Chapter 70



After the first game of the Imperial Research Institute Mecha Contest ended, the competitions in each sub-division officially started.

While the competition was going on fiercely, the discussion about the opening game in the military academy, major military groups and mecha forums had not stopped.

The unpopular White01 model achieved its first victory without any damage, which exceeded everyone's expectations. This almost invalidated the hundreds of prophecies on the mecha forum that the White Institute would end at the beginning. The few supporters who were more optimistic about the White Institute took screenshots and posted them on the Star Network to make fun of them.

The short video recording of the game leaked from the hands of the audience watching the live broadcast was also forwarded and played, which also made many citizens of the Empire who had never known mechas feel the shock brought by mecha battles for the first time.

Some people say that victory is everything. The performance of the White01 model proves that the research and development concept of the White Research Institute is feasible. The future battlefield does not rely entirely on the heavy firepower of heavy mechas.

Heavy mechas have extremely high physical requirements. Drivers who can drive freely are basically all alphas. The population of the empire is declining year by year. After all, the proportion of alphas is small, and betas are the majority. If the White01 model can really lower the driving threshold, it will undoubtedly provide a way for many people.

Some people still insist that heavy mechas are the mainstream of the empire, and mechas that win by cleverness cannot shake the position of absolute destructive mechas.

Most people still think that a victory alone does not mean anything. The one who wins in the end is the real strong one, and the final results are enough to explain everything.

But no matter how the three parties argue, Bai Li's superb driving ability, strong mental strength and extraordinary reaction ability in the game are indisputable facts.

Last year, the reply of the great god "Ming Da" in the military forum was dug up, and the statement that "after all, without such strength, it is impossible to hold a general-level military title in the First Legion" was dug up, but this time it was affirmed.

With many people watching, the competition in the main star area was in full swing. After the opening game, the main stage was divided into two areas to allow two groups to compete at the same time to avoid the game time being too long.

With the exciting start of the opening match, the following matches received continuous attention.

When Bai Li's name appeared on the holographic projection again, the speed at which the live broadcast robot's flashlight flickered reached a new peak. In

Bai Li's second match, his opponent was still a heavy mecha.

The map was relatively normal, and it was also a map that Bai Li and Lu Zhao often drew in simulated confrontations, an undeveloped wasteland covered with vines.

Bai Li's bad luck was as bad as before. As soon as the map was refreshed, he was hung upside down on the vines and almost fell headfirst and became dizzy.

The advantage of the heavy mecha was very obvious. No matter how the offensive vines entangled, relying on its own artillery suppression, it managed to blast out a range for standing.

The White01 model, which had abandoned some of its destructive weapons, was sentenced to death in the mecha forum almost the moment it was refreshed on this map.

Han Miao and Chen Nan in the audience had a heart attack, but Lu Zhao and Jiang Hao did not react much.

"You two can talk," Han Miao slapped his thigh, "You can analyze the playing style, but I'm the one who's really anxious, right?"

Jiang Hao was very calm: "Bai Li has ruined this map."

"Ah?" Chen Nan, who didn't drive a mecha, didn't quite understand and looked at Lu Zhao, "What do you mean?"

Lu Zhao crossed his arms and watched Bai Li on the holographic projection quickly shuttling between the twisting vines, and said calmly: "No one can beat Bai Li." After a pause, he added, "This is his home court."

As if to confirm Lu Zhao's words, for a period of time that followed, the white01 model, which had been under the suppression of heavy mecha fire, suddenly changed its style amid a burst of boos and directly attacked the opponent.

While the commentator asked in confusion, "Are you crazy?", a large net made of vines followed Bai Li closely, and was hooked by him and wrapped around the heavy mecha.

The driver in the heavy mecha panicked and immediately mobilized all available weapons to bombard the vines with all his strength. However, a single vine was easy to deal with, and the artificially mobilized vines collapsed like a mountain and sea, successfully consuming the energy of the heavy mecha.

In order to support the huge body and format weapons of the heavy mecha, sufficient energy support is also essential. The heavy mecha, which consumed too much energy on the vines, was like a large iron bear in front of Bai Li. In the subsequent fight, it was bombarded like a sieve by the small-caliber ion cannon carried by White01.

