Chapter 305 The War Rages On
Piloting a mecha is harder than you think.
There is no shortcut to improve synchronization rate. Lu Mingfei can only train again and again and try his best to control the Dark Lord.
Not long after, he met Eriki at the training base.
At this time, Lu Mingfei was slumped on the ground covered in sweat, with his head hanging down and his fists clenched until they turned white.
The synchronization rate of 60% is very high, but it does not meet the standards for combat. Only those who meet the synchronization rate of 78% and above can truly and smoothly drive mechas. Otherwise, they will only become targets on the battlefield. In the hands of the dragon beast, it was reduced to scrap metal.
This is the valuable experience humans have gained after scrapping more than a dozen mechas and sacrificing the lives of more than a dozen qualified people.
Lu Mingfei had been training for two weeks, and the average synchronization rate could only stabilize between 65% and 70%. The best one was as high as 73%, but he fell into a coma in less than a second.
Frontline Battle 5 is in full swing. Human mechas and large dragon beasts are fighting fiercely. Although they have temporarily stabilized the front and even pushed back to the central area of dragon pollution, the number of mechas on the human side is always limited, and the large dragon beasts There is a steady stream of births. If the Dragon Tomb of the Mayan ruins is not completely solved, this war will not end.
And it can’t be delayed any longer. Time is not on the side of humans. They are facing masters from ancient times. The race called dragons is far more powerful than human imagination. Scholars have not yet been able to study the basic principles of dragon pollution. , from animals to plants, including inorganic matter, are all evolving in the direction of dragons due to the influence of some unknown factors. These are just dragons that have not yet awakened. Only God knows when the ancient master really wakes up and is waiting for mankind. What will it be?
Therefore, humans must kill the sleeping masters in the dragon tomb before they awaken.
Every mecha and every qualified person may become the key to the battle situation.
What's more, it was Lu Mingfei who awakened the dark demon known as the ultimate weapon.
This is a more powerful mecha than Eri's Karma Red Lotus.
In the deciphered documents, the ancient civilization described the Dark Lord as "the tombkeeper of the gods".
Not only that, in terms of qualified candidates, Lu Mingfei's various qualities are also at the forefront. As a mecha second only to the Dark Demon King, people had hoped that Eriyi would bring the dawn, but unfortunately as a qualified candidate Eri Yi was born with a congenital defect and was born frail and sickly. Even if he barely managed to pilot a mecha, he would have to recuperate for a long time, otherwise his life might be in danger.
However, there are too few cards that humans can play. As a powerful fighting force, Eri often goes to war, so that it is difficult to return.
"Let's take a little rest."
Huiliyi wiped Lu Mingfei's sweat with a wet towel.
“It’s just a matter of combining work and rest.”
In the days that followed, they trained together.
"How does Eriyi improve the synchronization rate?"
"If you want to say..."
"I just wanted to become great, and I thought and thought, and then Karma Fire Red Lotus responded to me."
"Response?"
"yes."
"Ming Feijun can also sense it."
"Mechas have a life of their own. As long as you use your heart, Ming Feijun will definitely be able to sense the Dark Lord's voice."
Just as humans are helpless against the pollution caused by dragon transformation, they are also clueless when faced with the reverse derivation project of mechas.
What is the energy source of the mecha?
What are the criteria for selecting qualified candidates?
What are the factors that affect synchronization rate?
By what means are the weapon systems consumed during combat completed?
Scientists cannot answer any of these questions.
To modern humans, the mecha created by ancient civilizations is just a black box. You can't even open it to see what's inside.
Scholars speculate that qualified candidates must have something in common, but what is it specifically? No one can come up with a convincing guess.
There was no manual for Lu Mingfei to refer to.
He could only discuss it with Eriki, but most of the time he thought about it on his own. The Dark Lord was the ultimate weapon and the most difficult mecha to pilot. He had to work hard to see progress.
The average synchronization rate is improving little by little.
It hovered between 65% and 70%, and finally stabilized at 70%, and then slowly rose.
in the venue.
The red mecha stretched out its hands and pulled the black mecha, walking slowly step by step.
Hui Liyi and Lu Mingfei, who are in a synchronized state, are communicating in the channel.
Their current position is inside the mecha, immersed in a liquid called "amniotic fluid". This is a technology of ancient civilizations. Qualified people can use it to establish a spiritual link with the mecha. How they control their hands and feet will control the mecha. , and it is for this reason that the mecha is designed into a giant humanoid shape, precisely to match the behavioral logic of qualified people.
