For Melina, her school life was not that colorful.
During that period of youth, which is called the "academic period", most of the time was spent studying classics and ancient documents, drawing enthusiasm from all kinds of esoteric and difficult to pronounce complicated vocabulary for the study of occultism. And the refining of magic factors.
After meeting Luisa, Melina felt that her life had gained color.
Later, I met Katarina when I was in color.
I still remember the shade under the tall giant trees.
I still remember the majestic and gorgeous corridor.
Wearing a bachelor's degree uniform with silver-white hair and golden eyes, he was walking in the semi-open corridor, his mind filled with trivial questions such as what to do with the money for his next book. Then, the little Katarina-senpai, who looked very cute running down the corridor, unexpectedly exploded and bumped into her.
After experiencing this scene, which was like the acquaintance of the hero and heroine in a cartoon, Katarina asked for help.
"I will lend you a sum of money, Melina, not for any reason, just because your name is Melina, and because I like your character and personality."
The little girl with blue hair and heterochromatic eyes spoke as if she was drunk.
"I will return it to you as soon as possible."
The girl with blond hair and silver eyes rubbed her face against each other's palm sweetly and affectionately, as if she had drunk honey.
…
When my thoughts reached this point, I was awakened by the bumpy steam train. Senior Caterina, her two wind-up cats, and Mayor Lyon were chattering about the driving route.
There was also a menacing dragon roar coming from the sky.
Melina looked out the window and saw few signs of werewolves among the trees.
A cold voice came from beside him.
"…Those werewolves are using Raccoon Town as food."
G was wiping his mining pick with a black handkerchief, and his cold face was full of an ascetic allure. Unlike Melina, the lipstick she chose was still light red, which made her lips particularly moist. Her palms and nails under the black gauze gloves were covered with purple and blue nail polish. She also got her nails done.
"...Most of them gathered outside Raccoon Town, but there are no people in these places. They flocked to the most prosperous places, like moths to a flame."
Melina puffed her face.
You'd better say werewolf! ... She reached out and brushed the hair around her ears, and then looked outside:
"You don't get carsick anymore?"
"Still dizzy, but much better." G stroked his mining pick with an expressionless expression.
"Why?"
"Probably." G leaned back, glanced at her, and said with an emotion of "I definitely want to have a good relationship with her," "Every time I feel a little dizzy, I will peek at you and watch. It is easy for people to indulge in beautiful things, and addiction makes people forget the pain."
"Should I say thank you?"
G felt the car stop, picked up the mining pick and stood up. At the same time, he extended his hand to Melina: "Maybe you should say, 'Then why don't you say thank you'."
"Ah."
Melina opened her parasol and jumped out of the car.
"What's wrong, Katarina?"
The blue-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes jumped down, put her hands on her hips with her hands filled with anger, and kicked the tire hard with her foot, "It's a flat tire!"
"Puncture?"
Neither Leon nor G have this concept, but Melina understands it a little bit.
In this world, most vehicles have so-called solid wooden tires or iron tires, and the rubber industry is not developed. Catalina's steam car is a cutting-edge technology. It is a land cruiser made by using the jet principle generated by a large-scale air cushion, but the air cushion is still called a tire.
It seemed that the air cushion leaked just now due to the attack of a stone werewolf.
Melina walked over and asked:
"Senior Katarina, how many zones are divided into the wheels of your car?"
It sounds a bit like hard disk partitioning, but it is actually a kind of risk avoidance. For example, in the steam airship of the Royal Capital, the air bag is divided into 80 outer and 16 inner blocks, a total of 96 blocks for magic factor filling and steam replenishment. The inner and outer partitions The strongest shell is installed in the place to ensure that as long as 8 blocks survive inside, it can maintain a low-altitude flight of 10 meters.
The same goes for hovercraft.
Catalina frantically picked up the wrench and roared: "Ten, if you don't help me, there are only ten!"
Melina was speechless for a moment and muttered:
"I didn't say I wouldn't help you..."
"Then why did you leave me? We didn't agree!" Catalina quickly squatted down, picked up the two wind-up cats wearing yellow helmets, held them in her arms, and said aggressively, "Like them! Never! Separate!"
"Meow, I never said such cat language..." the fatter cat Tuanzi protested.
"Meow! Bad cat!" The thinner one got angry and stabbed his companion hard with his tail, forcing the fat cat group to shut his mouth. The fat cat and Melina looked at each other, and they could see their helplessness.
Melina decided to divert her attention.
"But if I'm here, the zoning level of this air cushion will be increased by up to 20%, which means that two more zones can still ensure normal movement speed."
