Chapter 1 NEW! Target! Open! Begin!

On the first Bronze Day of the Trigger Month in the year 594 of the Engineering Calendar, today is the grand festival of Nomerrigan, where numerous societies and universities hold awards and ceremonies for outstanding and emerging talents in various disciplines.

In the town hall of the Craftsman's Council of Nomorigan, ten gnomes sat on a round platform in the middle of the chamber, slightly raised above the ground, discussing something.

Every time they start speaking through the loudspeakers, the ring stands, which are crowded with ordinary citizens, immediately complete the transition from noisy to quiet.

"What the hell is that thing called a submarine for?" A dwarf citizen muttered.

"That's a great idea, if it really doesn't sink." Uncle Anvil, huddled in the middle of a pile of gnomes, chimed in, "We can use it to explore the ruins of the seabed. ”

"What is the sea?" A dwarf toddler less than forty centimeters tall asked curiously.

"Uh...... It's just a place with lots and lots of water. "Uncle Anvil couldn't remember how to describe the ocean for a moment.

"Shhhh The great craftsman is going to speak, be quiet! Be quiet! The citizens of Nomorigen were clearly fond of their own craftsmen, and the surrounding stands immediately fell silent.

"Mr. Verne, your ideas and drawings have passed our evaluation, and the Council of Craftsmen has decided to award you the title of Great Engineer, and I hope that you will continue to contribute your wonderful imagination to Nomerign in the future." After saying that, the master craftsman handed the microphone to Philis Cog, a member of the Craftsmen's Council, and personally handed Verne the badge of honor of Grand Engineer Nomorigen to Verne.

Verne, on the other hand, muttered, "Damn I'm a writer, isn't this a science fiction awards ceremony?" ”

"This is the Great Engineer Honor Conference." The staff explained, then directing Verne to the vacant seats on the side......

"I'll see, haha, the next one is my student." Principal Gear covered the microphone and smiled at the other councillors, then raised the microphone and said.

"Next, Gerbin Mekatok."

As soon as he finished speaking, young Gerbin rode into the hall on a strange-looking mechanical bird.

"This time it's in kind!" The citizens in the stands cheered, preferring the tangible invention to the design concept.

"Please state your invention, Gerbin." Principal Gear said proudly.

After taking the microphone handed over by the staff and apologizing for not being able to come down, Gerbin said into the microphone.

"This is my graduation project, and I call it a mechanical chocobo."

Gerbin said as he maneuvered the mechanical chocobo in a circle.

"Its theoretical speed is comparable to that of the Balaktor goats of our friends at Ironforge Castle, with a maximum weight of 20 kilograms, and it is steam-powered." Gerbin boosted the speed of the mechanical bird and sprinted for a distance, then slowed it down later.

"My original intention for making the mechanical chocobo was to give us a mount to ride on, so we could travel with our tall friends."

......

"What do you think?" The master craftsman asked the councillors around him for their opinions.

After reading the detailed instructions sent in advance, one of the councillors said, "The maximum speed is not fast, it can barely keep up with the ordinary Balaktor goat, and it is far from the speed of the elite goat, but it is enough for travel, pass." ”

"It's very complicated to operate, I'm afraid it takes a lot of training to use it, and the sensitivity is also very poor. Okay okay, don't stare at me Phyllis, of course I know it's limited by the kids' immature technology, pass. One lawmaker said helplessly.

"Humph!" Principal Phyllis Gear seems to be very protective, "Pass, no reason. ”

"As long as there is a shining point, as long as it can be improved, this is a good invention, I believe that with the maturity of technology, he will make a perfect work in the future, I voted for it." A fourth MP said.

"I prefer these practical things to those unrealistic fantasies, pass." This is a pragmatic MP.

"Small steam engine! You didn't even notice the improvement of this genius, stupid guys, pass! A group of lawmakers scoffed.

"It's designed for us, it's a good starting point, pass."

"Seven votes passed? Pass. "The councillor from the Nomorigen Security Department continues to mingle.

It was the turn of the ninth legislator to vote, and Grix Wrench, the president of Wrench University, the arch-enemy of Gear University, said

"No! There is no reason. ”

Gearhead said angrily, "Bastard, are you going to plant a flag at the door?" ”

"It's for you, besides, I'm a pacifist and don't use violence." The Wrench Principal scoffed.

