Chapter 9: The Duel of the Iron Giants
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The two mechs were fifty meters apart, facing each other on the wasteland. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)
One is Matthew's "Cheetah MK2-Striker", which is 3.8 meters tall and weighs 9.8 tons.
The other is Yin Jian's "Daedalus", which is 4.4 meters high and weighs 15 tons.
Matthew took off his date outfit and changed into a tight-fitting uniform for pilots, looking energetic and masculine.
If Yin Jian had a slight doubt about his invitation before coming here, now Matthew's intentions are clear.
"Good evening, Fluttershy, we're meeting again."
Matthew deliberately ignores Yin Jian, the protagonist of the meeting, and walks over to greet Fluttershy, smiling kindly, as if Fluttershy is the person he is meeting with.
This is undoubtedly very impolite, he doesn't really despise Yin Jian, he does it precisely to provoke him.
Using words to provoke the opponent to make him unable to hold his breath and reveal his flaws, this kind of psychological tactic is a must for pilots.
It's a pity that he forgot one thing, Yin Jian was also a member of the machine warfare department, and he knew his tricks well.
"Matthew, maybe there is some misunderstanding between us, please don't be angry with others!" Fluttershy tries to convince Matthew to abandon the duel, "Jian Yin is innocent, please don't get him involved, okay!" ”
Yin Jian scratched his head and smiled bitterly, he was grateful that Fluttershy had exonerated him, but doing so would undoubtedly irritate Matthew's jealousy even more.
Sure enough, Matthew glanced at Yin Jian contemptuously: "The person you defend is just a coward who will only act in front of the weak, I don't understand, why would an excellent girl like you fall in love with a shameful deserter, a water dog who can't get along in the machine combat department!" ”
Yin Jian's eyes narrowed suddenly, his gaze as sharp as a falcon, firmly nailed to Matthew's face.
The gaze was so ferocious that Matthew's hair stood on end, and his heart twitched violently.
After being silent for a long time, Yin Jian said lightly: "I accept your challenge." ”
Matthew settled down and said proudly: "It's a pity that you are walking on the road of self-inflicted humiliation. ”
Lin Zhiping reminded him loudly on the side: "Beware, the surname Yin is not so easy to deal with!" ”
Matthew didn't take his warning seriously, disdainfully, "A year ago he might have been a figure, but now...... Hehe, he's outdated. ”
"I'm outdated, you'll know right away."
Yin Jian rode on Daedalus and injected Lingzi into the "power pool", and the thrusters roared, like a sleeping giant waking up.
The power cell is the mecha's energy furnace, officially known as the "Micro Fast Neutron Value-Added Nuclear Reactor", which is filled with a liquid mixture of various chemicals and the rare metal element "Mithri1", like a box of silver syrup.
Mithril is a substance that has two magical properties.
First, the fission reaction requires the spirit seed as a catalyst, and once the spirit child is exhausted, the reaction will stop by itself; Second, the nature of Mithril nuclear energy is extremely similar to psionic energy, and most psionic martial arts can be simulated with Mithril nuclear energy and multiply their power, making personal martial arts gain a broader application prospect on the battlefield, so mecha that uses Mithril as fuel is also jokingly called "martial arts magnifying glass".
Mithril also has the advantage of plutonium, uranium and other traditional nuclear materials that cannot be compared, the fission process produces very little harmful radiation, safer, and more environmentally friendly, the latter factor is the main reason to use Mithril instead of other nuclear materials as a mecha energy source. In the interstellar era, environmental protection has become the consensus of all mankind, and the Constitution of the Union stipulates that destroying the environment and endangering public safety are the same crimes, which are unavoidable factors in war.
The spirit is not 100% able to induce Mithril fission, the specific ratio is determined by the performance of the power pool, the technical content and cost of the mecha are mainly concentrated in the power pool, and the high-quality spirit power pool, the fission efficiency of the spirit will be higher, and the price will be more expensive.
The efficiency of the logistics mecha is 50 to 60 percent, and the efficiency of the combat mecha is 60 to 70 percent, and more than 70 percent of them are special mecha for ace pilots.
In the case of Daedalus, for example, the efficiency of the power pool is about 5o%, and the average input of a hundred spirit seeds can only cause fifty Mithril atoms to fission.
In comparison, the Striker has a much better powerpool, with a whopping 67% efficiency and other performances that are well above Daedalus, making it not a fair duel from an equipment standpoint.
The two steel giants looked at each other from afar, their engines roaring, and the air currents blew the dust and sand far away, revealing a cold and hard wasteland.
Matthew piloted a "bare metal" for teaching purposes, and removed the beam saber and cannon for safety; Daedalus was not equipped with any weapons in the first place, and went straight to battle lightly.
