Battle on the Insect Planet (9): Show off skills

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize looked at Liu Wennian with pity in their eyes. The political system in this mission world was called a federation, but in reality it was a system of power and oppression, and the system was inhumane.

In silence, several people walked to the training area.

There were fifty simulators in the training area, most of which were in use.

Liu Wennian and others found an empty simulation cabin and started to try. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not rush forward, but stood aside and observed.

The two were soon surprised to find that some soldiers would leave the simulation capsule within a minute of entering it, so that although there were a small number of simulation capsules, the rotation speed was very fast and there was no feeling of insufficient space.

At this time, a member of the team who was trying out the simulated cabin opened the cabin door, held his head and walked out, sighed, and said in a complicated tone:

“The HS-9 mecha’s compatibility requirements are too high. If the compatibility rate is less than 60%, there is no chance of control.”

Sure enough, he was not the only one there. Several small teams of soldiers walked out of the simulation cabin one after another. After saying hello to Xia Ruize, they went back to rest.

The soldiers who survived to this day were all veterans. They knew that since they couldn’t practice operating mechas, they might as well take the time to rest.

After observing for a while, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other and entered two simulation cabins respectively to prepare for the attempt.

Gao Hexuansi, who had no sense of existence, was not surprised that he was ignored by his teammates. He spontaneously followed the two big guys and chose an empty simulation cabin to get in.

The door of the simulation cabin closed. In the dim light, Xia Ruize’s head was fixed by a helmet. Then the screen in front of him lit up, and a black progress bar with numbers appeared on the simple white background. Xia Ruize did nothing, but saw the progress bar rise from “0” all the way to “60”, and continued to climb, eventually breaking through “100”.

Suddenly, the lights in the simulation cabin brightened, and the white background on the front screen turned into a complex control interface, with densely packed control buttons appearing around the screen.

Xia Ruize blinked and understood what the so-called adaptability rate was testing, which turned out to be mental strength.

The HS-9 mecha was actually controlled by the driver’s mental power and body. To be more precise, the movements of the mecha were controlled by the driver’s mental power, while the use of various weapons and complex movements were controlled and coordinated by the body.

This means that people with insufficient mental strength could not control the mecha to perform the simplest forward and backward movements. This was manifested as insufficient adaptation and they were directly excluded from the simulation cabin.

People like Xia Ruize, who had an extremely high adaptability rate, could easily control the actions of the mecha. Of course, in addition to this, they also need to practice the coordination of mental strength and body.

Xia Ruize practiced in the simulation cabin for three hours before coming out. He felt that he was more proficient in controlling the Type 9 mecha than the Type 6.

After all, he was pushed directly onto the Type 6 Mech without even time to prepare or practice. His experience in operating the Type 6 Mech was entirely based on copying the techniques of soldiers like Liu Wennian and what he learned on his own in battle. He was not given the opportunity to practice systematically and scientifically like the Type 9 Mech.

After all, he was pushed directly onto the Type 6 Mech without even time to prepare or practice. His experience in operating the Type 6 Mech was entirely based on copying the techniques of warriors like Liu Wennian and what he learned on his own in battle. He was not given the opportunity to practice systematically and scientifically like the Type 9 Mech.

When the cabin door was opened, Cheng Huaiqian was already waiting outside. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Xia Ruize’s head. Cheng Huaiqian pulled Xia Ruize back to the rest area, took a combat shower, squeezed into the same sleeping box, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The piercing ringing of the bell forcefully awakened the soldiers in the rest area. When they walked out of the rest area, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian saw at a glance the more than thirty HS-9 mechas standing at the edge of the camp. Because the HS-9 mechas were eighteen meters high, they were truly huge monsters.

In order to accommodate the newly arrived Type 9 mechas, the camp area was even doubled.

“Wow! So cool!”

Gao Hexuan’s eyes lit up when he saw the Type 9 mecha in reality. He became excited and tried to push the two teammates in front of him to move faster.

Although there was detailed data of 9 types of mechas in the previous simulation cabin, the monotonous numbers were not as shocking as seeing them with your own eyes.

“The team was reorganized again and we had to separate.”

