Chapter 2: Two Brothers and Sisters in the Slums
"Brother!"
When Bai Ze was disappointed and angry, a twelve-year-old girl wearing a somewhat ill-fitting coarse cloth garment stained with oil ran over and threw herself into Bai Ze's arms. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The girl is Bai Ze's sister, Bai Li. She was dressed in very simple clothes, and her hair was cut short like a boy to facilitate the repair and assembly of mechas, and her thin body seemed to be a little malnourished, which made her look a little tomboy.
"Ah, it's Xiaoli...... I didn't expect it to fail again this time, I answered that I would use the bonus to buy you new clothes, but I still broke my promise, I'm really sorry......" Bai Ze immediately sorted out his mood and smiled in front of the girl as much as possible.
"It's okay," Bai Li shook his head and said, "It was just an accident, brother, your strength, Bai Li knows best!" ”
"Haha, is it......" Bai Ze smiled awkwardly, and then said, "But I still lost......"
"Brother, it's okay...... Bai Li said with a smile, "Brother, you are only fourteen years old, and Bai Li is only twelve years old...... We're already the best among our peers! And isn't there a saying that 'failure is success'? As long as we continue to work hard, we will definitely succeed! ”
"Haha, that's ......" As if infected by his sister Bai Li's smile, Bai Ze's somewhat annoyed mood also improved.
Because Bai Ze also knew that the Crazy Dragon was the first mecha made by himself and Bai Li together, and it was all scrap parts from the scrap recycling station, and it was quite good to be able to reach this level. Although after several rounds of fighting, the power core eventually became overloaded and had a bit of problems, but it was not completely without gains.
Because when Bai Ze was driving the Dragon to fight, Bai Li recorded the various problems exposed by the Dragon in the battle, and then the brother and sister would discuss and study together, and improve the problems found one by one, and finally achieve the purpose of improving the ability of the "Crazy Dragon".
Several times before, Bai Ze and Bai Li improved the Crazy Dragon in this way, and each time they made the Crazy Dragon's physical ability have been greatly improved, from the initial first round to the semi-finals, it can be said that there has been quite a good progress.
At the same time, in the process of making the "Crazy Dragon", the mecha mechanical skills of the two of them have gradually improved in practice, not to mention comparing with their peers in the town, even compared with the masters of some mecha repair shops, Bai Ze and Bai Li are also quite confident in their skills.
"Next time, we will definitely do better than now!" With the encouragement of his sister Bai Li, Bai Ze finally completely put his previous frustration behind him and regained his fighting spirit......
Two hours later, Bai Ze and Bai Li finally returned home with the malfunctioning "Crazy Dragon" mecha, although the hired tow truck to drag the Crazy Dragon back had exhausted the last little savings in the pockets of the two siblings, but when they returned home, the two were still relieved.
However, although it is said to be home, it is actually a simple room cut out of waste shipping containers next to the scrap recycling station, and here, Bai Ze and Bai Li have been living here for four years. When he moved here the first year, Bai Ze was only ten years old, and his sister Bai Li was only eight years old, and in this way, with amazing perseverance, the brother and sister miraculously survived in this place.
"Xiaoli, have you found the cause of the failure?" Looking at Bai Li, who climbed down from the body, Bai Ze asked with concern.
"Well, I've found it......" Although there were still some traces of engine oil on his face, Bai Li said happily, "The cooling fan in the power part was broken, and the engine overheated and burned after strenuous exercise......
"Ah...... Is that really the case...... The quality of the waste products is really not very reliable......" Bai Ze said with some regret as if he had expected it a long time ago.
"But it's okay...... If it's just a fan problem...... Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "We can add one more fan to dissipate heat, anyway, if we add one more fan, it won't have much volume, and the energy consumption is not large, and the body should still be affordable......"
"That's right......" Bai Ze also nodded in agreement.
After all, the engine of the "Crazy Dragon" is transformed from an old engine, and compared with the new engine, the power is naturally a little insufficient, so the use of the power of the engine by the brother and sister is also carefully calculated to ensure that the engine can play the maximum effect, and will not easily exceed the load.
"At the end of the day, we underestimated the heat of the engine, as for the repair of the burned engine...... Anyway, we still have spare parts, right? At this time, Bai Ze asked again.
"What about the ......," Bai Li continued, "the spare parts have been removed from the other scrap mechs, and it is enough to replace them...... Take your time, and the activation should still be repaired...... After all, it was only some less important lines that were burned......"
"That's great...... Any other questions? ”
"Well, the balance of the mechs could be further optimized...... Solve the problem of insufficient stability of the body under some special actions......"
"What else?"
"In addition, there are armor other than the cockpit that can be slightly reduced, according to Bai Li's statistics, brother, you have almost never been hit by the opponent's mecha except for the last. Therefore, Bai Li believes that in the case of insufficient power, we can increase the flexibility of the mecha by reducing the weight of the mecha...... Make further use of your strengths, brother......"
"It's also true that sometimes offense is the best defense...... Dodging is more important than direct hard resistance, anyway, those guys can't touch me, and I don't need to hide behind such thick armor......" Bai Ze also agreed with Bai Li's proposal, but as soon as the conversation changed, Bai Ze said to his sister Bai Li, "It's better to simply reduce the armor of the cockpit, I am confident that I will not be hit by the other party......"
However, before Bai Ze's words were finished, Bai Li resolutely interrupted Bai Ze's words: "Absolutely not! The mecha can be broken, if it is broken, it will be good to repair it, brother, you must not have an accident! ”
"What do you say, with the strength of those people, they can't touch me at all, so they only have a chance to fight back when the dragon fails, and after reducing the weight, the mecha will become more flexible......"
"No just no way!" Bai Li's words were unusually resolute, "Brother, if you have an accident, what should Bai Li do?" ”
For a moment, Bai Ze felt as if his heart had been stabbed by something.
"Okay, I know, then let's lighten the armor in other parts and continue to keep the armor in the cockpit......" After speaking, Bai Ze touched his sister Bai Li's head, and then continued, "Don't worry, my brother will always be with your ......"
"Hmm!" Bai Li also responded with a smile.