“Well done!”
Eriki said with a smile.
She is cooperating with Lu Mingfei's training and passing on her experience step by step.
In the restaurant, two people still wearing close-fitting combat uniforms were eating.
Ever since Eri Yi came over, Lu Mingfei had a smile on his face. He rarely paid attention to other people's advice, but he could listen to Eri Yi. Lu Mingfei no longer trained crazily and occasionally They would take a break, and they would talk about anime and games. Sometimes they would listen to music when they were tired, the same song, sharing headphones with each other, and sitting quietly together.
Hui Liyi teaches Lu Mingfei the experience of driving a mecha, and Lu Mingfei teaches Hui Liyi how to fight.
The average synchronization rate between Eriyi and Karma Red Lotus is stable at 82%, with a peak of 85%. In previous battles, as long as Karma Fire comes, it can take over the entire battlefield. Before becoming a qualified person, Eriyi was just an ordinary person. She is a girl with no fighting experience or military training, but all mechas have a built-in combat assistance system. It doesn't matter if Eriyi doesn't have experience, but Yehuo Honglian does. Many times Yehuo Honglian fights according to its basic logic, but This is not the most ideal combat model. The qualified person and the mecha should be complementary to each other. In other words, Eriyi failed to exert the true power of the Fire Red Lotus.
It is too difficult to improve the synchronization rate, but those who are qualified can improve their own quality. The average synchronization rate of 82% is enough. What Eriyi needs to do is to make up for her shortcomings. If she can have the same melee skills as Lu Mingfei, no , with one-third of the skills, Karma Fire Red Lotus' combat effectiveness can be improved to a higher level.
A qualified person knows a qualified person best. There are many differences between mecha fighting and human fighting, so Lu Mingfei took on the responsibility of coaching Eri Yi in boxing and kicking skills, and at the same time customized several battles for her based on the characteristics of Yehuo Honglian. action.
"Guren's advantages are speed, high coordination of thrusters and legs. In order to maximize this, I hope you can master the kicking skills..."
"Kick?"
A gust of wind blew, blowing Eri's red hair.
Lu Mingfei's boots hit the ground.
"Like this, you try it and see."
"Uh-huh."
Eriki thought about Lu Mingfei's actions just now and tried to kick.
Lu Mingfei held her toes and frowned.
"Too soft!"
"No energy!"
"You are exerting your strength in the wrong place."
"What's the use of just exerting force on your thighs? You have to use your upper waist and straddle strength."
He kept talking for a long time, and suddenly, seeing Eri Yi looking distracted, he couldn't help but sink his face.
"what's on your mind!"
Eriki blushed and lowered her head.
"Well, Mr. Mingfei, can you let go first and put my legs down?"
Lu Mingfei let go of his hand as if he was electrocuted, and Eliyi lost her balance and almost fell. He subconsciously tried to help her, but the two people who were in a hurry rolled into a ball.
The boy looked at the girl.
"Hugh... take a rest."
"Um……"
The five fingers seemed to still have the same feeling as before. Lu Mingfei tried hard to force himself not to think too much. But, having said that, who came up with the rule that shoes are not allowed in the training ground? He really loves that guy!
…………
"Mecha self-test program, start."
"Combat assistance system, activate."
"Synchronization rate..."
"1%, 5%, 18%, 32%, 71%..."
"74%!"
The dark mecha woke up, and with the roar of metal, he raised his head, his scarlet eyes terrifying.
He leaned forward, charging forward.
Instant acceleration.
Oncoming was a red light.
The Dark Demon King and the Red Lotus of Karma passed by each other.
A moment's pause.
Then came the violent storm attack.
The red mecha turned into blazing flames, streaking across the sky like a meteor shower. She spun around, kicked her legs, and made a loud boom like a passing typhoon, leaving countless traces on the alloy field.
"Such destructive power! It's so powerful!"
"Sure enough, special training for qualified candidates is effective!"
"Who can give me the data? I feel that the combat effectiveness of the Red Lotus Envoy now is twice what it was in the past!"
"It's faster! How did you do it? It's amazing!"
The dark mecha raised its arms, accurately predicting the landing point of Karma Red Lotus's attack, and stepped back to release its strength. At the last step, its knees bent, and the dark devil's joints crazily accumulated potential energy. In less than a second, he fought back. !
The people watching the battle could not take their eyes away.
