Zhou You felt that the rating of this mecha would not be lower than D+, and it might even be possible to reach a higher C-level.
The result was exactly as Zhou You had inferred. The rating on the mecha test machine was indeed C-. But there were two big words "serious" at the end!
[Mecha name: Soul Lock, Mecha rating: C-, damage level: severe]
[Other parameters cannot be detected by this test machine, please change to a higher level test machine! ]
"This damage can be rated as C-grade!" Zhou You was stunned. "Normally, a mecha with a serious damage level is no different from a scrapped one. It is difficult to move, and it takes a lot of concentration to communicate with the mecha to complete driving. But this one has no problems at all, why is it rated as a serious damage level?"
Zhou You was very puzzled and questioned his life. He stretched out his hand and reached forward.
Boom! The dark green mecha named Soul Lock pierced deeply into a SN96 with its big hook, just like piercing tofu.
Zhou You lifted it with some effort, and the SN96 was moved several meters. "With this controllability and materials, I can believe it if you say it surpasses Principal Yang and Old Li's mecha. How could it be C-class?" Zhou You tried the control again, and it felt extremely smooth. He also began to heat up and became more focused.
"It can also replenish the mecha operator, and it seems that this mecha has a strong ability to increase the operator's strength, and can release the operator's strength many times." Zhou You sighed, "It seems that it's not that the Soul Lock is not strong enough, but that my strength is not strong enough. If I am strong enough, I can even use iron chains to tie up all the SN96s here and throw them out like grenade launchers."
Zhou You thought of the most primitive but continuing direction of mecha development to this day.
Regardless of the type, model, or even age of mechas, the research direction of mechas is always centered on the operator! This is also the biggest difference between mechas and ordinary weapons.
Ordinary weapons, ranging from some pistol-type laser guns and semi-automatic laser guns to strategic-level weapons and destructive-level weapons, cannot be changed once they are fired.
If you use destructive weapons, but there are thousands or tens of thousands of your own people in the area you attack, then I'm sorry, there is no way to change it, and these people will have to be buried with you.
But mechas are completely different. They are dominated by the operators. Forget about formulating a strategy. Even if the mecha is in front of you, there are still a few tenths of a second and the mecha can change its attack strategy at any time.
In order to achieve this kind of control, the mecha pilot needs to be strong enough to match the mecha.
Otherwise, the driving force of a D-class mecha can produce hundreds of kilograms of torque. If a weak child goes up there, he might be crushed by the mecha before he even sees the enemy.
Therefore, the rise of mechas gave rise to warriors, who could use mechas to continuously expand their strength.
A large part of a mecha's rating is also based on how much the mecha can amplify the operator's power.
For example, a warrior with 100 points of strength can exert 200 points of strength through a D-class mecha.
If he drives a D+ class mecha, he can even exert 1,000 points of strength. Combined with the weapons carried in the mecha and the weight of the mecha itself, the destructive power is very astonishing.
Of course, no matter how advanced the mecha is, the physical fitness requirements are very strict. It is impossible to operate it without training.
Therefore, what surprised Zhou You was that he couldn't even imagine how high the level of a C-class mecha was before it was damaged. He could actually operate a mecha of this level as if nothing had happened.
Although his strength had improved a little in the dream, he had just begun to improve, and his physical fitness was far from reaching the level of operating a C-class mecha or even a higher-level mecha.
"Compatibility!" Zhou You thought of a book he had read, which said that there was once a very talented mecha maker from the second generation of a rich family who tried to make a mecha that could be driven by anyone, regardless of gender, age, strength or even disability.
This second-generation rich man spent all his family fortune and decades of time to finally develop a very tough armor layer that can provide the operator with excellent protection and force transmission capabilities.
This kind of armor layer is not strong enough to allow anyone to withstand the pressure of the mecha, because on the day when this genius rich second generation conducted the experiment, he used the A-class mecha that he produced the armor layer to crush the body of an experimenter alive.
This caused the rich second generation's reputation to plummet. He was subjected to countless insults and overnight he went from being a highly-regarded genius to a despised executioner. Unable to bear the pressure, the rich second generation committed suicide.
When the investigators went to check the inheritance of the rich second generation, they found that the armor layer made by the rich second generation had disappeared, and the raw materials and formulas could not be found at all.
A hundred years later, a second-hand mecha dealer named Leilong Group emerged and used a material on a series of once highly rated battle-damaged mechas, allowing these damaged high-level mechas to be operated by low-level warriors.
Once this discovery was launched, it became popular all over the world and even received purchase orders from many countries.
How many abandoned mechas does a country have? Millions! If all of them were downgraded and put back into battle, the profits would be unimaginable.
The Leilong Group has been developing wildly for decades, constantly acquiring companies, growing bigger and stronger, and even starting its own mecha manufacturing journey.
The Leilong Group was once the most powerful company, so naturally, the rich second generation was the one who thought of the mecha that could be downgraded and driven. However, the Leilong Group had already involved the interests of too many people at that time, and it was so big that it was difficult to be overturned by a small storm.
The people who spread the news were soon found by the Thunder Dragon Group. Everyone thought that the Thunder Dragon Group would use thunderous means to make these people disappear from the world. However, the Thunder Dragon Group chose to stop the production of downgraded mechas, and within a year, it stopped all mecha production lines one after another.
Choosing to back off at the peak moment is no joke.
The only killer weapon that makes people love and fear it is gone. A large backlog of orders, anger from all sides, and jealous competitors have torn the Thunder Dragon Group to pieces. This has led to the Thunder Dragon Group gradually fading out of sight, and even its own mechas have not been retained. We can only get a glimpse of them from textbooks. "If I remember correctly, the Thunder Dragon Group should have built a production line in Luocheng. Later, after the scale expanded, except for the headquarters retained in Luocheng, other production lines were gradually moved to large cities, close to the west, which is the territory of the enemy King Jin this time." Zhou You seemed to feel that he had caught something extraordinary, "I have also heard of the reputation of King Jin in the news"
"As a powerful mecha division in the rebel army, King Jin is invincible in the entire western region. There is no reason for him to suddenly target a small place like Luocheng. Luocheng has no food and it is not a strategic location." Zhou You frowned, "Could it be that King Jin has a relationship with the Thunder Dragon Group? This time he cleaned up Luocheng for the mecha that can be downgraded?!"
Zhou You seemed to understand that for a man of King Jin's level, who occupied the western part, he would definitely not be short of manpower.
The Western Mecha Manufacturing Industry is very developed, and the Western Mecha Group is one of the top three super groups in the world. However, there are only a bunch of mechas and a bunch of warriors with insufficient skills. Seeing that the combat effectiveness of the Jin King’s Army cannot be improved, the Great King of Jin should be eager to find a solution!
"If my mecha is discovered, wouldn't it be very dangerous!" Zhou You suddenly trembled, and at this moment, buzz buzz buzz! A shrill whistle sounded, which was the whistle of the enemy attacking the school!
Zhou You’s face changed drastically.
The enemy has come in, can't the principal and the head teacher, Mr. Li, hold on? !
