From a very young age, Wei Fangcun understood that he was an outlier in the family.

When was this very young? When he thought back to the past, he did the math, and it was about two and a half years old.

Before the advent of mechas, the First Wei family was once just a declining military family. When there were no generals in the family who were too high-ranking and could not receive any attention from the Military Commission, and they couldn't even stay in the third sequence, the Jiudaoguan Company found the Wei family.

At that time, the Jiudaoguan Company did not have an official name, and the entire research institute affiliated with the empire was called "The Seventh Group of High-end Research and Development of Armed Equipment of the Three Thousand Empires", referred to as the "Seventh Group of National Martial Arts".

At that time, the Seventh Group of Guowu was still a research and development institution that was hidden by the empire, and Xu Fengxing, the founder of Jiudaoguan, and Xu Fengxing, the founder of the Nine Provinces, and the three thousand empires each accounted for half of the assets. At first, he was mainly responsible for the research of cutting-edge weapons and vehicle armor used by the Imperial military.

With the support of the cutting-edge talents and resources of the Three Thousand Empire, the Seven Groups of National Martial Arts quickly passed the trial production stage and became a production base for the Three Thousand Empire to develop high-level weapons and equipment. At the same time, the empire also took advantage of the rise of the Seven Groups of National Warriors to contain the weapons manufacturers controlled by the gate lords and the family.

It can be said that the main purpose of the establishment and secret development of the Seven National Military Groups is the first step for the Three Thousand Empire to take the initiative in the military field, crack down on illegal arms trafficking, and ban illegal manufacturers. Of course, whether these producers and dealers are breaking the law or not is not a matter of the Empire's word.

After all the arms production and trafficking that had a negative impact on the empire were cracked down, the Seven Groups of National Martial Arts became the weapons production site with the highest technology content and the widest production range in the Three Thousand Empires.

As the founder and person in charge of the Seven Groups of National Martial Arts, Xu Fengxing was not satisfied with the status quo. He deeply knew that if he blindly relied on the support of the empire, then the seven groups of national martial arts could only be a substitute forever, and when the next substitute appeared, the seven groups of national martial arts would be abandoned by the empire without hesitation.

The confidence of the seven groups of national martial arts comes from the empire, the resources come from the empire, and even a considerable part of the members come from the empire's assignment. Then maybe the empire will not be happy that day, and after the establishment of the eighth and ninth groups, the seventh group of national martial arts will be called the sinking sand in the long river of history.

Xu Fengxing understands that only by mastering his own technology, capital and talents can he turn the Seventh Group of the National Armed Forces into the most cutting-edge weapons R&D and production center in the country in his mind, so that even if the empire is afraid and dissatisfied with the Seven Groups of the National Martial Forces, he will not dare to act rashly.

To turn the Seventh Group of the National Armed Forces into such an organization, first of all, we should start from mastering technology.

Mastering technology requires three elements: independent research and development, patent protection, and a large number of people.

As a result, Xu Fengxing found the Wei family, a military family that was almost about to slide from the bank of the third sequence family into the turbulent waves, and also found many families that were left behind in the ranking of the last ones, and these people together formed the initial team of the Jiudaoguan Company.

And these families, as the existence of the bottom of the third sequence, for the survival of the family and the future of their descendants, of course, they did not hesitate to grasp such a life-saving straw, and relied on this straw to escape the fate of being washed away by the long river of history.

Relying on these initial people, Xu Fengxing opened up a new situation in the seven groups of national martial arts, and he began to carry out new research and development of military weapons and equipment in all directions.

There is no doubt that Xu Fengxing is a talent. Relying on his twenties, he just pulled up a team of his own, and turned many high-tech research results in the seven groups of national martial arts into his own. Then, using the results of these studies, he designed a theoretical model of the Empire's first mech.

This is an epoch-making sign.

All the people of Jiudaoguan, including the descendants of the Xu family, including the researchers of Jiudaoguan, including those who wanted to be related to Jiudaoguan by the Three Thousand Empire, all believed that the day when Xu Xian's theoretical model was completed was the day when the Jiudaoguan Company was established.

And not the day this company actually goes public.

Relying on the results of the theoretical model, Xu Fengxing applied for more funds from the empire, and used these funds for the research and development and production of civilian protective devices. It is constantly relying on this mode of production to expand its influence among the people.

In the end, Xu Fengxing completely controlled most of the capital and important scientific research achievements within the Guowu Seventh Group, and Jiudaoguan Company was separated from the Guowu Seventh Group and officially established.

The empire was helpless about this, and the eight groups of national martial arts came into being.

Since then, the Seven Groups of Guowu have completely become the history of the empire, and the emerging thing that appears in front of people is Xu Fengxing's Jiudaoguan Company.

Taking civilian protection devices as an important part of infrastructure construction is Xu Fengxing's second move. After years of hard work, Xu Fengxing finally developed and perfected the technology of civilian protective devices, which were so useful for the daily protection of ordinary people that the empire took the initiative to use them as one of the contents of infrastructure construction.

In the end, with the joint support of the country and the people, under these years of technological innovation and theoretical accumulation, Jiudaoguan Company finally produced the first truly formed pilot-type mecha in the empire according to Xu Fengxing's theoretical model.

