My machine combat simulator has come true

Whether it was Haidong, Zhenshang, or Aiji, they all considered Yu Xiao's "amnesia" situation and did not assign him any tasks.

This leads to him doing nothing now in the outside world...

However, this does not mean that there will be nothing happening inside Alves.

In front of the idle Yu Xiao, a subtle feeling suddenly came.

That's...he came to his senses.It wasn't brought about by "Machine Warfare VS" that synchronized with his own consciousness.

Rather, it comes from real life, the Siegfried system...

Cross connect?

Chapter 160

It is impossible not to be concerned about this fact.

So Yu Xiao cut out the game and handed over his avatar to the control of the simulated intelligence formed by the system.

...during this time, there should be no major problems.he thinks.

After returning to reality, Yu Xiao first lowered the power of the Siegfried system because he was afraid that a sudden in-depth spiritual connection would bring unsatisfactory consequences.

It allows him to spy on the other party's intelligence, but does not open a complete spiritual link, so that the other party will not be aware of it.

Its source is - Kalinin has mentioned it, and he has seen it himself.

In the cockpit of the only "Excalibur" Favna that is being trial-produced on the island.

However, Yu Xiao remembered that this machine was still far away from being completed.

Now the hands are not connected, and the rest of the hardware is still in the process of being completed.There is absolutely no way to attack.

That is to say...

The other party is just using the engine room to conduct simulation exercises, or start experiments or something.

It's not that there is an unexpected incident of foreign enemies attacking...

Thinking of this, Yu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

And then, with a curious attitude, he watched the content of this Favna's rehearsal.

That was—supposed to be a simulated battle?

Using the Nibelungen system in the Valrhona cockpit as an intermediary, after connecting to the main computer in the maintenance room, it is possible to conduct simulated battles in a virtual situation with real body sensations.

...and this pilot's driving technique, although a little rusty, reveals considerable talent.

Facing the simulated data of a Sphinx, he only used a standard long sword to attack.

Although he lost an arm in the end, he still cut off the monster in the end.

Considering that the other party was probably also a novice driver, this record was considered pretty good.

And he roughly calculated the actual time.I found that there is still some distance from the meeting time agreed with Haidong and his party in "Machine Warfare VS"——

Then, why not meet with the other party.He made up his mind.

After all, they are all objects that will form a synergy loop with the help of the Siegfried system.

There's no harm in getting to know each other while it's still early.

***

Relying on the route Lai Mi pointed out for him in memory, Yu Xiao came to the hangar accurately.

Looking up, the slender Favna Excalibur-shaped torso is being suspended on the maintenance stand.

It has not yet been officially painted so that the overall color tone is the iron gray of its armor material.Coupled with the appearance of having no hands, it looks a bit bleak——

But even if this is not the case, in the bottom of Yu Xiao's heart, seeing this Valrhona will not make him much interested as a mechanical nerd.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, the source app!It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

...It is true that he likes the work "Vavna of the Sky" very much.I also like the unique mechanism that Washio Naohiro wrote for him.

However, when this machine actually appeared in front of our eyes, words such as "kindness" or "beautiful" were not what people would think of.

Rather... "sacrifice".

Every time the core equipped Valrhona is driven, the assimilation phenomenon will gradually deepen on the operator.

It can be said to be the power that is exchanged for life-even if you don't die because of driving Favna, the chromosomal mutation produced will basically make the pilot's lifespan no longer than 30 years old.

It's like using people as consumables like "batteries".

Live up to the burden of "Vavna" - the name of the greedy dragon in Norse mythology.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiao sighed.

He also thought of the savior-type Favna pilot who had an assimilation link with him at the end.

I thought it was a game at first, so I didn't pay much attention at that time.

Now that I think about it... the opponent is also fighting with his life.If only I could know the other person's name at that time——

"Student Yu Xiao?"

At this time, a familiar voice from Yu Xiao called him back from his meditation.

"...Ah. Teacher Shioni?"

He was a little surprised at first.

But think about it... that's right.

According to the setting of the original work, all the adults are actually well-trained members of Alves.

