Roland sat in the closed cabin, and a dim feeling came over his face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, there is an "inextinguishable flame" in the cabin, and there is no lack of light, and the reason for this illusion is mainly because the closed hatch and thick armor enclose him in a small space, and psychologically fall into a sense of panic similar to "claustrophobia".

A fair-skinned slender hand reached over and touched his forehead, and a narrow chuckle came from his ear: "Look at you, you are sweating before you open your armor, are you so nervous?" ”

The mecha driver's seat is very wide, with two seats fixed side by side, and in addition to the driver's seat occupied by Roland, there is also an assistant seat next to it. The assistant pilot is a part-time navigator, mainly responsible for communication and reconnaissance of enemy situations, and when the main master is unwell, the assistant pilot will take over the task of piloting the mech.

Victoria sat in the assistant's seat, looking at Roland with a smile, her clear eyes were burning, which put a lot of pressure on Roland's classmates, who were already a little nervous.

"People who are new to mecha will inevitably be overwhelmed, do you want me to teach you how to operate this iron giant?"

"Not for the time being, I want to figure it out for myself, don't talk, don't stare at me." Roland replied in a low voice.

Victoria approached him with a grin, deliberately widening her eyes, which reminded Roland of the invigilator in the exam room, and the psychological pressure was even greater.

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to forget the troublemaker beside him, looking at the complicated lines on the operation seat in front of him with some worry, he hadn't even taken a driver's license before crossing, and now let him drive a mecha that is more complex than a car, where should he start? Forget it, let's take a look at the instructions first.

There were no operating instructions in the driver's seat, but this couldn't stop him, and he directly opened the "Pupil of Destiny" to verify this complex machine that faintly emitted a steam roar.

……

After reading the appraisal report, Roland was dismayed to find that this thing was more complicated than he imagined, and he was all on his own, and he was afraid that it would take a long time to master the driving skills, and this was not an accident of malfunctioning. Come on, the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, he just ...... What's that!

"Dear Vita......" Roland turned his head to look at the Lori Knight beside him, barely squeezing out a flattering smile, "I need your help." ”

Victoria sneered, raised her white little hand and squeezed it on his face, "Count yourself interested, let's say, what do you want to accomplish?" ”

"The first step, I want to turn on the motor."

"Simple, see that red lever? When the steam valve is opened, the magic crystal steam engine outputs steam to impact the turbine device, like the heart squeezing the blood flowing all over the body, driving the joints and tendons composed of countless bearings, springs and gears, so that the mecha can gain power. Victoria explained.

Roland followed her instructions and activated the lever, the steam boiler beneath the seat hissed, and the mech's joints erupted steam and slammed to its feet. The sudden shock caught Roland off guard and nearly fell off his seat.

Victoria pulled him just in time, pulling out the seat belt to hold him firmly in the seat.

The feeling of being restrained was not comfortable, Roland couldn't help but squirm, and as a result, the little princess of the sea elves was coquettish: "Don't be awkward, if you twist it, the mecha will also twist!" ”

"Huh? Really......" Roland tried to twist his waist again, and after a slight delay, the mecha did the same.

"Can my movements be mapped to the mech?" Roland couldn't help but be amazed by the ingenious operating system.

Victoria nodded, pointed to the driver's seat, and said: "The seat cushion and backrest are lined with a sensitive spring mechanism, and blessed with a special magic, when your torso turns in a certain direction, the pressure will be applied to the spring, and the engine amplification and transmission to the mecha's balance system, so that it will make the same rotation, through this device, you can easily adjust the direction of the mecha, more agile than the rudder wheel on the ship, but with a slight delay." ”

Roland exerted his strength in his hips and tried to turn to the left, but after a short delay, the mecha also turned in the same direction.

"Okay, now that I understand how to turn, how can I maneuver the mech forward or backward?"

"There are two seesaw-shaped pedals under your feet, the left pedal controls forward and backward, and the right pedal controls acceleration and braking."

"It's like driving a car......," Roland muttered quietly, stepping on the accelerator, and the steam engine suddenly spewed out a puff of white mist, increasing the power output; Roland's left foot pressed forward on the pedal, and the mech immediately took a big stride and walked straight forward, and when he stepped backwards, the mech slowly stopped, and then walked backwards, rumbling with each step.

Roland let out a sigh of relief, a smile on his face, and finally found some feeling.

Next, he twisted his hips as he advanced, and the mech's path changed from straight to arc, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and pushed forward in a serpentine position; And when Roland pressed the right pedal to the end, the output power of the steam engine reached its peak, and the mecha changed from walking to striding wildly, and through the transparent force field window, you could see the buildings on both sides retreating rapidly, and the mood was very comfortable.

Seeing the force field window, Roland moved his mind again. After all, the world of Varess is a fantasy world where magic dominates, and even a more sci-fi device like a steam mecha is inseparable from the aid of magic. Take the cockpit window as an example, it is a curved force field wall, isolating from external influences while clearly observing the external environment, the hardness is better than the glass fiber reinforced plastic window, and it will not break if it withstands the pressure of thousands of feet of water under the sea, but this also brings a problem - the force field wall created by magic may be cracked by magic!
