Chen Han stretched out his right hand and gently touched the chest armor of the machine, his eyes full of greedy desire.

He is a low-level ordinary person, but he also has a dream. He wants to own a mecha of his own and become a pilot.

Whether you can live a good life is another matter. At least you will have dignity and will not be treated unfairly like today.

Those harsh ridicules and those banknotes falling on the ground have always been lingering in his heart.

If he wants to be respected, he has to become stronger and become a pilot, and the prerequisite for becoming a pilot is to have a mecha.

But a brand new mecha was too expensive. Even the cheapest one cost nearly 200,000 Starlink coins. It would take him more than ten years to save up without eating or drinking. It was really too long.

Since I can't buy it, I might as well use all my current savings to repair this one I picked up.

If he succeeds, he will save more than ten years. If he fails, it doesn't matter. He doesn't have much savings anyway.

With longing for the future in mind, Chen Han began to install the mecha's system. This is the main software for activating the mecha, which is also the so-called intelligence.

The more advanced the intelligent system, the easier it is for the pilot to control the mecha, but Chen Han doesn't have that much money, so buying a usable system for a few thousand dollars is already pretty good.

Since this was a complex and delicate job, by the time Chen Han finished it, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

The maintenance shop has long been closed, and other maintenance personnel have gone home. Li Sheng is probably drunk and asleep.

While the system was loading, Chen Han took out the small cake he bought during the day and sat on the ground leaning on the mecha's legs. There was still more than an hour before the end of the day, just right.

There were no candles, no birthday songs, no blessings, no gifts, just a cake covered in sand and soil, with an incomplete shape, and you could hear a "crunching" sound when you chewed it.

But this didn't stop Chen Han from eating with gusto. He even licked the remaining butter and bread crumbs on the packaging box. He was so hungry that he was so busy that he even forgot to eat dinner.

He will be eighteen years old after today and can take the pilot examination.

If he can repair this mecha again, he will be a pilot in the future, with many job options, no one will look down on him, and he will no longer have to worry about his next meal, Chen Han thought happily.

When he took the last bite of the cake, the mecha's system was completely loaded and it made a beep beep beep sound.

Chen Han quickly stood up and inspected the mecha for a while. After finding no problems, he took out the set of green energy blocks, a total of twelve.

This is a more advanced energy block, and the energy contained in it is ten times that of the white energy block.

Of course, the price is also ten times higher. Just these dozen gadgets cost nearly 400 Starlink coins.

Chen Han also wanted to use a cheaper one, but the white energy block did not support the consumption of the mecha at all. It was estimated that even the mecha would not be able to start up...

After the energy filling was completed, the next step was to enter the inside of the mecha and start it up. Chen Han got in without hesitation.

It is a closed space with an independent environmental adjustment system. When the mecha is activated, the pilots inside will not feel any discomfort even if they are in space.

After skillfully bringing up the control panel, a male mechanical voice sounded: "Your pilot certificate was not detected. Please try to fly the mecha after you have obtained the pilot qualification."

Chen Han ignored the prompt. He was not a pilot yet, so of course he couldn't detect it. He continued to debug the control panel, intending to forcefully connect to the mecha. Only in this way could he check the status of the mecha.

A few seconds later, there was another annoying male mechanical voice: "Warning! Connecting the mecha without a pilot's certificate will bring unpredictable consequences. Confirm whether the neurons are connected?"

This is not alarmist. Ordinary people cannot control mechas. There is only one pilot in a million, and they must go through a lot of training and examinations.

If the connection is forcibly connected, it can range from nosebleeds to brain damage. There are precedents for this.

"Confirm." Chen Han said without hesitation.

Although he is not a pilot yet, this is not the first time he has connected to a mecha. When he was fifteen years old, he successfully connected to a newly repaired mecha on his own and successfully controlled it for several minutes.

In recent years, he has piloted a lot of mechas in the repair shop without any problems. He has already regarded connection as a daily routine.

"Establishing connection...1%2%3%...Connection completed!"

As the mechanical sound stopped, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Chen Han felt a twinge of pain in his brain, and then his vision moved from the mecha to the workshop, which meant that he had become one with the mecha.

Chen Han tried to move his arms and felt the powerful feeling. Chen Han was extremely excited. The mecha could still be used. He had repaired it. He succeeded!

In this state, not only could he be protected from fatal injuries in the mecha, but he could not even feel the most basic pain, which was equivalent to having an extra life.

In addition, mechas can also carry a variety of weapons. An ordinary mecha can easily provide fire support for a human team.

It is for these reasons that mechas frequently appear on the battlefields of major galaxies, and can even dominate ground battles.

Those outstanding pilots are the objects of competition among major planets and forces. Pilots and mechas complement each other, and only top pilots can bring out the full performance of mechas.

"Start self-test mode."

Chen Han suppressed his extreme excitement and started doing business.

The self-test mode allows the mecha to perform self-checks, read core data, and let Chen Han know the detailed model and functions of the mecha.

However, as soon as he gave the order, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and his whole body felt as if he was suffocated. He could not recover for a long time, and the next moment he lost consciousness and passed out...

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Han finally slowly opened his eyes. After scanning the surroundings several times, he realized that he was still in the mecha, but had been disconnected.

After touching his still aching head and swollen nose, Chen Han discovered that his mouth and chin were covered in blood. Judging from the dryness, he had been unconscious for several hours.

When I was in coma, I had a long dream. In the dream, there was a man driving this mecha. There were many people chasing him. The man ran away risking his life.

When he ran to a large garbage dump, the man was intercepted and a fierce battle broke out. The mecha was seriously damaged. Fortunately, the man also killed all the pursuers.

Finally, the man got out of the mecha, took out a baby from inside, and left with the baby, leaving the badly damaged mecha in place. This was the last scene Chen Han dreamed about before he regained consciousness.

Because it was so real, as if it had really happened, Chen Han couldn't forget it even after he woke up, but he didn't know what the meaning of this dream was.
Chapter completed!
