Chapter 523 - 523 Mech Pilot
523 Mech Pilot
Wu Mo had given Hong Peng a comprehensive evaluation. He confirmed that he did not have any underlying illness and that he was mentally strong.
After going through the research institute’s rigorous tests, Wu Mo finally chose Hong Peng to operate the first mech that was a human-machine fusion type!
Hong Peng was extremely excited and bowed to everyone present. “I feel extremely honored to be the first person to pilot a mech. I will uphold Chief Engineer Wu’s ideals and operate this mech well to protect the peace and dignity of China and all mankind!”
Hong Peng’s voice was trembling, and he had tears of excitement. He would become the first human pilot to operate a mech and fight a sea monster at close range.
This was undoubtedly a task filled with glory, and he would be able to talk about it with his descendants in the future. The press conference ended successfully in such an atmosphere.
Wu Mo and Hong Peng became the focus. One was the father of mechs, and the other was the first mech pilot.
He was like a star that received the attention of the outside world. At this time, people were eager to know if Hong Peng could control the mech that was one with the machine to fight against the sea monster.
When would the mech that was one with the machine be revealed?
What would its appearance be like?
As expected, a fierce battle was about to take place. A powerful sea monster appeared out of nowhere and was ranked fourth on the sea monster rankings.
This sea monster was like a steel giant, like a Transformer. Its muscles were like cast steel, and it was so powerful that it made people gasp in amazement!
Its pupils shot out blood-red light like hellfire. When this light reached its peak, four ferocious blades instantly appeared around it!
What was surprising was that these blades did not extend from its bones but were mysterious weapons that came from the deep sea.
This was also the first time in history that a sea monster equipped with weapons had been discovered. When the sea monster named “Blade Demon” appeared along the coast of the city, it waved its four sharp blades and slashed at the dock crazily!
“Run! The Blade Demon is here!” someone cried out in alarm.
The entire city instantly went from tranquility to chaos. The fourth-ranked Blade Demon was extremely rampant, wantonly destroying everything!
Immediately after, a human-machine mech rushed to the scene. This mech did not go through a solemn debut ceremony or make an appearance at the first show conference, but it appeared calmly before everyone.
“Look! This was the legendary human-machine mech. The pilot should be Hong Peng, who had previously appeared at the press conference!”
At this moment, everyone was focused on the screen, and they couldn’t help but feel nervous.
After all, this was the first time a human had operated a mech to fight a sea monster at close range.
Would Hong Peng become famous after one battle?
If they couldn’t gain a critical advantage in the battle against the sea monsters, the human-machine integration mode would prove to be ineffective, and Wu Mo’s research results would be wasted.
At this moment, Hong Peng was in the mech’s cockpit He was examining the complicated control system around him, as well as the rows of buttons and control rods.
His heart was heavy.
Taking a deep breath, he felt the pressure on him lessen slightly. Immediately after, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Recalling Wu Mo’s advice to him, his confidence gradually rose.
Shua!
Hong Peng gripped the two connecting rods tightly and pushed forward with all his might. His blood was boiling.
At this moment, the mech’s steel arms were like a dragon’s wings, and it slashed at the enemy diagonally!
Bang!
The loud sound of collision resounded through the sky. The man-made mech, as well as the Blade Demon’s blade collided fiercely and produced a shocking shockwave.
Both sides took a few steps back. This endless power was transmitted between the two bodies.
The man-made mech ingeniously used its shock absorption to perfectly digest this power. On the other side, the Blade Demon spat out a mouthful of blood in pain!
“Look, the mech beat the Blade Demon until it vomited blood. Its strength is off the charts!”
“Yeah, but I haven’t seen the power of this mech’s martial arts yet. I wonder how amazing it is.”
“Look! The Blade Demon is attacking!”
At this moment, the Blade Demon was burning with anger. It waved its four blades and slashed forward like a storm.
“Heavens! Four blades?” Hong Peng’s eyes shone brightly. Seeing this, he immediately piloted his mech and displayed his ultimate skill in combat.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The mech instantly displayed astonishing speed and agility. With its head lowered, its shoulders relaxed, and its legs slightly bent, it shuttled across the battlefield like a cheetah.
Immediately after, the mech swung its blade forward. Then, it lifted its body and drifted to another position like a ghost.
This series of movements was as smooth as flowing water. It was hard to believe that this was done by a huge mech!
“This… Is it for real? Such a huge mech can make such nimble and continuous movements, and even dodge all of the Blade Demon’s attacks?”
“It’s true. The realm of human-machine integration is shocking!”
“This is too much! This is the ultimate form of a mech! Battle God and Zero pale in comparison, don’t they?”
“That’s right! Battle God might have powerful hardware, but if it were to fight against this mech, it would definitely be smashed to the ground!”
The people at the scene widened their eyes. They felt that only this mech could be called a perfect creation.
This was because the mobility that it displayed was enough to crush the slower mechs like Battle God and Zero.
The monster was also stunned by the series of operations performed by the mech. It stood rooted to the ground, unable to regain its senses.
Its huge head was filled with confusion. How could this steel giant be more agile than it?
“Haha! The results are just as I expected! With this method of operation, it should not be a problem for a mech to fight several sea monsters at the same time.”
Seeing this, Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction.
“Wu Mo, your idea of integrating humans and machines is truly unique. Moreover, this super smart control system is top-notch. How did you do it?” an officer beside him asked with a smile.
“Actually, the integration of man and machine is not out of reach. Anyone can become a pilot as long as they train at home and master basic mech operating skills.”
“Oh, are you saying that there are many people in China who can become pilots like Hong Peng?” the officer asked curiously.
He was even interested in piloting a mech to fight monsters. This was an extraordinary experience. Once a person tried it, it would be unforgettable.
Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll publish a basic textbook on mech operation and design a set of fixed examination procedures. As long as you grasp the basic knowledge and pass the examination, you’ll have the qualifications to pilot a mech.”
Hearing Wu Mo’s words, everyone present was shocked. They knew that with the advancement of this project, there would be a craze for mech operators in the country and even the world.
The passionate people all threw themselves into learning mech piloting techniques and underwent all kinds of simulation training continuously, all for the sake of becoming a mech pilot one day.
At that time, they would be able to obtain a mech pilot’s license and obtain the qualifications to operate a mech.
However, the problem was that since there were not enough mechs for them to pilot, what was the point of such qualifications?
