Chapter 134 Mecha Practice Lesson 1

At the end of the stalemate, the desserts and cakes that the four of them bought were each divided into four small pieces.

Share with each other, live in harmony and friendship.

When we left, everyone's expressions were not very good.

Even Tong Wanwan, who loves sweets, felt too full after eating the other three cakes.

It's neither right to sit nor right to stand.

In order to relieve her fullness, she went to the place where she would have classes in the afternoon in advance - a very large sports field, and walked around there.

"Are you sleepy, Wanwan?" 1551 waited until she finished her walk before speaking. "There's a rest room at the stadium, so you can take a short break."

Because the First Federal Military Academy had a relatively dense and heavy curriculum, many places had rest rooms for students to take a break. This was especially true in places like training grounds, sports fields, and competition halls, where rest rooms were countless.

Although it is not as good as the dormitory environment in school, it is still a good place to take a break.

"Then Yiyi, remember to wake me up in advance."

[Okay~]

In addition to being a piggy bank, a small supermarket, and a cute chat companion, 1551 has another identity - a small alarm clock.

The afternoon class is a practical class on the application of mental power.

There are many types of mental power applications, and the afternoon practical class is based on the preliminary testing of the mental power threshold, and then carries out the course content that most students are looking forward to the most - "Mecha Practice".

The mental strength threshold is a necessary condition for determining whether one can drive a mecha.

Of course, those who successfully enrolled in the Federal Military Academy all had a mental strength level of C or above, so there was no possibility of not being able to pilot a mecha. However, everyone's mental strength threshold, or critical value, was different.

Generally speaking, the threshold level tends to be directly proportional to the level of mental strength, but individual cases are not ruled out.

In these individual cases, it is possible that the mental power threshold is very high but the threshold is very low, so low that the mecha can only be driven for a few minutes; it is also possible that the threshold is unstable, with the value sometimes high and sometimes low, resulting in abnormal conditions such as "mecha failure" and "operational error" during the use of the mecha.

Therefore, for safety reasons, students must undergo a mental strength threshold test before each mecha practical class.

The threshold detectors used in military academies for class courses are not as accurate as those in medical centers. The school's detectors only provide preliminary assessments of four results: "normal," "high," "low," and "unstable."

The threshold assessment results for most students will be "normal", for students with excellent abilities it will be "high", and for those with "low" and "unstable" results, more attention needs to be paid and additional testing is required to decide whether these students can participate in the mecha practice class.

The assessment results were similar to what the psychic instructor had expected; the psychic powers of all members in Class A1 were “high”.

The practical mechas equipped for students are all unified and most common primary mechas.

"Classmates, come here."

The spiritual instructor of Class A1 is a serious female teacher with a stern expression.

"To save time, let me do some statistics first," she asked quickly, "How many of you here have never experienced the basics of mecha operation?"

What this means is - how many people in Class A1 have never driven a mecha, never learned how to operate it, and never experienced immersive mecha interaction?

In the First Federal Military Academy, no matter whether a student's mental power is in the attack, defense, auxiliary or healing department, the courses they study are unified before they are promoted to the third-level military academy students.

In other words, no matter what your future life plans are or whether you plan to join the legion to serve the Federation, you still have to learn the knowledge of mecha operation.

Mecha...

Tong Wanwan's eyes were blank as she thought about it.

She seemed to have only practiced a few times according to the instructions in the holographic game "Town".

As for whether the mecha operation in the game is different from that in reality, she still doesn't know.

Thinking of this, she honestly raised her hand in front of her tutor.

Only later did she realize that she was the only one in the class who had never driven a mecha in real life.

The instructor's gaze turned to her and after a pause, he remembered that there was a new student in Class A1.

She flipped through the student list and said, "The rest of the students, please board the mecha in order of your student numbers and practice on your own for fifteen minutes."

"Tong Wanwan, come in with me and I'll show you how to operate it."

"Okay! Thank you, teacher."

The boys were clearly more excited than ever about the mecha. A few minutes later, someone was already controlling the mecha, making it walk, jump, and run across the vast field.

Compared to the boys who were naturally drawn to mechas, one-third of the girls in Class A1 were less interested. "Mecha Practice" was just another class among many others for them.

"Let me demonstrate the startup process first, watch carefully." said the instructor.

There is only one driving seat in the mecha operating cabin, surrounded by silver-white metal walls.

"After you sit down, the blue virtual frame that lights up on the console is the program for synchronizing your mental power and connecting your brain neurons."

"Look." The instructor first pressed the picture frame casually, then quickly moved it away.

The control cabin, which hadn't yet fully connected, issued a system reminder, and the blue virtual frame turned red. "Mech 233 initialization program started. No pilot detected. Please reconnect."

"The connection program has a 'progress bar', and you need to press and hold it for at least 3-5 seconds." After saying that, the instructor placed his palm on it again, with his palm touching the frame.

Three seconds later, the cold, mechanical system sound echoed again. Simultaneously, the translucent console in front of the driver's seat solidified, and the display screen that allowed a view of the outside world lit up.

"Spiritual power synchronization progress 50%... 70%... 95%, synchronization successful."

Finally, the Mentor's mental power synchronization with the primary mecha stopped at 95%. This data also shows that the Mentor's mental power threshold is very high.

"Once you unlock the mech, you can control its movement."

The operating console is divided into two modes, one is manual operation, and the other is to directly control the actions of the mecha core through mental power.

Compared to the latter, manual operation, while cumbersome, requires less mental energy and has a longer "endurance." While mental operation... while more convenient and capable of fully utilizing the mecha's capabilities, the average person's ability to maintain it is very short, and it's easy to sustain mental damage during mecha combat.

If you are not a psychic above S level, you will not easily try the second method of operation.

After explaining the operation method, the instructor began to demonstrate the mecha actions such as "moving", "jumping", "flipping", and "running" one by one.
