Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1393 Training Mechs in the Intelligent Factory (5000 words)
Yang Bo, Xu Xiangdong, and Qian Wuji arrived at the training room.

Yang Bo provided the concept and basic moves for Tai Chi, an ancient martial art.

The remaining task was for Xu Xiangdong, Qian Wuji, and Meng Bufan to work together on the research.

Tai Chi is about becoming stronger when faced with a strong opponent, and the stronger the practitioner is, the stronger Tai Chi becomes.

Xu Xiangdong's position as president of the Alliance Ancient Martial Arts Association is not solely due to his connections, but more so to his own strength.

Of course, having the ability is not enough to become the president.

The presidents of various associations and organizations within the alliance all possess powerful networks of connections, meaning they have very strong backgrounds.

Xu Xiangdong's strength is A+. To be honest, this level is a general level, meaning that anything between A and S level can be called A+.

Therefore, even though both are rated A+, some people may have a combat power of 100, while others may have a combat power of 1000 or even 1.

Some people ask, is the difference really that big?

Considering Yang Bo's strength, compared to those superpowered individuals who have just entered the A+ level, could Yang Bo fight 1000 of them?

Yang Bo first sparred with Xu Xiangdong, and the two started with Tai Chi push hands.

Xu Xiangdong withdrew his strength; the main purpose of sparring was to experience how both sides would use their strength.

Xu Xiangdong was afraid that he was too strong and might hurt Yang Bo.

Xu Xiangdong valued Yang Bo highly.

Although Tai Chi is currently rated at 3S, according to Xu Xiangdong and his group, it surpasses 3S.

However, the highest rating for ancient martial arts is currently 3A.

Xu Xiangdong and his two companions had a simple idea: to first reveal this ancient martial art, and then find a way to promote it to 4S level, or even 5S level.

This is something that will definitely go down in history.

What is the essence of Tai Chi?
The interplay of reality and illusion, opening and closing.

The core principle is to use someone else's strength against them.

The biggest advantage of this is that it requires the least amount of force to deal with the same target.

Yang Bo and Xu Xiangdong started with ordinary push hands, but then they stopped using any moves and the fight got faster and faster.

In just one minute, Yang Bo was pushed away by Xu Xiangdong.

"sharp.."

"Senior used my strength to fight back, which made my arm feel a little numb now," Yang Bo said on purpose, and he was also flattering me.

"Haha."

“You’re already one of the best among your generation of young people; you can hold your own against me for a minute.”

"Old Qian couldn't even last a minute against me," Xu Xiangdong laughed.

Xu Xiangdong just used Yang Bo's strength to directly counterattack Yang Bo.

Qian Wuji shook his head and said, "Who can compare to you, Lao Xu? You're a freak."

Qian Wuji was right. To become the president of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, one must be exceptional, especially in martial arts.

"Yang Bo, after Tai Chi is announced, the association will reward you. What do you want?" Xu Xiangdong asked Yang Bo after he changed out of his training clothes.

“Senior, I designed my own training mecha, but I don’t have the ability to manufacture it. Could you please help me?” Yang Bo did not refuse.

"If it's just about training mechs, I can find a way to set up a smart factory for you." Xu Xiangdong offered a smart factory without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Yang Bo exclaimed in surprise, "Smart factories aren't cheap!"

"The market share for training mechs is very small."

"There are quite a few idle smart factories."

"Besides, your contributions to the association are too great."

"The main problem is that the association doesn't have any contribution points right now," Xu Xiangdong shook his head.

None of the three ancient martial arts associations contributed any points; they all ended up in Yang Bo's hands.

"Then thank you very much, senior." Yang Bo didn't care how Xu Xiangdong and the others operated; as long as he could get the smart factory, that was enough.

Yang Bo then had dinner with the two of them before they parted ways.

Yang Bo was still a little unaccustomed to returning home, as he now had two villas on his private land.

The next morning, when Yang Bo got up and went to the room where he was online, he discovered that the Alliance Ancient Martial Arts Association had added a new 3S-level technique called Tai Chi.

