"The test will start in ten minutes. All personnel are asked to leave the test area and watch in the designated area; please note that the test will start in ten minutes, please."
A pleasant female voice played repeatedly in the loudspeaker Announce and ask people to leave the test site. After all, it will be a big scene in a while.
Although the total height of GW-R is less than 40 meters, compared to a human being who is more than one meter tall and weighs 100 kilograms, it is a giant. It will be injured if it touches it, and it will die if it moves. Not to mention that weapons testing will be conducted soon, dangerous areas and safe areas must be designated.
While the loudspeaker was playing, the people gathered together were chatting and laughing as they came to the auditorium that was quickly decorated and sat in their respective seats.
After three consecutive sirens, everyone stopped whispering and sat upright, looking ahead, waiting for the performance of the behemoth who had been standing there for a long time.
Whether it succeeds or fails, it will be a 'wonderful' performance.
On the hillside next to GW-R, there are several tents set up. Many lines of different thicknesses connect the inside and outside. There is also a radar-like instrument the size of a car, pointed at the distance. GW-R.
Chiba Makoto held the telescope and looked at the GW-R in the distance, mainly looking at the cockpit located at the head. Asuka Nobu was sitting in it with an excited face, touching this and looking at this. Although the instrument layout is exactly the same as that of Feiyan 1Z, it is full of novelties.
Because this is a 'Gundam', a 'King Kong' that can transform.
At this time, the communicator in the helmet rang, and Horii's voice came from it: "Asuka team member, the test will start in one minute, how do you feel?"
"Excellent!"
Asuka said with a smile, his mouth could not close with joy, and said: "You can start at any time."
This was the only time he 'defeated' Fudo Ken. Not to mention feeling bad about the opportunity he had fought for, even if the sky fell and the earth fell, it could not stop him from experiencing Gundam.
The voice of Dr. Yatsuo also sounded, and his tone was very solemn, saying: "Originally, it was used for driverless driving, but there are too many new technologies, and it is difficult for intelligent programs to be like humans, but Asuka, Remember, if anything goes wrong, use the emergency escape system immediately. The lever is under your seat, remember?”
“Yes, I remember, doctor”
Asuka also answered seriously. At least he still knew. It was obviously for his own good to let him judge when to escape instead of waiting for orders.
Taking a deep breath, Asukaxin raised his hands and placed them on the left and right operating levers. Compared with the Feiyan-1Z, GW-R has an additional operating lever to serve as both arms. operation.
“For the time being, we can only use mechanical devices,” Horii said with regret in his words: “If we can wait a little longer, the somatosensory control device developed under the leadership of Dr. Asakage can be completed. By then."
"The GW-R will also need to be significantly modified by then. The existing cockpit cannot accommodate that big thing."
"There are also escape devices. The security system must be modified.”
Horii and Dr. Yao started discussing the next development of the GW-R. The cockpit is the core of the aircraft. The changes are so drastic that it is almost necessary to start over from scratch. All related systems must be changed accordingly. , this is a big project.
"I can't wait." Asuka said to himself, he started GW-R, and let GW-R, which had been stationary, start system self-check, and the armor on its limbs and body The boards are all moving to verify normal operation.
“Here it comes!”
All the audience were shocked, stopped whispering and discussing, and turned their eyes and telescopes to GW-R, only to see GW-R first raise its head. Raise your hands, then lift your left foot and let your right foot stand alone. After a few seconds of pause, put down your left foot and lift your right foot to stand alone. Boom!
Boom!
Every time you lift your foot or drop it, you can feel the slight vibration of the earth, followed by a dull sound. From this, you can imagine how loud the movement must be at the footing.
Just these two words made many people become serious.
A layman can watch the excitement, an expert can watch the door!
Standing on one leg and standing on alternate legs may seem like very simple actions, but they represent the balance of the body and the rapid coordination of the center of gravity, and are also a major test of the leg structure.
The more precise the structure, the smaller the fault tolerance. A problem with a small part may lead to the collapse of the entire load-bearing structure.
After finishing the activity on the spot, he squatted down and stood up. In the process, Asuka also did a fancy thing, that is, when he stood up, he jumped and hit the ground 'Duang' The sound made the dust fly, but it made everyone laugh, because it meant that the load-bearing capacity of GW-R was stable and reliable.
After the ‘recovery’ activity that lasted for half an hour, people on the hillside stopped smiling, because what was about to happen next was the most important and core transformation.
"Asuka, get ready, let's start," Chiba Makoto held up the telescope and said through the headset: "If anything goes wrong, escape immediately."
"Understood!" Asuka said, I took a deep breath and then drove the GW-R to the end of the valley. There was a spacious runway in front of me.
"Transform and fly, start!"
As soon as the last syllable of Asukaxin fell, GW-R opened its legs and started running in big strides.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The footsteps continued like firecrackers, and the vibrations on the ground made people unable to sit still. Some people simply stood up and watched, their mouths opening wider and wider.
They originally thought that the GW-R was transforming on the spot and then taking off vertically, but it turned out that this situation was like the plot in the movie, running and transforming into an airplane and then taking off?
Are you so confident?
This method is very cool and handsome, but it extremely tests the maturity of the technology. It must complete the deformation and take off in a very short time, otherwise, it will fall to the ground with a 'snap'.
It’s too risky.
There is a good show.
All the viewers opened their eyes wide so as not to miss the next exciting moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
GW-R is still running, hitting everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, making everyone nervous and watching GW-R intently, spinning as it moves. The members of the GW-R project were so nervous that their hands holding the telescope could not help but tremble, and their breathing seemed to have stopped.
Then, the value of the GW-R leg pressure sensor suddenly increased sharply, and even went red for a while, which made the technician in charge feel anxious and even forgot to breathe.
Because this means that GW-R has entered the last and most critical moment. It jumps high and then deforms in the air. This is also the moment when the body carries the highest load. If this passes safely, it means that GW -R is really successful, at least it is qualified as a large robot. (End of this chapter)
