"There is the experience exhibition hall." Roland is no stranger to the Mecha Academy, pointing to the introduction of the building that looks like a battleship in front, "There are mecha displays and mecha confrontation inside." The mecha display not only displays the original mechas, but also Displaying modified mechas and parts, mecha confrontation not only includes individual confrontation, but also tactical simulation.

It's all about the academy.The Mecha Academy is mainly divided into three departments: Mecha Operation, Mecha Logistics, and Mecha Staff.

The envied mech warriors come from the former, which has the most stringent requirements for students; the mecha maintenance engineer comes from the logistics, and the physical requirements are slightly lower; the mecha staff department mainly studies strategies and tactics, data collection, data induction, etc. There is no requirement for talent value, so it is also called "gold-plated system".

Not yet fully approached, the internal communicator of the flying car flashed and flashed: "The flying object ahead stops moving forward, the flying object ahead stops moving forward, report your identity immediately, report your identity immediately, otherwise our ship will be forced to shoot down! Repeat..."

"ss5179 requests to enter." Qiu Xiaohu pressed the call button, "The requester is Qiu Xiaohu, student number mod7720440068. Today's password is: Eagle."

"Speed ​​car confirmation, student identity confirmation, pass code confirmation - agree to enter. Door No. [-] is ready."

The flat entrance and exit are open like a mouth.

Considering that there are non-talented people on the car, the speeding car didn't go to the extreme, it just maintained a speed similar to the dive of a roller coaster, and plunged directly into it.

The size of the entrance and exit is completely the size of the speeding car, and the maximum distance between the two does not exceed ten centimeters.Being able to be so precise under high-speed driving conditions, if it is not for automatic driving, it will highlight the driver's ability.

Milan could clearly distinguish the faint green light on the door frame of No. [-], coupled with the sudden vibration of the speeding car, at this moment, Qiu Xiaohu set up automatic docking.

Yellow lights flashed in the long corridor one by one, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if they were inside a battleship.The staff on the operating desk, the command desk, and the track are all in green uniforms, which look very neat.

"They are rotation students." Qiu Xiaohu introduced, "No matter which department you are in, you have to rotate in various positions and be familiar with all operating instructions. We pay great attention to practice. Of course, you will get credit for completing the assigned work. There are credit points for completing extra work. Our college pays attention to practice, and its unique feature is that it does not circulate cash. Graduation is not only based on credits, but credit points. There are various ways to earn credit points. Normal classes, exams, shifts, etc., are mainly used for consumption such as buying parts, buying design drawings, asking for accompaniment, etc. "

"Students who only have enough credits, insufficient credit points, or low circulation frequency of credit points, we have to consider high grades and low ability. Some positions will say 'no' to such students." Qiu Xiaohu continued, "But this This situation is rare. Most seniors have a lot of credit points left when they graduate, and we will convert them into bank credit lines at a ratio of 1:100. We all know that the higher the credit line, the greater the discount whether it is travel, shopping or loans .”

What she said seemed insignificant, but in fact she revealed the advantages and characteristics of the college everywhere, attracting outstanding talents to apply for the exam.

"This is an exhibition of school history. Don't underestimate our college. Many celebrities have spent their youth here."

After a hard landing, the first stop to help students calm down and cultivate their vision is of course the introduction of the school, the history of the school, research results, honors over the years, the highest achievements, etc.

Bamboo's eyes fell on the list of celebrities. In the 3D light screen, a mecha fighter kicked his opponent with a 270° roundabout and gave a fatal KO. The door of the mecha opened, and his red hair was like fire.

"——This is my elder sister Antoinette." Roland introduced, "She is a talent with a seventh-level physical strength and a sixth-level mental strength. She is very strong. Unfortunately, shortly after I was born, she died on duty in a secret mission. .Although I haven't met her, Mom and Dad will mention it now."

"Wish you were like her?"

