The central star has two moons, Belém-1 and Belém-2.

The two moons each revolve around the central star in their own orbits, and the attraction to each other makes them form a very unique three-star system that interacts with each other. Sometimes you can see two stars parallel to each other when you stand on the central star, but most of the time you can see only one moon, and sometimes you can't see a moon at all.

Today is a moonless night.

Belén One hid in deep darkness, and Star Two was even more shy than One, hiding behind Star One.

The night became pitch black because of this, and a little starlight could not dispel this deep black, only bringing a little dappled light and shadow.

In the dark night, in the Alpha Academy, two figures were moving rapidly.

Walking in front is Claire and followed by Renault, both of whom wear night vision goggles, which allows them to ignore the depth of darkness and walk freely in the night.

The direction they walked was the Alpha Academy Mecha Branch.

After coming to an empty square, Claire stopped and shushed with her finger: "Wait here, there is a patrol plane ahead, we will act when it passes, remember, we must run through the square in ten seconds and enter the opposite corner." ”

"Sounds like a jailbreak." Renault muttered, and he looked left and right, "Are you sure we're going to do this?" Jia, it would be a shame if this matter was caught by the hospital. ”

"Don't tell me you're the kind of person who will back down, that will make me look down on you." Claire replied dismissively.

Renaud sighed: "I just didn't expect that the beautiful and quiet girl in my mind would have such a crazy side." Ran out in the middle of the night to steal the mech...... It's crazy to think about. ”

"You're saying I'm doing something wrong?" Claire's eyes widened.

"No, I didn't." Renault hurriedly explained.

Claire didn't have time to listen, she suddenly pressed Renault, and the two of them fell into the grass.

A patrol plane flew slowly, circled the clearing, and then flew in the other direction.

Claire stared nervously at the patrol plane, completely oblivious to Renault, who was crushed under her.

Renault looked at her in a daze, his long golden hair rippling in the breeze, and a few strands of hair blew on the tip of his nose, making him tickle a little. The faint scent from the female body carried along the wind, and Renault couldn't help but take a long sniff.

Even, he could feel some softness when he was pressed under Claire.

Renault is starting to react.

Luckily, before the reaction reached its peak, Claire had a new action.

She rolled over and pulled Renault: "It's over, run!" ”

Ran to the other side.

Renault got up and ran after Claire, and they made their way through the wide square, rushing into the shadows around the corner before the patrol plane arrived.

Claire leaned against the wall and gasped, "It's so dangerous, I was almost discovered." ”

"Thanks to Instructor Bag...... Damn, you didn't tell me this square was that big. Renault also breathlessly said that if it weren't for Dandy Bagg's crazy training some time ago, Renault was sure that he would never be able to run through this large square in ten seconds. And if they are caught by a patrol plane, then Renault's all-in-one rating this year is bound to add a stain.

Claire grinned, "A good soldier will see through his own eyes, not just on the prompts of others. ”

Renaud rolled his eyes: "You learned that Bagh instructor very quickly, ha, this is really not like the Claire Ja Marshall I know, is this your true face?" ”

Claire smiled: "You should be glad that not everyone can see the hidden wildness behind others. ”

Renault had recovered from rest.

He leaned closer to Claire, took off his glasses and looked at Claire, "So, what's behind your back?" ”

"Like this." Claire stepped back.

She came to a door, took out a small wire and slipped it into the keyhole, then leaned on the door and began to listen to something.

"Oh." Renault exclaimed.

Claire made a shush gesture to keep him silent, and then poked the keyhole intently.

A moment later, there was a click, and the lock was opened.

Claire smiled at Renault and pushed the door open.

Renault shook his head and reluctantly followed.

Behind the door is an even wider space, filled with various vehicles, simulation pods, and heavy weapons.

"This is the arsenal?" Renault was surprised.

Claire kept walking forward: "Alpha is a military academy, and it is not unusual to have its own arsenal, but all the weapons here are digital weapons, there are no live ammunition, and there is no real lethality." ”

"That's pretty good." Renault muttered, even if it wasn't live ammunition, those big guys alone could still crush people.

"But that's not what we're targeting." Claire said.

"That's exactly what I want to ask you. How are you going to get me to know about those mechs? Renault asked, "I mean, to really understand them, you have to move them." But if you want to start them, there will be movement. ”

Claire smiled: "Follow me and you'll know." ”

She came to an elevator with the door locked, but this time it was the same electronic lock.

Renault hugged his arms: "How are you going to pick the lock this time?" ”

Claire flicked her wrist, and a small black box appeared in front of Renault's eyes.

Seeing this, Renault groaned: "Code cracker...... You're really prepared. ”

Claire had put the black box on the door, and the lights on the box began to light up, turning in circles, and the numbers began to pop up on the screen one by one.

Soon, all the 256-bit codes on the door were cracked, and after a dizzying demonstration, the elevator door burst open.

Claire led Renault in, and the elevator began to descend.

Claire then explained: "The mecha of the Alpha Academy is placed on the twelfth basement floor, which is a very large space, which is not only a storage point for the mecha, but also a place for students to practice their mechas. Believe me, no matter how much you toss inside, the sound will not reach it. ”

"Looks like you're a regular here." Renault sighed.

Claire had a mischievous smile on her face: "On the contrary, I've only been here twice. ”

"And how did you get so familiar with it?" Renault was surprised.

Claire didn't answer.

By this time, the elevator had descended to the twelfth basement floor.

