You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 160 Do You Remember Love? (2.0 words to avoid censorship)

The post was instantly flooded with hundreds of comments.

"I agree with the original poster! I'm also from Area A, and I almost died there yesterday! Those little brats keep yelling about equality, let them try hanging a dragon bone here!"

"Exactly! Putting everything else aside, they're really not cut out for physical labor! Last time, one of those defiant pilots, XX, insisted on showing off, and ended up running out of energy halfway through the operation, almost crashing the plane and killing himself! If it weren't for the captain's quick reaction, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"Stop making baseless accusations. They're just 'little XXs,' they can't do heavy work. Their job is to be beautiful, and we're responsible for carrying the burden for them. Just be grateful!"

Looking at these resentful comments, Li Zhe thought that the conflict had escalated rather rapidly.

Then, a fierce counterattack from the XX-type mech pilots was quickly witnessed.

"The acid fumes from upstairs are practically overflowing the screen! If you're so capable, why don't you go and do it yourself? Do you know what energy circuit resonance suppression with micrometer-level errors means? Do you know how difficult it is to maintain surgical precision under 300 times the acceleration of gravity? Can your muscle-brain system, which only knows brute force, do this? If you mess up the entire base's energy system, will you take responsibility?"

"Exactly! A bunch of muscle-bound, simple-minded bastards. What can they do besides complain? Without us logistics personnel providing meticulous debugging and maintenance in the rear, your machine guns and heavy artillery would all explode on the spot!"

"Not good enough stamina? That's hilarious. Last time in the simulation, who was it that got completely disoriented by my 'Cobra Maneuver'? If it weren't for our past as colleagues, I would have shredded your cockpit!"

"Some people from XY are really shameless and blind. Is it so hard to admit that others are excellent?"

The initial debates barely touched on the level of technology and division of labor.

Li Zhe discovered that with the popularization of mechs and talent awakening, humans with XX chromosomes have indeed shown abilities in certain fields that are no less than, or even surpass, those of humans with XY chromosomes.

Their more refined perception and stronger mental resilience give them a unique advantage in many high-G, high-precision mech operations.

However, a series of unavoidable physiological differences still objectively exist.

In prolonged, high-intensity combat and heavy physical labor, the lack of stamina remains a common problem.

This is not discrimination, but a technical problem that needs to be faced squarely and solved scientifically.

This subtle difference, however, became the initial and most fundamental breeding ground for the conflict.

Just as Li Zhe was pondering how to offer some constructive suggestions for this debate from a technical perspective.

A brand new anonymous proposal instantly ignited the entire forum...

The title of that proposal was full of inflammatory and misleading information; every word precisely struck at the most sensitive nerves within the construction community.

"Emergency Motion A-113 concerning the establishment of 'XX Dedicated Safe Shelter' and 'XY High-Intensity Work Energy Replenishment Station' to improve overall project efficiency and humanistic care."

This title is both long and difficult to pronounce.

It was filled with the formulaic tone of official documents.

But the content is even more exciting than the most sensational tabloids.

The proposal appears "reasonable," logically sound, and well-researched, demonstrating "concern" for both genders. It seems like a "humanistic" management plan painstakingly written by a sociologist with an overflowing sense of compassion.

Part One: "XX Dedicated Safe Shelter"

The proposal claims that, given the high-pressure, high-intensity, and male-dominated "masculine" work environment at the construction site of "Third New Tokyo City," members of the XX sex generally face greater psychological pressure and potential "micro-discrimination" and "structural oppression."

Their contributions are often overlooked, their voices are often drowned out, and their feelings are ignored.

To safeguard their precious physical and mental health and to inspire their unparalleled enthusiasm and creativity.

The proposal strongly recommends establishing a fully enclosed, high-standard "XX-specific safe shelter" in the living area.

The shelter will offer top-notch services including psychological counseling, aromatherapy, yoga meditation, and art therapy, and will be equipped with a state-of-the-art nutritional meal system and 24-hour hot water supply.

More importantly, any XY-type creatures (including pet dogs) will be strictly prohibited from entering, thereby creating an "absolutely safe, absolutely comfortable, and absolutely pure" sacred space where XX-type individuals can "find themselves and shine."

Part Two: "XY-type High-Intensity Work Energy Replenishment Station"

The proposal also "thoughtfully" pointed out that the XY members, who undertake the vast majority of physically demanding and high-risk work in the project, suffer from enormous physical and mental exhaustion, like machines that are constantly being squeezed, and urgently need effective replenishment and release.

To ensure their sustained combat effectiveness and avoid the risk of "aggressive spillover" due to excessive pressure, the proposal suggests establishing a dedicated "XY high-intensity work energy replenishment station".

The replenishment station will provide unlimited high-calorie, high-protein "battle rations" (such as beer, fried chicken, and barbecue), and will be equipped with the most professional physical therapists and massage technicians to help relieve muscle fatigue.

The most explosive part is that the proposal also "humanely" suggests that, in order to solve the "most fundamental" mental stress of XY members, the station will provide "one-on-one mental comfort" services provided by "XX volunteers" who have been strictly selected.

Furthermore, it allows for high-intensity combat activities such as "unrestricted fighting" and "death metal rock" in specific areas within the replenishment station, releasing their excess and unchecked aggression in a "scientific and controllable" manner...

These two proposals are like a precisely dropped meme bomb.

It instantly turned the entire forum upside down.

Like a poisoned blade, it precisely pierced the most sensitive and vulnerable nerves within the group of builders.

What were initially just work-related frictions and complaints have now escalated into an irreconcilable gender conflict.

The forum exploded instantly!
"Holy crap! I support it! I wholeheartedly support it! It's been a long time coming! Some idiots are making dirty jokes and telling cheesy stories in the cafeteria every day, making the whole environment smell terrible! We need a clean space to breathe!"

"I second that! Last time I made a mistake, the foreman yelled at me in front of everyone, calling me 'long-haired but short-sighted'! I need psychological counseling! I need shelter!"

"Kinetic kinases, stand up! This is our right! Why should we share a cafeteria with a bunch of XYs? Why should we have to put up with their paternalistic lectures?"

The comments from the builders of XX, as if they had found an outlet, instantly flooded the screen.
