Only students from the Mecha Academy were left in the training base, while students from other departments were taken to other places for intensive training. Different academies had different arrangements for the next week, and this arrangement was only to make the freshmen have a strong sense of belonging to their own academy.
Wang Yi excitedly mentioned the mecha experience to Lin Zimao early in the morning.
Their majors are related to mechas, but unlike operators, they do not stay in mechas every day for various trainings. Although their future career directions are related to mechas, everyone wants to enter the mecha industry. There are so many graduates every year, each one is better than the other, and there are countless competitions for an ordinary logistics position. It is too difficult to enter this industry and really come into contact with mechas, and it is also saturated.
Now I can sit in a mecha and show off my power, and experience the speed and smoothness inside the mecha, which is a great thing.
The freshmen are now like children looking forward to a spring outing, chattering non-stop.
After today, they will also be able to drive mechas, and they are so easily satisfied.
In addition to the on-machine experience, the school will select people from each class to undergo two days of special training, and hold a mecha operation show on the last day of the military training. The winning students' classes will receive mecha models awarded by the school.
Of course, this is just an experience, and the school is willing to spend money to give freshmen more opportunities to experience.
There are only about a hundred mechas available for students to operate, and they are divided by class.
The Mecha Maintenance Class 2 was the second batch. The first batch of classes had half an hour of computer operation time, but it still took more than an hour in total. There were many people, and the freshmen were not as well-trained as the soldiers. There would definitely be many problems during the period. Only after they finished could it be the turn of Lin Zimao and others.
Wang Yi kept rubbing his hands to show his nervousness and excitement at the moment.
After waiting for a long time, the sun began to rise slowly. Lin Zimao was a little irritable because of the sun: "Wang Yi, if you rub your hands again, I will tie you up and beat you up."
Wang Yi's eyes were almost filled with excitement: "But I'm nervous. I'm about to board a real mecha!"
Lin Zimao looked at the large mecha moving step by step in the middle of their playground and criticized Wang Yi: "To what extent do you think the school can let us play with mechas?"
Wang Yi was so excited that his brain stopped working and he didn't notice the words in Lin Zimao's words: "To what extent?"
Lin Zimao asked him: "Did you see any mecha flying into the sky?"
Wang Yi replied: “No.”
Lin Zimao asked again: "Did you see which machine fired the shell?"
Wang Yi answered again: "No."
Lin Zimao continued to ask: "Have you seen a single-person mecha?"
Wang Yi gradually realized that something was wrong: "It seems not."
Lin Zimao took off his hat and fanned himself: "So why are you so nervous? It's just like the first round of the exhibitions you attended before."
Wang Yi's excited face collapsed: "Is it like this?"
Lin Zimao liked to see him being hit: "Be more confident, and remove the 'ma'."
Wang Yi said in distress: "I still want to drive the mecha and talk to the mecha AI!"
Lin Zimao said, "How is that possible? Ordinary heavy multiplayer mechas won't enable full intelligent AI for you. Even if they do, there will be seniors from the combat department watching over them. We can only experience it once by sitting in the co-pilot seat."
Wang Yi was very depressed, but suddenly came alive again and stared at Lin Zimao: "How do you know so much?"
Lin Zimao put his hat back on his head, pulled the brim back, paused, and said, "I guessed."
Wang Yi didn't think too much about it. All he could think about was hoping that he wouldn't get a multiplayer mech: "I want to use a two-player mech. This way, apart from the senior who's operating it, I'll have the mech all to myself."
Lin Zimao deliberately said: "Heavy armor is fun."
Wang Yi winked at him and said with a grin, "In that case, you wear the heavy armor and give me the double armor."
Lin Zimao remained unmoved: "Luck is also a kind of strength."
While Lin Zimao and Wang Yi were laughing, Jiang Xuan and He Ling were checking with the other classes in front about the order and time for Mecha Class 2 to board their mechas.
Brilliant colors streaked across the sky as the first batch of mechas took off into the air.
After reading it, Wang Yi started to scold Lin Zimao: "You just said you won't take off!"
Lin Zimao said in a bit of a nasty tone: "Boring."
Wang Yi pretended to be angry and hugged his neck: "Damn it, you are so bored that you want to play with my feelings!"
After Jiang Xuan confirmed the time with the classmate in front of him, he turned around and saw Lin Zimao and Wang Yi sitting together affectionately.
His eyes turned cold, and he said to the freshmen of Mecha Class 2: "It will be your turn soon, everyone, line up."
Only then did Wang Yi release the hand that was around Lin Zimao's neck.
The freshmen of Class 2 lined up and went to the preparation area. Once the previous batch of freshmen got off the mecha, they could go up and experience it. Now they still needed to wait.
The four columns became one. Jiang Xuan happened to be standing next to Lin Zimao. He saw that Lin Zimao's shoelaces were loose, so he reminded him: "The shoelaces are loose."
Jiang Xuan's voice is easy to recognize. The male voices around Lin Zimao are all relatively crisp, while his voice is relatively deep and magnetic.
During the military training, he didn't see Jiang Xuan every day, nor did he hear him speak every time he saw him, but as soon as Jiang Xuan opened his mouth, Lin Zimao knew it was him, and he was sure that the other party was talking to him.
Lin Zimao thanked him politely: "Oh, OK."
He squatted down to tie his shoelaces.
Jiang Xuan looked down along the path of his squatting movement and saw the white back of his neck exposed as he lowered his head. The skin on his neck had peeled off due to sunburn last week, and the new flesh was a little pink, so tender. It was estimated that in a day or two, the pink color would blend in with the surrounding skin.
In three days, the military training for freshmen will come to an end, and Jiang Xuan's work as an assistant to freshmen will also come to an end.
