"What the hell is this?" Feng Yu finally couldn't help but ask. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"This is a pulse excitation auxiliary module, which is an important strategic material, and the production is limited, and it can only be used by mobile suit drivers of the rank of senior soldier and above. This assistance module is attached to your iron ball and will improve your driving efficiency according to your driving habits. ”

Seeing that Feng Yu was confused, the female lieutenant had to explain in a more straightforward way, "To put it simply, this thing is equivalent to strengthening your personal ability, allowing you to reduce your energy consumption and improve your combat ability." And it's artificial intelligence, it has a strong learning ability, and as you progress, it will also get stronger, sharing a part of your operations according to your habits and style. You'll experience it the next time you play, and it's useless for me to say more. ”

In fact, Feng Yu is still a little ignorant, after all, he didn't learn this. It's just that when he saw that there were still people queuing up behind him, he was too embarrassed to ask more, so he had to take the auxiliary module and leave quickly.

Returning to the maintenance cabin the same way, the non-commissioned officer just now was replacing parts of Fengyu's iron ball. The armor mask on the right has been completely removed, and the damaged vector spout has been completely removed, and it is absorbed by the electromagnet workbench floating next to the iron ball. The power of the particle beam weapon can be seen from this half-melted vector vent, if it weren't for Fengyu's quick reaction at the time, once he was hit in the cockpit, even if he didn't hit him directly, it would be enough to produce a high temperature that burned him to death.

Seeing Feng Yu coming, the middle-aged non-commissioned officer floated over with a smile, and took the initiative to reach out and take the chip from his hand, "Get it back so soon, I'll help you install it." ”

"Thank you! I haven't asked the chief for your name yet. Although he hadn't slept yet, after staying on the safe troop carrier for a while, Fengyu's tense spirit was still soothed, and then he remembered that his previous performance was a little too cold, whether it was from the perspective of age or rank, he was more respectful of the non-commissioned officer.

"Don't be so polite, you can just call me Lao Qiu. You are born and died in the front, and we are much safer than the reserves, and it should be that I thank you for it. ”

Seeing that the other party was so easy to speak, Feng Yu also relaxed, "Then let's not be polite, in the future, I will call you Lao Qiu, and you will call me Xiaofeng." By the way, Lao Qiu, how is this auxiliary module used? I heard from the officers of the logistics department that I didn't understand it for a long time. ”

Lao Qiu stopped when he heard this, and sorted out his thoughts a little before answering, "Have you ever played the game of fighting monsters and upgrading?" ”

Seeing Feng Yu nodding, he continued, "This pulse excitation chip with artificial intelligence can grow, you just upgrade it when you fight it, and then it is you who become stronger." It learns, analyzes your combat style and style, and then grows along that line, helping you share a portion of the operation during combat and making your operations more efficient, but its most powerful feature is the pulse excitation function. For example, if you need to perform a dodge maneuver in a moment of crisis, but the mech is too late to do so under normal circumstances, you can activate the chip. It emits a pulse that overloads the body and allows it to maneuver in an otherwise impossible way. Of course, it can also be used to motivate aiming locks or to instantly increase the speed of the body's movement. But one thing to note is that this is a Tier 1 chip, and it is still very weak, and it takes an hour to recharge after sending out the pulse excitation, so you can't use its abilities blindly, and it must be left at critical moments. I'm just making an analogy here, and I still want you to experience it yourself after you go to the battlefield and use it according to your actual needs. ”

After chatting with Lao Qiu for a while, Fengyu was tired, so he said goodbye to the non-commissioned officer and went to the sleeping cabin to rest.

The lanthanide-class troop carrier's sleeping bay is in the centrifugal zone inside the ship, and centrifugal force is generated by rotation, allowing the crew to rest better in normal gravity. Therefore, in order to enter the sleeping pod from the stationary cabin, it is necessary to take a special elevator to enter.

After Feng Yu entered the elevator, the elevator began to rotate around the centrifugal zone of the central axis, allowing him to gradually recover gravity from his weightlessness state. Half a minute later, 1 g of centrifugal force had been generated in the elevator, and at this time, the inner door of the elevator opened, and the passage into the sleeping pod appeared in front of me.

Fengyu walked inside, feeling like he was walking in a drum washing machine, the sleeping pods were evenly distributed in the outer ring of the drum, the curvature of the floor was so large that the narrow corridor section was like an eighths of a pizza, and the lights were embedded in the sharp groove on the top.

