Chapter 1926 EP1927. Deja vu

It is not the largest, and the number of equipment placed in the armory is not as large as the three rooms I have seen before.

But after entering this armory and seeing the equipment lined up against the wall, the expression on Shi Xiaolei's face changed much more than when he visited the first three rooms.

"This is..." When he came to one of the machines, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help stretching out his right hand, and stuck it to the cool metal shell.

He stroked it lightly twice, then took two steps back and looked at the whole picture again.

Turning his head to look at Zheng Xian and Peng Mingwei standing aside, Shi Xiaolei finally couldn't help asking: "Is this a combat mech for individual soldiers?"

"Yes. Although its performance has not been tested in actual combat, its basic performance has been verified to a certain extent through the tests of some items arranged for it during the construction period." Nodding, Zheng Xian faced Introduced to Shi Xiaolei with a smile: "Now we call this model Kirin 1. According to the design ideas of those comrades in the scientific research department, it is a basic model with relatively balanced capabilities in all aspects and is more suitable for newcomers to get started. Soldier armor."

Hearing Zheng Xian's introduction in his ears, Shi Xiaolei's eyes stayed on the mech in front of him.

It's not about how powerful it looks, how big it is, or how many terrifying large-caliber weapons it carries. The reason why he kept staring at it was purely because its shape seemed familiar to Shi Xiaolei.

To put it more bluntly, in a certain game that Shi Xiaolei had 'played' in the cloud before traveling, there happened to be a mecha that looked quite similar to the one in front of him. Whether it's the size of the mecha itself, its external outline, or the structure and proportions of its limbs, it's almost the same as the mecha in Shi Xiaolei's memory.

Having said that, why did Shi Xiaolei's expression change so much when he walked into this armory? It was because after he saw this mecha, the mecha he had seen in the game screen immediately appeared in his mind, and then he couldn't help but reacted, "Am I dreaming?"

"Tai...uh, Kirin Type 1? That is to say, there are Type 2 and Type 3 behind?" Shi Xiaolei asked curiously when he withdrew his attention.

"Type 2 is under development, and it is estimated that the first test machine will be built in a few months." Zheng Xian nodded, and answered Shi Xiaolei's question unabashedly: "In addition, in addition to In addition to the continued research on the Kirin series, the comrades in the scientific research department also listed several new directions, named them Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, and Xuanwu respectively, and launched further research."

"The Four Spirits Project. As far as I know, it should be called such a name." Echoing Zheng Xian's words, Peng Mingwei also interjected.

"That's right, it's the Four Spirits Project." Zheng Xian continued to introduce to Shi Xiaolei: "Including the Kirin series that this one belongs to, there are a total of five series of mechas, with different focuses. For example, the Kirin 1 in front of me , as I said just now, it has undergone some tests during construction before, what can you think of through this sentence?"

Is there anything wrong to say directly? Why is it like a class, and there is a question and answer session?

After pondering for a while, Shi Xiaolei shook his head: "You should tell me directly. Hehe, if it's a multiple-choice question, I can still try to fool you, but you asked a question and answer question... forget it, I can I don’t want to show shame.”

"Okay, then I won't make a fool of myself." Smiling, Zheng Xian announced the answer: "According to our assumption, the main purposes of the Kirin series of mechas are as follows. First, the positioning is similar to that in the military Ordinary soldiers are deployed in large quantities on battlefields where the conditions are not very extreme. Second, it is used as a trainer to help novice pilots learn to master mech driving skills. Third, it is used as an engineering mech. Incorporated into the Corps of Engineers."

"Ordinary soldiers with the largest number are the foundation of an army. Trainer aircraft are the basis for training a large number of qualified drivers. As for construction machinery, they are the basis for building various military facilities. No matter how you look at it, they are far from The word 'foundation' is not used. According to the history we have passed down to the present, or from the perspective of cultural customs, whenever the word 'foundation' is involved, people will unconsciously associate it with the land that can give birth to all things."

"As I said before, counting the other four models, there are five series of mechas in total. Among them, the green dragon corresponds to wood, the white tiger corresponds to metal, the red bird belongs to fire, and the basalt belongs to water. Counting the five elements, there is only one missing. earth."

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei interjected subconsciously: "Wait, isn't Huanglong the one corresponding to soil? Although I haven't learned much, I know a few fortune tellers in Chinatown. They told me that among the five elements The soil corresponds to Huanglong."

"Originally, it should have been Huanglong. However, considering that there is already a Qinglong among them, the two together are somewhat..." After sorting out his thoughts, Zheng Xian continued: "If it is a person who already knows this common sense, It’s not impossible to make a mistake. But from the perspective of making it easy for soldiers to recognize and accept it, it’s better to distinguish it a little bit. Therefore, when choosing code names for these five series of mechs, we canceled Huanglong and used The auspicious unicorn, which symbolizes 'virtuousness and carrying things', took its place."

Virtue carries things = earth = soil, so the unicorn is just used to correspond to the soil in the five elements, replacing the yellow dragon that should be in this position.

Turning around in his mind, Shi Xiaolei nodded his head to express his understanding: "So, the Kirin series is the basic model, which is not top-notch in any category, but it can be adapted to most jobs, so... well, I understand. "

"Then shall I continue?"

"Well~lightnovelpub.net~ I'm also very curious about the specialties of the other four series of mechas." Smiling, Shi Xiaolei took the initiative to propose: "Let's talk about Qinglong first, the mechas of that series are mainly What is this for?"

"The green dragon belongs to wood, and wood means endless life and more tenacious vitality. In addition, the dragon hides in the clouds, appears and disappears from time to time, and its traces are elusive. Combining these two points, what can you think of?" Asked this sentence At the same time, Zheng Xian already remembered Shi Xiaolei's reaction just now.

Shi Xiaolei can't repeat the same mistakes again, which makes Shi Xiaolei feel embarrassed. Thinking of this, Zheng Xian quickly continued his conversation and gave an answer before Shi Xiaolei could react: "The answer is the special forces. Compared with ordinary soldiers, special forces are stronger, more tenacious in vitality, and better at stealth operations." .”

"So, the positioning of the Qinglong series of mechas is equivalent to the special forces in the army?"

"Yes." Zheng Xian nodded: "Although the four spirits are equal, we can't talk about who is more powerful. But when we mentioned the four spirits, we blurted out that they were Qinglong Baihu Suzaku Xuanwu. Let’s talk about Qinglong first, isn’t it? So, according to this ranking, we positioned the Qinglong mecha as a ‘special soldier’, giving it the meaning of ‘combinedly speaking, it is more powerful than other mechas’.”
