Chapter 7

As a powerless prince who relied on beauty to ascend the throne, ‘Yi Nuo’ certainly couldn’t raise only one fish.

‘Yi Nuo’ understood the truth that all the eggs couldn’t be put in just one basket. ‘He’ not only seduced Yue Zhan but was also ambiguous with other people, such as the future mecha manufacturing master in front of him, as well as… the minister of public affairs, the prime minister, the chief of the Academy of Sciences and so on.

In short, all of them were men with power. Otherwise, how could ‘he’ end so badly afterward?

However, even though ‘he’ was the emperor, he only had a real relationship with Yue Zhan. Mainly because Yue Zhan was already very strong1, and it was too unbearable for ‘him.’

Moreover, Yue Zhan also managed ‘him’ strictly and didn’t give him the chance to climb the wall2 at all. Every time ‘he’ was ambiguous with someone and got caught, there would be… a fancy sex scene.

Therefore, although ‘he’ raised many fish, there weren’t many opportunities for developments related to them. Hu Yichen had even fewer scenes because he was cleaned up by Yue Zhan due to his infatuation with ‘him’.

[Cough, stop! It’s not the time to think about it; I have to focus on the current situation.]

Yi Nuo hurriedly diverted his attention and tried to stop recalling the plot in the book.

Next to him, Yue Zhan sat like a sculpture, motionless.

After listening to the little prince’s thoughts, he felt… a little bad. He seriously suspected that the other party might be crazy.

It wasn’t much to YY him. But he actually dared to YY the prime minister as well as the minister of public affairs?

He suddenly wanted to shake the head of the little highness and ask him what he was thinking.

The minister of public affairs was almost 200 years old this year. He could be the grandfather of the little prince’s grandfather. As for the prime minister, he didn’t want to comment, but… he looked really bad. There was also the chief of the Academy of Sciences, who was rapidly becoming older.

As for this Hu Yichen…

Yue Zhan glanced at the young technician carelessly—

His appearance was gentle and handsome, but he looked a bit dull. Probably because of long-term technical work and his big black-rimmed glasses.

Yue Zhan’s mood was very complicated. Did it turn out that in the little prince’s heart, he3 would actually be jealous of these people? No, to be more precise, did the little prince actually like these people?

Inexplicably, he had the illusion that the watery cabbage had been eaten by a pig4, although… it seemed that… in the heart of the little prince, he was also one of them5.

Yue Zhan didn’t know that before the minister of public affairs, the prime minister, and the chief of the Academy of Sciences, the word ‘future’ had to be added. Yi Nuo wasn’t talking about the current ones far away in the imperial capital.

On the other hand, Zong Ming looked obviously unhappy after being beaten in the face by a young technician. In particular, the young technician’s opinion was still consistent with that of Yi Nuo, which made him even more uncomfortable.

“What’s wrong with the data?” Zong Ming asked.

He couldn’t manage the little prince, but how could he not handle this young technician under him?

Yi Nuo turned to look at Hu Yichen when he heard Zong Ming’s question, wondering how he would answer.

The Hu Yichen in the book was also an insignificant technician at first, but he was smart and had strong hands-on skills. He only relied on self-study to finish all the mecha manufacturing books available on the market. Later, he entered the Imperial Royal Academy for further research and soon soared to the sky.

According to the timeline in the book, Hu Yichen should be very powerful now, but there was no chance for him to stand out.

Yi Nuo wanted to see if the reality was the same as in the book.

Hu Yichen didn’t care about Zong Ming’s sharp tone and walked to the screen. He bowed to Yi Nuo and Yue Zhan, pointed to the data, and started explaining, “The fluctuation of these two lines of data is within the acceptable range of error. However, compared with the previous test data, the fluctuation range is obviously larger, and the frequency of the occurrence is also higher.”

“In fact, these two mechas are not the only ones in this state. The test results of the other Z-series mechas are the same. But they are not as obvious as these two…”

“So? What does this mean? Are you saying there is a problem with the Z-series mechas?” Zong Min interrupted him impatiently.

Yi Nuo, who was listening to Hu Yichen’s explanation happily: “…”

This man was so annoying. He somewhat understood why Gavin said it was difficult to get along with Zong Ming.

Yue Zhan also frowned slightly.

Hu Yichen didn’t care and continued, “The number of times when an excellent performance downgrades has increased significantly. Even if it’s still within the acceptable range, it shows there’s a problem.”

His point of view was the same as that of Yue Zhan and Yi Nuo. The two nodded slightly.

Zong Ming didn’t see the problem. He just felt Hu Yicheng was looking for trouble.