There are four founders of Tai Chi, with Yang Bo being the core founder of Yang-style Meteor Fist.

The founders of the auxiliary team are Xu Xiangdong, Qian Wuji, and Meng Bufan.

This skill not only requires contribution points, but also requires assessment by the association.

As for the assessment criteria, they mainly focus on individual talent and personal qualities.

As for this particular technique, there is no further information available.

Moreover, this technique is only available to members of the alliance.

This caused a sensation instantly. Apart from the secret techniques of various families, all the ancient martial arts techniques in the association could be exchanged.

Now, this technique not only restricts its exchange but also requires additional assessments.

What interests everyone even more is the origin of this technique. Judging from the ranking of the personnel, the founder should be Yang Bo.

Furthermore, considering the connection to Yang-style Meteor Fist, many people speculate that this technique is probably more advanced than Meteor Fist.

While Yang Bo was watching the news, Li Qiubai was being scolded by his client in a newly built villa not far away.

The Imperial Swordsmanship Association was also one of Li Qiubai's clients.

They commissioned Li Qiubai to investigate what other powers Yang Bo had comprehended in the Second World Game.

In fact, Li Qiubai was also a little confused, since the Second World game was operated by the Imperial Swordsmanship Association.

Did the game operators not know that power could be acquired in the game?
The sudden emergence of Tai Chi techniques with such stringent conditions indicates that this technique has long surpassed current rating standards.

Yang Bo was one of the main creators.

Yang Bo's identity information had long been thoroughly investigated, and he had no chance to come into contact with anything else. He only comprehended the Yang Family Meteor Fist in the Second World.

Therefore, it is very likely that this Tai Chi was also comprehended in the Second World.

The Imperial Swordsmanship Association wasn't unwilling to use more methods, but Yang Bo was mostly staying in his villa.

There was absolutely no chance to get in touch with Yang Bo.

As for Yang Bo, he's also an oddball in the second game world.

Yang Bo's game character in the Second World game is currently carrying out the border defense order issued by the king.

Yang Bo's game character is in a separate castle on the other side of the river.

There weren't many players in the second game world there, so they couldn't interact with Yang Bo in the game.

In addition, Yang Bo mostly uses game hosting services.

The people in the Swordsmanship Association didn't understand why Yang Bo did this before, but now they guess that Yang Bo is comprehending a new ancient martial art.

Li Qiubai felt somewhat aggrieved when his client scolded him, because he had tried every possible method but still couldn't get what he wanted.

Yang Bo was watching the news when a slight smile appeared on his lips, because he also noticed that Li Qiubai had been scolded by the person he was entrusted with this matter.

Yang Bo's main task today is to prepare to entertain Xu Xiangdong and Qian Wuji.

Su Wei and the others will not be going to mecha training today.

At noon, Yang Bo dispatched a flying car to pick up Xu Xiangdong and Qian Wuji and bring them to his villa.

Xu Xiangdong and Qian Wuji weren't surprised at all when they saw Yang Bo's five girlfriends, because they had more girlfriends than Yang Bo.

Both of them were very capable, so their needs for girlfriends were also quite high.

After the meal, Yang Bo, Qian Wuji, and Xu Xiangdong went to the rooftop for tea.

"I hadn't even noticed you built a new villa."

"Is this a plan to have one villa for each girlfriend in the future?" Xu Xiangdong asked, looking at the villa in the distance.

"Those are dormitories for the employees."

"Many people are dissatisfied with the development of Marchstar, and some people may take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"Moreover, my territory has many mutated creatures, which can be used as materials for energy potions."

"It's very likely that someone will target me."

"Of course I'm not afraid myself, but I'm afraid the other party will target my employees."

"As you both know, it's not surprising that anything bizarre happens in our alliance," Yang Bo explained with a chuckle.

“If it weren’t for your support, Zhang Bozhen would have been crushed by capital long ago.”

"But this is fine."

"If you encounter some powerful capitalists, you have to be wary of them, because they have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves."

