Chapter 83 Chapter 083
The highly anticipated Imperial Mecha Research Institute’s press conference, awaited by millions across the interstellar, was planned for two days later.
The location of the technical conference was held in the most prestigious conference hall of the Empire. Generally, only members of the royal family are eligible to come and go, which was enough to show the importance that the high-level officials of the Empire attached to this press conference.
Tickets for the press conference are hard to find. Because the Yun family couldn’t get in touch with Yun Xingze, they originally thought it was impossible for them to attend. They never expected the Imperial Mecha Research Institute would personally send them two tickets.
Yun Changsheng was overjoyed as he spoke to Qin Shuang, “These must have been obtained by Xingxing in order to help us. He is still very filial.”
Qin Shuang saw the ticket and thought, ‘although Yun Xingze hates the Yun family very much, but perhaps he is still the same as before. A kind child.’
The couple was very relieved.
Before the start.
Almost all distinguished characters in the mecha world of the Empire appeared outside the conference hall.
In the process of waiting, Chi Yin also received a lot of attention because of his high status.
Although Chi Yin’s act of forcing Yun Xingze to get engaged caused him to cut off his glands, he still had the support of the queen behind him. It didn’t seem like this matter would become too big, so most people were still willing to curry favor with him.
Seeing this scene, Yun Changsheng and Qin Shuang were both very upset.
“Obviously it’s that guy who harmed Xingxing, and made him fall into a coma for so long. Acting like nothing is wrong now.” Yun Changsheng whispered to Qin Shuang. “Seeing him really makes me angry.”
Qin Shuang also frowned. “Who knows what happened. The royal family didn’t hold him accountable.”
Yun Changsheng sighed and said worriedly: “In the end, the royal family probably doesn’t take Xingze as their future son-in-law now that he has become a beta…”
“As long as the second prince likes him, there is always hope.” Qin Shuang pursed her lips. After a moment of hesitation, she added, “Besides, it’s not like his glands may not be able to recover…”
When Chi Yin saw Yun Changsheng and Qin Shuang, a flash of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Although Yun Xingze climbed the big tree of Luo Wenchuan, not everyone was optimistic about the future of the two. After all, how could the royal family allow a beta to marry the heir.
In the final analysis, the Yun family just changed marriage partners. But it is very unlikely for this marriage to succeed, and they will still continue being a family squeezed in the hands of others.
Chi Yin thought to himself, the Yun family may be enjoying the scenery now, but as long as Yun Xingze’s glands don’t recover, it won’t be long before he will be abandoned by Luo Wenchuan.
At that time, the Yun family’s Changsheng Mecha Company will definitely not be the opponent of Liu family’s Qilin Company.
Thinking of this, Chi Yin looked at Yun Changsheng and Qin Shuang with a little more pity. Raising the corners of his lips, he whispered softly to himself, “What a poor family.”
However, Luo Wenchuan and Yun Xingze seemed to have a good relationship these days. Chi Yin doesn’t want to offend the second prince, so he didn’t come forward to mock them.
President Liu of the Qilin Company sent a message to Chi Yin and relayed: “General Chi, the fate of our two families is in your hands. You must have a good relationship with the big man who invented the amplifier!”
Chi Yin laughed as he replied, “Rest assured. In the future, your Qilin company will be the first in the industry.”
After he finished speaking, the door of the conference hall opened, and robots led the crowd in.
All the bigwigs in the industry sat in the first three rows, while the media people in charge of interviews and recording were in the back. After taking their seats, everyone looked at the seats on the stage and guessed when the bigwigs1Different group of bigwigs. Re: the amplifier/research institute folks would appear.
A few minutes later, Cheng Yuan appeared on the stage in the eyes of everyone, along with well-known professors, such as, Jin Xuan.
Almost all characters who can only be seen in top mecha magazines were almost gathered at this press conference.
The flashing lights of the reporters lit up the entire hall several degrees like a gust of wind and rain, illuminating the entire hall by several degrees.
At the same time, the number of live viewers streaming the press conference soared, and the live broadcast platform was stuck for a few seconds.
This is an unimaginable thing in an era of extremely fast network speed.
After Cheng Yuan was seated, all the bigwigs in the audience sat up straight, with serious expressions and anticipation in their eyes.
“Welcome to the press conference of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute.” Cheng Yuan’s voice was transmitted to everyone’s ears through the microphone. “The content of this press conference is mainly to announce the research and development progress of the following technology…”
With every word Cheng Yuan spoke, the atmosphere of the scene grew more and more excited. Everyone couldn’t wait to witness history being made.
Not long after, Cheng Yuan asked his assistant to bring up a black box. Watching the audience, he personally announced, “This is a mental power amplifier currently developed by the Imperial Mecha Research Institute. Next, I will personally demonstrate it to everyone…”
Cheng Yuan randomly selected a young man from the audience and asked him to come up to the stage as a volunteer.
The young man whose was named was very excited. His voice trembled a little after he walked to the stage: “Can, can I really wear this amplifier?”
