Enter Aoi Hoshizaki, a bold, gal-style girl with a love for code, a messy room, and a mysterious spark. When she moves in next door and discovers Ren's secret, their world begins to change — from quiet club meetings to national hackathons, late-night debugging sessions to secret rooftop conversations.

Together, they aim for Japan’s most elite tech university — and face rivalries, rumors, and the whisper of love in every line of code.

Metal Puppets

The global war ended two hundred years ago, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Nations fought until resources were almost completely exhausted. By the time a cease-fire was called, the ability to return to the pre-war industrial era was nearly impossible. With the lack of resources, humanity declined to a quasi-medieval society of city states. Now 200 years later "Metalmancers" or those with the ability to control and shape metal have started to appear. With these Metalmancers and their abilities to salvage and possibly operate pre-war technology, forces have started to come into play to vie for control, once again sending this scarred planet into war. Mand and Val are two such Metalmancers who have been living on their own for the past several years. With new forces in play and old enemies on their trail, will they be able to lean on each other to survive this new emerging world? ** It's really hard to fly a dragon made of metal. They could of made a bull, a horse, or really any simple device that could haul a wedge-shaped plow, but someone insisted that they try and build a bloody dragon. That someone now had her hands wrapped around Mand's waist and was having the time of her life. "See, I told you this was a great idea," Val exclaimed. "We'll have that field done in no time!" "You're not the one trying to steer this thing," Mand returned. "Now be a good sister and lower the tail so we can get to work." Mand felt Val shift her weight and suddenly become very still as she began to concentrate. Inside the shell of the dragon, a complex system of gears began to whirr and rotate. The dragon's tail began to curve beneath the belly of the construct, until the wedge-shaped tip curved towards the ground. Mand had her work cut out for her as well. She focused her mind on pumping the dragon's wings to keep aloft. The descended tail made the whole operation twice as taxing as it was before. The tail clicked in place and Mand began their pass towards the field below. "Are you sure this will work?" she questioned her sister. "It's my butt too," Val pouted. "You should have more faith in my plan!" Mand brought the dragon closer and closer to the earth. She began to sweat as the ground inched closer. Finally, at the edge of the field, the tip of the tail sunk into the soft earth, plowing a furrow as the dragon swooped along. When the dragon reached the far end of the field, Mand pumped the wings to get them back in the air. It was only when she brought the dragon around for another pass that she realized how hard she was breathing. "See, I told you this would work!" Val shouted happily, kicking her legs out as they approached the field once again. Mand felt darkness overtake her.

leftover bits and pieces and seeds

The leftover materials were the materials that were cut and trimmed when making items. In the field of Hetian jade, seed material waste could also be regarded as a kind of leftover material. For example, the fragments left in the mining process of Hetian jade or the fragments that did not meet the specifications belonged to this category. In the past, in the Hetian jade market, small seeds were considered scraps. There were also scraps left after making bracelets or other things, such as the scraps of blue and white jade seeds. These scraps were usually not used to make fine jade carvings, but they still had the natural beauty and texture of Hetian jade. Although the price of leftover materials was relatively low, ranging from a few hundred yuan to a few thousand yuan per catty (depending on its quality, size, shape, color, texture, integrity, and jade texture), it could still be used to customize small pieces, such as making simple ornaments, bracelets, pendants, and other small ornaments to show the charm of Hetian jade. However, it was necessary to pay attention to the fact that there were many counterfeit products on the market. When purchasing, one should choose formal channels and reliable merchants, and must master the basic knowledge of Hetian jade in order to identify the authenticity.

The leftover bits and pieces were not idioms. It was a phrase that was usually used to refer to the reasonable amount of leftover waste, scraps, and scraps that were not completely consumed in the original plan and design of the production raw materials and processing process during the production process of the processing and production enterprises (individuals), and could no longer be used to process the finished products under the product.

In novels, human-faced spiders could be described as very aggressive and could bite people to death. For example, the human-faced spider in Ghost Blows Out the Light was a huge creature that could bite people to death with one bite. However, in real life, the so-called human-faced spiders (such as the three-tugging spider) were small in size and had little toxicity. They could not even bite through human skin, so there were very few reports of them biting people. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The stamping process would produce waste materials. It had the following characteristics: - Large quantity: The stamping parts factory produces a wide variety of stamping parts. Each product contains many processes, and the amount of leftover materials produced in the factory is very large. - Scattered production: The stamping parts processing plant produces many varieties in large quantities. There are many punching machines in the stamping workshop. Each punching machine has different processes. Basically, each process will produce scraps. - Complex composition: The processing materials mainly include carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and other metal materials. The composition of the scraps is complex. The materials of the same composition have differences in thickness and mechanical properties. The force after punching will also change the material properties. Different pressures and processes will change the material. - Diverse shapes: metal stamping parts processing processes include cutting, cutting, punching, forming, etc. The shapes of the scraps produced by different processes are different, and the shapes and size of the scraps produced by different products and processes are also different. - Quick update: The stamping parts factory processes a variety of products every day. The production of a product produces a kind of leftover material. After changing the mold, the situation of the leftover material will change. In terms of material utilization, the material utilization rate of stamping processing was 70% - 85%, which could achieve less or even no waste production. In some cases, the leftover materials could be fully utilized. In terms of business, Nanpi County had a large number of requests for stamping materials, deformed materials, cold plate materials, auto parts scraps, and stamping waste. Wuxi City also had relevant requests. At the same time, Weijie Die obtained the patent for the residual material recovery mechanism of the stamping die. The recovery mechanism includes the die seat, the collection groove, the discharge port, the material frame, the grid plate, and the vibration mechanism (including the connecting rod, the driving motor, etc.), which can realize efficient and rapid separation of waste materials, prevent blockage, and ensure the smooth discharge of waste materials for collection. In terms of recycling of recycled resources, the city of Shen Zhen had formulated technical guidelines for the sorting of recycled resources. The technical guidelines for the sorting of scrap metal covered the requirements for collection, sorting, and storage. Stamping scraps, as part of the scrap metal, were applicable to these guidelines. There were also companies that conducted project bidding for the processing of residual materials at the corner of the mold center. They had different requirements for bidders according to different types of residual materials (such as Grade A residual materials, Grade B waste materials, Grade B+ residual materials, scrap iron, etc.).
