Counterfeit Hero

The armor was first tested by a mecha tester. No matter whether it was running or jumping, the one-arm suspension system showed good condition, with high flexibility and good shock absorption, which greatly improved the mecha's fighting movements. Auxiliary. The researchers in the core laboratory had conceited smiles on their faces and looked at the fat man sarcastically. If there is something wrong with the suspension device, there is only one reason, and that is that there is something wrong with this silly fat man's brain!

The mechas kept running around in the testing ground, performing various technical movements. The people in the venue were silent, only the sound of the mechas running, and the atmosphere seemed to have solidified. The better the performance of the one-arm suspension, the more displeased the researchers in the core laboratory became. After being questioned, they proved themselves right, giving them enough capital to stand up to Reinhardt, George and others. Express your dissatisfaction.

Halfway through the mecha test, Fatty shouted to stop. Under the glare of Adrian and others, he shook his head and asked the mecha experimenter to come down, and said to Reinhardt: "The test just now has been completed." It proves the concealment of this hidden danger. In ordinary training, the mecha will indeed not malfunction. However, this is also the most frightening part. Now, I need one person to fully utilize the performance of the mecha to surpass everyone. Do a pendulum-style emergency stop and turn at a speed of 230 kilometers per hour! Make three emergency stop and turn movements, and the result will come out!"

As soon as these words came out, all the staff in the core research room were furious. This fat man was so disgusting! Not only were the mecha test results completely rejected, but they were also criticized, as if the good performance of the one-arm suspension had become a sin! Each one of them looked livid with anger, gritted his teeth and said nothing, just waiting for the final result to be settled with the fat man! Kristina, who came with the fat man, was very worried. Among the people present, the older ones were experts, while the younger ones were recognized elites. They had broad connections and reputation in the Gacharin technology world. If the facts are not as Fatty said, then he will face a collective counterattack from Gacharin's technology community.

Reinhard thought for a moment, then waved to a company commander of the Mythical Legion to do the test. Bonnie, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: "I'll do it!" She raised her eyebrows, rolled up her wavy long hair with her delicate white hands, pinned it with hairpins, and said coldly to the fat man: "You You'd better make sure what you say is true. Otherwise, the fourth emergency stop and turn will be done by stepping on your body!"

The fat man looked at Bonnie dreamingly, his eyes as clear and affectionate as the sea. Bonnie was so angry that she snorted coldly and turned around and entered the mecha. What Bonnie couldn't figure out was that this fat man had clearly dated An Lei at the dance, so why did he still look like an innocent boy when he saw her? The deep affection in his watery eyes can make your whole body turn into giant goosebumps. How dare such a fat man fall in love with someone?

Bonnie started the mecha, and with a few "cheeping" sounds, the mecha's whole body stretched out under the support of the hydraulic system, and the roar of the engine's continuous improvement became louder and louder, sharp and harsh. Everyone held their breath. Everyone knew that as long as Bonnie's control command was given, the engine would send the mecha to high-speed operation in an instant.

The mecha moved, and everyone's eyes were dazzled as the modified heavy-duty military mecha flew out in a wonderful posture. That sudden change from a stationary state to a state of full speed shocks everyone! This is not the performance of an ordinary private mecha, but the control of a long-range heavy military mecha weighing about seventy tons! There is only one adjective that can describe this level of control, and that is perfect!

The fat man thought to himself: "This woman is quite capable! No wonder no one dares to have any objections to being the leader of the Mythical Legion." A layman sees the excitement, an expert sees the door, he naturally knows this kind of temporarily modified long-range attack military heavy-duty How difficult would it be for a mecha to perform such a difficult action!

The heavy steps of the mecha constantly shook the ground, and the devastating momentum of the high-speed operation made people breathless! A seventy-ton mecha is nothing compared to a space battleship, and it is nothing among heavy mechas. Even [King Kong] is several tons heavier than this mecha. Fatty and the soldiers of the Mythical Legion were looking at Bonnie's control, but in the test site, in front of the unarmed researchers, the mecha that was faster than the wind was absolutely shocking! The researchers who had never been on the battlefield looked at the mecha in dumbfounded amazement. They suddenly felt worried that such a heavy mecha would need to be used in close combat at such a fast speed on the battlefield? !

