Chapter 256 Mecha Training
Mecha training ground, this is another place Chi Lili had heard of but never been to.

In the past, she was limited by her talent and had no qualifications to set foot in the mecha training ground. She could only secretly watch with envy as her sister and classmates made plans to go to the mecha training ground for mecha operation training.

On the surface, she said nonchalantly that she had no intention of becoming a mecha warrior, so she did not learn any knowledge related to mechas, just to support her shaky dignity.

However, which interstellar person doesn’t have a dream of mecha?

Now that time has passed and she already has her own mecha tailor-made for her, it is still the first time she has walked into the mecha training ground that she had dreamed of walking into so many times in the middle of the night.

With curiosity and anticipation, Chi Lili followed her new friends to the mecha training room of the assault camp.

Each battalion on the battleship has its own exclusive living area and various training rooms. The configurations of the living areas are similar, while the training rooms are equipped with different training facilities according to the different functions of each battalion.

For example, the assault battalion. Just by listening to the name of this battalion, you know that they play a pioneering role on the battlefield, so they definitely need to learn how to drive mechas. Every soldier in the battalion is a mecha warrior, without exception.

Therefore, they will have specially equipped mecha training rooms, or even more than one.

At this time, Chi Li and her host were standing in front of the door of the Jacket No. 1 Mecha Training Room, looking in amazement at this mecha training ground that was comparable to a competition-level stadium. Chi Li even estimated with her naked eyes that this training ground was even larger than an ordinary stadium.

The huge space is surrounded by silver-white walls that give it a sense of technology, and there is nothing else.

However, if you think this is just a larger ordinary venue, you are wrong.

Not to mention the walls, floor and ceiling of this mecha training ground, which are almost integrated and made of space alloy with the highest strength and certain toughness. It can withstand two triple S-class mechas practicing inside without being damaged. It also has the most advanced environmental simulation technology. In such a venue alone, it can simulate various environmental terrains 100%, so as to help mecha warriors better adapt to combat in different environments.

In addition, dense monitoring equipment and various testers have been installed in various unexpected corners, which can detect the status of trainees at all times and display their training results more intuitively.

“This venue can be said to have gathered all the most advanced technologies currently available. You will know how it works after experiencing it yourself later.” Wu Yunyun concluded after giving it an introduction.

After listening to her introduction, both Chi Li and Chi Lili showed great interest in the subsequent training.

Seeing that the man and the spirit beast both showed impatient expressions at the same time, Wu Yunyun and the others also showed the smiles of experienced people, and a little nostalgic. They thought about how they looked when they first set foot on the mecha training ground. They wondered if the seniors at that time also looked at them in the same way.

"Chi Lili, come here."

The veterans who had been here countless times skillfully found their own training positions, while Chi Lili, the new recruit, was called away by an instructor.

"Instructor Cathy."

Chi Lili quickly ran to stand in front of Cathy, gave a standard military salute, and waited for her instructions.

"Come, try this mecha first."

Cathy stretched out her hand and operated a screen extending from the wall. She deliberately slowed down so that Chi Lili could see her movements clearly. Then, the seemingly integrated wall slowly cracked open, and a Class B military standard land combat mecha appeared in front of them.

There are various styles of Class B military standard mechas, which are similar to vehicles and can be roughly divided into those that fly in the sky, run on the ground, swim in the water, and some that burrow into the ground. In addition, there are some relatively niche special mechas that are suitable for use in special terrains and are not classified into the above categories.

The most common of these are naturally the type of mecha that runs on the ground. This type of mecha is called a land combat mecha. Since its birth, it has been called the strongest land combat machine. It is extremely destructive, and its performance on land in terms of defense, speed, firepower, etc. is also extremely high.

Moreover, the development of mecha technology has become quite mature, and the functions of a mecha are relatively comprehensive, rather than being limited to a single direction.

So it is a land combat mecha. In fact, this type of mecha can also go into the water and into the air. It’s just that compared with special naval combat mecha and air combat mecha, it is relatively weak in other aspects except land combat.

Of course, this type of problem is not a problem for mechas above S-level. Every S-level mecha is omnipotent and can perfectly adapt to battles on all kinds of terrains. This is why S-level mechas are S-level. Only mechas below S-level are limited by various factors such as manufacturing materials and manufacturing technology, so this kind of ability classification is required.

