Chapter 117 Pacific Rim
The thick fog instantly submerged Louis. In the blink of an eye, the thick fog disappeared again. Louis sighed and knew that he had been sent to another world.
"I don't know where I'm going?"
I looked around and found that it seemed to be a very ordinary modern town. From the surrounding signs, we can tell that this place should be the earth: because the signs are mainly English.
I walked to the street and kept looking around. I wanted to get more information, so I checked this mission: Kill five monsters and eliminate the crossing mouth.
"Monster?" Louis never expected that this mission was to kill monsters. From the mission introduction, we can tell that there are quite a few monsters, and there are teleportation points: "This setting is a bit familiar."
After looking around, Louis saw a small supermarket, walked in and pretended to buy something, and watched TV for a while, hoping to hear useful information.
I don’t know if it was my luck or the information specially prepared by the Seal of the Brave, the TV was playing information that was useful to him: the man on the screen was talking endlessly about the wall plan, claiming that this was a more reliable way to fight against the Kaiju Beast than the Skua Plan...
Seeing this, Louis already knew what world he had entered.
"Skuo's plan, wall, chrysanthemum... Pacific Rim." After buying a bottle of Coke, Louis did not rush to leave, and talked to the cashier as an ordinary person: "This guy has said so much, but I don't know if that wall is really useful?"
"Who knows? When the Skuo plan was implemented, these guys said the same thing." Perhaps it was too boring to be a supermarket cashier in this place. When the cashier saw someone chatting with him, he immediately started chatting with Louis all over the world.
In just half an hour, Louis already knew that he was in Kodiak, Alaska, and the Alaska base, one of the eight mecha bases in the Pacific Rim, was not far away. The base recruited skua drivers for many years.
"Are you going to sign up?"
After chatting for a while, Louis's questions were focused on the hunter mecha driver. The cashier's IQ was normal, and he quickly guessed Louis's thoughts.
"Yes, I'm going to drive the skuo and knock those monsters hard on the head."
"I wish you success."
"Thanks."
After leaving the supermarket, Louis has figured out the situation and sorted out his thoughts: "It seems he is going to be a driver again."
The plot of the Pacific Rim is not complicated, it is the story of the monsters suddenly coming to the earth to destroy it. The earth made a giant mecha "skua" and fought to the death with the monsters. In the end, they successfully defeated the monsters, bombed the pioneer's nest through the crossing mouth, and successfully saved the world.
After Louis thought about it, the best way to complete the task is to become the driver of the skua.
First of all, the monsters in this world (King Ju Beast) are nearly 100 meters tall, and the fifth-level monster that appeared in the final is even close to 200 meters. With such a large body, it is really difficult to kill without driving a mecha.
There is no way to not turn on the mecha. Louis can use the powerful power of the lightsaber to climb onto the monster, then break a small hole and drill into the monster's body, and kill the monster from the inside.
But he remembered that this monster was a pioneer of alien creatures, specially made biological weapons. The body was filled with various poisonous substances and radiation. If you want to kill it, you have to wear thick protective suits. That look is quite inconvenient to move, and it would be better to turn on the mecha and beat the monster to death.
The government of this world will develop giant mechas like skua. It is because the monster's body contains huge poison and radiation. After using many weapons to kill them, it will cause great damage to the earth's environment. It is why it creates mechas such as mechas, trying to make the monsters internally bleeding and die.
However, the monsters became stronger and stronger in the later stage. The mecha driver tried his best to kill them, and no longer cared about any pollution or not. Naturally, he had any powerful weapons to use.
In addition, the crossing mouth of the crossing opened by the alien pioneer and specially used to send monsters to the Earth is located at the Mariana Trench, so deep under the sea, if he doesn't drive the skua, he doesn't know how to get close to it.
"With my physical fitness, it should not be difficult to become a driver."
Skua has high requirements for drivers. He must pass the physical fitness and have sufficient cultural level. Otherwise, he will not be able to master the control of so many instruments and urgent troubleshooting, and must also be proficient in fighting.
All these requirements are in line with the only troublesome thing is that the skua needs two drivers. After the driver makes a neural connection, there are almost no secrets between them.
"I wonder if my current physical fitness and mental strength can support single driving?"
There are successful experience in single driving in the film, but they all have serious side effects. Louis's physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary humans. Perhaps he can be immune to those side effects?
