Washing his face with cold water to make himself look refreshed, Feng Yu looked at the time, and it was almost time to report to the training base after breakfast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Came to the officer's cafeteria and received a free quota package. The fresh fruits and vegetables on the plate once again demonstrated the superiority of the Fortress Army, which in the past could only be enjoyed by the fleet when berthing at the expeditionary force's airport. Of course, it's not that the military department is eccentric, it's really that the fleet can't bring so many space-taking things when it goes out, and everything is simple. The limited space on the supply ship is reserved for spare airframes, spare parts and other combat materials, and food can only be kept as simple as possible, easy to save space.

Of course, Fengyu didn't mind this, but he felt a little headache when he saw Shirley waving to him at a table not far away. He was looking forward to the glamorous and seductive picture of yesterday, but reason told him that now was not the time to think about it.

Fortunately, today is to go to training, the female pilot is wearing a mobile suit suit, blocking her beautiful figure, and she can only imagine yesterday's picture from the slightly subtle bulge on her chest.

After Fengyu, another trained driver walked into the restaurant and saw him at the same table as Shirley, so he unceremoniously approached. This man's name is Kubanoi, his ancestors are from the South Asian side of the earth, and he has short hair that looks very spiritual, and he stands stubbornly erect one by one, pointing to the sky. He has slightly dark skin and is not tall, only 1.7 meters, but his appearance is quite delicate. They knew each other on high-speed ships, Noi was his surname, everyone generally called him Kuba, and they also knew that his ideal was to fly a highly maneuverable MW and advocate mobile suit hand-to-hand combat.

Kuba is naturally also one of Shirley's admirers, but he has a good personality and has a good relationship with Fengyu. It doesn't feel bad to sit at a table with him.

After breakfast, the three of them went to the training base together. The training base is not in the living quarters, but the officers' quarters are accessible by a special high-speed elevator, which only takes a minute to ride.

When the elevator doors open, the view is no longer the warm simulated sunlight of the living area, but a long metal corridor and cold lighting.

Following the signs in the hallway, they quickly found their destination, which was a hangar. In the hangar, four powerful humanoid mobile suits are lined up: the standard MA, the long-range MR, the high-mobility MW, and the heavy MT.

The standard configuration of the humanoid mobile suit team of the New Asian Space Force is two MAs, and one for each of the other three models, forming a mobile team with both offense and defense, which can cope with most situations.

As soon as they entered the hangar, the pilots from the expeditionary force and the Taiya WH theater were attracted by these mobile suits, and they couldn't help but gather around their favorite aircraft and stare at these 15-meter-tall big guys with longing eyes. If the iron ball with a diameter of 6 meters is dwarf and poor, these humanoid mobile suits in front of them are undoubtedly rich and handsome, and the cost of each one is comparable to that of a small civilian spaceship, and it is not much different from the Lanan-class troop carriers.

In the normal configuration of the New Asian Army, troop carriers carry at most a squad of humanoid mobile suits, and more often only carry iron balls. In fact, the expeditionary force's humanoid mobile suits are carried by capital ships and destroyers, with capital ships carrying 2 to 6 squads and destroyers carrying 1 to 2 squads depending on the model. To put it bluntly, troop carriers are used to transport cannon fodder iron balls, and as a high-end combat force, humanoid mobile suits should be on board other warships. That's the difference in treatment.

So at the moment, the pilots had never seen the dignity of a humanoid mobile suit at such a close distance, so they were naturally fascinated.

In addition to them, there was a captain officer in the hangar, but he didn't disturb the crowd from beginning to end, but silently allowed them to get up close and personal with the mechs.

In the space age, humanoid mobile suits belong to high-end combat power, and the management of pilots in various countries tends to be humanized and pay attention to personality. Overly strict rules can constrain the talent of pilots. Therefore, the training base's requirements for these prospective pilots will naturally not be too strict, and they will no longer pay attention to what queue reporting is like ordinary drivers.

The training was conducted in a salon fashion, with the captain officer giving everyone plenty of time to get in touch with the mobile suits, and after a while they clapped their hands and motioned for everyone to come over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Captain Zou Ji, the instructor of your pilot training camp this time. You are all elites who have experienced actual combat, and with double-digit crashes, you will receive basic training and assessment for humanoid mobile suits from today. ”

Speaking of which, his gaze wandered over everyone's bodies, and he was very satisfied with the expressions on everyone's faces.

"I'm sure you've all been exposed to humanoid mobile suits on simulators before, and you know how difficult it is to fly them. Reproducing human body movements on a mobile suit with a keyboard and joystick requires a good spatial imagination and coordination. You may be the best among iron ball pilots, but you may not be able to master the humanoid mobile suit and may not be able to become a qualified pilot. ”

Hearing this, several of the drivers unconsciously showed distressed looks on their faces, and it was clear that these were having trouble with the simulator.

