Chapter 30: The Most Appropriate
"Do you want to be a driver?"
Chu Xuan almost used the method of "smashing" to throw this unforeshadowed question on Luo Gandao's face, which shocked the mind of this young man who was only seventeen years old.
Luo Gandao looked at Chu Xuan's eyes, and the other party's gaze from behind the lenses of his glasses did not have a trace of deception, and the meaning could not be clearer. Everyone has to take action, which means that the veterans of the Central Continent team have their own work to do...... Your chance, it's really here!
"I ......"
- Think about it yourself, if one day, the veterans really let us who have just entered the main god space to pilot the mecha, then it can only mean one thing, they don't dare to drive the mecha themselves to risk fighting monsters, but want to use us as cannon fodder and reap the fruits of victory by themselves.
Who doesn't love giant robots? Not to mention that Rogandao has worked hard to become a mecha hunter and one day truly step into the cockpit to fulfill his dreams. He subconsciously wanted to agree, but at this moment, Xie Luyin's almost forgotten words before rang in his ears for some reason, making him hesitate.
- People always have to plan a little more for themselves.
Even if Luo Gandao at this time understood that Xie Luyin, who betrayed the reincarnation team and defected to the aliens, was 100% sowing discord, but what she said was really not a trace of truth?
- Why is it my turn? The veterans of the Middle-earth team, is there really no one who can take it off? Are they really so relieved that the only power that can fight against monsters is in the hands of me, a newcomer?
“…… There should be a better candidate than me, right? ”
Forcibly stopping the words that were about to blurt out, the corners of Luo Gandao's mouth barely hooked up a smile that was even uglier than crying, although he knew that his facial expression management was extremely poor, and Chu Xuan would see the flaws at a glance. But at this time, on the one hand, he didn't dare to respond, and on the other hand, there were indeed quite a lot of questions in his heart: "Raleigh Beckett and Mori Mako, they are the most suitable candidates to attack in a giant mecha, and I can't even find a partner who can try to carry out mental power induction." ”
"What's more, Colonel Chu Xuan, you also said just now, the six mechs are now unable to attack, you need to stay here and restore their combat ability as soon as possible......"
"You didn't understand what I just said."
Suddenly, Chu Xuan interrupted Luo Gandao's words, and he said calmly, "The question I ask you is, 'Do you want to be a driver?'" Instead of, "Do you want to be a mech hunter?" ’。 ”
What do you mean?
Chu Xuan's explanation made Luo Gandao even more confused, he didn't understand why the other party had to emphasize this title, whether it was a mecha hunter or a pilot, it was exactly the same, unless......
"Come with me."
Seeing that Luo Gandao's brain was down, obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm, Chu Xuan didn't add much nonsense, his fingers quickly swiped on the microcomputer, and one of the walls of the laboratory made a noise and separated to the left and right, revealing a dark passage.
After that, Chu Xuan walked straight into it by himself, and Luo Gandao, who was still stunned, hurriedly followed, and the excitement and doubt in his heart that he had discovered a great secret were intertwined: "Colonel Chu Xuan, we are ...... this"
"How to balance flexibility, destructiveness and mobility is a big problem in mecha design."
Chu Xuan went all the way down the stairs, his speed was so fast that Luo Gandao, who had to pay attention to his feet while listening to him carefully, almost trotted to keep up with Chu Xuan's pace.
Fortunately, with Chu Xuan's footsteps all the way down, the lights on the surrounding walls also lit up in turn, but it added to a mysterious atmosphere: "In order to fight against monsters of seventy or eighty meters, the humans of this world have chosen a design that is basically the same size as the monsters, and every meter high and every point of weight of the mecha means that it has exchanged speed for strength, so that even the most advanced fifth-generation 'Eureka Raider' can only barely make running movements before I bring the Mental Force Sensing Framework System to this world." As for fighting, dodging, and even using fighting skills like real humans, don't even think about it. ”
Luo Gandao subconsciously accepted Chu Xuan's explanation, in fact, he could also see that in that battle with the monster, although the Eureka Raider was more than flexible, he still had the strength to fight like a real elite soldier, play a set of military body punches, or use fast, accurate and ruthless killing techniques.
Of course, no one expected an eighty-meter-tall mecha to be that flexible, after all, even humans over two meters would inevitably move a little slowly. But Chu Xuan's meaning was obviously ......
"There are well-known objective laws about the relationship between size, weight, and strength, and the marginal benefit does exist, and when the size of the mecha exceeds a certain threshold, continuing to delve into this aspect will only achieve half the result. Adhering to the principle of 'big is good, heavy is beautiful', they have piled up too many resources on the defense and attack power of the mech, so that they have completely failed to consider the due mobility. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Xuan let out a voice that seemed to be a sneer, provoking Luo Gandao, who was struggling to understand these words, shrank his body: "This point is determined by the background of this world, due to the strong pollution of the monster's blood, the mecha was deliberately made into a bulky and powerful type. Most of the time, mecha hunters need to drive mechs to fight monsters, and there are even records of mechs beating monsters to death with their fists in the PPDC database. ”
"Perhaps in the early stages of the battle, this design was reasonable, but all the time it was only about size and destructive power, and neglected flexibility, and it fell into path dependence. Just like the battleships that pursued big ships and huge guns in World War II, but with the development of science and technology, they were eliminated by aircraft carriers...... On this note, PPDC was previously only able to use helicopters to lift mechs to the battlefield, and it was the rocket backpack I developed that allowed them to get out of this dilemma. ”
"And as members of the reincarnation team who are not in this world, we don't need to be divided by stereotyped thinking, and we don't need to follow their concerns."
Speaking of this, Chu Xuan suddenly stopped his pace, causing Luo Gandao to almost hit the back of the person in front of him: "For us, this is the most suitable." ”
Suddenly, the light shone brightly.
The pale blue weapon of the final battle reveals its true face in the light.
