Steel Chang'an

Chapter 31

"After the previous actual battle with the Jin Ge team, it can be seen that your hand speed still has a lot of room for improvement." Before the class, Li Jing first commented on Mu Yun's current state.

"During the time when the Yinjin Ge team was on the broken bridge, your hand speed had a small explosion, and you went directly to 300," Li Jing analyzed the data shared by Wuming and Xifeng, "although this hand speed remains It’s not a long time, but it can be seen that your operation is still very stable under the high explosive hand speed. This is not easy, it shows that your brain can completely keep up with the rhythm of the hand, and it also proves that your hand speed will continue to grow in the future. can continue to improve.”

Li Jing coughed and continued: "But your disadvantages are also obvious. When you are dealing with the four Golden Cicada mechas and your hand speed is suppressed below 100, the problems exposed are very serious."

Exposed problems?Mu Yun was taken aback, was there anything he didn't do well?He recalled the situation when he faced four Golden Cicada mechs alone, and he could maintain zero battle damage at a low hand speed, which was equivalent to making accurate predictions on all the opponent's moves.He achieved the most efficient results with the least operations.

In other words, Mu Yun thought that he had performed beyond the standard, but Li Jing said that he had exposed serious problems...

"Actually, I already vaguely felt this problem when I first fought against you in Tongque Terrace," Li Jing said, "It's just that the mecha you used at that time was a special mecha with strong sniper type. Your Strategic intentions are basically achieved by long-range attacks, so I can't judge your melee level based on that battle alone. Afterwards, outside Chang'an City, you can explode ten mechs in one go, relying on the use of The tactical design of the terrain—in other words, until I see that your hand speed is suppressed below 100, I have no way of judging your melee level."

"Wait," Mu Yun suddenly reacted, "You asked me to keep my hand speed below 100 to observe my melee level?"

"The main purpose is to confuse the opponent by the way." Li Jing readily admitted.

"You..." Mu Yun suddenly felt a resentment in his chest: At that time, he was one against four, and his hand speed was kept below 100. As long as he made a mistake in judgment, he would be blown away by the opponent in minutes.Therefore, he was really performing with his life, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat. What happened?It turned out that luring the enemy was just incidental. The main reason why he fought so hard was that Li Jing wanted to observe his melee level!

At this moment, Mu Yun didn't have the mood to respect his teacher at all. Facing Li Jing's smiling face, Mu Yun just wanted to explode and punch him flying!

But before that, he had a more concerned question: "Then... what do you think of my close combat skills?"

"Do you really want me to say it straight?" Li Jing scratched his nose, "As a teacher, I think it's better to be gentle in the first lesson, so as not to discourage students' enthusiasm."

"Speak directly!" Mu Yun clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth.In front of Li Jing, what is respecting teachers?have no idea!
"Let's put it this way," Li Jing still planned to be tactful, "When your hand speed is suppressed below 100, do you feel that it is very difficult to fight?"

"That goes without saying!" Mu Yun had already started grinding his teeth.

"Well, I think so." Li Jing stroked his chin, "I can see how hard you are in the mecha from the ugly posture you make."

You also know that I play very hard!Mu Yun was complaining angrily in her heart, and the words that came out of her mouth were a bit loud, "Could it be that if it were you, you would be able to play well?"

"Of course." Unexpectedly, Li Jing replied without hesitation, "If it was me back then, a hand speed of 70 would be enough to deal with those guys in the Jin Ge team. Even if it is me now, a hand speed of less than 100 More than enough." As he spoke, Li Jing shook his head, "Comparing my poor melee combat skills with yours is completely meaningless, they are not at the same level."

Speak out!Speak out!He just said that!Mu Yun rolled her eyes wildly in her heart: You agreed to be gentle with me?What is the difference between you and straight talk!

"Boss is still so straightforward..." Even Su Sheng murmured in a low voice.

Fortunately, Mu Yun is not the kind of arrogant and arrogant character of the young wolf master, and he can always hold his breath in critical situations, but it is inevitable that he will not be calm when he meets Li Jing.After calming down, I finally decided to ask for clarification——

"The melee level you mentioned...what the hell is going on?"

