"... I was so excited that I didn't sleep the whole night! You didn't sleep either... That's right, I haven't seen a single mecha for two months, including the military training and this month. I almost forgot that I'm a single soldier!"
"I wonder if we will be given mechas later? Unfortunately, our school has limited resources. Even if we are provided with mechas, they will probably only be of the lowest standard. But this one is pretty good, as long as it is a special mecha, and it must not be an ornamental mecha. My dad said that schools that use this kind of mecha for teaching tasks are mean and mean, and in the end they can't teach students how to drive military mechas."
"Be more serious, my friend. We are not giving out mechas, but equipping them. Even the ornamental mechas you mentioned cannot be bought with the money you spend on toys. I guess we can only touch them in class."
"Hehe, I've heard that schools equipped with mechas will purchase special insurance, and they have to spend a lot of money every year just to have them repaired regularly. It is said that the probability of students damaging mechas is quite high."
The above are gossip types, each has a different message port, and each says its own thing.
Of course, there are also some not so friendly ones, where people start quarreling while talking, such as the following:
"… Just forget about it. Do you think that every soldier can equip a mecha right away? Not all soldiers are qualified to drive a mecha. First of all, you have to be able to afford it. If you hadn't come to school, many people would have only been able to watch it in movies or on the road."
"You are such a rude guy. Everyone is happily discussing the class here, why are you the only one pouring cold water on others?"
"You too, right? Just now when I was talking about mecha types, you kept correcting me, as if you knew a lot..."
…
Ask Jiang Hui which school she belongs to... ah? She belongs to the daze school. To be honest, her brain is divided into two halves. One half is still thinking about the pile of spare parts in the dormitory, while the other half is looking forward to the next course. It's quite contradictory.
But her contradictions are usually not shown on her face. In the eyes of others, Jiang Hui is quite calm, always very calm, and next to her is almost frozen, which is the polar opposite of Clarence who is in the same state at the other end. People can't help but sigh that these two people are indeed worthy of being teammates who once fought side by side, and they are actually the same kind of people.
In fact, Jiang Hui was not completely uncurious, because they had already discussed it in the cafeteria at noon, and there was an insider who gave them some information. So Jiang Hui and his friends knew more than many of the students who were just guessing blindly.
I have to say that Hillman is really low-key. Although she knew that his family was in business and wealthy, she didn't expect that his family actually had shares in the school. Although it was not much, it was purchased by Hillman not long after he entered the school, but this alone was enough for him to know more about the situation in the school than other students.
Hillman told them that the school had been allocated a batch of brand new D-class standard mechas this year, which were specially provided for use by students of all grades in the combat individual department.
D-class is the lowest standard among general-purpose mechas, but it is much better than ornamental mechas. Although it is just a standardized product produced by the assembly line of a military factory, it has all the functions that a mecha should have, and it also reaches the minimum performance of military mechas specified by the empire.
The last point is very rare, because even privately customized or general standard mechas may not meet this standard. Because this is equivalent to a military-specific mecha stamped by a military agency, the standard is strict, and there is almost no difference with the mecha used on the battlefield.
Students who are taught with such mechas will not only be able to adapt more quickly when they own their own mechas in the future, but will also be able to reduce driving errors and habits that may result from using non-standard mechas.
Anyway, in order to obtain this batch of D-class standard mechas, the Eighth Legion put in a lot of effort, and it is said that it cost a month's quota.
This is no joke. You have to know that the Eighth Legion is not a place dedicated to training students. It is a real legion that exists for fighting, and its main force is still active on the battlefield today.
It can be said that the mecha quota within the legion is allocated to the generals, and it is almost impossible for it to flow out. It is willing to spend a month's quota to equip the schools under its name with mechas, which shows its determination to select the best.
As for the Hillman family, they were responsible for the money part. After all, the quota was the quota, and they were only eligible to buy, but they still had to pay. The other party relied on this part of the mecha money to obtain a small amount of shares from the school. To some extent, the Hillman family can be regarded as a typical interstellar currency player.
Knowing that it was a standard mecha, Jiang Hui also had a rough idea of what it was.
The standard mecha is short for ordinary standard mecha, which is one of the major branches of standard mecha. Because even standard mecha is divided into ordinary humanoid, mimic linear and mixed neutral types.
The ordinary standard type is generally an ordinary humanoid mecha, which is the earliest prototype of mecha constructed by humans. It has relatively rigid lines and structure, average data, no obvious shortcomings, and has a little bit of everything but none of it is too outstanding.
Let's put it this way, it's probably equivalent to a one-size-fits-all for mechas, which is suitable for most people, but most people won't find it particularly useful. However, it's probably the most appropriate to use this as an enlightenment mecha, because standardization makes it easier to highlight the level and cultivate top talents.
If they can perform well in driving such mechas, their level will naturally become higher when they get special mechas tailored for them.
It is said that the data of this type of mecha is what Jiang Hui has come into contact with the most in his research on mecha these days. Although there are still some differences between the real thing and the model, the structure is just like that.
Jiang Hui was not very interested in the topic of selecting a mecha, but he was a little interested in the fact that they might try to drive a mecha next.
I wonder if Stark's class teacher will let them try driving a mecha today.
Yes, their mecha practical course teacher is Stark, the class teacher. This is the case for most classes in the combat individual soldier department, where their class teachers serve as teachers for mecha practical courses. Only a small number of special class teachers are transferred from other places.
As she thought this, not long after, familiar footsteps came from afar. The people who were still discussing enthusiastically stood up almost instinctively, and quickly adjusted their positions and formations, from being messy to being orderly, just like the military training a month ago.
It seems that the impression this person left on the students during the military training was so deep that everyone would react reflexively when they heard the footsteps.