The second match took longer, but the white01 model finally won.

When the names of Baili and white01 flashed a blue light that was unique to the winner on the holographic projection, the audience regained some sense from their stunned state.

A few minutes later, the mecha forum exploded.

"What the hell is this! Is this a mecha battle or a puzzle game?"

"White01 won again? How did he win? I don't understand!"

"Can Bai Li fight head-on? Can he?"

Han Miao browsed the forum for a while and said with some emotion: "He really doesn't stop even after winning."

"In fact, the significance of this kind of competition is not that great for front-line combat," Jiang Hao said, "Space battles have their own way of fighting, and land battles have their own way of fighting. Different battlefields require different ways of dealing with them. Even if Bai Li drives a heavy mecha, he still fights like this."

But this is only the explanation of Jiang Hao, who is familiar with Bai Li, and there are doubts on the forum.

Chen Nan and others also discussed it very enthusiastically, and the audience seats were buzzing.

Lu Zhao, who had been silent until now, saw Bai Li off the main stage before he spoke: "Heavy mechas have a shortcoming that has never attracted attention, which is that they consume too much energy."

Several people who were close to him stopped discussing and looked at Lu Zhao.

"Strong firepower has always covered up this shortcoming, causing Imperial pilots to generally be accustomed to fighting fast battles," Lu Zhao took out his personal terminal, glanced at the mecha forum, raised his hand and clicked a like on a post that praised Major General Bai's power, and then continued, "Once the war is prolonged, it is easy to be unable to move due to excessive energy consumption. There are actually many such examples on the front line, but because there are supply ships following, most people don't care."

He said this and didn't continue.

Everyone around knew the ropes and quickly understood what Lu Zhao meant.

Bai Li himself was an elite who could operate the heavy mecha "Fly Shooter" and had a deep understanding of this type of mecha. He won because he took advantage of the terrain and vegetation, and because he was familiar with heavy mechas.

This was not a battle of wits, but a battle of experience.

The stars in the main arena rotated, and soon the next group of matches began.

Chen Nan tilted his head to look at Lu Zhao, and then looked at him again after a while.

"Hey, I found out," Chen Nan approached Lu Zhao and said, "this is the first time you have explained so much about one thing."

In the past, even when reporting on the war situation, Lu Zhao was always concise.

Lu Zhao was stunned, and Chen Nan teased, "Because of Bai Li?"

This question made Lu Zhao confused for a moment.

He didn't think so much, and he always said and did things according to his heart. He understood Bai Li, and in fact, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Bai Li could be understood by more people.

When you understand Bai Li, you will know that he is really a good person.

Lu Zhao tilted his head and thought for a while. Amid the shouts of the audience, Chen Nan heard his answer: "Yes."

It didn't take long for experienced veterans or front-line military personnel to give their analysis on the forum.

"I have to say that Bai Li is worthy of the title of Major General. He is from a noble family and knows the current situation of the Imperial Mecha too well."

"I am a little convinced. I am starting to think highly of White01, everyone!"

On the first day of the Imperial Research Institute Imperial Recruitment Competition, the competition was very popular.

After the unpopular White01 model silenced a considerable number of people with two victories, it ushered in the third battle of the day.

Compared with the heated discussions about the capabilities of the model itself, Situ and others were more worried about Bai Li's legs.

In the third battle, the opponent was still a heavy mecha.

After three consecutive heavy mecha confrontations, even other pilots were a little overwhelmed, not to mention Bai Li who had to concentrate his mental power throughout the whole process.

Although the white01 model has lowered the requirements for the body, it still has to bear a certain amount of pressure. After Bai Li finished the second game, which took a little longer, his knees were already slightly uncomfortable.

As soon as he got off the court, his assistant immediately began to massage his legs.

"Can you do it?" Situ asked in a low voice, "I have analgesics with me, otherwise..."

Bai Li shook his head.

Analgesics have certain side effects, which will definitely affect Bai Li's concentration.