Seeing that the Principal Gear was about to pull out the duel flag and stage a council battle in front of the general public, the master craftsman spoke.

"I voted for it. Phyllis, put away your dueling flag, for whatever reason, everyone has the right to make their own point of view. ”

"Nine votes passed and one vote was vetoed, and the final result was passed." said the parliamentarian who acted as the secretary.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gerbin, for your lovely invention passed our vote and you are now awarded the title of Great Engineer. In addition, if you are interested, you can visit the Craftsman's Council. The master craftsman picked up the microphone and announced to the audience.

Immediately there was a huge cheer in the stands, and the young man who was loved by the people and recognized by the master craftsman was also the pride of Nomorigan.

Gerbin, who received the Great Engineer's Badge of Honor from the Great Craftsman, smirked and followed the staff to the side seats......

"Hahaha, idiot, idiot." Principal Gear jumps onto the conference table and taunts Principal Wrench, who begins to spit on Principal Gear.

"Please don't take off your pants Felise, and Glix, your saliva is squirting too far." The master craftsman once again reminded the two parliamentarians to pay attention to the image.

"Here's the next graduate's work manual." The staff ran up and handed out the relevant materials.

"Well, Loria? Don't have a surname? One lawmaker was surprised.

"It's a senior in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Gear University, and he's a tall man, oh, they call themselves human." The staff explained through the information.

Since the dwarves built the road from Rockmodan to the wetlands two years ago, the relationship between humans and Ironforge has become closer, and the gnomes who frequent Ironforge are no longer strangers to humans, and occasionally humans come to Nomorigen to travel.

Hearing Loria's name, Principal Phyllis Cogwheel's insolent smile froze on his face, and then began to distort.

Glax Wrench keenly noticed the look on Principal Coggy's face, and he was excited! This is a great opportunity!

As soon as he picked up the idle microphone on the table, Glax Wrench shouted with all his strength.

"Down! One! Bit! Loria, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Gear University, Phyllis Coggy's apprentice! cough cough cough ......"

Felice Gear looked at Glix with a complicated expression, he was not in the mood to raise the bar with Glix now.

Loria, the figure who has given him a huge headache for the past four years, pays more attention to her than even the genius of the same class, Gerbin.

On the eve of graduation last month, she even blew up a corner of the incomparably sturdy main school building, and afterwards she continued to look innocent and innocent...... At this moment, Phyllis can only pray to the light of science that nothing will go wrong in this last moment.

Just as the citizens in the audience quieted down and focused their attention on the entrance, a roar of a motor was heard, and then a four-wheeled vehicle with a very low chassis slowly drove in.

Unlike the bulky body and heavy armor of traditional Nomorigen construction vehicles, this low-profile vehicle is painted red all over, with reflective paint, a streamlined thin body, and a smoke-spewing exhaust pipe at the rear that gives it a 'it's fast' feel.

The front of the car is painted with a huge gear with two wrenches crossed over it. The fly in the ointment is that there is a machine gun in front of the passenger seat, and two rows of four metal barrels are fixed in the tail part, which feels a little redundant.

While the gnomes were still stunned, the male dwarf audience burst into flames, dancing excitedly with their thick arms and cheering loudly.

After hearing the cheers from the audience, the little human girl driving this strange machine stood up with one hand on the steering wheel.

Her long pink hair was tied into two long double ponytails, gear-shaped hair accessories were worn on both sides, and the engineering goggles that covered her eyes glowed green.

Dressed in an engineering style, Loria waved to the spectators in the Ring Stand, an act of goodwill that immediately detonated the venue, and a huge cheer resounded through the hall of the Municipal Council.

"Well done! Research Institute No. 005 Loria! See, see? That's my latest goggles, the left lens has a thermal imaging function, and the right lens can automatically lock on to the target, and can also magnify the field of view, which can reach the maximum magnification of a medical microscope! The nose bridge of the goggles is also equipped with a miniature emergency searchlight! The steel wheels in the stands grabbed the collar of the barrel and enthusiastically introduced their products.

Chris slammed hard on the top of the steel wheel and said loudly, "Shut up, look good." ”

I always feel a little handsome.

In the space of four years, Loria has matured a lot...... Although it still hasn't grown taller. The little girl who knew little about engineering at the beginning, and who followed her and the steel wheel to ask this and that question, was already able to make such a complex machine on her own, and sighed in her heart that the years were fleeting, and Chris caressed her cheek.
