In the fifth month after returning to Snowflake, the prototype of the Phantom mecha returned to the No. 2 R&D Laboratory of the Second Research Institute of Snowflake's headquarters.

Seeing his long-lost old friend, Fang Shi was slightly excited in his heart, the military evaluation of the phantom mecha was very smooth, and it was highly praised by the military professional team. The military has already started to produce the Mirage 001 mecha, and the first batch has been customized with 300 units at once. Three hundred units is not a small number for the mecha that has just been developed, which shows that the military does have high hopes for the Phantom mecha, and the so-called Phantom 001 mecha is a mecha built according to the prototype template of the Phantom mecha, that is, the first generation of the Phantom mecha.

In addition, whether the Phantom mecha can be defined as the seventh generation mecha of the empire, the military still adopts an extremely conservative attitude, only defining it as a quasi-seventh-generation mecha, and whether it can really become the seventh generation mecha of the empire in the end depends on the actual performance of the phantom mecha on the battlefield, and it is only possible if the military's expected battlefield goals are achieved.

The Phantom Mecha was relocated to the center of the hall on the first floor of the No. 2 R&D Laboratory, while Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu and other members of the second team quickly plunged into the work of the Phantom Mecha. In the past few months, they have focused on the shortcomings and defects shown in the actual test of the Phantom Mecha, and they have designed a variety of improvement plans for some of the flaws and deficiencies, and which solution is most suitable needs to be compared by their practice, which is also an important direction for the Lower Second Group to conduct intensive research on the Phantom Mecha. In the process of these R&D and design, Huang Shujian, a teacher who is far away in S1 Xingluoxing, has also made a lot of efforts. Although the old man has retired, he still can't seem to let go of the phantom mecha, for the flaws and deficiencies shown in the actual test of the phantom mecha, he still put forward a lot of opinions, and every once in a while, he will have a video meeting with several people in the second group, on the one hand, to understand the work process and problems of Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu and others, on the other hand, to provide some opinions and help for the second group. I have to say that the old man's years of rich experience in mecha design have provided a lot of support to the second team, although the old man is no longer in the No. 2 R&D laboratory, Fang Shi feels that his figure is still in the mecha laboratory that he has devoted his years of hard work to.

A year later. Snowflake Company launched the Mirage 002 mecha. It is an enhanced version of the Mirage 001 model, and many of its combat performance have been further upgraded. The Phantom 002 mech does not undergo complicated practical testing, after all, most of it is based on the Phantom 001 mech, and only a few simple tests on the enhanced parts are required. A secret military base in the central sector is an easy one.

After completing the development of the Mirage 002 mech. The second group after a short break. It continues to invest in a new round of research and development. The design research of mecha is like a road with no end to it, and with the emergence of various new technologies that are constantly being developed, mecha must also keep pace with the times and absorb some new technologies that may be related to mecha into the design. The goal of Fang Shi's second group is to make the Phantom Mecha more powerful and more suitable for the needs of modern warfare.

Time passed day after day, and the work in R&D Lab 2 continued.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed in a flash.

In the past two years, Fang Shi's work in the Snow Company has been relatively easy and pleasant, except for the occasional overtime and busyness, his spare time is still very rich, basically forty hours of work time a week, and the rest of the time is at his disposal, and these free time except for the occasional relaxation and entertainment, he basically spends on study and training.

Learning is mainly in mecha learning, just a few months ago, he has successfully passed the assessment of intermediate mecha designer, and is already an intermediate mecha designer in Snowflake. After being promoted to an intermediate mecha designer, his worth has grown a lot, of course, mainly about his treatment in all aspects, on the whole, it has increased by more than half compared to two years ago, at least in terms of life, he doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.

In addition, in addition to obtaining intermediate designers, Fang Shi also put a lot of effort into mecha machine repair. As a mecha designer, he is naturally very familiar with mechas, and he is already very familiar with the maintenance of mechas, plus he showed a very strong interest in K3 Mine Star in the Western Region, and has also mastered rich practical experience in maintenance. Now he is already a senior mechanic, but he is still a certain distance from a special mechanic like the fourth senior sister Xiao Lingyun, but he believes that with the accumulation of time, he is still very likely to reach the level of a special mechanic.

