Chapter 144: Intensity
The layout of the mecha simulation room at the Yuheng Military Base is similar to that of the starship simulation room, with only a simulated cockpit, devoid of actual mechas or starships. It looks similar to the cockpits of the virtual mechas, except that while the real mecha cockpits appear much larger, the cockpits are smaller.
The virtual mecha's setup doesn't take into account the constraints of real space, allowing for freer control. A real mecha's cabin has the control system and various buttons at the front, followed by a docking station. Once you step inside, the flowing metal from the mecha's interior forms an exoskeleton, fitting snugly around the pilot. Further back is the escape pod. Overall, it's a relatively small space, but perfectly adequate for one person.
Inside the simulation room, you can set the level of mecha to simulate and the intensity of the training. Generally speaking, students who come here are sensible and don't set the pressure simulation too high beyond their level. However, as a precaution, there are mechanisms to protect students. If a student's vital signs are detected to be declining or they are seriously overtrained, the simulation system in the simulation room will immediately stop.
Of the one hundred people who came today, only the S-rank ones started directly with the actual machine training, while the others went into the simulation room. By the time everyone had almost finished their training, Jin was still a little dizzy when he came out.
He had already come into contact with many starships before coming to Moye Military Academy, so he had no problem with interstellar jumps because he was already used to it. But mecha...
Jin was instinctively averse to mechas. He had seen them wielding blades several times around his father and brother. Perhaps it was due to his deep-seated inferiority complex about being a member of the royal family but not having an S-level mental strength. He brainwashed himself for a while, making himself believe that he didn't like mechas.
Therefore, he had never taken the initiative to come into contact with mechas before coming to Moye Military Academy. Today was also his first time using the simulation room. He adjusted himself to 80% of the A-level, but he didn't expect the mental pressure inside to be so strong. When he came out, he forced himself to stand firm, but found that the people next to him retched when they came out. They even set it to only 60% or 70% of the A-level.
Xu Xizhen's situation was similar to his, except that she was more obviously dizzy. She shouted that she wanted to find Xu Lingqu, but she was dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Jin reluctantly pulled her away and went to find Shen Shouli and Liu Zheng first.
In fact, today is not Shen Shouli's first actual machine training. He had been exposed to mechas early on in the Shen family, but those were only A-level. Today, the Yuheng Military Base directly gave him actual machine training on A+ mechas.
When Shen Shouli came down, he had a stern face. He didn't look tired or accomplished anything. On the contrary, Liu Zheng showed a very rare expression of being exhausted and not wanting to live anymore. It seems that the icy face can only be transferred, not contagious.
When they came out, Xu Lingqu was already waiting for them outside.
"Sister!" Xu Xizhen walked unsteadily until he finally reached Xu Lingqu's side and grabbed her shoulder. "Huh? Didn't you try the simulation room?"
"Yes, Commander, didn't you push yourself hard or something?" Jin agreed. Xu Lingqu always pushed herself hard during the trial training period, and she didn't slack off even after arriving at the military academy. It was because she was too busy playing in the league that she gave up physical training and stayed in the dormitory to rest, but she still often found time to go to the starship simulation room.
Xu Lingqu held Xu Xizhen's hand with his left hand and held Liu Zheng with his right hand. As they walked out, he replied, "I'm increasing my strength."
To be precise, it is Lumen's suggestion, S+ level mecha simulation, 80%.
As soon as Xu Lingqu stepped onto the connection platform, he felt overwhelming pressure coming from all directions. When the flowing metal was spread on his body in the Skynet virtual mecha, Xu Lingqu felt nothing, but this time he could clearly feel the pain coming from all over his limbs.
There was a force tearing at the neurons on the surface of her skin, causing every part of her body that was connected to the flowing metal of the mecha to feel a burning pain. But these were not the most unbearable things. The most terrifying thing was that her brain seemed to be hit by a hurricane, and her whole mind went into a state of madness, switching back and forth between countless extreme negative emotions.
Liu Ming observed Xu Lingqu's condition with a little nervousness.
This is the oppressive feeling that S+-class mechas bring to people. When these three were first developed, many S-class pilots died within ten seconds of standing on the connection platform...
The simulation it chose for Xu Lingqu was somewhat stressful and challenging for someone who had never formally encountered a real mecha. Back then, even a genius like Admiral Merlin of the Federation had spent a long time training with Chen Dao in mecha combat. Even someone as powerful as Galaxy had to adapt several times before he could stand on the Lumen dock for an extended period.
After Lumen connected to the simulation room system, it carefully observed the situation. If it detected any signs of trouble, it would help Xu Lingqu cut off the connection. However, until the end of the selected one-hour period, Xu Lingqu did not show any abnormal conditions.
Watching the flowing metal leaving her body, Liu Ming excitedly wanted to throw herself into Xu Lingqu's arms, but when she missed, she realized that she was not in a living body and had no way of contacting Xu Lingqu. At most, she could return to the ring.
Xu Lingqu half-crouched, one hand on the ground. Both her body and mind were in a state of intense pain. But she was able to remain calm and composed. It wasn't because she was particularly tolerant, but because she had memories of even worse pain, which made this time seem less unbearable.
The streets of Lake Arden, she is an evolved being born in the flames.
She paused for a moment before Liuming realized something was wrong. He returned to the ring and anxiously asked, "Lingqu, are you okay? I was wrong. The choice I gave you was too difficult!"
"It's okay." Xu Lingqu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up, and straightened his body. "That's it."
Liu Ming was stunned. "Ah? Really? This is your first time touching a real mecha. To last two hours in an 80% simulated S+ driving environment...none of the three of them could do that back then."
"I see. Well, actually, I was just being stubborn." Xu Lingqu blinked. "It hurts me so much. I thought it was my problem. Now that you say that, I feel relieved."
She always heard Liuming describe how Galaxy could drive it freely in the interstellar space. She felt so painful when she first came into contact with it. She thought that it was just like her lack of physical strength before because she was objectively too weak. Unexpectedly, according to Liuming, she seemed to be the strongest.

So the saying that a mecha suits its owner makes a lot of sense!
