The driving position of the mecha is a human-shaped groove, which is usually located at the core of the mecha's chest. The mecha master is completely integrated with the mecha through this humanoid groove. Except for a few functions that require manual and mental control, the most important thing is to rely on the mecha master's own movements.
Whatever action the mecha master makes inside the mecha, the mecha will make corresponding actions accordingly.
Therefore, the physical requirements of a mecha master are very high. It not only requires strong physical fitness, but also requires amazing control over one's own body. Such restrictions destined that only soul masters with strong cultivation levels could become the top mecha masters.
Of course, in non-combat situations, mecha masters can also make mechas act according to procedures.
For long-distance flights that are not urgent, the mecha master can set the destination in advance and let the mecha cruise automatically.
However, with the current technological level of the Sun-Moon Federation, achieving this level is already the limit. In order to allow the mecha to launch more complex attacks during battle, the mecha master still needs to perform high-intensity control.
The fifteen purple-level mechas of the Mecha Master Association are in a state of automatic cruising, flying at a constant speed, and can maintain a stable formation with the surrounding mechas through the radar and navigation inside the mechas.
This is also to give the mecha masters a buffer time to gradually adapt to the state of controlling mechas.
The purple-level mecha masters of the Mecha Master Association were not under any pressure from this operation, but were very happy to be able to participate in this operation.
First of all, the Mecha Master Association is only responsible for patrolling the offshore waters near Donghai City. There is no need to go deep into the sea, and safety is guaranteed. Furthermore, Donghai City officials have stated in advance that all gains from this operation belong to individuals.
Even if you just hunt and kill a sea soul beast with an ordinary thousand-year cultivation level, you can get extremely rich rewards from it. In this era where soul beasts are on the verge of extinction, the value of a thousand-year soul beast can be imagined.
The entry threshold for mechas is indeed much lower than that of doukai, but if you want to improve it later, the financial resources consumed are far higher than that of doukai. The more advanced the mecha, the greater the cost of maintenance. And this requires a lot of financial support.
Even though the mecha masters look beautiful, only they themselves know the sadness behind them. Not all mecha masters are like Xu Xiaoyu, who is backed by a powerful soul master family. Many mecha masters are from civilians and can only rely on themselves.
If Yinluan hadn't been lucky enough to be accepted as a direct disciple by Yu Zhen, he would have been a typical example among these civilian mecha masters.
When the fifteen purple-level mechas entered the sea, they all stopped in unison. Three pairs of folded wings behind it slowly opened, floating hundreds of meters in the air.
The person responsible for leading the team from the Mecha Master Association is a senior purple-level mecha master. He has just broken through to the sixth-ring Soul Emperor realm not long ago. As long as all the core parts of your mecha are replaced with spiritually forged metal, you can officially become a black-level mecha master.
"The president has explained the precautions for this operation in detail before, so I won't repeat them again. The areas each team is responsible for patrolling have been uploaded to the navigation system. If there is any emergency, initiate a distress signal in time . Now according to the pre-divided groups, take action separately! "
"Copy that!" Everyone responded at the same time, and then quickly dispersed.
Yu Nanyuan controlled his mecha, drawing a brilliant silver-purple light and shadow in the air, galloping freely. Perhaps he was influenced by his grandfather since he was a child. After he really came into contact with mechas, he fell in love with this feeling from the bottom of his heart. The feeling of flying freely in the air.
This is probably the so-called young mind. Although his childhood experiences made his character somewhat paranoid, it did not completely obliterate his nature.
Xu Xiaoyu's mecha moved parallel to Yu Nanyuan's flank. Yinluan's mecha was slightly behind the two of them, and it was flying at a higher altitude. The three of them formed a special triangle formation.
This is a fairly common formation and combination in modern mecha warfare. Two melee attack mechas were blocking the front, and the long-range attack mechas were responsible for providing fire support from the rear.
Especially when dealing with sea soul beasts, such formations and combinations are even more applicable. The Sea Soul Beast's strength will indeed increase to a certain extent in the sea, but it has always lacked the means to control the air.
In order to facilitate sonar detection of the situation on the seabed, the three of them even deliberately lowered their flight altitude and kept it at an altitude of about a hundred meters above the sea level.
Yu Nanyuan spread his limbs and looked down through the hatch in the center of the cockpit at the sea passing by below. The blue and clear sea was undulating with sparkling waves in the morning sun, which made him feel much more relaxed.
