Chapter 552 - 552 Advanced Mech Combat Technique
552 Advanced Mech Combat Technique
Wu Mo nodded and walked onto the stage.
At this moment, he had transformed into an ordinary teacher. He felt deeply satisfied as he looked at the young and determined faces below the stage.
These young people were the future pillars of China. They would shoulder the sacred mission of defending China and become outstanding mech pilots, who would fight the sea monsters to death.
Wu Mo understood that once the sea monsters were eliminated, mechs would gradually disappear from history’s stage.
Unless there was a threat to humanity, these giant killing machines could not be revealed so easily.
These eighty youngsters were top students who had been carefully selected by the school. They had known for a long time that Chief Engineer Wu would be their guest speaker.
They also understood that this class was of great significance to their lives.
Everyone sat upright and listened attentively to Wu Mo. They picked up their notebooks so that they could jot things down at any time.
Finally, Wu Mo began his lecture.
“Good afternoon, students. I’m Wu Mo. Today, I’m here to share my knowledge and experience in mech piloting with all of you. Please feel free to ask questions during the lecture. We can communicate and learn from each other.”
Every student was filled with admiration when they heard Wu Mo’s humble words.
He showed them what it meant to have foresight. Despite being a great pioneer and a top figure in the mech scientific research community, Wu Mo still maintained a humble attitude and advocated learning from his students.
No wonder he could reach such heights!
Principal Liu and the other heads also approved Wu Mo’s low-key opening speech.
They were determined to learn from Wu Mo in the future.
Following that, Wu Mo began to talk about the cause and effect of a mech’s birth.
He first recalled his original intention of creating a mech before he described the arduous process of developing it.
In the end, he expressed his vision: Once mech piloting became a common occupation, he hoped that the sea monsters would be completely eradicated and peaceful days would return to China.
He hoped that the mech pilots would always remember their original intentions and use their knowledge to protect China.
Wu Mo’s words were met with thunderous applause!
The applause spread throughout the entire research building, and students outside on the field were envious of those in the classroom.
They looked at the classroom with eagerness, as they wanted to become a member of Wu Mo’s class.
Next, there was a question-and-answer session. One after another, the elite students stood up to ask Wu Mo for advice.
Their questions revolved around mech piloting since Wu Mo was undoubtedly an authority figure in the area.
Besides, Wu Mo had personally created all the mechs. He knew the purpose of every component and design.
He patiently answered the students’ questions about mechs and gave them a chance to clear any doubts they had.
Not only did the elite students gain a lot, but even the teachers and Principal Liu benefited.
“So that’s how it is…”
All the teachers nodded.
In the past, they were somewhat confused about the mech field. Thanks to Wu Mo’s explanation, they had no more doubts.
The class was about to end when Wu Mo suddenly said, “Students, I heard that there are a few mechs on the field behind us. In that case, why don’t we go down and give them a spin?”
Once they heard this, the students were extremely excited!
“Alright, Chief Engineer Wu! We all want to see how you pilot a mech!” a student blurted out.
A chance to personally witness Wu Mo operating a mech at such close proximity was a rare opportunity in China!
Principal Liu and the teachers were quite surprised too.
Wu Mo was supposed to leave immediately after the lecture ended. They dared not force such a busy person to stay too long.
They never thought Wu Mo would take the initiative to add another lesson for the students by demonstrating his mech operating skills.
Principal Liu immediately ordered the teachers to go down and prepare accordingly.
Wu Mo then led the eighty elite students to the combat field.
At this moment, there were also a couple of other students on the field.
The five large mechs before Wu Mo were ordinary and useless in actual combat against sea monsters. Nevertheless, the structure of their system was no different from the more advanced mechs.
All the students were shocked to see Wu Mo.
When they heard that he was going to demonstrate his mech operating skills, they were ecstatic.
There were about two hundred people on the field. They sat in a circle, and the atmosphere was tense.
No one said a word because their eyes were focused on one of the large mechs!
Wu Mo walked into the mech’s cockpit, closed the hatch, and examined the operating system before him.
Inside, Wu Mo skillfully manipulated the control buttons and bars. It was no different from the first generation mech he had created, Zero.
“Students, you already understand a mech’s basic movement patterns and offensive maneuvers,” he said calmly through the voice transmission device.
“Now, I’m going to show you a more advanced combat technique.”
“What? Advanced combat technique?”
The moment they heard Wu Mo’s words, everyone was rendered speechless. They stared ahead, as they were afraid of missing any exciting detail.
Principal Liu and a few teachers were also nervously waiting for Wu Mo’s demonstration.
Suddenly, Wu Mo’s mech began to move!
The mech raised its left arm and stabbed it forward at an extremely tricky angle and speed.
It was as if a brave and fearless god of war had appeared, and it was fighting a sea monster.
Based on the way it moved, it looked like the mech was stabbing a sea monster in the chest.
Immediately after, the mech made a blocking motion with its right arm as if it was blocking the sharp claws of a sea monster.
Then, its two arms quickly switched positions. It gently pushed its right arm forward and slashed the air. Following that, it raised its left arm and seemingly blocked another attack from the sea monster’s other claw.
Finally, it crossed its arms and formed a pincer-like attack. It was so fast that it emitted a whistling sound.
Wu Mo quickly ended his demonstration. He withdrew his mech and stood up straight.
It was incredibly still, as though it never moved.
There was pindrop silence as everyone on the field looked at what had just happened in shock. Their minds went blank.
It seemed like they were still recalling the simple but shocking switch from attack to defense, and back to attack again at the end.
Which sea monster could block such a move in combat?
Clap, clap, clap…
Soon after, there was a big round of applause. With Principal Liu leading the charge, every student and teacher clapped their hands sincerely.
“This is wonderful and too exciting!” Principal Liu said emotionally.
“Chief Engineer Wu’s demonstration has benefited us greatly. We will record those movements in the training center’s manual!”
Wu Mo nodded slightly, but his demonstration was not over yet.
He was planning to teach the students a few advanced techniques in one go. That way, the training center could obtain a precious teaching resource.
“Everyone, please pay attention. Next, I’ll show you how to pursue an enemy through complex terrain!”
Obviously, Wu Mo was trying to show them how to dispatch an enemy.
When fighting, sea monsters had a tendency of hiding in complex terrain, such as coves or areas with dense reefs.
At times like these, a pilot’s technique and agility in operating the mech would be tested.
There were many complex digital terrains on the training ground before Wu Mo, such as uneven areas and spots with wooden stakes as well as plum blossom piles.
All of a sudden, Wu Mo drove his mech into the sand.
He pressed a button, and two huge wheels as well as two hard boat-shaped plastic sheets extended from the bottom of the mech. Using the rotation of the wheels and the friction from the plastic sheets, the mech managed to move quickly across the sand.
