"Come, come in."

The instructor sat in the simulation cabin and greeted Bai E, "Let me first introduce to you the role that all the templates in the cabin can play when controlling the mecha. ”

This job was supposed to be done by Benson, and it has always been a tradition for the pilot reserve to lead a new recruit.

He was a reserve member of the last batch of regular pilots, and it was precisely because he was not qualified to pilot the mech on the frontal battlefield that he survived the last Zerg battlefield.

And now, the last batch of reservists has become a reliable workhorse in today's pilot training camp.

When the main force is unreliable, the instructor can only play in person.

"The only mecha you can access is this Thunder I. type, and more mecha types are generally not used as your regular driving vehicles, of course, if you have the opportunity to contact the mechanical court in the future, then maybe you can also see the style of other mechas, so far we will only talk about this one.

"The control module inside the entire mecha of the Thunder I is mainly composed of four parts, which are movement, action, and arsenal...... and energy centers. ”

[You are learning "Knowledge-Driving of Specific Vehicles (Armed Mechs)", progress by 1%. 】

"Movement is a wide range of walking, running, jumping, left, right, forward, backward, etc., ......"

"Movement is the control of small parts such as the forearm, upper arm, calf, thigh, back, waist and other parts of the fine manipulation."

"The arsenal can also be said to be a tactical response strategy in time for war, and we currently have an alloy chainsaw sword, a Vulcan gun with a 3,600 fire rate per minute, a giant flamethrower, two small missile matrices, and two small-yield nuclear warheads. Of course, there are some assembly slots for special equipment reserved on the mecha, and if you have any special favorite weapons, you can also apply to your superiors and assemble them separately or make small modifications. This will be discussed when you have a chance to get familiar with the mech. ”

"As for the energy center, it's more special, we'll talk about it later."

"Under normal circumstances, such a mecha requires the cooperation of two pilots to operate it in battle."

To put it bluntly, a mecha is a large human body, and what the pilot has to do is to act as the nerves and blood vessels inside the mecha.

Imagine the precise coordination of the bones and muscles inside the body under all the movements that the human body may use in battle, the existence of the mecha is to carefully disassemble the countless smooth processes completed by instinct on the human body into independent movements, and the pilots in the cockpit will transmit commands and power to the corresponding parts at the right time, so as to simulate the agility and strain similar to the human body's actions.

"Generally, one person controls the selection of the movement module and the arsenal, we call it the 'host division', and the host engineer is mainly responsible for the strategic judgment of forward and backward in the general direction and the targeted tactical selection of the corresponding opponent's arsenal, which is equivalent to the brain of the mecha."

"In order to be as flexible as possible to the human body, there are a large number of small parts on the mecha that can be controlled individually, and the control of these parts is all in the hands of the 'Fighter Pilot' alone. The combat actions of the enemy in the face of battle are basically led by the 'fighter division'. ”

"As for the energy centers I just mentioned...... The drive power of different parts needs to be adjusted at all times, and its control is not fixed in the hands of any one pilot. ”

"The two of them can work together to perfectly drive a Thunder I. armed mecha. In the hands of the higher the level of the pilot, the more agile the performance of the mecha becomes, and the closer it is to the sensitivity of the human body. ”

"I've heard you're pretty good at martial arts and shooting, right?"

The instructor who was talking suddenly turned his head to look at Bai E.

Facing the other party's gaze, Bai E lowered his eyes a little "overwhelmed", "Will ...... Will be a little. ”

"Be confident...... I've heard a lot about your legends. The instructor patted Bai Er on the shoulder and continued to explain.

"In fact, there is a certain similarity between the control of mecha and the combat and weapon fighting that you normally use your body to do, and the fighters who are good at fighting and fighting often have the same amazing performance in manipulating mechas.

But there are also many differences. For example, if the human body wants to make the largest punch of the body, it often needs to pull the fist behind as much as possible to ensure that there is enough distance to exert force, but the mecha with a built-in power system does not need this, as long as it gives a command, it can complete the maximum output under the power limit in the shortest distance.

Of course, the orders issued by the pilot also need to be judged in advance to ensure that the various power systems inside the mecha have enough time to output power, but the mech itself will not be subject to some superfluous actions that must be performed due to the limitations of the human body. You can feel the difference between them when you actually control the mech. ”

[You are learning "Knowledge-Driving of Specific Vehicles (Armed Mechs)", progress is 17%. 】

"Your actual combat ability is very powerful, and you may be able to become an excellent 'fighter pilot' in the future."

The instructor's voice paused, and it seemed that the introduction ended there.

