"AI, enable ECS mode. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The effect of the ECS system is to use the electromagnetic waves at the same frequency as the reflected light of the body for phase interference, which can not completely make the machine disappear, but can greatly reduce the total amount of electromagnetic waves reflected by the body. Combined with the above-mentioned color simulation based on the surrounding environment, a similar effect of stealth can be achieved. However, it consumes a lot of power, and it is difficult for the body to perform drastic actions when it is started.
The AI's voice conveys the functioning of the body, and Kokoha exhales as the manipulator crouches down.
"Switch to MODE-1."
Simple motion capture with manual control, this is the principle of AS manipulation. By switching modes and system settings, you can set the level of feedback on the driver's movements, but at most you can't synchronize the body with the driver, which is very cumbersome, like playing a VR game, the room is so big, but you can go far - in a practical sense.
The precision was increased to the maximum, and the heart leaf got used to it a little, and was ready to attack.
It is impossible for the AS to convey the surrounding sounds and movements to the driver's brain completely and faithfully, and no matter how strong the reaction and physical fitness are, the body itself has a corresponding reaction time.
For God Chasers, fighting in a similar humanoid mecha can be said to be an ordeal. Hidden diseases, physical coordination and other conditions cannot appear in the god chaser, and the only thing that the god chaser needs to pay attention to is the mental state. Even a god-chaser with such omniscient enhancement is almost equal to zero, and his physical fitness is much better than it seems.
To put it simply, any god-chaser can become a qualified soldier as long as he has the appropriate training.
However, the humanoid machine of the frame is a very troublesome thing for them. Among the God Chasers, there are also people who use similar things as combat power, and that kind of people are not much more than the unstrengthened ones like omniscience. It is precisely because of the lack of reinforcement that Tsuru Juya has the idea of having Kokoba and Omniscient perform the restriction mission together.
Restricted quests don't get much more than regular quests, but restricted quests can greatly improve the evaluation of God Chasers, and among God Chasers, people who have not passed any of the Restricted Characters are called 'recruits'.
"57mm ******, solve three rounds of Red Moon, one round in ten nights, 11 rounds of residual ammunition..."
Red Moon and Crane Ten Nights did not even play an effective role in consuming ammunition.
Compared to Sagara's weapons, the "Peacekeeper" short gun held by Kokonoha's M9 is insufficient in both range and firepower, even if it hits the cockpit, the Peacekeeper short gun can't effectively penetrate the armor, although it's just a drill, but Kokoba still hopes to have a more powerful weapon, originally the reason why she used the firearm was to be able to cooperate with the gap to carry out surprise attacks, but the reason to control the mecha or use the short gun is almost gone.
But she immediately rejected this idea, she was very uncomfortable with manipulating the mecha, and it may be even more difficult to manipulate it if she changed to a weapon that she had not touched.
The AI alarm came, and before that, Kokonoha had captured the other's presence from the imager.
Positive?
That's what you want!
"AI, turn off ECS."
A huge black shadow appeared in the night, and his eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, a cannonball flew over the hill and struck at the cockpit in a delicate arc. Kokoba narrowly avoided the shell, and the "peacekeeper" in his right hand fired fiercely at the shell.
Another silver-grey M9 has finally appeared.
"Come on!"
As if he had gotten a new toy, Kokoba happily maneuvered the M9 and made an exaggerated S-shaped maneuver, narrowing the distance while avoiding Sagara's shells. The hit rate of the cover shot was really touching, but a shell still grazed the armor of Kokonoha's left shoulder, which did not affect the degree of battle, and Konoha suddenly stopped the mecha, this action made the body tremble for a while, and made a sound of enduring the heavy load.
Accelerating again, the black M9 dodged into the trees, and two shells hit the trees with the dodge of the heart leaf, leaving a cyan highlight paint on it.
This was followed by dazzling shooting, as well as a shocking maneuver.
Sagara's cannonball had just grazed through the bushes, and Kokotoha, who was traveling at high speed, fired several shots indiscriminately, one shot grazed the woods where Sagara was hiding, forcing the silvery-white M9 to start firing maneuver with Kokonoha.
Sagara's ammo ran out first, and he removed the tactical dagger from the M9's waist and walked under the firepower of the Heart Leaf Twin Guns.
The ammunition was exhausted with Sagara's assault, and Kokoba frowned slightly.
