To most people, mechs were only meant for combat. That was not the case. There were many types of mechs. For example, engineering mechs were equipped with specialized equipment such as mineral markers. Maintenance mechs were equipped with specialized maintenance tools to repair damaged mechs or starships on the battlefield. There were also rescue mechs that were specifically designed to search for surviving mech pilots on the battlefield …
There were countless specialized mechs, but the most important use of mechs was definitely for combat. However, even combat mechs had their own differences. Ranged combat, close combat, support, suppressive fire, short-range ambushes …
While most mechs could be used for combat, mechs that were designed purely for combat were rare. These mechs were simple in design, aiming for maximum damage. They were killing machines in every sense of the word. Compared to them, the average advanced mech was like an amateur killer. Usually, only the major organizations would focus on such research. However, such mechs were rarely seen on the battlefield. Many of their configurations, such as their unconventional weapons, were often criticized.
These mechs were rare in the market. Even He Yue Galaxy and Gray Valley, which were known for their ferocious culture, were rare.
D-6 was one such mech. It was a mech meant for battle. Its design was based on maximizing the damage it could inflict.
D-6, a humanoid close combat mech. Highly mobile and fast. A mech designed for combat personnel in the Research Consortium.
Ye Chong could not make heads or tails of the brief introduction. However, he did not need a detailed description. As a mech maker, Ye Chong had a better understanding of mechs than most people. He could roughly tell the mech's capabilities at a glance.
Ye Chong studied the mech closely, and could not help but feel surprised. This was indeed a mech designed specifically for combat. In order to pursue high mobility, the designer had weakened the mech's self-protection capabilities. With such a thin pilot cabin, Ye Chong doubted the mech's chances of survival on the battlefield. In order to maximize damage, the mech's weapons were very different from the average close combat mech. Instead of alloy swords, they were blades. Two long blades made of special metals with a strange curve. There were no shields, no protective measures. This was a mech designed solely for combat. There were a few hidden devices on the mech. Ye Chong would have to study them carefully to figure out their purpose. However, it was obvious that they were not for good.
Ye Chong thought of another problem when he saw D-6.
What would be the fate of the students? They would still end up on the battlefield. Ye Chong did not feel sad, but for some reason, his heart felt heavy. This mech model was a little extreme, but it was still an excellent mech. However, it was actually not suitable for beginners to use. It required a high level of technique, and also required the user to have a wealth of experience. Otherwise, not only would it be difficult to unleash its full potential, the mech pilot casualty rate would be terrifying. Ye Chong did not believe that the Research Consortium had not thought of this problem. If they still chose this mech, it could only mean one thing - the frontline was in dire need of close combat forces.
Ye Chong shook his head and pushed these irrelevant thoughts to the back of his mind. This was not something he could decide. Ye Chong looked at the eager students around him and left the storeroom. "One for each of you. Take your pick. Xi Qing will take care of it."
He walked alone on the empty training ground. The usually bustling training ground was deserted. The students were probably playing with the D-6 that they had just received. Ye Chong sat on the ground and looked up at the sky, lost in thought.
Xi Qing touched the brand new D-6 in excitement. From today onwards, this mech would be his. Xi Qing did not come from a wealthy family. His current mech was bought by his uncle for his birthday five years ago. He had always wanted a new mech. He had trained hard since he was young. He was also smart. While his mech was not the best, his skills were better than most of his peers.
His motivation for joining the training was simple - the Research Consortium offered him generous rewards. Children from poor families did not have much choice. The Research Consortium offered generous benefits, and it was every poor child's dream to be able to work in the Research Consortium. However, the Research Consortium's recruitment criteria had always been very stringent. Normally, they would not even think about it.
Xi Qing was overjoyed that they had recruited students this time. Although his strength was nothing compared to an adult, he was still outstanding among his peers. As expected, he passed the assessment. Once he completed the training and passed the final assessment, he would be able to work in the Research Consortium. He was a smart man, and knew why the Research Consortium was recruiting students. Their final fate was probably to go to the battlefield!
This was a dangerous path, but a young man would not want to live a life of mediocrity!
