Get Moving

(Third update today! Please collect and recommend!)

Finally, with Black's guidance, Mu Fan found a buckle-type switch button, opened the two-layer pressure rotary door on the back, and entered the cockpit.

It was exactly the same as the last time he saw it, but last time he hadn't seen it clearly before Black fiddled with it into body coordination mode.

Black naturally followed Mu Fan into the cockpit. At this moment, while flying, he was lecturing and teaching, "The mecha you're training with this time is still this EH01 Type."

Mu Fan muttered softly, which Black keenly caught.

"Why? Because it's broken enough, low-level enough. Can you handle a high-level one?" Black flew in a figure-eight pattern in the air.

"The EH01 from last time, those movements you did don't exist in reality at all, or if they do, they're not easily seen. Without liquid metal muscle components, completing humanoid movements is more than ten times harder than you imagine! So don't even think about it before the Sixth Generation Mecha." Egg Lord felt his tone was extremely cool. Seeing Mu Fan's serious and receptive look, when he turned behind Mu Fan, the smiling eyes on the sphere flashed by.

"What am I teaching you today? Today I'll teach you real mecha operation."

Mu Fan sat in the driver's seat. On his left and right sides were thirteen red and blue mechanical rods, and in front of him, on the upper half-arc of the keyboard, were one hundred and seventy-eight control buttons.

"The purpose of mecha production is a robot based on the concept of a magnified human body, with improvements made on this basis. This mecha is a product of the Earth Era. Being able to perform a relatively large number of human body movements with 178 keys is already simplified to the extreme."

Mu Fan pulled a long face. If the First Generation was so simplified, then the First Generation, Second Generation...

"After you're familiar with this basic one, you'll start to get in touch with the next generation 196-Key Control. I will give you systematic training and teaching. Don't worry, you won't have a chance to use this mecha in the future. This one was specially adjusted for you." Black explained according to his own thoughts, not noticing Mu Fan's thoughts.

"Don't suggest that mechanical keys are outdated, that's simply ignorant! Just the components on these low-generation mechas number in the thousands, not to mention high-generation mechas. A machine weighing a hundred times making human movements is the original intention, but don't forget that in real combat, you need to make non-human movements!! Can you simulate that? Can you twist your joints? A true mecha expert is someone who can make unimaginable movements with the existing mecha body!" Seeing Mu Fan's pouting expression towards the mechanical key control panel, the white sphere instantly turned red. Black was angry.

Corresponding to strength is skill. When controlling most mechas, the requirement for personal strength is 0. What is needed is physical endurance and mental acuity. Mu Fan listened to the concepts in Black's language, and he felt that what Black said was very insightful.

How could he know that on an edge planet of the Federation, in this barren and dilapidated place, a robot was instilling in him a more vast and ancient mecha concept inherited from another parallel plane.

Under Black's guidance, Mu Fan pressed the start button. The screen in front lit up, and Mu Fan's palms were slightly sweaty. This was his first formal operation of this mecha that was incredibly close to reality.

He pushed the hydraulic transmission rod with his left hand. "Buzz." Mu Fan felt his whole body move with the cockpit. His right hand, where was his right hand? Quickly perform horizontal force calibration.

His left hand quickly lifted and tapped A3, A7, B4, E5... on the control panel.

This was for fine-tuning the mecha's leg movements. If the toes were pointing down, then if it stepped down, the mecha would definitely fall.

E5, what's after E5?

Mu Fan fumbled, and the action that started smoothly quickly got stuck.

In the base, this white skeleton suddenly lifted its left foot and stepped forward, but in the air as it stepped out, the mecha's ankle suddenly twisted to the right, and then the mecha stepped down with the posture of a patient with a broken bone.

"Clang"

The white skeleton-like EH01 fell on its back on the ground, with the surrounding lights shining on it like an exhibition specimen.

Mu Fan's face was a little red. Black had explained for a long time, and he had sworn he could do the first step well.

"Mu Fan, that posture just now was so embarrassing! I took a picture for you, look." Mu Fan, who had also tilted over with the mecha, saw Black fly over and project an image into his eyes.

The EH01 in the base was lying sprawled out, in the most unsightly posture possible.

So ashamed! Mu Fan was really embarrassed. He had boasted a little too much just now.

How could he know that most of the mechas in the PO Battle Network had half of their control keys reduced, while the mechas Black gave him were 100% restored according to real data. The shell was the same, but the inside was a different world.

"I, I'll try again." Mu Fan didn't have as much confidence facing Black for the first time.

"Hahahaha, alright, since Lord Black is so kind, I'll explain it to you again. Come, I'll teach you how to get up. Push the red control lever number 2 on the right hand 0.7 units, press keys a8, c6, and h1 on the control panel consecutively, while simultaneously pushing the blue control lever number 1 and the red control lever number 3 with your left hand, with a 2-second interval. Switch control levers with your right hand, keep your hand steady, yes, just like that..."

Mu Fan didn't take the first step, but under Black's guidance, he successfully controlled the mecha to stand up from a lying position.

Finally successful, Mu Fan's eyes were filled with tears.

The white skeleton-like EH01 Type mecha swayed and stood up in this abandoned base. It took its first step!

Inside the cockpit, Mu Fan was fully focused, his left and right hands flashing between the control panel and the mechanical levers.

"Don't look down! You have to remember every key you press!"

When Mu Fan lowered his head to confirm the keys on the control panel, Black discovered him and gave him another scolding. His state was interrupted by Black, and his hand trembled.

Bang! The EH01 Type mecha fell to the ground again.

"Mu Fan, you idiot!"

"It fell again..."

"Oh my god! Lord Egg! Can you please not embarrass Lord Black!"

Black excitedly let out a series of scoldings. Today, it had its fill of talking. Lord Black is mighty! The two eyes on the metal sphere were completely squinted, which was a sign of Black's extreme happiness.

Two hours later, when Mu Fan finally started to doubt himself, the mecha finally stumbled and walked ten steps. This was the standard Black had set for him.

Mu Fan leaned back in the driver's seat, mentally exhausted. This was more tiring than fighting fierce beasts outside. Just maintaining balance while the mecha walked made his brain feel like it was about to be filled with these dense control keys, not to mention fighting with this mecha in the future.

Isn't there a simpler way to operate this?! Mu Fan complained. How is this different from what I understood before?

"No!" Black lied without changing its expression. It would never tell Mu Fan that there would be a Brain Coordination Instrument in the future. That kind of thing was not suitable for harsh conditions at all. Hmm, let's just train using my method.

Poor Mu Fan still felt deep guilt about his "terrible" performance. He looked at Black apologetically and said, "Black, am I too disappointing to you?"

After flying around in a circle, Black said with certainty, "Yes! Knowing you're weak is all the more reason to strive! Work hard, young man!"

Mu Fan nodded with a determined expression.
