330: Batch Copy

Tian Ming rapidly accelerated in the air; although the mech was enormous, it felt incredibly agile to control.

It could maneuver with 90-degree right-angle turns and even quickly turn around in place.

When ordinary fighter jets performed high-G maneuvers, the blood in the pilot's body would either pool in their legs or their head.

The physical quality of pilots was beyond reproach, but even excellent pilots were doing well if they could remain conscious at 9 Gs of acceleration.

Ordinary people might pass out from 4 or 5 Gs of overload.

Roller coasters, as thrilling as they were, wouldn't exceed 2 Gs of acceleration, yet with the mech, any maneuver would subject the pilot to a physical burden that ordinary people couldn't endure.

Tian Ming piloted the mech faster and faster, performing incredible maneuvers: high-speed ascents, accelerated descents, and even turning the mech directly around to fly back at maximum speed.

Inside the cockpit, the gauges and screens of various virtual instruments flashed frantically, indicating the immense pressure the mech was under.

The experts in the Command Center broke out in a cold sweat; they had never seen anyone pilot a mech like this.

Boom!

Tian Ming piloted the mech, plummeting directly from ten thousand meters in the sky, smashing into a low hill ten kilometers outside the perimeter wall like a meteor.

This impact caused the mech's instantaneous overload to reach 50 Gs, essentially equivalent to jumping directly from ten thousand meters in the sky.

Such a high overload momentarily stunned the internal components of the mech, and the entire mech's communication was cut for 3 seconds, but the mech system quickly performed a self-check, and communication resumed after three seconds.

“Director Lu, how are you?”

The experts inside the base were terrified; a sudden overload of 50 Gs would severely injure even a Superpower User.

The moment communication resumed, everyone was worried about Tian Ming.

“Haha, I’m fine, it was quite stimulating.

This mech is really durable; it didn’t fall apart even with all that abuse.

Tell me, what else needs to be tested?” Tian Ming couldn’t help but praise.

The experts in the Command Center exchanged glances and quickly said, “No more testing is needed; your various maneuvers just now have already collected enough data.

We have already conducted ground tests for the other systems.”

“You don’t need to worry about me; I’m fine.

I think I haven’t reached my limit yet.

This time, I’ll fly to thirty thousand meters in the sky, then accelerate down and see how big of a crater I can make?”

Everyone was surprised that Tian Ming would be so reckless.

But they had to admit that Tian Ming’s piloting skills were superb; every movement was fluid, as if he had completely merged with the mech.

“No, Director Lu, you might be able to handle it, but this mech can’t.

It’s not indestructible.” The technical staff quickly dissuaded him.

Tian Ming was fine, but if he kept playing around, the mech would definitely be broken by him.

“Alright, then I’ll fly the mech back.” After hearing the technical staff’s dissuasion, Tian Ming stopped the testing.

After all, this was a one-of-a-kind item; if he broke it, the technical staff might feel like strangling him.

Controlling the mech, he arrived at the base’s test platform and slowly descended.

Tian Ming climbed out of the mech’s cockpit.

Bai Yan was already waiting outside to greet him, accompanied by Cai Yuming, the chief designer of the mech.

“Director Lu, how do you feel?” Bai Yan quickly asked when he saw Tian Ming emerge from the mech.

Tian Ming nodded slightly and said, “It’s tough and durable, very good.

If we had a few hundred of them, during a zombie attack, we could try to precisely target and eliminate the enemy Corpse King.

It’s just a bit too big; if it were smaller, it might have even greater flexibility.”

Cai Yuming stepped forward and said, “Director Lu, there’s a smaller model, but its reactor power is a bit lower, and its deterrent power isn’t as great as this one.”

Tian Ming said, “Are your mech Laboratory’s data linked to the smart brain?”

Cai Yuming shook his head and said, “We’ve implemented physical isolation; it’s not connected to the smart brain.

We have our own dedicated industrial-grade AI servers.

While the smart brain is powerful, it can’t help much with specialized issues.”

“Go, set up a network cable and connect it for me.

Although your mech has strong durability, in my opinion, it’s still lacking a bit.

I plan to replace key parts with Nanometer Avatars, using nanometer technology,” Tian Ming said.

His Nanometer Avatar was essentially nanometer technology.

It’s just that the energy source of the Nanometer Avatar was somewhat fantastical.

But the principles were similar; it was just changing the controller from consciousness control to electrical signal control, which was much inferior to Tian Ming’s Nanometer Avatar, but relative to current technology, it was the most advanced stuff.

“Director Lu, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?

Nanometer Avatars, if you directly elevate the improvement like this, and we can’t produce them ourselves, it might cause a technological gap,” Cai Yuming said with some hesitation.

As the chief designer of the mech, Cai Yuming understood that if Tian Ming directly improved it, in terms of technology, it would undoubtedly skip many verification processes.

Although the mech would become more perfect, for scientific research and development, it was not a good thing.

Something that couldn't be manufactured, no matter how perfect, was still a unique item.

The greater the base’s reliance on Tian Ming, the more uncontrollable the risks became.

In the eyes of a rational scientist, especially the chief designer of the mech, what they wanted was complete autonomy and control.

Tian Ming glanced at Cai Yuming and said, “Don’t be so rigid; self-preservation is the most important thing right now.

Don’t think about solving everything yourselves; the materials used for this mech are beyond what you can handle.

First, survive.

I’ll build more advanced mechs; you can use them first, and once the manufacturing technology is overcome, then you can produce them yourselves.”

Cai Yuming couldn’t refute Tian Ming’s words.

Just speaking of Nanometer Avatar, its manufacturing was extremely difficult; how could closing the technological gap be as simple as Tian Ming made it sound?

Cai Yuming nodded slightly and said, “Alright, Director Lu is right; the pursuit of technology is endless.

Right now, survival is key.”

Cai Yuming revoked the data confidentiality, and Three read all the data from the Mech Research Institute.

Tian Ming, on his side, quickly understood all the design details of the mech.

Next, it was just copy and paste.

“Alright, I will use the rocks and soil excavated from the Underground City to build new mechs.

How many mech pilots do you have here?” Tian Ming looked at Bai Yan and asked.

Bai Yan nodded and replied, “Currently, the Super Legion has trained a group of mech pilots using virtual reality technology, about 120 people.”

Tian Ming frowned: “120 people, that few?”

“Director Lu, that’s all who meet the requirements.

With loads of 15 Gs or more at every turn, even among First-Class Ability User, not many meet the criteria.”

Tian Ming sighed slightly and said, “Alright, then I’ll make 300 units first.

If worst comes to worst, we’ll use Superpower Potion to strengthen a group of mech pilots.

Alternatively, we can set an overload limit in the software and treat the mech as a mobile gun platform and mobile fire support.”
