Seeing Qi Yuan's back disappear from sight, Yuan Gaoyu felt that his guess might not be impossible.
After all, it is a test, and Major General Fang may also need to verify the operating threshold of the mecha.
"The selection is over, go and rest. Someone will take you on a mission in a week."
Qiu Chen's voice was like a bell, and he looked at the people in front of him who were either excited, disappointed or annoyed with serious expressions. Praise and criticism took turns, and everyone quickly adjusted their status.
Everyone here is a leader in each unit. To be honest, in Qiu Chen's opinion, they will all be ideal candidates for future combat units.
"Okay, turn left, target the cafeteria."
After the selection, under the leadership of Qiu Chen, Yuan Gaoyu followed the queue towards the canteen.
The already crowded canteen became even more noisy because of Qi Yuan's arrival.
The guards led by Si Yan protected Qi Yuan. No one spoke in the cafeteria, but the restlessness behind the scenes made the atmosphere a bit solemn and tense.
Although he is a major general of the First Army, to be honest, Qi Yuan basically spends his time either in the laboratory or resting in his residence. The number of visits to the military area can be counted on one's fingers, let alone the visits to the military area canteen.
Qi Yuan stood in front of the dining window of the cafeteria and turned around to look at the soldiers eating quietly in the cafeteria.
"It's okay. Just let the soldiers at the door come in to eat first."
Looking at the empty surroundings, Qi Yuan said something to Si Yan and waved his hand so that the guards did not have to follow.
Stand in the corner yourself and look for a suitable test subject.
Feeling the eyes on him, to be honest, no soldier can eat in peace without caring.
He relied solely on eye contact to guess Qi Yuan's purpose in coming to the military canteen.
Wang Lang was eating with his comrades. Thinking of being passed over for selection, he still couldn't help but look up and want to see what the legendary Major General Fang Zhe looked like.
Isn't it that so many people in the military region participate in the selection to enter the major general's test project and become the first batch of members of the mecha unit?
As soon as Wang Lang raised his head, he met Qi Yuan's peaceful eyes. Just one glance at him gave him the feeling of being seen through. His wisdom seemed to be like wisdom itself, impenetrable yet transparent.
Qi Yuan just looked at the candidates for a while and then he had a candidate in mind and selected them on his personal computer.
"Let's go to the weapons department."
Qi Yuan put away his computer and turned around to leave, just in time to bump into Qiu Chen arriving at the cafeteria.
"Uncle Qiu."
"Leaving now? Have you eaten?" Qiu Chen asked, his elder-like concern was completely different from the way he was lecturing just now.
"No, I'll go to the weapons department first. By the way, I've also sent you some opinions on the selection. You can take a look after dinner."
Qiu Chen nodded. The mecha experiment was more important, so when Qi Yuan said he was going to the weapons department, Qiu Chen didn't say anything more.
But when he saw the familiar names on the list Qi Yuan sent him after finishing his work, Qiu Chen couldn't help but be confused.
There is still a gap between the people on the list and those selected. Qiu Chen frowned and thought, and then realized that this selection was just an experiment on the performance of the mecha, not arming.
It's also his fault that he was so happy that he ran away after hearing this.
The experiment entered the second stage, and all the data of the mecha came out. Therefore, with China's current technology, the first mecha was born in the weapons department a week later.
The mecha is not too big. The four-person mecha is dark golden in color, and the defensive properties of the new materials are not much better than those of starships. As a sharp knife for single-player combat, in addition to its obvious advantage in flight speed, Qi Yuan also put a lot of thought into the weapon configuration.
After all, this is her confidence to expand the territory of the Star Territory in the future. How can we conquer the country without getting better?
A week passed quickly, and the mecha was taken to a wide area for performance experiments.
It’s still a familiar laboratory and a familiar desert.
"Major General, you can prepare for the test."
Qiu Chen and the troops participating in the experiment have been assembled.
Looking at the cool mecha in front of them, everyone couldn't help but admire it.
"It's time to start, let's start testing in order."
Before arriving, Academician Liu and the soldiers had been asked to popularize science, so Qi Yuan did not want to make any unnecessary explanations.
"Yuan Gaoyu, come out!" Qiu Chen called his name, and Yuan Gaoyu was the first to conduct the test.
Watching Yuan Gaoyu enter the mecha, all Qi Yuan's attention was on the experimental data.
The space inside the mecha is not large. After all, this is only a small mecha. The capacity of a large mecha has exceeded the limit with Blue Star's current technology.
Everything has its limits, and so does technology. Just like bomb tanks in ancient times, things that exceed the limits are not necessarily good.
"Consciousness connection successful, test begins."
As the system prompt sounded, a virtual screen appeared in front of the helmet worn by Yuan Gaoyu. The 360° panoramic picture was not only clear in quality but also wide in scope.
Yuan Gaoyu was just thinking about seeing the location of the laboratory clearly, when the scene of the laboratory in the distance appeared in front of his eyes, and even the expressions on everyone's faces were clear.
Yuan Gaoyu was also startled by such a random move. Humans' vision is limited, but the mecha's vision is all-round. Such a sudden change made Yuan Gaoyu feel like his eyes were opened behind his back.
It was clearly the mecha's vision, but it gave him his own sensory experience, which made him still a little uncomfortable.
After Yuan Gaoyu barely adapted, the system's next prompt began.
Following the system prompts, Yuan Gaoyu also began to master the basic operations of the mecha.
"It's moving, it's moving! The mecha is moving."
The dark golden mecha took two tentative steps. Because it was the first operation, the movements were a bit too exaggerated. It looked really funny, but overall it was quite stable.
As time passed, it was getting late, but the enthusiasm of the people waiting remained undiminished. Yuan Gaoyu became more and more comfortable operating the mecha.
Qi Yuan looked at the data in front of him and nodded secretly, "Academician Liu, conduct the next unit test."
"Flight test operations begin."
The system's beep sounded again. As a Star Wars combat unit, interstellar navigation capability is one of the important test contents.
After a whole day of testing, even his excitement could not hide Yuan Gaoyu's exhaustion. He took a deep breath before following the system prompts to start the first flight test.
The power system was activated, the energy source was converted into flight power, and the mecha gradually took off under the control of Yuan Gaoyu.
"The flight power system test is normal."
"Testing begins."
Qi Yuan looked at the mecha in the sky, then returned his gaze to the experimental data, frowning slightly.
After the instruction was completed, Yuan Gaoyu held the controller and operated the mecha to fly. Everything went smoothly and the data was normal.
Suddenly, just when Academician Liu was about to implement the next plan, something unexpected happened. The mecha that was flying normally suddenly lost control and fell rapidly.
"Major General, the control system is abnormal."
