Chapter 126 Dangerous Game
The digital clock in the middle of the stadium kept ticking, and the audience seats gradually became lively, and eventually they were all packed.

The Fanqi Cup semi-finals will last nearly five hours. Most of the audience will not watch the entire process, especially the lengthy welding part. Many audiences enter the venue when the safety time is about to end and the fight is about to begin.

There were only ten minutes left for the second half of the contestants to get excited. When many spectators entered the venue, they were still discussing the first half of the maneuvering of Zhen Ding's amazing aircraft with great interest. The experienced director saw that most of the spectators had arrived, so he turned the camera at the right time, and projected a slightly distorted color picture on the X-ray tube electronic screen: the vermilion body of the aircraft was eye-catching, with double-row suspended 20mm machine guns, and heavy-duty power hammers modified from tamping machines on the sides. There was not a single trace of rivets on the whole body, and almost all of them were welded by submerged arc welding. On the two exhaust chimneys on the left and right of the neck cavity, golden electric sparks flickered unsteadily. Twelve silver bolts as thick as fists were wedged into the steel collar, and the temporary eyepiece that was polished to a smoothness that could reflect the expressions of the audience...

"What's this?!"

When the entire fake Fearless welded by Solong Gaowa was unveiled, all the audience members, whether they were the audience who had just entered the venue or the audience who had stayed in the audience and witnessed the entire welding process by Solong Gaowa, could not help but exclaim in amazement from the bottom of their hearts.

Although its mass and size of only 4.8 tons were slightly different from the Tactical Dreadnought introduced in "Dream Machine", its body, which was hastily assembled from old parts, was covered with mottled traces of time, and its weapons and equipment seemed a bit shabby...but all this was not important. The moment the Tactical Dreadnought made its debut, the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to its climax.

After being covered in protective clothing for two hours, Solong Gaowa turned off the welding gun and raised her right hand to indicate that she had completed the heart welding. Then she took off her goggles and helmet impatiently and shook her sticky hair. Almost at the same time, Gu Jianqiu on the other side also finished welding and raised his hand to indicate.

As a routine matter, the director also took a full-body close-up of the double-flowered soldier welded by Gu Jianqiu.

"Not bad!"

"This guy is quite capable, what a pity."

Some knowledgeable viewers are not stingy with their praise. After all, those who pay attention to the Fanqi Cup and have the ability to pay for the on-site tickets, even if they are not genuine celestial officials, are cosmic wanderers with good electrocardiogram (ECG) skills and their eyesight is not too bad.

The double-flower body, which was originally supposed to be a pure white color, is now surrounded by several indigo gradient bands. It is also welded using the submerged arc welding technique. The neck cavity is empty and no protection is set.

The multi-directional rotating bearing shoulder was originally damaged, and Gu Jianqiu re-welded it with a polished chromium-tungsten alloy mold. The tattered armor shell from the chest to the waist was completely removed and replaced with a thicker tank floor. Every conduction beam on the half-grasping sensor gauntlet was refurbished. The agile blue and white fuselage stood upright under the camera, which was a feast for the eyes.

But soon, some viewers noticed something was wrong.

"Did he forget to weld his weapons?"

The photographer soon discovered this, so he approached Gu Jianqiu and half-jokingly asked, "Gu Jianqiu, are you planning to challenge your opponent's tactical fearlessness with your bare hands?"

Gu Jianqiu took off his goggles and helmet, shook his head at the camera, and gestured with his finger. The photographer moved the camera in the direction of Gu Jianqiu's finger, and saw a 70-centimeter-long charged vibration knife fixed with leather at the elbow of the right arm of the Shuanghua machine.

The knife manufacturer was Yuanji Ironworks in the southern prefecture of Haitang's homeland, and there were still advertising slogans and contact numbers that had not been polished off.

The photographer shrugged and said nothing more.

Although Zoro and Gu Jianqiu have completed the heart welding armament, they still have to wait for the time to end. The competition can only officially begin after the armament works of all eight contestants in the second half have passed the review of the referee. Fortunately, this time is not very long and the redundant cameramen began to leave. Perhaps because of the upcoming battle, Zoro Gaowa's expression was more serious than ever. After boarding his own copycat dreadnought, he closed his eyes and counted the time silently.

Gu Jianqiu was similar. He and Sauron were not talkative people. Although there were rumors of their close relationship outside the court, they were the most silent pair among the four groups of players on the eve of the match. The others had more or less trash talk before the match. But these two did not say a word after they boarded their respective welding soldiers.

The photographers had previously experienced being humiliated, so they no longer tried to steer the conversation, and time passed slowly in an eerie silence.

3…2…1.

The exploding sound of electric current spread rapidly in the air, and the hairs on Gu Jianqiu's neck were stimulated to stand on end. With almost no room for thinking, his double-flowered wheeled feet burst out with amazing power and rushed towards the garbage mountain shelter.

Da da da da da da da!!!

The moment the countdown ended, the machine gun on the imitation dreadnought's back instantly poured out hundreds of bullets, and in the blink of an eye, it flooded the place where Shuanghua had just stood. A scrapped truck head was torn into pieces by the machine gun's firepower within a few seconds, and the alloy frame was deformed and collapsed, which was shocking. "This is too dangerous! Will someone die?" Fu Lemei frowned as she watched: "Aren't they superiors and subordinates? They should have a good relationship, right? Why did Solong Gaowa hit so hard?"

