Chapter 154
Chapter 154
As soon as Ying Chenlin's lottery result came out, the entire KID conference room became depressed.
Even Gu Xiaotian, who originally wanted to come in to report on the online store sales, cautiously closed the door and left, not daring to disturb them at all.
"Not really. Although the Black Crows are a strong enemy, we still have a chance of winning." Huo Yan saw Jiang Simiao nervously searching the data board. "There are two former top four teams, but we just need to rank at the top."
Ji Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Oh, that's right. In the two groups of 16 to 8, we just need to stay in the top four."
Jiang Simiao turned around and said, "What do you mean by two groups? Do you think this year's competition system is the same as last year's?"
KID Everyone: “?”
Ying Chenlin looked at Jiang Simiao: "Isn't it? I remember Qiujin was in two groups last year?"
Jiang Simiao took out several data tablets from the cabinet next to the conference room, put them on the table and said earnestly: "The elimination round is the same as the top 32, which is to let us adapt to the new competition system, but don't forget that Chairman Li fought for more than a year of suspension for Shuguang. Not only did it give us enough time to prepare, but the alliance also set up an inspection team to go to other star systems to learn from them."
The Dawn Galaxy has been lagging behind for too many years, and finally there is a suspension period to provide a buffer. How could the Mecha Alliance just let the mecha bases figure things out on their own? The entire working group of the Dawn Mecha Alliance was almost busy during this period of suspension. They did not completely give up on preparations and introduced medical mechas as a new competition system. At the same time, they also made new changes to the promotion competition.
In the past, team competitions used large-scale contaminated areas. After the black hole incident, the alliance made new changes to the control of the contaminated area competition system.
Stages like the knockout round and the round of 32 only provide buffer time for all mecha masters, but in this year's competition, some special competition systems will be used starting from the round of 16.
"Chairman Li has mobilized almost all the resources in the polluted areas. This year's 16-to-8 competition has four groups, and the small polluted areas have been selected." Jiang Simiao glanced at everyone, "Do I have to be so nervous if there are two groups? It's divided into four groups, which means that each group will only have two qualifying spots."
In the past, the 16-to-8 matches were divided into two groups, A and B. As long as they could stay in the top four, they could advance to the quarterfinals.
Now they are divided into four groups, ABCD, and they have to compete with BZZL1 and Black Crow for the first two places.
Jiang Simiao finished: "And the contaminated area this time is the Ke Cemetery Cave."
When they heard about the Science Cemetery Cave, KID and several mecha technicians were a little confused. They had never heard of this contaminated area.
However, Ying Chenlin paused slightly when he heard the word "pollution zone". This was a competition-level pollution zone for the individual soldier group, one of the small and medium-sized pollution zones. There are many mechas in team battles. The Dawn Mecha Alliance usually provides large-scale contaminated areas for team battles and small and medium-sized contaminated areas for individual battles.
“Shen Lin should have heard of it, right?” Jiang Simiao sighed, “The Ke Cemetery Cave used to be a competition-level contaminated area for the single-soldier group.”
“I haven’t been there.”
Ying Chenlin had heard of the Scientific Cemetery Cave. He had never been to this contaminated area, but he had heard many soldiers discuss the difficulties of the Scientific Cemetery Cave.
No wonder the Mecha Alliance has to be divided into 4 groups for the competition. This is equivalent to having only 4 teams in a contaminated area, and only small contaminated areas can be used.
The Ke Cemetery Cave is the polluted area with the most complex terrain among the small and medium-sized polluted areas.
"You haven't been there, and even more people in the team battle haven't been there." Jiang Simiao said, "In the past, we could exclude the competition venues from the official list of competition-level contaminated areas and formulate strategies in advance, but this time the Dawn Alliance did this, which is equivalent to putting an unfamiliar contaminated area in front of all the team battle mecha divisions."
-*
Time flies, and 10 days are gone in the blink of an eye.
All the mechas in the mecha base have been repaired and the second round of the promotion competition is about to begin.
Every year when the Dawn Mecha League reaches the promotion stage, it will attract a large number of spectators, especially this year's new competition system. Ever since the knockout stage caused a hot effect, the attention to each game has been getting higher and higher.
After the round of 32, the round of 16 will follow.
The first group to start the competition is Group A in this grouping.
The four teams in Group A are Black Crow, BZZL1, Giant Bear and KID.
[This group is simply the Shura group.] 】
[Two semi-finals, one quarter-finals, and one almost quarter-finals. 】
At the promotion match, there were corresponding rest areas provided for each mecha underground, and the audience seats were crowded. The location of the Kemu planet was in the central part of the Dawn Galaxy and it was also the intersection of interstellar routes. It could be said to be a prosperous area of the Dawn Galaxy.