He knew very well that what happened next would definitely be recorded in the history books of mecha development. It would make an indelible mark in the history of the Empire.
Cheng Yuan smiled and nodded, asking his assistant to help put on the amplifier on the young man.
The young man sat in the chair, swallowed, and waited for the experiment to begin.
Everyone held their breath, and all their attention was focused on the light screen on the stage, which displayed the young man’s mental strength.
Those watching the live broadcast couldn’t wait to see the test results for themselves either. Most of the screen was covered by a densely packed barrage.
“Can he really succeed?”
“Wow, I’m looking forward to it!”
“Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!”
“This young man’s mental strength is B-level 56%. How much can the amplifier amplify his mental power?”
In the sight of everyone, the mental power amplifier slowly started.
A small black box that carries the expectations of countless people.
When the mental power amplifier was successfully activated, on the light screen, the young man’s mental power value changed-
From 56% of B-level to 90% of S-level!
In other words, based on the numeric value, the amplification factor of this mental power amplifier…
Reached at least 2.5 or higher.2Each >1 is 1 extra letter grade, and the rest if fractional. E.g., B -> A = 1x, C -> A = 2x
There was an uproar in the audience.
“Damn, that’s awesome!”
“B-level players can directly become S+?!”
“Is this true, the first amplifier is already so powerful?”
“This is unreal. An amplifier with an amplification factor 2.5 or higher has already been developed?”
“I thought the coefficient was at most 2, but now it seems that I really underestimated the Mecha Research Institute!”
“Amazing, the era of everyone using mechas is coming!”
The bosses of the major mecha companies couldn’t help standing up. Unable to restrain their excitement, they stared at the black box like they were looking at a treasure, wanting to go up and grab it directly.
Cheng Yuan looked at everyone and raised the corners of his lips. “Is there anyone else who wants to experience it?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their hands like crazy.
“Let me try! I’ll donate one million to the research institute!”
“I’m willing to buy this technology at a high price. Dean Cheng, let me wear it once.”
“Your company only has this much market value, why should they sell the technology to you?”
“You must be joking. In terms of market value, it must be that our company is qualified to buy…”
“Don’t squeeze me, do you have any respect?!”
The big shot presidents who were calm on normal weekdays seemed very rude at this moment.
Anyone else think those presidents remind them of the seagulls in Finding Nemo? Mine, mine, mine!

Chi Yin looked at the mental power amplifier with eyes were full of excitement. He knew that as long as he could get this technology, he would be able to walk sideways in the whole empire in the future.
Yun Changsheng was pushed to the back by the group of excited people. He was furious but had no choice but to stand on tiptoes to watch.
Qin Shuang whispered in the crowd: “Typically they’re so calm and restrained, but now each and every one of them has gone crazy…”
Yun Changsheng frowned and said to Qin Shuang: “How can they not be crazy? The research institute clearly wants to make us excited about this technology, otherwise why would the announcement be so high-profile?”
Seeing the scene grow more chaotic, Cheng Yuan asked the security guard to maintain order, and then generously named Yun Changsheng’s name: “Chairman of Changsheng Company, please come up and experience it.”
Yun Changsheng was overjoyed. He was so excited that he almost tripped over to the ground. His legs were still shaking when he ran to the stage. “Thank you, thank you Dean Cheng…”
Under the action of the mental power amplifier, Yun Changsheng’s mental power also increased from B-level to reach S+.
Afterwards, Cheng Yuan connected the mental power amplifier to a simulation cockpit of an S+ class mecha.
In front of everyone’s eyes, Yun Changsheng, who could only start B-class mechas before, started the S+ class simulated mecha without any effort.
Seeing the stunned crowd, Cheng Yuan said slowly: “The current technology of this mental power amplifier is very mature, and can be directly put into the mecha production line.”
This was something no one had expected.
They originally thought that after gaining access to the amplifier technology, it still required going through a complicated adaptation process. No one expected they could use it directly on mechas!
In other words, the use of this technology can be realized immediately.
“My god…” Qin Shuang’s eyes widened and she said in a trembling voice. “Let alone the empire, the Alliance will probably go crazy now…”
Some time ago, the negotiations between the Alliance and the Empire had reached a deadlock, meaning that war could erupt at any time.
And this scene on the stage is estimated to make the Head of State sleepless all night.
Yun Changsheng was very happy to see that he successfully started a S+ level mecha. He couldn’t wait to put this black box on his mecha immediately and test it out further!
After the demonstration, Cheng Yuan ordered someone to take off the helmet off Yun Changsheng’s head. The latter touched the box reluctantly and asked, “Dean Cheng, who invented this technology?”
The entire audience wore the same anxiously curious expressions.
It didn’t seem like this legendary “big guy” had come to the scene.
Cheng Yuan gave Yun Changsheng a meaningful look, then turned to look at everyone. “This person… has a very special identity.”
Chi Yin and the others held their breath, waiting for Cheng Yuan to introduce the inventor of the amplifier.