"Nanyuan, I heard from Xiaoyan that your goal in Class 0 is to apply for Shrek Academy?" Xu Xiaoyu's voice sounded in the driver's seat.
Yu Nanyuan looked sideways subconsciously, saw Xu Xiaoyu's face from the blue-purple mecha on the side, and nodded calmly.
"Yes, Xiaoyan is right. From the beginning when Teacher Wu taught Class Zero, he hoped that we could be admitted to Shrek Academy. And some time ago, grandpa also agreed to let us participate in Shrek Academy's admissions assessment."
Xu Xiaoyu sighed with a complicated expression and stared at Yu Nanyuan with burning eyes.
"For hundreds of years, only Xiaoyan has completed the mutated awakening of the Star Staff Spirit in our family. To be honest, her talent is much better than mine, but there is still a huge gap between her and you that is insurmountable. My father and I can see that Xiaoyan's personality doesn't like fighting. If she gets tired of this in the future, you can take her back to Donghai City. Although my father has high hopes for Xiaoyan, in fact, both my father and I hope that Xiaoyan can live according to his own wishes. Go down."
"I understand what you mean, Brother Xiaoyu." Yu Nanyuan nodded solemnly.
Xu Xiao said this and did not ask Yu Nanyuan any other questions. As an older brother, his expectations are actually very simple and pure.
"Xiaoyu, people will change, and the choices they make in each period may also be different. Who can prepare for what will happen in the future? Just like you have always thought about going to other high-end colleges to further your studies. Did you ever think at that time that you would choose to stay here in Donghai City? Everything should follow Xiaoyan's own wishes. What is certain is that Nanyuan and Xiaoyan's future is much brighter than ours." Yinluan smiled slightly and inserted in time The topic between Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyu was discussed.
"Okay, let's do our inspection work first. I hope we can gain something this time. Going out once is always to have the effect of experience."
Yinluan's words didn't mean anything else, but Xu Xiaoyu couldn't help but think of something, and her face looked a little unnatural.
Seeing this scene, Yu Nanyuan couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes.
Xu Xiaoyu, who has a cold temperament in front of outsiders, did not expect to have such a side.
Then the three of them tacitly accelerated their flight speed and entered a state of high-speed cruising. The flying speed of the purple-level mecha was much faster than the soul trains and soul cars on the ground, and soon they arrived at the responsible sea area.
The radar and sonar carried inside the mecha detect the situation on the seabed. Once a soul power fluctuation of a certain intensity is detected, the specific location will be immediately displayed on the blue light screen inside the mecha.
The inspection work is actually not complicated. The huge energy carried by the energy core of the purple-level mecha can even last more than ten hours if it is not in a high-intensity battle.
This is also the reason why the Mecha Master Association only dispatched purple-level mechas this time. Not to mention the limited strength of the yellow-level mecha, the battery life is simply unsustainable. As for the most common standard white-level mecha, it doesn't even have the function of flying.
The depth of offshore waters is usually below five hundred meters. If a spirit beast appears within the detection range of radar and sonar, it will almost never be missed. On the other hand, the boundary area between the offshore waters and the deep sea waters that the Donghai City Mecha Brigade is responsible for is much more dangerous.
Unlike the mainland, there are sea spirit beasts inhabiting any level in the ocean. In the deep sea that cannot be detected by sonar, extremely powerful existences may be hidden.
Yu Nanyuan and the other three patrolled the area. As they gradually deepened into the sea, they finally discovered three light spots on the radar that contained fluctuations in soul power. And these three light spots are still rapidly approaching their direction.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep..." The radar kept sounding the alarm.
Yinluan, who was high in the sky, carefully checked the information on the radar, and quickly reminded Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyu: "Judging from the ups and downs of soul power, these three sea soul beasts have at least a thousand years of cultivation. .They are moving very fast and will be here soon. Get ready to fight!"
Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyu, who were responsible for blocking the front, immediately became vigilant and looked forward intently.
On the blue sea in the distance, a few dark purple scales vaguely appeared. After taking several breaths, everyone finally saw clearly the three distinct shark fins standing upright.
These three shark fins were arranged in a triangle, like dark purple arrows, heading straight towards Yu Nanyuan and the others. The sharp dark purple back cut through the water waves, with dense purple lightning flashing on it. These thunder lights turned into countless electric arcs and rippled out, rendering the entire sea area an oppressive black-purple color.
