Chapter Thirty-Three: Mechanical Resonance, Tyrant

"Hoo ......"

Rogando opened his eyes in the driver's seat of the AHSMB body, and it took a long time for him to break away from the reality and the unreal feeling. The young man pinched his temples, moved his hands and feet slightly, and showed a wry smile: "Failed again." ”

With the entire Central Continent team returning to the Pacific Rim World, Chu Xuan completely ignored other affairs and went straight back to the depths of the Shattered Dome base. Not only did this young man not hesitate to occupy the space of others, expanding his laboratory tenfold, but he also entered a state of too tranquility. He closed himself in his lab, focused on his passionate, and transformed into a near-isolated homesick scientist.

For Chu Xuan, he had too many topics to study and too many conjectures to verify, so the laboratory became his peach blossom source. Chu Xuan was immersed in data and experiments, looking for new breakthroughs and answers, as if the hustle and bustle of the whole world had nothing to do with him.

At this time, the location where Luo Gandao was located was the underground of the Shattered Dome base, and it was also directly below Chu Xuan's laboratory, where he had first seen the place where the shocking ASHMB body was located. It has been completely renovated and transformed into a high-tech hangar, surrounded by walls of steel and glass, with a dazzling array of instruments and training facilities.

This hangar was not only a hangar for storing and maintaining the ASHMB, but also a large space was set aside for training so that Rogandao could better familiarize himself with and master his body. The floor is marked with intricate markings and patterns to aid training and simulate combat scenarios, and large light fixtures hanging from the ceiling illuminate the entire space, making the interior of the hangar as bright as day.

Here, Roganda can feel a closer connection between himself and the body, and every maneuver is like a silent dialogue with the body. In this renovated hangar, he can not only train on a daily basis, but also gradually improve his driving skills with the help of the Juilliard system...... The only problem is that it is impossible to conduct real combat here, and it is not possible to use those lethal weapons on the ASHMB.

However, ten days later, Chu Xuan handed over a set of headsets called "Virtual Reality Sync" to Luo Gandao, and this only problem was solved. The technology, which is said to have been dismantled by Chu Xuan from a simulated universe device, is capable of simulating the real world with extreme accuracy, and its immersive experience is quite similar to the virtual games described in the network.

While "virtual reality sync" devices offer an extremely realistic training experience, they are not without their drawbacks. The use of this kind of equipment requires a lot of mental energy, and the mental state of the operator is extremely demanding. Prolonged use can cause severe headaches in the user, which is a sequelae of overloading of the brain and nervous system.

However, apart from these discomforts, there are no other significant side effects associated with the device. It was because of this relatively manageable side effect that Rogandao was able to use this device to hone his mecha control skills in a fictional environment. He can repeatedly practice a variety of complex combat moves and tactics without actual risks, so that his performance on the virtual battlefield is becoming more and more sophisticated. In this way, Rogandao not only increased his synchronization rate with the mecha, but also greatly enhanced his combat instincts and adaptability.

After obtaining this set of equipment, Luo Gandao devoted almost all of his time to the cockpit of the airframe, almost 24 hours a day, constantly controlling it in the virtual world and conducting various simulated battles. In virtual reality, he can experiment with a variety of tactics and techniques without worrying about the damage or consequences that may come in the real world.

As time passed, the coordination between Rogandao and the body became more and more smooth, his controls and operations became more and more precise, his reactions and actions became more instinctive, and some difficult actions that he could not do before were gradually able to be performed in the virtual world.

While training in mecha combat in the virtual world, Luo Gandao did not neglect his own cultivation. The exercise method that Yang Yun gave him before was called "Mechanical Sense Resonance Method", which is a kind of exercise that focuses on the spiritual level, which can be said to be diametrically opposed to the overlord exercise of the physical cultivation school, but has many similarities with Zhan Lan's "Changing Diagram of the Stars".

According to the description in the database, the "Mechanical Resonance Method" is a special practice practiced by the warriors who drive the soul armament in the human city, and it has a long history. This technique not only strengthens the practitioner's affinity with the machine, but also realizes the resonance with the driving body, thereby awakening a special ability called "mechanical sense", a mysterious power that deepens the connection between man and machine.

This "mechanical sense" varies from person to person, and each cultivator's ability to awaken is different. Some people can increase the maximum output firepower of the mech, some can increase the defense of the mech, some can increase speed and explosiveness, and some can temporarily repair the damaged soul weapon and restore its combat effectiveness...... But without exception, the cultivators who can awaken the "mechanical sense" are all gifted geniuses, and the tacit understanding between them and the body has reached such a high level that it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "human-machine integration".

As the person who handed over this exercise to Luo Gandao, although Yang Yun did not fully understand the principle of the skill of "mechanical sense", and could only regard it as the initial manifestation of the light of the soul for the time being, he still clearly understood the importance of this ability for a driver...... And he also has great confidence in Luo Gandao's talent and potential, and firmly believes that the "Mechanical Sense Resonance Method" will be the most suitable cultivation method for him.

As it turns out, as an important supporting character who was only copied to the Demon Team after the Transformers, but had already unlocked the fourth-order genetic lock in the final battle, Luo Gandao does have this potential. As he persevered in cultivating the "Mechanism Resonance Method", not only did he become more and more proficient in mastering this technique, but he also gained a deeper understanding of its deep connection.

Every exercise is an exercise of self-will and mental strength. During the practice, Luo Gandao could clearly feel that the connection between himself and the mech was constantly strengthening, as if an invisible bridge had been built between the two, making his reactions faster and more precise when controlling the mecha in virtual reality.

