The venue for the Kurno race is a venue built inside a small crater. There is a natural semi-enclosed space, which has been appropriately modified by engineering robots.

The bottom of the crater is relatively flat, and a steel fence has been erected around it. This was originally a platform for mecha operation teaching.

To this day, Tony Stark has not released his Combat Steel Armor, and almost no official has used it.

And when the Heavenly Sword Bureau planned to establish a space force, there were two ways to choose. One is the path of a traditional space warship, based on the Ark, to be transformed.

Equipped with armor, weapons, and more powerful engines, it becomes a primary space battleship. However, the firepower and solidity of such a battleship are a problem.

Because the designer of the Ark originally designed it by Tony himself. At that time, Li Jie did not take out the drawings of the starship for Tony to study and reference. The Ark spacecraft, which relies entirely on personal design and exploration, is already a spaceship that can be called black technology for the earth.

But used to fight in space? Sorry, a Viking-class warship controlled by Li Jie can blow up a hundred of these warships.

In terms of design ideas, the Boat was not designed for combat in the first place, and neither mobility nor armor strength was enough. It's like a wooden fishing boat with a 35-millimeter cannon that doesn't pretend to be a littoral combat ship.

A real armed speedboat can tear this improvised combat ship to shreds.

Tony Stark has only been working on the Ark for less than two years, although he has now built a lot of real space warships and figured out a lot of the tricks to it.

But he couldn't spit out all the techniques he had in one go. Because this is too strange, as if someone who just learned how to make a bird system the day before yesterday will make a Vulcan cannon the next day.

Therefore, although the new space force warship has made a lot of improvements, it is still within the range that earthlings can understand. did not directly stride into the level of the Venus fleet.

And this kind of fleet is very strong for the earthlings, but it is far from enough for the people of the Illuminati who really know what danger the earth will face now.

Although the strength of the Venus fleet is still gradually increasing, and Li Jie has made contact with the Black Bolt King for the second time and reached a preliminary exchange of intentions. But the earthlings still have to strengthen themselves and use a little more strength.

Therefore, there is a second way, that is, to develop a universal space mecha. At that time, Li Jie said excitedly, "Are we finally going to make a Gundam MS?!"

However, as soon as this claim was raised, Tony retorted: "Am I going to design something stupid?"

As a result, the cosmic universal steel armor ms-01 [Space Guardian] armor was designed, which was born from the MK5 steel armor.

Now Tony's armor has been iterated to the stage of black gold nano armor, and it has long abandoned the traditional titanium alloy or the solid metal stage of titanium magnesium alloy. In terms of scientific and technological content and force intensity, the black gold armor has completely thrown off the traditional steel armor by several levels.

Now Tony is not afraid that others will use the steel armor he designed before to be done bad or something. Because in this world, he has another group of solid and trustworthy friends.

There is a ruthless guy who will definitely help him plug the possible leaks.

When the space force's warships can carry a group of such steel warriors inside, then the combat effectiveness becomes very objective. Because they are small and highly mobile. It is difficult to capture and aim in the vast universe, and the firepower is very strong.

And now Kurno is wearing an MS-01 [Space Guardian - Training] armor. This is specifically for training for these rookies.

The way to play is very simple, and all of this training armor has an energy bar. Both sides use professional training weapons, and they don't really hurt anyone inside the armor.

And by hitting, shooting, etc., to reduce the opponent's energy bar. When the value of the energy bar reaches zero, one side cannot move. In other words, the other party was defeated. Each mech has a smart counter inside it that counts the damage that the opponent can inflict.

This kind of competition is very straightforward, and it tests the operator's control of the mecha in an all-round way.

In fact, most of the people selected to participate in the formation of the Space Force have undergone training. Although none of them had touched the real [Space Guardian Warframe], they all trained accordingly with the [Elf Type II] exterior skeleton produced by the Osborne Group.

Although the MS-01 was designed by Tony, it was eventually produced by the Osborne Group. So this kind of training should be of some use.

Kurno's match is simple and straightforward, whoever is defeated first will lose. The Russian cosmonaut appears to have a few friends, and several people who know him are cheering him on from the sidelines.

"Zhukov! Kick him in the ass of a layman!" "The Russian cosmonaut has the name of a World War II famous commander. And many people seem to be optimistic about Zhukov.

Captain Rogers stood by and didn't stop them, a common occurrence in the military. Being in the army is a place to eat by skill. Only those who have the ability deserve to be respected. Whether or not Kurno can fit into the collective depends on his own ability.

And inside the field, Kurno took a deep breath. The feeling of tension became unusually calm after wearing the armor.

He had a feeling, a feeling that he had never said to anyone. When he put on the mech for the first time, he felt a sense of stability. It's like throwing yourself into your mother's arms.

