Chapter 6 Apprentice of the Future

  The two quickly arrived at Loong Eye of Dragon Head Fort. There were two huge floor-to-ceiling windows here, and inside was a large conference room.

  Zheng Feng turned around and saw the teenager behind him looking around curiously. He said,

  “This is the Loong Eye Conference Room, for the leaders to hold meetings! Go farther, and you will find the former residential area of the survivors.

  The central place of the residential area may be the place where you will study and live in the future------The Chivalry Hero Pavilion!”

  “The Chivalry Hero Pavilion?” Gu Moxun was completely confused when hearing such an unfamiliar word as Chivalry-hero...

  Zheng Feng, who was pulling him in front, didn’t have time to care about Gu Moxun. While pulling him to jog, he continued,

  “One floor down is the mecha laboratory. Come on. Take the elevator over there, or we may take a detour and waste time!”

  Zheng Feng led Gu Moxun to an inconspicuous corner, where there was a small and unnoticeable elevator...

  The two squeezed into the small elevator and went down. After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at Master Wei's laboratory!

  The laboratory was quite hidden. If it hadn’t led by Zheng Feng, Gu Moxun definitely wouldn’t have been able to find this place.

  The space inside was not small. There were many pieces of equipment placed in a disorderly manner, and many machine parts were scattered on the ground...

  In the centre of the room, there was a white Individual Battle Mecha about two meters high. The whole body of the mecha was bright white, like a lone star!

  The white mecha was covered with connecting wires all over. The whole mecha had a white metallic lustre, and it wasn’t painted with ordinary white paint. I didn’t know what kind of unknown metal it was made from.

  Gu Moxun, who grew up on Mars, had only seen ordinary metals and the red steel on it! But it was the first time for him to see this kind of rare metal with a white lustre, and he was extremely surprised...

  Each joint of the battle mecha was covered with armour. From the waist up, it was horizontally cut into two flat front and rear parts from the side, which were folded and placed on the front and rear of the battle mecha’s legs.

  Judging from its structure, it was integrally cast. One only needed to sit in from the middle, and the front and rear parts would automatically close together. It didn’t need others or mechanical arms to help with dressing like the fourth-generation battle armour.

  The full name of the Individual Battle Mecha was “Individual Exoskeleton Combat Mecha”

  It was said that the first generation was developed by the survivors in the apocalyptic era, and later, Dr. Wei upgraded and transformed it and developed the famous second-generation Individual Battle Mecha!

  This second-generation mecha made no small contribution in the apocalyptic battle against the evil forces.

  With the blessing of this set of mecha, a soldier could instantly become extremely powerful. All kinds of weapons with large recoil could be hand-held and fired, turning into a humanoid weapon with astonishing fire-power!

  Now, the legions of the Alliance were all equipped with the fourth-generation battle mecha, which required soldiers to wear a tight-fitting soft liner first and then put on the metal mecha outside.

  The soft connecting rods in the liner were used to connect the power device, in order to drive the mecha of every part and provide strong power and reliable protection for the soldiers.

  It can also install various weapons and performance modules according to different types of soldiers with different capabilities, such as common regular combat modules like sniper, assault, missile, energy cannon, shield armour, diving, flight, skiing, off-road, and special operations.

  There were also enhanced modules that had been specially processed and modified, such as the assassin type that enhanced agility, the warrior type that enhanced strength, the armoured warrior type that enhanced defence, the artillery type that installed large-scale weapons, and the knight-errant type that had a balanced enhancement.

  Because the adjustment of the battle mecha parameters involved in one module was relatively large, usually one battle mecha only specialized in one module.

  Only after a large range of parameter adjustments can other types of modules be replaced. This also made the combat of the Individual Battle Mecha form in units of squads of all team combat, with mutual coordination!

  Only in this way can the ability of combat in the Individual Battle Mecha be maximized!

  However, this new generation mecha was obviously an immersive operation, which was completely different from the wearable operation methods of the other previous generations.

  The previous wearable Individual Battle Mecha was operated by relying on the physical strength and reaction of the operator.

  If you burst out with a force of about 490 Newton, the mecha could multiply the force you output through the power device!

  But this immersive one was completely different.

  In addition to having requirements for the physical quality of the wearer, it also had a very high threshold for the wearer’s thinking reaction and perception ability.

  Of course, the higher the threshold was, the power it brought would increase exponentially!

  If used well, it was like a peerless sword, making the user’s combat power soar! If you didn’t know how to use it, you may even injure yourself...

  ......

  There was not much time left. Zheng Feng urged Gu Moxun to quickly enter the battle mecha. The battle mecha would automatically adjust its size according to the operator’s figure!

  However, Gu Moxun still didn’t know how to connect to the network to join the competition and what the task of this test was...

  And Zheng Feng’s task was only to let Gu Moxun put on the battle mecha well. He didn’t know anything else either...

  Seeing Gu Moxun’s confused face, he also shook his head and said he didn’t know...

  The teenager had no choice but to climb in first...

  After getting in, he half-stood on the soft cushion at the crotch of the battle mecha according to Zheng Feng's requirement. As soon as he sat down, the smart mecha sensed him, and the front and rear parts of the armour immediately began to close.

  The two parts of the battle mecha lifted him up one after the other and firmly fixed him in the centre of the battle mecha. The mecha on his hands, feet, and head successively shrank until it was adjusted to the right size for Gu Moxun. The size of his fingertips and toes was just right, as if it was tailor-made!

  After the battle mecha was automatically put on, the holographic projection screen afront the face suddenly lit up, and a very old man appeared in front of him seriously!

  The sudden appearance of the old man startled Gu Moxun, but the old man didn’t care and said plainly,

  “Don’t be nervous. I am the virtual projection AI of this battle mecha. The one you are driving now is the fifth-generation knight-errant type Individual Exoskeleton Combat Mecha.

  Now it is about to connect to the network for simulated combat. Do you understand network simulated combat?” The old man asked!

  Of course, Gu Moxun understood and then he nodded. Many assessments in Mars Academy were simulated combats carried out on the network.

  Although it was a simulated combat on the network, the various simulated data were generally written according to the actual data of the participants and had a high degree of authenticity!

  The instrument analysed, captured, and digitized the operator’s movements and reflected them in the virtual network for simulated confrontation.

  All the weapons and power parameters of the Individual Battle Mecha were simulated exactly the same as in reality. Even the power engine and physical effects were no different from those in reality...

  The only difference was that everything inside was not real and would not cause actual damage!

  This could not only test the military qualities of the new recruits, run in the overall coordination and cooperation, and strengthen their tactical movements, but also ensure their safety.

  There was also no need to set aside a large practice area in the very expensive Dragon Head Fort. It was a good method with multiple benefits.

  “This competition is a tradition team flag capture competition. The system will randomly group them into two teams, the red team and the blue team.

  Both sides can compete for the military flag and bring it back to the gathering point. Or defeating all the members of the other side can also be judged as a victory.

  These are the rules of their competition, and the task given to you by the master is to annihilate all the battle mecha of both their teams!

  This will be your first test!”

  The AI said emotionlessly and a bit mechanically. But it sounded like a thunderclap to Gu Moxun!

  What!

  He was asked to take out two teams by himself, and they were two fully formed teams of Individual Battle Mecha consisting of a group of geniuses!

  He thoughts it would be difficult to deal with just one of them, and now he was asked to handle twenty at once. This was definitely a joke!

  Although these talented senior students had just joined the army, the combat effectiveness of a battle mecha team that coordinated with each other was not to be underestimated!
