Sixiang Mecha Company, new machine testing department.

In the training ground, a brand new mecha was moving around under the control of a mecha pilot. Its sturdy limbs and heavy body made banging sounds as it walked. The ground vibrations caused by its footsteps also changed people's heart rhythm.

This mecha was the one that had just been produced and would be named the Super Tiger in later generations, codenamed K223 by Skynet.

Lin Tao and others stood at the entrance of the training ground, looking at the aircraft from a distance.

Woo~ Eight small engines started at the same time, making a roaring sound and forming a gust of wind. With the instantaneous force, K223, under the operation of the mecha pilot, jumped up with all four limbs at the same time. In a flash, the speed exceeded 100km/s. The huge body glided in the air for a long distance like a glider.

Just as the aircraft was about to land, the eight small engines quickly made slight adjustments, and K223 suddenly dropped rapidly. The weight hidden under the heavy body, supported by its sturdy limbs, fell to the ground with a bang.

The violent landing caused the ground to shake, like an earthquake, and the dust on the ground flew up, spreading out like rolling waves with the landing point of the aircraft as the center.

Before everyone could see clearly, K223, under the control of the mecha pilot, took advantage of the momentum and leaped up again. At the same time, the eight small engines made adjustments, and with a loud bang, the body burst into super high speed again.

There was no need for a speedometer, as everyone could feel that the speed of the machine had instantly exceeded 200km/s.

After gliding in the air for a distance at this speed, K223 turned sideways and quickly slid to the entrance of the training ground.

After landing again, the aircraft slid on the ground for a distance and finally stopped.

The hatch opened and a burly man in military uniform quickly flew out of the cockpit, breathing heavily.

Seeing this, Lin Tao led everyone forward.

"I never thought that Major Hong would be able to master this K223 so quickly." Lin Tao said with a smile.

"Huff, huff, huff~" The sturdy man in military uniform was covered in sweat. After taking a few deep breaths, his breathing became smoother. After slowly exhaling the foul air, he walked towards Lin Tao and the others, shaking his head slightly, "I never thought that these small engines could be used for secondary acceleration."

After the eight small mechas were started at the same time, the speed of the bodies instantly exceeded 100km/s. And when they adjusted themselves by taking advantage of the inertia of landing, they were able to accelerate a second time, almost doubling the speed again to over 200km/s.

This is simply a new type of body movement.

When he was watching the battle between 'L' and 'Wuma Ji' on Skynet, he didn't quite believe that there was such a way to speed up.

As soon as I tried it, the original thought of denial was immediately thrown out of my mind.

"CEO Lin, the K223 developed by your Four Elephants Mecha Company can be said to be a new type of aircraft with innovative capabilities." Major Hong did not hesitate to express his admiration for this aircraft.

Lin Tao smiled modestly: "Major Hong, in fact, this secondary acceleration was just a hypothesis in the early stage of design. If it weren't for the battle of 'L', this acceleration method might not have been used."

"Oh?" Major Hong was slightly surprised. He looked back at the K223 and asked, "CEO Lin, when this machine was first designed, how did you foresee a top speed of 300km/s?"

Not everyone can adapt to this acceleration method that uses the inertia of jumping to accelerate like a new type of machine. After all, the instantaneous changes between landing and jumping have a huge impact on the mecha pilot, and even he almost couldn't catch his breath.

"Since Major Hong is from the military, he should know how the plane takes off, right?" Lin Tao asked back.

"This..." Major Hong blinked and understood in an instant.

"In fact, the secondary acceleration method like 'L' is more suitable for actual combat." Lin Tao smiled.

“Hahahaha~ CEO Lin is right.” Major Hong laughed loudly and nodded.

For an airplane to take off, it naturally needs to glide on the ground at high speed. However, the secondary acceleration caused by the inertia generated in this way is not very suitable for combat compared to the inertial acceleration of jumping.

"Unfortunately, it can never reach the maximum speed of 300km/s." Major Hong sighed and shook his head secretly. Recalling the battle in the Skynet video, he was shocked again: "I really don't know who this 'L' is? He can actually play such a trick."

Major Hong had high praise for 'L'.

At the side, Director Wei and Liang Zeyu, who were following Lin Tao, looked at each other and noticed that the other's eyes twitched from time to time. However, since Lin Tao refused to acknowledge the identity of 'L', they would not say it out loud immediately.

In particular, Director Wei from the business department understands what a highly capable mecha technician represents to a mecha company.

After the Sixiang Mecha Company produced the actual K223, they notified Skynet. As soon as the notification was made, people from the military department of Xingfu came to inspect.

This person is Major Hong Jingsheng in front of him.

Major Hong Jingsheng, also a mecha commander, arrived and asked for a real machine test after seeing the actual machine. He even forgot about the talk about time bombs on the Skynet BBS.

