"Daddy~ You don't need to pay attention to this uncle~" Tuantuan tugged Su Chen's sleeve, saying in a voice she thought was very quiet, "Assistant Sister said he's not quite right here~ He watched too much Ultraman when he was little, so he's a bit... chuunibyou~"
She pointed to her own little head, looking at Cui Haoyu with pity.
Chuunibyou? He meant chunibyo, right!
However, Su Chen observed that Cui Haoyu seemed quite normal, just that his eyesight might not be the best.
He gently raised his hand and patted Tuantuan's little head, also speaking in a seemingly lowered voice, "Tuantuan, we can't say things like that in front of uncles in the future. It's impolite, okay? Let's go home and say it secretly."
Cui Haoyu's face was almost turning red.
He wasn't chuunibyou!
He was just passionate about mecha research and only watched mecha anime!
If others didn't understand, then they didn't understand!
Just as he was about to react, he suddenly realized with hindsight that Tuantuan called this man "Dad"!
What did "Dad" mean? Had he already won over Yan Bingxue, and even gained the approval of Tuantuan and Lele?
Cui Haoyu looked shocked. At that moment, a faint flash of light suddenly flickered and caught his eye.
He focused and saw it was the reflection of a diamond from Su Chen's watch.
Damn, wasn't that a Beli Fida 500 2P worth nearly twenty million?
Cui Haoyu was a genuine young master, so of course, he could distinguish between fakes and genuine items. The watch on Su Chen's wrist was real!
A watch worth nearly twenty million, and he could afford to wear it? Then weren't those drones and the romantic proposal all achieved through his own capabilities?
Cui Haoyu began to look at the handsome young man in front of him with newfound respect.
It seemed unlikely he could surpass the other man financially. But it didn't matter; he had what he was best at and most proud of, which was – Mecha Manufacturing!
He and Yan Bingxue had met because of mechas. He was a mecha enthusiast and had already done some research in this area, even publishing a paper in a Dragon Country science and technology magazine.
The mecha project of Chaofan Group was proposed by Yan Bingxue. They met at a mecha seminar, and from then on, Cui Haoyu was smitten, considering her his goddess!
Moreover, he had imagined countless times in his heart the scene of proposing to Yan Bingxue while piloting a mecha he built with his own hands. As a result, before his mecha was even built, this young man who boasted that 'combat mechas are a piece of cake' had already beaten him to it!
Fine, then he would compete with him on their knowledge of mechas!
Men should speak with their abilities; boasting comes with a price!
"You just said that combat mechas are a piece of cake for you?"
"How about we ask each other a few questions about mechas? Whoever can't answer loses, what do you say!"
Since neither of them could build a mecha yet, he, Cui Haoyu, would never lose to anyone in a theoretical discussion!
"What do you say? You sounded quite knowledgeable when you mentioned mechas earlier. Are you scared to compete now?"
Su Chen said indifferently, "I didn't want to bother with you, but you're just asking for a beating? Fine, you ask!"
With his son and daughter here, it was a good opportunity for him to explain some mecha knowledge to them.
Cui Haoyu's lips curled up as he asked, "Let me ask you a simple one: what's the best material for a mecha's external armor?"
No one in the world could build a mecha yet.
They were still in the research and development phase.
The best material they had developed so far for mecha external armor was titanium alloy.
This was something they had just researched and hadn't announced to the public yet.
Su Chen definitely wouldn't be able to answer!
Su Chen would surely mention some low-tier materials like aluminum alloy, steel, and so on.
Su Chen said calmly, "Currently, the best material for mecha armor is titanium alloy, which has super bulletproof capabilities and a moderate weight."
Upon hearing this, Cui Haoyu was stunned!
Damn it!
Su Chen actually knew!
This is infuriating!
It must have been Yan Bingxue who told Su Chen!
Otherwise, how could Su Chen, who wasn't even involved in mecha research, not only know to use titanium alloy but also know that it needed to be super bulletproof and have a moderate weight!
"Wow, Daddy, you're so amazing! You know this too." Tuantuan, seeing Cui Haoyu's crestfallen expression, immediately clapped her hands joyfully to cheer for her dad.
Even though she didn't understand anything, it didn't stop her from looking at her dad with adoring eyes.
"It's my turn to ask," Su Chen said calmly.
"You ask!" Cui Haoyu's expression was very unpleasant.
He hadn't expected his attempt to put Su Chen in his place to fail.
However, he figured Su Chen wouldn't be able to ask any advanced questions!
Whatever Yan Bingxue could tell Su Chen was probably just that kind of information.
Su Chen only remembered the names of those things, but when it came to mechs, without a decade of research, one would never truly understand them!
He could definitely solve the questions Su Chen asked with ease!
"Since you just asked me the simplest question, I'll return the favor with a simple one."
"What's the best way to design a mech's control cabin?"
Upon hearing Su Chen's question, Cui Haoyu immediately puffed out his chest and said with great confidence, "Of course, it's using mechanical manipulation. Just like the joystick in a plane's cockpit, use a joystick to unlock the mech's weapons and buttons to control the mech's various functions."
This was indeed the simplest question.
Any student who had just started learning about mechs could answer it!
As expected, Su Chen didn't understand mechs at all!
