin: ...I let you drift. Now you don’t even have anyone to talk to.

Chu Yunqi was sitting on the ring blade, swinging back and forth like a swing, reading a book leisurely. When she heard Lin Xinglin's words, she raised her head and spoke.

Chu Yunqi: Isn't it good to read books? Do you want me to give you a few books?

Lin Xinglin looked at the book of World War History in Chu Yunqi's hand, which was nearly two dictionaries thick, and resolutely rolled away from Chu Yunqi.

Chu Yunqi: ...I didn't ask you to read the history of war with me. There are various books on the bookshelf next to it. You can choose for yourself.

Lin Xinglin looked at the bookshelf and continued to lie down.

Chu Yunqi:...What happened again?

Lin Xinglin: ...Forget it, I'd better just lie down. I'm so tired and don't want to move.

Chu Yunqi: Why don't you just go to the second floor to find Cang Yue? Her singing can make you sleep peacefully.

Lin Xinglin: ...No, it’s too tiring to go down.

Chu Yunqi rolled her eyes and said: You are so lazy, go take a bath and wake up!

After saying that, Chu Yunqi drew a circle and a space door opened below Lin Xinglin. Lin Xinglin, who was acting like a salted fish, had no time to react and fell directly into the lake.

Luo Cangyue, who was holding a guitar and kicking the water on the shore, gently plucked the strings to control a stream of water to push Lin Xinglin to the shore.

Luo Cangyue said as he looked at Lin Xinglin who was spitting out water.

Luo Cangyue: Do you want to listen to music?

Lin Xinglin climbed onto the shore and shook his clothes to get rid of the water droplets on them before looking at Luo Cangyue and saying.

Lin Xinglin: ...was thrown down. By the way, why is there something flashing under the lake?

As Lin Xinglin spoke, her eyes, which had been full of indifference, lit up. Falling into the water did not make her more sober. What really made her sober was the flickering light under the lake.

Luo Cangyue: Because there are a lot of crystal fragments scattered underneath? It's quite beautiful under the moonlight at night... Where are you?

Luo Yueshang: She jumped down before you even finished speaking. After all, even if the dragons were raised by Lin Changye, some of their hobbies cannot be changed. All dragons like shiny things, even Nidhogg is the same.

Luo Cangyue thought for a while and said: Yes, by the way, how many crystals do you think she can fish up?

Luo Yueshang: Last time, Gulandia only brought up a few dozen, right? After all, these crystals were dropped by Zhongyan and have some special properties. I was quite surprised that Gulandia could bring up so many last time.

Luo Cangyue: How many stars do you think Xiaoxing can bring up? I bet it can be more than a hundred.

Luo Yueshang: There are no stars now, I bet there are less than a hundred.

While they were chatting, Lin Xinglin had already started collecting crystals using both his hands and his tail!

After all, how can salted fish smell as good as sparkling crystal, right?
