Chapter VI Recruitment

You can't expect an eighty-year-old man and a ten-year-old grandson to fly a mecha to battle.

Close brain waves, physical requirements, age requirements, these three conditions have brushed the PPDC from 90% of the people who have worked hard to collect from all over the world, leaving only about 100 people, which meet the basic requirements of drivers. According to the plan of pairing two by two, if these 100 people are distributed, there will only be a maximum of 50 mechs in service at the same time.

The rarity of drivers doomed this to not be a popular profession, and even a pair of drivers. are two criminals who served in prison! And the PPDC promises that only two people will fly the mech to fight. Previous criminal records have been written off, which shows how rare the driver is.

In addition to the scarcity of drivers, the particularity of the mecha itself also determines that it is not made in a turn on the assembly line, according to the official basic setting, each mecha itself needs at least a cost of up to 60 billion US dollars, and it is only the most basic, but also to invest a steady stream of manpower, material resources, and also need to consume more financial resources, and from the first mecha "Noisy Boy Yukon" off the assembly line to now, the world has done its best to create more than 30 mechas, and its preciousness can be imagined.

This is why governments have agreed to build coastal walls, which are so much different.

In this way, the situation is that there are more pilots than mechas, but because the pilots receive different training times, they just staggered in batches and take turns driving mechas, and in ordinary battles, most of the serious injuries are mechas, but since the appearance of the third generation of monsters, the monsters have adjusted their strategic approach and prioritized attacking the mecha cockpit and striving to kill the pilot.

The mecha can be rebuilt if it is gone, but the pilot is dead, and it can't be replenished in a year or two!

There is no doubt that the decapitation of the monsters has achieved remarkable results, and the encounter of the male protagonist Beckett is the most typical example, most of the cockpits of the mechs are in the head, so the death rate of the pilots has skyrocketed during this period of time, and soon exceeded the bottom line of the number of mech pilots.

"These goddamn hunks!"

Pantcoster clenched his fists, teeth itching at the trespassing creatures.

He raised his head, and could see the situation outside through the wide glass window, a red mecha stood quietly, and there were still many workers busy on the excellent left arm, as if the left arm had been damaged, and this mecha was the "dangerous wanderer" that the actor Beckett once drove!

After Beckett was expelled from PPDC, Pantcoster managed to dig out the dangerous wanderers again, and spent eight months repairing them, the choice of the pilot, Pantcoster was the first to think of Beckett, after his brother died, Beckett drove the mech back to the coast of Alaska alone, and his strength was enough to give Panthcoster a reason to recall Beckett and become a pilot again.

It's just that a driver is not enough, you also need a partner, Pantcoster subconsciously glanced at the side, a Japanese girl with short ear-length hair, was discussing something with the technician next to him, Pantcoster subconsciously excluded the other party, not that the other party was unqualified, but that he didn't want the other party to take risks.

It's just that in this case, there will be a lack of "rangers" to pilot mechs, which makes Panthcoster fall into a tangle, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, a long-abandoned method appeared in his mind.

"Perhaps, it's time to reopen the plan to recruit new cadets from the Hunter Academy for the fifth time......

Pantcoster's eyes gradually lit up.

…………

A day later, advertisements for new students from the Hunter Academy appeared in newspapers and on TV, and this advertisement immediately caused all mankind to boil!

In this era, monsters can be said to be the public enemy of all mankind, monsters are huge, not only the whole body is emitting poisonous gas all the time to pollute the entire earth's environment, but also will land ashore to destroy human civilization, every time there will be countless innocent people killed and injured, so every ordinary person hates monsters to gnash their teeth.

And the Hunter Academy is a place to train the pilot "Ranger" of mecha hunters, this place is a sacred place in the eyes of ordinary humans now, a place they worship, in their eyes, as long as they join the Hunter Academy, they have the opportunity to become a ranger driving a skua mecha to fight monsters and become a hero of mankind.

"I'm going to sign up, I'm going to join the Hunter Academy!"

"Lao Tzu must become a ranger and kill those dog-day monsters!"

Every city is staging this registration tide at this time, countless ordinary people flock to the PPDC external branch in each city, and there are long queues at the door of each PPDC external branch, and countless excited people go to the window to get a registration form, and then run to the side and start to fill in their own information seriously.

Of course, such a sensational news did not escape Li Qi's ears and eyes, after many analyses and collection of materials (in fact, Xiao Wu did it), coupled with Xiao Wu's fanning of the flames next to him, and Xiao San's work style of ignoring 3721 and Xiao Wu's embarrassment, he decided to sign up and realize his mecha dream as a hot-blooded young man.

In the external branch of PPDC in Hilo City, Hawaii, Li Qi also got a form to fill in the information, this form needs to fill in some information about the applicant, fortunately, he bought a virtual identity form in the future mall before, otherwise he would have become a black account.

Countless people who got the report crowded into the hall with pens to fill in, the PPDC external branch is very large, the hall is the size of half a football field, but compared to the thousands of people who came today, it is still very crowded, there are not enough seats, some people who did not find a seat just sat on the ground and filled it up.

Li Qi walked to the side with the form, and saw that a person had just finished filling out and stood up from his seat, so he walked over and sat down, intending to start filling in the information.

"Hey, yellow-skinned monkey, get out of the way for Uncle Ben, it's mine!" Just when Li Qi picked up the pen and was about to fill in the information, suddenly an arrogant voice came from behind him.

Li Qi stopped his pen and turned his head, and saw a bald black man with a face of about two meters and a full face of flesh was standing behind him and looking at him condescendingly with contemptuous eyes.
