Chapter 180: Participants
"Is this a battle mech, it's really tall, at least ten meters, right?"
"More than that, it has to be eleven or twelve meters, this is still the most ordinary first-level mecha, and the third- and fourth-level giant mecha each have a height of fifty meters upward."
"The school doesn't look like there are a lot of people, there are only more than 300 teachers and students in total, and there are less than 100 people in each class."
"You should be an ordinary school, just these more than 300 people, or thousands of people are selected."
"That's it, there are only five mecha academies like this in the entire Yan Country, as long as they can graduate successfully, the worst in the future will be a first-class mecha combatant, and their status is not as good as the ancient Jinshi, so they have to be a master."
Mecha is expensive, and as a driver, it is naturally expensive.
The real high-level mecha and high-level behemoth, there are not many humans and behemoths, more of them are level 1 to 3.
The entire coastline of the Yan Kingdom will suffer more than a dozen attacks a day on average, and it is basically a level 3 giant beast with a group of first- and second-level giant beasts, fighting with the low-level mecha on the Yan country's side.
Fourth-level giant beasts can't be seen a few times a month, and fifth-level giant beasts are even less, every time they appear, they will affect people's hearts, even if there are two fifth-level mecha in the Yan Kingdom, they don't dare to say that they are sure of victory.
Since the establishment of the Hong Kong Island base, it has only been threatened by a level 5 behemoth once.
On that occasion, Storm Crimson, who was guarding Hong Kong Island, made an astonishing achievement of killing a fifth-level giant beast and two fourth-level giant beasts, which is still talked about by people to this day.
"Xiaoxiao, are most of your classmates ordinary people?"
At the buffet banquet, Wang Tian was eating and asked Wang Xiaoxiao beside him.
"No, many of my classmates are quite rich in their families, and they all drive sports cars." Wang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Sports cars don't mean anything, I'm talking about wealthy families."
Low-end sports cars are one or two million, and ordinary wealthy businessmen worth tens of millions can afford them.
But at the level of the state, these people are just ordinary families and will not be taken too seriously.
"Giants!"
Wang Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly: "I haven't heard who is from a wealthy family, and there are very few." ”
"That's right."
Wang Tian nodded slightly, judging from the words and deeds of these parents, there are nouveau riche, ordinary families, and ordinary wealthy businessmen.
There is no existence that can be called a wealthy family, and from here, the upper side is also consciously suppressing the domestic capital power, not giving them the possibility of mastering the supreme force.
Otherwise, it is impossible for all of the more than 300 teachers and students in the entire academy to come from the middle and lower levels, unless the school consciously controls the source of students.
"Big brother, you are Xiaoxiao's brother, my name is Qiao Lichao, and I am Xiaoxiao's classmate."
As he spoke, a young man who did not look very old and looked very clean walked up.
Wang Tian didn't answer his words, but looked at his sister.
Wang Xiaoxiao whispered: "He wanted to chase me, but I didn't agree, this person is disgusting." ”
Wang Tian smiled and nodded, in response to Wang Xiaoxiao's words, and also in response to Qiao Lichao's greetings.
"Big brother, what do you do?"
"My eldest brother is a fourth-level mecha, the pilot of the Buran, he is serving in the Hangzhou base, if I can graduate successfully, I will also go to Hangzhou, and strive to become a giant mecha pilot as soon as possible."
Qiao Lichao said proudly.
"Buran!"
Someone exclaimed: "During the defense of Hong Kong Island, I saw the Buran, which was a fourth-level giant mecha, with a bright silver body, and it looked beautiful." ”
Hearing Qiao Lichao's origin, some of the people present were unmoved, some secretly figured it out, and some looked flattering.
The fourth-level mecha pilot has basically stood at the apex of the mecha aspect.
In the entire Yan Country, there are only more than 20 drivers at this level, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are dragons and phoenixes among people.
As for the higher fifth-level drivers, there are only two in the entire Yan Country, which is too far away from everyone, and most people's dreams are only to become fourth-level drivers, and fifth-level drivers dare not even think of it.
"You're kind of funny."
Wang Tian's eyes were full of smiles: "I learned to take advantage of my own advantages at a young age, if I dislike the snobbery of the poor and love the rich, this brother-in-law will not be recognized on the spot." ”
Wang Xiaoxiao gave him a blank look.
It's like saying: If you recognize this brother-in-law, I won't recognize you as a brother.
"General Zhang is here."
There was a lot of talk in the crowd.
Wang Tian looked back and found that it was Lieutenant General Zhang Yan, the mecha commander in the Hong Kong Island area.
General Zhang was in his forties and wore regular clothes.
His gaze swept from the crowd and quickly fell on Wang Tian, who nodded imperceptibly.
The two knew each other, and Wang Tian handed over the technology of the Red Queen to the Pacific Rim Military Department, and in exchange for the control of a fourth-level mecha.
The Pacific Rim Military Department, composed of more than 200 countries in the world, belongs to the international military alliance joined by all countries, just like the Allied forces during World War II.
Nominally it is a whole, but secretly it is headed by several large countries, each with its own faction.