Bai Er finally had time to ask his own question, "Isn't there anyone who can fly a mecha alone?" ”

"Hehe~" The instructor laughed heartily twice.

The targeting of other people just now may not have caused much twists and turns in the mentality of this android warrior, but it may have aroused a bit of arrogance in him.

No one wants to be in a group with me, so I'll be in a group by myself.

But this is not possible.

"Many new pilots who are new to mecha training will have thoughts like yours, but you have to understand that this is impossible. Come, imagine if you wanted to do a forward tumbling motion right now, what would you do? ”

The picture of himself flipping forward flashed in his mind in an instant, and Bai Er's eyes looked at the cockpit, which was full of various buttons and the layout of the operating sticks.

The instructor is not too difficult, his words are just to arouse Bai Er's imagination.

As he spoke, he also explained and demonstrated, "Come on, let's break this movement down little by little - first of all, in terms of movement, we need to jump forward with the power of our legs, right?" ”

[You are learning "Knowledge-Driving of Specific Vehicles (Armed Mechs)", progress is 21%. 】

"Hmm~" Bai Er nodded and gestured to listen.

"Then our upper body needs to lean forward to move the center of gravity forward as much as possible, you have to know that the body of the mecha is only not subject to some restrictions of human muscle tissue, but it must always follow the actual laws of physics."

"Hmmm......"

"What about the arms? In order to maintain the center of gravity and maintain the combat posture of our entire body after rolling, we must also make corresponding coordinated movements. It's not much different from you doing a normal tumbling with your own body, right? ”

"Yes."

"So how many action commands do we need to output in this seemingly simple action?"

"Three?" Bai Er tilted his head and cooperated with the instructor's explanation.

"No......" the instructor shook his head, "it's nine." To jump with our thighs, we first need to send commands to the energy center to adjust the energy supply of the legs before we can jump, which is already two. At the same time, the upper body is pressed forward, the upper arm and the lower arm are supported, three commands. After the palm of the hand supports the ground, the waist drives the legs to flip back, increasing the energy supply of the arms, and the upper arms and lower arms are straightened to push the body back to the standing combat posture, four commands. Nine in total. Is it complicated? ”

When the human body wants to do something, the body naturally allocates and performs it as if it were instinctive.

But the mecha is a dead thing, and humans are its brains, nerves, and blood vessels.

Any small decision requires a human to make a decisive command output before it can be thoroughly implemented.

Increasing the energy supply without mobilizing the body, you can only roar on the spot.

Mobilize the body without giving energy, undoubtedly motionless.

"I'm talking about the easiest process...... To put it more seriously, the process of bending the knees is indispensable when our human body turns forward, right? This is what the human body must do if it wants to exert force. ”

"Hmm." Bai Er nodded.

"But in piloting a mech, the process of 'bending the knees' isn't really necessary for us to do the 'forward flip' action, right? Because the mecha's body does not need to rely on 'knee bending' to exert power. ”

"Yes."

"But what if we don't type the 'bend the knee' command? What do you think it will look like? ”

The picture flashed in Bai Er's mind—

The mech fell straight forward, and then its legs were lifted up by its arms as if it were a picture of diving.

"Got it?" The instructor looked at Bai E's eyes as if in contemplation, "We can not perform 'knee bending', but that will undoubtedly make our movements larger, take longer, and have more flaws. If it is in the actual combat of our human body, this is enough to determine life and death.

And you see, all of this I'm talking about is based on a simple environment without any distractions, imagine if you're on the battlefield, and you're done with this forward dodge and immediately have to decide what kind of weapon to use to counterattack, where to attack, and so on.

Not to mention these complex action decisions and instantaneous simultaneous or sequential command output, even when you have to choose between armor-piercing shells, stun bombs, or incendiary bombs in the ammunition compartment of the Vulcan machine gun, do you think you can still handle it? ”

“……”

As it sounds, it's a bit tough.

"What about more people?" Bai E asked curiously.

"More?" The instructor shook his head, "As I said earlier, the execution of a big action is indispensable for the coordination of various execution orders. The cooperation of the two people still has to test the tacit understanding, if more people manipulate, the left arm forward, the right arm back, the thigh squat, the calf drive jump...... Can you imagine the chaos? ”

Mecha are no different from tanks and airplanes, and if you want to pursue the flexibility of a human body, you need fewer "brains" to output commands.

If one person can't handle it, the more people will be more chaotic.

Two people, after a long period of practice, determined that the most reasonable configuration to operate a mecha.

"Huh~" Bai Er nodded, keeping it in mind.