After some testing, he immediately realized the benefits of the small engine group.

What surprised Lin Tao was that, after entering the machine, Major Hong Jingsheng immediately performed the same jumping acceleration that 'L' had done.

This kind of body movement was classified as basic movement in later generations.

However, in this era, the movement of this machine has just appeared, and it needs to be coordinated with a machine with multiple small engines. In addition, it also requires the strong body of the mecha pilot.

In other words, Hong Jingsheng performed it on the spot just by watching the video. With this kind of reaction ability, he would be considered a talented senior mecha master in later generations.

It seems that sometimes we cannot underestimate the mecha pilots of this era. What they lack is not actual combat experience, but mechas that can perform corresponding body movements.

Lin Tao thought so in his heart.

After obtaining the approval of Major Hong Jingsheng, the data of K223 was returned to Skynet, which led to Skynet making changes, resulting in a series of changes in Skynet.

"CEO Lin, you have now made the actual machine. I wonder if this technology can be used to simulate a humanoid body?" As he left the training ground, Major Hong Jingsheng looked back at the actual K223 machine, as if he was still a little unsatisfied.

"In theory, it should be feasible." Lin Tao said.

"Major Hong, our Sixiang Mecha Company has only applied for the production of bionic-type mechas, and there are only four models. I'm afraid we can't do anything about humanoid mechas."

After Lin Tao finished speaking, Director Wei seemed to have thought of something and hurried to explain.

In this era, mechas are used in two aspects. The first is for combat, mainly for the military and space exploration teams. The second is for engineering purposes. The use of engineering mechas is much greater than that of engineering vehicles.

Moreover, due to the division between humanoid and bionic bodies, general mecha companies can only produce bionic bodies. The production of humanoid bodies, in addition to being approved by the Interstellar Federation, must also be approved by the military.

The Sixiang Mecha Company can only produce bionic type machines for combat or engineering purposes. As for humanoid machines, they are not within their scope of permission.

Hearing Director Wei's words, Major Hong Jingsheng was silent. After his eyes flickered a few times, he said, "The scale of your Four Elephants Mecha Company is too small. Otherwise, I can help you apply to the higher authorities for the production rights of humanoid mechas, but..."

At this point, he stopped, looked back at Lin Tao, and laughed: "If your Four Elephants Mecha Company can produce a second new type of machine, and the technology in it is also applicable to humanoid machines, perhaps I can help you apply for it."

According to the regulations of the Interstellar Federation, if the mecha technology produced by a mecha company is applicable to humanoid mechas, it will be given an exception by the Interstellar Federation and obtain the right to produce humanoid mechas.

Lin Tao frowned slightly, and his mind instantly recalled information from later generations. He soon found such a rule and laughed, "To be honest with Major Hong, some time ago my classmate Liu Zhengchen also mentioned that he wanted to apply for the production rights of humanoid mechas for our Sixiang Mecha Company."

"Liu Zhengchen?" Upon hearing this name, Major Hong Jingsheng was startled, then his face darkened and he snorted coldly: "Haha! Although Liu Zhengchen is from the Liu family, he is still a small character when compared with the Interstellar Federation. Don't take his words too seriously."

"CEO Lin, please remember that to apply for the production rights of humanoid robots, one must at least be the head of the Liu family." Hong Jingsheng didn't mind saying it loudly in front of everyone.

Lin Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

The rest of the people were all shocked and kept their mouths shut, not daring to say anything about it.

Although Mingyuan Star is still the territory of the Interstellar Federation, it has been placed under the management of the Liu family and is considered the Liu family's territory. Even though Liu Zhengchen is a small character, he is still a member of the Liu family.

Moreover, the Sixiang Mecha Company is also a mecha company belonging to the Liu family. If they discuss it publicly, it would be equivalent to offending the Liu family. If it is discovered later, they will be in big trouble.

Seeing the atmosphere was a little subtle, Jiang Jingsheng glanced at everyone and changed the topic: "The real K223 has been released. Although it was criticized by Skynet before, after the rumors were dispelled, it has also done a lot of publicity for the sales of the real machine. Now it is estimated that the entire Skynet mecha division has already known about this machine."

"CEO Lin, when do you plan to release the actual machine?" Jiang Jingsheng paused, then smiled and said, "I really hope the military can purchase a batch. I think we can develop a lot of new movements with this machine."

Lin Tao smiled. In fact, after this machine appeared, many people used it to develop a large number of machine movements, including the one that used the inertia of jumping to perform secondary acceleration, which was discovered shortly after this machine appeared.

However, because this action also has requirements for the mecha master himself, it was not widely publicized until the enhanced gene medicine appeared.
