Astral Flower-Chapter 465: Mecha (3)

After the basic of mecha itself was explained, now the instructor was explaining the types of mechas.

"Strictly speaking, there are hundreds of thousands of mecha’s models. After all, mechas has been used for countless of years and there are modifications that was made again and again. But these mechas can be roughly divided into three types of mechas: long distance, close distance, and the mix of both.

Of course, even if it’s divided like this, there are still many differences for the various mechas, but for you, you only need to know as much. The basic mechas that you can practice will only be divided into these three. Only after you have mastered the basic would you be able to use other types of mechas," the instructor continued to explain.

There were many information and knowledge about these mechas but what the instructor explain was only the combat mecha.

There were also mechas used for other things and developed for other uses. But for Green Planet, the mechas they developed are all for combat.

After all, they hadn’t reached the level of those behemoths who are very rich and could use their technology for a lot of conveniences. What they needed more right now was to improve their planet as fast as possible.

For the past 200 years, they have been working hard and still hadn’t caught up. But at the very least, they were not at the worst position.

This was why the division for mechas are all based on combat.

Close combat, long distance, and mix of both.

Close combat mechas are usually designed to be able to move very quickly and do a lot of tricky maneuver. Aside from that, there would be several types of weapon such as sword, spear, glaive, and many others. The most common one was sword and knives, but they could also request for others.

Long distance mechas are usually designed with high defense and shield. They were used to protect themselves so that they would not be easily destroyed and equipped with various long distance weapons. The long distance weapons are mostly various types of guns, cannons, and so on.

Mixed of both are commonly known as combination type are usually designed with balanced attribute. They could be used for close combat or for long distance because the mecha is equipped with weapon for both. However, they wouldn’t be as agile as the close combat mecha or has high defense like the long distance ones. They’re somewhat in the middle and the control are known to be more difficult.

"When you select your types of mechas later, you need to pay attention to what kind of battle you prefer. Do you prefer to stay in the distance and aim at your enemies or do you prefer to get close and fight in close combat battle." The instructor smiled. "Depend on your specialization when fighting in real life, you should pick your mechas that way too."

The students were listening carefully.

The differences between the three types were actually quite a lot, but the instructor didn’t go in depth yet. He was still explaining the rough differences.

Nan Hua was listening calmly and then noticed that her light brain notified of chat coming.

She blinked her eyes and saw that their chat group was lit up.

...

<The Best’s Chat Group>

Tian Lin: Say, which mecha will you pick later?

Qian Fei Liu: Long distance.

Tian Lin: I’ll definitely pick close distance.

Tian Lin: Hey, you’re answering very quickly, Fei Liu.

Qian Fei Liu: I already know all the infuriation that the instructor said this time."

Tian Lin: ...

Tian Lin: As expected of a scholar.

Feng Yu Hua: I’m planning to pick combination.

Nan Hua: Long range

Qing Shu Lian: I honestly want to create my own but for the time being, I should be picking the long distance one.

Tian Lin: Wait, I’m alone who pick the close distance? Why didn’t you pick the close distance too, Yu Hua?

Feng Yu Hua: I don’t really specialize in close combat and can mix with long distance as long as it’s necessary.

Tian Lin: Aw...

Qian Fei Liu: Hua’er, why did you pick long distance? Wouldn’t the mix be better for you?

Nan Hua: It’s safer.

Tian Lin: ...

Qian Fei Liu: ...

Qing Shu Lian: ...

Feng Yu Hua: ...

...

Nan Hua looked at the row of ’...’ that the others sent and moved her gaze away from the light brain’s chat.

If she had to say, her fighting style was indeed more of combination compared to the long distance. After all, Nan Hua didn’t have much qualms whether it was close distance or long distance.

Just like what Feng Yu Hua said, she could use either as long as it was necessary.

For Nan Hua, either didn’t matter.

But the problem was that Nan Hua didn’t want to use the combination and do a lot of close combat’s battle. She knew her skills very well and if Nan Hua were to control the mecha, she was more worried that she wouldn’t be able to control herself.

In a physical battle, she could still control her strength to a certain extent.

But when she was inside the mecha, her high mental strength will definitely give her a lot of advantage in controlling the mecha. She would be able to react very quickly and respond when someone attacked her.

But the problem was...

It’s too fast.

Nan Hua knew how abnormal her performance would be compared to the other students in the same class.

For the sake of not revealing this flaw, Nan Hua chose to use the long distance mecha.

At the very least, long distance mecha will not test their reaction speed and also fighting skills so much.

For Nan Hua, this was the best method for her to cover up her real abilities.

Feng Yu Hua had no qualms because she was slowly approaching her real result.

But Nan Hua...

The current report and her real abilities were still far apart from each other.