Fatty Qian smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum and answered softly, "War welding competitions are very dangerous. Broken hands and feet are common. Which war welding star doesn't pay more than ten yuan in insurance premiums every year? This is still the beam transmission line limitation of the copycat Dreadnought. If it is replaced with a real tactical Dreadnought, the firepower strike area will be several times larger. The penetration power is also stronger. These industrial wastes can't resist it."

Seeing Shuanghua using the garbage on the field to avoid the machine gun fire, Solong Gaowa looked up and observed the surroundings through the brown goggles. The entire field was about one hectare, and the organizers had invested at least thousands of tons of industrial garbage in each field, including debris directly unloaded from the space battlefield. Therefore, the field was covered with garbage mountains of varying heights. Because the copycat Fearless did not have a scanning array installed, her vision was greatly limited.

Shukaku snorted when he saw this: "It's a little clever. But it's useless."

After a while, the imitation Fearless placed the machine gun across its chest and moved slowly around the bunker on the tracks under its feet. When her eyes caught sight of the Shuanghua's body, Solong Gaowa did not immediately pour out all her firepower. Instead, the machine gun launched an attack using point-and-shoot methods. Although it still failed to hit the target, it forced Shuanghua to flee in embarrassment. Solong Gaowa chased it closely, firing bullets from time to time to drive away Shuanghua, controlling the direction of Shuanghua's escape like driving cattle and sheep. Soon, Shuanghua was forced into a blind spot in the venue by her.

"it is good."

Shukaku waved his pink fist, his face flushed red. "Now let's see how you can dodge! Hit me hard!"

Fu Lemei was about to speak but stopped herself. Instead, the young monk Jieyan clasped his hands together and said, "Anger is the fire in the heart, which can burn the forest of merit."

Shukaku glanced at the little monk, curled his lips, took a deep breath, and his expression became much calmer.

Ta da da~ da da da~
The flexible advantage of the Shuanghua series was clearly revealed at this moment. Despite losing the cover of the garbage, the Shuanghua body still avoided most of the machine gun bullets by virtue of its relatively narrow and difficult-to-hit body advantage. However, some lead-core bullets still hit the relatively thick armor of the Shuanghua, making a dull metallic sound. Many lead-core bullets were directly embedded in the steel plates, which made Fu Lemei shudder with fear.

Fatty Qian was keenly aware of Fu Lemei's concern for Shuanghua, but he did not point it out. He just smiled and comforted her: "After all, there are more than 30 quasi-celestial officers with electrocardiograms, and they have combat individual protection. It won't be that easy for anyone to die."

Gu Yiqiu shook his head: "This guy surnamed Gu is too arrogant. He didn't even weld his foam helmet. Bullets don't have eyes. If he really gets hit in the head, he'll be dead."

Fatty Qian nodded in agreement, but immediately changed the subject: "However, I have watched so many battle welding matches, and many seeded players really don't weld bubble helmets. The collar is just a fleshy head. Last year's champion Yuan Sengxian is an example. I don't understand the reason behind this."

"It is to ensure that the spiritual sense can operate smoothly."

Shukaku said in a deep voice: "Things welded by rubbish are just killing toys after all. It's already remarkable that they can take into account both protection and firepower. The bubble helmets of top individual soldiers are high-precision and expensive components, often equipped with a series of devices such as scanning arrays, drug injectors, radio stations, quick locks, etc. The bubble helmets picked up from the garbage dump don't have these conditions at all. They are just a large piece of glass made of polycarbonate. Not only will it limit the wearer's field of vision, it will also hinder the spread of electrocardiograms. If a celestial official has cultivated divine consciousness or the manas consciousness of Tantric Buddhism, he will be even more reluctant to wear a fully sealed cheap glass bubble helmet, which will almost destroy the abilities they have cultivated for many years."

She raised her head and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. "If the bubble helmet was worn, the Tactical Dreadnought's first few rounds of machine gun fire would have destroyed the Double Flower's armor. This guy named Gu doesn't intend to deal with this game casually. He really wants to use this Double Flower to defeat the Tactical Dreadnought."

Just as Fatty Qian said, the power of the imitation Dreadnought machine gun was indeed amazing, but Shuanghua seemed to be caught in a dilemma, but she did not suffer any serious damage. She was able to dodge in a large arc and suddenly accelerate and change direction with ease. The sporadic bullets could not cause much damage, and the situation was actually deadlocked for a while.

"I must admit that I underestimated player No. 16 Gu Jianqiu."

The host's expression also became serious. "This unknown brand double flower welded by him is definitely not a fake toy that was put together temporarily and only has a good appearance. Its welding standard is completely suitable for direct use in the guerrilla battlefield! Considering that Gu Jianqiu only took less than two hours to weld the double flower with such precision, it is not impossible for him to challenge the champion in the usual Fanqi Cup with his welding level. This game is worth watching."

Gu Yiqiu said with some regret: "In hindsight, the Tactical Dreadnought is not really suitable for the rules of the Garbage Race. The heart-welding circuit of this main combat soldier is adapted to heavy firepower bombing and hanging thick armor. The latter is not so difficult, but the electric-sensing gunpowder that can be collected at the garbage dump is really limited, and the Tactical Dreadnought's firepower advantage cannot be brought into play at all."

"It's no use."

Shukaku crossed his legs, full of confidence: "With that shabby charging sword used to chop wood stakes, it can't even break through the armor of the Tactical Dreadnought."

There should be another chapter today, but it's very late, so don't wait. Then I'd like to recommend a book, let's call it a supernatural novel?
Ban Ma’s “Ecstasy”, I don’t know the artist, I just think it’s nice.
