Mo Chenyuan stared at the damaged image of his personal mecha and slowly frowned.

"If we simply fix it, it will break again the next time it encounters the same kind of mental energy vibration."

Jiang Zhixia's heart tightened: "What should we do?"

Mo Chenyuan: "It can only be modified... and you'd better not use it until it's fully modified."

He didn't know beforehand that Jiang Zhixia's mental strength was so special. This mecha has no defensive mechanism to resist mental strength vibrations, so it's absolutely unusable.

Even though he had never been on the battlefield, he had fought in wars during his years as a space pirate, and he knew all too well how dangerous it was if his mech malfunctioned during a fight.

If this female were to get into an accident while piloting the mech he designed on the battlefield, would he still be at risk of surviving?

"Ah! Then give me a modification plan! I'll go back and have them fix it!"

Jiang Zhixia was shocked.

It's unusable! How can this be allowed?

Mo Chenyuan lowered his head.

Those brows, which always seemed to conceal a fierce look, suddenly revealed a hint of arrogance as they scrutinized her.

"You're not planning to modify your equipment on the battlefield and then go straight into battle, are you?"

Jiang Zhixia nodded frankly: "Otherwise what? Isn't the point of fixing it to fight the war?"

Mo Chenyuan looked into her bright eyes, his arrogant smile deepening.

"I don't know how you got here, but—even if you don't spend time on the road, modifications still take time," he raised his hand and pointed to himself, "Apart from me doing it myself, even if other mechanics get the modification plan, it will still take two days."

He held up two fingers and shook them.

Jiang Zhixia's eyes followed the movement of those two fingers.

Then the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

Two days?

She can't even wait half a day, let alone two days.

Jiang Ting was still waiting for her to bring back the materials at the front line; the battle would begin in less than ten hours.

"Never mind..." She lowered her head and comforted herself, "I'll use a regular mecha first. They're both mechas, so they should be... the same."

Oh, her precious darling.

Mo Chenyuan lowered his head and happened to catch a glimpse of her forlorn expression.

This royal princess was the female he had met the most times and spent the longest time with.

She is also the most beautiful female.

Undeniably, Jiang Zhixia's features are bright and beautiful, and when she expresses emotions, she always carries a touch of gentleness and softness, making people feel that she is a gentle and soft-spoken woman.

But perhaps due to his experience in the military, this gentleness gradually revealed an increasingly obvious sharpness.

Even though she's standing there looking dejected, you can still see the stubbornness in her bones.

...Does a female really care that much about mechs?

He looked away and prepared to turn and leave.

The old professor is in charge of transporting materials, so there's no need for him to modify the mechs now.

What's the point of him staying?

But as soon as he turned around, his arm was grabbed.

Mo Chenyuan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Where are you going? Did I say you could leave?"

Jiang Zhixia looked up at him, staring intently. "You have to give me the modification plan, right? Even if I don't use it yet, my mecha still needs to be repaired!"

What's wrong with this person? I already said her custom mecha is very complex, and if it breaks, it will be a hassle for the mechanics on the front lines to repair.

Is he trying to slack off?

Mo Chenyuan looked down at her hand that was gripping his, a strange emotion flickering in his eyes.

This feeling...

"……Can."

He awkwardly withdrew his arm, avoiding the female's touch, turned around and walked back to the control panel, turning on the light screen with one hand.

"I can make the modification plan for you right now. Have them try it out... If it doesn't work, I'll fix it myself when we get back."

Jiang Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, gave him an admiring look, and said, "Okay!"

Wow, that's amazing! They can come up with a modification plan in such a short time?

Mo Chenyuan stopped looking at her and buried himself in the extremely complex circuit diagrams.

The old professor raised an eyebrow and looked at Mo Chenyuan's face.

This kid's expression... is he shy??

...That's true, it's normal for young men to be shy in front of a princess.

The old professor quietly put away the list, walked to Jiang Zhixia's side, and said, "Princess, the materials should be ready in about half an hour."

Jiang Zhixia glanced at the time, then looked at Mo Chenyuan, who was engrossed in drawing.

"Okay, I'll come back to get it in a bit."

After she finished speaking, she turned and ran towards the door.

The old professor was taken aback: "Hey! Princess, where are you going?"

Jiang Zhixia had already disappeared, only throwing back a sentence from afar.

"Go find my father!"

I've teleported back, of course I have to see my father!

……

Wu Zhan was in the command room at that moment, sighing deeply.

On the screen was the face of the female master he knew.

"Is the state of the Federation really that bad?"

Jiang Lin frowned slightly, her voice as steady as ever.

Wu Zhan sat relaxed in his chair and sighed.

"Yes, the news from the front lines is that the Federation is not even as strong as the space pirates. I don't know what that old snake Qiao Yan is thinking. He doesn't even leave the Federation base. If it weren't for Lu Jue, Jiang Ting, and our daughter holding the line, we might have really been defeated by the Zerg."

Jiang Lin nodded and sneered, "Xia Xia guessed right. Qiao Yan doesn't care about the Federation at all. He went to the front line just because of the genetic disease..." At this point, she clicked her tongue impatiently, "Why don't you think of a way to force him to go on the field? If he really has a genetic disease, it would be easiest for him to die on the battlefield."

Wu Zhan said with a bitter face, "It's not that I don't want to find a solution, but Qiao Yan is a coward right now. He won't even show his face, let alone go on the field. I asked him to discuss the battle situation, but he just stayed in the base and refused to come out."

Jiang Lin pondered, "It seems that he has only managed to stay in the position of leader of the Federation all these years by sheer grit."

"Indeed," Wu Zhan shook his head, "Ever since that Mu Huaye came to the Empire, the Federation's military has been crippled by half. Come to think of it, only when that kid was around did they manage to fight a few battles that were somewhat respectable..."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the screen almost imperceptibly.

"My lady... when are you returning to the Empire? Where are you now?"

Jiang Lin's expression softened slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips: "I'm in the outer star region, with my daughter's best friend..."

"Bang bang bang!"

Before she could finish speaking, there was a deafening knocking on the door.

The commotion startled Wu Zhan.

Who would dare knock on the command room door like that?

A stammering voice came from outside the door:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...the princess has arrived!"

Wu Zhan: "???"

Jiang Lin was also taken aback: "Xiaxia? Isn't she fighting in the war?"

The door had already been pushed open.

Jiang Zhixia peeked in and her eyes lit up when she saw the familiar and friendly face on the screen.

"Mother!!!"

She rushed in and threw herself in front of the screen, crying, "Mother, I haven't seen you in so long! I've missed you so much!"

"Xiaxia?" Jiang Lin smiled happily upon seeing that it was indeed her daughter, but then her brows furrowed immediately as she realized what was happening. "What are you doing at the base?"
