The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

The least prominent major among the universities watching this competition is not the marginal support majors with ordinary combat capabilities, nor the special majors that are not very useful in overly rudimentary environments, but rather the popular major that is almost on par with individual soldier command: the mecha major.

In fact, this major is undeniably important, and there are reasons why it is associated with the main combat force of individual soldiers and the core of mechs.

Aside from large-scale space battles, land and sea battles, as well as various special battlefields, all require mech propulsion, which sometimes plays a crucial role.

However, mechs are not simply weapons; they are personalized weapons, and the effects and power vary depending on the combination and adjustment.

It's no exaggeration to say that a good mech pilot can unleash the full potential of a warrior, and a creative mech pilot can even elevate the entire team's performance. This is why mech pilots are so popular in interstellar warfare.

Therefore, the military recruits a large number of highly skilled mech pilots every year to serve the army. Some legions even set up dedicated mech research and development institutions to analyze and adjust the mechs for their troops.

Unfortunately, the unified entrance examination does not focus on this aspect, and with limited resources, there is not much room for students in the mecha department to showcase their talents.

After all, considering that mecha engineering is not a discipline that is easy to practice, even if the corresponding environment is provided, it is impossible to fully demonstrate it.

Even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice. Without the right circumstances and environment, no matter how talented someone is, they can't come up with anything special. The geniuses of the various mecha-related fields can only lie low and observe, with no opportunity to showcase their abilities.

However, universities have already recruited a batch of talents in the field of mecha before the national unified entrance examination. Those with a little reputation have been selected in advance for assessment, and many with real skills are directly recruited into universities without going through the national unified entrance examination.

Universities have always welcomed talent in this field, and even made exceptions for them, showing great leniency and opening up convenient paths for such individuals.

However, there are also many ordinary people in this world who have no connections and were no different from others before, perhaps only possessing a little more talent than others.

At this point, the unified entrance examination becomes their only chance to stand out. Even though it doesn't offer the same clear path as specialized examinations, it still provides an opportunity. Therefore, many students in the mecha engineering department hope to demonstrate their abilities in this unified entrance examination and gain admission to their ideal college.

But right now, there's really not much room for their development. Not to mention them, even the professors in the mecha departments of various universities can only idly look around, occasionally glancing at students from other majors, or chatting about the latest mecha topics—they've become the most idle group of people in the room.

Compared to the individual instructors who barely have enough eyes to see, their field of vision is much wider.

One of the teachers from the mecha department opened the main interface to check the overall situation of the competition.

As mentioned before, when students apply for the unified entrance examination, they must first fill in their intended schools and majors. Then, the type and content of the unified entrance examination will be adjusted according to the information they fill in, and their personal data will be pushed to the corresponding university's sub-list according to the sub-list.

This not only allows for a more detailed analysis of students' potential and talents, but also makes it easier for universities to select the talent they need.

After all, while universities are eager to recruit high-potential awakened talents, it would be futile if these students didn't ultimately choose their schools. Therefore, they naturally prioritize students from their shortlists. However, the situation changes when the perspective shifts to the final competition. While the regional rankings seem relatively clear, with each student in their place and appearing to have ample room to perform, the densely marked final competition area looks precarious, fraught with potential pitfalls and fraught with anxiety.

Regardless of the final outcome, anyone who can stand out and earn a place in this situation is a strong person.

“These kids aren’t very capable, but they’re quite cunning. Major General Edward, do you have any favorites?” the smartly dressed woman asked. Standing beside her was Paul Edward, their class’s head instructor.

The head instructor of the mecha department is a major general. He was a mecha pilot and served in the military for many years. He made great contributions and was promoted to major general at an early age.

His life experience is rich and he is no longer just a mecha pilot. After all, very few mecha pilots can rise to the rank of major general.

But during the 100 years of his gradual decline, he grew weary of the war-torn life and began to focus his attention on the more peaceful cause of education.

The First Military Academy was his alma mater. He was immediately transferred here after receiving the invitation. Later, he would come to the First Military Academy to give lectures almost every now and then, but he was a special lecturer for individual soldiers.

However, Colonel Hao, who was serving as the chief instructor of the mecha department this year, received orders to be transferred to advance a new front. Just then, he entered a period of accumulation and transition, so the Imperial First Military Academy invited him to serve as the chief instructor.

He came from an ordinary background and entered the Empire's top military academy by standing out in the unified examination. Therefore, he did not take the unified admission as lightly as the other teachers in the mecha department.

Although there aren't many opportunities to showcase their talents right now, as long as they have mechs, there will always be a chance to shine. This is the only way for students from ordinary backgrounds to get ahead, and they have no choice but to seize this opportunity. If even they, as teachers, don't care, what other opportunities do they have?

Having risen through that ranks himself, Paul Edwards knew all too well that mechs were not simply something built with resources. Not everyone could become a mech pilot; without talent, there was no talent, and no amount of resources could change that. Those with talent but lacking the necessary resources, however, had only one opportunity.

Edward shook his head. Everyone had just received their mechs and hadn't had a chance to show off yet, so there was no question of whether they were good or bad. They were all just as idle as anyone else.

The female teacher was a first-year instructor in the mecha department of the Empire's First Military Academy. She was obviously aware of the situation and sighed, "Actually, it's the same every year. The unified recruitment system still has some difficulties in the mecha field." Moreover, the skill level of a mecha pilot is something that cannot be judged by a few dozen hours of training. They can't build them, and they can't do major repairs... It can be said that the existence of mecha pilots in the unified recruitment is almost useless, and even the overall ranking is appalling.

"Forget it, let's take another look. There are still two days left, no matter how you calculate it... Let's see how bad this overall ranking can be." Anxin clicked on the next horizontal sub-ranking on the overall ranking, which was the Mecha System Overall Ranking.

"Let me see. First place is He Yu from Bai Xiao Intermediate Academy, second place is that guy Talor, and third place... Jiang Hui, from an intermediate academy in the resident star system. Damn it, a lone soldier?!"
