Chapter 16: Activation
"They are the pinnacle of human large combat mech technology today, and the conditions are just as demanding for their pilots."
Dr. Alain's eyes twinkled as he looked at the cabinet that had been lifted from the dust cloth in those days.
"The No. 1 mech is using a psychic materialization weapon, look at the ring behind it."
Following Dr. Alain's fingers, several of the children looked over.
The dark gold One has a slender body and a pair of narrow wings that are retracted behind it. Where the narrow wings protrude from the back, there is a circular ring-mounted weapon, which looks as if there is a ring of light on the back of the mech's head.
"The material of this weapon is made of high-density ore crystals, and it has strong pro-spiritual power, if the match-making degree and mental strength of the controller are enough, then this ring-mounted weapon can be split into at least three parts to attack at the same time."
Eevee, as if to cooperate with Dr. Alain's explanation, saw her press a touch button on the console of the first unit.
The armed ring behind the No. 1 machine "poof" sounded, divided into three, and distributed in a fan-shaped pattern on the back of the No. 1 machine.
"The No. 1 is good at semi-close attacks, especially for high-speed combat, and its weakness is that it has thinned armor in order to strengthen mobility and offensive capabilities."
Dr. Alain said this, drawing a circle in the air with his index finger towards Eevee.
A staff member took out a high-energy electromagnetic machine gun, walked in front of everyone, and aimed at the No. 1 machine from a distance.
"However, don't worry at all, all the mechs you see now have more protection than just what you can see."
A string of bullets accelerated by high-energy electromagnetism shot at the No. 1 machine.
I saw that the air in front of the No. 1 machine kept flashing, and a light blue eggshell-like shield was activated by the bullets approaching at high speed, and then everyone saw that a bullet stopped in the air in front of the No. 1 plane, as if it was embedded in the air.
"Crackle, crackle...
All the bullets disappeared with the pale blue shield, and all fell to the ground.
"Again, as long as the mental power is strong enough and the synchronization rate is high, these six mechs will make you feel that you are playing in underground fortifications, not fighting."
Dr. Alan pointed to the second machine behind him, a large man with a round belly, barely visible arms and legs, to be more precise, this mecha was more like a big-bellied ship suspended on the ground.
"The second machine has extremely strong protection capabilities, and if the pilot's mental power is enough, then the shield range it activates can protect the entire central tower.
Even if there is no external energy source, relying only on its own body energy, it can be maintained for at least half an hour, and it will not be attacked by those insects that are wreaking havoc outside.
And it can use mental power to create illusionary targets in a short period of time, and these targets can be the objects you want to protect, and can confuse the enemy's attention. ”
When everyone turned their eyes to the cabinet marked with No. 3, the two black hole cannon ports installed on both sides of the mecha control room made the people present shudder.
"The third body is the strongest attack ability among the six bodies, and it is equipped with two Star Shattering Cannons. In regular combat, these two Star Shatterers can be used as regular weapons with reduced excitation energy.
It can also be fired in the form of a continuous attack in an instant after it is fully charged, or it can be charged at once. ”
"Star Crusher...
Nataya's heart palpitated as she looked at the stout No. 3 machine, she had personally experienced the power of that space-level weapon.
"Yes, but that's not the best thing about it, because the recoil of the Star Shatterer is so strong,
So if the mecha is not in the universe when launching, but on the surface, then the legs of the third machine need to put down a rear support frame, which also means the loss of mobility.
So we gave it a more powerful shield type, no less powerful than the Battleship-class shield strength. ”
"The development of such armor really makes war more inhumane...
Will smiled and looked at Dr. Alain, who glanced at him,
"There is no humanity in war."
In cabinet four, there is a mech with four mechanical legs, and on either side of the control room are a pair of high-energy ray generators for mecha that look much more normal.
"The No. 4 machine, the all-powered type, uses all-superconducting materials for anti-gravitational strengthening, and when its power system is operating to the limit state, it can even make people feel that it is carrying out short-distance space displacement.
After superconductivity, its spiritual power amplification and enhancement are also the limits of what humans can achieve in the field of mecha so far, this is a mecha suitable for reconnaissance and command."
"I love it~"
Elena, who is standing next to Nataya, is the person with the highest match for this mecha. Nataya also clearly felt that Elena liked this mech.
"This should be good for running for your life... In the bug pile"
Nataya also nodded, responding seriously.
Elena looked at this blonde girl with a serious face and said that this mecha was suitable for running for her life.
"The fifth machine should be the weakest-looking one among these ones, the armor is pitiful, and the mobility is not even as good as the ordinary wolf-type standard mecha. However, it is the only one that can directly use mental power to materialize and deal area damage. ”
After introducing the five mechs, Dr. Alan led the group onto the platform and came to the No. 6 mecha in the center.
"This one... I can't define it, because it seems to have some autonomy. ”
Dr. Alain looked at Will beside him.
"You can go up and try it now, and you'll understand why Hart told you that."
Seeing Will eagerly hop onto the number six machine, Dr. Alain looked at his watch.
"You guys, just according to the serial number of the test machine, each one, is now ready to enter the startup program."
Watching several children step onto the elevator in front of the mech, Dr. Alan asked Nataya to come to the sixth.
"The spirit of this machine is under your control.
The whole start-up process takes about thirty minutes, Will... His synchronization rate is definitely fine, but you have to help him in the initial stage of mental backlash, can you do it? ”
Dr. Alain did not command, but instead used the words of the request, much to Nataya's surprise.
"It should be ... It should be no problem."
Nataya knows very well that if it is just a mental impact of the intensity on the test machine, for her now, it is just throwing a little high-quality rations into her mental power vortex...
It's just that in this case, I definitely can't act too relaxed, otherwise who knows if I will be treated as a monster.
When Nataya sat down in the ground console area of Machine 6 and put on the steel helmet, Dr. Alain and Ievee stood in front of the main console at the same time.
"The Demon God Project will start the countdown for five minutes, and activate the central tower charging mode!"
"Roger, activate the central tower charging mode."
Just as the second wave of the invaders was breaking through the near-star orbit, the tallest tower on the ring slowly split left and right.
The splitting is slow, and the spacing between the splits is small, but it is still visible to the naked eye.
"Activate!"
Dr. Alain's voice was heard from the loudspeakers in the underground base throughout the central tower.
A pillar of light, drawn from the ultra-small star in the center of the ring, poured into the cracked central tower.
"Ready for action"
At the same time, in a corner of the underground base of the central tower, with a wave of air fluctuations that are almost invisible to the naked eye,
A cold man's voice floated out of the darkness weakly.
