mechanical court

Evan sat on the bench, smiling at him.

……

After Zong left Weimar, he came to the study alone.

Due to the limitation of space, the design of the study is very small, without any decoration.There are bookshelf-style closets on the left and right waist walls separating the bedroom from the west. There should be books or decorations on display before, but now they are empty.Although he was surprised that there were physical books here, Ivan's attention was not on the bookshelf, but on the machine battle logger placed by the wall.

This device with a crimson luster and a shape similar to a small spaceship occupies a third of the study room. The bottom is a black colloidal air cushion, and the surface is covered with a convex glass cover. A reclining leather seat.

The instrument in front of me is the landing pod of the machine combat simulation system, which is said to be able to [-]% restore various landforms in real space, allowing students to drive virtual mechas and simulate elite mechanics to conduct diverse operations.

During this process, the logger will also stimulate the user's brain in all directions, further enhancing their mental power.

It's a living virtual reality technology, and it's an interstellar version, no matter what, you have to try it!

"Open the landing pod."

Ivan entered the voice password, and the glass cover on the surface of the landing module immediately popped open, and he stepped in with excitement. After sitting upright, the glass cover that popped up immediately closed down, and the space quickly recovered.

Om-!

The light in the landing cabin suddenly dimmed, and there were only a lot of red and green lights flashing in the darkness. The huge data of the machine combat system poured into the logger, as if opening a door to travel through time and space.

"Information loading..."

"Identification……"

"The channel is open..."

Accompanied by the mechanical light female voice, the small flickering lights in the landing cabin went out one by one, and the light became darker and darker, falling into absolute darkness.

Ivan suddenly felt a heavy feeling, as if some kind of heavy object was pressing on his mind, and his consciousness gradually became a little drowsy, and he heard the sound of artillery roaring faintly.

The roar of artillery fire echoed continuously in the darkness, as if it came from far away, and there was an illusion of being close at hand in a trance.

Let Ivan think of the battlefield filled with gunpowder and the dark night sky in the distance, and think of the huge battle mechs fighting under the starry sky. The bright moon, the moon is inconceivably large, with half of its body sunk below the horizon.

Maybe 1 minute, maybe just a second.

With the disappearance of the heavy pressure covering his mind, Ivan seemed to wake up from his sleep, and his consciousness suddenly recovered.Looking around, he found himself standing in a large blank room, wearing a white light armor-style space combat suit.

"Welcome to the era of machine warfare."

Accompanied by the sweet and refreshing figure, a beam of light shot down from directly above his head and shone in front of Ivan, like snow. Fluorescent fragments drifted down leisurely in the beam of light, and a translucent silhouette of a female body was suspended in the center of the beam.Her body seemed to be composed of shining particles. Her long golden hair floated in the space, floating slowly like algae. Her dark golden eyes were clear and agile, and she stared at him with a hint of a smile.

"You, are you an artificial intelligence?"

Ivan looked up at her, with a hint of shock, and asked curiously.

"Yes, I am Noah, the leader of the era of machine warfare."

She answered him politely and gently, and at the same time, there were dense scenes of battlefields behind her, like dynamic oil paintings floating there—some in interstellar space, some on the bottom of the sea, some on the surface of a barren planet, and some on the surface of a barren planet. In the dark and deep heart of the earth...

"Your character level is the initial level, and you have a tracked individual mecha. May I ask if you want to summon the mecha?" Noah asked softly.

"call!"

Ivan is gearing up, eager to try.

In an instant, fluorescent fragments flickered in the white space, and countless translucent lines interweaved in midair, forming a messy and flickering outline, which gradually became stable and clear, and finally became a pitch-black individual combat mecha.

This mecha is about three meters high, with a human body structure, equipped with laser cannons and heavy machine guns, and has strong pincer-shaped arms and tracked underplates.The light armor mainly protects the parts below the chest cavity, and the hollow part of the torso is the driver's cab. When the mechanic sits in, the entire mecha becomes his exoskeleton, and he can control the mecha just like his own body.

Chapter 8 A Student's Duty

Ivan's eyes glowed, and he couldn't wait to get in. Although it was a cheap item that was given away when he landed, it was still a mecha after all. Driving it into the simulated battlefield for a walk was enough to satisfy his enjoyment.

After entering the cab, he froze for a few seconds before suddenly remembering that he had zero driving experience, not to mention how to operate it, and he couldn't even start it.

Fortunately, although Ivan doesn't understand anything, Noah has the function of guiding newcomers.Under the explanation and demonstration of the artificial intelligence lady, he gradually mastered the operation skills of the individual mecha through a little trial.

Unlike the harsh driving conditions of the Shenyuan mecha, operating this most basic mecha is similar to driving a car, and only requires proficiency.However, due to performance limitations, it is not suitable for mechanics above level two.

Forward, backward, raise your head, turn around, walk slowly, walk fast, sprint...

Ivan drove the crawler mecha in the 'novice room' and practiced continuously, and gradually became proficient in his movements. In just one hour, he grew from a toddling baby to an adult with flexible hands and feet.

"It's almost there. The potential of the elementary mecha is limited. If it is developed to my level, it is already considered a skilled worker."

He stopped the operation, looked up at Noah who had been smiling gracefully, and shouted eagerly:

"Miss, make arrangements, I'm going to the battlefield!"

"Due to the limitation of mecha performance, you can only participate in ground combat operations on terrestrial planets. Please choose a combat mode: 1 landing battle, 2 pursuit battle, 3 annihilation battle, 4 guard battle, 5 siege battle..."

"I want to attack the city!"

He chose the siege without hesitation.

"Siege mode..."

"Information link..."

"Landing on the battlefield..."

Noah's beautiful figure seemed to be hidden in the water, gradually blurring, and a huge moon slowly rose in the white room.The moonlight poured in from the sky, bringing with it an unstoppable force like a rolling tide, changing the structure of the entire space.

The entire novice room was shrouded in the cold moonlight, and the pale color was gradually diluted, as if the stained windows had been washed away by the rain, revealing the huge city outside that was under heavy artillery fire.In the end, even the "window" itself disappeared, leaving only Ivan on the battlefield full of flames.

……

The dark shadow of the city was projected on the scorched ground. Ivan looked at the incomplete city wall in front of him, and found that a gap had been opened in front of him. The gunpowder moved forward rapidly.

"Private Ivan!"

At this moment, an anxious shout suddenly came from the communicator.

"exist!"

He quickly assumed the role model of a soldier.

"Our team is responsible for pretending to attack the gap in the city, attracting the enemy's firepower, follow my order and prepare to charge!" The voice in the communicator ordered.

At the same time, the screen in his cab showed the attack route and the lives of the surrounding comrades.

"Yes, sir!"

Immediately, Ivan's blood boiled. Looking at the flame-filled battlefield in front of him, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes and let out a low growl of excitement.