The elevator doors opened, and when he stepped out of the elevator, Renault saw a valley in front of him.

On the left and right sides of the valley are two full rows of mechs.

This was the first time Renault had seen a mecha with his own eyes, and he had seen it in the news before.

Compared to the mecha on the screen, the real mecha is much more magnificent, these big fiery red guys look like sculptures, sitting on both sides of the valley, each six meters high, like giants.

"The Agni II large ground assault armor is equipped with a 98-caliber flame heavy gun, a third-stage laser cannon, a second-stage energy generator, four missile launchers, a 4.5mm twelve-barreled cannon and a laser sword. The armor is made of ultra-manganese alloy, measuring 12.6 cm at its thickest point and 3.8 cm at its thinnest point. With two miniature nuclear power engines and a quantum communicator, the brain uses Johnson's Mammoth series, and the system uses the Doyle system, with an AI value of 46. Claire pointed to the fiery mechs.

"Wow." Renault whistled and exclaimed, "They're so big." ”

"It's not big, it's just some ground mechs, and the real space mechs are bigger than that." Claire replied.

Due to the lack of gravity and air resistance in space, space mechs are usually designed to be relatively large, often up to 100 meters high.

As a result, the characteristics of space warfare have also undergone relatively obvious changes.

The first is the improvement of defense capabilities.

Due to the enormity of space mechas, armor made of various superalloys can often be several meters or even tens of meters thick. Coupled with various means of defense such as ion shield and defense against magnetic fields, the role of defense in space warfare has a more positive significance than before. In the past, human technology was stronger than defense, and dodging was the only way. But now, with the development of material technology, scientists are frantically superimposing the thickness of defense, hard resistance has also become a kind of tactic, and meat shield mecha has also become a real existence.

The characteristics of space make the mecha not reduce the flexibility of the mecha while obtaining a strong defense, but further increase, which also increases the survival rate of soldiers.

The second is the diversity of tactics. In the past, weapons and equipment followed the principle of how fast and economical, wheeled movement, multiple batteries, strong firepower, thick armor and low manufacturing costs were the pursuit of the military. However, in the vast and infinite space warfare, which is not limited by gravity and space, the significance of wheeled movement is first canceled, and the strong firepower of multiple batteries is also replaced by more demanding precision strikes because of the excessive size of space, and the low manufacturing cost is not valued because of the continuous development of planetary resources, and how to give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness of each soldier has become a new demand of interstellar warfare.

In this case, the humanoid mecha that is most suitable for human behavior and habits and is most suitable for exerting the personal combat power of soldiers came into being. They are like an extension of a soldier's body, carrying out the will of each soldier, giving full play to their combat effectiveness in the most free way, and also creating countless tactics and mecha types.

Finally, it's personalization. Based on the mecha based on the first two, in the gradual development, it shows a trend of developing in the direction of private customization, theoretically each soldier may have the most suitable mecha for himself, so as to develop a more unique tactical style.

However, this is only a trend, and the current military is still dominated by a unified system.

And this trend itself is opposed by the military top.

They believe that soldiers should be uniform. Personal? What's that? Is that kind of soldier still called a soldier? Moreover, the maximization of individual strength does not mean the maximization of overall strength. There is no shortage of battles in history where tactics have been won and wars have been lost, and the personalization of mecha development will only repeat this mistake.

Proponents believe that the mecha itself is a manifestation of a powerful individual soldier, and from this point of view, it can be seen that there is no contradiction between the strength of the individual and the strength of the whole, as long as the relationship between them is coordinated, and the opposition is too old-fashioned and clinging to the inadequate......

The two sides have been arguing about this for a long time, and there is no conclusion until now.

All in all, the existence of space mechs has subverted the combat mode of the past, making what was once unimaginable and unimaginable a reality.

In comparison, ground mechs are much smaller.

According to the classification of mechas, those with a height of more than six meters belong to large mechas, those with a height of about four meters are medium-sized, and those with a height of about two meters are small.

The Agni II is six meters tall and belongs to a large mecha.

They are much smaller and weaker than space mechs, but they are enough to shock Renault.

Just as he was immersed in his yearning for these mechas, a huge figure suddenly rushed out of the valley in the distance.

It was a pitch-black mech, speeding through the valley at full power.

Its massive body was like a dark cloud rushing towards it, but it was as fast as a bolt of lightning.

The Hunter I Shadow Mecha.

This is a long-range attack mecha, six meters four or seven high, the thickness of the main defense is twenty-eight millimeters, the main weapon is the super Gauss gun on the right arm, the speed is fast and the range is its characteristics, and the defense is relatively weak.

Before Renault could even see it, the mech was already rushing closer.

The killer in the darkness now rushed to Renault's side like a mountain, and Renault's eyes were immediately covered by a black cloud, and the entire vision was obscured by that black.

Then the left arm of the shadow mech was raised high, revealing twelve jet-black bullet holes, which rumbled and turned.

The loud roar almost tore Renault's eardrums.

Renault was completely stunned by this sudden situation, although the twelve-barreled cannon belonged to the pediatric department among mechas, it was so huge in his eyes that it was like a black hole in front of his eyes that wanted to swallow him completely.

A somewhat hoarse and slightly angry female voice rumbled in this space: "Who are you?" Why is it here? What does it have to do with my sister? Say, or I'll kill you! ”

Then the left fist slammed down on Renault's side, and the earth shook like a wave.