However, because the material and technical requirements are too high, and there are not so many S-class mecha warriors, S-class mechas cannot be mass-produced. For every interstellar country, no matter how good the S-class mecha is, compared to mass-producing S-class mechas, those below S-class are more cost-effective.

There are not so many high-end warriors on the real battlefield, and most of the people fighting are ordinary soldiers.

"I know you have an S-class exclusive mecha, but your mecha driving skills are not very proficient, so you need to start from scratch. This mecha is the basic mecha equipped by the military to every mecha warrior. It's just right for you to practice..."

What do you mean by not having proficient driving skills? Chi Lili has no skills at all. She knows that this is the most euphemistic way of putting it from Instructor Cathy, so she listens to her advice seriously.

According to Instructor Cathy, every official soldier who successfully joins the army, smoothly graduates from the recruit camp, and is assigned to one of the six legions will be assigned a most basic standard mecha by the federal military.

This type of mecha not only has the lowest level, but also the most basic configuration, or none at all. If you want to replace it with better parts or upgrade it, you can exchange it for military merits.

Moreover, this mecha is only allocated to you for use during your service, and it is not really given to you, so after you retire, or if you want to own it completely, you will also need to exchange it with the federal military.

Of course, the damage and repair of the mecha during its service are all the responsibility of the military, and no additional expenses are required. This can be considered a kind of military benefit.

This benefit is available to you regardless of whether the mecha is publicly or privately owned, as long as you are an active military member.

Just like Chi Lili, her S-class mecha now belongs completely to her privately, but if the mecha is damaged during her service in the army, she can apply to the military for free repairs, and can also replace some more expensive parts. The only problem is that sometimes there are too many people and the mecha maintenance department is too busy, so she has to wait in line.

Driving a mecha is just like getting a driver's license. You have to start from the basics. You can't go racing on the road before you learn how to start the car. That's not realistic.

Chi Lili's driving skills are now only at the stage of just learning how to ignite and start the car. The subsequent technical skills such as going straight, turning, parking, going uphill, etc. need to be learned slowly.

It's not impossible to use her S-class mecha for training directly, but just like it's best to use the driving school's training car when learning to drive, if your skills are not good, you will be heartbroken if your own car (mecha) gets bumped into something.

Although the defense of an S-class mecha is not enough to leave any marks after a little bump, it consumes energy to operate!

The higher the level of the mecha, the more energy it consumes to start up. Although this part of the expenditure is also borne by the military as a soldier's welfare and Chi Lili does not need to bear it herself, it is best to save if possible.

The military’s money doesn’t come from the wind and cannot be wasted casually.

So the training course they arranged for Chi Lili was the same as for others, starting from the most basic and cost-effective B-class land combat mecha.

Chi Lili sat in the cockpit of the mecha according to the instructions of Instructor Cathy, and Instructor Cathy sat in the co-pilot seat at the back. In addition to the main driver's seat, this type of mecha also has a co-pilot seat next to it and two rescue seats at the back, which are reserved for the wounded.

Although the internal structures are slightly different, in fact, the driving of mechas is almost the same. As long as you have learned the most basic mecha driving techniques, you can quickly get started driving other mechas.

"First, establish a mental connection with the mecha. You should be able to do this step, right?" Instructor Cathy guided Chi Lili.

"I will." Chi Lili followed his instructions and released her mental power, which turned into shapes like electronic tentacles, probing into the link end of the mecha and establishing a mental power link with it.

Just like being possessed by a soul, after a brief period of confusion, when one regains consciousness, the vision has become very different.

Following what she had learned before, Chi Lili moved her feet and hands tentatively, and then tried to take two steps forward.

It's still a little jerky, but it's going well.

To be specific, it has evolved from an infant learning to walk to a two or three year old child learning to walk, which is quite a big progress for a beginner.

Cathy obviously had the information about Chi Lili's test-driving of the S-class mecha at the recruit camp, so she had a clear understanding of her level. Therefore, she was quite satisfied with her performance. She nodded and asked, "How do you feel? Compared to the S-class mecha."

"It's a bit...astringent." Chi Lili said hesitantly.

She originally thought that after driving a higher-level mecha, driving a lower-level mecha should be a piece of cake. However, the reality was the opposite. She felt like she was driving a rusty car and wearing clothes that were too tight, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
It's like asking someone who is used to driving a top-level racing car to drive an ordinary car. The feeling will definitely be different. The most obvious feeling is that it is too slow, and she is also limited by the tools and cannot speed up even if she wants to.

