551 The Future of Mech Combat
Wu Mo had a solemn expression as he calmly replied, “Chief, please rest assured. Although such a situation may occur in the future, it will definitely not happen at this stage. We have to ensure that Life First is fully utilized.”
Hearing Wu Mo’s answer, the old chief finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was worried that Wu Mo would reveal Life Second to the public without permission. If that happened, the whole world might very well research this incomparably precious potion.
If they also ended up mastering this technology, China would suffer the consequences.
Even though Life First was facing the threat of a technological breach, they still had Life Second as their trump card.
In addition, the miraculous Biological Regeneration Agent could help disabled people all over the world.
However, the agent had yet to be fully popularized in China, so they would not be selling it to the outside world.
One day, Wu Mo arrived at a large mech training center.
Wu Mo was visiting the center because the principal had connected with him and sincerely invited him to guide the students in training.
The principal had also sent him an invitation many times. If Wu Mo did not go, he would be putting on airs.
Besides, since Wu Mo had previously been to the R&D Academy to guide students in their research and development, why could he not drop by the mech training center to give a lesson?
In China, mech academies had sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and many places had set up similar piloting schools.
There were both official and civilian organizations. The largest one was the Zhongtian Mech Training Center, which had been established by the military.
In this center, a total of five thousand students would receive training for half a year each time.
Once their training ended, the cadets would basically be equipped with the ability to pilot mechs on their own.
However, the knowledge of piloting a mech was rather complex, and they needed to study it continuously.
Even though the students could graduate successfully, that did not mean they could pilot a mech and fight sea monsters.
The sea monsters were powerful, and the sea’s environment was complicated. The storms above the water, the whirlpools at the bottom of the sea, and the effects of various air currents were all important factors.
Therefore, it was far from enough to just master the skills of piloting a mech on land. One had to adapt to various complex environments.
The cunning nature of sea monsters and their different attributes, as well as abilities, required pilots to adapt to the situation and react quickly as they operated the mechs.
The knowledge that students could learn in this field was unimaginable!
Almost all the teachers at the Zhongtian Mech Training Center consisted of the most outstanding mech pilots in the military.
They had started learning ever since Wu Mo developed mechs, so they possessed a lot of experience.
On top of that, they had two special teachers—Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng.
However, elites like them were pillars of the country, and they always had to be on standby to fight the sea monsters.
Hence, they could not stay in the Zhongtian Mech Training Center forever.
At the end of each month, these two specially hired teachers would take time out to give a lecture.
The students of the Zhongtian Mech Training Center would eagerly wait for lessons from these two teachers.
Today, however, their anticipation reached an unprecedented climax!
“Heavens! I heard that Chief Engineer Wu’s coming to our school to give a lecture. I wonder if it’s true?”
“Of course it’s true. Didn’t you hear about it yesterday? The news has been spreading like wildfire, and plenty of students are scrambling to get a spot in the lecture!”
“Sigh, what a pity. It would be great if we could attend the lecture too. But it seems that only the elite students are eligible. We’re not qualified.”
“Haha, don’t say that. Many teachers want to attend the lecture too, but not every teacher can enjoy the opportunity!”
The entire center discussed the event enthusiastically, and Wu Mo’s arrival became a well-known topic.
Many students and even teachers rubbed their fists as they thought of ways to attend the lecture!
After all, this was the only time Wu Mo was going to give a lecture, and there were a limited number of seats. It was impossible for the entire school to squeeze into a small classroom.
They picked the largest classroom in the Zhongtian Mech Training Center, and it could accommodate eighty people at one time.
When Wu Mo arrived, there was a huge commotion in the entire training center!
Wu Mo arrived at the gate in a government vehicle. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw that the center’s gate had been decorated with lanterns, streamers, and even banners.
His arrival had filled the entire place with red lanterns, ribbons, flowers, and other decorations. The entire Zhongtian Mech Training Center had taken on a new look!
The students were either focused on the windows or looking around the classroom absent-mindedly.
When they saw Wu Mo and a group of people enter the training center, the principal and teachers went forward to welcome them. The students were all extremely excited.
“Look, Chief Engineer Wu is here!”
“Sigh, it’s such a pity that we can’t personally welcome him.”
“Welcoming is nothing! I want to take a picture with Chief Engineer Wu. It would be an opportunity of a lifetime!”
Wu Mo had great achievements in the field of scientific research and made great contributions in the fight against the sea monsters. As such, he was as noble as a god in the eyes of the young students.
After Wu Mo entered the center, he had a long conversation with Principal Liu of the Zhongtian Mech Training Center and learned more about their situation.
“Mr. Wu, your classroom is on the eighth floor of the research building. It has eighty seats, and there are exactly eighty elite students attending your lecture this time…”
Principal Liu briefed Wu Mo on the arrangements and led him to the office building so that he could rest.
The lecture was scheduled for 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm in the afternoon.
Wu Mo nodded. The purpose of this lecture was to spread the basic knowledge of mech piloting. It did not matter to him when and where it was held.
Soon after, Wu Mo entered the office building with the principal to get a better understanding of the office facilities.
As Wu Mo looked around the entire training center, he was filled with emotions.
With China’s current professional training in the mech field, there would definitely be a large number of outstanding mech pilots in the future!
He could foresee that the sea monsters would have a hard time in the future and would no longer be able to cause any harm to China.
This was because every time a sea monster appeared, mechs would immediately follow to kill it.
…
“Look, Mr. Wu is here!”
When Wu Mo stepped into the office building and looked around, the teachers talked about him excitedly.
They looked at Wu Mo as if he was a superstar or an idol.
Even though these teachers were young, they were the first batch of pilots to join the mech industry.
Each of them had been inspired by Wu Mo to choose this path.
“Hmm, is the scene of that glorious battle still playing here?”
Wu Mo’s gaze fell on a television on the wall. It kept playing the battle where he defeated the mantis sea monster with the Divine Dragon mech.
At that time, Wu Mo was like a god who had descended to the mortal world. His first time piloting a mech shocked the entire world.
The mantis sea monster was known as the monster that ranked second, but it was defeated by Wu Mo’s Divine Dragon mech in the end. Defeating it ended up being as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!
There were also many portraits depicting Wu Mo’s many glorious deeds on the surrounding walls.
It was obvious that Wu Mo’s influence in the Zhongtian Mech Training Center was unrivaled.
Finally, the moment that everyone had been waiting for arrived.
At 2.00 pm, Wu Mo walked into the classroom in the research building.
“Welcome, Chief Engineer Wu. All the students who are attending the lecture have arrived!” Principal Liu said with a smile.