The topic of technology suddenly separated Catalina's mind.
The blue-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes showed a fierce expression: "Impossible, 20% partition? Are you kidding!"
Melina looked apologetically at Leon and G, and gestured to the side.
G nodded: "I'm going to check out the werewolves nearby..."
Leon nodded knowingly and waved:
"I won't bother you with Lu Ke!"
…
Catalina and Melina spent countless days and nights in a computer room and warehouse, proposing unlimited and profound academic discussions with limited materials. Including but not limited to design discussions of pneumatic jet cushions, steam turbine spacecraft, etc. They often argued all night long, and occasionally when they returned to the dormitory, Melina would need Luisa to make a refreshing drink for herself before she could continue the fierce battle with her the next day.
Catalina has no shyness whatsoever.
She pretended not to hear the ridicule of Mayor Lyon, but kept showing the entire structure of the air mattress to Melina angrily.
Some of these technical nodes have benefited Melina a lot. After all, this is Catalina's area of expertise.
But some of the mistakes also made her frown. Due to the lack of some materials, Catalina's designs tended to be bold, and she created the basic structure of the entire hovercraft through various chaotic and easily explosive designs. .
and.
Since they are from college, they are indeed unable to compete with some auto repair shop students who were born in poor areas in terms of money-saving structures and materials.
But Melina decided not to mention these structural issues today.
She was worried that Catalina would get too many answers too early, causing her eyes to shift from her body to the machinery again. Keeping those around her hungry has become an instinctive habit for Melina. She liked the feeling of being held in the palm of her hand.
Today, let’s talk about the air mattress issue first... Melina took out a pen and paper on the spot and helped Catalina solve the air mattress partition problem.
Melina was a very standard all-rounder when she was in the academy.
Even though she had not learned about the latest cutting-edge technology for several months after graduation, after seeing this hovercar, Melina immediately felt the progress and changes in technology, and quickly changed it from her mind. All kinds of drawings stored in it, all kinds of drawings that cannot appear in reality because technology cannot catch up, have updated the components of modern technology.
Re-researched and considered.
Melina found that she could lift the air-cushion tires of the air-cushion car by nearly 10 zones at most, that is, 20 zones on one mattress. At the same time, the output of each zone was increased by 5%, for a total of 100% extra power. If you attach it to your own achievements in mysticism, you can also provide functions such as automatically refining steam factors.
Xiaomei thought for a moment.
Decided to make a small cut.
A total of 10% of performance enhancement is enough, and 20% of partition enhancement is enough to counteract risks. Finally, we can cut here and there.
All special functions have been cut off.
There is no need to fix the white attribute to the blue attribute in one go.
Melina was not worried about this technology, but she was worried that if she repaired it, Caterina would forget about her and live with her car for the rest of her life.
Although he said that he refused to accompany her before.
And ran away alone.
I didn’t even write a letter after running away.
But I'm sorry, just pretend you were wrong, okay? Meow!
Melina's mood changed from 'I'm sorry, meow' to 'I'm already sorry, what else can you do! 'It only took half a second.
Catalina keenly caught the changes in her emotions, holding her pot lid with both hands, and murmured:
"You shouldn't be hiding some skills from me, right?"
"No, no, no... let's take a look at the air mattress!"
Melina originally thought that Catalina would do auto repairs herself, but she didn't expect that this guy had actually trained his wind-up cat to become an auto repair master.
The two cat dumplings nestled under the air mattress, took out wrenches and other tools and began to piece together and maintain them according to the magic factor blueprint given by Melina.
The magic factor is more expensive than the real thing.
For example, if a spring bearing model is 3-2, then it requires almost 3 spring bearings with a factor of 3-2 to be materialized. But before being materialized, all the magic factors do not occupy a large area, so a large number of repair parts can be easily carried around, which is good news for any engineer.
Of course, it is also the main expense of engineers in this world...
Especially for cutting-edge researchers like Catalina, out of pure love, steam cars are not subsidized, only dragon turtle cars are.
But there are always people in the world who don’t like the smoothness of turtle cars.
While they were finishing the car, G came back first.
This cold-looking woman showed a rare sweet and innocent smile, and behind her floated a watermelon that was about 5 centimeters taller than Melina. It was huge and plump!
It seems that even the ascetic-looking explorer of the Necromancer series will still be confused by the sudden opportunity to collect.
Later, it took more time for Leon to come back.
He came back with two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news is: he found the damn statue, and he also found the bad flowing radiant swamp dragon.
The bad news is: these two things are merged!