Four 30mm shells were enough to shred the M9's armor, and Kokoba made a decision, she rushed towards Sagara's mech, firing the last bullet of the "Peacekeeper" in her right hand, and pulling out her tactical dagger regardless of whether it hit or not.
The two M9s collided violently, and the heart leaf pushed down the joystick, and the overhead Vulcan cannons of the two bodies opened fire at the same time, and the M9's knees slammed into each other.
Sagara's M9 raised his right hand and struck Kokonoha's right arm joint hard, and Kokonoha also raised the peacekeeper to fire blindly at the opponent.
"Stop me fools!"
It was the voice of a dignified middle-aged man, and through the communication, some hoarse voices angrily reprimanded the two of them, and both of them stopped at the same time when they heard the voice.
"Ahh
――――
Richard Maducasse, Mithril's "World's Strongest Submarine in the World", and the co-captain of Danu's son.
He was reprimanding Kokoba and Sagara in the operations conference room with the commander-in-chief of the Special Operations Group, Major Andrew Segvich Kalinin. It wasn't until both of them looked dead that Maducas finally let the two go.
"Got it? A report of more than 1,000 words will be handed in tomorrow. ”
"Aye, aye, sir (yes, sir)."
Kokoba replied weakly, while Sagara's answer was much more powerful.
"Sergeant Heartleaf, I didn't hear your answer."
“Aye・aye・sir!!”
"Good."
The liberated Konoha finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat in the battle conference room with a bitter face, she glanced at the young man who was still sitting on the AS to fight him, but he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he had a resolute face that ordinary people did not have, it seemed to be a good toy, she thought so, and turned Sagara with her elbow who was just about to leave.
"Hey, Sagara, would you like to have a drink?" She made a playful expression.
"No, alcohol destroys brain cells, and if you want to do it for a long time, you can't do it without staying away from alcohol."
What I got was Sagara's straight face.,A serious answer.。
... Seems to be a much more boring guy than I thought, Kokoba leans back in her chair, but she really wants to get a drink.
Tsuru Shiye also came to the battle room, Sagara nodded to him, and left quickly, saying that there was a task ahead.
"How did it turn out?"
"As you can see, I saw a guy who was past me, and as boring as you."
Crossing Erlang's legs, Xinye held his mouth, and deliberately did not answer Crane Shiye's question.
"Doesn't it matter if you win or lose?" Tsuru Shiya didn't know where to come to this conclusion, and then sat down next to Kokoba, "AS's manipulation feels worse than I actually feel, and I guess I won't be able to become a combat force in this area in a short period of time." ”
"I didn't expect much."
Kokoba waved his hand boredly.
"I'm going for a drink, how long is the meeting time?" Forget it, let me know when the time comes, are you going? ”
"Nope."
Tsuru Shiye naturally refused.
"Alcohol destroys brain cells, so if you want to do this for a long time..."
“... Shut up. ”
Kicking into the chair, Kokoba made a very terrible expression and stared at Tsuru Shiye, and the man closed his mouth in amusement.
What a disgusting man.
"You say yes, right? Sister Mao! ”
Kokoba slammed the glass on the bar with a 'snap', complaining to the woman with short black hair next to him. A bar at the base of Mithril Merida Island, where a large number of soldiers gathered.
Melissa Mao, the leader of Sosuke Sagara's squad, a Chinese-American, is a very popular character among Mithril's female soldiers.
"Yes, those two fools are really similar in some inexplicable places," Sister Mao laughed heartily, "Boss, have another drink." ”
Mithril's base on Merida Island is poorly decorated and leaks when it rains, but it does have a bar, which makes Kokoba feel a lot better - after she gets the same emotions as humans, even in the previous battles, she still doesn't choose to control her feelings, perhaps... I want to experience it more.
So, what she experienced was probably some negative emotions.
For example, complaining about the decoration of this broken base, and complaining about the rational monster of Tsuru Shiya.
Thanks to Tsuru Juya, she realizes with great precision how annoying her past self was.
"That's the same with my child, didn't we get a mission to Japan recently? Go and protect the important people, and guess what about Sousuke? ”
"Going to school with a gun?" Kokoba could almost think of the ending, "And then find yourself in the shoe cabinet and blast it?" ”
"That's right! Hahahaha, it's very his style! ”
"I can guess..."
Although Tsuru Ten Nights wouldn't have done such an outrageous move, if Kokonoha's mission was similar... Kokoba can't imagine what it would be like for a crane to run to school at night... But...
Impossible, that guy.