No matter what dangers lay ahead, Xi Qing felt that it was all worth it. His infatuated gaze could not tear away from the mech. D-6 stood there quietly, but the dangerous killing intent it exuded was suffocating. Xi Qing had fallen in love with it the moment he saw it.
While he did not have enough money to buy a mech, Xi Qing was familiar with the mech market. He knew what the D-6 was. The Research Consortium was indeed rich, even using a D-6 mech for their students. The Research Consortium produced a wide variety of mechs, but they did not use all of them. For example, the D-6 was used by the Consortium for their own military. The D-6 was a powerful mech. While it was not infamous, it was highly recommended by many experienced mech pilots. On the black market, a D-6 could be sold for an exorbitant price. However, he knew what the D in D-6 meant. It represented death, and death did not only refer to enemies.
"Everyone, gather at the training ground in your mechs. Within three minutes! "The instructor's stern voice came through the comms.
Everyone snapped out of their daze and scrambled towards the cockpit of the D-6.
The 20 D-6 mechs were lined up in four rows, looking impressive. However, to an experienced fighter like Ye Chong, they were full of openings. In front of the D-6 formation, a clumsy mech was facing them.
"From today onwards, you will be divided into four groups. Hmm, just like how you are now. Other than your daily physical training, I will teach you how to use the mechs you have, "Ye Chong said in a low voice.
The students were overjoyed. The physical training these days had been boring. Now that they heard that mech training was about to begin, their eyes lit up.
Boom! A loud crash interrupted Ye Chong's words.
The wall behind Ye Chong suddenly exploded, sending dust everywhere.
Everyone was shocked. One of the sharp-eyed students shouted, "Instructor, behind you!"
A dusty mech flew towards the instructor. It happened so suddenly that no one could react in time.
Ye Chong was more experienced than the students. He heard the crash and looked at the holographic screen. Muscle Man was only an experimental mech, but its designer was no ordinary person. The mech was equipped with an excellent holographic scanning system. It must be a high-end mech from the Research Consortium.
Ye Chong immediately knew that a mech was coming towards him.
It was a D-6. From the way it flew in the air, it looked like the mech had lost control, and was not being attacked. However, being hit by a mech at high speed was not a pleasant thing to do. It could be life-threatening.
He had two choices now. One was to dodge, which he could easily do. However, this way, the mech would crash right into the students in front of it with a single glance. The students had just received their mechs, and were unfamiliar with them. Some of them might get hurt.
Ye Chong immediately rejected the idea. There was only one other option left for him.
Muscle Man made a half circle with its right leg, and turned towards the charging mech. Its muscular right leg stepped into the soil, and the mech's mechanical structure sank slightly. It lowered its body into a horse stance, and bent its right and left arms, one above and one below, in front of its body. Its two large palms were facing outwards.
The students were shocked by this sudden turn of events.
Inside the pilot cabin, Ye Chong looked at the holographic screen expressionlessly. His hands on the control panel moved up and down rhythmically.
Now's the time!
Ye Chong's eyes glowed brightly. His hands slid across the control panel like a puff of smoke.
Bang!
The D-6 that had lost control crashed into Meng Nan's mechanical palm, and it looked like an accident was about to happen.
D-6 crashed into Muscle Man's right mechanical palm first. The huge impact forced Muscle Man's right mechanical palm inwards. Just as the two mechs were about to collide, Muscle Man's left mechanical palm landed on the bottom of D-6.
The engines on both arms roared to life, and the two thick mechanical legs on the ground exerted force at the same time. How could the soft soil withstand such tremendous force? Soil splashed everywhere, and the two mechanical legs sank half a meter deep into the soil.
The D-6 mech was stopped in its tracks, and a strong force came from the bottom. The mech pilot in the mech found himself rising up, and could not help but scream in surprise. D-6 flew diagonally towards the sky behind Muscle Man.
A mech was approaching! Ye Chong, in the pilot cabin, was shocked. The holographic scanning system had detected a mech approaching him at high speed.
What a fast speed! Ye Chong narrowed his eyes. He could already see the mech. The mech was moving too fast, and he could only see the general shape of a red mech. Ambush?
Muscle Man's legs retracted slightly, and its arms went into a fighting stance. From afar, it looked like a mechanical leopard, ready to strike the enemy.