"Zhang Bozhen is also fortunate to have met you. If he had met someone with powerful backing, he would have been replaced by someone else long ago."

"This is indeed an opportunity for Marchstar, but it also presents certain risks. Many people want to gain more benefits from Marchstar's development," Xu Xiangdong said.

Yang Bo nodded with a wry smile: "That's why I'm reluctant to show my face in public. I've been attacked by terrorists more than once or twice, but I've signed a confidentiality agreement."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangdong asked in surprise, "You were the victim of a terrorist attack?" "Yes, after I returned from Pado."

"Not only was I attacked by terrorists, but my former boss and company were also attacked by terrorists."

"It's said to be the Ash Organization, but the specific reason is unclear," Yang Bo explained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangdong understood that the Ash Organization was rapidly gaining negative publicity; this organization was the largest intelligence broker.

However, Xu Xiangdong did not explain to Yang Bo, because it would be more troublesome to explain.

“I have found you a smart manufacturing plant for training mechs. This smart plant has been sealed off for more than 80 years.”

"Including some training mech manufacturing technologies."

"It is expected to arrive in March Star in 15 days!"

"I'll send you the relevant information!" Xu Xiangdong said.

Yang Bo quickly saw the message from Xu Xiangdong: it was a smart factory converted from a cargo spaceship.

It is 300 meters long, 150 meters wide, and 60 meters high.

The smart factory only needs to input materials to continuously produce training mechs.

This smart factory can produce up to 62 training mechs per hour.

A single run can last up to 10,000 hours.

This means that the entire smart factory needs to be repaired after 1 hours of operation.

Repair is also automatic; all you need to do is input materials.

The energy core of this smart factory has a lifespan of 28 years.

This smart factory was used for just over 7000 hours from the time it was transformed to its final storage, and it was not even operating at full capacity.

Furthermore, it contains materials sufficient to produce 300 to 500 training mechs.

"Thank you, senior!" Yang Bo looked at the intelligent factory, which could be completely converted into an armed spaceship.

With this smart factory, we can manufacture a lot of training mechs.

While thanking him, Yang Bo pondered in his mind how to make the training mecha a hit.
Using anti-government forces as stepping stones is certainly a good idea, but it will provoke retaliation from the anti-government forces.

The anti-government forces pose no threat to the coalition, but they are a significant threat to individuals.

Of course, Yang Bo thought this was a good thing. If the anti-government forces retaliated against him, he could take this opportunity to leave.

Staying on a planet means there are many things you can't do and many things you can't take out, but once you enter the vastness of space, anything is possible.

Moreover, once in space, it can continuously modify the intelligent factory and transform it into an armed spaceship.

As long as this armed spaceship does not enter the star systems of the three countries, and remains in public star systems without threatening the civilian spaceships of the three countries, no one will interfere.

"It's nothing. Have you been playing games lately?" Xu Xiangdong waved his hand.

Xu Xiangdong didn't intend to explain the profound impact of Tai Chi, since Yang Bo had already been listed as the main creator.

"There's not much going on in the game lately; my character has been conscripted to guard the border."

"That's why I spend less time playing games!" Yang Bo explained.

"If you have the chance, you should play more games and see if you can gain anything else from them."

"Many of the materials in the Second World game have mysterious origins."

"The Empire must have obtained the relevant information, but they couldn't understand it on their own."

"After the Tai Chi technique was announced, the ancient martial arts associations of the Empire and the Federation all came to us."

"So now is the time to seize the opportunity and explore the game more."

Upon hearing Xu Xiangdong's words, Yang Bo realized that the other party was hiding something from him.

Don't be fooled by our good relationship now; if there's a direct conflict of interest, he'll still target me without hesitation.

Because the elites of the Alliance, or rather the elites of the entire interstellar world, are educated to prioritize self-interest.

The imperial family, the imperial nobles, the federal corporations, and the alliance conglomerates.

The best among them all received the same education.

Yang Bo didn't consider the other party a close friend either.

The two sides are only together because of mutual interests.

Xu Xiangdong and his ilk have sons, daughters, and nephews in their families. Which of them is not closer to Yang Bo?

