The maintenance room was busy with activity. When You Su arrived, he could already see a young man standing at the repair table below. He was dressed in a repair suit, and his straight posture highlighted his excellent physique. A belt around his waist held two mechanical tools.

The new repair suit already had a few spots of oil on it. The young man stood next to Grandpa Gu, and his serious side profile during conversation showed meticulousness. Sensing movement at the elevated programming platform, the two talking individuals stopped and turned their attention towards You Su.

Ying Chenlin looked up towards the elevated platform. "You're here?"

You Su took a few steps, crossed the programming platform, and landed on the repair platform below. Looking up, he saw Theo and the weapon placed next to him that hadn't been loaded yet. As he approached, Theo's chatter filled his mind.

"You're too slow, You Su! Ying Chenlin has already adjusted both weapons. We've been waiting for you to come for the final adjustments. Why are you so slow to show up now?"

Theo continued excitedly, "The styles are an energy cannon and a sniper cannon!"

You Su ignored Theo's verbose remarks. Once he approached, Ying Chenlin had already handed him the data board.

Since returning to the base, Ying Chenlin had been busy with the design and forging of weapons. His requirements for weapons were higher than those of ordinary weapon designers. From materials to components, and from components to structural parts, he carefully examined each layer. During this time, only Huo Yan's weapon had been finalized. The weapons for the other pilots were still in the adjustment phase. Occasionally, when You Su passed by the maintenance room, he could see Ying Chenlin and other mecha pilots, including KID, discussing.

However, the discussion about his weapon only took place around the time of the end of the Qiu Jin mission. At that time, they discussed the utilization of the "Compressed Storm" ability on a sniper cannon. Ying Chenlin had been working on this weapon since before the Qiu Jin mission started.

The ability "Compressed Storm" was a characteristic of the S-level pollutant, the Wind Falcon. It could cause atmospheric changes in a short period, delivering destructive blows to the polluted area. S-level Wind Falcons were not unique; according to You Su's known information, mecha pilots in other star systems had utilized the Wind Falcon's ability to create powerful control weapons for controlling the wind's range.

Wind-based attacks were rare among various attribute attack-type ability crystals, and they were difficult to handle due to their power. In terms of power, they weren't as direct as fire or thunder-based attacks, making them the most challenging weapons to forge among all major attack attributes. Similar to Theo's energy cannon weapon that utilized the ability "Wind Walk," Ying Chenlin also used an A-level ability crystal to replicate it for him. When designing and forging it initially, a lot of effort was put into it by the Border Army.

The data board displayed detailed values for two weapons. You Su couldn't understand the professional aspects, so he focused on the points that a mecha pilot should pay attention to. When he saw the sniper cannon with the newly researched Compressed Storm ability core, his gaze became more focused.

Ying Chenlin walked to his side and pointed to the performance demonstration on the data board. "Take a look at this."

Once opened, the simulated data came to life, displaying dynamic demonstration effects. The sniper cannon in the data started charging, and a solid and flowing wind spiral gathered in front of the barrel until the charging was complete and it roared out, hitting the target. You Su's gaze lingered at the moment of impact. The cannon not only had the effect of an energy bombardment but also featured a small wind blade that spread out in the surrounding area at the moment of impact.
