Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 518 Limit
Zheng Zha's eyes sparkled, inwardly praising him... He admitted he knew nothing about operating mechas, and even when the instructor asked him to share his experience, he couldn't explain it. But watching Luo Gandao operate the mecha was a pleasure for Zheng Zha.

"Is this kid really just a racing game player? I'd believe you if you told me he was born from a mecha anime world," Zheng Zha thought to himself.

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that outrageous... Most people never get the chance to show their talents in their entire lives. As a racing and mecha enthusiast, he definitely has the interest and ability, he just can't find the opportunity to pilot a mecha. I dare say, even if you let him drive a mecha, he would definitely be faster than the average person."

"That kid must have been sneaking around taking the family car out to drive," Zheng Zha muttered. "Don't ask why, I've done it before, so he's even more likely to do it."

Mu Xiang smiled and shook his head: "Maybe."

Zhang Jie's voice echoed in their hearts: "That makes sense... but this newcomer's speed in mastering mecha control is truly beyond imagination."

"He's not some prodigy who can communicate with machine spirits with just a touch... He underwent the same training as us over the past few days, which provided him with ample groundwork to showcase his talent." Mu Xiang shrugged. "If he already has talent but can't manifest it, then it's a problem with the Allied training system... Of course, judging from the current situation, this training system is still quite scientific."

Mu Xiang had also been observing Luo Gandao's operation of the training machine. Although both were talents in their respective fields, Luo Gandao was somewhat different from Qi Tengyi and Cheng Xiao. Qi Tengyi's linguistic talent had already given him extremely strong linguistic abilities, and Cheng Xiao came from a family of martial arts and medicine practitioners, making his cultivation already astonishingly high. However, Luo Gandao had not fully unleashed his talent.

This requires the Main God Space to provide him with opportunities to unleash his talents... Whether it's training in the Main God Space like in the original story, allowing him to pilot a mecha, or receiving professional training in the Reincarnation World now, it's a good time to unleash his talents.

Mu Xiang's statement about the existence of specialized newcomers in the mecha genre was indeed reasonable, but it was more about convincing the members of the Central Continent Team... For him, an obvious question had already been raised. Given the criteria of mecha genre and talented newcomers, it wasn't difficult to deduce that Luo Gandao was this newcomer; but the question remained: why would a mecha genre and a newcomer with piloting talent appear simultaneously?

This situation didn't occur in the original work... Mu Xiang naturally wouldn't let this difference go.

This perfect difference...

[Perfect timing... Perhaps it was a powerful being outside the Main God Space who arranged it this way, but more likely it's...]

[Chu Xuan...did you modify the horror films that came after the absolute turning point of Resident Evil 2?]

Luo Gandao had no idea what Mu Xiang was thinking, or what the veterans were talking about. He even ignored the instructors' occasional low gasps of surprise over the communication channel. He didn't even look at the screen next to him that was issuing action commands; he just used his peripheral vision to catch the action markers that lasted for a short while.

"Lift vertically into the air, pause for three seconds."

Seeing the instructions on the screen, Logandao muttered to himself, then without hesitation pressed the button on the control stick, lifting his heels as well. The command to take off wasn't for Logandao to jump and hover, but rather to complete the action through a simple combination of other commands. A stream of scorching fire erupted from the trainer's feet, the precise amount of thrust propelling it slowly into the air before stopping about twenty meters above the ground. Not only before, but even now, other recruits had failed to control the jet propulsion properly, causing their trainers to soar too high before crashing down.

Although the mechs weren't that fragile, a scolding and a low score were definitely inevitable... These recruits could only sit in the simulator cockpit with bitter smiles, listening to the instructors' lectures while waiting for the reset device in the distance to put their training machines back in place.

Luo Gandao stared intently at the screen in front of him, as if he were truly inside the mech. When the first-person view stopped shifting vertically, he breathed a sigh of relief... This proved that the mech had stopped taking off, at least it was stable vertically.

At this moment, Luo Gandao was thinking that if there was a limit to the altitude at which he could stay in the air, it would be very troublesome... He probably wouldn't be able to be that precise, and he still couldn't compare to Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha's control.

The instructor stared blankly at the screen, his gaze shifting back and forth between the monitor and the window leading to another area... to the point that he forgot to grade Luo Gandao.

This recruit... managed to make the training aircraft eight-tenths stable in the air?
This might not be too difficult for the Allied Mech Dragons, because some disputes within the Allies involve a contest of skill and strategy, with the core of the skill contest being the ability to control the mechs. Absolute hovering is a very useful test. Absolute hovering is an ideal state, naturally the closer to complete stillness the better, but this is ultimately only a theoretical situation.

The reality is that even if you gathered all the mechs from the member states together, none of them could achieve absolute hovering... They would all sway a little, given their size. Or rather, it's simply impossible to achieve. The so-called "absolute hovering" is always a matter of comparing downwards, not upwards; it's just about who sways the least.

As for the training machine... theoretically, it can only achieve 60% stability. This is naturally poor in the competition of the Mechanical Dragon, but it is the theoretical limit of the training machine! At least if the instructor himself were to do it, he could only achieve 60% stability... This has always been considered not the limit of the pilot, but the limit of the training machine.

But now, right in front of him... a recruit operating a training machine equipped with a downgraded jet engine, has achieved an 80% stability level? This is also a passing grade in the Mechanical Dragon competition... a passing grade achieved by a training machine.

Luo Gandao frowned slightly, the remote control transmitting the vibrations of the training machine to him. This didn't put any strain on his body, but it made him feel extremely tense, as if the machine might crash at any moment. He took a deep breath, and his body relaxed in response to the vibrations.

Most recruits would probably resist this feedback with their bodies, but in reality, this is futile and will only cause the motion-sensing device to receive incorrect instructions. Logan's instinctive reaction, however, allowed him to bypass this pitfall; with subtle adjustments to the joystick and his legs, the shaking finally subsided in an instant.

Luo Gandao maintained this state for a while, still feeling a little uneasy. He only felt that he hadn't controlled the left and right swaying well at the beginning... but he didn't know that in the eyes of others, the training machine went from stopping takeoff to stopping the left and right swaying in just a moment, while he maintained eight points of stability for more than three seconds!

"This is another promising talent..." The instructor had only just thought this when he saw Luo Gandao's training machine land when he heard a communication from his superiors through his headset.

"Old Weilong, who came to inspect today, just saw your new recruits... He's planning to come over and take a closer look, so be careful later."