Therefore, the venue of this competition-level pollution zone appears to be particularly luxurious, and even the sign outside the venue is inlaid with gold-rimmed diamonds.
KID Mecha Master hesitated for a while when entering the venue. Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng insisted on taking a photo in front of the venue sign, and after taking the photo, they even dragged their teammates to take a photo together.
Ji Qingfeng: "When our base has money in the future, we will also build something like this."
Lin Yao: "Then we might as well put a gold border on our mecha!"
Jiang Simiao: "...are you thinking about squandering your money when you don't even have any money yet?"
All the photos were handed over to Shen Xingtang for safekeeping. Shen Xingtang picked out one that was pretty good and asked Gu Xiaotian to post it on the official Weibo.
[@KID Robot Base: Science Cemetery Cave [love] [expectation] [photo]]
Since the elimination round, more and more people have been squatting under KID's official blog. They have given up hope on KID's business frequency, but the key point is that they did not expect that there would be an organic base to arrange the business photos to have the atmosphere of simple travel photos, with six people standing in front and behind, as if the official announcement photo had a different background.
[These people are standing in similar positions. If it weren’t for the gold medal at the venue, I would almost think you were photoshopping. 】
[Is it my illusion?] Why do I feel that Sink and Yao are shorter than in the previous photo? 】
[The short ones are shorter, the tall ones are taller, this photography technique is unmatched. 】
There were so many people paying attention to this game that when the four participating mecha bases entered the venue, there were almost huge crowds of people cheering outside.
Whether at the scene or in the Star Network live broadcast room, there are cheering signs belonging to each team everywhere. KID’s fans just finished reading the official blog on Starnet and immediately rushed to the venue on Kemu Planet. Now, Black Crow’s fans basically cover half the sky. The live broadcast rooms of various branches are basically filled with Black Crow’s special black light board with a white background, and a black crow flashing in the middle. In addition, there are the second most popular BZZL1 and Giant Bear. □
[Every time I see the Black Crow sign, I always feel like I've entered the wrong venue. 】
The commentators from the major live broadcast rooms were doing the pre-match commentary. They glanced at each light board and stayed on KID's light board the longest. The support for the mecha master was relatively normal, but what was difficult to understand were the ordering light signs, such as the ore from the Kemu planet, the mole pollutant energy crystals from the underground cave... Fortunately, the audience came to watch the game, otherwise they would have thought it was a large online store taking orders for new products.
Soon, various mecha divisions entered the scene and entered the preparation area one after another.
KID's maintenance engineer is still Grandpa Gu. Before entering the venue, Ying Chenlin said a few words to Grandpa Gu, and was finally urged by the venue staff to rush towards the jump area.
【The number of KIDs is slightly higher than last year. 】
[The maintenance engineer for the top 32 competition was still Boss Shen, but now he has been replaced by an old man. 】
[I am very curious about how much salary KID pays the old man. 】
[Sink only earned 8,000 star coins when he was a maintenance technician. It can’t be more than 8,000 star coins…]
[So 8,000 Star Coins has become the standard for KID? 】
When it comes to salary, the sin□□ fans in the live broadcast room feel complicated.
They knew KID was poor, but when they dug up KID's past competitions and found out that when Sink first came to KID as a maintenance technician, his monthly salary was 8,000 star coins, they felt a little embarrassed. Sink was the overlord of the individual group, but after retiring he went to KID to work as a rookie maintenance technician and only earned 8,000 star coins! ?
A dual-talent of mecha driving and mecha maintenance is only worth 8,000! ? How can KID boss sign the contract!
Some fans were unwilling to believe it, but it turned out that KID's recruitment notice was so easy to find that they could find a recruitment notice from more than a year ago. I can only console myself by watching the end that KID signed a mecha master contract, so why would they change the cooperation contract...
Just 8,000 star coins! ? How could KID deserve this!
Thinking of this, fans couldn't help but look at the boy following KID's tall mecha master in the venue.
He was wearing a fitted coat and a hat, and was standing in front of the staff checking in to enter the jump zone.
"What did you say to Grandpa Gu?" Huo Yan asked when he saw him running in a hurry.
Ying Chenlin said it was nothing, but his eyes paused slightly when he looked at the various jump coordinates listed in the jump zone. Why did he feel that something was wrong with this game since he entered the field?
While he was observing, the mecha warriors from the four surrounding teams that had already completed registration were also looking up at the situation above.
Huo Yan said: "Did you notice anything wrong? This competition area is a bit strange compared to the competition areas we played in the past."
You Su stood in front of the jump zone and when he looked to the side, he noticed the Black Crow team wearing black uniforms.
The leading mecha master has walked towards the staff and seemed to have asked for a new copy of the on-site information of the Ke Cemetery Cave. "It seems that many people have noticed something is wrong."
