Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 517 Precision and Coordination

As he slipped into his combat suit, Logandao's hands trembled slightly. He wasn't nervous about whether he could perform well; he was simply too excited.

Although this is just remote control, it's still far superior to any driving simulation game.

From initial skepticism to longing for the described God's Space, and now to experiencing it firsthand... If Luo Gandao wasn't entirely convinced at first that it was all real, he's now certain that this is definitely not some prank show that could be made in the 21st century.

After Logandao connected with the motion-sensing device through his combat suit, a strange tremor rose within him. It was as if his mind and spirit were connected to these machines, and these machines were extensions of his body. It was this tremor that convinced Logandao that it was all real.

So... when will we actually be able to sit inside a mech?
Luo Gandao completely ignored the instructions the instructors repeated to each group of recruits. It wasn't until the instructor yelled at him over the radio that Luo Gandao snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly. Fortunately, the instructors didn't make him repeat them; after all, this was just a place to select talent, and the instructors had neither the obligation nor the inclination for such things.

A movement flashed on the screen next to him, and Luo Gandao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye—a left hook.

Luo Gandao had no fighting background, and his physique was just average... To put it bluntly, at his age, even if he could fight, no one would let him fight when he went out into the world. Both sides would find it embarrassing to see him as a kid. In fact, when something happened, it was always his best friend, who was three years older than him, who stepped in... while he was still alive.

Fortunately, when piloting the mech, he only needed to make the correct movements to guide it... which bypassed his own weaknesses. According to the veterans, if Logandao could truly master the mech, even a fairly ordinary one, he could perform at the level of many of the team's veterans.

Luo Gandao once asked what constituted a fairly ordinary mecha... Zhang Jie's answer was something like a B-class combat robot from the Space Fortress series.

"Huh? That's only considered average?" Logando was stunned when he heard this. "You guys said Gundams are at least A-class, how come the Space Fortress's mecha is so much worse?"

“This is the Main God Space, not a mecha combat power forum,” Zhang Jie explained. “Although the version provided by the Main God doesn’t necessarily weaken things, many things that seem commonplace in the original work are actually very restrictive for the reincarnators.”

Having seen countless mecha works, Luo Gandao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this: "Could it be... energy?"

“Yeah, A-class Gundams are supposed to use nuclear fusion reactors, batteries, or the legendary solar reactors. Of course, there are also those that generate electricity from love… As for S-class EVAs, you know, the energy source of the machine is a mystery. Electricity is only used to ensure piloting and stability.” Mu Xiang shrugged. “As for the Space Fortress machines, they are all powered by electricity, and their endurance is… fifteen minutes.”

Although Luo Gandao had never actually seen the Space Fortress series of mechs produced by the Main God, he still felt dizzy upon hearing about it. Even when Mu Xiang and Zhang Jie comforted him, saying, "Although it's a B-rank, its destructive power during combat is on a wartime level, incomparable to ordinary B-rank enhancements," Luo Gandao was still confused.

"I wonder what level the mechs in this world are at..." This thought flashed through Luo Gandao's mind, and before he knew it, he had already executed a standard left hook. The training machine shifted from a standing position to a fighting stance, the upper body turned slightly to the lower left, the left leg slightly bent, the center of gravity lowered, and then the steel left arm retracted inward with power. With the huge left foot pushing off the ground, the machine straightened up and turned to the right, letting the hook punch strike upward!

The instructor, who had been watching all the new recruits, remained silent for a long time before giving Luo Gandao's action a perfect score on the screen in front of him.

Actions like straight punches, hooks, and uppercuts have been taught in previous action breakdowns. However, as we all know, seemingly similar actions can look vastly different when executed by a mech. The pilot's own actions are simple, but the key is always how to get the mech to perform those actions... Otherwise, why not just hire a boxing champion to pilot the mech?

The movements the recruits had practiced earlier were now being directly reflected on the training machines in another area. Almost the instant they threw a punch, the three recruits discovered the problem... They had all seen the others' movements before and could see that many recruits' operation of the training machines was actually uncoordinated.

Just like a boxing beginner, how could he not be able to throw punches with his left and right hands? But from a professional perspective, his body looks awkward, locking his movement and limiting the power of his punches... And most recruits are the same; they can indeed perform the movements, but their physical state is not right.

Therefore, even for the most basic, already taught movements, most new recruits don't get high scores, only receiving a blank glance from the instructor, a low score, and the next instruction.

Oh, and some unlucky guys throw a punch or a kick and the training machine just crashes down... In these cases, it's not a matter of high or low scores, it's a matter of whether or not they get any points at all.

The instructors had emphasized the importance of coordinated movement countless times. The trainees, regardless of how well they were regarded by the Central Continent Team, were at least considered high-level soldiers in this world, and they certainly understood this principle. But even if everyone understood the principle, how could they actually put it into practice?

The same movements are much harder to control than to control a human body... When a human body feels awkward, it can subconsciously adjust to a relatively reasonable state, but a mecha cannot.

At this moment, Rodandao demonstrated his ability to control the mecha in front of the instructors and recruits... Even though the simulator and the training machine were far apart, the training machine in the distance became another body of Rodandao at this moment. His hands gripped the control sticks neither too tightly nor too loosely, moving the arms of the training machine, while his body guided the movements of the torso and legs of the training machine.

Every joint and movement of the machine is coordinated under Logandao's control. Movements that cannot be fully performed through motion sensing are fine-tuned by Logandao pulling triggers or pressing buttons as needed, ultimately presenting the most perfect posture possible.

The training hall was completely silent. Every recruit stared intently at the training machine being piloted by Logandao on the screen. Although it was the same machine as theirs, and some of them were even piloting the same machine, the results Logandao produced were completely different from theirs.

If Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha's manipulation was a miracle of precision that could only be described and not replicated, then Luo Gandao's manipulation was a smooth and effortless skill that could only be understood intuitively and not explained in words!
