Chapter 514: Trials (2/3)
'I knew I should have left that eldest lady behind yesterday.' ’
Looking at the plate of paste in front of him, Li Qingyuan thought helplessly.
His current status is a senior engineer in the base, and the mech pilot or something must wait for General Pantkaus to return before he can approve it.
But this identity doesn't have any other preferential treatment except for bringing him a single room, just look at the mess on the plate.
"The food is not to taste?"
Heck sat down beside him and asked heartily.
"Hmm...... Is the base's budget so tight right now? Li Qingyuan did not refuse the kindness shown by Heck, but asked directly.
"Since the coalition government announced that it would not provide assistance to the Hunter Base, all the funds have been reduced, and if you could have enjoyed the top-notch Michelin chef's exclusive set menu a few months earlier!" Heck shoved the mass of unknown things on the plate into his mouth with a fork, and munched on it.
Well, it looks like this broken base is indeed coming to an end!
Even though the virus has broken through Sydney's defense wall around the sea yesterday, the high-level executives who eat people and don't do personnel still feel that the Mecha Hunter project is not worth continuing to invest in, and it is said that the above is already considering that it is really impossible to abandon all the coastline and relocate all important industries inland.
I really don't know what those guys have in their heads, could it be that there are already high-level people who have reached a secret agreement with the aliens on the other side of the tunnel?
"The monster you killed yesterday didn't bring in sponsorship?" Although he knew that this thing on the plate just looked bad but the taste should be okay, but eating was to pay attention to the mood, this strange thing, he really didn't have much appetite.
Besides, with his current physique, eating is just to enjoy his appetite, so naturally he won't embarrass his stomach.
"There are many non-governmental organizations that have donated to us, but that money is a drop in the bucket for mechas." Heck said as he ate.
Every time a mecha is used, the energy consumption alone is worth millions, not to mention the maintenance costs after a fight!
The government doesn't pay for it, and it is really difficult to eat with the little money that you get from soliciting sponsorship.
"By the way, I heard that you simulated training yesterday and the neural link reached ninety-nine?" After eating the food in two bites, Heck asked the question he wanted to ask.
"That's right, why don't you take me with you to start the mecha?" Li Qingyuan said with a smile.
Each mech requires multiple passwords to activate, and he can't steal one if he wants to.
"You'll have a chance soon, and a master will come back later." Heck smiled, although he was grateful for the other party's help in fixing the turbocharger of the Eureka Raider, but took him to the mech?
How is that possible!
You must know that every mecha is his wife to the mecha pilot, and it is absolutely impossible for others to touch it.
No, it seems that Heck's partner is his son, if this is counted, won't it become an ethical suspense drama?
"What's so great about the guy who can't accept defeat and pretends to be a deserter for five years!" Chuck, who was suffering and didn't dare to speak, finally couldn't help but raise his head and speak.
"You know, he drove the dangerous wanderer back to Alaska alone, alone!" Seeing his son so disdainful of his old comrade-in-arms, Heck immediately began to argue for his old friend.
"Cut-" Chuck turned his head and said nothing, although he thought that the deserter should be sent directly to a court-martial, but there was really nothing to argue with such a thing.
Anyway, if he was to set up a mecha alone, it was estimated that he would faint due to brain overload after taking two steps at most.
"Raleigh is the best pilot, but he can't control the mech alone, so I think you can try it." Heck saw that his son was soft, and he also knew the truth that it was good to see it, so he didn't stimulate him anymore, but said to Li Qingyuan.
"When will the selection take place?" Although Li Qingyuan knew that it was easy to set up a mecha by himself with his own ability, no one would believe this kind of thing even if he said it.
Unless he subdues everyone in the entire base along the way, then he can ask General Pantkaus to open the back door for himself to get a mech to play with.
"He's here!"
At this time, the dining hall was a little quieter, and Heck pointed to the two people who walked in at the door.
General Pantcous, the supreme commander of the base, walks at the front, and the guy standing behind him who seems to owe him money in the whole world is Raleigh, the hero of the show.
Asako Mori walked behind the two of them in small steps, her eyes peeking at Raleigh from time to time.
Raleigh was the star of the mecha hunters, and he and his twin brother Yang Xi were the strongest mech hunters for several consecutive years.
In addition, the original neural connection record was also done by the two brothers.
However, five years ago, there was an accident during an operation, and although they killed the attacking monster, Yangxi was killed by the monster.
Unable to bear the pain, Raleigh began to give up on himself, abandoning his identity as a mech hunter and becoming a homeless man, until General Pantcous himself went to fetch him.
No matter how good a mech is, it's not as important as an experienced mech hunter, and the two mechs that just finished yesterday are the most powerful proof of this.
Therefore, for such an ace driver as Raleigh, General Pantkaus gave the greatest respect, not only to pick up people in person, but also to act as a guide to introduce everything to him by the way.
"You are the new Li Gong, and you are very welcome to join the hunter base!" At this time, Mori Mazi saw someone standing next to him, and hurriedly whispered to the general, and then the black general handed over the work of the guide to Mori Mazi and walked towards Li Qingyuan.
"You're welcome, but I want to participate in this Hunter Pilot Audition, General, you know about it!" I didn't have much feeling about the kind person released by General Pantkaus, it is true that in the eyes of others, being so condescending and noble as a general is definitely approachable, but in Li Qingyuan's opinion, if it weren't for the fact that the other party could barely be regarded as a good person, he should have beaten him just because of his skin color.
No way, he hates racism the most in his life!
"Li Gong, I've already read your information, and being able to achieve that kind of data for the first neural link is definitely talented, but you have never received professional training, and this mission is too important!" The black general thought for a moment, and immediately spoke.
Ninety-nine percent of the links are definitely record-breaking, and if you train well for a year or two, you might be able to have another ace driver, but now time simply doesn't allow it.
The Hunter Base has reached the point of fighting on its own, and if they can't solve all the problems within two months, they won't be able to pay for the maintenance of this base alone!
In this case, General Pantkaus really did not have the extra energy and funds to train the newcomers.
