The entire mecha department of the God of War Academy was in an uproar. In fact, not only the mecha department of the God of War Academy, but even those exchange students from major colleges and universities who also came to participate in the selection of the Knight X program were also confused, and even the other departments of the God of War were surprised when they heard the news.

Why? This was all caused after the First Brigade announced the selection method for the Knight X program.

Travel back in time to the time when Ryan and Joestar found Nero in the captain's office at the new base of the First Brigade.

"Your Excellency, do you have any good ideas about the selection of students for the Knight X program?" Lane, who felt that there was no good way to select students, asked directly.

"Actually, I have a good idea." Nero smiled slightly, "Have you ever heard of the game Starfield?" ”

Ryan and Joestar looked at each other, "Of course I did. "First of all, as a young man, I have heard of one of the most popular games in the empire at the moment, not only have I heard of it, but I was also a top player in the starry sky, but as I joined the army, I gradually withdrew from the game.

Starry Sky is a large-scale online battle game, the specific content, in fact, you can guess some by looking at the name, that's right, it's a mecha simulation battle game. It contains many types of mechas, among which there are many novel designs, of course, because it is a game, there are places that are not so realistic, but because of this, even ordinary people can enjoy the thrill of piloting mecha in the game. It is said that in the early days, this game was born out of the mecha simulation training system developed by the military, from the 1V1 battle of the mecha to the large-scale melee that supports N mechas, from the simple training ground like the simplest cube box, to the ability to simulate any terrain and any scene. With the gradual maturity of this game, many complex and real things in the original training system have also been eliminated, so that ordinary people, people with low mental strength, can also drive the mecha in the game, of course, if it is a star knight to play this game, relying on a high degree of mental strength, of course, there will be a very big advantage.

"Captain, although that game is a game that simulates mecha battles, isn't it too realistic? It doesn't reflect the true level of the trainees piloting mechas. Joestar asked, confused.

"The real level of piloting a mech?" Nero touched his chin with his left hand, "Do you think that the real piloting mecha, the second-year students are better, and the first-year students, how far can they go?" ”

Joestar was dumbfounded, and he remembered that this year's military academy had just started, and it was already good for the first-year cadets to be able to drive the mecha smoothly and walk and run, how could they use the mecha to fight.

But isn't that too much child's play? That game claims to allow ordinary people to enjoy the enthusiasm and refreshment of driving mechas, but because it is to adapt to ordinary people, is this game too simple for our students? ”

"Is it easy? You two, I thought you were younger than me, and you should be more open-minded. Let me ask you, is there a difference between hard and easy weapons? ”

Ryan hesitated, "This, there must be." For example, our mecha is not something that ordinary warriors can operate, so it is a weapon that is difficult to operate. ”

"Good." Nero affirmed, "A weapon is also a tool, but it is a tool for killing. But as long as it is a tool, there must be a degree of difficulty in operation, and there is no doubt about it. Then let me ask you again, is there a difference between strong and weak weapons? ”

This time Ryan didn't hesitate, "Of course, our mecha is a very strong weapon, such as an armored car and a mecha, obviously a mecha is stronger." ”

"Oh, so you think. Then let me ask you, there is an ordinary person sitting in the mecha now, and there is an ace driver with rich combat experience in the armored car, may I ask, if this mecha and the armored car fight, who wins and who loses? ”

Ryan blushed, "Of course the armored car wins, but it's not a matter of weapons, it's because the level and level of the operator are too different!" ”

"So can I think that in fact, in terms of the weapon itself, the difference in firepower and the difficulty of operation are only one of the conditions that determine the strength of the weapon, but in fact, the most important thing is to look at the level of the operator?"

"Well, so to speak."

"Great," Nero snapped his fingers, "since you agree with me, let me ask you again, if I were to fight against you in the same M1 mech, who would win and who would lose?" ”

This time Ryan did not hesitate, "Of course Your Excellency the Captain wins." Your technical and operational experience is beyond my reach. ”

Nero continued, "What if it's in the Starry Sky Game?" We drive the same level mecha in the starry sky game and have a battle, who wins and who loses? ”

This time, Joestar replied, "You still win, although you have changed the simple operation mecha in the game, but the experience level is irreplaceable, and your mental strength is far above us, so even in the game, we can't defeat you." ”

"What if I have the same technology and experience as you?"

Ryan and Joestar hesitated again, "This ...... It's hard to say. Anyone has a chance. ”

"That's right! See! When everyone's experience level is about the same, and the level of weapons used is about the same, it's hard to say who wins and who loses, so can you talk in detail about what factors affect the outcome of this bad statement? ”

"This, the ability to analyze the battlefield, the ability to use tactics, the ability to understand weapons, combat intuition, well, and, luck."

Nero applauded, "Very good, you see, haven't you already come to your own conclusions?" If you're going to screen reserves for our first brigade, aren't these the abilities you should be more concerned about? This is different from the intuitive value of physical fitness and mental strength, and the hidden potential of a person will not be exposed unless it is in battle. So, isn't choosing a game for a big melee and then ranking everyone according to their performance accomplishes the purpose of our selection? ”

Ryan and Joestar looked at each other, and involuntarily had a feeling at the same time, what you said made sense, and I was speechless.

"Of course, it is not possible to completely abandon the traditional test method, you can first conduct the traditional test of physical fitness, mental strength, reflexes, driving ability, etc., and then combine the performance of the game to score comprehensively. What do you think? ”

"Okay, just follow your arrangement, Captain, and I will contact all parties immediately when Joestar and I go down."

So the students who were waiting for the upcoming selection in the God of War Academy saw such an announcement, the front was fine, all of them were very reasonable traditional test items, but on the second page, the style of painting changed.

"Boy, do you want to fight? Do you want to surpass everyone else and become a strong man? Starry Sky Game mayhem is waiting for you! ”