When the image of the mecha walking out of the warehouse was transmitted to every corner of the empire through the national news; When the Empire officially announced the Mecha as one of the Empire's strategic development goals; When Xu Fengxing told everyone that aliens and cultivators could no longer act recklessly in the cities of ordinary people.

The whole empire of three thousand was boiling.

There is no doubt that the emergence of mecha has completely changed the status quo of human beings relying on absolute unity and reproduction to resist any race, making the possibility of ordinary people relying on science and technology to fight against natural abilities become a reality.

The shock caused by this event was no less than the excitement brought to the people when the Three Thousand Emperors announced the establishment of the empire.

From this moment on, the Jiudaoguan Company has completely become the spokesperson of mankind and has become synonymous with the highest force of the Three Thousand Empire. The Three Thousand Empire also transferred a large amount of R&D funds and cutting-edge technology to Jiudaoguan Company half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

The Nine Passes did not disappoint everyone, after the trial operation and research and analysis of the first mecha, they put forward the theoretical questions of "Mecha Nine Gates", and put forward a phased plan for the development of the mecha in response to these problems.

A year later, Jiudaoguan produced the first batch of practical mechas, which were mainly used for the coordination of large-scale construction sites, and through the results of civilian use, further acting and planning of the mechas.

Four years later, Jiudaoguan completed the first five-year* plan for mecha research and development, and produced a military mecha that could truly be used on the battlefield.

The total number of mecha produced in this batch is about 100 units, of which 50 units are used as supplies for the army, and the remaining 50 units are used as prototypes for the retention research of Jiudaoguan and the research of all parties.

The first batch of military mecha was secretly transported to the rear of an alien battlefield on the border of the empire, and through the emergency training of mecha pilots, they drove fifty mechas, and destroyed an entire large alien tribe overnight, completely clearing the security of one side's border.

When the good news came, the whole country shook.

The mechs who returned from the border, the pilots of the scarred mechas, appeared in front of all the people. And in this historic event, the two people who walked at the forefront of the mecha formation, one of whom was a member of the Third Wei family at that time.

He is also the founder of the first Wei family.

Relying on the talent and skill of mecha piloting, the Wei family quickly climbed from a third-order military family to the level of the first order, becoming one of the first mecha families in the empire.

After hundreds of years of development, Jiudaoguan has been completely called one of the pillar industries of the 3,000 empire that Xu Fengxing originally envisioned, and the mecha has also become a powerful weapon for the empire to deter the primeval races and truly ensure the safety of the human race.

The First Wei Family, through the accumulation and development of these years, has also gained a firm foothold and is firmly seated in the position of the first sequence of the Three Thousand Empires.

And their reliance is the gene of driving mecha flowing in the blood of the family.

The people of the first Wei family, who are born with the meridians required by mecha pilots, account for almost eighty percent, which is almost the highest probability of having mecha bloodline among the families in the country. And those who are not gifted by the family are responsible for the daily affairs of the family.

Of course, probabilities are only probabilities after all. In the process of development of each family, there will always be one or two outliers.

For example, Wei Fangyuan, and Wei Fangcun.

In the generation of the First Wei family at that time, a newborn was first born who was identified as having extremely high cultivation talent. At that time, although the Wei family was a first-order family, most of the cultivators enshrined were people who were not talented enough, who could not move forward at the end of their age, and who had no hope of the realm of grandmasters in this life.

Now, the first Wei family can finally have their own great cultivator, and the qualifications are still so high, the head of the family is very happy, personally gave the newborn a name, according to the ancient understanding of the relationship between heaven and earth at the time of the opening of the world, "the sky is round and the place is round", named him, Wei Fangyuan.

And Wei Fangyuan also lived up to expectations, practicing at the age of five, starting at the age of ten, and being a young master at the age of nineteen, returning from traveling, he got the inheritance of the ancient power, and became a great cultivator in the master realm at the age of twenty-five.

Just when everyone was paying attention to Wei Fangyuan, a bean-like son of the Wei family was born in one of the side of the family.

There were no congratulatory crowds, no gifts, no high-grade nutrient solutions, and no special physical tests. He lay quietly in his mother's arms, opened his eyes, and saw for the first time the world in which he was going to live in the future, so strange and so fascinating.

Premature birth due to the mother's physical weakness and malnutrition makes the newborn child look thin and shriveled, not at all like a normal baby, but like a dog that has just crawled out. When his father saw him, his mother was distressed.

Because he grew very small, with the expectations of the whole family, his father named him, Wei Fangcun.

Wei Fangcun's birth did not have any impact on the first Wei family. A newborn born from a separate family was born, underwent a preliminary simple culture, and then sent to the Wei family's infirmary for physical examination and vaccine planting with the babies of the same period.

The result he got made his father disappointed as a matter of course, Wei Fangcun was really like himself, and he had no talent for piloting a mecha at all.

The father, who knew that the family was snobbish, did not take this matter too seriously, all he hoped was that his children could thrive and live their lives happily. By the way, make some contributions to the Wei family within your ability, and finally spend your old age in peace, which is enough.

However, since when did I, Wei Fangcun, feel that I am different from others?

He counted as he thought about the past.

Probably two and a half years old, right?