But the Dark Lord's counterattack failed to come out. His smooth movements suddenly stopped and he was stuck for half a second. Don't look at it, it was only half a second. On the battlefield where life and death were instantaneous, this half second was enough to be fatal.
As expected, Yehuo Honglian did not miss this loophole. Her toes rested on the heart of the Dark Demon King, where Lu Mingfei was.
The discussion is over.
Lu Mingfei wiped his sweat and shook his head.
"Sure enough, the synchronization rate of 74% means there is no need to fight."
"Don't be discouraged, Ming Feijun is already very powerful."
Lu Mingfei looked at Eli Yi with a bright smile and smiled helplessly.
The girl's face was abnormally flushed and her breathing was somewhat disordered.
"Your body..."
Lu Mingfei said worriedly.
"Is it really okay?"
Eriyi shook her head.
"Please don't worry about me. Just take a rest and it will be fine."
"In my opinion, Eriki should hold off for now. The burden of driving the Fire Red Lotus is too great for you."
"it does not matter."
It was rare that she actually shook her head.
"Everyone is working hard, how can I be lazy alone."
Saying that, Eriki narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Lu Mingfei knew what the girl meant by everyone.
The battle situation on the front line is tense. In front of the endless army of dragon beasts, even if humans have mechas, the situation is not optimistic.
"Both of you!"
The messenger stood at attention and said to Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi.
"The headquarters has issued an urgent order, please rush to the front line immediately!"
Their expressions changed, and they almost spoke in unison.
"His sync rate..."
"Her body..."
As soon as the words came out, the two of them were stunned and looked at each other, seeing concern in each other's eyes.
"I'm extremely sorry. This is a transfer order from the headquarters. Please take a look at it."
The orderly handed out the document with both hands.
It’s not just Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi.
The transfer order faces all qualified candidates. Regardless of whether you have passed the synchronization rate or not, whether you have taken a vacation or not, as long as the injury is not so serious that you cannot move, you must rush to the front line as soon as you receive the transfer order.
Lu Mingfei looked serious.
"That place was actually lost!"
"Um."
This is the first international city to fall since the war began.
The tide of dragon beasts suddenly attacked, and the monsters demonstrated a new technology. Thousands of dragon beasts were superimposed and twisted, and their flesh and blood merged with each other, forming a large dragon beast within three minutes.
Six large dragon beasts besieged the city, and the mecha stationed there was unable to support itself. After desperately killing two dragon beasts, the mecha was paralyzed. One dragon beast bit off the mecha's head, and another dragon beast cut open the mecha's chest. Those who were qualified were on the spot. sacrifice.
This is the dragon's counterattack, and the battle situation is changing rapidly. As the mechas with the highest combat power, Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi must be on the front line.
They were going to two different cities and were leaving immediately without any delay. Lu Mingfei only had time to say "take care" to Hui Liyi, who nodded vigorously.
The soldiers were busy in a huddle, and the researchers were sorting out the documents enthusiastically. The two turned around and ran back to back to their respective mechas.
Before taking two steps, Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and turned around.
The soldiers next to him called him repeatedly.
"Lieutenant! Where are you going!"
Lu Mingfei ran wildly without looking back.
Eriki, who was wearing a red tight-fitting combat uniform, ran very slowly. She frowned and was worried.
At this moment.
Eriyi staggered.
Who hugged her from behind.
The girl's panicked look calmed down after hearing a familiar voice.
Lu Mingfei called her.
"Eriyi."
"Um."
Lu Mingfei pursed his lips.
It was obviously just a moment in the past.
But it looks like it lasts for thousands of years.
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself!"
They separate.
Eriki turned around and they looked at each other.
The girl smiled.
"Didn't you always say that you wanted to hear me play the piano?"
"if possible."
"Next time we meet, I'll play it for you."
Lu Mingfei stroked her hair.
"Okay, it's settled."
"Well, it's a deal!"
The accompanying soldiers looked anxious. Lu Mingfei gently hugged Eli Yi, who rested her head on his shoulder.
Not even a second.
"gone!"
"goodbye!"
They turned around and ran towards their respective mechas as fast as they could.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly.
The soldier said helplessly.
"Second Lieutenant, you are too willful. If the headquarters knows about this, you will definitely be punished."
"It's just a punishment, it's worth it."
The soldier shook his head and smiled.
"But don't worry, no one will report it."
"Also, Lieutenant."
"If the war is over, can I come to your wedding?"
Lu Mingfei looked embarrassed.
"what are you saying?"
The soldier laughed.
"You must survive, Lieutenant!"
"You too, soldier."