After getting the mecha, Wang Tian's various trainings were completed on Hong Kong Island, and he wore the natural symbol of the Yan Kingdom on his body.
Even if he refused the pull of the Yanguo military and did not join the military, he had no less dealings with this commander who guarded Hong Kong Island, especially after Fusang killed the fifth-level giant beast, Wang Tian's name was widely spread in a small area, and this General Zhang's attitude was even more kind.
Without him, strength.
In the world, there are only twelve fifth-level mechas.
It is not a secret that Fuso lost a Sesshomaru and promised to fuse Sesshomaru and Survival of the fittest to create a fifth-level mecha for Wang Tian.
Wang Tian may become the only one who does not take refuge in other countries, but has a fifth-level mecha.
He is a force in his own right, and if he is willing to accept Zhao'an, whether it is Yanguo, the Soviet Union, or the United States, they don't mind giving him the rank of major general to take him in.
In countries like Fuso, Xiangguo, England, and France, it is not impossible for lieutenant generals and admirals to be impossible.
Wang Tian is used to freedom, and he doesn't want to be restrained so he becomes a giant beast hunter.
But in terms of rank, it is enough to be on an equal footing with these general-level commanders, and even because of his neutrality and the intentions of various countries to win over, he can't even be as casual as he is to his own fifth-level driver.
"General Zhang, I didn't expect the celebration of the Mecha Academy, and even your big Buddha was invited."
Looking at Zhang Yan who came over, Wang Tian smiled and spoke.
"Brother, do you know General Zhang?"
Wang Xiaoxiao's face was incredible, and Qiao Lichao next to him was even more stunned.
"I've had a few encounters."
Wang Tian said as he looked at Zhang Yan.
But he didn't want to, Zhang Yan came over and shook his hand, and the first sentence made him frown: "I'm here specifically for you this time, the motherland needs you, I hope you don't shirk." ”
"Huh?"
Wang Tian frowned slightly.
Glancing at the crowd of onlookers around him, he whispered: "The meaning of the Red Queen is not comparable to a fourth-level mecha, I have already contributed to this world, my contribution is greater than anyone else, you should understand the meaning of artificial intelligence." ”
Wang Tian's answer was ingenious.
He didn't ask Zhang Yan what was the matter, but brought out the Red Queen's intelligent system that he had given to the Pacific Rim Military Department for use by countries around the world.
As an unprecedented artificial intelligence system, the value of the Red Queen is immeasurable.
If Wang Tian sets up a technology company and focuses on artificial intelligence products, the Red Queen will replace all the control systems in the world, and he will receive a soft hand every year for patent fees alone, pushing him to the throne of the world's richest man.
He didn't do that, but it was very cheap, and he gave up the Red Queen technology with a level 4 mecha.
The Pacific Rim Military Department, as well as all countries in the world, should accept his favor and not demand anything more from him.
Come up and say that the motherland needs you, full of officialdom, this kind of person should be killed.
I love my country, who loves me, Wang Tian doesn't want to jump into the lake one day.
"The research and development of the sixth-generation mecha, because of your artificial intelligence system, has a different concept."
"Some people advocate giving up the pilot and handing over the command of the mecha to the Red Queen, which reacts faster and is more obedient to orders."
"You also know that a sixth-level mecha cannot be manufactured by a single country, and can only be jointly developed and used by multiple countries."
"We, on the Yanguo side, oppose handing over command to artificial intelligence and advocate the use of human pilots."
"As the developer of the Red Queen system, we hope that you can go to various countries to lobby them to give up their intelligent mechas."
Zhang Yan looked cautious: "You are the developer of the system, and your words must have a far-reaching impact." ”
"It's hard for me to come forward with this kind of thing."
Wang Tian thought about it seriously and replied: "There are pros and cons to giving up human drivers and using artificial intelligence to drive autonomously. ”
"At present, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, without the human pilot, many protective measures can be reduced, such as the mecha room, the escape pod, and some devices for humans can be canceled and more weapons can be transformed."
"Of course, in the long run, AI systems are in charge of the highest force, which is not a blessing or a curse for humanity."
"What to do, you people need to discuss, not me."
"I am no different from interfering in the process of civilization, I am not God, and I dare not guarantee that my ideas are correct."
"You are different, you represent nations and all of humanity, and whatever the outcome, good or bad, you are part of humanity's choice."
General Zhang pondered for a moment and replied, "Survival of the fittest? ”
Wang Tian nodded and said, "Yes." ”
General Zhang left quickly, he did not get what he wanted, but he saw that Wang Tianzhen had no intention of politics, and was not even willing to participate in the big events that would determine the fate of mankind.
In this way, those who cannot be used by me will not be controlled by the enemy.
Level 5 mecha pilots, to a certain extent, are enough to affect the world pattern.
"Brother, what are you..."
Seeing the military personnel leave, Wang Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Tian at a loss.
Wang Tian is not a person who likes to pretend to be 13, looking at the many intentional or unintentional eyes in the crowd, he said indifferently: "Some small problems are not worth mentioning." ”