“Do you think he is powerful?” Jin Xuan, who was beside him, suddenly asked with a smile.
The voices from the audience were uniform:
“Amazing!”
Jin Xuan asked again: “Then how do you think, this inventor, should be treated?”
Back in his seat, Yun Changsheng raised his hands and shouted: ” I am willing to give him shares of the company, as much as he wants!”
Others were not to be outdone:
“Come to my company, and we will pay him whatever he wants every year!”
“I can give him a whole building in the center of the imperial city!”
“I am willing to give him an asteroid!”
“…”
Yun Changsheng listened to this group of people acting like a group of crazy robbers with an ashen face, and cursed in a low voice: “Fuck, who is so rich, they can send asteroids…”
Qin Shuang swallowed and said nervously, “This amplifier alone may be worth more than an asteroid. You know, everyone previously predicted that it would take at least 20 years for the research institute to develop this amplifier technology. With this technology, they can be directly ahead of other companies for 20 years!”
Chi Yin cleared his throat and shouted, “As long as this boss is willing, he will definitely become an important figure in the military, and help the military research and develop brand-new mechas. This kind of talent should be respected and loved by the entire interstellar.”
Jin Xuan looked at Yun Changsheng and Chi Yin, and suddenly laughed, with unclear meaning in her eyes. “So, you all think that he should be respected and loved.”
Chi Yin was filled with nervous excitement at the moment, and did not detect the trace of sarcasm hidden in Jin Xuan’s words. He regarded himself as a person with high morals and respect, and said solemnly and earnestly: “I, as someone from the Chi family, never talk big. As a general, I admire him very much. No matter what his background is, he will have a place in the future imperial mecha army…”
Chi Yin knew that if he didn’t strive for a relationship with this “big guy”, once he left this door, I’m afraid the “big guy” would be taken away by people from other forces.
Because of this, Chi Yin directly moved out of his identity as a bargaining chip.
“It turns out that General Chi is also a person who cherishes talents.” Cheng Yuan looked at Chi Yin and said slowly and expressionlessly. “What a surprise.”
Chi Yin nodded: “I also want to ask Dean Cheng to introduce the inventor to us, please.”
“If that’s the case…” Cheng Yuan turned to look behind the stage and said, “You can come out.”
Hearing Cheng Yuan say this, Yun Xingze, who was sitting in the back of the stage and nibbling on melon seeds in a bored manner, stood up immediately. As he tidied up his appearance a little, he whispered, “Dean Cheng has been laying the groundwork for long enough…”
In everyone’s eyes, a middle-aged alpha in a black suit appeared. On the podium, he looked tall and mighty.
The reporters’ flashlights almost blinded Cheng Yuan’s eyes for a while.
Chi Yin hurriedly smiled and asked, “Is this the inventor of the mental amplifier? I’ve really admired you for a long time…”
Before his words were finished, the middle-aged alpha made a “please” gesture.
In the next second.
A tall and straight handsome boy wearing a white formal suit appeared in everyone’s sight.
The alpha just now turned out to be his bodyguard.
The moment he took the stage, there were several alphas behind him, which was enough to show how much importance the Imperial Mecha Research Institute attached to him.
After Chi Yin saw the boy’s face clearly, it was as if he had encountered a thunderbolt from the blue. He froze in place, and subconsciously blurted out, “Yun Xingze?!”
Yun Changsheng and Qin Shuang were also stunned.
“This…” Yun Changsheng stared at him incredulously. “Xingze, he… is he also qualified to attend the press conference?”
Qin Shuang’s mouth gaped open, and couldn’t close for a long time.
Her eyes flickered, and she wasn’t sure for a while what identity Yun Xingze was wearing on the stage.
The others in the audience looked at each other.
“Yun Xingze? Isn’t he the omega who cut his glands before?”
“Yeah, he seems to be the one the second prince likes… why is he here?”
“Could it be…”
In the countless pairs of eyes, Yun Xingze calmly sat calmly beside Cheng Yuan, becoming the center position on stage.
The audience fell into an eerie silence, and the reporters almost forgot to take pictures.
Chi Yin’s eyes were about to b open. Still struggling internally, he stumblingly asked, “Yun, Yun Xingze… Did he come to the wrong place?! How can he…”
And Cheng Yuan’s next words caused Chi Yin to completely petrify in place.
“The inventor of this technology is the omega who was forced to marry by Chi Yin and Yun Changsheng some time ago, and had to cut off his glands at the engagement banquet to resist this marriage. Later, his life was hanging in the ward: Yun Xingze.”
Glancing at Chi Yin and the Yun family’s couple, Jin Xuan mocked:
“General Chi Yin, who prides himself on cherishing talents, and the Yun family almost killed the technology of mental power amplifier at their engagement banquet.”
The audience fell silent. Like a tomb.
No one expected that such an incredible scene would appear at the press conference.
On stage, all researchers looked at Yun Changsheng, Chi Yin, and them as if staring at them from up high.
As if to ask – are people like you also worthy of this technology?
Ahhhhh the big reveal~
