Chapter 119 Single-person startup test
Louis only said a few words: "General Chromium (the third-generation skuo of Canada) was mobilized to other bases for missions, and the dangerous wanderers were seriously damaged. Tango wolf driver Gunnar was recovering recently. The base lost all its combat power. If the monster suddenly attacked, there would not even be the power to block the monster's evacuation time."
This is all true. Since the dangerous wanderer was seriously damaged and General Chromium was transferred, Sterk Pantcoster has transferred the Tango Wolf stationed at the Tokyo base.
But the driver of the Tango Wolf, Gunnar, has been injured recently, and the Tango Wolf is unable to be dispatched now, and the Alaska base is indeed in its weakest period.
"And, Commander, you can do it at the beginning. I, who is much better than your physical fitness, can of course do it."
Single driving is considered impossible, but the battlefield situation changes rapidly and there will always be various accidents. The current commander-in-chief of the Skuo Project, Stucker Pantcoster, successfully drove the Skuo alone to defeat the monster demon witch.
"That's it?" Sturk Pantcoster sat there, waiting for Louis to come, but Louis had already stopped: "It's impossible to convince me just this."
"But you will go back and think about whether this matter is feasible. It's better for us to omit these useless and waste time steps and just conduct the test." As long as Louis said these words, Pantcost would definitely keep thinking about the feasibility. After all, he is the commander and he is responsible for the entire Skuo Plan and the defense arrangements of all bases.
The situation at the Alaska base is here. If Louis can really start driving the Tango Wolf, at least before the Dangerous Wanderer is restored, the Alaska base will also have the combat power to fight against monsters, rather than a pure decoration.
"But the test is very dangerous and may threaten your life. I don't want to lose a good driver." The skuo drivers seem to have a lot of reserves, but most people are not top-notch. It's not without reason that they can only serve as reserve forces.
Only a driver as outstanding as Louis has the ability to fight monsters.
"How could it be? If the test is successful, you will get a trump driver... If it fails, you should be glad that a disobedient thorn like me will not become a real skuo driver."
"Are you not a thorny head if the test is successful?"
"Of course not, it just proves that my judgment is correct; and if you drive a double person, no matter how tacit understanding is, it cannot be compared to a person." Louis glanced at Stroke Pantcoster in front of him: "You who once drove the Tango Wolf alone and defeated the monster must be very clear about this."
Pantcoster remained silent and looked at Louis in front of him. Louis was also sitting there looking at Pantcoster.
The two of them looked at each other for a minute. Commander Pantcoster suddenly stood up, as if he didn't want to waste time with Louis. However, before leaving, he suddenly said: "Test in three days, be ready."
"As for orders, Marshal."
Pantcoster's official position is Marshal of the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Forces, and all the skua and mech bases are under his command. This is why Louis did not want to go to other bases to convince other commanders, because they will be summarized in front of this person in the end, why did he do such useless efforts?
When Pantcoster left, Cai Tiantong, who had not spoken, stared at Louis in surprise: "You actually convinced him? This is incredible."
"The situation at the base is there." If Pantcost had a better choice, he would not agree to Louis for the test.
But if you can really start the mecha alone, it means that the Alaska base has defensive power again, and an ace driver will even appear again.
The gap between ace skua drivers and ordinary drivers is too big. The base stationed by the ace drivers can ensure the safety of the base for several years; while ordinary drivers may die in one battle and have to pay for very expensive skua who is difficult to create.
According to Pantcoster's idea, after the Dangerous Wanderer was repaired, he was planning to let Louis work with a driver, with Louis as the main driver, which should restore the Alaska base's defensive combat power.
Now it seems that if Louis can drive alone, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to choose a suitable co-pilot. The strength gap is too big, and the co-pilot will drag it down and instead will lose an excellent driver.
It was because of the many parties that Pantcoster finally agreed to Louis' request and conveyed the order to carry out various preparations for the test.
Three days seemed to be abundant, but in fact it passed quickly. The technicians at the Alaska base were busy for three days and inspected the single-person driving cabin of Tango Wolf. After ensuring there was no problem, they adjusted the internal driving system of Tango Wolf and moved the Tango Wolf to a workshop dedicated to the start-up test. Only then did Louis notify him of preparation.