The fear soon became a reality. The mecha, which quickly increased its speed to 230 kilometers per hour, started an action that was simply unbelievable to these researchers, stopping and changing direction. During the forward high-speed movement, the mecha seemed to have hit an invisible wall. A mechanical leg was supported on the ground with great force. All the weight and inertial force of the mecha were concentrated on this leg. , as the dust flew, the mecha turned suddenly, turning back like a pendulum that had swung to the end of one side.

Just hearing a "click" sound, the mecha that accelerated again after turning around slowed down obviously, its leg movements looked very weird, and the mechanical legs that had been used as support became stiff. A proud smile appeared on Fatty's face, while the researchers in the core laboratory were silent. Needless to say, the hidden dangers predicted by Fatty had become a reality! Moreover, it was just an emergency stop and change of direction. Although this mecha was several tons heavier than the theoretical weight of the designed mecha, this does not become an excuse!

Bonnie stopped the mecha and jumped out of the cockpit, carefully inspecting the suspension device. Everyone gathered around it. The one-arm suspension had been deformed under the huge impact. Such a small deformation seriously affected the telescopic polymerization. The upper and lower buckles and hydraulic devices were also affected. If it were on the battlefield, this would be enough to sentence the driver of this mecha to death!

Fatty could see this hidden danger. In addition to his extraordinary mechanical talents, he should also have a high understanding of mecha combat. This mechanic, who has been exposed to private mechas for a long time, has a far-reaching and unique perspective on problems. For fighting mechas A has a complete set of ideas for his development, otherwise, he would never have discovered this hidden danger. You must know that the theory of military combat mechas has just begun after all. The professional researchers of the Gacharin Empire have also gone through many detours when designing [Demon Tiger] and [King Kong]. Until now, they are still feeling their way around. Cross the river. There is no doubt about Fatty’s mechanical genius! .

Reinhard glanced at the fat man appreciatively, while George patted the fat man on the shoulder with no concealment of excitement. A group of researchers who were arrogant just now were completely silent. They had no idea that a mecha that could theoretically adapt to almost any movement would malfunction so easily. The fat man was definitely not talking nonsense. From this time, it can be seen that his level is not much lower than anyone present!

Bonnie glanced at Fatty with a complicated expression and stood aside quietly. Reinhard looked at the researchers with a solemn expression. In mecha combat, the speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour is just a piece of cake for mecha masters. In an instant, the power of the mecha is increased to the warning zone, and the speed exceeds 500 kilometers per hour. There are many cases! Especially in the control of the beast-shaped mecha that the Mythical Legion is good at, there are more such situations! Not to mention emergency maneuvers when dodging high-velocity energy cannons or missiles with the help of auxiliary thrusters! It seems that the core laboratory indeed made a mistake this time!

Adrian's face turned pale. He didn't expect that such a heavy mecha would actually use such violent movements, and the drive systems of human-type mechas and beast-type mechas were so completely different. In such movements, a There is a clear difference between a humanoid mecha with legs as supporting feet and a beast-like mecha with two or even three legs as support! Obviously, the fighting methods of military mechas now far exceed the scope of his imagination. It is a huge mistake to design the suspension system based on the action frequency of private mechas of less than 40 tons and ordinary military mechas!

Reinhardt raised his head, looked at a group of silent scientific researchers and said slowly: "If such a malfunction occurs on the battlefield, the consequences will be disastrous. I hope that this test can give everyone some inspiration and some lessons. ." He looked around and saw various expressions on the faces of the scientific researchers, including shame, anger, indifference, and unwillingness, but no one dared to jump out to defend the fault at this time.

"I'm not questioning everyone's ability, but I hope everyone can understand that the nature of the Mythical Legion determines that the people who work here are the best and the best. Everyone has understood our military regulations. For the soldiers of the Mythical Legion, failure means death! And this rule also applies to the research laboratory! Because you are the core, the lives of all soldiers are in your hands, and your mistakes will cause irreparable losses! "Reinhardt's voice was indescribably serious and cold: "Now that you have joined the Mythical Legion, it means that you are no longer ordinary scientific researchers!"

