Everyday Life on a Residential Spaceship

As time passed, many Tactical Armor technologies had been adapted from military to civilian use due to the need to land on planets. Now, mechanically skilled armor enthusiasts could build their own mechs. Of course, not literally by hand—they still relied on machines to manufacture machines. They were simply the ones operating them.

They could even build Tactical Armor for walking and flying across planetary surfaces. They could design and manufacture all kinds of mechanical structures themselves. Only certain key technologies had to be purchased as finished products from technology factories, such as the full-body Microcurrent Sensing Device inside the cockpit and the mech's control chips.

Such components were high-end parts that no individual could possibly make by hand. They could only be manufactured in high-precision technology factories.

These components were often the most valuable items in civilian mech enthusiast circles, with both chips and cockpits almost always in short supply.

In truth, these mech enthusiasts could still get their hands on some retired cockpits. They used their ingenuity to dismantle, reassemble, or modify them into the finished products they wanted. But they still could not compare to genuine military technology. The same went for chips and systems.

The systems were, naturally, Operating Systems. They definitely could not obtain the military's Operating System, but these enthusiasts always had remarkably well-connected friends who knew experts in the field, or they taught themselves and developed civilian versions of Tactical Armor Operating Systems.

The same was true for Tactical Armor Auxiliary Chips.

Now that the event organizers had claimed the prize was a military chip, it was undoubtedly immensely attractive. These enthusiasts had coveted military Tactical Armor with its formidable combat capabilities for a long time. Getting a military chip was absolutely a dream come true.
