Chapter 7: The Era of Machine Warfare
Things went a little smoother than Evan expected, and after he showed his telekinesis, he was no longer hindered by any obstacles and passed the entrance examination directly.
Afterwards, Weimar was led by a blank face, and Evan arrived at a pale blue villa. The building is located in the sky garden on Floating Island 3, surrounded by dozens of villas of the same style, with several open-top aircraft parked in front of the door, which does not look like a house for him to live alone.
After politely asking the man with facial paralysis, Evan figured out that in addition to himself, there were three freshmen who had just entered the school living here. Unlike him, a diplomatic student, the other three were all citizens of the Confederation, so Weimar specifically instructed Evan not to put himself on the emperor's shelf when he lived here, and to learn to live peacefully with his roommates.
Of course, Evan knew this kind of thing, and there was no shelf to put it on, but until now, he was also confused.
He is only the emperor of a feudal country, and he is about to become a colony, so is the treatment of coming to the federation a little higher? Not only does he not need to pay tuition, but he also has a huge living allowance, is this federal government the kind of mentally handicapped regime that would rather be poor than treat foreign guests?
Or rather...... What's so funny about this?
Ivan hid his doubts in his heart and walked into his room on the second floor.
The whole space is divided into a comfortable and idyllic bedroom, a magnificent single kitchen and an extraordinary study by the "concave" shape of the wall. Beneath the feet are parquet floors made of brown wood, large carpets of dark red flowers, and intricate wainscoting panels on the walls. Through the back door of the bedroom, there is a wide and clear balcony with a balustrade, and the colorful garden scenery is like an oil painting......
"This is your room, and the simulator is in the study. The identity information has just been set, identified by the pupil pattern, and only people from the Ministry of Armed Forces are eligible to come in except for you. When Weimar said this, he suddenly realized that the young man in front of him had just come into contact with the interstellar civilization, so he patiently asked:
"Pupil Pattern Recognition...... You know what that means, right?"
"I know that if you look at that hole, you can identify it. Evan nodded.
"It's good to understand. ”
He looked at the watch on the other party's wrist, pointed to the screen and said, "Your identifier has been connected to the academy network, what to do tomorrow, it will notify you." If you're really in a hurry, you can also ask your roommate, and I'll leave first if I have something to do. ”
"No problem. ”
Evan sat on the bench and smiled at him.
......
After leaving Weimar, he went to the study alone.
Due to space constraints, the study is designed to be small and has little decoration. On the left and right waist walls separated from the bedroom on the west side, there are bookcase-like closets, which used to be displayed with books or decorative ornaments, but now they are empty. Although surprised by the presence of physical books here, Ivan did not pay attention to the shelves, but to the combat login placed on the wall.
The reddish-hued, spaceship-like device occupies a third of the study, with a black rubber cushion at the bottom, covered with a convex glass cover, and a leather seat that reclines backwards.
The instrument in front of me is the landing module of the machine combat simulation system, which is said to be able to restore 100% of the various landforms in the real space, allowing students to fly virtual mechs and simulate elite mechanics to carry out diversified operations.
In the process, the login will also stimulate the user's brain in all directions, so that his mental power can be further enhanced.
It's a living virtual reality technology, and it's an interstellar version, so you have to give it a try!
"Turn on the dropship. ”
Ivan entered the voice command, and the glass cover on the surface of the landing capsule suddenly popped outward, and he stepped in with excitement, and after sitting upright, the glass cover that popped up immediately closed downward, and the space quickly returned to closure.
Buzz——!
The light in the landing module suddenly dimmed, and only a lot of small red and green lights were left in the darkness, and the huge data of the aircraft combat system poured into the login, as if opening a door to travel through time and space.
Information Loading ......
"Identification ......"
"Channel Open ......"
Accompanied by a mechanical light female voice, the small flashing lights in the landing module went out one by one, and the light became dimmer and dimmer, falling into absolute darkness.
Evan suddenly felt a heavy feeling, as if some kind of heavy object was pressing on his mind, and his consciousness gradually became a little drowsy, and he faintly heard the sound of cannon fire.
The roar of artillery fire continued to echo in the darkness, as if it came from far away, and there was an illusion of proximity in a trance.
It reminded Ivan of the battlefield filled with gunpowder and the distant dark night sky, and the huge battle mechs fighting under the starry sky, their hard silhouettes illuminated by the firelight, and their huge bodies quickly melted in the heat...... The background of the battlefield is a bright moon, which is incredibly large, half of its body sinking below the horizon.
Maybe a minute, maybe just a second.
As the weight that enveloped his mind disappeared, Evan seemed to wake up from his sleep, and his consciousness suddenly regained clarity. Looking around, he found himself standing in a large, empty room, dressed in a white light armor-style space combat suit.
"Welcome to the Age of Fighter Warfare. ”
Accompanied by a sweet and refreshing figure, a beam of light fell directly above his head, shining in front of Evan, as if drifting snow, and the fluorescent fragments fell leisurely in that beam, and a translucent female silhouette was suspended in the center of the beam. Her body seemed to be made of glittering particles, her long golden hair floated in the space, slowly floating like algae, and her dark golden eyes were clear and agile, staring at him with a hint of smile.
"You, are you an artificial intelligence?"
Evan looked up at her and asked curiously with a hint of shock.
"Yes, I am Noah, the guide of the era of machine warfare. ”
She replied politely and gently, and at the same time a dense battlefield was generated behind her, like a dynamic oil painting floating there—some in interstellar space, some at the bottom of the sea, some on the surface of a barren planet, and some in the dark depths of the center of the earth......
"Your character level is the first level, and you have 1 tracked individual mecha, may I ask if you want to summon a mecha. Noah asked softly.
"Summon!"
Evan was eager to try.
In an instant, fluorescent fragments flickered in the white space, and countless translucent lines intertwined in mid-air, forming a messy and strobbling outline, gradually stabilizing and clear, and finally becoming a pitch-black individual combat mecha.
The mech is almost three meters tall, human-like and armed with a laser cannon and a heavy machine gun, with strong pincer-shaped arms and a crawler underside. The light armor mainly protects the area below the chest cavity, and the hollow position of the torso is the driver's cab, and the mechanic sits in it, and the whole mecha becomes his exoskeleton, which can control the mecha as if it were his own body.
