Three days later, the All-Union Student Mecha Creative Contest officially kicked off. This is a league-wide live-streamed student event. As a member of the participating team, Yilan was fortunate to follow Instructor Zhou to participate in the opening ceremony.

There was no magnificent scene in her imagination, and there was no gorgeous and dazzling walking performance of the mecha, all the participating teams appeared one by one, and after a short introduction, it finally ended with a song "Distant Starry Sky", only the tune, no lyrics. It is said that this timeless classic will never have an official lyrics, because the lyrics are to be left for posterity, as proof that dreams never stop.

Yilan and Lu Xun followed Instructor Zhou and lined up at the front of the line. When she was waiting to make her appearance, she was nervous. She's never been on camera, it's for the whole league to see, what if she can't hold up the jokes. Lu Xun heard her keep inhaling and exhaling on the side, and turned his head sideways and whispered to her, "Don't be nervous, it'll be over soon." She hummed softly in gratitude.

When the ending song "Distant Starry Sky" sounded, the lights of the audience dimmed, and the holographic image of the universe and space floated, Yilan seemed to be in the depths of the vast starry sky, with a low and distant tune in her ears, helpless, tragic, hopeful, unrepentant, like sighing, passing by one planet after another, it was a brief encounter that had been waiting for hundreds of millions of light years, but it was destined to be separated forever. Ilan finally couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment, the blue planet in her memory, once relied on the taste of rare home, but now there is no trace, and she is destined to have no chance to meet again in this life.

In the darkness, his right hand was gently held, tugged slightly, and quickly released. Yilan knew that Lu Xun was reminding her, so she restrained her thoughts, clenched her fists with both hands, and tried her best to hold back the sudden sentimentality, so as not to let her breath sound strange. Finally the last note died down, the lights came on, and the team began to play. She lowered her eyelids, but she never dared to bow her head too much, because tears came with an embarrassing thing, the five knots were connected, and her clear nose was about to flow down. As soon as he arrived at the scene, Lu Xun turned sideways slightly, half-blocked Yilan, and ripped off the triangular scarf around his neck and handed it over.

Today's opening ceremony mecha team members all wear mecha training uniforms, Instructor Zhou is wearing the school's instructor uniform, Lu Xun is wearing the tuduo University's dress for teaching and auxiliary staff to attend formal occasions, the style is simple and atmospheric, but with a fancy and complicated scarf, Yilan herself is wearing a student formal dress, a knee-length skirt, nothing goes. She was not polite, mainly because she was so urgent that she couldn't be polite, so she lowered her head and wiped her face casually, then pinched her nose and twisted it fiercely. After finally cleaning up, she was embarrassed and didn't dare to look up in embarrassment.

I heard Lu Xun whispering softly: "Music always has exciting power. The tone is casual, but it seems to be relieved and exculpatory. Yilan looked up gratefully and ashamedly, Lu Xun looked at her face with concern, and chuckled: "It's okay, you don't have to pay me back, I still have it." Yilan clenched the scarf that was soiled by her, she was sincerely moved, but at the same time she was very ashamed, it is estimated that Lu Xunte disliked this scarf and categorically did not want it.

"Elane," Rita said from behind, "Opening Ceremony...... Are you crying? The last half of the sentence was raised in a loud tone, very high-pitched.

Ilan really wanted to beat Rita on the head and call her sister. Her dumbfounded expression fell on Lu Xun's eyes, in exchange for a helpless shrug from him, the two faced each other, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time. The atmosphere of sighing, comforting, understanding and touching between the two just now was all driven away by this stupid eldest sister, Lu Xun glanced at Yilan very sympathetically, and laughed twice very unkindly, and the look seemed to say: "I'm sorry, I can't stop it, you can face it yourself." Then he nodded to Rita mildly and walked away quickly.

Rita looked at Elan in confusion and cried out again, "Elan, what do you want this for?" Isn't this Dr. Lu's scarf? ”

Yilan was about to call her ancestor, and she was worried that the team members behind her would probably hear Rita's words, so she had to explain: "I borrowed it from Doctor Lu, I was too nervous just now, and my body was a little uncomfortable. ”

"Huh?" Rita's mouth was open in confusion.

Ilan hurriedly grabbed Rita: "Let's go, it's not good for us to block here." ”

At the end of the game, the team didn't need to be lined up, everyone was loose in piles. Huo Sibei and Ah Xi walked over together, Ah Xi greeted Yilan and Rita excitedly, Huo Sibei looked calm, but he didn't open his mouth, he only nodded slightly, his eyes seemed to stay on Yilan's face, and his brows frowned slightly. Yilan subconsciously hid his hand behind him, causing his eyes to pause on the scarf again, but he didn't say anything, and pulled Ah Xi away.

What followed was a tight race, and Rita finally got into a normal state of play and no longer pestered Ilan. Yilan felt much more relaxed, and would still make nutritious meals to reward the team members between the games, and make some meals for Instructor Zhou and Lu Xun, and he also took the opportunity to enjoy the delicious food. When her team had a game day, she booked nutrients, and then followed Lu Xun to sit in the logistics staff area to watch the game. Instructor Zhou was busy recording a video for comments, and he could summarize the team members when he went back. Lu Xun and Yilan watched purely, and Lu Xun saw that Yilan didn't understand much, so he would often explain it to her.

