Chapter 6

Since the introduction of mechs as a combat weapon, they have had a profound impact on the development of military power in human civilization, especially during the early stages of interstellar development. At that time, the strength of individual humans was generally weak, and their survival, exploration, resource collection, hunting of various dangerous beasts, and even battles with extraterrestrial intelligent races on other planets all heavily relied on mechs.

With the rapid development of technology, a wide variety of powerful mechs were introduced one after another, and mech corps became one of the most important military units in various countries! They played an increasingly important role in wars of all sizes, often becoming the key force that determined the outcome of battles!

As human civilization expanded, economic and technological strength significantly improved, and with the maturation of genetic technology, the physical qualities of soldiers also increased. The first custom mech specifically designed for psychics was finally born.

After several centuries of development, high-level mechs have evolved into a vast academic system. There are thousands of different types of mechs with various functions, and their structures have become increasingly sophisticated, their classifications more detailed, and their functions more complete, playing an increasingly significant role on the battlefield!

In the four-dimensional projection, various specifications and purposes of mechs continuously flashed, accompanied by brief introductions such as the year of introduction, the designer's name, and general functions. Some classic models even had detailed explanations.

Due to technical limitations, early mechs were primitive and had single functions, mostly controlled by joysticks and keyboards. The speed of hand movements became an important standard for measuring the strength of mech warriors. Later, they evolved to touch screen control and neural pulse control systems, and with each generation, the efficiency of control and combat power steadily increased until the current popular source energy drive control system.

In addition to the mass-produced mechs used in the military, high-level psychic mechs are divided into levels from low to high, such as bronze, silver, and gold. Each level is further divided into different star ratings, corresponding to different levels of mech warriors.

These high-level mechs are difficult to mass-produce through industrial means and can only be custom-made by creators of high-level equipment based on the specific conditions of the users. Their characteristics are that they are few in number but have correspondingly astonishing power. Formations of high-level mechs often become the key force that determines the outcome of battles!

"… Before entering this military academy, you were all outstanding candidates sent by various immigrant cities. However, whether you can truly become talented depends on your performance in the academy!" Instructor Zhao Zirong said calmly.

"I might as well be frank with you. Among the tens of thousands of graduates each year, although most can join the military, only a fraction, less than one-thirtieth of the total, have the qualifications to become true mech warriors, and they are all relatively low-level mech warriors!"

"The reason for this is that combat mechs have extremely strict requirements for the physical qualities of their operators, and the academy's resources are limited, so it is impossible to cultivate every student equally!"

"Therefore, only 300 students among you will have the opportunity to become official mech warriors! And among them, only 15 will be selected as seed candidates, who will receive further cultivation and enjoy high-quality resources!"

The instructor's words immediately caused a significant reaction among the students.

In this era, every student entering the military academy dreams of becoming a mech warrior, piloting their own mech to gallop through the vast and magnificent starry sea, achieving great deeds, and expanding the territory of human civilization, fighting for survival space!

And those who can pilot high-level mechs are the dream of millions of young people! A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier! As long as there is a possibility, every mentally sound student hopes to be selected by the school and thus have the opportunity to join the ranks of the strong.

Although the students in the classroom tried to maintain a calm appearance, the intense desire in their eyes could not be concealed!

Qin Huang silently evaluated the situation. The 300 official mech warrior slots and the more challenging 15 seed candidate slots among the current students were roughly one in a thousand.

To become one of the 15 elite seed candidates of the military academy, one basically needs to have a certain level of source energy, in other words, without a gene talent of B level or higher and a source energy index exceeding 20, there is no point in hoping!

Of course, as long as one becomes one of them, not only will they receive significantly more growth resources than other students, but after graduation, they can also enter higher-level academies for further study. As long as they do not die prematurely, they will definitely become elite figures in the human world and naturally enter the upper echelons of society.

"Boss, do you have confidence?" Wu De whispered beside him.

He knew that Qin Huang's gene talent was B+, which was not too bad but also not excellent. This was the test result from half a year ago, and it might not be accurate now. However, his friend's unusual behavior over the past few months made him quite worried.

Qin Huang smiled and said, "I think I have a certain level of confidence. Of course, you are not bad either. As long as you work hard, you might have a chance to compete!"

Wu De shook his head and said, "You know the results of our last test. We both have C+ gene talent, and our source energy index is less than 9. There is no way we can be selected! If we can secure a regular mech warrior slot in the future, we will be very satisfied!"

The gene talent classification standards are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, corresponding to various important physiological indicators of the human body, with a comprehensive value determined by a rigorous evaluation system. F and G levels are for civilians, D and E levels are for ordinary soldiers, C level is for low-level mech warriors and elite soldiers, and only B level and above are considered to have entered the threshold of ordinary strong individuals, with the potential to become high-level mech warriors.

Of course, above A level, there are elite, S, SS, and legendary levels. People with such talent are true geniuses for the entire human race, the core essence of civilization! They will receive special attention and preferential treatment in any major power.

Qin Huang said calmly, "Don't worry too much. At our age, gene talent is not unchangeable. As long as we can pass the final assessment, we will have a chance!"

Wu De smiled bitterly and said, "We know that, but to comprehensively improve and optimize our physical condition, besides high-intensity training, we need a lot of precious resources, which we cannot afford."

They were from modestly wealthy families, and although they had some spare money, it was impossible to support the cultivation of two high-level mech warrior candidates.

On the other side, Liu Caihui looked at his backer, his lips moving slightly, but he did not know how to speak. With his strength, becoming a regular mech warrior was not a problem, but getting a slot for focused cultivation was a very slim chance.

Xiao Pingyue glanced at him and said, "What are you worried about? I recently obtained a set of Tianyuan Body Strengthening Techniques, a high-level method of the荒级 (Huang level) that my family worked hard to get for me! I'll show you a few chapters. As long as you work hard, you will have a chance!"

"Boss, there is no one better than you!" Liu Caihui said with deep gratitude.

The current psychic cultivation methods are divided into four grades and twelve levels: Yu, Zhou, Hong, and Huang. After the collapse of the Star Abyss Alliance, human civilization's strength significantly regressed, and many precious traditions were lost, with many top-level cultivation secrets being forgotten. Only the oldest large families or major organizations have some records. Xiao Pingyue's family obtaining a high-level Huang method is already a very good cultivation resource!

Even the powerful senior instructors in the military academy mostly cultivate methods of this level. As for ordinary students, they basically only have the most basic entry-level methods to learn.

Time passed quickly, and by noon, when the class ended, Xiao Pingyue leisurely walked over, blocking Qin Huang who was about to leave, and said with a smile, "Are you interested in a match? A network mech battle, bronze level, 95% realism!"
