Mecha Combat Elements: Arm Reattachment

"Can you do it?" Victor stared, not even bothering to answer Yelo, but instead rapidly typed on the keyboard, bringing up the previous playback—but not the drone's monitoring footage, but rather the cockpit view.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

Hearing Victor's exclamation, Yelo immediately leaned closer:

"What? What?"

"That arm wasn't torn off; it was being disassembled for maintenance," Victor said, pointing to the image on the control screen showing the extent of damage to the machine.

"I know you don't understand this, but you just need to know that when he detected the missile approaching, he deliberately made a mistake, causing the Wrist Interface on his left arm and the Tactical Dagger to jam."

"What's the point of this? Or is it a mistake?" Yelo wasn't a professional; as a game commentator, he didn't understand the significance of this maneuver.

Victor shook his head vigorously and said:

"George's Shield's Electronic Warfare Capability are even inferior to many 5th Generation Unit 6th Generation Mecha, but its biggest feature is its Modular Design, which makes it easier than other mechs to replace damaged parts or switch equipment according to the battlefield environment. However, it's not that other manufacturers don't want modularity; it's just that the issue of precision loss after modularization has been solved by only Konstantin Company so far... Ah, thank you for the reward from Constantine's Design Department!"

"So?" Looking at his partner who had unwittingly gotten a free meal, Yelo rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless. Victor could only shrug and say:

"Modularity means that it can be disassembled at any time, just like building blocks. George Augustus used this to his advantage by dismantling all the heavy equipment after capturing the mech. However, since the equipment is modular, the limbs are also modular. Of course, in the game, you can change equipment with one click, so there is no such design."

"You mean, the four limbs of George's Shield can be easily disassembled like this?" Yelo roughly understood what Victor meant, and seeing Augustus starting to rewrite the OS again, he knew there wouldn't be any fun for a while, so he immediately asked more probing questions.

"No, otherwise, on the battlefield, someone could easily tug your arm and you'd fall off. What would that look like?" Victor rolled his eyes at Yelo, then pointed to several of George's Shield's movements in the replay:

"Generally speaking, disassembling a limb requires some special mechanisms, just like using a precision screwdriver to tighten special screws. However, Mr. George was obviously very familiar with such mechanisms. He used the screwdriver to jam the arm of the machine, and then quickly disassembled the arm of the machine by making a movement similar to an active dislocation of his shoulder."

"So what is he doing now? Rewriting an OS with only one hand?" Yelo watched Victor twist his arm, his lips twitching slightly. Not daring to ask if it was possible, he changed the subject.

Victor glanced at the OS twice, shook his head, and said:

"First of all, I don't know how to write an OS, but I can tell that this is probably not Operating System, but a set of Macro Instruction."

"Such complex Macro Instruction?" Yelo looked at the code, which already had dozens of lines, and clicked his tongue slightly. Victor, however, sighed.

"This is Real Mecha, not a game where you can launch missiles by writing 'A' and raise a shield to defend by writing 'B'. To control Master-Slave Random Mecha through non-master-slave feedback, you need to edit the movement of every Electromagnetic Muscle Bundle. But as it stands, it seems to be all right-hand movements."

"Quite professional." Listening to the commentator's words in the Live Broadcast Room, Mr. George's lips curled up slightly. He quickly entered the preset actions into the Onboard Computer and took a deep breath.

They began to sense the Gu Poison Body hidden nearby, using these invisible ghosts to determine the location of surrounding enemies.

He wasn't planning to use this opportunity to escape; on the contrary, he wanted to find the most dangerous chance to break out.

After all, if you want to stir up the audience's emotions, sneaking away when no one's around is as thrilling as fighting your way out in a hail of bullets.

He pretended to adjust his breathing in front of the camera, and used the Great Yin Molting Technique to force out some sweat, making himself appear to be overly exhausted. He also secretly loosened a few screws in the cockpit to make the machine more prone to problems.

Having done all this, the surrounding mechs began to converge. Hearing the commentator's tense shouts, he narrowed his eyes, opened the mech's control panel, and displayed the detailed condition of the mech, which was now riddled with holes due to his violent operation, to the audience.

Hearing the pessimistic voices around him, he knew the time was almost right. The engine roared again, and strings of characters appeared on the Onboard Computer. The program he had just written began to run. As an aircraft entered the radar range, he suddenly rushed out of the cover.

"It moved! Augustus's mech moved again, and his target... no, it wasn't breaking through, but the mech he had previously defeated!"

"Mr. Augustus's hands were not on the Joystick, but on the keyboard. What was he planning to do?"

"Missiles! Three this time! Oh my god, what I Think? The missiles were hit by the kicked stones! And two more... oh my god, secondary explosions! Secondary explosions! Was this what you expected, George?!"

Suddenly, Yelo paused, and seeing his partner abruptly turn his head, Victor's face darkened. Before Yero could speak, he said directly:

"Don't look at me, I can't do it, at least not in real life!"

"So you're saying it can be done in the game?" Yelo kept his eyes glued to the screen, but he wouldn't let it go. Victor immediately retorted, annoyed.

"If you can add terrain destruction effects to the Battle Mechs, I think I can give it a try!"

"Ah, sorry, I forgot. Oh, the machine's manual mechanism started moving. Was it not Mr. George operating it himself, but from the previous program? Oh, he twisted off the arm of the George's Shield that we destroyed earlier!"

Victor didn't say much about his partner's quick change of topic; his attention was entirely focused on the Mechanical Arm that had precisely detached the left arm of George's Shield.

"Damn, I knew that piece of code looked familiar! It's the code for the Hangar Manipulator Arm! It was mixed in with a bunch of miscellaneous code... Oh, it's not miscellaneous code, it's the code for fixing the mechanical body's knuckles to simulate the Mechanical Arm!"

As Victor suddenly realized what was happening, the gaunt mech in the video seized the opportunity to detach its seemingly thick left arm and, in a visually striking manner, forcefully slammed it into its exposed interface.

Click!

With a soft click indicating the connection was complete, the left arm, which had been red in the aircraft's status diagram, turned blue again on the screen inside the cockpit. At the same time, three new weapon icons appeared in the left-side indicators.

His eyes swept over the three icons, and George Augustus's hands slid like soft tentacles into the Hand Controller that normally take about two seconds to put on independently. Then, his left arm, which looked somewhat bulky compared to the rest of his body, rose up, aimed at the machine that was charging towards him while firing projectiles, and pressed three buttons in succession.

"BOOM--!!!"

Regarding why the protagonist suddenly knows how to pilot a mecha...

This is because it's Master-Slave Random Mecha, unlike Traditional Gundam models that are entirely controlled via pedals, Joystick, and buttons.

If I had to say, it's closer to mobile suits like those from G Gundam or Full Metal Panic, which respond to the pilot's movements.

In other words, as long as you are sensitive enough to body movements, you can start it directly. Of course, the OS Itself is also a problem.

However, the protagonist possesses the Xuanjun's [Masterful Creation] ability, so as long as he does his homework beforehand, it is not difficult to write the pre-prepared OS into the mecha on the spot.

As for why it was prepared so early...

Surely no one would believe that this mech carrying Gambling Ghost just accidentally crashed in front of the protagonist, right?