"It seems that you really don't understand at all." Li Jing said, feeling quite emotional, "If those knights who were defeated by you, especially my ambitious old subordinate Zhuo Renyue , Knowing that I lost to a rookie who doesn't know anything, I'm afraid I will be very unwilling."

A rookie who knows nothing...

Mu Yun was dumbfounded by what Li Jing said.The time he had piloted a mecha was indeed very short. Before the White Horse City was broken, he had no experience in piloting a mecha at all.But his starting point was very high. The first mecha he piloted was a [-]-ton special mecha.

What's more, since the White Horse City was broken, he stuck to the agreement with the young city lord Mu Chuan, driving the armor Xifeng, and walking on this continent.Apart from losing to Li Jing in Tongque Terrace, he hadn't tasted defeat yet.

Because of this, Mu Yun is still very confident about her level.In Mu Yun's own opinion, although his level is not as good as that of Li Jing, the number one knight in the past, he may not lose in a one-on-one duel with any of the top [-] knights in the continent other than Li Jing.

But in Li Jing's mouth, he became a rookie who didn't understand anything...

Although Mu Yun had expected that what Li Jing said would not be very pleasant, it was hard to hear this... Even Mu Yun's always strong little heart felt like it was shattered into pieces.

"Boss, even if you are telling the truth, what you said is too harsh..." Su Sheng turned his head and looked at Mu Yun's frozen expression, and said cautiously, "I know Mu Yun was beaten by you before, But it is also true that he played ten out of Chang'an, and he played well against the Jin Ge team in Wu Ge City before!"

"It's opportunistic to fight ten of them outside Chang'an City. What does it have to do with his level of machine warfare?" Li Jing said coldly, "As for the fact that he played well against the Jin Ge team, that's because the opponent is too weak."

"So in your eyes, I'm totally worthless, right?" Hearing the disdain in Li Jing's tone, Mu Yun also felt a deep sense of humiliation, and asked self-destructively.

"That's not true." Li Jing said seriously, "As I said before, your hand speed has room to improve, your explosive power is good, and your judgment is very strong. These are your advantages. If you don't even have these advantages Yes, I will not waste my words here, I will teach you a lesson."

Then I still really thank you!You have spent so much time to attack me, but your daring is still based on the fact that you think highly of me!Mu Yun rolled her eyes in her heart.

"But!" Li Jing changed the subject, "Just like I said before, if you want to become a real knight, you still have a long way to go."

"The you now, not only don't know how to become a real knight, you don't even know how to control a mecha." Li Jing continued, "The you before, because you were driving a strong The sniper-type special mecha, with its long-range attack capability and the tactics that have been simulated and drilled in advance, covers up the weakness that you have not yet learned how to control the mecha. It is also because of this that you mistakenly think that you are already a qualified knight , Complacent about my own level.

"But when you use the most primitive zero-type mecha, there are not so many fancy long-range attack methods for you to use, and you can only rely on close combat to deal with the enemy. At this time, your true level will be exposed.

"Fortunately, facing the Jin Ge team this time, we already know that Wu Ge City will definitely send chasers, so we can make a tactical layout in advance. In addition, although your level is not very good, your opponent is even worse. , so it did not cause serious consequences, causing you to feel good about yourself until now.

"But the next opponent is not that simple. I'm afraid you won't be given the opportunity to formulate a battle plan in advance. At that time, the only thing you can rely on is your own real strength.

"I said before that you are not good at melee combat. You are a rookie who doesn't understand anything. You are still not convinced. If I tell you now, it depends on your current level. Whether it is the Snow Wind Knights of the Northwest Wolf or the Chang'an Knights Sending a knight, even with a zero-type mecha that is exactly the same as yours, can kill you in a minute and a half, are you even more unconvinced?"

Combo, this is a combo!Su Sheng was a little agitated when he heard it, turned his head to look at Mu Yun, and saw him standing there stiffly, his hands clenched into fists.Su Sheng was also not very good at judging, with Mu Yun's personality, was he going to explode in silence, or was he going to turn around and leave in silence.