Xu Xiangdong and his associates also have their own disciples.

Xu Xiangdong has yet to introduce his address to Yang Bo, or anyone else.

That says it all.

Of course, Yang Bo still had to play the innocent victim, since according to his resume, playing the innocent victim was the normal reaction.

"I will!" Yang Bo simply replied with three words to Xu Xiangdong's suggestion.

In the afternoon, Xu Xiangdong and his companion left, as they had many things to attend to, especially given that Tai Chi had just been announced.

Yang Bo also knew that Xu Xiangdong and the other man were likely to use Tai Chi as a bargaining chip.

However, Yang Bo did not interfere, because interference would not have much effect.

After Xu Xiangdong left, Yang Bo announced to Su Wei and the others that he had been able to acquire a training mecha manufacturing plant.

Su Wei and the others were also happy for Yang Bo!

Then Yang Bo used the excuse of designing training mechs to dive headfirst into his own studio.

In fact, Yang Bo had already planned it out long ago.

Then Yang Bo began to gather information about the pirates.

Yang Bo also needs to monitor the operations of the Freedom Front, an anti-government armed group within the coalition.

Half a month passed quietly like this, and then several pieces of good news arrived at the same time.

First is the intelligent factory for training mechs, which is already docked at the March Star Airport.

Secondly, the people sent by the Freedom Front have arrived at March Star and have already settled in.

The third piece of good news is that the Empire has confirmed the delivery of the first batch of three Class A warships to the Federal State of Madhya.

The fourth piece of good news is that Zhao Dongfeng has made two consecutive merits and has officially become a major general.

Zhao Dongfeng's first meritorious service was in cracking down on a pirate group, and his second meritorious service was in personally capturing terrorists who attacked the police station.

The first meritorious service was awarded by the military, and the second meritorious service was awarded by the government.

Zhao Dongfeng became the captain and commander of the sixth squadron of the third fleet of the alliance, and the alliance government also reinforced this squadron with one A-class warship and two B-class warships.

It can be considered an enhanced squadron.

Since Zhao Dongfeng holds the rank of Major General, it would be inappropriate to follow the standard fleet configuration.

Originally, most of the officers in the Third and Sixth Fleets were just spies planted in the military by the Allied government.

Zhao Dongfeng's attainment of the rank of Major General infuriated the He family.

Despite the efforts made by the He family, under pressure from government departments and with the approval of other warlords, they had no choice but to promote Zhao Dongfeng to major general and make him the commander of a reinforced detachment.

The He family is furious, but there's nothing they can do.

For Zhao Dongfeng to become the captain of a reinforced fleet, the first thing he needed to do was to have enough military achievements.

For the military, no matter what conspiracies, contradictions, or struggles there may be, they will not stand up.

Without military merit, this problem cannot be solved!

In the military, military merit is everything.

So Zhao Dongfeng went to Yang Bo for help, and Yang Bo naturally agreed.

In addition, Zhang Han of the Federation's Third Fleet has prepared a lot of standard energy stones and wants to trade with Yang Bo.

Yang Bo plans to make a deal with Zhang Han in his capacity as the leader of the Silver Moon Pirates.

This identity puts Zhang Han at ease.

Yang Bo had remotely controlled the two Class C warships captured from the pirates to a location to trade with Zhang Han.

However, Yang Bo was still in March Star. He planned to first release spiritual seeds to the people of the Freedom Front.

Only in this way can we clearly understand the Freedom Front's next actions.

In addition, during this process, Yang Bo also discovered pirates and members of the assassin guild.

This is a good opportunity to find out more about these people, because they couldn't possibly be here as guests in March Star.

Only then will they go to check out their training mech intelligent manufacturing plant.

The three members of the Freedom Front live in three different places, but they have already made contact.

The three men met in a park outside the city.

Because there are no surveillance cameras in the parks, Yang Bo used to change clothes in these parks when he was causing trouble.

"Hehe!!" Yang Bo chuckled to himself, thinking that these Freedom Front members would become his stepping stones.
