Chapter 119: Solo Launch Test

Louis only said a few words: "General Chrome (Canadian-made third-generation skua) has been transferred to other bases to carry out missions, dangerous wanderers have been seriously damaged, Tango wolf pilot Gunnar has recently been recuperating from his injuries, the base has lost all its combat strength, and if the monster suddenly attacks, it will not even have the power to stop the monster from gaining time to evacuate." ”

This is all true, since the Dangerous Wanderer was severely damaged and General Chrome was transferred, Sterk-Pantcoster transferred the Tango Wolf stationed at the Tokyo base.

It's just that the tango wolf's driver, Gunnar, has recently been injured, and the tango wolf is now unable to dispatch, and the Alaska base is indeed in its weakest period.

"Moreover, Commander, you could do it at the beginning, and I, who is much more physically fit than you, can certainly do it. ”

Solo driving is considered impossible, but the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and there are always various accidents, and the current commander of the Skua Project, Steck Pantcost, has successfully piloted the Skua alone to defeat the monster Demon Witch.

"That's it?" Sterk-Pantcoster sat there, still waiting for Louie's next words, but Louie had stopped: "That alone won't convince me." ”

"But you're going to go back and wonder if it's possible, so why don't we skip these useless, time-wasting steps and just test it." As long as Louis said these words, Pantcoster will definitely think about the feasibility, after all, he is the commander, and he is responsible for the entire Skua plan, the defense arrangements of the whole base.

The situation of the Alaska base is here, if Louis can really start driving the tango wolf, at least until the dangerous wanderer is repaired, the Alaska base will still have the combat power to fight the monsters, not just decoration.

"But the test is very dangerous and can threaten your life, and I don't want to lose a good driver. "Skua drivers seem to have a lot of reserves, but most of them are not top-notch, and it's not for nothing that they can only serve as reserves.

A driver like Louie has the strength to fight monsters.

"How so? If the test is successful, you'll get an ace driver...... If it fails, you should be glad that a disobedient prickly head like me won't be a real Skua pilot. ”

"Aren't you a thorn in the eye if the test is successful?"

"Of course not, it just proves that my judgment is correct, and if you drive in tandem, no matter how high the degree of tacit understanding is, you can't compare to a person. Louis glanced at Steck-Pantcoster in front of him: "You who have once piloted a tango wolf alone and defeated a monster must know this very well. ”

Panthcoster was silent, just looked at Louis in front of him, and Louis also sat there and looked at Panthcoster.

The two men looked at each other for a minute, and Commander Pantcoster suddenly stood up, as if he didn't want to waste time with Louie, but before leaving, he suddenly said, "Test in three days, get ready." ”

"Yes, marshal. ”

Pantcoster is officially the Marshal of the Combined Pacific Defense Force, and all the Skuas and mecha bases are under his command, which is why Louie didn't think about going to other bases to convince other commanders, because in the end, they will all be gathered in front of him, why should he do that kind of useless work?

When Pantcoster left, Cai Tiantong, who had been silent, stared at Louis with surprise on his face: "You really convinced him? ”

"That's where the situation at the base is. "If there was a better option for Pantcoster, he wouldn't have agreed to Louis for the test.

But if you can really activate the mecha alone, it means that the Alaska base has another defensive force, and there will even be an ace pilot again.

The gap between the ace ska driver and the ordinary driver is too big, the base where the ace driver is stationed can ensure the safety of the base for several years, while the ordinary driver may die in a battle, and he will have to pay a very expensive and difficult thief.

According to Pantcoster's idea, when the dangerous wanderer is repaired, he is going to have Louie partner with a certain driver, with Louis as the main pilot, which should restore the Alaska base to defense.

Now it seems that if Louis can do solo driving, he will not have to worry about not being able to choose a suitable co-pilot - the difference in strength is too big, the co-pilot will lag behind, but will lose a good driver.

It was with these circumstances in mind that Pantcoster finally agreed to Louis's request and passed on the order to make various preparations for the test.

Three days seemed like plenty of time, but in fact it passed quickly, and the technicians at the Alaska base were busy for three full days, overhauling the Tango Wolf's one-man cockpit to make sure there were no problems, readjusting the Tango Wolf's internal drive system, and then moving the Tango Wolf to a workshop dedicated to the start-up test, before informing Louis to make preparations.

