Chapter 45: Waste
Li Dong's own perspective gradually blurred, and he entered a mecha, but the number of mecha he could control in front of him became 10. The screen in front of him kept flickering, and the images of the gray mecha on it flickered and dimmed, as if they were waiting for his choice.
He touched it slightly, and sure enough, the choice jumped out of it.
There are no varied options for mech models, only the basic choice for mech types, combat type, or reconnaissance type. This is true for all nine choices. And there is a mecha whose light screen has lit up, it is a command mecha that is biased towards combat, and it is obvious that it is the one he is on now.
He finally understood why Wanda had so many mecha around him to hunt him down, not because he was jealous and outrageous, but because Wanda alone had 9 brothers to help him cut people. This is an underworld brawl! The boss has people behind him, and the younger brother has a knife on his body. Isn't this the most daily social activity of the gangsters in the capital area!
I have to say here that in fact, the reason why Imperial College London designed this system is for those students who have chosen the Department of Operational Command and consider it after graduation. You must know that once they graduate from the highest academy in the Shenwu Empire, these students are all low-level officers who immediately have the rank of second lieutenant or above, and they have the basic rights and obligations to lead troops to fight, and the bottom line is 10 mechas, or the number of other arms that are equal to them.
It is extremely dangerous to let those graduates who have no combat experience immediately lead troops to fight, not only is it a threat to the lives of ordinary soldiers, but most importantly, these flowers of war on the battlefield of the future empire must not be strangled before they bloom and bloom. This is a huge waste of human resources, and Imperial College London, as the alma mater that trained them, is very reluctant to see such a thing come out. Therefore, this virtual competition system with a minimum configuration of 10 mecha came into being.
Considering that there are many models of mecha in reality, just a Shenwu Empire, from the beginning of the founding of the country to the end of the third phase of the current experiment, there are more than thousands, so at present, this system can only have three types of mechas, combat type, reconnaissance type, and command type.
Coming back to Li Dong, seeing the choices on the 9 light screens, I didn't know what kind of mecha configuration was the most reasonable, and the result was a shock, the command mecha shook non-stop, and a rumbling explosion came.
As soon as Li Dong looked up, it turned out that although he had entered the mecha, his position had not changed much, he was still in the pool of water under the waterfall, and the mecha group of Wanda above turned on the particle ejector, and slowly landed while firing at Li Dong.
No wonder Wanda, a drunken cat, can still drive a mecha, it's like a boss with a few little brothers next to him supporting him to walk, as long as the command mecha is in the center of the battle mecha team, then even a blind man can drive the mecha.
"As soon as I came up, I was determined, I'll let you see, when it comes to group fights, who is more ruthless!"
Li Dong gritted his teeth, his fingers trembled, and he saw that he had completely given up the choice of reconnaissance mechas, and the nine mechs were actually all combat mechas! You must know that although this online combat system is still very simple, the map is very large, and if there is no combat mecha in a group of mechas, it is like a blind man walking in a dangerous jungle, and those fierce beasts are hiding in the shadows and eyeing him, and he may still be in a state of ignorance.
"Spread out!"
Putting aside this choice of not knowing whether to be shrewd or stupid, Li Dong's reaction was still very fast, 10 mechas, while doing standard evasion actions, as much as possible to reduce the damage from the fire above, while taking the pool of water as a point, quickly radiating towards the periphery, effectively avoiding the possibility of being served by Wanda.
"Li Dong, you can't escape!" Wanda roared angrily. For him, Li Dong has been successfully upgraded from an inconsequential character such as a roadblock that hinders his pursuit of the princess to a role such as a roadblock involving personal grudges, and he must be taught a good lesson.
Wanda's mecha team accelerated its fall, and at the same time, the firepower frantically bombarded Li Dong's mecha team.
On the one hand, Li Dong stood below, without the advantage of terrain, on the other hand, he did not command a mecha team of 10 people at the same time, although this is the system, for the command of the mecha, other mecha will not hesitate to execute, but it also makes him in a hurry, most of the shots in the air do not hit, even if they hit, because it is not critical, plus the protection of the protective shield, it is completely ignored.
"Bad marksmanship!"
"Is this guy really the rookie king who has killed the most mechs in that arena?"
"Sure enough, the strength of the guy from a civilian background is still far inferior to our nobles!"
"I think this guy is a little clever in his mecha skills, at best he is a brave martial artist!"
Outside the optical brain online system, the students who looked at the various big screens were attracted by the man-machine battle just now, and there were many discussions, and there were mixed reviews for Wanda and Li Dong, but overall, they were absolutely, Li Dong was obviously sorry for the title of the newcomer king of the freshman admission competition displayed at the bottom of the screen.