"No, they just want me to grow up safely and live a good life." Roland shrugged, "They don't care whether I have my talent or not, so I haven't undergone very hard training, so I probably won't be able to reach the level of accumulation you mentioned. —but I still want to try.”

"Same as your sister?"

"It's not as outstanding as her. It would be great to be a police officer. You know what my father does. As a family member, you can't be my father's weakness." Roland gritted his teeth, "I want to kill those criminals with my own hands. Caught in prison one by one!"

Bamboo blinked and was caught in a dilemma. Antoinette's parents wanted their child to grow up safely, but her brother wanted to work in a dangerous profession. Who should he satisfy?

Fortunately, Milan stated in time: "It is a good ambition to be able to protect the family." He likes to fight to defend the family.

—Well, listen to Milan.

Bamboo made up his mind.

Milan looked at Roland's hair again, and asked a question: "Your sister Katrin's hair, has it been dyed?"

"Well, she doesn't like ostentatious colors. Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I'm studying genes, and red hair is a recessive inheritance." Milan replied, "I can deduce the hair color of the whole family."

"Wow, Milan, you know so much!"

The second stop is the mecha display, including close contact with the mecha, and the battle videos of outstanding students over the years.

The third stop is the highlight - watching the actual combat.

After all, seeing the effect of holographic light and shadow is far less shocking than experiencing it at close range.

The actual confrontation enjoyed in the experience hall is an exhibition match.Both parties are students of the mecha operation department, and confrontation is also a kind of job rotation.

If you think that an exhibition game is just a show, you are very wrong.The so-called amateurs watch the excitement, and experts watch the way. The exhibition game has both, the way and the excitement coexist, focusing on the demonstration of mech driving skills and tactics.

Of course, the space is limited, and it is impossible to fight with large-scale mechas. They use three-meter-high small mechas of equal proportions to fight in the arena. Actions such as walking in the air, running and turning, whether it is a sword for close combat or a gun for long-distance attack, have all played tricks.

Watching a heavy "rhinoceros" mech floating lightly in mid-air, throwing its hands back without turning its head back, a light "arbor" mecha hit back, its two guns staggered and fired cross-fire lines, Everyone applauded.

The light mecha didn't dodge in a panic, but instead advanced, with a slight difference, it was close to the edge of the fire line, and suddenly sank—the shell of the mecha was splashed with sparks, but it broke through the gunpowder smoke and slid towards the opponent. At the blind spot under his body, the lightsaber slashed, and twelve afterimages were separated, cutting directly at the opponent's barrel at a tricky angle.

Just when everyone thought that the rhinoceros was more dangerous than good, the bulky mech suddenly lost all its power and hit the ground straight like a big iron mound.The gun barrel retracted silently, and Qiao Mu had to dodge only by its own weight and acceleration.

The rhinoceros is famous for its thick protection, and it is also known as the "walking fort".

However, once the opponent is brought into his own attack rhythm, the fatal blow is not very difficult.

The battle between the two sides lasted for a full 10 minutes, and finally ended with Qiao Mu paying 80% of the damage rate and breaking the rhino cockpit.

A wonderful reversal.Roland applauded actively.After YouQi touched the mech with his own hands, seeing the heavy big guy move, so handsome, Roland couldn't help but marvel: "It's amazing!"

And the reaction of other visitors... was actually not as big as Qiu Xiaohu imagined.

For someone who was able to pilot a mecha a few years ago, or even someone who drove a spaceship to face the hail of bullets, this scene is really nothing.

Fortunately, Milan can always find bright spots.Or rather, he was born with a high sensitivity to it.

In addition, he was reminded by the experience of Mina Drucker, Will, and Demreko: Never underestimate anyone.So he is also very modest, as a young man with longing for mechs, even if he asks naive questions, no one will laugh at them, right?

What's more, Milan's naive questions are also mixed with what he wants to know - asking questions appropriately, expressing doubts, responding and praising in a timely manner is an effective social method.