This sensation is unusually warm and familiar. He didn't even know why this cold iron armor could give him such a warm feeling. Staying in the mecha, he felt that hundreds of millions of cells in his body were soaked.

It was as if they were supposed to be surrounded by heavy iron armor, and they only got used to it a little, as if they knew exactly how to operate the mech.

It's obviously the first time I've touched this mecha, and I've only driven a construction mecha before. Although they are all designed by Tony, the difference between the two is difficult to calculate.

Because both of them are rookies, this competition did not provide more and more complex weapons and rules. The weapons are palm cannons and short swords hidden in arm armor.

Zhukov adjusted his condition in the field, and he was very good at operating the elven armor. That's why they stand out in the selection. However, the performance of the MS-01 Warframe is much better than that of the Elf Warframe.

And because the place of this competition is the moon, Zhukov needs to be more careful. The gravitational pull of the Moon is only one-sixth that of the Earth, and many of the tactical actions that can be done on the Earth will be deformed by the Moon.

The amount of strength you are used to must also be adjusted. None of you here have any experience of fighting in the universe. So after entering the arena, Zhukov adjusted the output of the armor to 50%.

Because he was afraid that if he rushed too hard after a while, he would rush out of the steel wall directly, and he would lose it. If you lose in this humiliating way, then you will be too embarrassed.

Defeating Kurno Zhukov didn't feel like a challenge, it was a walk at best. Does a person who has only driven an engineering mech know what combat is?

So when Captain Rogers stood inside the base and said, "Let's go!" Zhukov did not rush forward to fight Kurno, but chose to beat the layman out with a palm cannon.

He believed that this layman probably didn't know how to use the palm cannon, but speaking of which, he wasn't particularly familiar with this armor, so it was best to solve the battle with a long-range attack.

So Zhukov began to use the palm cannon to start firing at Kurno, and a series of blue-white energy impacts were released from Zhukov's armor's hand.

The kid on the other side really doesn't seem to know how to use the palm cannon, and he hasn't started to fight back until now. Zhukov thought to himself that it was so.

In order to knock Kurno out as soon as possible, Zhukov increased the frequency of firing. He's just standing there and shooting.

Because Kurno looked exhausted. But as time passed, Zhukov felt that it was getting harder and harder for the kid on the other side to hit.

Captain Rogers, who was standing in the base and watching the two fight, couldn't help but say, "What an ugly battle mode." If Tony Stark is like waltzing in the middle of a war when he fights with the Iron Armor. Then it's like they're tap-dancing with a weight of 500 pounds on their backs. Captain Rogers shook his head.

And the elites of various countries who originally applauded Zhukov in the base have calmed down. Because Captain Rogers' evaluation is very strict, these people actually don't think that they will be much better than Zhukov. They're all rookies.

But as time went on, Captain Rodgers looked at Kurno's side and slowly started to get interested. He went from dodging Zhukov's firepower at the beginning, to slowly stabilizing his body and effectively dodging attacks at the beginning, and now he seems to have mastered the essence of flexibility.

Kurno manipulated the warframe and began to dodge like Limbo microstep. No matter how dense and fierce Zhukov's firepower was, it just couldn't hit him.

Inside the warframe, Kurno took a deep breath: "Okay, I finally know the performance of this mech. Adjust the output, one hundred and twenty percent, and prepare to start a counterattack. ”

Zhukov was a little upset, although he repeatedly pushed Kurno back, and hit him several times. But he never forced him out of the circle, nor did he use up his energy bar. If he continues to release the palm cannon like this, it is very likely that his energy has been exhausted and he has not been solved.

Zhukov glanced at the parameters of his energy bar, and sure enough, only half of it was left. And Kurno's energy bar is at least two-thirds left. Speaking of which, his consumption is even greater than his!

Zhukov stopped shooting, he needed to use melee combat to solve the battle, otherwise it would not look good even if he won like this. And this kid is too good at hiding. If you run out of energy first, it will be ugly.

Just as Zhukov stopped shooting and was about to start a melee fight, Kurnu seized the opportunity to counterattack. The 120% output of the reactor instantly gushed out a huge amount of energy.

The jetpack behind the mech emitted a violent orange light, and Kurno's mech had already killed him while Zhukov was still adjusting the dagger.

"How is that possible?!" Zhukov's surprise was not over, and Kurno's punch had already hit Zhukov's armor solidly.

One hundred and twenty percent of the output, the strength of the fist is like a landslide and tsunami. On the Moon, which has only one-sixth of the Earth's gravity, Zhukov was shot out like a meteor, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Captain Rogers, who was already bored to the point of falling asleep, came to his senses at this time, and he slapped his face: "Beautiful!" He turned to the other members and said, "I think Kurno might be able to be the team leader." What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other.