Liu Wennian walked up to Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian and looked at Xia Ruize with reluctance. After getting the team list, he had submitted an application to modify the team, but as expected, it was not approved.

Among the 450 warriors, a total of 32 were qualified to be equipped with HS-9 mechas, so the command re-divided the soldiers into 15 small teams to ensure that each team had two HS-9 mecha operators.

Their original team was naturally forcibly dispersed when four Type 9 mecha operators, Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaiqian, Gao Hexuan and Liu Wennian, appeared at once.

Gao Hexuan was an exception as he was still able to follow Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, but Liu Wennian was separated. This was really too difficult for him. After all, Liu Wennian had witnessed Xia Ruize’s intuition playing a key role several times with his own eyes, and he was not willing to leave Xia Ruize’s team at all.

“Don’t we have an internal channel? What are you afraid of?”

Cheng Huaiqian righteously put his hand on his lover’s shoulder and took him away, leaving Liu Wennian alone to feel regretful.

When they actually walked in front of the HS-9 mecha and looked up at the huge mecha, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian couldn’t help but marvel at human technology.

Controlling the mecha controller that he had just obtained, the huge metal mecha’s upper body suddenly half-bent down, and the giant metal hand opened and stretched out in front of the operator. After the operator stepped on it, the mecha’s big hand lifted it up steadily, holding the operator flat in front of the cockpit at the chest of the mecha.

Xia Ruize stepped on the giant metal hand of Type 9 Mecha and walked through three doors into the cockpit. The doors closed one by one. The cockpit was spacious and comfortable, with a driver’s chair, a large screen and an operating console on one side, and a sofa bed for rest on the other side.

Xia Ruize sat in the driver’s seat and put on the helmet on the driver’s seat. The mecha was immediately started, and the lights in the cockpit were all on. The progress bar of the adaptation rate was displayed on the big screen again. After the progress bar quickly rushed to the value of “60”, the picture on the screen changed to the real-time shooting of hundreds of cameras around the mecha.

The Type 9 mecha completely abandoned the natural window, which improved safety while the operator could only rely on cameras, large screens and communication channels to learn about the outside world.

Xia Ruize controlled the huge Type 9 mecha and put it into full motion. The mecha’s long metal legs could move ten meters in one step, and its movements were astonishing. After taking a few steps, he walked out of the protection range of the camp’s protective shield.

Xia Ruize simply walked to the sandy ground a little further away and began to experience what it felt like to actually control a Type 9 mecha.

It has to be said that controlling a Type 9 mecha was much more comfortable than a Type 6 mecha, because the operator himself did not need to bear heavy pressure to run in order to make the mecha run. Xia Ruize now only needed to “want to run” and the mecha would really run.

Xia Ruize sat safely in the driver’s seat, his hands rapidly operating the complex buttons on the interface. On the mecha, the weapons hidden all over the body of the huge mecha flipped over and appeared one by one, and after rotating twice, they flipped over and hid again.

From a distance, it was a truly fascinating show of skill.

Many soldiers who could only control Type 6 mechas showed envy on their faces. Who wouldn’t want to control a powerful and terrifying mecha?

They were now operating Type 6 mechas and dared not get too close to Type 9 mechas, for fear that the operators of Type 9 mechas might accidentally crush the small mechas.

Cheng Huaiqian, Gao Hexuan and Liu Wennian all contacted Xia Ruize as soon as possible and established an internal communication channel.

It was the first time for all four of them to operate a Type 9 mecha, and they had many new experiences to share with each other. Liu Wennian, who always appeared mature and steady, could not hide his excitement in his tone.

Soon, the command sent the new mission to all the fighters’ mechas, and the squad captains received more comprehensive information.

As the captain of the squad, Xia Ruize’s main task was to control the Type 9 mecha and stand guard, watching his soldiers control the Type 6 mecha, and cooperating with the logistics personnel to lay thick metal plates on the ground and connect adjacent metal plates.

According to the mission requirements, they had to build a metal road from the camp all the way to the oasis that had been cleared previously.

The camp’s star network will extend along with the metal plates, which means that wherever the metal plates were laid, the command center would be able to grasp the situation there in real time.

Moreover, there were some weapons hidden under the metal plates. In other words, the road paved with metal plates was a safe passage for humans.
