Meck was born in a junkyard of abandoned ships in the kingdom of Silas, a famous shipbuilding country in the West Sea.
The people who live there rely on finding useful parts on the boat or valuable things abandoned inside the boat.
He was born without a father, and his mother died when he was seven!
Fortunately, Mek has lived in a garbage dump since he was a child, and he also has a lot of experience in picking up garbage!
Although he is often bullied by others because of his short stature, with his superb skills in picking up garbage, his life is still pretty decent!
But Maker has a peculiar hobby that doesn't fit into a place like the junkyard.
Just like reading and inventing all kinds of things.
I often use the money I get from picking up garbage to buy some books, and I also have a lot of weird but useless inventions.
until one day.
When he was boiling water, he found that the boiling water had lifted the lid of the kettle.
Since then, he has been hiding at home, never leaving the door, and he is gone on the road of researching steam alone!
Even the garbage is rarely picked up. I only go out to pick up some garbage when I am hungry, or pick up some usable parts in the garbage when there is a lack of research materials.
Life can't last.
Everyone around thinks that Meck's brain is out of whack!
You don't even have to eat, what the hell are you going to study?
However, he ignored outsiders and devoted himself to research.
He seems to have a special talent for the study of steam. When he was fifteen years old, with his clever brain, he successfully developed a steam engine.
After that, various steam items such as steam alarm clocks, steam washing machines and so on were born under his hands.
But then, his research began to fall into a bottleneck state.
After all, the resources of the garbage dump are limited, and all aspects of processing and materials are problems.
He's completely incapable of processing and doesn't have the resources to make what he wants.
Steam Iron Giant!
The steam iron giant is something he designed to make up for his own shortcomings.
But the design is designed, but can not be made!
For a time, he was in a deadlock, and he could only hide in the room every day, racking his brains, thinking hard, but still no progress!
until one day.
Maker was so hungry that he couldn't take it anymore, so he went out to pick up the trash.
He flexibly shuttled through the garbage dump, and in a short while he picked up a bag of valuable garbage, just when he was about to exchange money to buy some food.
He discovered something that changed his life.
A spiral-shaped yellow fruit that looks a lot like a pineapple.
At that time, this fruit was placed in the cracks of the deck of a dilapidated ship. If he hadn't walked over the deck, it happened that the deck had collapsed after being in disrepair for a long time, and he really couldn't have found this fruit.
After he picked up the fruit, he took a closer look at the fruit in front of him. It was well preserved and there was no damage. It looked very fresh!
It happened that he was hungry, and he hadn't eaten the fruit for a long time, and the fruit looked good again.
He recalled the sweet and sour taste of the fruit and couldn't help swallowing.
After hesitating for a while, he finally took a bite. After all, such a well-preserved fruit does not look poisonous or problematic!
This sip, suddenly made his face change greatly.
It's so hard to eat.
He thought that the fruit was poisonous, so he directly threw the fruit he took a bite away from.
Fortunately, he waited in place for a while, and there was nothing unusual about his body.
Mek just thought that the fruit was broken, didn't care, and continued to exchange money.
Until he changed the money, had enough food, and returned to his house.
Slowly he began to feel that something was wrong.
There seemed to be an invisible field around him.
Within the realm, he can process anything!
It can directly convert raw materials and semi-finished products into the target he needs.
Anything can be processed according to the ideas in his mind!
Of course, there are also shortcomings, which must be understandable and logical to him!
Fortunately, Meck likes to read since he was a child, and his brain is quite smart, and the Kingdom of Silas, as a big shipbuilding country, has a relatively close connection with the outside world. He can buy all kinds of books, and his knowledge reserves are quite rich!
This time, with this ability, he is even more powerful, and he is out of control on the road of invention!
Steam Iron Giant!
This kind of crazy and unrealistic idea has been realized under his fruit ability!
Soon, he invented the first mech, which he called the steam iron giant.
The first one was not as big as it is now, just over five meters high.
It's all made up of garbage from the garbage dump, and the strength is not that strong, only a sergeant to a sergeant.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
As a garbage dump for ships, there are also different forces here, but, after all, they make a living by picking up garbage, how strong can it be?