The reason Su Chen could answer his question earlier was purely luck! Yan Bingxue had just told him!
That's why Su Chen remembered!
Now, he planned to ask a medium-difficulty question, because Yan Bingxue would definitely disdain discussing medium-difficulty questions with Su Chen.
So Su Chen definitely wouldn't know!
Just as he was about to announce his second question, Su Chen chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Cui Haoyu frowned.
Lele also looked at Su Chen.
Because Cui Haoyu's previous answer was not wrong.
Everything he said was correct.
The current control mode for mechs was a combination of joysticks and buttons, referencing the cockpit of an airplane.
After chuckling, Su Chen said, "It seems your understanding of mechs is truly still at the kindergarten level."
"What do you mean?!" Cui Haoyu was enraged.
This implied that Su Chen looked down on his answer!
He thought he was wrong!!!
Heh!
How could he be wrong?
This was clearly stated in the introductory mech textbook!
Absolutely no mistake!
Su Chen must be pretending to be profound!
Showing off!
Su Chen said, "My meaning is very clear. The simplistic operation you mentioned is fine for controlling an airplane, but for controlling a mech… are you sure you're not kidding me?"
Cui Haoyu's anger made his hair stand on end.
Damn it!
To call his method a simplistic operation!
And to say his understanding of mechs was at a kindergarten level!
It was simply outrageous!
"Then tell me, what is the best method?" Cui Haoyu said with a cold laugh.
He threw the question right back at Su Chen!
He wanted to see what genuine understanding of mechs Su Chen, this outsider, could come up with!
At this moment, an elder sitting on a sofa in the corner reading a magazine suddenly put down his magazine, his gaze involuntarily shifting to Su Chen.
It was as if he too was anticipating Su Chen's answer.
Su Chen said calmly, "Of course, it's using sensor probes!"
"Using semi-transparent liquid crystal glasses to transmit the mech's vision and control the direction of the mech's head camera!"
"And displaying a manual 3D strategic map!"
"The touch-sensitive panel will display various indicators and equipment status, and the fire control weapon system will be controlled by AI voice command!"
"This allows the mech to quickly perform all the actions we want them to!"
Of course, the best method would be a helmet-style brainwave sensor, directly connecting the mech through the brain's neurons, achieving 100% compatibility between the person and the mech!
Reaching the state described in Wuxia novels as 'man and sword as one,' or in this case, 'man and mech as one'!
This method was taught to him by the system, the most advanced method.
It far surpassed the limits of current technological capabilities.
Even if others knew about it, they wouldn't be able to create such a helmet-style brainwave sensor!
But he, in the future, definitely could!
Mastering the Intermediate Mecha Manufacturing Technique would grant this skill.
As for the beginner Mecha Manufacturing Technique he had acquired, it allowed him to do what he had just described – using detection sensors!
Su Chen's words left the entire audience stunned and dumbfounded!
Not just Cui Haoyu and Lele!
But also the old man sitting on the sofa in the corner!
After his shock, the old man excitedly stood up, his gaze towards Su Chen burning with intensity!
He immediately used his phone to record everything Su Chen had just said.
He was afraid of forgetting it!
Looking at the design plan for the mecha cockpit recorded on his phone!
His face was filled with amazement!
This… this cockpit design was absolutely perfect!
The previous mechanical operation design was completely blown away by this new plan!
He hadn't expected that while visiting his granddaughter today, he would unexpectedly encounter such a talented young man.
This was a huge gain!
He had to make sure his granddaughter got this young man's contact information later!
Talent like this needed to be recruited into Dragon Country's top scientific academies!
Lele also hadn't expected that Su Chen wasn't just talking nonsense; he genuinely knew a more modern and superior design plan for the cockpit!
Although he didn't understand much of it, he was impressed by the confidence and knowledge displayed!
Su Chen was truly amazing!
It seemed like he could really build giant mechs!
Tuantuan, being a loyal fan of Daddy, clapped and cheered even though she didn't understand, "Daddy is so amazing! Daddy's plan beats all the others!"
"Daddy will definitely build a giant mech!"
"My Daddy is Superman!"
Cui Haoyu had never imagined such a cockpit design could be proposed!
Even the old scientists in the top academies couldn't come up with such a brilliant design!
At this moment, he wasn't angry or embarrassed; only two words came to his mind: Awesome!!!!
Although he pursued Yan Bingxue, he was also an ardent enthusiast of mechs.
What Su Chen had said made him realize Su Chen's incredible prowess in the field of mechs.
He completely forgot about continuing to compete with Su Chen.
He immediately started asking all his questions.
His arrogant demeanor from before was completely gone.
It was like a student facing a difficult problem suddenly meeting an omniscient teacher, eager to have all their questions answered immediately.
"Su Chen, then what about the mecha's exterior..."
"Cui Haoyu, have you asked enough? Are you here to cause trouble, or are you trying to use provocation to pry into Chaofan Group's commercial secrets regarding mecha research?!"
Suddenly, a sharp female voice cut through the air. Yan Bingxue, fully made up, appeared from somewhere.
She walked directly to Su Chen's side, her expression cool and domineering, like a fierce woman protecting her man.
"What other secrets of our company do you want to inquire about? Are you looking to receive a lawyer's letter from our company's legal department?"
