The Empire's First Higher Military Academy, Seventh Battle Training Base K3 Hangar.
Countless pieces of steel support the huge dome, and the cool lights evenly illuminate the entire base space, as well as the neatly arranged mechanical bodies.
Universal combat training mecha ZS-057G.
This is the mecha model standing in front of Wang Chen, codenamed Fist Blade!
The Fist Blade class is currently the most produced combat training mecha in the empire. It is said that the number of the No. 1 mecha to the latest improved model has exceeded 10 million.
Although ZS-057G is not the latest fist blade, it is not outdated at all in terms of technology.
It has a height of 7.53 meters, a weight of 3.82 tons, and is equipped with a PC5600 high-thrust engine. When a standard power package is mounted, the endurance can reach 5 hours.
In addition, the ZS-057G is also equipped with a 120mm caliber high-energy particle cannon, a Titanium alloy battle sword, and two 70mm caliber close-range laser cannons.
Although the Fist Blade is a combat training mecha, it can actually be used in real battles.
Of course, the most important role of this level of mecha is to cultivate outstanding mecha combat talents for the empire.
As a first-year freshman in the aircraft warfare department, Wang Chen went through three months of military training and three months of basic knowledge learning. Only after passing all assessments was he qualified for practical operations on aircraft.
He had already been exposed to the ZS-057G before and was quite familiar with the various data and functions of this armor.
But everything is controlled and controlled in the virtual space.
No matter how good the virtual games are, they can never replace real combat.
"Everyone is here, listen to my command!"
Under the majestic command of the mecha instructor, Wang Chen took a big step forward and looked up at the ZS-057G in front of him.
The latter's metal armor shines with a cold light, silent and solid.
According to the requirements of the operation manual, Wang Chen raised his right hand and pressed it on the guard plate of the mecha's right leg.
Buzz~
The next moment, along with the sound of the machine being activated, the energy indicator of ZS-057G lights up instantly.
The main armor in front of it opened automatically, revealing a cockpit that can accommodate the pilot.
There are usually three ways for pilots to board the cabin, including lifting platforms, boarding ramps and mecha arms.
Most of the freshmen present adopted the second method, using the gangway to enter the cockpit space.
Wang Chen jumped up high, grabbed the ZS-057G left arm shield with his right hand and used force to move upward, then turned around in the air and retracted, just sitting in the control cabin!
This scene was seen by the instructors present and they couldn't help but nodded.
This alternative boarding method is not original to Wang Chen. In fact, it has been adopted by many mecha masters for a long time, and some can even play different entry postures.
But for freshmen, it is not easy to master this skill, because even the fist-level combat training mecha is more than seven meters high. Jumping directly on it will test the pilot's physical skills.
Wang Chen's boarding movements were smooth, precise, fast, and elegant. Not to mention the other first-year students present, even many mecha warriors in service could not do this well.
None of the mecha instructors had bad eyesight, so they could naturally see Wang Chen's weight.
But praise is praise, they all thought that Wang Chen had practiced it long ago, so they didn't make a fuss.
But these mecha instructors had no idea that this was Wang Chen's first time operating a mecha, and he was not an elite member of a noble family as they thought.
After sitting firmly in the control cabin, Wang Chen fastened his seat belt and closed the cabin door.
The moment the cabin door was locked, Wang Chen felt that his eyes were completely dark and he couldn't see his fingers.
But the darkness lasted less than a second. A light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes, and the scene inside the cabin had completely changed.
"Student DPB2899720 is in place and has passed DNA authentication. Are you connected to the control center?"
A soft voice sounded in Wang Chen's ears.
Wang Chen nodded.
The next moment, his consciousness was instantly connected to the mecha's internal network, and he gained the temporary highest authority.
The control center of the mecha is actually the main control computer. Wang Chen can issue orders through the master brain, activate various weapons and functions it carries, and even let the latter take over the mecha.
For example, when he is seriously injured in a battle and cannot continue to control the mecha, the mastermind can intervene to complete the retreat.
However, the main control computer cannot completely replace the pilot in combat.
This is actually very strange, because with the empire's technological level, it is completely possible to create a large number of unmanned intelligent combat mechas to overwhelm the opponent.
However, the first rule of machine warfare is: humans are the controllers of machines, not the other way around!
In the process of constantly learning new knowledge, Wang Chen tried to find out the reasons and made some discoveries.
The empire's current use of artificial intelligence is strictly limited to low-level levels. The field of strong artificial intelligence has become a taboo, and relevant knowledge is almost impossible to find on the Internet.
Wang Chen also used the database of the Yiwen Society to get a glimpse of it.
After understanding this, he wisely did not continue to explore, so as not to enter untouchable areas and bring himself huge trouble!
"The control center has been connected. I wish you a long and prosperous military career!"
Wang Chen closed his eyes and then opened them again.
At this moment, his body was completely hidden inside the mecha, and his consciousness was integrated with this fighting machine.
ZS-057G seems to be Wang Chen's new body, and he is like a real giant. Both his vision and perception have become completely different!
The first lesson for freshmen on the computer is to familiarize themselves with basic controls.
This first step is difficult.
Even after practicing countless times in the virtual space, many freshmen's actual machine control is very clumsy. It is common for them to step out with their front foot and then trip over their back foot.
Fortunately, the mecha has a built-in balance system, so even if it starts awkwardly, it won't fall down.
But a few freshmen performed very well. They controlled the ZS-057G and strode out of the K3 hangar door and entered the real training venue outside.
Start large-scale maneuver training!
Wang Chen was also among them.
Wang Chen became familiar with this mecha again faster than anyone else. The powerful soul gave him unparalleled control and perception of the surrounding space.
These two abilities are necessary for an outstanding pilot!
After leaving the hangar, Wang Chen distanced himself from the surrounding classmates, and then increased the intensity of his movements.
Walking, running, jumping, skimming, changing direction at high speed...
Under Wang Chen's control, its movements became more and more violent and flexible.
The PC5600 engine continues to make a low roar, continuously injecting powerful energy into this mecha.
The next moment, ZS-057G passed over a mound at high speed, rolling up sand and dust behind it.
The wings on its back suddenly spread out, and then shot straight into the sky at a ninety-degree angle!
