"Come again."

Chu Xuan expressionlessly pulled out the thermal axe embedded in the outside of the left knee of the zero machine, and said this very coldly to Rei Ayana, who was showing a painful face, and then opened the battle distance again.

"Yes."

The blue-haired girl in the video seemed to be a little paler, but she still gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her knees to regain her fighting stance.

In the world of Super Robot Wars, the driver's pain can be adjusted by itself, but for the regular drivers of various military organizations, the pain perception must almost be locked at 100%, in order to exercise the driver's strong will, and train them to save themselves or continue to fight in the event of an injury.

However, there are pros and cons to doing this, and its disadvantage is that many soldiers experience their powerlessness and the pain that makes life worse than death in advance, resulting in many soldiers losing their fighting spirit in the horrific death after horrific death before they really go to the battlefield to fight the insects, and decide to retire before they really die.

Although the army is not a place to come and go whenever you want, the kind of soldiers who have really broken down or are on the verge of collapse can still be approved for discharge, and the remaining soldiers will be pushed to the battlefield as long as they are mentally fine, no matter how low their morale is, and then die in battle or be executed as deserters.

- It is precisely because of this that the army has to cooperate with those idol singers, and try their best to ** those enthusiastic young people to join the army; Even famous generals such as Willy Young and Reinhardt had to make frequent appearances in the media and recruitment advertisements to "trick" the young people who admired them into their troops.

But those hot-blooded young people are not fools, because civilians can also practice driving robots on their own in Super Robot Wars, so those young people who aspire to become a real soldier will work hard to improve their skills in a low-pain or even painless virtual environment, until they will hardly die in the various "worm dungeons" in the game before joining the army.

And various military organizations are also accustomed to recruiting new recruits on the civilian rankings, which not only has a fairly high success rate, but also has a very good quality of soldiers, but the sharp reduction in the number of soldiers has made human beings have to take the route of elite soldiers, and have to develop various robots that can give full play to their abilities according to the "special qualities" of a certain type of driver.

Reiko Armor, IS Body, Dragoon System, λ-Driver...... There is also an AT force field, which is designed based on this idea, and their driver must also be a "qualified" person with a certain talent, which makes the weak girls can also become the main force in the battle, but it also makes the weak girls have to endure the horror of pain and death all the time.

- until they live long enough to be discharged, or die in battle.

"Click!"

"Uhh

"Come again!"

"Yes......"

"Bang bang...... Boom! ”

"Woo......"

"Come again!"

"......, it's ......"

Again and again, the green Zagu held a thermal axe, leaving deep visible scars on the giant orange robot's body, and the Zero's originally quite agile steps quickly became staggered under Zagu's attack, until his left leg was cut off from the knee and his head was cut off before he was completely silent.

With a flash of white light, Chu Xuan and Ayanami Rei returned to the small battle preparation room, although the physical pain had completely disappeared, and the mental damage had been smoothed out by the mental intervention system in the game warehouse, the girl's face was still pale and abnormal, not even a little blood.

It is really remarkable to be able to endure the great pain until the end, and even the vast majority of male drivers will use the "shock" method to protect their spirits when they have suffered such a serious injury.

The biggest advantage of the EVA body is that it is no different from the human body, but at the cost of having to make the driver suffer the same pain as the body.

Even if the pilots of other mechs adjust their pain to 100%, they don't actually have many chances to continue fighting while injured - injuries have no effect on them at all, and attacks that can injure the driver in the safest cockpit of the mech will most likely cause the pilot to die immediately and painlessly.

Although the soldiers in the cold weapon combat period are also engaged in this extremely cruel battle, but their descendants no longer have the courage to bear this "inhumane" pain, human science and technology are more developed, civilization is more progressive, life is better, and the "barbaric factor" in the blood will naturally gradually disappear without a trace.

"Leigh, well done."

Facing the strong girl who was tortured and killed by himself with an axe, Chu Xuan's first sentence was unreserved praise, but the girl who had suffered a lot did not show a happy expression, nor could she show a happy expression.

Ayanami Li just stared at Chu Xuan's reflective glasses with an expressionless face, and the red eyes that didn't have any look were calm and waveless, like a pool of stagnant water.

Perhaps the veterans of the Cold Weapon Era, who were covered with scars that represented honor, also had such eyes, they could not cheer because of victory, nor could they be happy because of the praise of their superiors, because they had endured too much pain, and their spirits were completely numb.

"What's next?"

The blue-haired and red-eyed girl asked Chu Xuan in an unusually calm and cold tone, as if she were a robot with no human emotions at all.

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and asked in a boring voice that was as smooth and uninhibited as ever:

"Can EVA Zero be put into combat testing in other game modes now?"

"No, it's forbidden by Dr. Akagi.

You will have to wait until the launch test on April 14 is successful before you can enter other game modes. ”

The auto-answering puppet made a sound again, her tone was even more indifferent than Chu Xuan's, and she couldn't hear the slightest hint of fear, as if the person who had suffered the pain just now was not her.

Or...... That level of pain wasn't enough to shake her will.

"So, that's the end of today's test, let's start with the battle summary."

Chu Xuan thought back to the arrangement on the schedule, then turned on the big screen in the battle preparation room, and began to use the battle replay function to explain to Ayanami Rei little by little what she had misjudged in the battle just now.

In the test just now, Chu Xuan had a relatively intuitive understanding of EVA's combat effectiveness and combat methods.

Without the AT force field, Eva would be nothing more than a very powerful human - ten times more powerful than the giants of the previous world, but the way she fought was still an ordinary human.

At best, EVA who can use high-tech weapons to fight is just equivalent to an unusually strong Zenith, but the Zenith has already driven an incomparably large space battleship, and EVA's most powerful weapon is only the Yang Electron Cannon that has not yet been fully developed, so it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the two is not at the same level at all.

Rei Ayaami's AT field training has just begun, and she is not yet able to unleash an AT field with some defensive ability, let alone apply the AT field to attacks, and can only use the AT field to neutralize another AT field - and it takes an unacceptably long time.

-- This is not taking into account the EVA energy problem, but simply the ideal situation of fighting from beginning to end with that thick cable stuck in the back of the EVA Zero.

As for the EVA's built-in battery...... It can maintain the body's action time for five minutes at minimum output, but only keeps the body active for one minute at maximum output, and no one will bet their hopes of victory on this minimum one-minute battle when they are unable to do anything.

However, if EVA's driver can have Chu Xuan...... No, if you can have the fighting qualities of Arnie, you can also exert very strong combat power with a huge robot with a lot of problems. (To be continued.) )
