Chapter 493: Hot--Flying Bird

The original design of the mini machine of the mechanical bird was not intended to be used as a sports tool, to be precise, the mechanical bird was designed to be a land fighting weapon. This mechanical bird with two anti-joint mechanical legs is less than two meters tall and is designed with the shape of an ostrich in www.biquge.info. The powerful drive engine allows the mechanical bird to maintain a speed of 480 kilometers per hour, which is almost faster than the speed of the maglev train in the Earth era.

Another important benefit of the mechanical bird is that it is particularly adaptable, and can adapt to almost all the terrain on the planet except for the cliffs. Not only that, but its mobility is not limited by uneven roads, and by adjusting the length of the legs and neck height of the mechanical bird, the height of the mechanical bird can also be flexibly adjusted between 1.3 meters and 3 meters, which can almost be regarded as a land-based all-rounder.

Researchers have attempted to install a shield system around the neck of a mechanical bird, and then a small electromagnetic cannon or energy cannon attached to its beak. At that time, the soldiers will not only be able to move freely on the planet's ground, but will even be able to attack the enemy flexibly.

However, the appearance of the hovercraft and the alloy warframe directly swept the unshaped mechanical bird into the dustbin. Vehicles with their own levitation capabilities are many times faster and safer than mechanical birds. Therefore, except for a small number of enthusiasts of the pioneer group with unique hobbies, a small number of armed mechanical birds were purchased, and the vast majority of mechanical birds were promoted to the people as toys.

Unexpectedly, this toy, which was obsolete in the military, was a great success in civilian use. Since the students in the academy used mechanical birds as a means of transportation, the craze for mechanical birds has not slowed down. There's even an artificial planet dedicated to mechanical bird competitions in the Panja mothership, where a large number of teams hold mechanical bird competitions every day.

Therefore, the naturally occurring planet is the best venue for the mechanical bird competition. However, because there are no such conditions in the place where the second formation is located at present, this time the competition can only be held on the shell of the Kuafu.

After the large-scale parade, the 200,000 competitors and their mounts who participated in the mechanical bird competition on the first day prepared at the starting point of 150 runs at the same time. Although the runway has been extended as much as possible, there is still a feeling of suffocation when 200,000 people are crowded together, just like those ~ painful marathons of 10,000 people held in cities in the previous planetary era.

"Whew...... Is it necessary for us to participate in this kind of child-only thing? Huang Tao rode on the back of the mechanical bird and wiped the sweat on his face, while taking out the high-energy nutrient solution from the space watch to replenish his strength, while watching the crowd around him complain incessantly.

"Didn't Zhou Papi say, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. The competition is not the goal, the prize is the most important thing. Never let go of any chance to win" Zhang Wenhui laboriously rode on the back of his mechanical bird, flashing a fan that he didn't know where to find it, while not forgetting to criticize Zhou Bocai fiercely.

In this mechanical bird competition, the entire cowboy team was almost all dispatched except for those who participated in other events, and even the delicate female team members were not spared. Each of them shoved a mechanical bird into their hands, which immediately propelled them into the playing field. In Zhou Bocai's words, there is a chance to participate, and maybe one is not careful to become a champion. Moreover, these items are really not very dependent on personal physical strength, and items related to physical strength and racial talent have long been deleted during the preparation period.

"Yo, isn't this Huang Niangniang?" Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded behind Huang Tao, and then from Huang Tao's gnashing teeth, the name of the person who came, Peter of the Bullboys' biggest competitor, the Bullsquad's mineral expert. Both were experts in mineralogy, and they worked for two well-known adventuring teams, so it was normal to taunt each other.

The sound of "......" indicating that everyone was in place came, and Huang Tao glanced at Peter, who was tall and tall behind him, and muttered 'let's see' while driving the mechanical bird into the starting track. Suddenly, Huang Tao's gaze was fixed on an intelligent life with six tentacles.

That guy is from the Gun Crow, that is, a race that looks like a squid with multiple tentacles, and the number is relatively small and uncommon. Usually in the ship's damage management department, you can see these guys acting as maintenance engineers, but I didn't expect them to come to participate in the mechanical bird competition, didn't it mean that they can only participate in humanoid life. The reason why Huang Tao paid attention to him was not here, but why that guy's mechanical bird had four legs!

"He's cheating!" Huang Tao angrily pointed at the gun Wu player and shouted at the people around him.

"What's wrong?" The figure of the artificial intelligence responsible for monitoring the area jumped out.

"This guy's mechanical bird has two more legs, whose bird has four legs?!" Huang Tao hated the grievances. On this smooth road, which is all paved with interstellar alloy, a fool knows that four legs have an advantage over two.

"Uh...... I'm sorry, the birds of the home planet of the Gun Wu clan are four-legged, and they also took live specimens to prove it" The artificial intelligence pointed to the Gun Wu clan over there and motioned Huang Tao to look over there, and sure enough, the guy's third tentacle had a palm-sized four-legged bird coiled over his hand. After seeing that the verification was successful, the guy actually stuffed the specimen directly into his mouth and swallowed it.

"Gross!" Huang Tao's face turned green. I knew that it could be like this, Huang Tao installed his mechanical bird with wings, his bird has four legs, and my bird can still fly! Huang Tao slandered!