It's not unusual to see each other here.

It's just that she's here. Could it be that she's actually the person in charge of the maintenance department or something...?

Yu Xiao stared at the other party.

Her face reveals the same tranquility as usual—however, it is difficult to hide some extra uneasiness.

Are you worried about something?

"...why would you. Um...here?"

And later she even spoke.

"——When I was testing the Siegfried system, I detected a cross-link signal. So let's see... Is the pilot who is going to take Favna in that machine? Or..."

"Oh. Speaking of the pilot of this machine..."

Shioni seemed to want to say something.But her eyes were a little hesitant.

"...It's still too early and maybe..."

She then whispered to herself.However--

Although it was whispering, maybe it was because of the quietness of the hangar and the better radio effect of the Favna Excalibur.

The driver of the Excalibur seems to have heard the whispered words.

"—It's okay. Shioni-sensei. Rather, the time now is just right..."

And from Favna, such words came.

"Me too. I'm ready."

When he first heard the voice, Yu Xiao's heart trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the face of the character wearing the island's unique coordination uniform stepped out of the cockpit at the waist of the Excalibur-type Favna——

…yes.Looking at the person who came, Yu Xiao thought a little uncomfortable.

Speaking of this Penglai Island, people who are similar in age to me, know the truth about the island, and can take on the responsibility of driving Favna...

not just him...

Only a man named "Bu Qing", right?

Why didn't he think of this possibility - no.Maybe it's just the brain's defense mechanism that made him subconsciously not want to think about this possibility.Yu Xiao thought.

But it doesn't make sense to dwell on the reasons.After all, what Yu Xiao faced was the reality of having to talk to the other party.

…Silence pervades the hangar.

Yu Xiao just pursed his lips.Take a small step forward - but then take two more steps forward.

Bu Qing, however, kept moving forward as if making some determination.

Finally, when the distance is close to almost the same.

"...I'm sorry. Maybe I..."

"—Sorry. What happened a few days ago..."

The two said in unison——

Apologize to the other party.

"…Aha?"

But in the end, it was the two who made surprise sounds together.

"...You don't need to apologize, Brother Step. This kind of thing..."

"No. Ah Xiao. Anyway, this is my responsibility..."

I was speechless for a while.And about 3 minutes after this happened.

"...Okay then. Well, I say."

But Yu Xiao spoke softly.The topic turned in another direction.

"—dinner. If you don't mind, how about coming to my house?—just like before."

In this regard, Bu Qing was a little surprised at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.

But following his startled expression, his expression turned calm and relieved.

"...Fine. If it doesn't bother you."

Then, as usual, he nodded with a smile.

And although they didn't say much, through this conversation, they both knew from the bottom of their hearts——

That friendship that was already formed.

It doesn't need to be repaired, and it will exist as strong as usual.

Chapter 160 VTX Joint Enterprise

After making an agreement, it was almost time to see the other side.

So Yu Xiao bid farewell to the other party, and then returned to the Siegfried system to start deep synchronization again.

...and sure enough.

After meeting at the designated location, Yu Xiao saw several mobile suits that had been transported into the container, as well as a large transport vehicle with sufficient horsepower and a cockpit that could carry two people.

Without further ado, everyone decided to set off immediately.Two people are responsible for driving the transport vehicle.

The remaining two people entered their own body, started it in low power consumption mode, and only turned on the radar detection function of the body to prevent any other people from attacking on the road—after all, this desert in the Middle East is not peaceful.

And from here to the address of the VTX joint venture, it will take at least a day and a night's journey.

So naturally, the shift was inevitable—

Zhenshang and Yu Xiao were appointed as the drivers in the first shift.Aiji and Haidong are in charge of body monitoring.

Yu Xiao, who was regarded as an amnesiac, naturally sat in the co-pilot.

Taking this opportunity, he asked Masami about matters related to the VTX alliance.

…unexpectedly, or rather expectedly.

This man, who had always acted sternly, took the trouble to answer him one by one.

- VTX Consolidated Enterprises.
