Synopsis

Two scientists from the future got sent back in time as a result from an experiment gone wrong. Only, their bodies stayed there, and their mind occupied someone else's. . . . . . This is a work of Fiction, and some of the characters depicted received a lot of modifications and historical inaccuracies. I don't mean to offend anyone with my depiction of this story and I apologize if I do.

Chapter 1Space Race, Take Two. Part 1: A Link to the Future.

<Warning, the simulation failed, heat redundancy insufficient, the explosion is imminent>

"Try with the amalgamation of titanium and nanocarbon!" This has to work, we don't have much more time.

<Calculation with new materials… Calculation Completed. Viable Numbers. Simulation with new materials…>

"Please make this work…"

<Simulation Completed. Warning, the simulation failed, the titanium and nanocarbon link aren't strong enough to contain the blast. The explosion is imminent>

"F*ck! James, titanium and nanocarbon won't work either. Cassie ran the sims and it failed again. What do we do?"

"How long do we got?"

"Cassie?"

<Calculation of the Detonation time... Calculation impossible, data insufficient>

"She can't determine it! How did this happen? Sh*t, has anyone run simulation before turning it on?"

"They didn't bother, most of the technicians in this place don't care about accidents anymore…" Goddamnit. Since they made the skinsuits more available, a lot of people aren't afraid of death anymore, so many people die from carelessness, accidents or just pure curiosity.

"Well I do, I don't care about dying, I'll just shift skin, but the materials are getting more and more expensive. And we're only losing time we don't have by starting from scratch!"

"I know. Oh, wait, did you try ceramics?"

"Ceramics?"

"To reinforce the link. It shouldn't stop nor delay the explosion, but could help spread most of the heat and reduce the blast radius." Right, I remember they used that with wheeled cars, CMC disc brakes I think. The ceramic matrix bonded with carbon to create a stronger link, reducing the thermal shock on the brakes.

"Right! Cassie, run the simulations with a ceramic matrix composite with nanocarbon!"

<Calculation with new materials… Calculation Completed. Viable Numbers. Simulation with new materials… Simulation Completed. The simulation succeeded, the explosion's blast has been reduced to 1/10th of the previous calculated radius. Warning, the explosion is imminent>

"James, it worked, the blast is down to 1/10th. Alright, Cassie, send the files to the 3D printers and set up the heat shield. Transmit the the files to Nessa for SatStorage as well. Priority One."

"Nessa started the sat transfer. Do we have enough time to install it before the boom?"

"We'd better, it costs a fricking fortu—

<WARNING EXPLOSION IN 14 SECONDS WARNING EXPLOSION IN 13 SECONDS WARNING…>

"Sigh… Welp, at least we have the saves. Right, Cassie?

<Save files sent to sssssssssss-

"Cassie? James, Cassie is not answering!"

"Yeah, same for Nessa, I think there are electromagnetic interferences."

<WARNING EXPLOSION IN 4 SECONDS WARNING EXPLOSION IN 3 SECOND…>

"Damn... See you later in a new skin, James."

"See you la—"

Before he manages to say anything, the explosion cuts him off. An extremely fast white flash robs me of my consciousness.

However he perserved through all these trials! Our Dear Student Wang Zheng has finally started his lucky(?) university life! This is the song of a blood boiling and exciting storm! The most ferocious and heated mecha adventure around is finally here! TL Note: This is a novel about doing the impossible, seeing the invisible. Follow along for a ride across the universe! TL;DR: Not Shakespeare, not complex, but fun and easy to read. Come support! As the translator, I've enjoyed translating this novel and I hope to bring the essence of what the author has tried to portray into the chapters you will read. To sum it up in 3 words: Mechs! Explosions! Science! To be perfectly honest, this novel is about your typically overpowered protagonist who does get looked down from time to time but always overcomes the odds with his own special power. He's abit more mature having grown up on his own and just a littttttttle bit dense. Although it always ends up with him winning, it always happens in an interesting (subjective) and fun way that makes me enjoy reading this. The novel has elements of lighthearted comedy from time to time and I do chuckle at how direct the humor is. It's not as smart as say WMW nor does it weave an intricate story much like Ergen's novels. More importantly, its fun and it doesn't try to hide it.

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings. Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer. Helped by his missing father, Ves has obtained the mysterious Mech Designer System that can help him rise in the galaxy and beyond. His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm. However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation! With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits.
