Immortal Soul of Steel

"My money! Damn Youde, what did you do to this machine? Why is the Hi-ν Gundam half-scrapped? What did you do to it?"

"Do you know how much I spent to help you build this machine?"

"Are you going to force me to death? You might as well really force me to death!"

In the No. 1 maintenance hangar of the Lin Institute.

All the staff members were very tactful and lowered their heads or looked away, completely ignoring Wang Liumei, who was being held in Lin Youde's arms and looked devastated, and tacitly pretended not to see it.

And Lin Youde also hugged Wang Liumei, who was dying, with an embarrassed look on his face, and did not dare to let her go at all, fearing that she would commit suicide.

Lei Mengmeng, Raymond, Ye Ling and others stood aside, also silent.

Unlike before, now everyone in Londo Bell knows that the Hi-ν Gundam is half-scrapped.

There is no way, this matter can't be concealed at all.

Hi-ν Gundam is one of the most expensive machines in Londo Bell, and it is also the machine that Lin Youde personally piloted and performed brilliantly. Any slight maintenance movement will immediately spread wildly in the fleet's maintenance class.

Not to mention that the Hi-ν Gundam now has almost no intact parts except for the psycho-sensing frame.

With such an outrageous wear and tear, everyone in the maintenance class will doubt whether they have seen it wrong.

Then a group of people communicated with each other, and after all the maintenance class personnel looked together and confirmed that everyone was not wrong, the Hi-ν Gundam was indeed half-scrapped, and everyone fell silent collectively.

Even a machine like the Hi-ν Gundam could not withstand Lin Youde's combat wear and tear. A group of people really didn't know what other machines could meet Lin Youde's needs.

At the same time, everyone also understood one thing.

The previous battle situation when Lin Youde activated the Hi-ν Gundam's super mode to fight against the Lu Bu Fengxian was only the limit of the Hi-ν Gundam, not Lin Youde's limit.

In other words, the fierce destructive power displayed by the Hi-ν Gundam before was probably not Lin Youde's full strength.

This is terrifying.

Once this news came out, it went viral throughout the fleet.

After seeing the terrifying power of a stone-breaking punch in the Hi-ν Gundam Super Mode, no one could imagine how terrifying it would be if this was not Lin Youde's full strength.

And this point was also undisputedly recognized by everyone.

Because when everyone was reviewing the game, they were surprised to find that Lin Youde did not use mental commands after driving the Hi-ν Gundam to turn on the super mode.

And the power of mental commands has been witnessed by everyone in the "True Super Robot Competition".

Lin Youde did not use mental commands, which means that he did not use his full strength.

In this way, what kind of opponent can force Lin Youde to use his full strength. What kind of machine can allow Lin Youde to exert his full strength, the matter spread among the pilots and maintenance teams of Londo Bell.

As pilots and scientific researchers, Lei Mengmeng and Raymond naturally could not be unaware of these news.

As Lin Youde's secretary, Ye Ling was also the first to learn about this.

It was precisely because of this that the three of them were silent about Wang Liumei's current disturbance and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Lacus had seen a lot of storms and took the initiative to pat Wang Liumei on the shoulder. With just one sentence, Wang Liumei instantly recovered from her collapse.

"Don't worry, Zhao Zheng said that the maintenance costs of the Hi-ν Gundam will be borne by the Ministry of Finance of the Human Innovation Unified Military."

Wang Liumei's face changed instantly, and she was held in Lin Youde's arms with tears in her eyes, looking at Lacus pitifully.

"Really? Can the repair costs of the Hi-ν Gundam be reimbursed?"

Lacus smiled and said, "Isn't this natural? We are fighting this time to quell the rebellion of the Human Innovation Union."

"The losses caused by such a large-scale battle for the country cannot be borne by us individually."

"Originally, this is what the military should do. Now we are doing it for them. We don't ask for any compensation from them, but only ask for some repair costs for the machine. Isn't that a great conscience?"

"Even if the Human Innovation Union's military finance department is unwilling, I believe that the eyes of the general public are sharp, and everyone will definitely stand on our side, right?"

Hearing Lacus's consolation, Wang Liumei's mood quickly warmed up. She wiped her tears, gave Lin Youde a small pink fist on the chest, and broke free from Lin Youde's arms.

"It's good that someone is willing to reimburse. The construction cost of Hi-ν Gundam is higher than previously estimated."

"I originally thought that the cost of 30 mass-produced Ultra Special Soldier IIs could be covered, but when the construction really started, I found that it was not enough."

"The materials for the psychoframe are very rare, and because someone from the Silla Alliance announced that those materials can be used to make psychoframes, which enhance the abilities of new humans."

"The prices of related materials have soared several times, and the prices have reached a very outrageous level. If we hadn't purchased it early, I'm afraid that the material cost of the psychoframe alone would be enough to cover 3 general-purpose battleships like La Kailum."

"But even so, other costs are still not cheap."

"Excluding the psychoframe, which does not need to be rebuilt, all other aspects of the Hi-ν Gundam can be said to be scrapped and need to be rebuilt."

"And considering that even if we rebuild a new machine, it probably won't be enough for you. Strengthening and modification are necessary."

"Therefore, it is impossible to catch up with your future combat needs in a short period of time."

"And it is estimated that it will not be so fast to ask the military finance department for money. The maintenance and strengthening and modification plan has not been finalized yet, and the cost is completely unknown."

"According to preliminary estimates, in order to make the new machine meet your requirements, the cost of strengthening and modification will be at least the manufacturing cost of two La Kairams."

Hearing Wang Liumei's words, a group of people in the maintenance class looked at the half-scrapped Hi-ν Gundam with astonishment, their eyes full of shock brought by money.

Lin Youde looked modest: "Well, it's okay, I understand all this. There's no rush."

"It just so happens that we got a new machine from Beijing this time. I plan to modify it and use it as it is."

As he said this, Lin Youde winked at Ye Ling, who understood and pressed a button, causing the container next to the half-scrapped Hi-ν Gundam to open automatically, revealing a yellow robot about 40 meters in size.

Wang Liumei's eyes were full of surprise: "This machine is..."

Ye Ling introduced: "Super Robot Killer Bai Qi."
