Chapter 104 It’s time to show real skills
Among the three HCPs prepared by backup Gnakuri, Amber is the fastest one.
After rushing into the Gnaku, the maintenance team did not even need to communicate, and rushed directly to the location of Unit 1 closest to Amber to carry out various pre-startup tasks.
They also know that the other two HCP pilots are real rookies. After all, outstanding talents will be assigned to various fleets first.
Most of the HCP pilots who remain on the surface are unable to adapt to space operations, or their skills can only be used on the ground.
Therefore, it is obvious that if these two rookies are allowed to take the lead in completing preparations and attack, the only way is to add two more down marks on the shoulder armor of the menacing Imperial HCP outside.
Psychic agents are different.
An excellent HCP pilot is not necessarily a psychic agent, but a psychic agent is definitely an excellent HCP pilot.
These guys, whose abilities, especially spatial perception, were originally superior to ordinary people, after undergoing body modification, are able to drive HCP like a duck in water.
So the people in the maintenance team naturally know how to prioritize the maintenance work.
Naturally, there is no process that needs to be unlocked for these three ‘Steppenwolves’.
In other words, except for extremely confidential equipment, this kind of conventional military equipment basically does not have a complicated identity verification process. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous for you to use facial recognition if you were to be dispatched in an emergency.
Being able to enter here and activate this Gnaku through the identity verification at the gate already shows that the user has the corresponding permissions.
"Warrant Officer Amber, what configuration do you want to use?!"
The squad leader of the maintenance squad asked loudly while climbing onto the gantry crane next to the HCP.
"Standard ground combat configuration, with additional jet components on the legs!"
Amber answered, and with the help of another maintenance soldier, he put on a one-piece heavy-duty hydraulic anti-gravity suit. .
“Understood, sir!”
The three ‘Steppenwolves’ stored in the Gnaku are obviously maintained by maintenance teams on a regular basis.
Not only did each component look normal, there were no signs of lack of maintenance, even the maintenance team leader discovered that this Steppenwolf even had a superconducting battery stack after connecting it to his personal terminal through the external interface. 80% remaining power.
So in this case, the maintenance process of the entire machine has been shortened a lot.
With several robotic arms, the 'standard ground combat configuration' Gauss rifle, small shield, plasma heavy sword, folding heavy particle cannon, and folding electromagnetic reconnection cannon were installed in the HCP's weapon rack. on the shelf.
Amber also put on a heavy-duty hydraulic anti-gravity suit, stepped on the pedals on the boarding cable to rise to the cockpit, and then got in.
Several cables on the seat were automatically connected to the interfaces on the arms, legs, and back of the anti-gravity suit after he sat down.
When the cockpit door is lowered and closed, the spherical screen of the full-circle cockpit also lights up immediately.
Amber saw the squad leader of the maintenance team standing on the fixed support that was slowly moved away, giving him an 'everything is okay' gesture.
Immediately afterwards, Lilith’s virtual image also appeared in the cockpit.
After this AI was connected to the body, it immediately replaced the original combat auxiliary AI.
"Lilith, enter the emergency startup process, and the self-test program skips items three, six, nine, and eleven."
"The control system is activated, select the default mapping value, subcritical The reactor began to inject proton beams, and the plasma propulsion array was activated urgently."
If you want to ask Amber what her favorite thing is to do in the game "Starry Sky".
He will definitely say without hesitation: "Open the big robot!"
In his previous life in the game, apart from guild battles and daily life, his favorite thing to do was to drive the HCP Jump from low orbit to participate in various battles. Since he traveled to this world, he has not touched an HCP for more than a month, and his whole body has already become itchy.
So when the thumbnails representing each module of the HCP turned green one by one on the panoramic display, the control operating system was completely connected to his body.
Amber felt like she was reborn.
"The subcritical reactor is working normally, each subsystem is working normally, and the weapon system has completed storing electricity!"
"Master, it is ready to go!"
Rudolph no matter what I didn't expect that I had carefully done my homework on anti-psyker combat, and deliberately drove a new aircraft that had been 'specialized against psykers', and then found the target with the support of friendly units.
The first battle we faced was an HCP battle.
"NND, this script is wrong."
Faced with the Steppenwolf rushing out of the smoke wielding a heavy plasma sword, Rudolph put away his gun, set up his shield, and activated the deflection force without even thinking about it. field, and then also took off the physical sword from behind.
Although the area and height of the entrance to the Gnaku are very spacious for people, it is still a bit small for the 9-meter-tall HCP.
So in the absence of space for dodge and displacement, facing an HCP charging at high speed with a sword drawn, Rudolph could only switch to melee weapons and enter combat.
But just after two moves, Rudolph realized something was wrong.
The actions of the HCP on the opposite side were really weird.
To be specific, it doesn’t feel as stiff as a regular pilot piloting an HCP with AI assistance, but it’s like an enlarged human being holding a sword and slashing at you.
The only people who can do this kind of action are those hardcore pilots who have undergone whole-body transformation surgery and have many interfaces reserved on their bodies, and
"Fuck, Ling The capable one."
After this idea popped into his mind, Rudolph got out of the fight without hesitation and fled towards the passage he came from.
He has imagined too many scenarios of his second confrontation with Amber before.
But I never thought that Amber would also be on HCP.
"So how come there are well-prepared HCPs in this base area?!"
No wonder Lieutenant Rudolf retreated without a fight.
In fact, the HCP driven by psykers, both in reaction speed and accuracy of action mapping, far exceeds that of conventional pilots.
It's like you're wearing seven or eight thick cotton clothes and trousers, with sandbags tied to your hands and feet.
The other side looked like he was only wearing a pair of underpants.
"'Peridot'! I need support here, and also notify friendly forces to send more HCPs. This guy is a bit tricky!"
"Roger, 'Volcanic Stone' is heading towards my position. Come closer, I will come to support you. "
'Peridot' on the bridgehead pulled out his plasma sword from the turret of a mammoth.
Looking at the Mammoth, the last remaining electromagnetic reconnection cannon that was damaged and covered with scars, and the surviving Wolf Spider Kai next to it.
'Peridot' said through the loudspeaker: "You miscellaneous fishes, your fortune is good today"
Then he rushed towards the position where Rudolph's body sent the signal.
