"Hold on." Suddenly, a voice called out to Ye Chong. A middle-aged man was walking towards him. This slightly plump man was the person in charge of the recruitment department, Powell.
"What's going on?" There was a tinge of displeasure in Powell's voice. He had seen that candidate number 231 seemed to be planning to leave, so he had hurried over.
If he had not passed by the combat assessment area, and witnessed the sudden outburst of the sleepy young man, Powell would not have come here himself. Even now, the soul-stirring scene he saw in the combat area was still lingering in his mind. The two intersecting silhouettes and the incessant sounds of punches and kicks colliding like rain on a banana leaf had him stunned at that moment.
Ye Chong did not know that Taylor had exhausted himself in the fight with him, and had to change examiners for the upcoming assessment. Powell deliberately asked Taylor for his opinion, and the conclusion he received shocked him even more, even though he was already very surprised. Taylor told Powell openly that he had been at a complete disadvantage throughout the entire process. He could still remember Taylor's bitter smile clearly.
Powell knew nothing about combat, but he could vaguely feel that he had caught a big fish!
He had come here specifically to watch Mech 231's combat assessment. Now that it was finally Number 231's turn, the unfathomable Number 231 was planning to leave. How could he not be surprised?
The staff member hurriedly explained the situation to him.
"No mechs?" Powell was taken aback as well. He had not expected this to happen. A mech pilot did not have his own mech? It was hard to accept.
However, he did not want to let Ye Chong go so easily. He thought for a moment, and asked, "Do we have any new mechs in the warehouse? Yes, I mean close range mechs. "
"New close range mechs, there's only one experimental mech. The rest are some long range mechs and some abandoned mechs," the staff answered smoothly.
"Experimental mech?" Powell frowned.
"It's been stored for about five or six years. I heard that it's a failed experiment," the staff stuttered.
Powell then realized that it was a failed experiment. In the Research Consortium, modifications and innovations of various mechs were constantly being carried out, resulting in many failed products. These failed products were often left in the warehouse, untouched.
"Would you like to try it? We can only supply you with this model of mech. "Powell hesitated, but asked anyway. However, up until now, he no longer had any hope. Who would be foolish enough to pilot a failed experimental mech?
"Alright." Unexpectedly, Ye Chong nodded in agreement.
To Ye Chong, why not try? This was not a loss to him at all. He had an extra opportunity for no reason. This was a very fortunate thing.
Powell was taken aback for a moment, then he said with a hint of admiration, "Alright, he will bring you to the storage to pick the experimental mech."
The staff led Ye Chong to the storeroom. The huge warehouse was empty, with only a few mechs piled up in the corner.
"This place is full, but the frontline has been under a lot of pressure lately, so the mechs here have been sent to the frontline. Now, there are only a few experimental mechs left, "the staff explained.
Ye Chong followed the staff closely to the few mechs in the corner.
"Here, there's only one close combat mech left. You can try it out." The staff pointed at the dusty mech in the corner.
This mech had been here for five years, quietly sitting in an inconspicuous corner. Usually, no one would come to clean it. Hence, when Ye Chong saw the mech for the first time, the mech was covered in a thick layer of dust. The staff who came with Ye Chong did not intend to approach it, and stopped at a distance.
Ye Chong did not mind at all. Back in the day, when he dug through the garbage mountains, there were much dirtier places than this.
It took a lot of effort for him to sweep the dust off the surface of the experimental mech. The dust filled the entire storeroom, and the staff quickly retreated out of the room. After all, there was nothing worth noticing in the storeroom, except for some scrap metal.
The experimental mech that Ye Chong had dusted off finally revealed its true appearance.
The black and white mech had a unique style. It did not have the dazzling metallic luster of the usual mechs, but had a more reserved feel. This mech was different from all the mechs Ye Chong had seen before. Usually, the main body and limbs of a humanoid mech would be roughly proportioned, to make it look more natural. However, on this mech, the limbs were exaggerated, like an ordinary person with bulging arms and legs. Other than the small V-shaped shield on its arm, there were no other weapons on the mech.