Lin Zimao tied his shoelaces and stood up. Jiang Xuan took two steps back and distanced himself from him.
The first batch of freshmen who were on the mechas finally climbed down one by one.
Yes, you read that right, most of them climbed down.
Most of those who boarded were multi-person heavy armored vehicles rather than two-person light mechas.
The freshmen who were able to go up and experience it looked so bleak, which shows that the rumors about the high physical fitness requirements for mecha operators are not without basis.
According to what they had just observed, these mechas didn't actually fly very high. They just turned a few more circles in the air and made a few interesting poses. They reached about ten kilometers, which is the stratosphere.
Seeing the first batch of freshmen who were riding the mecha vomiting like this, the hearts of those who had not yet boarded began to beat nervously, and the experience of riding the mecha did not seem so worth looking forward to.
Compared to other students who had begun to retreat, Lin Zimao turned a blind eye to the miserable plight of the freshmen who were being caressed away.
His eyes fell on the mechas parked nearby. Each mecha was well maintained, but it could be seen that these were not the latest models. In the military, these should be old items from more than ten or twenty years ago.
While Lin Zimao was thinking about the different models of mechas, he heard increasingly noisy noises in his ears.
Someone was asking Jiang Xuan about their class's experience boarding the mecha.
"Senior, I usually get dizzy on starships, will I get dizzy on mechas as well?"
"Senior, did you have this situation when you were on mecha last year?"
"Senior, my legs are starting to get weak. Will I be able to come back alive later? I'm so scared!"
Lin Zimao withdrew his gaze from the mecha. He was a little curious about how Jiang Xuan would answer the questions of these students.
As expected, Jiang Xuan did not answer any of their questions. Instead, He Ling carefully explained to them the procedures after getting on the computer.
He Ling: "Everyone, don't worry, nothing will happen. Inside is our school's most outstanding mecha combat senior. After you go up, the senior will tell you what to do and what not to do. Everyone will have a chance to try it out, but it's not often. The experience is also very strong, and you won't regret getting on a mecha."
"So, senior, do we need to do anything else?" a girl asked in a panic, "I'm afraid I'll get dizzy and vomit like them."
He Ling's voice was gentle and soothing: "It's okay, not everyone is like this, just be mentally prepared, everyone will be using the same model later, don't be nervous, just follow the senior's instructions, did you all listen?"
Teacher Yu just talked about the precautions in Class 1 and came to Class 2 to remind them again.
The group of students in front were from the mecha design department. One senior ran up to Jiang Xuan and said, "Jiang Xuan, Cheng Chen seems to have fainted. Don't you want to go check on him?"
Not only did the freshmen think that Jiang Xuan and Cheng Chen were a couple, even the people in the student union knew very well about them.
It was tacitly acknowledged that they were together from the first day of school.
Jiang Xuan was already labeled as the campus hunk of Fei University, and Cheng Chen was relatively high-profile among the freshmen. The two were tied together and became the topic of conversation. One felt that the more he explained, the more trouble he would have, while the other deliberately didn't explain in order to confirm the rumors. This led to the current situation. Cheng Chen became Jiang Xuan's "boyfriend", and they would look for Jiang Xuan whenever Cheng Chen had any problems.
Lin Zimao was not far away from Jiang Xuan, and he heard what the senior said, but he did not turn around, but stood in line.
But sometimes, the more you don't want to hear something, the easier it is for it to reach your ears, and it's hard not to hear it.
Jiang Xuan replied: "There is a medical center in the school."
The other party told him that Cheng Chen had fainted. After all, they had grown up together, so Jiang Xuan was not so indifferent as to ignore it. Since the school could launch a mecha experience project, it meant that there would be follow-up guarantees. He was neither worried nor concerned.
The other party also knew his personality, so he didn't say anything more. He just smiled and said, "You are really indifferent to your boyfriend."
Not only did he think so, the freshmen in Class 2 who heard the conversation between the two also thought so.
Senior Jiang Xuan is really cold, but they like Jiang Xuan's coldness very much.
He is cool and everyone likes him, but if they were cool, they would definitely be unsociable. Why
Because he doesn't have the looks of a school idol, he doesn't have an extraordinary family background, and he doesn't have the extraordinary qualities of a gifted child.
Jiang Xuan turned his head and looked coldly at the classmate who was talking to him: "Don't talk nonsense, he is not my boyfriend."
The freshmen nearby happened to hear this and started talking about it, and the senior was also surprised.
Not a boyfriend
Lin Zimao heard it as well and turned to look at Jiang Xuan, who happened to be looking over at him. After staring at each other, they both turned their heads away.
The senior from the combat department in front called their class, and Jiang Xuan walked over.
Finally, it is the turn of the students from the Mecha Maintenance Department to board the mecha!
Everyone was attracted by the tall mecha in front of them, and lined up according to the arrangements of Jiang Xuan and the senior students from the combat department.
Lin Zimao was standing behind Wang Yi. When Wang Yi went up, the seat was full, so Lin Zimao had to wait for the next one.
Jiang Xuan, who was helping to arrange the work, happened to be standing next to him and told him: "The one below is a two-person mecha."
Lin Zimao straightened his hat and raised his eyebrows: "So?"
Seeing his high spirits, Jiang Xuan felt a little warm in his heart and said, "You might feel a little uncomfortable when you go up there."
Lin Zimao looked at him and said without hesitation, "That's it." Before turning around, he took the initiative to ask Jiang Xuan in a good mood, "What did you feel when you went up there last year?"
This was when Lin Zimao took the initiative to talk to Jiang Xuan after the last game activity ended.
Without waiting for Jiang Xuan's reply, Lin Zimao turned around and quickly got into the co-pilot cabin of the mecha.
Jiang Xuan looked at the door of the red and white mecha being completely integrated and pursed his lips.
Last year he...