"This is normal. The performance of a high-level mecha is not comparable to that of a low-level mecha. Your mental power level is too high. When driving a B-level mecha, you unconsciously use too much mental power, which will cause you to feel overloaded. Try reducing your mental power output and find a level that you feel most comfortable with..."

Under the guidance of Instructor Cathy, Chi Lili slowly adjusted herself, quickly got rid of her initial discomfort, and gradually became proficient in the operation of the mecha.

B-class mechas are indeed easier to operate. When using S-class mechas, Chi Lili had to rely on Chi Li's help if she wanted to successfully establish a mental connection. Now she can complete this step by herself, followed by a series of basic movement training, walking, running, jumping, raising hands, punching, etc.

Instructor Cathy said that once she is familiar with these movements, she can try to add some fighting moves into the training, and gradually reach the level where she can practice more with others.

Then you can start the next stage of training.

Chi Lili didn't know what the next stage of mecha training would be like. She was already exhausted just from dealing with the most basic movement training.

When the two-hour mecha training course was over, Chi Lili was already covered in sweat when she walked out of the mecha cockpit. She sweated so much that her clothes were soaked through and stuck to her body, outlining her flexible and powerful body curves. That was the result of her years of uninterrupted training.

The others still had to continue their mecha training, and their training time would be more than just two hours. Chi Li's morning training came to an end for the time being. She would then report to the infirmary to treat those who came for mental treatment.

Noticing Wu Yunyun and the others looking at her from afar, Chi Li raised her hand and gestured to them that she would leave first. Then she said goodbye to Instructor Cathy and left the mecha training ground. She found the location of the infirmary according to the internal map of the battleship given by Lao Yang yesterday, and by the way, she also asked a robot she met on the way to help her get a set of clean clothes from her room.

There is a bathroom in the infirmary, and she can also take a simple shower. She plans to take a shower and change clothes there, otherwise it would be a problem to see patients with a sweaty body.

After Chi Lili left, in the monitoring room of the expedited training ground, several instructors were discussing her training data.

"She is very talented and learns quickly. She has only been driving a mecha for less than a month, but she is already able to skillfully control the mecha to perform basic movements such as running, jumping, kicking, and punching. Let her get familiar with it for two more days, then we can add some complex combat movement training, and then arrange for her to practice mecha sparring with others." said an instructor.

"Well, there is a big difference between being able to control a mecha freely and controlling it to fight. We need to observe her combat talent further." Another instructor nodded.

"It doesn't matter if she can't fight. We can focus on training her ability to dodge and escape. Anyway, as long as she can survive on the battlefield, any means will do." Instructor Cathy, who happened to come in from outside, continued.

The Federation requires therapists to go to the battlefield mainly to provide timely treatment, rather than forcing them to face the enemy, so learning to escape is also a very good strategy, as long as the therapist can provide timely treatment to his comrades while ensuring his own survival.

However, being able to fight on your own is better than relying on others for protection, so until Chi Lili is judged to have no fighting ability, she will not give up training in this area.

"Her physical condition is still too low. Give her some extra high-level nutrients." The chief instructor stared at Chi Lili's physical data and frowned slightly.

They didn't let Chi Lili use the S-class mecha right from the start. In fact, it was to save energy on the one hand, and on the other hand it was to save Chi Lili's own losses.

Driving an S-class mecha is not an easy task. It consumes a lot of the driver's mental and physical strength. If the physical level is too poor, it will not be able to withstand such consumption. Therefore, before Chi Lili's physical level reaches S-class, it is best not to let her drive an S-class mecha for a long time.

Although forcing people to grow faster can make them grow faster, they definitely don't want to do that. Talents still need to be well nurtured.

“I feel like my physical condition is still not good enough.”

On the way to the infirmary on the small transport hovercraft inside the battleship, Chi Lili was reviewing her training problems with Chi Li.

"I can easily reach 100% synchronization when driving a B-class mecha, or even exceed it, so I can adapt quickly and it is not difficult to learn to drive. However, if I switch to an S-class mecha, I still need your help to reach 100% synchronization. I am still a little short of it by myself. It's not that my mental strength is poor, but my physical fitness is low. I still need to work hard and train hard."

"Well, keep it up." Chi Li encouraged the host.

The host still sees the problem very accurately.

She helps the host to improve the synchronization frequency with the S-class mecha. The principle is not to improve the opponent's physical fitness, but to make up for the lack of physical fitness by increasing his mental strength.

