Chapter 117: Pacific Rim
The fog instantly submerged Louie, and in the blink of an eye, the fog disappeared, and Louie sighed, knowing that he had been sent to another world.
"I don't know where I've been?"
Looking left and right, it seems to be a very ordinary modern town, and from the signs around it, you can tell that this is the earth: because the signs are mainly in English.
Walking out into the street, I kept looking around, wanting to get more information, and by the way, I checked out the mission this time: kill five monsters and destroy the crossing.
"Monsters?" Louie never expected that this mission was actually to kill monsters, and from the mission introduction, it can be known that there are still a lot of monsters, and there are teleportation points: "This setting is a bit familiar." ”
Looking around, Louis saw a small supermarket, walked in and pretended to buy something, and watched TV for a while, hoping to hear useful information.
I don't know if it's his luck or if it's the information specially prepared by the Seal of the Brave, but the TV is playing useful information for him: the man on the screen is talking about the Wall Project, claiming that this is a more reliable way to fight the Chrysanthemum Beast than the Skua Project......
Seeing this, Louis already knew what world he had arrived.
"The skua plan, the wall, the chrysanthemum beast...... Pacific Rim. Buying a bottle of Coke, Louie didn't leave in a hurry, and chatted with the cashier like an ordinary person: "This guy has said so much, and I don't know if that wall is really useful?"
"Who knows? That's what these guys said when Project Skua started. Maybe it's too boring to be a supermarket cashier in this place, and when the cashier's brother saw someone chatting with him, he immediately chatted with Louis.
In just half an hour, Louis already knew that he was in Kodiak, Alaska, and the Alaska base, one of the eight mecha bases in the Pacific Rim, was not far away, and the base had been recruiting Skua pilots for many years.
"You're going to sign up?"
After chatting for a while, Louie's questions focused on the hunter mecha driver, and the cashier brother had a normal IQ, and he quickly guessed Louie's thoughts.
"Yes, I'm going to drive the skua and hit those monsters on the head. ”
"I wish you success. ”
"Thank you. ”
Coming out of the small supermarket, Louis had already figured out the situation, and by the way, he also sorted out his thoughts: "It seems that he is going to be a driver again." ”
The plot of the Pacific Rim is not complicated, that is, the monster suddenly came to the earth to wreak havoc, and the earth man made a giant mecha 'skuma' and the monster to the death, and finally succeeded in defeating the monster, and blew up the pioneer's lair through the crossing, and successfully saved the world.
After thinking about it, the best way to complete the task is to become the pilot of the skua.
First of all, the monster of this world (Kaiju Beast) is close to 100 meters tall, and the fifth-level monster that appeared at the end is close to 200 meters.
It's not impossible not to open the mecha, Louie can rely on the powerful power of the lightsaber to climb onto the monster, and then break a small hole into the monster's body to kill the monster from the inside.
But he remembered that this monster was a pioneer of alien creatures, a specially made biological weapon, and its body was full of all kinds of giant poisonous substances and radiation, and if you wanted to kill it in the body, you had to wear a thick protective suit, and that kind of appearance was quite inconvenient to act, so it was better to turn on the mecha and beat the monster to death.
The government of this world will develop a giant mecha like a skua because the body of the monster contains huge poison and radiation, and after killing it with many weapons, it will cause great damage to the earth's environment, so it creates a hand-to-hand weapon like a mecha, and strives to beat the monster to death with internal bleeding.
It's just that the monster is getting stronger and stronger in the later stage, and the mecha pilot is trying his best to kill it reluctantly, and he can't care about any pollution or not, so naturally he uses any powerful weapons.
In addition, the crossing opened by the alien pioneers and specially used to send monsters to Earth was located in the Mariana Trench, so deep at the bottom of the sea, he didn't know how to get close to it without driving a skua.
"With my physical fitness, it shouldn't be difficult to become a driver. ”
The requirements for the driver are quite high, the physical fitness must be passed, and the level of education must be sufficient, otherwise it will not be able to master the operation of so many instruments and emergency troubleshooting, and at the same time, it must be proficient in martial arts.
These requirements are met, the only trouble is that the skua needs two drivers, and after the drivers are connected nerveally, there are few secrets between each other.
"I wonder if my current physical fitness and mental strength can support solo driving?"
There have been successful solo driving experiences in the film, but they have all had more serious side effects, and Louie's physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary humans, so he may be able to be immune to those side effects?