"Remember, in the Mythical Legion, failure is absolutely not allowed! Your identity is the soldiers of the Mythic Legion, and you are one of us. You shoulder greater responsibilities than ordinary soldiers!" Reinhardt changed from his usual routine. The polite attitude towards scientists was very serious and determined the attitude of all the frightened researchers present. Everyone finally thought about what kind of legendary team the Mythical Legion was. After entering here, they were no longer just a scientific researcher, but a civilian soldier of the Mythic Legion! And here, corresponding to honorary status, are responsibilities and punishments!

Under Reinhard's sharp eyes as he spoke, all the expressions on the faces of these researchers were wiped away. Everyone knew that Reinhard was reminding himself of where he should be! The Mythical Legion is definitely not a place where you can come and leave as you please, and you can follow your own temper. Not to mention that this test did expose a major mistake in the laboratory. Adrian and the researchers, who had no confidence, stood with their hands down, not daring to take a breath.

"The test is over, everyone should go back to work." Reinhardt waved his hand to let the group of people in the core laboratory leave. He turned to the fat man and said, "Zhang Yuan, I hope you can enter the core laboratory and lead a team to cooperate with the machine." A’s development work.”

The fat man shook his head naively and said: "I'd better stay in the Paladin." These words only made George and Christina anxious. Why is this fat man so stubborn? What's wrong with entering the core laboratory? Already?

Reinhard wondered: "Why?"

The fat man curled his lips and said: "From what you just said, it seems that you are not very free. I think those guys are very scared. I don't want to make myself uncomfortable. I feel that I am very happy now..."

George almost fell ill. The fat man's logic really made people doubt whether he was a human being. What kind of honor is it to lead a team in the core laboratory of the Mythical Legion? It can be said that no matter what the fat man did, What a disaster! With his status, no one dares to touch a hair on his head without the permission of the Mythical Legion! As long as your work yields results, you can have whatever status, money, and reputation you want. Is there any place that provides more of these things than the Mythical Legion?

Seeing the fat man's disdain for the high-ranking official and his generous salary, Bonnie, who had been silent all the time, said angrily: "Where's all the nonsense? Are you going or not?"

The fat man was startled, glanced at Bonnie, his face suddenly turned red, and murmured: "If you let me go, then I will go." The bitch looked aggrieved and innocent, as if she really For the sake of my beloved Bonnie, I reluctantly agreed. Reinhard couldn't help laughing when he looked at Bonnie, and was so angry that Bonnie snorted and turned around to leave. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her urge to completely destroy this hateful fat man!

******************************************

You can imagine what the fat man will encounter when he reports to the core research room. After a casual welcome, the researchers dispersed and went about their own business. Even the group that belonged to Fatty didn't give Fatty a good look after Reinhardt and others who had brought Fatty left. They who were born in majors have a kind of arrogance in their bones, and they look down on these mechanics who come from the wild road. Unless the level of this mechanic has reached a level that they can't match. The fat man who only sees a hidden danger has obviously not shown such a thing. s level.

As if the fat man didn't see the faces of these researchers, he went into his office on his own, used the special password to call up the laboratory's confidential information and drawings, and looked at them enough. These things are treasures. If the federal spies want to obtain this information, it is almost an impossible task. But now, these things are so nakedly placed in front of him, and he can look at them however he wants. .

In the next few days, Fatty locked himself in the office every day when he went to work, looked at the drawings and information, and analyzed them one by one. From time to time, he called people in and gave him a small piece of paper with one or more mecha written on it. Design deficiencies. During this period of time, Fatty also gradually figured out the progress of the mecha design work. The notes sent out from time to time in the office also stated the problems that may arise in the current research and the solutions. After these notes were confirmed one by one by the researchers, they gradually became the most important instructions.

As far as psychology is concerned, in addition to professional level, there is also an important component in forming authority, and that is the sense of mystery. Gradually, Fatty's closed office became the most mysterious place in the core laboratory. The research team led by Fatty made research progress nearly twice as fast as other groups! If you have any doubts, there is almost no need to ask questions. The ideas and methods are written on the notes given in the office. Follow the instructions on the note, and the final outcome is always a surprising success. Fatty has established authority in his own way, and no one doubts his level anymore. In this field, he has too much experience. The mecha design plan began to move in the direction led by Fatty.