There are four aisles like this, symmetrically distributed in the four directions of the cylindrical centrifugal zone, and each narrow aisle is flanked by a sleeping pod, and the iron ball pilots are in a formation of five people, led by a long pilot, so they are naturally assigned to the same sleeping pods.

By the time he returned to his sleeping pod, the others had already returned, but there were two fewer than before. The two unlucky guys were knocked down in the battle and turned into a blood-colored firework in space. So in the cabin, there were actually only Luo Yi, the pilot of the long plane, and Mike, another rookie pilot.

Luo Yi, the pilot of the long plane, is also a young man, not much older than Fengyu, but his face obviously has a little more of a veteran's killing aura. Compared to Fengyu, who is 1.8 meters tall, he is slightly shorter, with thick black hair, and is obviously not from Lanthanum Space City. said that he was a veteran, but in fact he was only 18 years old, and his life experience was not rich, as can be seen from his previous combat command.

As for Mike, unlike them, this is a Caucasian with brown hair, reaching a height of 1.9 meters, with large pores and vigorous hair, and he looks a little older than his actual age. The handsome Fengyu stood with him as if he was a generation apart, but in fact, the real age of the two was 16 years old.

It was difficult to imagine the appearance of Caucasians in the armies of the new Asians in the old era, after all, the national concept in Asian culture is relatively strong, and it is often said that "those who are not of our race will have different hearts." But in the age of the universe, although the New Asian Republic is dominated by Asians, there is no shortage of whites and blacks, all of whom are descendants of early interstellar immigrants.

After the colonial independence movement in SC0041, the country relied on the galaxy, and all kinds of people worked together to develop and pioneer in the new galaxy, eliminating the barriers that once existed. The same is true in several other countries, so skin color and ethnicity are no longer social issues in this era, but are replaced by a new contradiction between the surface people, who are mainly powerful, and the astronauts, who are mainly civilians.

Seeing Feng Yu come back, Luo Yi showed joy on his face, "It seems that there is still good news, Feng Yu has completed the first kill and was promoted, Mike, you have to come on!" ”

Mike replied with a sad face, "The Iron Ball Man is called the Iron Coffin, and sooner or later I will be like the two of them." ”

"Nothing." Luo Yi patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "The most difficult thing for newcomers is the first battle, and after surviving this battle, the mortality rate will be greatly reduced. ”

In fact, he didn't know that Mike's words were true, as a veteran of this group, Luo Yi himself only participated in three battles, and the actual combat time was less than ten hours, but there was not a single comrade left in the same batch of soldiers who had originally enlisted in the army, and three of them had not completed the first kill until they died.

But after completing the first kill, thanks to the help of the artificial intelligence assistance module, the survival rate is indeed greatly improved, unless it is targeted by a master piloting a humanoid mobile suit on the battlefield. So Luo Yi has confidence in himself and Fengyu, but he doesn't have much hope for the frustrated Mike. However, as long as Fengyu can continue to follow his pace, maybe this team numbered 1533 can become stronger and stronger.

The sleeping pod is small, with a bunk bed on each side of the cabin door except for the hatch, and the bed on the opposite side of the door does not have a lower bunk, but five lockers for the driver to store his personal belongings, and the whole space is less than 20 cubic meters. In addition to this, there is a 1.5x0.5 meter folding long table in the middle, and that's all.

If the sleeping pod is full, the small space is like a can of sardines, but now it seems a little empty, after all, there are only three people living in the five-person room.

And the sleeping pods don't even have a separate washroom, but a high-speed shower room for every ten sleeping pods. It is a one-meter-diameter cylinder, and after the user strips himself and walks in, a high-pressure water jet with detergent quickly rushes down from the top of his head, instantly washing away the dirt, dead skin, and old keratin on the surface of the human body, and then the same rough air-drying process is followed. The whole bathing process only lasted ten seconds, and it didn't take time to undress. In fact, the most uncomfortable thing about this type of shower is not the speed, but the recycled water, of course, the purified water.

The three of them sat dry for a while, affected by Mike's depressed mood, and really had no interest in small talk, and after taking care of their personal hygiene, they fell asleep on their heads.

In the first battle, the 1533 squad had a 40% battle rate and 2 crashes. Feng Yu and Luo Yi each scored a number of falls, which was considered a tie with the enemy. This is the state of existence of the Iron Ball Army, known as the Iron Coffin.