Li Jing didn't finish his sentence yet, "If you think I'm wrong, you might as well go on the road now, we'll part now, and the zero-type mecha will belong to you, it's your wages along the way. With your current skills, With his own mecha, even if he can't become a real knight, it is not difficult to make a living under the hands of a small lord in a small place like Wuge City.

"But if you plan to go on with us, you'd better hold back your anger, be willing to worship me as a teacher, study hard, and let me become a real knight without hesitation. After all, the road ahead will be difficult Go, I don't want to drag you to die."

I didn't need to accompany you to die!Isn't it you who fooled me into going on the road together?Mu Yun cursed in his heart.

Listening to Li Jing's chatter, Mu Yun just wanted to treat him like a fly.What Li Jing said before was harsher than each sentence, and Mu Yun's mood was extremely bad, but with his personality, even if he was insulted face to face, he would not sneer back. It is not his style to speak quickly.

He likes to slap his face with practical actions, so that those who think he is bad can see his true strength.Therefore, after listening to Li Jing's words, Mu Yun really had the idea of ​​walking away: If you say I can't do it, then I will prove it to you, you are wrong!

But after hearing Li Jing's last two sentences, Mu Yun didn't want to leave.

Because he understood that although Li Jing's words were not pleasant, they were thinking of him.If he doesn't improve his level, the road ahead will be dangerous, and he will be the one to suffer.

For Li Jing's skill, Mu Yun has always been convinced.But for Li Jing's character, Mu Yun has been skeptical all the way.The reason why he followed them on the road was only because he was short of money, and he didn't expect a person who always used him as a target to attract firepower to lead him to become a real knight.Therefore, even though they walked together, received advice from Li Jing, and even fought side by side with him, Mu Yun never really considered worshiping Li Jing as his teacher deep in his heart.

Ruthless, cunning, stingy and venomous, this is Mu Yun's impression of Li Jing all along.

Mu Yun didn't want to take such a person as his teacher, and he never thought that taking this guy who lacked chivalry as his teacher—even if he was once the number one knight in the world—could make him a real knight.

But, thinking about it carefully... At that time outside Chang'an City, apart from Li Jing's trick, how else could they escape from the [-]-ton special mecha?If Li Jing hadn't called him to go on the road with him at that time, and he had stayed in Chang'an alone, how could he have resisted the pursuit of the Northwest Wolf and the Chang'an Knights?As for the fact that he always felt that Li Jing was stingy, and fooled him into going on the road with him just to make him a free laborer, then in just a few days, he had already earned a mecha, and another boss might not have the same treatment.

Could it be that... when Li Jing called him to go on the road together, he actually realized that he was desperate, so he displayed his chivalry?Those seemingly ruthless words are actually to take care of my self-esteem, so that I can avoid the embarrassment of being favored by others?As for the vicious tongue that hit me repeatedly just now, it was also to make myself correct my attitude and face up to my own problems, so as not to encounter a real strong enemy at that time, and I would go up to die for no reason?

Could it be that under Li Jing's seemingly ruthless, cunning, stingy, and venomous appearance, there is actually a noble heart full of chivalry?

knightship……

To be honest, Mu Yun really didn't want to admit that there was any relationship between Li Jing and this word, but at present, it seems that the truth of the matter is really like this...

What's more, after being in contact with Li Jing during this period of time, Mu Yun also somewhat understood in her heart: Although Li Jing has a poisonous tongue, he is a down-to-earth person.In other words, Li Jing's venomous tongue was nothing more than unflattering truth.

So, the real problem is still in yourself, right?Mu Yun thought with some reluctance that although Li Jing's way of speaking just now was radical and shocking, it really succeeded in forcing him to face the problem.

Sighing, Mu Yun finally raised his head and looked at Li Jing, "It's okay to convince me, but if you say that I don't know how to really control a mecha, you have to tell me how to understand it..."

Although she already wanted to ask Li Jing for advice humbly, when she opened her mouth, Mu Yun was also taken aback by her rough voice.After all, you are still a little unconvinced, right?This tone, no matter how it sounds, seems to be provocative...

