Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 519 Tao

Mu Xiang raised an eyebrow. With his hearing, it wouldn't be difficult for him to hear those words from the instructor's earpiece, let alone directly from his superior on the other side of the base.

Of course, he could control his hearing... After all, Zhang Heng was watching movies with headphones on late at night, and the sound wasn't quiet. If he couldn't control it, Mu Xiang wouldn't be able to sleep. Although theoretically he didn't need to sleep anymore... it was still better than listening to Zhang Heng's movies, right?

Will there be any side quests? Like taking down that old mechanical dragon or something...?

The thought flashed through Mu Xiang's mind, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Perhaps this was their chance to climb the ranks faster. He said a few words to Zhang Jie in his mind, and Zhang Jie was taken aback for a moment before indicating that he understood.

Luo Gandao was unaware of these things; he hadn't even noticed that his training time had exceeded the average. Apart from receiving instructions on the screen, his mind was focused on the control device, which then penetrated into the motion-sensing area, as if he had truly entered the distant training machine along some invisible path.

Each movement was completed under Logandao's control. Previously, he would have felt tense due to overly intense feedback, but now he no longer felt that way. Logandao forgot that this was a training ground, forgot that this was the world of reincarnation, and threw all factors that might interfere with him to the back of his mind. Controlling the mecha was as easy as controlling his own body.

Controlling your body... what's there to be nervous about?

As Logandao performed his shooting maneuvers, an elderly man in military uniform stood at the front of the hall, surrounded by several guards. The old man watched Logandao in the simulator cockpit while peering through the window at the mechs in another arena. His slightly sunken eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light, and combined with his deeply lined face, he exuded an imposing aura.

Watching Luo Gandao's somewhat clumsy shooting, the old man chuckled: "This young man probably hasn't been exposed to mechs before... Compared to his control of the mech, there's a lot more to say about his shooting."

The instructor paused for a moment, then nodded with a forced smile and handed a tablet computer to the old man.

The old man glanced at him and said, "I'm not blind yet; I can see clearly from this window."

The instructor whispered a few words, and the old man's expression changed slightly before he took the tablet.

Mu Xiang, however, knew what the instructor had said… He was reporting on his and Zheng Zha’s performance to the old man. It seemed this old man wasn’t just a veteran mechanical dragon; his status must be quite high.

However, upon closer reflection, in this world, the mechanical dragon is indeed not a mascot... After all, mechs are part of the order, and it's not difficult for a mechanical dragon to rise to a high-ranking official.

This is a good opportunity; the Supreme God really knows how to pick a place.

The instructor gave Luo Gandao several firing instructions, and then told the rest of the soldiers in the group to finish their training... Everyone present understood that what followed was probably Luo Gandao's personal show.

"I wonder how that old guy trained them..." The old man's low muttering reached Mu Xiang's ears. "It seems that even after returning to the East, he didn't stop training the mecha pilots in advance. These two recruits have clearly undergone targeted physical training." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. This old guy was indeed skilled... That's right, his and Zheng Zha's operating methods were fundamentally different from Luo Gandao's.

As fourth-tier powerhouses, Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha naturally possess formidable microscopic abilities. Furthermore, their insight into movements is unimaginable to others. This allows them, even without prior experience piloting mechs, to clearly understand how every bit of force and every movement they exert will be reflected in the mech after receiving basic training.

They only need to exert force and move their bodies according to their desired pattern, and the machine automatically corrects any deviations between the machine and the human body, ultimately achieving precise control. The commands issued by Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha were even more precise than the mecha control commands issued by the computer.

When Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha fight, they use their respective weapons, which is essentially the same... and for them, the mecha is also a weapon. Their control involves precisely executing their commands, using the mecha as a weapon to be driven.

Luo Gandao, however, was different. After all, he was just an ordinary person, and he hadn't even received the gene-lock catalyst, nor did he possess the keen insight of a veteran mecha pilot. His control of the mecha was almost entirely based on perception, even intuition. He didn't know how many meters a part of the mecha needed to move or how many centimeters his own body needed to move to complete a maneuver, but the moment he touched the control device, he knew what to do.

By exerting their own strength and moving, the body makes the necessary movements, and then makes corrections based on their own feelings and the standards of the movements, ultimately achieving the desired effect.

Logan's movements weren't perfect or standard at every moment, but under his control, even a training machine with limited performance would present an ideal state, forming a series of smooth and flowing movements belonging to the pilot and the mecha.

Logandao's control involves merging himself with the simulator and even the training aircraft that is synchronized with him in the distance, making the mecha his other body.

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha naturally understood this principle, but the old man also saw it. Although he couldn't possibly know the true secrets of Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha's manipulation, he did see through the essential differences in their manipulation styles. This was even more insightful than the instructor's.

[I wonder who he's talking about... Even things not mentioned in the movie can be used as subplots for us.]

Looking at the elderly man with Slavic features at the front of the hall, Mu Xiang suddenly paused. Because judging from his lips… he was actually speaking Chinese?
"Although their styles are different, they all have great potential... no, not potential, they have already shown strength worthy of attention. Of course, in terms of style, I think this recruit named Luo Gandao has a brighter future, perhaps his control is closer to the true... in Eastern terms, the Dao." The old man glanced at the instructor and said calmly.

“This is something even Alexander couldn’t do… If this is truly his first time piloting a mech, oh, and a training one at that, then I must say his talent surpasses Alexander’s.” The old man suddenly smiled. “Of course, the other recruits are also very skilled, but only the two most outstanding ones can be compared here.”

"In other words, if their operating methods were applied to a real mech, they could also be displayed in the same way... then this is the ultimate goal that Alexander is pursuing." The old man turned around and actually found Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha in the crowd at a glance. "Of course, the training machine has too low an upper limit and cannot show their full strength... conversely, they may not have reached the ultimate in mech operation either."

The instructor nervously swallowed. He hadn't expected the old man to have such a high opinion of these three trainees… It sounded like he already considered their talent superior to Alexander's. Alexander… that was the strongest mechanical dragon in the Allies, perhaps even the world!
“You can let Luo Gandao get off the plane now. I’ll go and talk to them,” the old man said.