"This is the third generation of conventional mecha that the military has eliminated, and it will only be used in teaching, and the change form is simple, not flexible, and it tests the operator's hand speed skills. This set of prescribed actions is done by both teams at the same time, mainly depending on whether the connection is smooth, the neatness of the movements and the length of time to complete. Later, the two teams will choose their own moves, and their understanding and control of the mecha will be tested. ”

"Whether it is a prescribed action or an optional action, it is a static assessment method, although you can see the tacit understanding of a team from the neatness of the action, but it is not as good as the variant assessment. The variant assessment requires the team to quickly respond to the environment after being randomly selected to various venues, change the formation, and maintain the consistency and integrity of the team through the rapid movement, and even need to modify the mecha on the spot to adapt to the formation and environment in case of special circumstances. ”

Yilan understood that just like the ancient ironclad cavalry, he had good equipment, but he had to be good, he could do all kinds of difficult actions, and he had to cooperate well with the team members, and he could arrange the troops together, so that the combat effectiveness was high, and he was crushed towards the opponent. She immediately thought that Huo Sibei was quite important, he was a mecha designer, and he would definitely have to take the lead when he had to modify the mecha.

"Students usually have a pair of partners on their learning mechs, each with their own strengths, one specializing in command and one specializing in operation. But all Mechfighters must learn both aspects, and if one of them is injured, the other must ensure that they have the ability to continue to manipulate the Mech. In the static assessment, the role of the commander is not much, at most it is to ensure that the actions of the mecha do not cause time lag with teammates, and the test is more about the ability and skill of the operator. But in the variant assessment, the commander's ability is reflected, he has to analyze his position and role in the whole team, and his teammates' next moves, respond quickly, and must also understand the limits of his partner's ability to ensure that his orders can be carried out most appropriately. ”

It's like a tank, one person is driving, and the other is looking around for a target. Elan said he understood. "Isn't there a whole team commander?" Let the mechs play freely with their unreliable tacit understanding? Ilan was a little puzzled by this.

"Of course, the commander-in-chief is the captain or his partner, and their mecha is the core of the team." Lu Xun replied patiently, "You see that there are only fifteen mecha in each team now, and if it is commanded by a person with strong thinking and analysis ability, it seems that it can be done, right?" But this is only the rules of the competition made by the organizer limited to the venue, there are more mecha in a formation in the real battle than this, and there are also cases of teaming up at any time, the captain cannot know each mecha very well, he just controls the strategy, and the commander of each mecha has to decompose the strategy and perfectly reflect the positioning of his mecha in the strategy. “

"Besides, the battle is so brutal, it's not a mecha battle, but who can guarantee that you won't be left with yourself in the next moment? Therefore, each mecha must know how to grasp the situation and control itself. Lu Xun sighed leisurely.

Ilan glanced at him, this was a man with a story, at least a man who had heard it. She wisely didn't dwell on the subject.

"Since the mecha warriors have learned to command and operate, why not one mecha alone?" Elan is about to turn into a curious baby.

Lu Xun chuckled: "Yes, many of the top mecha groups in the alliance operate a two-person mecha by one person, and they have all undergone strict training, and they are capable of complex and fast hand operations, and judge the external environment by themselves, and quickly make the best response." ”

He nodded his head and continued: "There is also a single-person mecha with brain wave control, the application of this kind of mecha is very narrow, and the mental strength and physical fitness of the operator are extremely high. Because except for a few buttons that need to be changed and controlled by hand, other commands are directly controlled by brainwaves, and the operator's brain has to constantly analyze the environment to respond, which is a great loss of mental power, and not all people can do it. Moreover, the mecha is controlled by brain waves, and all kinds of high-risk actions can be done as soon as you think about it, which is a greater test for the human body. The alliance stipulates that people who use brainwave mecha must not be less than thirty years old, and the development of human brain function generally tends to stabilize between the ages of thirty and thirty-five, and at that time, only mecha warriors who have undergone strict training are allowed to test their mental power, and only those who know guò can use brainwave mechas. General mental power appraisal institutions even recommend that people with insufficient physical talent delay the use of brainwave mecha to prevent the body from being injured if it cannot withstand extreme movements, which will then affect the brain domain. So far, the two-person mecha operated by hand is still the mainstream. Well, it's more spacious inside. ”

Ilan was amused. "Doctor Lu, you know so much." Ilan thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Lu Xun has a gentle appearance and is very educated, and he usually doesn't talk much except for things at work, but Yilan has become familiar with him in the past few days, and he turned out to be a very kind and easy-going person after contact.

"Mecha is the dream of every man." Lu Xun's expression was distant when he said this.

Ilan didn't know how to speak, only smiled. Lu Xun immediately smiled open-mindedly: "I am not talented enough, and I am very good as a doctor." ”

"yes, if everyone were mecha warriors, I can't imagine what the world would become, it must be cold." Ilan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the two Ultramans hugging each other on the street, and then shopping hand in hand.

This time, Lu Xun was amused. Ilan chatted with him while watching the game, and they were very harmonious.