Seeing this, Huo Yan also ran over and asked the staff for detailed information.
Ji Qingfeng asked, "Didn't they say that the top 16 might have a more difficult competition system?"
Lin Yao: "But no matter how the competition system changes, the polluted area is still the polluted area."
Lu Xi looked into the distance and found that there seemed to be more staff on the scene than before. "Are those the mecha masters of the rescue team? There seem to be more of them."
Ji Qingfeng: “……?”
Ying Chenlin's observation did not stop until he entered
When he entered the cockpit, he was still reading the environmental information about the scientific cemetery cave that Huo Yan brought back.
Just by looking at it, he suddenly found that the information about the contaminated area of the scientific cemetery cave provided on site was much more detailed than the information they had collected on the Internet before.
The Science Cemetery Cave is a completely unfamiliar contaminated area for all mecha masters. Even though there are video footage of individual combat on the Star Network for reference, it is just a reference. For mecha masters, the environment of the contaminated area changes every year due to the previous competition. The value of the video for reference is only 60%. The rest depends on the mecha masters to explore the contaminated area on their own after entering it.
While the teams in the jump zone were hesitating, other mecha bases outside the field also locked onto the Science Cemetery Cave.
Dawn has restructured the new season and also specially changed the competition rules. What is the big move that the Mecha Alliance has been holding back for so long?
The commentators entered the various live broadcast rooms, "Dear viewers, the game in the Science Cemetery Contaminated Zone is about to begin."
As the game preparations began, the competition area information of the Science Cemetery Cave Contaminated Zone popped up in all live broadcast rooms.
The Ke Cemetery Cave is an underground contaminated area covered with special magnetic fields. It is mainly located on the planet Kemu in the central part of the Dawn Galaxy. The planet Kemu is in an environment of magnetic field interference and disorder all year round. Due to the particularity of the magnetic field, it has been used as an experimental testing site by many institutions and enterprises in the Dawn Galaxy for many years. Nowadays, many anti-interference and magnetic field equipment in the Dawn Galaxy are tested on the planet Kemu.
The surface environment of that planet is extremely difficult to walk on, but beneath the surface rocks and minerals there is a special underground world - the Science Cemetery Cave.
The cave is covered with hard minerals that are rare in the Star Alliance, forming a special and wide cave world. This special environment and topography have made the planet Kemu attract the attention of many galaxies and become a hotbed for many scientific and technological research in the Dawn Galaxy. Therefore, many human research base stations have been built underground on the planet Kemu.
The special environment can withstand the vibrations and damage caused by mecha battles. In order to regularly clear the pollutants underground, the Dawn Alliance has also designated this polluted area as one of the competition-level polluted areas that requires special treatment.
The pollution value of this pollution area fluctuates between 4000-5500, which belongs to the 3-4 level marginal pollution area. Common pollutants all start from level A.
The Science Cemetery Cave is a completely unfamiliar contaminated area for the Team Battle Mecha League. As the commentator introduced the main overview of the Science Cemetery Cave, the live broadcast room's field of view suddenly cut into the contaminated area of the Science Cemetery Cave, and all the viewers saw a deep underground world.
There are various materials deposited on the natural cave ceiling, and special rock mines with strange shapes form different stalagmites and stone pillars. The width from the top to the bottom of the cave can reach thousands of meters. The scope of the cave is wide and can accommodate mechas to move freely inside the cave.
Just as the audience was marveling at the unique topography of the contaminated area, everyone was stunned when a mecha appeared in the contaminated area!
The commentary stopped midway through the atmosphere: "——What is this!?"
Outside the court, Jiang Simiao, who had finally sat down to rest, hadn't even swallowed half a mouthful of water before he spat it out the next second: "What is the alliance doing!?"
[Welcome to the [Science Cemetery Cave] contaminated area, group promotion match [16-8] Group A, Mecha Team 4/4, Mecha 24/24 have been loaded]
[The game mode is [Maze Survival (Speed Race)], the rule book has been synchronized to the game system, please read it carefully]
When Ying Chenlin's vision changed, he saw a completely dark environment in front of him and heard the sound of dripping water.
He turned on the mecha's searchlight, but the light seemed to be completely swallowed up by the darkness, illuminating only the black water in the distance and the ugly cave walls.
Vast, silent and bottomless.
The most important thing is that there are no mechas within sight.
He had no teammates around him.
The communication channel crackled and the teammates' voices appeared in the communication channel.
"Hello?" Ji Qingfeng: "What the hell is this dark place? Is there such a place in the Science Cemetery?"
Lin Yao had just taken a few steps when he bumped into the cave wall, bewildered: "Ah? Where are all of you?"
The author has something to say:
