Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 1055 The Essence of Intermediate Channels

Hearing Lin Youde's words, the middle-aged mule father replied very excitedly.

"Of course no problem, Mr. Amuro."

"First of all, the most straightforward difference between the intermediate zone and the primary zone is that there are no longer any restrictions on super-type airframes and mainframes."

"Any super body and large MA can be used here casually."

"Different from the primary area, which requires careful training of skills, the intermediate area is all about opening and closing."

"In the primary area, at most one or two large-scale MAs will be encountered in the Fleet War instance, and any instance in the intermediate area may see a large machine."

"So the new mid-level channel players promoted from the primary area will not be able to adapt at first."

"Because the firepower of the intermediate channel is not comparable to that of the primary channel."

"Here, you can see a full screen of light beams and all kinds of strange weapons flying around."

"These are the most obvious ones. Any intermediate channel player who has experienced a game or two can get a feel for it."

Lin Youde nodded slightly to express his understanding of the middle-aged mule father's remarks.

After all, there are Mental Power Gundams and Destroyer Gundams everywhere, even when the middle-aged mule father was talking just now.There is even a Gundam GP03·D Dendrobium in the rear.

That's right, it was the Gundam GP03·D Dendrobium driven by Hu Luobo, who fought side by side with Lin Youde twice.

It’s just that the Gundam GP03·D Dendrobium seen this time is painted differently from the large white refrigerator in Lin Youde’s impression.

The one that just flew over near Lin Youde was black in color and seemed to be driven by an ordinary gamer.

Even Gundam GP03·D Dendrobium has an intermediate channel, and its firepower is definitely not comparable to that of the primary channel.

If we talk about the primary channel, it is still fighting with ordinary MS and MS, that is, between about 20 robots.

The intermediate channel is a carnival of a bunch of 40-meter robots.

In this regard, Lin Youde saw some tricks from the number of mainframes in this battlefield.

"In this way, isn't the mid-level channel an amusement park for mainframes?"

"In this environment, wouldn't there be no living environment for a real body that is about 20 meters away?"

Lei Mengmeng from Z Gundam at the side suddenly complained at this moment.

The middle-aged mule father also explained when he heard the words.

"That's not entirely true. Although the mid-level channel is an environment where super-type machines and mainframes run around, there are also real-type machines that are about 20 meters away."

"It's just that compared to the ease of primary channels, the situation of intermediate channels will be more severe."

"Ordinary real-type mass-produced machines will have a hard time surviving here, so if you want to use a real-type machine here, you need certain skills."

"The players who can upgrade to the intermediate channel basically have certain skills in their hands. Relying on this severe environment, it is very fast to hone their skills."

"If it doesn't work, you can go back to the primary channel. Those who can stay in the intermediate channel are elite pilot players."

"And the ones who can drive real-type airframes to fight in this environment are the elites among the elites."

"Those who can still drive a real mass-produced machine are basically ace pilots."

Hearing this, Lei Mengmeng somewhat understood: "That is to say, play on the intermediate channel, or join the big environment, and have a pleasant super series mass-produced machine VS real series mainframe."

"Either hone your own strength and upgrade from the elite level to the ace level as soon as possible."

"That's the purpose of this intermediate channel, right?"

The middle-aged mule father nodded, then shook his head again.

"Mr. Meng, although what you said is right, it's not entirely right."

Lei Mengmeng asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Aside from these, is there anything else that is different?"

The middle-aged mule father hadn't spoken yet, but the surrounding players began to explain in one go.

"In addition to these, the intermediate channel also has another purpose, which is to help various research institutes and factories of the three major countries experiment with new models."

"Intermediate channels can often see all kinds of strange and unseen mechatronics, and those are."

"If you want to play a real machine body on an intermediate channel, the best way is to drive a new machine whose performance is an era ahead of the super series mass-produced machine."

"Fart, isn't the best way to play real-type mechas on the mid-level channel is to drive those real-type special machines that are not inferior to the super-type ones?"

"That's right, although the concept of a special machine was basically used on non-mass-produced super-type airframes in the past. But after the appearance of Gundam, this concept has changed."

"Since Mr. Amuro piloted the Z Gundam, Gundam is also a special machine, the special machine in the real system, and now we are talking about Gundam!"

The players answered in one go, making Lei Mengmeng thoughtful.

"Everyone stop, we can't hear you clearly."

He took the initiative to comfort the other players, and after calming down the other players, Lin Youde spoke to the middle-aged mule father.

"In short, if you want to play the real system on the intermediate channel, you must either have excellent skills, or drive a new type of machine and rely on the advantages of the body performance to bridge the gap between the real system and the super system, right?"

The middle-aged mule father replied: "In general, that's right."

"Before the appearance of Gundam, special machines did not exist in the real system."

"Therefore, when the same generation's real type fights against the super type, it is basically 3 vs 1 to have a chance of winning."

"If you want to use the real system against the super system in 1V1, you need your own technology or machine performance to be a big level ahead of the opponent."

"But after the appearance of a special machine like Gundam, the situation has changed a little."

"Because part of the Gundam's body will be equipped with various strange systems, these systems will allow the Gundam to burst into amazing combat power in a short period of time."

"So even if it's a 1-on-1 situation with mechas of the same generation, it's not impossible to fight against the super-type as long as they have those strange systems of the Gundam type."

"It's just that there are still a small number of people who can use these special systems."

"But also because they are a minority, once they rely on these systems to stand out, they will attract the attention of various forces and get invitations."

"At present, there are already many ordinary players in the intermediate channel. It is an open secret that they can adapt to and use various special systems and be absorbed by various forces."

"Also because this is an open secret, many research institutes will put the semi-finished concept test machine on the intermediate channel for testing."

"After all, when it comes to extreme stress testing, there's no better place than a mid-level channel."

Lin Youde nodded involuntarily as he looked at the battlefield where fighting had broken out and various large light beams were flying all over the sky.

"One thing to say, indeed."

Lei Mengmeng asked curiously, "Are these the intermediate channels and primary channels?"

"Compared with the novice channel, the primary channel has added modes such as multiplayer PVP, hundred-man fleet battle, and fortress battle."

"Does the intermediate channel have any new features?"

The middle-aged mule father grinned: "Of course."

"If you want to talk about the biggest feature of the mid-level channel, it is of course...reformed~!"

Lin Youde asked with some doubts: "Reformation? What's the difference between the transformation of the intermediate channel and the primary channel?"

"Could it be that the number of body modification segments in the intermediate channel is twice that of the primary channel?"

This is not Lin Youde's wild imagination, but when he played the "Super Robot Wars" series in his previous life, there was indeed such a setting.

In most versions of "Super Robot Wars", the number of segments that players can modify the body at the beginning is within 10 segments.

After reaching the middle of the plot, or after many weeks, the 15th and 20th transformations will be unlocked.

Lin Youde has never played the several generations of "Super Robot Wars" on 3DS, but it seems that there are only pitiful 5 stages of transformation at the beginning, and there will be 10 stages of transformation in the follow-up.

Reminiscent of "Machine Warfare" here, Lin Youde has reason to believe that the intermediate channel will have more mecha modification sessions than the primary channel.

Under Lin Youde's gaze, the middle-aged mule father was a little surprised, but he still shook his head.

"No, no, even if it's a mid-level channel, the maximum number of upgrades for the body is 10. There is no more upgrades, and it's even more impossible to double it."

"The transformation I'm talking about is not a numerical transformation like the transformation of the number of body segments, but a real transformation similar to the real world."

Lin Youde frowned slightly: "A real transformation?"

The middle-aged mule father replied: "That's right, it's the real transformation."

"Take my perfect Gundam as an example. This machine is essentially an upgrade from the original Gundam with perfect accessories."

"I believe that Mr. Amuro, who was the first to drive Yuanzu Gundam and Perfect Gundam, should be the clearest."

While Lin Youde nodded, the middle-aged mule father continued to explain.

"Original Gundam is essentially a training aircraft similar to the real Jijubing I. Except for the amazing defensive power of the Gundam Nim alloy, everything else is basically the same."

"Even with the addition of perfect accessories, the performance is still at the level of a 1.5th generation machine, which is not at all comparable to a domestically produced machine like Jishubing II."

"And the reason why I was able to open this machine to the intermediate channel is not because of my own excellent operation level. It is because of the major modification I made to this machine."

"Similar to the transformation in reality, I only kept the appearance of Perfect Gundam."

"Its internal power furnace, skeleton, energy conduction system, and enemy detection radar, all of which I use are the latest versions of the technology in the CE world."

"Even the non-mass-produced Super Alloy Z for the Majin Z, I put it on Perfect Gundam."

"It has to be said that the weight of the Super Alloy Z, which is a super series, perfectly fits the normal load of Gundam, and can be seamlessly replaced by Gundamium Alloy."

"Relying on these modifications, my Perfect Gundam can compete with super-type airframes and various mainframes in the mid-level channel."

"It's a pity that the probability of obtaining the photon power furnace in the game is too low, and it is too expensive to buy in the mall."

"Otherwise, I would like to replace the nuclear reactor in the CE world with a photon power reactor to further increase energy output and further increase firepower."

After listening to the words of the middle-aged mule father, Lin Youde finally understood what the so-called transformation of the intermediate channel meant.

The biggest difference between the primary channel and the intermediate channel is not the overflow of firepower caused by the gathering of various mainframes and super-type machines.

The biggest difference between the two is that they can freely modify the body and magically modify the body they want.

Just like playing glue in the real world, the primary channel can only use the finished product that has been assembled, add some matching outfits, or use reinforced parts to replace the next-door armament.It is a minor correction.

The intermediate channel is assembled from scratch, you can use any parts you have to modify and assemble the body you want.

At this time, Lin Youde sighed sincerely.

"Sure enough, this is a game..."

Hearing Lin Youde's exclamation, the middle-aged mule father echoed.

"Yes, this is a game. "Machine Warfare" is a game from the beginning to the end."

"Although this game has a special origin, some places can still affect the real world."

"But at its core, it's still a game."

The middle-aged mule father just echoed it from the player's point of view.

But Lei Mengmeng understood that Lin Youde actually considered and sighed from the perspective of scientific researchers and combatants.

Because Lin Youde is both a scientific researcher and a combatant, his view of machine warfare will naturally deviate from the original game cognition and turn into a special way of looking at it.

Especially after Lin Youde brought out Lux from the game, this effect became more obvious.

A long time ago, Lin Youde had chatted with Lei Mengmeng in private.

Lin Youde's primary channel has obtained so many aircraft materials, among them, apart from the first-generation and second-generation aircraft, there are even the third-generation and fourth-generation aircraft that have not been developed in reality, and the Hi-ν Gundam (manatee) that is suspected to be the fifth-generation aircraft Gundam) are out.

Of course, Lin Youde was given special care by Amuro Lei and others, which is a special case among special cases.

But Lin Youde thinks that as long as the time is long enough, other people in the junior channel will be able to get the information of the third-generation machine sooner or later.

And the primary channel can obtain the information of the third-generation mobile phone, so shouldn't the intermediate channel be full of information on the fourth-generation and fifth-generation mobile phones?
However, there were no fourth-generation and fifth-generation machines in the real world before. There is a very obvious problem here.

Lei Mengmeng didn't go deep into it before, because she didn't think it was necessary.After all, in reality, the third-generation mobile phones have not yet been produced. It is simply mediocre to think about why the intermediate channels do not have the data of the fourth-generation and fifth-generation mobile phones.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in art, and she has her own things to be busy with.Obtaining the body information is the responsibility of other people, and there is no need for her to waste time.

She has too many things to do, and she has no time to waste in these places.

Now, this layer of doubt has finally been solved.

The intermediate channel is completely different from the primary channel, and it takes the path of free magic modification of the body.

In the intermediate channel of the Mandi magic modification machine, it is impossible to rely on the similar method of the primary channel to unlock the new follow-up body.

Because the body modified by the player has no follow-up body at all.

Without the follow-up body, the data naturally would not exist.

It is impossible for the player to obtain the data of the aircraft that is not in "Machine Warfare".

After understanding the difference between the essence of the intermediate channel and the primary channel, both Lin Youde and Lei Mengmeng had a new problem.

'Since the intermediate channel is taking the path of free magic reform, training skills, and high firepower. '

'Is the advanced channel different from the intermediate channel, with special gameplay or circumstances? '
