"Congratulations."

Ivanov said to Zhang Yang and Thomas, Zhang Yang patted the Russian man on the shoulder, and comforted: "Aren't we still in the same camp, we are retired, and you will take the top, we are the first three driver's seats of the "Steel Fist" in disguise." ”

"That's right, if there's a second steel fist, it's definitely you."

Thomas also squeezed over from the side, comforting.

"Don't worry, I'm not so easy to be hit, but it's you, don't let me sit on the bench before it's hot, and you will be carried down."

Ivanov patted his strong chest, and at the same time reminded Zhang Yang that the battle that would be fought in the future was a real battle, not on a simulator, it would be dead.

Because they were about to participate in the synaesthesia test, Zhang Yang and Thomas just chatted with a few familiar people, and then hurried to the No. 2 cockpit under the leadership of the staff.

Cockpits 1 and 2 were located on either side of the center, and through the large glass windows in the center, the mech's condition could be clearly observed, and Zhang Yang and Thomas were taken to a room, where the staff put on gray electronic combat uniforms for them.

The electronic combat suit, which is about 2 centimeters thick, is made of special high-elastic polyester material, which can withstand temperatures of less than 150 degrees, and there is a thin layer of special cushion in the middle of the suit, which can effectively reduce the damage caused by the shock to the driver, and because the driver needs to use his feet to link the mecha brake, the fixation devices for the ankles and other joints are specially reinforced. Otherwise, if you fall into the brakes in battle, you can only be stirred into meat on the spot by huge gears, and you won't even have bones and slag left.

"Electronic warfare suit number jù connection normal ......"

"Driver's physical condition test is normal.......

"Whereas, this is your first time boarding. Please follow the 6th preparation procedure in the Mecha Manual to perform a self-check, this prompt will not appear again after the next equip. ”

"Breathing was smooth and there were no problems."

Zhang Yang tried to breathe, it felt smooth, the transparent mask in front of him did not affect his vision, and he looked left and right, the staff behind Thomas. A mechanical keel is being mounted on the back of the electronic warfare suit, which is simulated according to the spine of the human body, and is one of the important parts of the link between the pilot and the mecha. Another important part is the number of the helmet.

Unlike the electronic warfare suits of a few years ago, they are an improved model, and the original bulky electronic warfare suits are much lighter.

Originally, Zhang Yang was going to remind the control center to prevent Mazi from leading the zhì mecha to run wild when he was out of control. It was later learned that it was for security reasons. The No. 2 cockpit where he and Thomas were tested first, obviously compared to Asako, the two novices who were doing synaesthesia for the first time made PPDC worth waiting for.

Well, since he has been given special attention, Zhang Yang can only honestly obey orders, and it is definitely not a wise thing to go against the control center at this time.

The whole process of mecha delivery is to issue combat orders and the driver is in place. Equipped with electronic combat suits, landing cockpit. After the cockpit is overhauled, it is allowed to be put into use, linked to the mecha body, and then synaesthesia.

Among them, because the cockpit and the mecha body are isolated separately, there are special personnel to carry out maintenance in peacetime, to ensure that they can be put into place as soon as possible after the issuance of combat orders, and the weapon devices and fuel devices are monitored separately 24 hours a day, you must know that once the nuclear reactor leaks in the base, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Zhang Yang, this is the control center, I am General Pante, and I will enter the cockpit and conduct a synaesthesia test after getting ready."

"Understood."

General Pant's voice came from inside the electronic battle suit, Zhang Yang looked at Thomas, apparently he also received the same prompt, and after the staff confirmed that the equipment was correct and the physical condition met the standards for getting on the plane, the heavy metal door to the cockpit opened with a bang.

In order to prevent someone from deciphering the internal network of the base, the entrance to the cockpit is not connected to the network, and the opening and closing all rely on the manual control of personnel and passwords.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yang walked into the cockpit, for the basic layout in the cockpit, Zhang Yang is already very familiar, this is thanks to the two mecha simulators, according to the distribution of the control center, Zhang Yang is in the No. 1 position, Thomas is in the No. 2, the main and co-pilot is not determined by the number, but by the control center.

When they entered, the cockpit was already lit up with sporadic lights, and a gap was revealed in the ground of the cockpit, and the device extending from it was a brake, which controlled the pace movement of the mecha by the sole of the foot, and there was a connecting device behind each driver's seat to connect the driver and the mecha, the soles of the feet, the arms, the back, and the brain, which were four locations with connecting and fixed nodes.