"Stupid competition team," Situ started to curse again, "How can you arrange competitions like this? Three games in one afternoon, and every game is heavy armor!"

"Hand over a lightsaber to Teacher Si," Bai Li shouted to the people next to him, "Let him kill the idiots in the competition team."

Situ pushed Bai Li lightly.

"Our mecha is originally made for special people. If I can't do it, won't this mecha be useless?" Bai Li said patiently.

Situ sighed, feeling a little frustrated. He sat beside Bai Li and looked at the scar on Bai Li's leg.

Inside and outside the stadium, everyone was talking about the victory of the white01 model. Everyone almost forgot why Bai Li had been silent for many years.

Bai Li knew that Situ felt bad. Good brothers are really good brothers. No matter how much they usually spray each other, they can't bear to see such a scar.

"I don't want to let the substitute in, one is because I really want to play in the competition, and the other is because the substitute is healthy and has an A." Bai Li patted his legs, "No one can drive White01 better than me, because no one is more suitable to be a golden signboard than me."

Only by letting special people drive this mecha to win the final victory can it be the most convincing.

Bai Li's severely injured legs will make this mecha developed for special people successful.

Situ turned his head away and said nothing.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, Teacher Si." Bai Li patted him, "Why are you ignoring me!"

Situ turned his head back, his eyes were a little red, and he shouted hoarsely: "I know it!"

Bai Li yelled and was stunned, and he picked his ears for a long time.

After a short rest, Bai Li picked up the helmet again.

"If you really feel uncomfortable, just call a halt." Teacher Si muttered, and took other researchers to check the data again.

"Can you stop telling me this all the time?" Bai Li was helpless, and moved his left leg twice. The massaged leg felt a little relieved, and it didn't hurt. He just felt a little sleepy and weak. "But I really can't play a time-consuming game like the second one. I really can't outlast these heavy mechas."

Teacher Si frowned and was worried.

"Quick battle, let Major General Bai blow up the whole place." Bai Li put on his helmet and glanced at the clock in the rest area. "I have to eat in time."

The game was announced to start, and the drivers walked onto the main stage.

The white01 model, which had already slapped the forum prophecy twice, was undoubtedly the focus of attention in the main star zone on the first day of the competition. Bai Li walked onto the main stage amidst the lights and cheers, and crossed his left and right index fingers in front of everyone, making an "X".

Without waiting for the commentator to understand what he meant, he said hello to his opponent and went into the simulation room.

Han Miao and Chen Nan in the audience showed puzzled expressions, but Lu Zhao and Jiang Hao, because they had played many simulation matches with Bai Li and had been together for a long time, more or less guessed the meaning of this gesture.

"Can't he be more restrained?" Jiang Hao was helpless, "Does he have to be so eye-catching and hateful?"

Lu Zhao watched Bai Li walk into the simulation room without answering.

Bai Li would feel uncomfortable if he didn't attract attention, and he would be unhappy if he didn't attract hatred.

This grandson has always enjoyed the feeling of being hated by others, but having to admit defeat.

Soon, everyone understood what the "X" meant.

Really soon.

The opponent in the second game was still a heavy mecha, which has always been the focus of the previous collection competitions.

The map is a barren planet covered by a dirty sea with extremely low visibility. The dirty sea is a general term for oceans of unknown properties on undeveloped planets.

Bai Li's refresh point is still very "unlucky", and he refreshed into the chaos 20 meters under the sea, while the opponent occupied a warship wreckage exposed above the sea level. Bai Li fired a laser cannon as soon as he showed his head.

This method of squatting and shooting rabbits is quite insulting. Bai Li was trapped underwater in the chaos for half a minute before he figured out the situation. This time, the opponent was equipped with a laser cannon for long-range bombing, and Bai Li was almost penetrated even though he was at a distance.

Most mechas are used for space and land battles, and there are not many weapons for underwater combat, not to mention the white01 model that gave up some destructive power for the sake of sensitivity.

Being trapped in the chaotic sea for too long is not a good thing for Bai Li.