Looking at the eyes of these researchers who were becoming more and more respectful to him, Fatty sometimes thought, what if in the future the Gacharin Empire discovered that this mecha that contained countless advanced technologies was actually a hodgepodge that had spent all the most scarce resources? After rhenium resources, I realized that such mechas could only arm one division at most with the strength of the Gacharin Empire. Only when I went to the battlefield did I realize that the soldiers did not know as much about mechas as the federal soldiers on the opposite side, and they could even die. What will happen to these researchers when they are still unclear?

"Whatever, I'll have run away by then! It's unreasonable not to cheat on such a good opportunity. My conscience will never be at peace for the rest of my life." The fat man thought with emotion. The logic of this bitch's conscience is naturally incompatible with Different.

*********************************

Stephen looked at the electronic map of Lucerne, and kept touching the map with his fingers, switching deployment points. Lucerne was now in a mess, with imperial and federal troops intersecting and surrounding each other. Both sides used their full strength to strangle. Every day If printed out on paper, the battle damage report would be higher than a mountain. They were all battles between small units. These battles constitute this big battle!

Especially the Mount Amayo in the east. The two sides competed back and forth in this mountain range covering thousands of square kilometers. Almost every highland has changed hands more than ten times! The long-distance guidance bombs launched by land-based aviation fighters outside the air defense range have plowed these highlands. There are no fortifications on them. As long as the mechanized infantry is knocked out, the artillery and individual missiles are exhausted, they can only be defeated by the enemy. The mechas charged back and forth. Now, no one dares to send infantry to occupy these positions. The only ones fighting on the positions are armored troops.

Under Stephen's fingers, the map is constantly changing. This ability to quickly switch and analyze the map was taught by Liebgott. For the same situation analysis, Liebgott can use 50% less time than others. Time, in Stephen's opinion, Liebgot's brain is as accurate as a computer. He can completely imprint these terrain data in his mind with just one glance. The rapid cutting under his fingers can make these rigid The electronic map comes alive, and eventually a judgment of the overall strategic situation is formed in the mind. But I just learned a little bit.

"Teacher, would it be too risky to let go of Mount Amayo at this time?" Stephen turned his head and asked, looking at the thin Liebgot sitting on the sofa.

Liebgot slowly picked up the Irish coffee in front of him, touched the delicate lily pattern on the cup's rim with his fingers, and said calmly: "If we don't let go of this road now, how much support does the empire have to defend this place? He moistened his lips with coffee, smelled the fragrance floating in the cup and continued: "With Gacharin's strength, if he is led by the federation to fight in this place, then we will always suffer in the end. The war is fought." It’s about economy, it’s about strength, we can’t afford it.”

Stephen looked at the electronic map: "However, the deployment of the rear has not been completely completed. At this time..."

Liebgot glanced at the disciple who was worried about gains and losses, sighed and said, "Do you have more time?"

Stephen remained silent. Given the situation in the empire, there was indeed not much time left for him and his teacher to continue commanding this war. The military, which had finally begun to gain control, was already facing the purge of Emperor James. , this kind of purge is of course not paving the way for Stephen, but James' preparation for the final decisive battle.

Militarily, if there is not a timely victory to delay James, then the Gacharin Empire will be led into a path of no return by this emperor who is well versed in the art of emperors. Under the control of James, all international conflicts will be concentrated in the war between Gacharin and Leray. Lucerne is James' bottom line. If he finds that the situation is in danger of getting out of control, , he will not hesitate to implement his plan, and tie a political bomb on the entire Gacharin that is enough to kill his opponent! War is a continuation of politics. As long as there are benefits, James will not care about anything else, and Stephen himself will completely lose the chance to compete for the throne!

"The secret envoy sent to the Binart Empire has already set off? Perhaps, both you and George are wasting their efforts in this battle for the throne. Father, how can you be willing to become the last of the Gacharin Empire? An emperor?"

Stephen signed the combat order and strode out of the war room.

"At least, I'm not willing to give in!".