Li Jing didn't care about his attitude, he still looked listless, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Well, let's start with the relationship between mechas and people..."

What the hell, it suddenly raised the question to a philosophical level!In an instant, Mu Yun began to suspect that the chivalry he imagined just now was all an illusion.

Fortunately, Li Jing quickly continued to ask the next question, "Let's put it this way, do you know why the mecha is designed in human form?"

Why should the mecha be designed in human form... Mu Yun has never thought about this question.

Since the mecha civilization ruled the Pangu Continent, among the mechas used for combat, humanoid mechas have always been the mainstream.Like the centaur cavalry of the Northwest Canglang, the quadruped mecha with a human body and animal legs is already considered an outlier among the mechas on the mainland, not to mention the mechas that completely abandon the characteristics of the human body.

"You know, long before the mecha civilization appeared on the Pangu Continent and the mechanical civilization ruled the Pangu Continent, those mechas that didn't need human knights to drive inside almost didn't have an anthropomorphic form. After all, if you want to talk about stability and mobility, the bipedal design of the mecha chassis does not perform as well as quadrupeds or even hexapods in high-speed actions and complex terrains; if it comes to the number and weight of weapons carried, humanoid mechas are also far weaker than other non-human mechas As for the combat capability in the air and underwater, the humanoid mecha is even more incomparable with the streamlined design of the non-human mecha..."

It seems that Li Jing didn't expect Mu Yun to answer this question, so he continued on his own, "Humanoid mechas, in terms of combat power alone, may be lower than non-human mechas. The cost of humanoid mechas is much higher than that of non-human mechas. Therefore, in the early days of the mecha civilization era in Pangu Continent, there were also a large number of non-human mecha designs.

"However, with the passage of time, most of these non-human mechas have disappeared, and the few that have survived have become exhibits in museums. In the end, it is the mechas with humanoid designs that have become the mainstream of the battlefield. The reason for this is ,only one--

"Because the knight who drives the mecha is a human! And the human itself is a precise, efficient and perfect mecha!"

Speaking of human beings, Li Jing, who has always been listless, seems to have a bit of passion in his voice, "If you think of human beings as a mecha, then its sensor system, power system, protection system, command system, and resource management system ...The various systems cooperate and support each other, the compact and harmonious integrity and the efficiency of precise operation are incomparable to any internal system of a mech!

"From the human body's perception of external information, to information processing and analysis, until the command system gives instructions, which are transmitted to the execution parts through the nervous system, the whole process is almost simultaneous. Because of this, the instinctive reaction speed of the human body is the fastest of any A purely mechanical mecha is incomparable, and the potential that the human body can unleash under special circumstances is even more impossible for any mechanically operated mecha.

"Although mechas designed in human form are not as good as non-human mechas in terms of maneuverability, stability, defense and other important indicators of combat effectiveness, they can be directly connected to the human body through the neuron system, allowing humans to use their own Maximizing the ability, turning the impossible into the possible, this is the biggest advantage of the humanoid mech after sacrificing other advantages!
"In other words, a knight who really knows how to control a mecha will definitely know that only by achieving the state of human-machine integration and using the mecha as the continuation of his body, can the mecha give full play to its greatest advantages in battle! "

As Li Jing said, he raised a finger and pointed straight at Mu Yun: "And you, in battle, only know how to use your brain, but don't know how to use your body. It's just giving up your biggest advantage to the other party!
"Because of this, when your hand speed is suppressed below 100, it will be very difficult for you to operate the mecha, because you don't know how to use your body to control the mecha. This is why When I said that your melee skills are terrible, I exposed the reason why you don't know how to really control a mecha at the time!

"And when facing a powerful enemy on the battlefield, if you don't know how to really control the mecha, no matter how sophisticated your tactical layout is, you may not have any chance to use it at all! Because you regard the mecha as a Even if the time consumed by mechanical operations of dead objects is only 0.1 second, it is enough for your opponent to seize the gap and put you to death!"
