Astral Flower-Chapter 464: Mecha (2)

"The medium sized mechas has more weapons equipped and has harsher requirement to be able to control the mecha itself. There are several requirements depending on the design, which is divided to the level F to S with the F level has the lowest requirement. In terms of physical strength’ requirement, C is enough but the mental strength for the higher ones are higher...."

The teacher then showed several pictures to show the differences in the requirement for the mental strength and the reasons.

Most of them were because of the program inside the mechas itself.

The higher the level, the more uses would there be in the mechas and more complicated weapons could be installed. But to be able to control these weapons precisely, higher mental strength is required.

Without sufficient mental strength, the burden for their brain was too big. If they forced themselves, they might end up braindead or fall into coma.

Either way, the end result wouldn’t be good.

So no one would dare to challenge the higher ranked mecha without considering their own mental strength.

"The medium sized mechas can be used both inside a planet or in the space. They’re also equipped with the flying equipment and can be used appropriately." The instructor looked at the students in front of him. "This is also the most popular mechas."

The students all nodded.

They knew this point.

After all, the medium sized mechas can be said to be the most efficient in various sides.

"Lastly, The big sized mechas are commonly used to fight in space and can’t be used in a city because they might end up destroying buildings due to the sheer size alone. They’re equipped with flying equipment and had many weapons that can be used in the space. But at the same time, they’re the hardest to control. Some of them are even designed to be controlled by two people in order to share the mental burden when controlling the mecha.

However, this kind of control required you to have a trusted partner because your mental consciousness will be connected with each other. If you don’t trust each other, your control wouldn’t be synchronised with each other and might end up causing harm for yourself and your partner."

The instructor shook his head. "The number of big sized mechas are still very rare and not many people dare to use it unless they have partners whom they could fully trust. Also, when you connect your mental consciousness, you might end up seeing each other’s memory, which is one of the few reasons why this large sized mecha is not very popular."

How many secrets could one have?

The answer is many.

There were many things that they definitely didn’t want other people to see in their entire life and would rather let it be buried inside their mind forever.

But this mecha has mental consciousness’ program that would let them connect their mental consciousness with their partner. Such a way would leak out their memory unconsciously, allowing others to peek into their deepest secret.

"So far, the biggest mechas are either used by husband and wife who are both soldiers or by trusted comrade in arms who fought for many years together," The instructor continued. "Of course, our topic of discussion will be the medium sized mecha, which are commonly used and will be your target in the future.

For the practice later, you will start with suit mecha that will help you to adapt to the sensation of having additional layer of machines around their body, which would be the basis of the mecha itself.

Having your arms, legs, and so on bigger than usual would take some time for them to adapt.

The suit mecha is still very similar in size with their own body, so it was also the best one for practice.

After they got used to it, they would switch with the mecha and adapt once more with the heavier and bigger ’body’ they had.

"Now, we’re going to talk about the control for your mecha. There are two main controls, which are the control through your own hand operation and also through your mind consciousness. When you enter the mecha, you will realize that the control room has a lot of buttons and so on that you can click.

At the same time, the large screen will provide you with a lot of information and also the situation of various parts in the mecha. For people with strong consciousness, it’s easier to give commands to your mecha’s AI. But for new students like you..." The instructor swept his gaze to his students and shook his head. "It’s better to just be honest and practice your fingers’ speed."

The students looked at the instructor in confusion.

"Why, Instructor?" One of them couldn’t help but raise his hand and asked.

"That’s because without strong mental strength and intense training, you wouldn’t be able to read and control the mecha solely by your mental strength," the instructor replied. "It was said that the lowest requirement to control with your mental strength is to have higher than 2 of mental strength. Even then, just reaching 2 still meant that it’s very difficult. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Among you all, how many of you have reached mental strength of 2?"

When asked this question, they all looked away and refused to say anything. It was clear that they didn’t reach this mental strength and might not be able to reach it anytime soon.

Tian Lin was even more dumbfounded as he rubbed his hand.

"...I might not be able to do it in this life."

His mental strength’s progression was quite slow and Tian Lin wanted to cry when he thought about this.

"Then you can work hard," Qian Fei Liu said from the side.

"You don’t seem surprised."

"...I already know that we need high mental strength to control the mecha. Besides, do you forget that I have more knowledge than you?"

Tian Lin: "..." I really want to beat him up.