The hostess standing in the dark shadow on the side bit her lower lip with her teeth, this time can be regarded as the first bad thing she has done, if it weren't for Li Dongtai's hateful and highly educated by aristocratic ladies, she would not have done this kind of thing. At the beginning of the game, watching Li Dong being chased by a mecha on the light screen, her heart was complicated, a faint sense of guilt, and the satisfaction of the success of the prank filled her heart. When she saw that Li Dong had actually successfully entered the mecha, she was slightly glad in her heart. It would be best to take revenge without causing actual damage to people.
I have to say that compared with Li Dong's bad personality, this hostess is simply like the Virgin Mary.
Bo Guwen in the distance did not have the input of everyone present, and his face was also faint, sipping wine while squinting at the big screen. Anyway, winning or losing has nothing to do with him, it can only let him know more about Li Dong as a person.
Suddenly, the situation on the big screen changed abruptly, and everyone, including the hostess, whispered out in surprise "Ah", and even Bo Guwen, who had an attitude of not caring about himself, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
At this time, Wanda's mecha team had completely landed, standing in the pool, carrying out a round of mecha position adjustments, preparing for the next mecha team chasing Li Dong. I have to say that Wanda is still very cautious, although Li Dong's mecha command combat ability is surprisingly poor, but Wanda's command is still a glance, and there is a faint calmness of a general.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the luck of a general, and the opponent he meets is Li Dong, a guy who directs the mecha squad battle as a fight in the underworld to grab turf.
"Brothers, the time for revenge has finally come, beat me hard, and beat all these guys so that they don't know their own mothers!" Li Dong roared, regardless of whether the light brain system understood it or not, he waved his hand and gave the order to attack.
10 mechs, fanning around the waterfall sinkhole, 10 Gatling machine guns fired, bullets raining forward.
Wanda had long been prepared for Li Dong's counterattack, and commanded the mecha into a 331 formation, that is, 3 combat mechs were used as meat shields in front, and one or two reconnaissance mechs and one combat mecha were fired in the middle, placing his own command mecha in the safest rear.
But he miscalculated, not even a single bullet hit his mech, and all those bullets hit the pool in front of them, and countless bullets shot into the water, bursting the stones at the bottom of the water, forming a thin layer of mist in the two mecha groups, blocking their respective realization.
This kind of physical barrier is impossible to ignore even with the radar on the reconnaissance mecha, and even if it is switched to the whole system of radar, the time to form an impression will be greatly extended.
Wanda has a very bad premonition, this cunning Li Dong, just looking at his performance in the arena, his own marksmanship cannot be so inaccurate, it is absolutely impossible to miss a shot, there must be fraud in it!
"Two reconnaissance mechs, one ordinary radar, one full range of radars, quick cold start!" he immediately ordered. The fear in Wanda's heart has made him not hesitate to let the reconnaissance mecha consume precious energy and cause the danger of damage to the mecha hardware, and go all out to cold-start the radar, so that he must be well aware of the actions of Li Dong's mecha team.
Li Dong had a ruffian smile on the corner of his mouth. Die, only a teenager like me, who hovers between innocence and melancholy, can defeat his wife with innocence and conquer Lori with melancholy (don't ask me how Li Dong could think of such evil thoughts at this critical time), slightly adjust the rocket launcher on his shoulder, and then press the launch button fiercely.
The missile was launched, drawing a graceful arc, but the target was not Wanda's mecha team, but the rock above them that had been beaten loose by Li Dong before!
"Bang!"
A loud bang came, and Wanda secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good. I saw that above my head, a large rock smashed mercilessly at the mecha team below.
"Disperse!" Although we know that under the current circumstances, disbanding the battle formation and scattering will greatly increase the danger of being sniped by Li Dong alone, but if we don't disperse, when the rock is pressed to the top, it will be the danger of the entire army being annihilated.
Wanda's team was ordered to scatter after receiving orders to command the mechs, with two exceptions, which were reconnaissance mechs that had just been ordered to cold-start the radar with all their might. You must know that after the cold start, the reconnaissance mecha can only rely on the protection of other mechas, and its own movement speed will be very slow, which is simply negligible compared to ordinary mechas. Therefore, mature squad leaders are very cautious about using this function.
Of course, as Wanda, who is only a student of the Imperial Institute of Technology, there is still a certain gap between him and a mature team leader.
"Bang!"
Countless rocks fell, crushing the two reconnaissance mechs underground to the ground. It has to be said that Wanda was lucky and unlucky. He was lucky that the rocks fell from a high altitude like this, and the two mechs were only sparks, and they had not exploded yet. At the same time, he was also unlucky, Li Dong took advantage of the fact that his mecha was scattered, and it was not enough to defend, and the 10 mechs raised their hands to shoot a salvo, directly knocking out the two dying mechas.
"Boom ......"
Li Dong's eyes were imprinted with blood-red sparks emitted by the mecha explosion. Now, let's see who the blind old cat is!