Just when the audience was feeling disgusted by this kind of head-on combat method, a black shadow quickly emerged from the water and hit the heavy mecha in the face.

The driver of the heavy mecha this time was obviously not as experienced as Gao Haizu in the previous game. In addition to the pressure brought by Bai Li's strength in the opening game, the detector sounded, and the nervous driver raised his hand and fired a light cannon without seeing what it was.

A burst of light burst out when the black shadow and the light cannon collided, but there was no indication of any damage to the body.

Then, under the water surface closest to the heavy mecha, Bai Li's mecha stepped on the wreckage of the warship to gain momentum and left the water surface at an astonishing speed. As soon as the shoulder entered the air, the white01 model's most lethal medium-caliber ion cannon mounted on the shoulder fired out, sweeping across the cockpit embedded in the belly of the heavy mecha from bottom to top.

"The cockpit is seriously damaged!" This series of actions was so fast and fierce that the commentator finally caught up with the progress after a few seconds. "Bai Li used the handle of the lightsaber thrown out of the water as bait, accelerating underwater to approach the opponent - it seems that the time interval between the detector discovering the bait and white01 itself was too short, and the opponent

's driver did not distinguish the key points!" The disadvantage of heavy mechas is that their reactions are a bit stiff. The huge fuselage makes them lose some of their flexibility. After an attack, there will be a short reaction period of a few tenths of a second, and the white01 model takes advantage of this short reaction period to give the opponent a fatal blow.

Bai Li's fuselage completely left the water, but he did not stand up straight, thus avoiding the heavy mecha's ion cannon. He pulled out his second lightsaber and cut across the connection between the heavy mecha's legs.

The heavy mecha tilted, and before it could stand firm, Bai Li's lightsaber raised up, creating a string of sparks on the surface of the fuselage, and directly inserted into the cockpit.

The commentator exclaimed: "I believe that the driver Bai Li's fighting skills must be excellent. He has brought out the advantages of the white01 model to the extreme, and the white01 model has also made him such a driver!"

On the holographic projection, the white01 model flew up and stomped on the already stabbed cockpit. The heavy mecha, which was already unstable due to a leg injury, leaned back, and the light cannon was off target, missing the opportunity.

The small-caliber ion cannon mounted on white01's hand fired several bursts, bombarding the heavy mecha's more vulnerable belly cockpit at close range.

The ruthless method and crisp judgment left the commentator and the audience with only sighs and tremors.

Amid a burst of explosions, the names of the heavy mecha and its driver on the holographic projection turned gray, and the names of the white01 model and Bai Li flashed a blue light.

"——The game is over, the winner is: white01 model and driver Bai Li!"

Amid applause, the door of the simulation warehouse popped open, Bai Li took off his helmet and walked down, once again making an "X" sign.

On the holographic projection, a series of statistical data were also displayed one by one. As Bai Li made gestures, the battle time was also refreshed.

The game time was 9 minutes and 28 seconds.

This is the shortest game from the start to now.

In the audience, Chen Nan heard Lu Zhao beside him say lightly: "Ten minutes."

"Huh?" Chen Nan turned around.

Lu Zhao imitated Bai Li and made an "X" sign, but with a slight tilt, it became a "ten".

"Fuck..." Han Miao took a look and muttered, "So arrogant, Master Bai." Very arrogant

, but you can't do anything about it.

After just half a minute, everyone present understood the meaning of Bai Li's gesture.

Ten minutes is ten minutes, just hurry up, never late.

This arrogant attitude set off the main arena and the audience watching the game behind hundreds of suspended robots.

"Damn, isn't this guy a little too arrogant?"

"This attitude is terrible... Why am I so uncomfortable with it?"

"To be honest, the image of Master Bai has not changed much over the years... He seems to have always been like this..."

"I surrender to Major General Bai. On the first day of the competition, I surrender."

Alphas have the genes of competitiveness and attention. Quite a few people look down on Bai Li's arrogance, but no one dares to say that Bai Li doesn't deserve this arrogance.

If you can solve a heavy mecha in ten minutes, you can be so arrogant.

Major General Bai is the same as he was back then.
