VCRMM: Chapter 410

It had been more than two years, almost three years, since he came to the Roland Empire. He had finally successfully developed and produced a mecha that was completely produced by Roland. Dr Ding was happier than anyone else.

The first person he wanted to share this joy with was Val Roland.

So at this point in time, he took the liberty of calling her communicator.

Without any delay, Val set off for the Imperial Research Institute.

At around eleven or twelve o’clock at night, the institute was still brightly lit. Researchers from various projects were working all night long.

As Val was led to the third underground floor, she saw a silver and purple mecha standing quietly in the open space. A man wearing a black shirt and white coat was standing nearby, looking up at the mecha.

He looked so small in front of the mecha, but in Val’s eyes, he was much more dazzling than the mecha.

Dr Ding noticed something and looked over. He couldn’t help smiling when he saw that Val had come, his eyes filled with tenderness and joy.

The staff member around him greeted Val before tactfully leaving. He left this place to them.

“Your Highness Val, you are here.”

Dr Ding waited for Val to come over before happily pointing out the mecha to her. “How is it? Isn’t it beautiful?”

“We combined the new technology provided by His Majesty with Roland’s magical inscriptions. It possesses exceptional firepower as well as exceptional defensive capabilities. Its speed is unmatched…”

Dr Ding took Val’s hand and enthusiastically explained to her the functions, structure and characteristics of the mecha. It was as if he couldn’t finish talking for three days and nights.

Val didn’t interrupt and listened to him carefully.

One of them talked while the other listened. It was just like 30 or 40 years ago when she first arrived in the universe and knew nothing, so Ding Mingyu patiently taught her.

It was just like the 10 years she was in a coma, when the man kept talking to her every day about research content that she couldn’t understand.

When she was young, she would feel very bored. Now listening to Ding Mingyu sharing his joy with her like a child, she felt an inexplicable sense of security and warmth.

During those ten years of despair and darkness, it was Ding Mingyu who gave her the courage and faith to persevere. It was also he who risked his own life trying to bring her back to Roland. After being kidnapped, he dragged his old and fragile body to fight against the star thieves.

In fact, Val had already placed him deep in her heart and didn’t mind his aging. However, she understood his answer when she heard him call her Your Highness Val.

Val didn’t want to force him. What’s more, she had more important things to accomplish than love.

However, when traveling in the universe, she couldn’t help secretly paying attention to him through Xiao Wu. She couldn’t help feeling relieved after knowing he had awakened his elemental talent.

She was willing to wait for him until he untied his knot and came to her voluntarily.

Finally, after Dr Ding Mingyu finished his explanation, he was forced to stop due to a dry mouth.

Val took a bottle of water from the space capsule and handed it to him in a considerate manner.

“Thanks!”

After Dr Ding took a sip of the water, he realized belatedly that he seemed to have talked informally just now.

He raised his hand and scratched his hair, looking a bit embarrassed. “Do you want to take a test drive?”

Val looked at the silver-purple mecha in front of her and asked, “Is it okay?”

“Yes, this was originally made for you.” Dr Ding lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, “You are its owner. His Majesty agreed.”

Val blinked with a bit of surprise. However, the shape of this mecha did suit her aesthetic.

“Did you give it to me?” She asked.

Dr Ding quickly shook his head. “It belongs to the Roland Empire. I’m just one of the designers and manufacturers.”

Val glanced at him without expressing an opinion. She just nodded and agreed to the test drive.

Mecha testing was a very important link.

Val hadn’t driven a mecha for many years, but this didn’t pose a problem for her.

In the current interstellar world, mecha control systems were mainly divided into two modes: mental strength control and manual control.

Mental strength control, as the name suggested, was to integrate mental strength into the mecha in order to achieve the purpose of controlling it. Often, the higher the level of mental strength, the greater the strength of the mecha that could be exerted.

The manual mode was the traditional command input mode. This mode required less mental strength, but the threshold was very high. It required a lot of time and energy to practice.

Both modes required the mecha pilot to have a certain amount of physical strength, or under the ultra-high-speed operation, the load of the mecha itself would kill the mecha pilot.

However, this had never been a problem for Val.

When she left Escher Star and headed for the interstellar space, she found that her elemental power gradually weakened as time passed. It didn’t disappear completely, but its power was much less than before. It wasn’t enough for her to protect herself.

She was unwilling to return to Roland without achieving anything, so she needed a new power to protect herself. She started to learn the interstellar fighting style.

It had to be said that even though the power of technological civilization wasn’t as special as a magical civilization, it had greatly lowered the threshold, allowing ordinary people to greatly improve themselves through hard work.

However, Val wasn’t an ordinary person. She grew quickly with the guidance of a genius scientist like Ding Mingyu.

Ding Mingyu was also aware of this, so when he saw Val driving the mecha and quickly adapting and manipulating the mecha to kill everyone in the simulated space, he wasn’t surprised at all.

He couldn’t help feeling emotional.

She was obviously such a gentle and lovely girl. How could she become so brutal when driving a mecha and controlling the artillery?