Zou Ji took in the expressions of these people, and silently remembered them in his heart, before he continued, "No matter what, I will give you a chance without discrimination, and the key to becoming a pilot is still up to you." ”

Next, he started from the most basic knowledge to explain the humanoid mobile suit to everyone, covering the body parameters, engine power, mechanical structure, working principle, daily maintenance and other aspects of knowledge. In his words, "Only by knowing your Mobile Suit from every detail can you bring out its best fighting power." ”

If in the past, everyone only intuitively experienced mobile suits through simulators, then the training base is to consolidate their basic knowledge and make them more comprehensive in their understanding of humanoid mobile suits.

Just like a race car driver, if he only knows how to change gears, brake, and step on the accelerator, then he will always be second-rate. The real car kings, such as F1 legend Schumacher, have participated in the improvement and tuning of their own cars throughout the process, and only by fundamentally understanding the performance and every detail of their cars can they achieve a generation of legends.

Many people understand this truth, but whether they can do it is still a matter of personal understanding. Perhaps a pilot has unparalleled sense and talent for controlling the airframe, but is a mess in terms of electromechanical knowledge, and although he can exert extremely high combat effectiveness, he may also lose power due to overuse of the engine during a critical battle, and eventually hate the battlefield.

Also taking racing as an example, a certain quasi-car king of Schumacher's time had to retire from the race on numerous occasions when his engine burst at the end of the race. At the time, laymen always said he was unlucky, or blamed the team, but the reality was that he always switched to using the engine.

Mobile Suit engines and racing engines are the same thing, and the power output of its miniature power furnace is controllable and can be used at will within a safe range. However, the safe power is not the upper limit, and the pilot can overload the operation according to the situation and increase the engine output. Overloading is inherently risky, and pilots who don't know enough about their own vehicles will either not be able to get the most out of their mobile suits, or they will lose power due to excessive use of damaged engines.

This shows the importance of basic knowledge for pilots.

However, it's the basics that stump several pilots, and it's perfectly fine to get them to charge into battle in a mobile suit, but it's a shame to have them memorize the parameters. The most basic parameters, such as the maximum power of the engine, the maximum overload, the maximum torque, etc., are all parameters that must be kept in mind, and they are also required for the assessment.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, the rest of the time is simulator practice, and Captain Zou Ji mainly teaches the pilots some basic operations, such as various dodge maneuvers, the use of melee weapons and the essentials of melee combat.

For Feng Yu, he had already figured out the dodge maneuver by himself before, but he couldn't master a few difficult movements for a while. The real difficulty for him was in the hand-to-hand combat, after all, it was a blank slate during the time he was piloting the iron ball.

At this time, Kubanoy stood out, he was born for close combat, and in the simulated battle of the quasi-pilot of the same period, he achieved an overwhelming victory in close combat, and was known as the "melee nightmare". Even Captain Zou Ji was full of praise for him, and set him a MW position in advance, basically ensuring that he became a pilot, as long as his theoretical knowledge score was not so bad that it was unreliable.

The corresponding is Shirley, the only female pilot in this issue is a natural sniper, and she is also a complete pilot in long-range shooting, and she also booked an MR position for herself early. For MR pilots, melee combat does not need to be mastered, because the MR body itself is not equipped with any melee weapons, but dual-wielding long-range weapons, and the MW of dual-wielding melee weapons are just two extremes, and they are most afraid of being close to the enemy.

New Asia's MW has an alloy saber in one hand and a particle light knife in the other, and the only long-range weapon is a 40mm Gauss machine gun mounted on the shoulder.

The MR is a 60mm particle beam sniper rifle in one hand to fight mobile suits, a 120mm Gauss cannon kinetic weapon in the other hand to fight battleships, and a 40mm Gauss machine gun on the shoulder to prevent being close to the body, which can be described as a mobile battery.

As for the heavy MT, it is an alloy tower shield in one hand, an alloy tomahawk in the other, and a 120mm Gauss gun on its shoulder, which is good at attacking the enemy warship against the opponent's firepower.

Finally, there is the general-purpose MA, the weapon is balanced, suitable for all-rounders, one hand 40mm particle beam rifle is the same as the iron ball, the other hand alloy saber can be melee combat, the shoulder 40mm Gauss machine gun Although it is a bit reluctant to fight a battleship, it is a kinetic weapon, which can penetrate the R particle shield to attack the turret of the battleship and assist MR and MT to attack the battleship.

Compared with the distinctive Shirley and Kubanoy, Fengyu is relatively mediocre among prospective pilots, shooting well, and has the killer feature of "overlapping shooting", but it is not top-notch; Melee combat is also passable, in the upper middle of the thirteen pilots. After calculating his comprehensive results, he was among the best, but he lacked some distinctive features, and was positioned as a MA pilot by Captain Zou Ji.
