Chapter 18: KO
Zhao Feiyan's blows were really hard, and they had already injured the bones.
By the time Xiao Zhang came to the R1 Cambridge Robotics Division, all the blood marks on his arms had disappeared.
Since the vitality coefficient skyrocketed, his body repair has been significantly faster, in the past, this kind of injury took four or five days to heal, but now it only takes more than ten minutes.
The R1 field is on the southwest side of Harvard High School, three blocks from the school, about three miles, and it is only a quarter of an hour's walk. This is the testing ground and competition ground for robots and mechas, and it is also the main arena for mecha battles. Many mecha competitions in Cambridge City are arranged here, and Zhao Jinlong is the competition inspector here.
The position of inspector is not large, and he is mainly responsible for inspecting and supervising the fairness and impartiality of the competition, as well as the qualifications of the participants.
Xiao Zhang learned in Zhao Jinlong's documentary that he had been working in the R1 race since he was eight years old to earn money to maintain his studies and raise his sister. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Zhang has a deeper understanding of Zhao Jinlong and an additional layer of admiration.
He is determined to start here: to make money, go to school, and improve himself.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and he's eating the other half of the photon snacks in his bag for dinner, barely filling his belly.
These snacks combined with half a catty of photon beef increased his vitality coefficient by 0.8 percentage points, and he lost 0.1 in recovery to 18.7, while the blue light coefficient increased by 0.3 to 43.2, and his attack power reached 38.8. Although he really wanted to take away the other half of the photon food, the little beauty Lori's brutal and willful temper made him a little unbearable, so it was better to make less trouble.
The R1 robot arena is very large and lively, the layout is a bit like the NBA arena in the 21st century, it is semi-enclosed, a sky is exposed above the field, the north and south are large stands, there are hundreds of private rooms built on the west side, and the east side of the entrance is divided into more than 20 large and small rooms.
The R-League is the most popular competitive competition in the 28th century, divided into three levels: R1~R3.
R1 is the lowest level of the robot competition, mainly for high school students and young people under the age of 18 to compete, can fight at will, but cannot use firearms; When you get to university, it's R2, the battle is more intense, and you can use designated firearms with restrictions; The higher R3 competition belongs to the interstellar league, which is jointly organized by the American imperialists, Mars, R Pluto, and the five major inhabited planets of the earth, there are almost no rules, the winner is king, there is no limit to death or injury, and it is only held once every few years. But because of the interstellar war, it has only been held once in a hundred years, and it has been abandoned halfway.
So, the main event still falls on top of R1 and R2.
Xiao Zhang came over at this time, but he didn't participate in the competition, he couldn't even talk about being a rookie, and he was not qualified to play at all.
In Zhao Jinlong's documentary, it is mentioned that all robots and mecha in Cambridge City that have entered the commercial field, as well as robots and mecha at all levels in the R1 arena, need to be tested before they are sold or competed, on the one hand, they are used to find problems and make modifications and adjustments; On the other hand, these robots and mecha must reach a certain ability in order to serve the society or play games to ensure quality safety and the excitement of the game.
The best tester is no better than people, that is, sparring partners.
Sparring partners also have levels, divided into one to nine levels, the lowest level is for those who have just developed a primary robot sparring partner, the first level of sparring partners is not demanding, and the attack coefficient is between 20~99.
Xiao Zhang walked into the management office on the east side with his schoolbag, first explained his intention, and then handed the business card that Zhao Jinlong gave him to the staff inside, a thin man in his twenties, he only took out a quick test and measured it briefly, and then took out a liability exemption contract for Xiao Zhang to sign, and led Xiao Zhang into the first passage on the left.
There were already seven or eight sparring partners standing in the passage, mostly young people from the bottom of society, dressed in rags, who came to earn some pocket money. Even Harvard High School students generally don't do first-level sparring partners. Regarding Xiao Zhang's appearance, these young people in society only glanced at it, and then continued to look ahead.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the passage, a large testing chamber can be seen in front of it.
This test room is 300 square meters, there are ten small high platforms, each high platform has a man-machine battle, it does not look intense, ten social youths are very easy to fight with robots. There are dozens of cameras around the room, monitoring every movement inside. If the picture is more intense, it will also be broadcast live on the outside arena for enjoyment when there is no competition.
