Mecha Journey

Yan Shenfu finished speaking, but Yang Mu stood there without answering.

Seemingly seeing what Yang Mu was thinking, Yan Shenfu decided to work harder so that Yang Mu could have a clearer understanding.

"Yang Mu, you are talented, but the road to mecha design is very long. Let nature take its course, and it is also very difficult. If you don't have a good start..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shenfu stopped talking because Yang Mu had already raised his head.

"Old Yan, I understand what you mean."

Hearing Yang Mu's words, Yan Shenfu showed a pleased expression, but at this time Yang Mu continued.

"Old Yan, can I ask a question?"

Yang Mu looked directly at Yan Shenfu and said with a serious expression: "With the development of human beings to this day, have they been able to completely dominate everything?"

A word that was completely inconsistent with Yang Mu's identity was spoken at this time. Yan Shenfu was stunned for a moment, but he still said it.

"Human beings are very weak. In the long process of exploration, human beings have indeed suffered heavy losses, but we humans have one characteristic, that is, intelligence." Yan Shenfu pointed at his head.

"We used our own wisdom to create various powerful weapons, and then relied on these things to become the overlord step by step."

"I dare not say that humans can completely dominate everything, but at least now, nothing stands in the way of our development."

Yan Shenfu's tone was firm, as if he was stating an unshakable fact.

Yang Mu lowered his head, his face still expressionless, he just bent down, picked up a stone, and played with it silently.

"Old Yan, you are right. This is what I firmly believed before, but..." Yang Mu changed his tone as he thought about what would happen twenty years later.

"But since half a year ago, when I came back from the planet Hades, I have some other opinions."

"There are all kinds of giant beasts living there. Those giant beasts can easily put us driving the mecha into despair, and can easily tear us apart and take our lives."

"When the overwhelming sense of crisis hit me, I had other ideas."

"Our current enemy is indeed not this stone, but us, who are also human beings."

"But the universe is so vast, can we really dominate it forever if we stay in one corner?"

The heavy tone revealed Yang Mu's state of mind at the moment, and his completely different temperament also surprised Yan Shenfu next to him.

Yang Mu raised his head, looked at Yan Shenfu, then raised the stone in his hand and said slowly.

"Is it not possible that we are just this big rock, and one day, there will also be a sharp drill bit that will break us apart?"

Yang Mu couldn't tell the respected old man in front of him about the Zerg, but the news that was conveyed in a subtle way also shocked Yan Shenfu.

What surprised him was not why Yang Mu was so compassionate at this moment, but why Yang Mu would think of such a thing.

After adjusting his thoughts, Yan Shenfu looked at Yang Mu who had stopped speaking, and spoke seriously.

"Yang Mu, it is a good thing to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but..."

"Those of us who design mechas should not think like this, but should think more about how to make our designs usable by humans."

"We need to adapt to the development of the times, rather than blindly overthrow it, let alone idealistic arrogance!"

After saying this, Yan Shenfu felt a little angry in his heart and argued loudly to Yang Mu.

The gray-haired Yan Shenfu blushed at this moment and vowed to defend his ideas to the end.

"Teacher, that's not what I meant."

Realizing that his words seemed to have angered Yan Shenfu in front of him, Yang Mu quickly apologized and explained again.

"I don't care what you mean, I just hope you can change your mind immediately and apply your design talents to real mecha design!"

Yan Shenfu said loudly again, and both parties fell into silence. Yan Shenfu gradually lost his anger, sighed, and said.

"Yang Mu, I know you are not such a stubborn person, and I am not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. However, I hope you can consider this issue carefully."

"Old Yan, I understand." Yang Mu said at this time, but there was a firm flame in his eyes.

"I will listen to your opinions and make changes, but I will not give up this idea. I believe... you will understand me someday in the future."

Yang Mu felt a breath of anger in his heart at this moment. He wanted to tell everything about twenty years later at this time, and tell all the secrets hidden in his heart.

That way you will be freed, you won’t have to explain so much, and you won’t have to have so many worries.

But this is impossible.

When he is reborn with this fact, it means that, at least for now, he can only bear this tragic fact alone.

Yang Mu gradually showed a disappointed expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, I know I have let you down time and time again. I don't want to follow your advice and be a designer of a laboratory, but stubbornly choose to fight. This may be something that cannot be changed in my bones."

"I don't want to raise my hands and surrender one day when someone else's knife is on my neck. I would rather one day hold a sword and defend everything I love."

Yang Mu said this loudly, and Yan Shenfu also raised his head and looked at Yang Mu.

After a moment, Yan Shenfu sighed again and waved his hand to Yang Mu in a somewhat decadent manner.

Yang Mu stood solemnly, saluted Yan Shenfu upright, then turned around and left the shooting range in large strides.

Yan Shenfu, who was still standing there, threw down the stone in his hand, turned around, and looked at Yang Mu's leaving figure facing the sunset, with an expression of indescribable loneliness on his face.

Just now, Yan Shenfu gave up on something he wanted to tell Yang Mu.

The field mission at the end of this semester was a trial with uncontrollable casualties.

Yan Shenfu wanted to tell Yang Mu about this today, and then let him choose to follow him, so that he could avoid this trial and let this good seedling stay well.

But I thought wrong. The boy in front of me was eager to fight. He was more suitable to be a soldier than a scientist.

At this last moment, Yan Shenfu gave up his own idea and acquiesced to Yang Mu's idea.

He never gave up the idea of ​​persuading Yang Mu to return to research. During this conversation, Yan Shenfu felt that he had new ideas.

Maybe this child can carve out a world of his own without his excessive support.

Yan Shenfu sighed again, looked at his wrinkled hands, and said softly.

"It seems...I'm really old."
