Because everyone was really eager to see how this machine performed in battle, they all requested to begin the testing immediately.
Even the most easygoing characters had become battle maniacs after more than six years of the apocalypse, and a combat robot that could execute nearly a hundred different attack maneuvers was incredibly appealing to them.
After asking Le Da Yuan how much time the test would take, Ye Zhongming agreed to their request.
“If the integration level is high, then this machine's driver could completely make up for the inability to use skills, even if they are an eight-star evolver. Just think about it, weapons can be custom-made. As long as Zhong Ming is here, anything is possible, and the capabilities of the weapons can also be activated due to the hand sensory nerves and special mental control methods,” Le Da Yuan said excitedly. This position was a significant challenge; aside from the control system, he had spent at least half of his time on it.
“Also, lineage will still have an effect. This machine complements the driver’s own strength.”
“As for the equipment, heh, with that layer of energy shield and the dual protection from the metal material itself, its defense is comparable to golden equipment. If Zhong Ming can handle the metal outer armor with all his might, it will become the strongest defender clad in Purple Gear.”
Listening to Le Da Yuan talk about the machine’s hidden features, the core members preparing for the test became even more eager.
Since the cockpit was in a liquid form, the researchers prepared a large amount of intermediate liquid for everyone to change, and filled the close combat robot with various weapons and energy to achieve the best testing effect.
Taking the opportunity, Le Da Yuan took out another computer and explained the types and uses of weapons to the core members who wanted to pilot the machine.
Given their memory, a single explanation was enough for them to memorize everything, and they could slowly become familiar with it during the actual driving process.
Since the requirements for the driver included not only evolution level but also physical and mental strength, Ye Zhongming thought for a moment and had these core members call over anyone from their subordinates who roughly met the criteria.
Since they were going to test it, they might as well decide on the pilot at once.
In just over ten minutes, more than sixty or seventy people had gathered, most of whom were seven-star evolvers, with only a few exceptional individuals in physical skills or mental prowess being six-star evolvers. Including the core members, there were nearly a hundred people in total.
Soon, after preparing everything, Little Tiger was impatient to be the first to try. Le Da Yuan kicked him up into the cockpit.
Before long, the liquid cockpit closed, and the combat robot, which had previously looked like a metal statue, seemed to come to life, although the data cables connected for the test made it somewhat unconvincing.
“Little Tiger, can you hear me?”
Le Da Yuan first spoke to Little Tiger in the cockpit through the microphone connected to the computer. About three seconds later, Little Tiger replied.
“Yes, Old Le, this is quite fun inside. By the way, what is this liquid? It tastes a bit sweet?”
The people below collectively rolled their eyes; only someone as foolish as Little Tiger would dare to taste an unknown liquid.
“Immerse your mind into the machine and follow my instructions…”
Le Da Yuan gradually guided Little Tiger, reminding the others to follow this procedure during their test later.
After a minute, Little Tiger had grasped the basic controls, and Le Da Yuan transmitted a set of data to him.
“Perform the actions according to these instructions.”
Little Tiger closed his eyes in the cockpit and began to control the robot to perform the actions in sequence. Initially, it was quite awkward, but he quickly improved.
“These are basic movements. The data cables will determine the driver's state based on these actions. The more effort the driver exerts to control the machine, the lower the integration level will be.”