"I didn't expect to see you in this outfit so soon. ”

Skua pilots are required to wear a special circuit suit, which looks like a straitjacket and various armor (in fact, it is a device to connect to the body), and a special data transfer latex is injected into the circuit suit. Louie was wearing a close-fitting circuit suit, and suddenly remembered what he said to Jill: How many flags have I set up?

"What are you thinking?" Mori Asako saw that Louis was distracted, and asked curiously, "Are you nervous?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's too tight. ”

"You'll wear this outfit a lot in the future, and you'll get used to it sooner or later. Mazi saw that there was indeed nothing unusual about Louie, asked a few more simple questions, and left after recording them in his hand.

After putting on his equipment, Louis put on his helmet again and walked into the cockpit under the guidance of the technician.

Unlike the two-person cockpit seen in the movies, this cockpit has only one driver's seat, and Louis stands in a given position, and after snapping his feet into the device, a technician will help him connect to the position behind him.

Looking at the various panels and buttons in front of him, Louis recalled the various driving knowledge he had just learned and began to activate the driving system.

The entrance to the cockpit was closed, and Louis knew that the test was about to begin.

"Alright, Louie, are you ready?" heard the voice of Field Marshal Panthcoster over the communicator, and the entire base was currently watching the test.

When Pantcoster ordered a start-up test, the staff of the base didn't take it too seriously, thinking that the marshal just wanted to find someone to temporarily replace Gonnar, after all, the Alaska base is now a tango wolf that can fight, but Gunnar is still recuperating from his injuries, and if the monster attacks Alaska at this time, they can only wait for death.

In this case, it is normal for the marshal to pick a driver just in case.

However, when everyone figured out the content of the test, they were all stunned: the marshal was going to conduct not an ordinary pilot start test, but a single start ska test.

As for the driver who conducted the test, it was also the supernova Louis Hunter, who has recently become famous in the base.

Since joining the Alaska base, Louis Hunter has quickly shown a lot of quality to surpass the others, not only eliminating a lot of physical training, but also completing all the driving courses in just a few months, and also excelling in simulation training, and his fighting ability is invincible all over the base.

Such an outstanding performance has basically locked in the official driver qualification.

But this Louis Hunt doesn't know which nerve is wrong, and always wants to try to drive the ska alone, which is no secret in the base, everyone is gossiping.

Some people even set up a gamble: Can Louis convince the top management to conduct a solo driving test? Can Louis really drive a ska alone? Can Louis become the first official driver to drive a single skua? Will the top management prepare a new type of ska for Louis?

Basically, no one thinks Louis will be able to do the latter things. The people who were most optimistic about him only thought that he could convince Marshal Pantcoster to conduct a start-up test.

Wash and sleep, that's what a man can do?

Even at this moment before the official start of the test, most people were not optimistic that Louie would be able to successfully complete the test, and the emergency team was already on standby, ready to rush over for rescue.

At this time, after Louis finished the boot work before starting, he was adjusting his breathing and secretly running the Force to protect himself: just in case, he could weaken the effect appropriately until it was completely removed. Even if you can handle it, it's never a bad thing to be prepared.

"Ready!"

The activation of the neural connection was not in the cockpit, but in the hands of Cai Tiantong, the technical officer in the command room.

"Neural Connection Activation, 3, 2, 1, Activation!"

There was no memory surge, because Louie was connected to the Skua by himself, he just felt that his body suddenly became a lot heavier, this was the feedback given to him by the Skua mecha, and there was no other abnormal feeling.

"The connection was successful, and the tango wolf was successfully activated. ”

While Cai Tiantong reported, he stared at the various data feedback in front of him, he and Louie Ting could talk, and he didn't want the friends he just met to have an accident.

Pantcoster also didn't want to see an accident, and immediately used the communicator to ask Louie about his situation: "Louie, can you hear me?"

"Very clear, Marshal!" Louis said in a calm tone, sounding nothing unusual, to the surprise of everyone in the command room: even if you can bear it, won't you feel uncomfortable?

"How does it feel? Louie?" said Pantcoster, who was surprised to know how much 'pain' it was to drive alone, and it was definitely not a wonderful experience.

"Very good, Marshal!"