"It's hard to determine just by speculation, so I'd better try it myself."
At the intersection not far away, I found a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the gate of the Alaska base. Louis successfully arrived at this Alaska mech base.
This is not only one of the major defense bases in the Pacific Rim, but also the production base of mechas and the training base for drivers.
Manufacturing, training, and combat are all here. The strongest skua in the base is the third-generation Mecha Dangerous Wanderer, and it is also the strongest combat power in the Alaska base.
Getting off the taxi, Louis noticed that there were posters of recruiting drivers next to the base gate, and there were also signs to let those who wanted to sign up know where to go.
This saved a lot of trouble. Louis just needed to follow the road pointed out by the sign and quickly found the driver registration point.
"Hello, are you here to register for the driver?" The receptionist saw Louis and walked over directly. After a brief question, he had already taken out the form and pen: "Fill in your personal information."
Louis looked at the table below and it was full of very basic information, such as names, and there was nothing more to do.
It seems that the base lacks drivers and does not care about the situation of the applicants at all. They only care whether the applicants can become qualified drivers.
On the way here, after learning that Louis wanted to register as a driver, the taxi driver also said a lot: for example, fewer and fewer people signed up to become a driver; it was difficult to become a skuo driver, and one out of a hundred applicants could not be released; and more and more drivers died in battle.
In other words, the skua driver has passed its most glorious period and has become a high-risk and low-reward job.
But this has nothing to do with Louis. His purpose is to complete the task. Moreover, he feels that those "clumsy" chrysanthemum beasts cannot threaten him at all. That thing is just attribute points waiting for him to receive.
Louis filled out the form and handed it to the receptionist. The other party just took a simple look and made sure that Louis had filled it in, but did not conduct any verification. Instead, he asked Louis if he had any private matters to go back to deal with?
"If you have private matters, you have three days to deal with your private matters, and then you have to go back here and undergo various tests. Once you pass the test, you can't leave the base casually." The receptionist explained the situation and let Louis understand why he was given time to deal with personal problems: "If not, you can go for the test now. If you pass the test, you have to start receiving relevant training... Similarly, you can't leave the base for a long time."
“I can get tested now.”
Of course, Louis had no private matters. He had arrived in this world within two hours, and he wanted to start training immediately.
"When you enter through that door, someone will take you to get tested." The receptionist handed the form back to Louis and asked him to take the form to enter the side door next to him.
Louis took the form and opened the door. He saw a serious soldier looking at him. When he saw the form in Louis's hand, he reached out and asked for it. After taking Louis through the long passage, he came to a spacious and bright physical examination room.
There were several doctors in white coats here. When they saw Louis coming, they joked: "It's been a long time since there's no new product. Look, he's a young and strong guy."
"..." Louis didn't say anything, but just smiled awkwardly and conducted various tests according to the instructions of these doctors.
In addition to basic tests such as height, weight, and vision, there are more detailed tests. Louis was checked from the inside out and the test results were quickly given.
"I have worked here for several years. This is the first time I have seen such a strong young man. He is so strong that he is enviable." An old doctor wearing round glasses took the test result and looked at Louis's body in surprise: "I hope you will become an excellent skua driver."
"Thanks."
This physical examination is just the beginning, which can only prove that Louis has the basic qualities to become a driver. Next, cultural knowledge assessment must be conducted to determine whether Louis's knowledge level is qualified.
Because Louis's physical fitness was too amazing, the inspectors believed that Louis's knowledge level was not too bad, so he would let him pass.
Now there are fewer and fewer people signing up for drivers, let alone such an excellent seedling. Even if the cultural course is almost there, you can give him some extra lessons in addition to training.
Louis did not give himself the opportunity to make up for the small class, and passed the second round of assessment successfully. Louis's outstanding qualities attracted Sturke Pantcoster, the commander-in-chief of the Skuo Project.
"Is this young man?"
Standing on the other side of the mirror, watching Louis conduct the third test: after passing the first two items, Louis has been confirmed to become the reserve skuo driver. The subsequent assessment is to better determine Louis' current abilities.
"Is this the first person he has defeated?"
"Third." The third item is not a fixed item. Louis said he knew how to fight, so he arranged for people to test his fighting ability. The result surprised everyone: "It was all instantly knocking down the opponent and winning."