For example, "The rhino's leg propeller uses the Spike F2 engine, so how to solve the reverse propulsion balance?", and "Under this acceleration situation, the mental pressure of the tree on the driver is doubled. Using a Point-to-point decompression springs solve the problem, it’s so ingenious!” and so on.

At the beginning, Qiuxiao Lake entertained the visitors and potential juniors that they regarded as the key hospitality, and they got along well, forgetting about "visitors" and "potentials".

Bamboo followed behind, silently recording: here is a monitor, here is a blind spot for monitoring, here is a new item...

As the Minister of Outreach of the Student Union, Qiu Xiaohu has come into contact with quite a few people, and he has experience in coping with Bamboo's paralyzed face.Generally, such a young man is of the slow-heating type, and does not need to be particularly enthusiastic, as long as he is allowed to taste the sweetness, he will follow him without sleep or food.

Besides, her focus is on Milan. Dean Katrin emphasized that she should try her best to win over Milan as a student.

"Mecha physical combat is very exciting, you can also try it yourself." She smiled and led everyone to the simulator training room, "These mecha simulators newly added by the academy this year have broken the way that in the past, they could only be operated by talented people. In the case of special circumstances, a correction field is specially set up to unify the talent values ​​of both parties to a certain level. No matter the gifted or non-talented people, they can test the operation, and the simulation degree is as high as 99%. Basic content, you can also form a team to fight, the types of built-in mechas have also been upgraded from the original 1748 types to 2384 types, and you can use personally modified mechas for simulated battles.”

Bamboo couldn't help nodding.

Qiu Xiaohu continued to introduce: "Of course, if you are interested in mecha battles and want to try your own level, there are two ways. One is the man-machine test. After completing the prescribed items, you will get a place on the high score list. Reward, breaking the record on the list can get the school badge and certificate. The second way is to choose a battle, challenge the seniors to win, the prize is a badge and a miniature mecha model, with a badge, you will be given preferential treatment when you apply for the college. Mecha The model is a full-fledged replica that can be operated by remote control."

This kind of mech model is expensive, and the college will bear the purchase cost, but the credit points of the losing seniors will be deducted as a punishment.Think about it, if an outsider can beat you who is a professional, it proves that your training is far from enough, your level is far from enough, and you need to work hard to catch up.

——Of course, the chance of this is very low. The seniors who dare to come out to accept the challenge represent the honor of the college, and they will never dare to appear without real talents.

In addition, the credit points can be exchanged for the credit line that is generally applicable in the society when they graduate. The credit line is more difficult than the star coins. It is definitely not worth the loss to spend on the purchase of mech models.Ordinary students would not care about the university and rashly participated in the challenge.

After Qiu Xiaohu's introduction, she walked to an empty mech simulator with a wide open hatch: "Who will try it?" Although she asked, her eyes were clearly on Milan.

"Well," Bamboo looked at Milan, and Mark also looked at Milan. Milan complied with the request and smiled, "Okay. I've never used such a novel thing." He got into the cockpit of the simulator.

"Embed your badge here." Qiu Xiaohu pointed to a five-centimeter-square, glowing white panel on the upper left of the console. There was a groove on the panel, which perfectly fit the badge.

The white light on the panel turns green.

The screen jumped out in front of my eyes, and there were rows of statements, precautions and instructions for use.

While reading the instruction manual in Milan, Qiu Xiaohu also sent an invitation to Bamboo, Roland, and Mark, who had a very low sense of presence: "There are enough simulators, you can try it together."

"I'll go over there." Roland raised his hand. He had an older sister who was the deputy dean. She had already applied for a long-term simulator license, and climbed onto a simulator familiarly.

"Thank you!" Mark cheered, and found a simulator to get in.

Bamboo was in no hurry to act.

He asked seriously: "Can I see the prize?"

——If it is the latest mecha model, you must find a way to eat it.