"It's hard to know for sure just by guessing, so let's try it out for yourself. ”
found a taxi at a nearby intersection and asked the driver to send him directly to the gate of the Alaska base, and Louie came to this Alaska mecha base smoothly.
Not only is it one of the major defense bases in the Pacific Rim, but it is also a production base for mechs and a training base for pilots.
Manufacturing, training, and combat, all here, the strongest Skua in the base is the third-generation mecha dangerous wanderer, and it is also the strongest combat power in the Alaska base.
Getting out of the taxi, Louis noticed a poster recruiting drivers next to the base's gate, along with a sign to let those who wanted to sign up know where to go.
This saved a lot of trouble, and Louis only had to follow the path indicated by the signs, and quickly found the driver's registration point.
"Hello, are you here to sign up for a driver?" The receptionist saw Louis coming over directly, and after a brief question, he had already taken out the form and pen: "Fill in personal information." ”
Louis looked at the table, it was full of basic information, such as names and so on, and there was nothing more than that.
It seems that there is a shortage of drivers on the base side, and they don't care about the situation of the applicants, they only care about whether the applicants can become qualified drivers.
On the way here, after learning that Louis wanted to sign up to become a driver, the taxi driver also said a lot of things: for example, fewer and fewer people signed up to become a driver, it was difficult to become a Skua driver, and there was no one out of a hundred applicants, and more and more drivers died in battle.
In other words, the skua driver has passed the most prosperous period and has become a high-risk and low-reward job.
But it had nothing to do with Louie, his purpose was to complete the task, and he felt that those 'clumsy' chrysanthemum beasts could not threaten him at all, and those things were just stat points waiting to be collected by him.
Louis filled out the form and handed it to the reception staff, the other party just took a brief look, and after making sure that Louie had filled it out, he didn't do any verification, but asked Louie if he had any personal matters to go back to deal with?
"If you have a personal matter, you have three days to take care of your personal business, and then you have to come back here and get tested, and once you pass the test, you can't just leave the base. The receptionist explained the situation and explained why Louis was given time to deal with personal problems: "If not, you can go for the test now, and if you pass the test, you have to start the training...... Again, you can't leave the base for a long time. ”
"I can get tested right now. ”
Louie had no personal affairs, of course, he had been in this world for less than two hours, and he wanted to start training immediately.
"Go in through that door and someone will take you to get tested. The receptionist handed Louis the form back to Louis and asked him to carry it through the side door.
Louis took the form and opened the door, saw a soldier with a serious face looking at him, saw the form in Louie's hand, reached out to ask for it, and led Louie through the long passage to a spacious and bright physical examination room.
There were several doctors in white coats, and when they saw Louis coming, they joked: "It's been a long time since anything new has come to the door, and behold, it's a young and sturdy lad." ”
"......" Louis didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly, and followed the instructions of these doctors to perform various tests.
In addition to basic tests such as height, weight, and eyesight, there were more detailed tests, and Louie was examined from the inside out, and the results were quickly given.
"I've been working here for several years, and it's the first time I've seen such a strong young man, and it's enviable. An old doctor with round glasses took the test results and looked at Louie's body in surprise: "I am optimistic that you will become a good ska driver." ”
"Thank you. ”
This medical examination is only the beginning, which can only prove that Louis has the basic qualities to become a driver, and then there will be a cultural knowledge assessment to determine whether Louis's knowledge level is qualified.
Because Louie's physical fitness was too impressive, the inspectors thought that as long as Louie's knowledge level was not too bad, they would let him pass.
Now there are fewer and fewer people signing up for drivers, let alone such excellent seedlings. Even if the cultural class is almost there, it's a big deal to give him a separate make-up class outside of training.
Louis did not give himself the opportunity to make up the class in the small class, and passed the second round of the assessment smoothly. And Louis's excellent qualities attracted the commander-in-chief of Project Skua Steck-Pantcoster.
"Is that this young man?"
Standing on the other side of the mirror, watching Louis carry out the third test: after passing the first two, Louis has been determined to become a reserve Skua driver, and the subsequent assessment is to better determine Louie's current ability.
"This is the first person he's knocked down?"
"The third. The third event was not fixed, and Louis said that he knew martial arts, so he had someone test his fighting ability, and the results surprised everyone: "It's all about knocking out opponents instantly. ”