Once Val came out of the cockpit, her back was soaked with sweat but she felt refreshed. She hadn’t felt so refreshed in a long time.

Ding Mingyu also collected enough data.

This was just the first mecha. Once the specific plan was determined, mass production could be put on the agenda.

Of course, the configuration of the mass-produced mecha was definitely worse than this number one machine, but it was definitely much better than those produced by the top ten nations.

After all, technological civilizations didn’t have such good things as inscriptions that could strengthen things. There were also lightness inscriptions, fireproof inscriptions, acceleration inscriptions, etc.

It was the perfect combination of technology and magic!

Val jumped out of the cockpit and climbed down the tall fuselage of the mecha to the ground. Facing Ding Mingyu’s disapproving look, she smiled and asked, “What’s the name of this mecha?”

Dr Ding paused. He opened his mouth slightly, but finally didn’t say anything.

Val actually already knew it. After her mental strength connected to the mecha, the mecha’s intelligent system had told her.

Valor.

She smiled softly, not looking at Ding Mingyu. She just stared up at the silver-purple mecha in front of her.

Finally, she said softly, “I accept this gift and this thoughtful gesture.”

Ding Mingyu was stunned. He looked up at her beautiful side profile and finally let out a breath.

“Your Highness Val…”

“Call me like that again and I’ll get angry.”

“…Val.”

“Well, that’s good.”

“……”

Xu Sili hadn’t expected to receive such good news just after the war with the Bewatt Empire ended, and it was two at once.

Not only was a mecha unique to the Roland Empire produced, with excellent data evaluations in all aspects, but Aunt Val and Dr Ding finally got together!

Xu Sili was quite emotional when he heard the news.

It hadn’t been easy for these two. Now that they had finally achieved their goal, he was happier than anyone else and even wanted to celebrate in a big way, but was rejected by the two.

After all, they were over 50 years old. They might look young on the outside, but it couldn’t change their inner qualities. They didn’t value these formal things.

Xu Sili didn’t want to force them, so after giving gifts to the two of them, he issued an order to start the production of mechas.

The relevant training of mecha operators was finally put on the agenda.

Yu Sen, who had been teaching some messy courses during this period, could finally return to his main job and conduct mecha training.

Ye Sen: When did mecha training become my main job? I’m clearly a mecha master!

Despite his inner complaints, Yu Sen quickly took up the job. After all, his grandfather was here and he didn’t want to be kicked out of the Roland Empire for being passive and lazy.

His training was mainly for local soldiers.

In manual operation mode, one needed to remember various command codes and do a lot of practice before the mecha could be used as easily as their own limbs. This was too difficult for Roland’s soldiers.

After all, it had only been two or three years since the Roland people started to come into contact with the interstellar world and receive scientific and cultural education. They were still learning the universal language, let alone such complex codes.

Even in the universe, manual mode training started from a young age.

Yu Sen referred to the information he searched on the Star Network and compiled a set of teaching materials for Roland’s children to learn from an early age.

This would also be a good way out for children who hadn’t awakened their elemental talents.

The mental strength control mode wasn’t so troublesome, but the premise was that the student’s physique was strong enough.

Fortunately, there were many soldiers with strong physiques in Roland’s army. They were all ordinary people without awakened elemental talents. They could survive such a difficult war, so they were all rare elites.

Of course, in addition to physique, mental strength was also indispensable.

However, after testing, Yu Sen discovered that the mental strength of the soldiers in Roland’s army was basically above C level. This was the minimum standard of using mental strength to control mechas. There were also a few at B and A.

After some investigation, he found that this was probably related to the fact that soldiers needed to practice meditation every day.

Yu Sen picked out all the soldiers above B and gave them more rigorous physical training while teaching them how to use mental strength to control the mecha.

In addition to the local Roland soldiers, there were more than a dozen braves.

Of course, these braves brought their own mechas and needed researchers to help them unbind the mecha programs and rebind the owners.

It was obvious that these mechas were stolen. There was the logo of the Clive star thieves and Bewatt Empire on them.

Yu Sen had some complaints in his heart, but he still tried his best to teach them. The braves learned things very quickly, which made him feel less worried.

However, the players didn’t feel it was fast.

They had been playing this game for almost three years now and they could finally control mechas! Who would’ve thought that they would spend so much time on land when this game was set in the interstellar world!

Now that they could play with mechas, how far away could starships be?

Even though technology seemed to be no match for magic, it didn’t stop them from thinking it was cool!

Moreover, once mechas arrived in Roland, it would definitely be imbued with magical elements. The players had no worries about this.

There were even players who used mechas to engrave inscriptions for fun. This gave the research institute a lot of inspiration and further optimized the mecha inscriptions, greatly increasing the power of mass-produced machines.

Three months later, the first batch of mass-produced mechas were finally delivered and could be put into use in the army and on the market.

At this time, Adrian once again approached Xu Sili on behalf of the Interstellar Alliance to discuss cooperation.

Xu Sili heard the details of this cooperation and looked at Adrian. “You mean, you want to send people to stay in Roland permanently to learn our magic?”