The training is mainly in terms of machine control strength, and two years ago, Shi has already made up his mind to remind him to improve his machine control level, after all, to become an excellent mecha designer, his own machine control strength is also essential. In this way, the combat capability of the mecha can be considered more comprehensively in the research and development design, and many times the mecha design inspiration comes from the whim of the machine control. Due to the relatively sufficient free time in the past two years, if there are no special circumstances, he arranges two or three hours a day for machine control training, and he invests more time on vacation days.

In the long-term training of insisting on not being lazy, his progress can definitely be called rapid, and now he has broken through the challenge of the 2S rank and reached the level of a seven-star pilot, which can be regarded as a high-level pilot, and is challenging towards the 3S rank. The challenge of breaking through the three ranks of 5A, 1S and 2S in two years, from the level of a four-star pilot to the level of a seven-star pilot, is definitely comparable to those genius pilots, but Fang Shi Zhilu said that his talent is still a lot of distance from those real geniuses, and the reason why he can make such a huge progress is largely due to Nana's strong ability.

In a sense, Nana is actually Fangshi's mecha mentor, and she is not an ordinary mecha instructor, but a super powerful mecha mentor, with powerful data analysis and near-perfect guidance, as long as you have a little bit of mecha strength, you may also get great progress. With the strength of a seven-star pilot, although he has not been able to defeat his senior sister Ye Zhiqiu, at least now he will no longer be abused as before.

In the past two years, in addition to Fang Shi's own improvement, there are actually many other things that have happened around him. During the period, he saw the little girl again, the little girl is already a slim and beautiful little girl, no longer mushroom-shaped short hair, but a long black hair, less eccentric, more ladylike, is gradually transforming from a little girl to a girl, but she still seems to be very playful, the unique modified game console he gave is said to have been repaired several times, obviously she usually fiddles with it.

Bai Fei, who was stationed in the Snow Flower Company, was transferred to the Eastern Region a year ago, and it is gratifying that he has been promoted to lieutenant colonel. After Fang Shi came back from the Wolf Tooth Star, Bai Fei learned that Fang Shi was already a colonel, and he was quite unconvinced, because he was only a major, and Fang Shi not only climbed on top of him in just a few months, but this guy didn't know where to open his mind and actually knew how to use his military rank to suppress him, which made him absolutely very aggrieved, of course, the two were just joking, teasing each other. Before Bai Fei left, Fang Shi invited him to a big meal quite formally, which was not only a farewell, but also a return. There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, but it is a pity that Fangshi is not strong enough to drink, and a few simple glasses are the most popular and other wines. In Fang Shi's eyes, Bai Fei is a very good friend, and he is still slightly sad about the other party's departure, at least there will be one less object of "fighting" in the future, and there will be one less object of rubbing food.

Hua Jiangyu and Ah Kuan and several other members of the ruffian team graduated after completing their studies at Qinyuan Academy, and they also left Xuehua City one after another, and before parting, they made a rather magnificent and grand parting banquet, which couldn't help but make Fang Shi feel a little emotional.

Fang Shi didn't feel much sadness, at least he felt that his life was still slowly moving in the direction of full of sunshine, and everything was still in good shape. After saving enough money, he has a real home in Snowflake City, although it is just an ordinary apartment, but it is a real home that belongs to him.

Fang Shi and An Xu moved into a new home, although it doesn't look as comfortable as Senior Sister Ye Zhiqiu's villa, but on a mental level, the two still prefer their own apartment, because this is the real home.

Fang Shi is still extremely satisfied with the current situation of Snowflake City, although it cannot be compared with the luxurious life of those wealthy families, but he prefers a plain and quiet life, his ability is enough to support his and his sister's home, and can also provide a healthy and comfortable living environment for his sister Ansu. In addition, after more than a year of online courses, Ansu can barely keep up with the pace of her peers, Fang Shi has arranged for her to enter the school to study, and for more than a year, Ansu's performance in school is very good, and she seems quite independent, which makes him feel a lot more relieved.

Life is slowly developing in an ideal direction, and everything that comes from the current situation of Snowflake Company five years ago came from the great turnaround of Snowflake. From a teenager in a remote and almost abandoned mine in the Western Region to a mid-level mecha designer of Snowflake Company now, he is most grateful to the old man in S1, all he has to do is to try his best to inherit the old man's mecha business, although he can't guarantee that he will make any amazing achievements, but he will do his best to do it.