Once, when Meck went out to pick up the trash again, he happened to be seen by someone from a powerful force and directly robbed him of his belongings.
With the mecha, Mek, in a fit of rage, simply rode the mecha and overturned the entire force!
After that, no one dared to provoke him again.
Later, in order to avoid being bullied by these forces, some people simply gave Mek a confession every month, asking for his protection to avoid being robbed by others.
As a result, he successfully became the leader of the junkyard.
He even has his own exclusive title, Garbage Overlord!
He can earn hundreds of thousands of baileys a month without doing anything, and millions of baileys a year.
With these incomes, his life is not to worry about.
So he was even more invested in the research and development of the steam iron giant!
However, new problems emerged gradually.
The money is not enough!
The more he studied, the more he discovered his poverty.
Although there are processed fruits, all kinds of expensive raw materials also need to be purchased!
It is impossible to produce something out of thin air from processed fruit!
Millions of Baileys simply cannot support his research and development.
So for more than ten years, he continued to research and development while looking for people who could support his research.
Those rich nobles, the king is his first target.
Unfortunately, the nobles and kings he looked for who could support his research and development could not understand the results of his research!
In their opinion, if you have the money to study mechas, it is better to directly recruit a few more strong guards, and you don't have to take this huge thing with you every day.
At this time, he saw the talent recruitment notice on the western poster!
So, he came here with his strongest mecha.
Isn't this a tech house?
This is Arthur's first thought!
"Don't worry, Master Mek, you can study whatever you want here!" Arthur said boldly.
"Really?" Meck couldn't help asking.
"Of course, no problem, I will give you 100 million St. Martin's coins every year as research funding!" Arthur said with a smile.
"Saint Martin? How much Bailey is that?" Meck asked in confusion.
"Billion!"
"Billion!!!" Mek exclaimed in surprise.
Holding his forehead, he suddenly became unsteady.
It felt as if a pie hit his head in the sky, and the whole person was dizzy!
"That's right!" Arthur nodded affirmatively, then changed his voice, looked at the mecha and asked, "By the way, Master Meck, what fuel do you use for this steam mecha?"
Arthur is quite curious about this. What kind of fuel can burn such a big machine?
If he could, he even wanted some of this fuel to use on the Conqueror, so that the Conqueror would not have to carry a large amount of coal every time he went to sea to start the steam engine!
"This is the super coal that I processed with my fruit power!" Meek replied proudly.
"Super coal?" Arthur asked in confusion.
"I use my ability to process and fuse hundreds of coals together, so that the volume becomes smaller and burns longer, so that there is enough power to start this big guy!" Mek explained.
Hearing this, Arthur was a little disappointed. In this case, wouldn't mass production be impossible?
But he soon put his disappointment behind him. Looking at Meck, he was very satisfied with such a talent now!
"By the way, Master Maker, why are there two swords on this mecha? Why not just install a cannon or something?" Arthur wondered.
"Cannon?" Hearing this, Mek's eyes lit up and excitedly said, "That's a good idea! Why didn't I think of it? After installing the cannon, the steam iron giant will have long-range attack ability!"
Uh. I didn't expect it!
Arthur was suddenly speechless.
However, he was still interested in discussing with Meck.
"Master Mek, you see that this seat has no protection on it. If I were an enemy, I would shoot the controller directly. Wouldn't the mecha be a waste? I think it's best to add a layer of protection to the seat! "
"I thought about this too, but it doesn't work! Once you have protection, you can't see the line of sight!"
"Master Meck, have you heard of bulletproof glass?"
The two discussed enthusiastically.
Although Arthur doesn't know how to make mechas, he doesn't even understand the principles inside!
But he has creativity and brains!
After hearing his ideas, Maker couldn't help but be attracted to it. Although there are many things he can't do, it doesn't prevent him from absorbing what he can do in these ideas!
Soon, under the chat between the two, a steam mecha called a war machine appeared in the minds of the two.
Mek couldn't care to continue chatting.
Urging Arthur to prepare a laboratory for him, he wants to make this war machine.
Arthur was also unambiguous, and took Maker directly from the underground train back to St. Maarten. After setting him up, he also gave him 100 million St. Martin's coins.
