Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 1034 - 711: First Encounter in Battle!

The day before the submission deadline, an internal meeting regarding the implementation of technical standards for this year's tournament was held at the administrative center in "Star City," convened by the Technical Standards Department, Security Committee, and some senior tournament officials of the Star Alliance.

The meeting was originally a routine affair to review the preparations before the tournament started, confirm some technical details, and handle a few cases of teams still undergoing final audits.

Representatives who participated in the "rule revision" sat in relaxed, awaiting the "good news" of "New Bauhinia" being forced to withdraw or only able to use severely limited backup mecha due to their inability to submit compliant mecha by the stipulated time.

However, halfway through the meeting, the technical official responsible for the final summary of the audit results stood up, with a hint of undisguised surprise and... excitement?

He operated the holographic projection in front of him, bringing up a technical application document thick with hundreds of pages that had just completed its final review.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I need to insert a report temporarily."

The technical officer's voice echoed in the conference room, "Regarding the mecha audit application of the participating team 'New Bauhinia Republic.' They submitted a wholly new, complete technical application document at the last minute before the deadline, accompanied by the preliminary report of physical testing. After a preliminary review by an expert group urgently formed by our technical audit department... the results... are somewhat unexpected."

Eyes in the conference room instantly focused on him. The representatives behind the scenes also straightened up slightly.

"What they submitted was not a modification scheme to the non-compliant mecha but a completely new mecha design scheme named 'Dawn's Edge' series, along with detailed technical data of the first prototype, 'Breaker of Dawn.'

The technical officer quickly introduced, "According to the application, this series of mecha was independently designed recently by 'New Bauhinia's' affiliated 'Institute of Frontier Technology Research,' aiming to create a 'next-generation general-purpose mecha platform that complies with and moderately surpasses current Star Alliance universal technology standards while ensuring high Spiritual Energy adaptability and combat reliability.'

He displayed several core data charts: "First, regarding energy core stability. 'Dawn's Edge' adopts a newly designed 'Double Helix Steady-State Fusion Core,' whose output curve not only fully meets the requirement of the 17th version of the standard for a terminal fluctuation below 1.5%, but even under extreme overload testing, it consistently maintains a fluctuation rate below 0.8%, with the curve smoothness commendable. Its design philosophy abandons the mere pursuit of peak power, emphasizing linearity, controllability, and stability under extreme conditions. This... highly aligns with the direction we hope to guide through standard revisions, even doing better."

"Secondly, Spiritual Power Circuit compatibility." The technical officer switched screens, "They submitted a complete circuit framework blueprint and safety demonstration. The primary circuit adopts a modular, pluggable 'Spiritual Co-Processor Array' design. The core fundamental circuit strictly follows several most stable and secure universal templates in the Star Alliance database. The sections achieving 'high Spiritual Energy adaptability' and 'special capability support' are handled by independent co-processor modules designed with stringent safety isolation and redundancy. Every module's function, interface protocol, safety isolation measure is detailed, and... they opened the compatibility test data of these modules with mainstream Spiritual Power Amplifiers and stabilizers' interfaces, showing they can seamlessly connect with standard external devices produced by at least seven different factions. This is no longer an 'unidentifiable unique pattern,' but a highly standardized, expandable advanced design philosophy."

"Thirdly, regarding materials." The technical officer continued, "They submitted three new alloy formulae, respectively used for armor, skeleton, and transmission structure. Every component has clear source explanations, performance parameters are clear, and they passed a full set of safety tests, including toxicity, radiation, and Spiritual Energy pollution, all superior to standard requirements. Especially the main armor alloy 'Star Dust Jade,' whose comprehensive protective performance improves approximately 18% over the current Star Alliance commonly used 'standard ship armor steel' at the same weight, yet with Spiritual Energy conduction efficiency not diminished at all..."

As each piece of data was displayed, the atmosphere in the conference room began to become subtle.

Representatives who originally came with a mindset of watching the show gradually lost their relaxed expressions, replaced by astonishment, disbelief, and a trace of being slapped.

This is far beyond barely meeting standards?

This is clearly... within the current standard framework, producing a superior performance, more advanced design, wholly compliant, and even offering a reference model for future standard upgrades—an excellent work indeed!

"Moreover..." The technical officer's voice carried the enthusiasm of discovering treasure in a professional field, "They also proposed some... quite forward-looking design concepts in their application documents. For example, incorporating certain ideas about biological neural link-assisted control from 'Mecha Modification Plan 2.0' with the traditional force feedback control system to form a 'Hybrid Enhanced Control Mode,' significantly enhancing the mech pilot's control precision and reaction speed under safety assured conditions, particularly beneficial for high mobility and precise operations. Additionally, they optimized the internal ecological maintenance system and pilot emergency life support system of the mecha, with design metrics... even exceeding some standards we set for deep-space exploration mecha."
