Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 1030 - 709: Rules Are Rules

He pointed at several data points marked in red on the report: "The mechas submitted by your side, including the blue and white mecha labeled as the 'main battle core', as well as the mechas from Lady Catherine, Lady Rose, and others, show stability at the end of the energy core output curve that is slightly below the lower limit of the Level Three standard. Additionally, the construction mode of their spiritual power circuits...is very unique and does not match any known general or custom templates in our database, which has triggered alerts in the safety systems. Moreover, we detected some alloy components with abnormal performance parameters in the structural materials of several mechas, which were not listed in the reporting list."

He looked up, his gaze sweeping across Bai E and the others: "According to the regulations, mechas that do not meet basic technical standards cannot obtain permission to participate. Any special technology or modifications requiring additional evaluation may take weeks or even longer to be assessed. Given that the first phase of the Qualification Tournament is set to officially begin in a month, time is very tight."

The assistant anxiously supplemented from the side: "We have explained that the design and manufacturing of these mechas are based on our unique technology tree and combat needs, and their safety has been validated in previous battles. However..."

The technical official shook his head, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Rules are rules, gentlemen. The Star Alliance Competition is open to the entire universe and must ensure the most basic, unified, and quantifiable technical entry threshold and fair environment. We cannot make exceptions just because a team claims their technology is 'unique and safe.' Otherwise, it would be unfair to other teams that follow the rules."

He paused, giving his conclusion: "Therefore, according to the preliminary opinion of the Technical Review Department, your main mechas currently cannot pass the review.

You have two choices: first, within the next month, modify the existing mechas to fully comply with current general technical specifications, and submit detailed descriptions and safety verification data for all special technologies, and reapply for review. Second, abandon the existing mechas and custom manufacture new mechas that meet the standards at 'Star City' or other manufacturing points recognized by the Star Alliance. Of course, the debugging of new mechas and their integration with pilots also require time."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy.

Catherine, Gong Yan, and others' faces were grim.

The mechas they brought are a fusion of Mine Star's technical essence and Bai E's and others' real combat needs, with many designs stemming from Bai E's "intuition" and their reverse engineering results, differing from the mainstream technical route of the Galaxy Center.

Forcibly modifying them to adapt to the so-called "universal standards" might destroy their unique performance balance and cooperation with the pilots...which is the result of their pilots' half-year training.

If they choose to re-customize...the time, resources, and whether they can replicate the original performance are all huge unknowns.

Elorin scholar's face didn't look good either.

He certainly knew the importance of technical standards, but such a problem arising at this critical juncture inevitably made people suspect whether there were some "extra" factors at play.

Are some opponents exerting influence behind the scenes?

Or is there inherent scrutiny and troublemaking within the Star Alliance against "New Bauhinia", this emerging force?

Catherine looked at Bai E, unsure of what to do.

Bai E listened calmly, his face not showing much surprise, instead appearing to confirm something.

He looked at the technical official, asking calmly: "If we choose to re-customize, are there any suggestions or restrictions? For example, must it be manufactured at a designated place? Can we use our own technology team and some core components or materials we bring?"

The technical official seemed surprised by Bai E's calm demeanor, pausing before answering: "The manufacturing location must be at workshops or shipyards recognized by the Star Alliance and having the appropriate qualifications to ensure standardized and safe production processes. As for the technical team and materials...if you can provide proof of meeting the safety standards for your own technology team, and the materials you provide pass our composition and safety inspections, in principle, they can participate in the customization process. But the final product must fully pass our review."

"Understood." Bai E nodded, looking at Catherine, "Notify our technical team that their primary task has changed. Start immediately with researching this technical specification from the Star Alliance, assessing the feasibility and cost of modifying the existing mechas. Meanwhile, contact top-notch mecha workshops or casting factories with a good reputation and qualifications within 'Star City' to discuss custom manufacturing cooperation. Dr. Helen should already be en route; once she arrives, our technical strength will be more complete."

He then looked at Elorin: "Elorin scholar, please assist us in maintaining communication with the technical review department of the Event Committee, trying to gain some understanding, or at least clarify all specific requirements to avoid further issues."

Finally, he glanced at Catherine, Rose, Kuang Xin, and other team members: "It seems our adaptation training needs to enter the 'mech adaptability' stage ahead of schedule. Everyone, be mentally prepared; we may need to familiarize ourselves with entirely new mechas within a month. But this may not be a bad thing...at least, we discovered the problem early and have a one-month buffer period."

His calm and orderly arrangements instantly stabilized the somewhat panicked hearts.

Yes, there's still a month, which is better than discovering the problem a day before the competition starts.