"I didn't expect to see you wearing this outfit so soon."
The skuo driver needs to wear a special circuit suit, which looks like a tight suit and various armor (actually to connect the device to the body), and also inject special data to transmit latex into the circuit suit. Louis was wearing a close-fitting circuit suit and suddenly remembered what he said to Jill: How many flags did I stand up? Do you have to pull them clean one by one?
"What are you thinking?" Morimako saw Louis being in a daze and asked curiously: "Are you nervous?"
"It's nothing, I just think this outfit is too tight."
"You will often wear this outfit in the future, and you will get used to it sooner or later." Seeing that Louis was indeed not abnormal, Mazi asked a few simple questions and left after recording it in her hand.
After putting on his equipment, Louis put on his helmet and walked into the cockpit under the guidance of the technician.
Unlike the double cockpit seen in the movie, this cockpit has only one driving position. Louis stands in a predetermined position and snaps his feet into the device, the technician will help him complete the connection of the position behind him.
Looking at the various panels and buttons in front of him, Louis recalled the various driving knowledge he had just learned and began to start the driving system.
The cockpit entrance has been closed and closed, and Louis knows that the test will be started soon.
"Okay, Louis, are you ready?" The voice of Marshal Pantcoster came from the communicator. People in the entire base are currently paying attention to this test.
When Pantcoster ordered a start-up test, the base staff did not take it seriously, thinking that the marshal just wanted to find someone to replace Gunnar. After all, there is only a Tango wolf in the Alaska base that can fight, but Gunnar is still recovering from his injuries. If the monster attacks Alaska at this time, they can only wait to die.
In this case, it is normal for the marshal to choose a driver just in case.
However, when everyone figured out the test content, they were all shocked: what the Marshal was going to conduct was not an ordinary driver start test, but a single-player start Skuo's test.
As for the driver who conducted the test, Louis Hunter, who is also the supernova who is famous in the base recently.
Since joining the Alaska base, Louis Hunter quickly showed a qualities that exceeded others. Not only did he avoid a lot of physical training, but he also completed all driving courses in just a few months. He also performed well in simulation training, and his fighting ability was invincible in the base.
Such outstanding performance basically locks in the official driver qualification.
But this Louis Hunter didn't know which nerve was wrong and always wanted to try driving a skua alone. This is no longer a secret in the base. Everyone talked about gossip.
Some people even set up a bet: Can Louis convince the senior management to conduct a single-person driving test? Can Louis really drive the skuo alone? Can Louis become the first official driver to drive the skuo alone? Will the senior management prepare to build a new skuo for Louis?
Basically, no one thought Louis could do the next few points. The person who was most optimistic about him simply felt that he could convince Marshal Pantcoster to conduct a start-up test.
Those behind? Take a shower and go to bed! That’s something that people can do?
Even at this moment before the test officially began, most people were not optimistic that Louis could complete the test successfully. The first aid team was on standby and ready to rush over for rescue at any time.
At this time, Louis was adjusting his breathing after completing the startup work before starting up, secretly activates the Force to protect himself: just in case if he adds some defense (strengthen himself) first, and if he is sure there is no problem, he can appropriately weaken the effect until it is completely lifted. Even if he can definitely bear it, it will not be a bad thing to make more preparations.
"It's ready!"
The activation of the neural connection is not in the cockpit, but in the hands of Cai Tiantong, a technician in the command room.
"Neural connection starts, 3, 2, 1, starts!"
There was no memory surge because Louis was connected to the skuo alone. He just felt his body suddenly became much heavier. This was the feedback given to him by the skuo mecha, and there was no other abnormal feeling.
"The connection was successful, the Tango Wolf started successfully."
While Cai Tiantong reported, he stared at the feedback of various data in front of him. He could talk to Louis Ting and did not want an accident to a friend he had just met.
Pantcoster also did not want to see an accident, so he immediately used a communicator to ask about Louis's situation: "Louis, can you hear me?"
"Very clear, Marshal!" Louis's tone was very calm, and there was no abnormality, which surprised everyone in the command room: Even if you can bear it, won't you feel uncomfortable?
"How is it? Louis?" Pantcoster was also surprised. He knew how much 'pain' it would take to drive alone, and that was definitely not a wonderful experience.