This feeling of being in harmony with the spirit of the organism is a new experience for Loganda. He enjoyed every moment of communion with the body's heart, the feeling as if the body had become an extension of him, capable of executing his will as he pleased. While this progress is not measured by specific numerical metrics like in the game, Rogandau can clearly feel his progress and change.

At the end of each day's training, Rogandao could feel a higher mental synchrony with his body, which not only made his fights in virtual reality smoother, but also made him look forward to future battles. Although this feeling cannot be measured by data, the confidence and satisfaction it brings to Rogandau is real. He knew that as long as he cultivated consistently, the "Mechanical Resonance Method" would eventually make him more powerful on the battlefield.

"You held on for five more seconds today."

Chu Xuan's voice was clearly conveyed to Luo Gandao through the communicator. Even in his busy day, he still insists on taking at least five minutes out of his day to keep an eye on Logandaw's training progress.

Before Yang Yun moved into the hangar in Luo Gandao, he had privately reminded this young man who still didn't understand Chu Xuan's horror, telling him to be extra careful when accepting Chu Xuan's individual guidance, so as not to unknowingly become a part of Chu Xuan's experiment, or be inexplicably pitted in the bureau. Yang Yun's advice made Luo Gandao wary in his heart, but at least for now, he didn't find that Chu Xuan's actions were in any way unfavorable to him.

However, at least so far, Luo Gandao did not perceive any signs of disadvantage in Chu Xuan's actions. On the contrary, as the training deepened, Luo Gandao became more and more convinced of Chu Xuan.

During Chu Xuan's daily short guidance, he was always able to get to the heart of the matter with concise words, accurately pointing out Luo Gandao's deficiencies in cultivation and fighting, and providing him with practical improvement plans. Chu Xuan's guidance was not only accurate and effective, but every communication and feedback made Luo Gandao's skills improve significantly, especially in the cultivation of combat awareness, Luo Gandao felt that his understanding and reaction were improving rapidly, which also made him more determined to devote himself to every training.

With Chu Xuan's help, Luo Gandao's self-confidence in controlling the body has been greatly enhanced, and the mechanical resonance between him and the body has become more and more proficient. This young man, who usually gives people a calm and ruthless impression, unexpectedly showed a patient side in the cultivation of Luo Gandao...... This kind of completely unexpected guidance made Luo Gandao's gratitude to Chu Xuan increase day by day, and it also made him full of infinite expectations and longing for his future.

"I understand that I still need more practice."

Rogandao knows that despite the excellent performance of the ASHMB, the key to the full potential of the ASHMB lies in the driver himself. He is well aware of his shortcomings as a driver, and he also knows that he must make up for these shortcomings through continuous efforts and the accumulation of combat experience.

Nervous reflexes are a top priority, and in battle, quick and accurate reflexes are the key to survival, and every tiny hesitation can lead to fatal consequences; Improving the synchronization rate with the body is also the focus of Luogandao's attention, and the level of synchronization rate directly affects the smoothness and accuracy of the body's control. Melee fighting skills are an area that Roganda needs to work on, and he needs to constantly practice various combat techniques in simulation training......

"Well, based on the data analysis sent back by the Juilliard system, the benefits of continuing to train in simulations are not very good."

Chu Xuan, who was sitting in the laboratory, held an apple in his hand and gnawed on the juice, while his eyes were fixed on the large amount of analysis data displayed on the screen: "So it's time to enter the second stage." ”

“…… The second stage? ”

Luo Gandao felt that the seat under his buttocks was slowly retracted, and the cockpit door gradually opened, he understood that this was the next training plan that Chu Xuan had formulated for him, so he also moved his body as requested, and walked out of the body: "Ah, I understand, it's to train my physical ability, right?" After all, virtual training is not reality, and I have to translate this accumulation into reality......"

"That's right, that's the truth. But in addition to that, you also have to maximize your desire to survive in the depths of your heart, so that the oracle cell bloodline you exchange can evolve accordingly, and at the same time, unlock the second-order genetic lock as soon as possible. ”

Behind Rogandau, the ASHMB's hatch "clicked" shut, and walking towards Rogandau from the darkness was a huge humanoid creature three meters tall with pale skin.

- Tyrant, and a tyrant who has been transformed by Chu Xuan.

The tyrant's facial features were visibly more distorted, not only did his eyes glow ominously, his teeth were as sharp as beasts, but his arms were transformed into blades like hooks, full of murderous aura. And every step it took towards Logan Road was so heavy that it seemed to shake the ground...... At the same time, he also stepped on the heart of Luo Gandao.

“…… Brother Chu Xuan, you must be joking with me. ”

Seeing this classic terrifying monster, Luo Gandao's expression changed suddenly, and at this moment, he finally remembered Yang Yun's warning, and also remembered what happened to him before he boarded the AHSMB last time: "You don't want me to fight this tyrant, do you?" I'm a pilot! ”

"When Zheng Zha only has C-level blood, he can kill the alien in hand-to-hand combat when he unlocks the first-order gene lock for the first time. Since your desire to survive is comparable to Zheng Zha, then show some courage to prove yourself. ”

Chu Xuan said indifferently, although his tone did not change in the slightest, Luo Gandao seemed to hear the indifference hidden behind it: "Your oracle cell is an A-level exchange, a tyrant who is not equipped with heavy weapons, it is just right to be your opponent in the first battle." ”

"Wait, wait, then at least give me a weapon-"

Looking at the scene where Luo Gandao wanted to reopen the cockpit of the ASHMB, but the hatch did not move at all, and the tyrant was gradually approaching, Chu Xuan turned off the monitor expressionlessly and re-engaged in his experiment, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air-

"If you don't want to die, then surpass yourself and keep evolving." (End of chapter)