Zhang Yang didn't go up directly, but clicked a few times on a button next to him, and a string of English then jumped out.

"Settingharnessfortestmode."

The red warning light next to the button turned yellow, and after flashing a few times, it turned green, which means that the mecha has entered the test mode by default, just like pressing F8 when the computer is turned on to jump to safe mode, in the mecha test mode, some functions with dangerous actions are prohibited.

The first prohibition is that the leg control system of the mecha is temporarily taken over by the system, and the driver's actions do not affect the movement of the mecha, otherwise he only needs to lift his feet in the base to destroy the ground of the base, and the arms of the mecha are allowed to move, and the redundant devices within the moving range have been removed one after another to prevent them from being affected.

For those who know that the engine is tested by an aircraft, the engine itself is fixed, because it is just a few simple tests, and a number of jù are collected, so there is no need to run at full strength, and there is no need to worry about the aircraft being blown away, of course, the wind tunnel test conducted by the builder at the time of appearance is an exception.

The pilot lands on the mecha for the first time and establishes synaesthesia for the first time, which is nicknamed "the first night" by PPDC, which is the first time that both parties hand over to each other, and the highest accident is the first synaesthesia, so the mecha must enter the test mode, in which the danger is minimized.

"The mode adjustment is complete, waiting for the driver to plug in."

The system prompt sounded, Zhang Yang and Thomas glanced at each other, each put on an electronic helmet, and then the staff behind him made a physical connection, tightened the link position on the electronic combat suit, and waited until the link indication turned into a green light, and the staff left.

The people who can enter the cockpit are all experienced staff, none of them are novices, they are very familiar with the structure and link of the cockpit, and can correctly complete the link between the mecha and the pilot in the shortest time, and such a busy link is just an inconspicuous small link in the mecha project.

Due to the large size of the mecha and the complex and sophisticated internal structure, each mecha needs at least hundreds of professional and skilled workers to carry out maintenance and inspection in different categories.

In addition to the cost of mecha maintenance, just feeding so many mouths, as well as the normal expenses of the base, can drag down the economy of a small country.

What is high investment and low return, this is a typical example.

If it weren't for the monster invasion, no one in the world would have opened their pockets and taken out an extremely large amount of money to start the Skua Project, if these funds were placed in a certain cause in any country, such as education, it would be enough for the whole of China to establish a national free compulsory education school, and enough for a person to go from kindergarten to college graduation.

"The cockpit door is closed."

After the technicians left, the cockpit door automatically locked and turned on a red light, and Zhang Yang and Thomas were already standing in their respective seats, because Zhang Yang could completely blow up N Thomas in the theory test, so some practical operations and mecha control were controlled by Zhang Yang.

According to the distribution of the control center, Zhang Yang is responsible for the theory and mecha control aspects, that is, the legendary main pilot, who is the captain on the plane and the captain on the ship, and Thomas, because his own fighting skills are more exquisite, is specially responsible for the combat system and serves as the co-pilot, and Zhang Yang's body can completely keep up with Thomas's consumption, which is also the reason why the control center finally chose two people to become "steel fist" pilots.

The two of them each play their own strengths, of which the right arm belongs to Zhang Yang is in charge, Thomas is in charge of the left arm, after the synaesthesia, the consciousness and memory of the two people will merge into one, one person can think of anything and the other person can see, so although they are two pilots, they are like fingers for the control of the mecha.

"The mecha self-test system has been passed and the cockpit has begun!"

After completing the self-test according to the process, Zhang Yang and Thomas experienced the feeling of falling quickly again, and after the cockpit and mecha were combined, the vibration from the feet of the two was far more violent than that of the simulator, but this was not a big problem.

The indicator light on the control panel in front of you that represents the communication channel is lit green, indicating that there is an external link access, and it is the control center.

"Zhang Yang, Thomas, I'm General Pant, before I carry out synaesthesia, I want to remind you cautiously once, this is not in a simulator, but in a mecha, in the process of synaesthesia, you must go with the flow, don't fall into memories, otherwise it is likely to cause an extremely strict impact."

Pantcoster stood in the center of the control, looking at the huge "Steel Fist" mecha outside the glass window, and said with a solemn face. (To be continued......)