Being within the acceptable range meant being qualified. How could there be so many problems? Weather changes would also cause fluctuations in the data, but as long as the deviation was within the normal range, it wouldn’t affect the use of mechas.

“This is due to the drivers’ state. The soldiers are tired after using the mechas for so long.” Zong Ming arbitrarily concluded and said, “This small deviation doesn’t mean anything at all.”

Hu Yichen wanted to say more, but Zong Min didn’t give him a chance and asked directly, “Or, did you find something wrong with the mecha?”

Hu Yichen’s lips moved, trying to say something, but in the end, he only mumbled, “No.”

He thought there was a problem, but he didn’t know where the problem was.

When Yi Nuo saw that his goal had been achieved, he suddenly turned to Yue Zhan and said, “I want Mr. Hu to be responsible for the next test.”

Since he had already confirmed Hu Yichen’s ability, there was no need to listen to Zong Ming again.

Hu Yichen opened his eyes slightly when he heard Yi Nuo’s words. His eyes were full of surprise and expectations, but he didn’t feel it was real. After hesitating for a moment, he secretly looked at Yi Nuo.

Yue Zhan: “…”

Zong Ming’s reaction was much greater. He couldn’t believe that the little prince would let an unknown technician replace him. Although he didn’t want to stay here to accompany the other party to fool around, he…

Why should he obey the little prince’s words? What qualifications did he have? This was the front-line, not a place where he, an unfavored prince, could have the final say.

But before Zong Ming could say anything, he listened to Yue Zhan’s faint voice, “Yes.”

Zong Ming: “…”

He thought it was ridiculous and wanted to argue.

Yue Zhan suddenly turned his head, looked at him expressionlessly, and said, “Didn’t chief engineer Zong say he was tired before? Then go back and rest.”

At that moment, Zong Ming had the illusion that Yue Zhan would make him rest forever.

Yi Nuo inserted a knife6 at this time. He said with a simple expression and sincere tone, “Yes, Mr. Zong. The mechas in question are all of the Z-series, which seem to be made by your family. It doesn’t seem very good for you to stay here…”

Yi Nuo: Didn’t you speak sarcastically before? I’m just paying you back, ah!

Zong Ming: “…” Why was he so peculiar about it!

He clenched his fists tightly and felt very embarrassed at the moment. He was the dignified chief technician of the technical department, but he was being humiliated by two rookies. Major General Yue also backed them; was he blind?

Gavin noticed Zong Ming was embarrassed, unexpectedly restrained himself, and persuaded him, “Engineer Zong, you should go back first. It will be a busy night…”

Although he complained that Zong Min was arrogant and difficult to communicate with, they didn’t have any personal grievances. And from his point of view, it was normal for talented people to have some level of arrogance.

Unfortunately, Zong Ming didn’t accept his kindness. After a moment of silence, he snorted and turned to leave.

Gavin: “…” The next time he wants to speak out of turn, he’ll slap himself.

Yi Nuo said quickly, “Well, let’s hurry up and continue testing.”

Yue Zhan stopped looking at Zong Ming’s leaving back, and his cold and indifferent expression eased. He nodded and ordered Gavin, “Let’s start.”

Zong Ming’s pace stopped for an instant. A moment later, he walked away even faster.

The mechas soon started to fight again, but the audience watching the battle weren’t in the mood to appreciate the soldiers’ moves.

After being appointed by Yi Nuo, Hu Yichen was excited and a little nervous, which made him become extremely serious when working.

He wanted to live up to the trust of His Royal Highness and find out the root of the problem as soon as possible.

However, after three more matches, they still had no clue.

The only progress gained was probably that the data fluctuation became more evident. Once, the value almost exceeded the acceptable range, which was very rare. Even Gavin could see the abnormality.

“Why don’t we try a few more matches?” This time it was Gavin who proposed it.

However, everyone was tired. It was impossible to keep going on like this. But when the mecha soldiers were called for questioning, they didn’t feel anything unusual when driving the mecha.

Yi Nuo was a little embarrassed. His intuition told him that what the book said was probably true. After all, even Hu Yichen had appeared. But…

“I’ll operate the mecha this time.” Yue Zhan suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned, but Gavin was happy.

Major General Yue will operate the mecha himself? God, how long had it been since he had last seen it?

However, the next second, Yue Zhan pointed at him and said, “Come and fight with me.”

Gavin suddenly looked like a wilted vegetable. He wanted to see Major General Yue bully others, but he didn’t want to be the one to be bullied.

But after thinking about it, it was indeed a rare opportunity to fight against Yue Zhan, and he suddenly became reinvigorated with fighting spirit.