"Doot toot!" The sound of the start of the game sounded. With a violent roar, a group of mechanical birds ran wildly with their legs outstretched, and the terrifying acceleration directly set off a small cyclone, and then the people and birds disappeared into the distant metal valley.

In order to increase the difficulty of this race to compensate for the lack of rundown length. This time, the contestants of the mechanical bird competition are not allowed to bring maps, and cannot rely on auxiliary programs, and rely on their own judgment to determine the direction. Such a rule directly increases the difficulty of the game several times. You must know that the armor that covers the entire Kwafu mothership is not a single piece, but layers of armor like fish scales.

Not only that, but there are a lot of ravines with depths of tens of meters, so it is not easy to determine the exact direction. This is also the reason why Zhou Bocai sent everyone to participate in the competition. Because luck still accounts for a large part of this.

"Boom...... The claws of a large number of mechanical birds grabbed strongly between the gaps in the armor plates, making a rumbling sound. Huang Tao carefully identified the direction, and at the same time desperately urged the mechanical bird to turn flexibly and overtake. For Huang Tao, who has been dealing with large warships for a long time, this difficult orientation recognition will not cause him a lot of trouble. There are still rules to follow in the way the battleship hangs its external armor, so it's good to find it.

But not everyone is as experienced as Huang Tao. Thirty minutes into the race, the originally dense formation gradually thinned out due to the constant forks in the road, and many people who had planned to overtake the competitors in front of them found that there was no one around when they changed lanes and came out again!

At the same time, those who watch the game from outer space will find that a large number of players are circling around a small place, and some will collide with competitors from the other direction from time to time. The speed of the mechanical bird was completely useless in these repeated circles, and many people did not get out of the labyrinthine passage until they were left far behind by the people who set off with them.

"Audience friends, the first person running now is Lu Zhengfeng, a student from the Command Department of Mercury Academy, who stayed in the second formation because of his internship in the small universe during the dimensional war. These cadets are all recent graduates, and now most of them have entered the second formation fleet as junior officers.

Our Lu Zhengfeng cadet is currently serving as a trainee captain of the destroyer Taklama in the 17th Fleet, and is a very capable active duty soldier, judging from his grasp of the direction, Lu Zhengfeng has reached the point where he is quite familiar with most of the warships in the fleet, otherwise he can't explain that there has never been a wrong direction since the beginning of the game.

"Oh my God, look, someone's catching up, oh no, it's not one person, two in a row. Well, the identity has been confirmed, and now the second and third places are Peter and Huang Tao from the Bulls Squad and the Cowboy Squad respectively. The Bull Squad and the Cowboy Squad are the most well-known squads in the Golden Crow fleet's adventure group, one of them has recovered the fleet's third tech tree, and the other has found the third tribe of humanity.

Moreover, the main expedition ship they are using now is also from Boeing's base star, which is almost the most powerful warship that the entire Jinwu fleet civilian warship manufacturing company can make. But it's a pity that Boeing isn't here today, otherwise we might have been able to hear from a professional engineer about this classic warship.

According to the grapevine, the Cowboy Squad and the Bulls Squad are very unmatched, and the two have engaged in various forms of competition in various aspects. Now it's up to the two players from the Cowboys and the Bulls to see who is really the best......" Ignoring the scrupled speakers, a large group of contestants were almost still spinning in circles at the end of the hour and thirty minutes into the game. According to the verdict of the program, these people have no hope of winning, and after understanding the situation, many people have been disappointed and out of the game early, including the gun Wu clan who operated the four-legged mechanical bird.

On the playing field, as more and more players gradually figured out how to distinguish the direction on the external armor that was vertical and horizontal in the ravine, the confusion at the beginning of the game began to gradually disappear, and everyone began to accelerate and accelerate in the direction of the focus. In the process, many runners with an excellent sense of spatial direction even found a shortcut to the finish line in the complicated ravines.

The final result was that many players who had been called completely hopeless by the broken mouth commentators suddenly turned over, caught up, and even ran to the forefront by mistake for a period of time. However, the players who were still fighting bravely at the beginning did not change their paths, and the path they took was eventually proved to be in the right direction, but the distance was increased in disguise.

Some of those who started to lead were just taking advantage of their familiarity with the distribution of warships, but perhaps they didn't have much of an advantage in terms of spatial talent. Therefore, after many people with good congenital conditions reacted, the slight advantage at the beginning was gone, and even tragically overtaken, which has to be said to be the most surprising scene in this mechanical bird competition.

Such a result not only made the broken mouth commentators a laughing stock, but also made the result of the game a surprise. In the end, the first to cross the finish line was an Amy girl named Izana, who had just turned seventeen. This recruit, who has just joined the army for more than a year, has an unexpectedly excellent sense of spatial direction, and I have to say that even her commander was very surprised.

But this is a good thing for Izana, at least before she retires, she earns a very good dowry for herself. At the award ceremony, many people watching looked at Izana's eyes were green, and Izana shrank her neck timidly.

But the Emmy's attraction didn't last long. As the game ended, the audience's attention was quickly attracted by the venue left by the parade. There, the first intergalactic Quidditch tournament has officially begun with the ringing of the bell. (To be continued.) )