If Chi Lili's mental power was at S level before Chi Li's enhancement, then with Chi Li's enhancement, her mental power can temporarily reach S+ level, infinitely close to double S level.

If a person's mental strength level is high enough, then even if his physical fitness is low, he can still drive a mecha that is several levels higher than his physical fitness. However, this will inevitably be a huge drain on his mental strength, and the body will need to bear more pressure, which can easily drag it down, and in severe cases, even leave him with incurable disabilities.

Therefore, whether it is the Federation or other interstellar countries, it is not recommended that mecha warriors do this.

Anyway, improving physical fitness is not as difficult as mental strength. If the level is not enough, just practice. Why do you have to take risks with your body?

However, improving physical fitness is not an easy task. It requires long-term, uninterrupted, high-intensity training to achieve. Especially breaking through from A-level to S-level is a very difficult challenge, at least it is impossible in a short period of time. Therefore, Chi Lili can only try her best to work in this direction, but there is no way to achieve it all at once.

Fortunately, she is still young and has plenty of time, so there is no need to rush.

As we chatted, the hovercraft under our feet automatically arrived outside the infirmary door. It stopped and slowly landed on the ground, while issuing a mechanical reminder sound: "You have arrived at your destination, please get off carefully."

After Chi Lili walked down, the elliptical levitator automatically flew to the charging port on the wall next to it and hung side by side with other levitators, waiting for the next person in need to call them.

This type of hovercraft is just like the shared transportation in the city. You just need to click and call using the optical computer and the nearest one will fly over to take you to your destination.

Because the battleship is so large, it is equipped with some public transportation facilities inside. In addition to this type of single-person hovercraft, there are also hovering buses that can accommodate multiple people, etc. Otherwise, it would take more than a day to walk from the head to the tail of the battleship on two legs, and the operation of the entire battleship would definitely affect the efficiency.

The medical room of the assault camp is not like the ordinary school clinics or corporate clinics. It is just a small room like a small clinic. In fact, it is more like a small hospital. It is not only equipped with various most advanced medical equipment, but each doctor has his own independent consulting room.

Chi Lili was assigned to a single treatment room with a bathroom. When she arrived, the robot had already brought her change of clothes. She took them and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Then she changed into clean clothes and put on a white coat that someone had specially prepared for her. She sat at the desk and pressed the button to start seeing patients.

As soon as the reception light on her side came on, a long line immediately formed outside. All of them were people who had heard the news and came specifically for psychiatric treatment.

Chi Lili awakened as a healer very early. Even though her level was low before, she had systematically learned how to treat people. Now she doesn't need anyone to guide her, she can complete the treatment independently.

The first person who came in was an acquaintance, Lao Yang.

Meeting Chi Lili's gaze, Lao Yang smiled, walked in and sat down on the patient's seat, and said to Chi Lili, "Good morning, Xiao Chi, have you eaten? I feel that my mental power has fluctuated a bit recently, you can treat me."

"I've eaten Captain Yang. Please stretch out your hand so I can show you."

Psychotherapy does not necessarily require physical contact, or at least this is the case for high-level psychic therapists. However, for lower-level psychic therapists, in order to more accurately judge the patient's condition and provide treatment, it is better to use a certain amount of physical contact to maintain accuracy.

Chi Lili didn’t have enough talent before, so she could only learn the treatment methods of low-level therapists. Now that her talent has improved, she is also learning the treatment techniques of high-level therapists.

However, she had little time to learn and was always busy learning other things. In addition, she did not have enough people to practice with, so when she treated someone for the first time after her talent improved, she chose the treatment method she was familiar with for the sake of safety.

Fortunately, Lao Yang had experienced this kind of physical contact treatment many times. He cooperated by stretching out one hand with his palm facing down and the back of his hand facing the therapist.

Chi Lili, on her part, extended an index finger and placed it on the back of his hand. She probed into his mental power in this simple and polite way. She first quickly scanned the other person's mental sea to determine the degree of mania of his mental power, found the point with the largest fluctuation, and soothed him with her own mental power full of soothing power.

The process was quick. After about two or three minutes, the slight irritability on Lao Yang's face had subsided and turned into calmness.

Although only a very short time had passed, Lao Yang felt as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep. He felt refreshed, relaxed and full of energy.

This effect was even better than other S-level therapists he had experienced before, which made Lao Yang so happy that he kept praising them, and even made Chi Lili blush. Fortunately, in order not to delay the treatment of other people, Lao Yang left quickly, and the next patient came in.