Ye Chong's interest was piqued. As a mech maker, he was very interested in all kinds of strange mechs.
Ye Chong entered the mech's cockpit. The triangular control console was also different from the ones he had seen before, and the layout of the buttons was confusing to Ye Chong, as it was very different from the standard control console.
Ye Chong had no choice but to enter the instruction program of the photon processor, and began to control the mech step by step.
It took Ye Chong a whole hour to get a general idea of how to control the mech. This also made him understand why this mech was left here for five years without anyone touching it.
This was a very unique mech. Even though he had seen many mechs, this mech could still be described as unique.
This was a mech designed for combat. Strictly speaking, this was an extreme mech designed for close combat on the ground. Its range of use was very limited, and it was only suitable for close combat on the ground. Because of this, the mech's design was set from the beginning, and it was destined to not be taken seriously by people.
The mech's design was very extreme. It only had one engine, which allowed it to fly normally. However, its warping ability was terrible, and it could only fly in a straight line. This also meant that it could not be used in aerial combat. As everyone knew, aerial combat required nimble warping.
However, this mech was not useless in Ye Chong's eyes. On the contrary, he believed that under the right circumstances, the mech would be able to unleash its full potential.
The mech's other auxiliary engines were all installed on the mech's limbs, which made the mech's limbs incredibly powerful. The mech's unique design also determined its unique combat style. It needed the explosive power of its legs to accelerate, and not the engine. It was a little like a human, and completely different from the average mech. There were many flaws in this design, as every step required leverage, such as the ground. To most mech pilots, this was completely unacceptable, as they were more used to warping in the air.
To counter this unique combat style, the mech's designer had optimized the control panel specifically. This was why many mech pilots were hesitant to take a step forward. Many mech pilots did not understand the mech's true strength, and were scared off by the strange control panel.
It was because of these reasons that the mech was left untouched, and could only be placed in the most remote corner of the warehouse.
However, Ye Chong still noticed many things about the mech that stood out. The mech's designer must be an outstanding Maverick, or at least he must have a deep understanding of photon processor algorithms. The mech's center of gravity calculation and automatic balancing system were the best he had ever seen. With every movement, the photon processor would calculate the mech's center of gravity position in the shortest time possible, and adjust accordingly. This was the mech with the best sense of balance Ye Chong had ever used.
Not only that, the mech's limbs were greatly strengthened, and if it were to engage in close combat, it would be a nightmare for the opponent. It was like Hercules, if the opponent was hit, they would either die or be crippled.
In terms of weapons, to ensure the mech's agility, it did not choose heavy weapons, but the variety of small weapons still dazzled Ye Chong.
Parrying spears, laser swords, Pentagram darts, blades under the soles, hand guards, elbow spikes, self-ejecting knee blades …
This was a weapon in human form! However, the design of each weapon was ingenious, and it was impossible to see anything wrong with it from the outside. Ye Chong could not help but sigh. The designer of this mech was a genius, and also a madman, an extreme madman!
This mech required its pilot to have a deep understanding of human combat, the most basic of which was how to exert force, and how to gain speed through the legs. This was perfect for Ye Chong. Not only was he one of the top experts in combat, but the September Lan family's techniques also gave him a fundamental understanding of strength. In Ye Chong's eyes, this mech looked like a larger version of Guardian.
Right now, the only problem in front of him was this strange control panel!
Habits formed over a long period of time could not be changed overnight. In combat, any hesitation could cost one's life. This was one of the main reasons why other mech pilots kept their distance from this mech. Everyone was already familiar with the standard control panel, and it would take too much time to familiarize themselves with a new control panel.
Habit was really a fatal thing!
Ye Chong had no choice but to familiarize himself with the mech. Fortunately, he did not reject the mech itself. Besides, he had piloted many mechs over the years, and this greatly improved his adaptability.
A mech with ridiculously strong limbs began to perform the simplest movements in the huge storage room, stumbling like a baby learning to walk. (To be continued. For further information, please log on to WWW .CMFU. com. More chapters. Support the author. Support the original!)