Yi Nuo looked at the two curiously. He knew that Yue Zhan had no need to fight in person after becoming a major general, so it had been a long time since he drove a mecha. But he also knew—

[Even if he seldom operate them, Yue Zhan’s mecha wielding skills are still good]

When Yue Zhan walked down the stairs, he heard the little prince’s inner thoughts, and the corner of his lips couldn’t help but slightly raise upwards.

But the next second, Yi Nuo remembered another description in the book—

[Yue Zhan’s wielding driving skills are just as good as his bed skills]

Yue Zhan: “…”

He almost missed a step.

However, the words weren’t unruly this time. Not knowing if Yue Zhan was stimulated by Yi Nuo’s thoughts, the red mecha driven by him was full of fighting spirit. Yue Zhan’s actions were fierce and swift. Gavin could only defend and had no time to attack, which made him feel he was on the battlefield for a moment.

When Yue Zhan tested the mecha to its limit, the problem they had been looking for finally appeared before them.

At the last blow, Yue Zhan suddenly felt like the mecha was out of control for a short time, which might be less than 0.1 seconds. If it wasn’t because the blow didn’t achieve the desired effect, he would think it was an illusion.

If others failed to achieve the desired effect, they might think their strength was inadequate, but Yue Zhan wouldn’t. Even if he was full of fighting spirit, his mind was still calm and could calculate accurately. He believed in his own judgment.

At the same time, Yi Nuo also noticed the abnormality. He got up and said, “The mecha seemed to be out of control just now.”

“The value exceeds the error range.” Hu Yichen also said.

Gavin collapsed in the cockpit like a dead dog. Hearing what they said, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Did you find anything? Fortunately, fortunately… Otherwise, he would be tortured to death in one more minute of fighting, no, half a minute.

Yi Nuo: “Yes, but I’m not sure what the problem is.”

Hu Yichen: “Could it be the motherboard?”

Yue Zhan: “No, let’s try again to find out.”

Gavin: “…” Please forgive me.

*

Half an hour later, Gavin, who fought two more matches, almost crawled out of the cockpit.

Yue Zhan was already standing beside Yi Nuo, looking at the latest test data.

With a solemn expression, Yi Nuo said, “I doubt there’s a problem with the important components, but this situation is also very serious. Once it happens in battle, the consequences are… unimaginable.”

Yue Zhan nodded in agreement and ordered Hu Yichen, “Dismantle these two Z-series mechas and inspect them. Focus on checking the points of interest I just marked.”

Hu Yichen knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly led someone to do it.

After a busy night, everyone was tired, but they still didn’t go to rest. Everyone ate hastily and waited patiently for the inspection results.

Three hours later, Hu Yichen hurried to report.

He looked pale and said in a low voice, “It’s really not an important component; it’s a spiritual wire…”

Everyone’s heart sank after hearing his words.

In contrast with the main control board and energy core, a spiritual wire wasn’t particularly important. There were many spiritual wires distributed throughout the mecha, which helped the driver connect his mental power to the mecha.

“We have checked. The spiritual wire already had a problem when it left the factory. The manufacturer should also know about it and deliberately cover it. If something goes wrong, the impact won’t be great. Only when it causes a chain reaction will it cause the mecha to go out of control.”

“However, the probability is only 0.1%. Out of 100,000 mechas, at most 100 will be completely out of control. It’s very expensive to change all the wires, but a war will be fought…”

Hu Yichen didn’t say the following words, but Yi Nuo and Yue Zhan could guess.

It was normal for hundreds or thousands of mecha to be damaged during a war, so the manufacturer chose not to change the wire.

However, Yi Nuo felt that things were not so simple. If only a few hundred mechas went wrong, the Empire wouldn’t be defeated so miserably.

“Go and check again. Is there a special way to stimulate this condition in the mecha? Also, check all the Z-series mechas.” Yi Nuo said to Hu Yichen.

Yue Zhan’s eyes darkened. He turned to Gavin and said, “Go to the technical department to inform Zong Min that his duties are suspended and he is not allowed to go out. All his work will be handed over to others.”

Although Zong Ming might now know about it, he was from the Zong family after all. And the Z-series mechas… were all developed and manufactured by the Zong family.

Yi Nuo agreed and suggested, “I think Hu Yichen can take Zong Ming’s position.”

After hearing his words, Yue Zhan looked at him strangely and didn’t answer for a moment.

Yi Nuo: “?”

[What? Do you think my suggestion is bad? Hu Yichen may be a future mecha manufacturing master! If you don’t want him, I’ll dig him out myself]

Yue Zhan: “…”