The slim man threw Xiao Zhang two sets of aluminum alloy hand and knee pads, pointed to the electronic screen on the wall on the right hand side of the passage, and said: "Xiao Zhang, put on protective gear, you wait here for a while, take a look at the specific sparring rules first, and then scan the sparring button on the wall, and when your name is called on the radio, you can enter through the small door in front of you according to the instructions, and you can spar on the designated stage." Don't keep your strength when sparring, you can fight no matter how you want, even if you dismantle the robot, no one will hold you responsible. It also reminds you that the robot may have dismantled you as well. ”
The thin man's words attracted the same playful eyes of the other sparring partners, and everyone understood as soon as they heard that this was another rookie. They are all from the past, and they know that every rookie needs to go through a beating before they can join this bitter industry.
Xiao Zhang didn't know what was going on, only nodded with a smile, and stared at the electronic screen.
There are only seven clauses:
First, a three-session session lasts for one hour, with a 5-minute break in between.
second, the sparring partner wears M1 aluminum alloy hand guards (elbows) and knee pads (feet); The material of the limbs of the test robot does not exceed the maximum hardness of M1.
Third, shoot down the robot from the stage within the specified time, or disable the robot, that is, the sparring is completed; If a person falls to the ground or falls off the stage within the specified time, he can choose to terminate the sparring without any sparring fee.
Fourth, you can spin around the competition table when sparring, but you can't go out of the competition table, otherwise it will be considered invalid sparring.
Fifth, a sparring or test session should be conducted for at least 1 minute (except for being knocked out), otherwise the sparring or test will be permanently disqualified.
Sixth, the attack power of the primary robot is between 10~90 at the first level, the attack power of the first-level sparring partner is between 20~99, and the fee for a sparring is 50 yuan, which is provided by the robot developer.
Seventh, the first-level sparring partner is a temporary worker, and the disability is at his own risk, and the disassembly is exempt from liability, and the competition party is not responsible.
…
Five minutes later, Xiao Zhang walked up to the No. 6 test bench in the middle.
On the opposite side stood a humanoid robot wearing a black jacket and suit shorts, nearly one meter eight high, very rough in production, the head was simply made into a square body, shining silver, the production material was M1+ high-hardness alloy, long legs and long arms, and a little fine light flashed in the eyes from time to time, showing that although it was rough, it was not weak.
The biggest difference between robots and people is the life intelligence coefficient, the built-in life intelligence coefficient of low-level robots does not exceed 10, and the maximum intelligence of general-purpose high-level robots does not exceed 100, which is the limitation of scientific and technological capabilities.
As soon as Xiao Zhang stood up, the quadrangle head robot suddenly started, his left leg bowed slightly, and his right leg spun around and kicked sideways, slashing Xiao Zhang's chest.
The whole action is done in one go, and there is no stagnation to be seen, and the fast and ruthless will be played to the fullest.
This was Xiao Zhang's first real fight, and his consciousness was very inadequate, and he didn't suddenly react until the robot's long legs kicked in front of him. He leaned sideways, raised his elbows, and placed his arms in front of his chest.
Bang!
The long metal legs and the aluminum gauntlet slammed together, making a crisp sound, and a huge force and stinging pain struck, causing Xiao Zhang to grin, and the impact made him take three steps back in succession before standing on the edge of the stage.
This leg has at least 50 attack power, and the M1 aluminum alloy gauntlet worn on the hand has been severely deformed.
And this is just the beginning, the quadripartite head robot that took the lead did not stop for a moment, only to see it fly and jump, bow its body, bend its legs, raise its knees, and hit Xiao Zhang, who was unstable.
Xiao Zhang frowned, ignoring the pain in his arm, and slid out of the ground, flashing under the robot's sharp knees in a flash, all the way to the other end of the stage.
He was a little relieved in his heart, secretly glad that he had dodged the killing blow, and then jumped up, and was about to turn around, when the wind was blowing on the side of his head.
"Not good!" Xiao Zhang raised his arm in shock, instinctively blocking his head.
Bang!
A long leg with a silver light swept across, swept like a whirlwind on the arm that had just stood in the way of the head. His body also shot out like a cannonball, flying directly down to the high platform.
"The sixth station, Xiao Zhang, KO!" The indoor radio emits a clear, cold female voice.