Yu Nanyuan's eyes narrowed, and a strange silver eye appeared out of thin air in the distance. The pupil rotated, the golden lines around it flickered, and everything seen by this pupil was clearly presented in his sight.
They were three sharks over four meters long, with purple lines that resembled tiger stripes imprinted on their gray skin. He has a slender body, extremely fast speed, and looks extremely ferocious.
"The Dark Thunder Tiger Shark has a cultivation level of around three thousand years." Yu Nanyuan shared the information with Yinluan and Xu Xiaoyu as soon as he made his judgment.
Sea soul beasts living in the sea have the innate ability to control the water attribute. On the basis of the water attribute, the Dark Thunder Tiger Shark has an extremely destructive thunder attribute. And they have a special innate ability that can fuse their own water attributes and thunder attributes together to form a unique dark thunder attribute.
This is how the Dark Thunder Tiger Shark got its name. Although not as powerful as the Demon Soul Great White Shark, it is still one of the top predators in the ocean.
Yinluan made a quick decision and controlled the mecha to raise a pair of arms. Accompanied by the sound of metal fitting together, two jet-black barrels extended from the palm of the hand.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom——"
While his arms were shaking, incandescent soul cannons were suddenly sprayed out from the two barrels. The flight trajectories of these cannonballs were very strange. They did not fly in a straight line, but in an arc, and they all landed accurately. On the only path that the three dark thunder tiger sharks must pass.
With such accuracy even from a distance of hundreds of meters, Yinluan's control of long-range attacks can be said to be extremely good.
There was a violent roar, huge splashes of water arose on the sea surface, and a strong shock wave erupted at the same time. The sea water all over the sky fell like raindrops, and Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyu, who were bathing in it, had already controlled the mecha and started taking action.
Yu Nanyuan turned on the thruster on the back of the mecha almost without hesitation, holding the purple-gold thunder god's gun in hand, and dived towards the sea below. With the soul power output, a layer of intense purple-gold thunder suddenly burst out from the Thor's Spear, and the gun glow seemed to pierce the sky.
The dorsal fins of the three dark thunder tiger sharks once again emerged from the sea, and countless dark purple light blades shot out from them.
Yu Nanyuan just controlled the mecha to shuttle dexterously among the dense light blades, and the thunder god's gun in his hand was also waving rapidly to block. Every time the dark purple light blade touches the Thor's gun, a dazzling halo will be emitted, but his speed will not decrease at all.
These details fully demonstrate his amazing control over his mecha. Even when the spear is used through the mecha, it is so smooth and smooth, like an arm.
At the same time, Xu Xiaoyu's mecha was floating above the sea at some point, about fifty meters behind Yu Nanyuan. He just fell straight down. Although he didn't get close to this side, he was in the blind spot where the three dark thunder tiger sharks couldn't attack.
The mecha gripped the ice-blue giant sword tightly, and then inserted it into the sea water. A dazzling blue light bloomed on the giant sword, and a biting coldness hit. Centered on the giant sword, the sea surface with a diameter of two hundred meters suddenly condensed.
Ice Tide!
This is not the ability of Xu Xiaoyu's mecha, but the skill of the ten-thousand-year-old ice dragon's right arm soul bone that he once fused. The effect of the ice tide is transmitted from the inside of the mecha to the ice blue giant sword, and then through the amplification of the soul guidance array inside the giant sword, thereby greatly increasing the power of this ten thousand year soul bone skill. .
In this era, the most suitable people to become mecha masters are undoubtedly soul masters like Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyu who are good at long-range attacks and element control. The ones who are most restricted in the mecha era are agility-based soul masters like Xie Xie who need to get close to exert their martial soul abilities.
The sea surface condensed, and the movements of the three Dark Thunder Tiger Sharks were instantly blocked.
At this moment, Yu Nanyuan's mecha suddenly began to tremble at a high frequency, and a faint electric current flowed on its surface.
"Kara, Kara, Kara!" Amidst the three harsh thunders, silver-purple light and shadow flashed out like lightning.
Yu Nanyuan's purple-level mecha appeared on the thick and solid ice in an instant, and slid forward for a certain distance while maintaining the thrusting action of the spear, without making any collision sound. But between the three dark thunder tiger sharks, there was a triangular electric light afterimage that slowly disappeared.
Three circles of purple soul rings gradually condensed and formed on the corpses of the three dark thunder tiger sharks.