Disabling thermal weapons can't completely avoid casualties, and the huge iron fist full of psionic energy is even more terrifying than a cannonball, tearing away the coat of high-tech decoration, and the machine battle has become a retro knightly duel, revealing the true face of bloody and savagery.
Qiao Fei and Fluttershy are overwhelmed by the atmosphere and are extremely nervous.
Qiao Fei sweated on the tip of his nose.
Fluttershy clenches her hands into braids, and Sakura's lips open slightly, as if she is silently begging for something.
Lin Zhiping was also very nervous, and was expecting to watch a good show when a strong palm slapped his shoulder.
He looked back blankly and saw Qiao Fei's fierce eyes.
"What are you doing!" Lin Zhiping is like a girl who has been molested by gangsters, and suddenly jumps out of the way!
"I don't want to listen to nonsense, disappear from my eyes right away!"
Lin Zhiping looked at Matthew. Matthew had already powered the armor engine, and it was impossible for him to come forward to settle Qiao Fei, the plague god.
"Get out!"
"You...... Wait and see! ”
Lin Zhiping was very unwilling but did not dare to disobey, and left the tarmac step by step.
"Why did you take him away?" Fluttershy asks Qiao Fei.
"Don't you think he's an eyesore?" Qiao Fei's tone is unreasonable, but Fluttershy knows that he has always done things in a measured manner, and taking Lin Zhiping away is not unintentional.
If Yin Jian loses to Matthew, who will be the happiest? As soon as she thought of the answer to this question, it was not difficult for her to understand Qiao Fei's seemingly abnormal behavior.
No matter what others think or think, Yin Jian always believes that he has a chance to win.
This confidence was based on his knowledge of the Cheetah series of mechs, and during his year in the mecha department, he had test-piloted many models of mechs, including the Striker.
Modern mecha uses a holographic immersive operating system, which is equivalent to the extension of limbs, and the movements are synchronized with the pilot, and the delay is almost not felt; The way the biomimetic neuroskeleton processes the fission energy of the Mithril atom is the same as the way the human body handles psionic tides, so the psionic martial arts that the pilot is good at can also be used by the guò mecha, but the power is amplified by more than a hundred times.
Daedalus is not a battle mech, it is not suitable for casting psionic martial arts from the design, the most obvious flaw is that it has no feet, and its leg moves are strictly limited, not to mention that it can't jump high and run fast. Yin Jian can only fully use his professional expertise to modify and debug Bajie, and try his best to do it like a finger.
There was no referee, no order gun, the two mechs bowed to each other from fifty meters away, and then raised their hands at the same time to shoot a "shock wave" to test the depth of the opponent!
-- The standard "academic" start.
The shock wave simulated by Mithril Nuclear Energy is as different from the original as a cannonball and a brick, and is more appropriately called a "shock cannon", which will be overwhelmed by thick armor protection once hit.
The two shock waves canceled each other in the night sky, and the sound of the explosion stirred up a raging air current, kicking up billowing dust and sand, and the battlefield suddenly became chaotic.
The result of the test made Matthew feel a little reassured, and the "tactical radar" built into the Raider measured that the air generated by the explosion was mainly flowing towards Yin Jian's side, indicating that his spiritual power level was slightly inferior to his own.
Matthew didn't wait for the dust to settle before he turned on the "Thermal Imaging Vision", and the mecha shot at Yin Jian like an arrow off the string. The biggest advantage of the Cheetah Striker is mobility, and this is precisely the biggest weakness of Daedalus, if he doesn't take advantage of this to hit his opponent hard, can he still be considered a top student in the machine combat department?
The tactical radar sent a high-energy imminent alarm, and Yin Jian was not afraid of the danger, and manipulated Daedalus to cross his arms to support a spiritual light shield, and withstood the powerful lightning kick of the attacker!
The gap in the spiritual power rank was reflected again, the spiritual light shield flashed and then collapsed, and the meteor kick kicked Bajie back a few meters without abating, and two deep track ruts were wiped out on the wasteland.
Matthew was quite satisfied with the results of the first round, and the meteor kick did not completely knock out Daedalus, although Yin Jian's timely defense was due to the fact that Daedalus had a special structure - it was also a small mecha, much heavier than the Cheetah Striker, and the structure that resembled a tank made it particularly stable!
Defensively, Daedalus does have its advantages, but the supreme principle of the fight is to defeat the opponent, and only an attack can achieve this. Matthew took on the burst palm after the meteor kick, and a large number of spirit seeds were injected into the power pool, hitting the Mithril atom and then bursting out of nuclear energy, and a pair of steel giant palms close to the chest of "Bajie" exploded!
Bajie was blown up and flew far away, rolling and scattering a large number of broken parts along the way.
The belated explosion shook the night sky, and the four moons seemed to tremble in fright, hiding behind the clouds. A large amount of dust and sand spread like oil on the fire, and the world was in chaos.
