Chapter 258: Invasion of Enemies

up here, but someone is messing with my decorations. I'm going back to check it out. What about you""I'm heading to the last place now, everything else is set up.""Then be careful, if anyone here find...In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed. The students are already familiar with life at the base, and their schedules are in sync with those of the mecha soldiers here.

Under Master OuYang's guidance, they have already inspected and maintained all the mechs at the base. A batch of old and damaged mechs will be retired.

While they were sorting through and decommissioning the mechs, they found that besides the oldest first-generation mechs, some of the others had damaged parts. There weren't any replacement parts available here, so they chose to decommission them and send them back to Blue Star.

Ripples went to Kate, Annie, and Hill to discuss, and then went to find Master OuYang. They proposed to disassemble the eliminated mechs for a second assembly, dismantling them to keep usable parts, and then reassemble new mechs.

"Are you confident"

Ouyang wasn't surprised, and asked directly.

"Yes."

"Then assemble a complete mecha to convince me."

Ouyang won't strike students' enthusiasm, but he will speak with facts.

"No problem!"

Hill immediately agreed.

Then, all the students gathered together. Kate, the class monitor, explained the process of reassembling and mobilized everyone to participate.

Of course, the elite students had no objections. After all, opportunities to dismantle mechs at school and home were scarce. Here, they could do it freely - what else could they hesitate about

"Don't get too excited, Teacher Ou Yang requires us to assemble a mecha first through testing before we can dismantle the rest."

Kate immediately spoke up, halting the eager companions.

“I’ll assign the task now. Each of you will check five decommissioned mechs for faults. If you are unsure about anything, ask Hongtu for assistance.”

Hill, you've been working hard. After checking your five mechs, please compile the data and share it with us. We'll try to choose the same model mechs for reassembly.

"No problem, I got this."

Hill immediately clapped in agreement.

"Anne, go find the mech repair technicians here and see if we can requisition some mech parts from their stock. Whatever they give us is fine."

"Understood!"

Anne smiled and continued with her assignment.

"Okay, everyone, let's get moving!"

Twenty students dispersed throughout the hangar, each having selected five mecha and marking them with their own insignia. They made an effort to choose similar types of mecha, then brought out their neural interfaces, connecting them to the mecha system, and began the first round of checks.

"Youth is great, they are energetic and full of ideas, they implement them immediately. Compared to them, we are indeed a bit lazy."

Sean stood arms crossed on a shelf in the mech bay, talking to OuYang.

They are all good prospects, this time you guys really made a killing. The mechs they assembled won't be any worse, they will all undergo manual adjustments, which is better than the performance of mass-produced ones.

"Ouyang said with pride, and then he tapped the busy ripples:"

"That boy's uncle is Du Zifeng, he isn't low in his skill at mech manufacturing."

"So it's Master Du's nephew."

Sean said he really made money.

Three days later, a reassembled mecha was pushed before OuYang.

“This mecha has the least external damage. The problem is with the power transmission system, causing a lag in its movements. Its equipped beam weapons are also damaged. So we checked and repaired the transmission system, fixing the data that caused the lag.”

Kate tapped her neural display, listing out the modifications she'd made to her mech and detailing how each of her companions had solved their own issues.

The mecha has already been test driven, but it hasn't left the base. When the mecha soldiers go out on patrol, you can ask them to pilot the mecha to complete the patrol mission and finish the final test.

Kate finished speaking and turned her gaze to Teacher OuYang.

"Alright, the final test will be conducted by Captain Sean's team. Once he gives us the results, you can proceed."

OuYang said, looking towards Sean who was beside him.

Shawn looked at the silver-grey mecha, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke.

"Thank you for bringing this mech back to life. I'll give you your scores after patrol ends tomorrow night."

The students in Class A looked at each other and nodded, indicating they had no problem.

That night, after their classmates watched their rebuilt mechs leave the base, they happily went back to rest, hoping for good news when they woke up the next morning.

Unfortunately, Sean's squad ran into trouble and didn't return to base on time.

The first thing that felt off was the ripples, or rather, her thinking cap, Ian.

When it was the middle of the night, and Ripples was resting in her sleep chamber, Ian forcefully woke her up.

"Master! Master! Please end your slumber, an emergency has occurred! You need to attend to it."

The ripples quickly revived, opened the cryo chamber, and after rubbing their temples, asked:

"Ian, what happened"

A squad of mecha troopers patrolling in the evening encountered a sudden incident!

"Did they send a distress signal to base"

Ripples believes that Ian intercepted the transmission messages from the base to know about it.

"No, Ian got the message from the mech core database you assembled."

The ripples reacted for a moment, then immediately said:

"You didn't disconnect from that mech"

Because the new mecha's transmission system is ripple repair, Ian intervened in the core database of the mecha.

"Yes, Master. Ian was supposed to be collecting data from his external patrols. However, the database suffered an electromagnetic pulse attack, and all that came back were images of the mech being attacked."

That's why Ian had to wake you up forcefully. Ian believes that the ZJWL planet has been invaded by enemies. The enemy is currently unknown, and your safety is under threat. Please prepare for escape as soon as possible.

Ripple's lips twitched. As expected, it was a brain chip upgraded by Du Zifeng, more humanized. Upon discovering its defeat, the first thing it did was let her escape.

"Download the transmitted image, give it to Teacher OuYang, and send a warning message to all classmates, telling them to be fully armed and ready for battle. I'll go see Teacher OuYang first."

While Ian was explaining the situation, Ripple had already donned a high-grade combat suit alternating between white and purple, activated her protective features, and swiftly left her residence, heading straight for Master OuYang's room.

After receiving an urgent notification from Ian, the students of Class A quickly followed Ripple's instructions, fully armed themselves, and rushed out of their residences to gather around Kate.

"Wake up your mechs, check their status, and wait for Teacher OuYang and Hongtu to return."

Kate said softly.

"Yes!"

Everyone tensed up and, following the squad leader's orders, began inspecting their gear.

Here, Ouyang had already seen the ripples of the scene passing through, leaping out of the sleep chamber and opening the door to see Ripples fully armed.

Is the situation true

"That's true! My neural implant was upgraded by my little brother. It has reached the defense level of a military researcher. This is Ian's first time triggering the alarm."

"Come with me to see the commander!"

"Teacher, please activate the stationary defense shield first."nd they all went to his spacious lounge."Ripple Captain, did you tell Morgan about the creation of the bioengineering company"Lances poured out a bottle of red wine, saying as he did so."As I said, I...
