Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 522 The First Mech Pilot
Wu Mo nodded slightly and answered their questions seriously, "I've decided to place the pilot inside the mech after careful consideration. If the pilot remains in the command center, it would be no different from remote control."
Everyone listened to Wu Mo's words and stared nervously at this talented chief engineer. They were trying to make sense of his explanation.
Wu Mo's voice echoed throughout the entire venue. "The reason why I developed this super smart driving mode is to achieve true human-machine integration! This integration means that the pilot has to become one with the mech, but no one needs to worry about the pilot's safety."
Hearing Wu Mo's words, everyone felt increasingly confused. They found it hard to understand.
The pilot would be in a dangerous position because the pilot would be engaging in close combat with monsters on the front line. How could they not worry about the pilot's safety?
The puzzled audience could not help but wonder, 'Why are Chief Engineer Wu's words so confusing?'
However, Wu Mo explained, "I've designed at least eleven safety devices around the pilot's cabin. In other words, if the monster manages to destroy the mech's defenses and hurt the pilot, it means that the mech would already be damaged to the point where it can't move!"
Everyone finally understood. "So that's how it is. In other words, Chief Engineer Wu, you've placed the pilot's safety above the mech's. As long as the mech is still standing, the pilot will be safe and sound, right?"
Hearing the reporter's question, Wu Mo nodded his head.
However, the reporter did not seem to be satisfied. He asked another sharp question, "In that case, if the mech is destroyed, will the pilot die with the mech, Chief Engineer Wu?"
As soon as he said that, all the staff members at the venue frowned.
Which country did this guy come from?
Was he deliberately looking for trouble?
However, Wu Mo had already expected this.
His previous explanation had been leading up to this question. Therefore, Wu Mo already had his answer.
He smiled and said, "You're right. When the mech is destroyed, the person operating the mech will almost certainly die!"
Hearing Wu Mo admit this, the entire venue went into an uproar.
"Heavens! Chief Engineer Wu is tying a person's life to the mech, and he has publicly admitted it. Doesn't this mean that he has no care for human life?"
Everyone was riled up. The foreign reporters were already eager to attack Wu Mo together.
However, at this moment, Wu Mo suddenly gave a resounding reply that left everyone speechless.
"With that said, I'm confident that the mech I'm developing next will have a much higher defense level. There is almost no sea monster in the world that can destroy this mech!"
Wu Mo's entire body emanated great confidence when he said this. It was as if a majestic aura was wreaking havoc in the entire venue, and it affected everyone.
If someone else had said the same thing, everyone might have laughed it off and thought that he was bragging.
However, those words had come from Wu Mo's mouth, and no one dared to underestimate their weight.
"Chief Engineer Wu, you're confident enough to say that no sea monster in this world can destroy the mech you're going to develop. Will you bear the responsibility for making this claim for the rest of your life?" the reporter continued to ask.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm The staff members were about to freak out, so they warned him with their eyes. Two of them quietly approached the reporter and tried to shut him up!
It was not because they did not allow reporters to ask questions in public but because this guy obviously had ill intentions.
The questions he asked were very sharp and targeted. They were not meant to answer the public's doubts about the super smart driving mode, hence the staff could not tolerate it.
Furthermore, asking such questions would change the direction of the entire press conference and turn a good press conference into a nitpicking session.
"I'm willing to take responsibility for this for the rest of my life," Wu Mo said with a smile. "In other words, the mech will not be destroyed to the extent that it would hurt the pilot if it's attacked by a monster. It will be able to escape to the shore and return to the base!"
His stand was clear. Wu Mo was willing to take responsibility for his claims! The reporter was speechless and could not ask any more questions.
Since Wu Mo's answer was clear, what else could he pick on?
Following that, other reporters asked similar questions about various aspects of the super smart driving system.
Finally, a reporter from China raised a question before the press conference ended. "May I ask, when the next mech with this super-smart piloting system is born, who will be the lucky person to pilot it?"
It was an extremely important question because this person would become the first pilot in human history to truly realize the integration of human and machine.
This pilot would enter the mech and become the first person to fight monsters at close range. So, who would be the lucky one?
Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, this person must be psychologically strong. This person must be able to face danger calmly. These are the basic conditions."
Everyone nodded. These were reasonable conditions. If one's mental fortitude was low, how would one be able to operate the mech properly when facing monsters?
"Second of all, this person must possess basic fighting skills. It would be best if this person is a martial artist!" Wu Mo continued.
"Oh? A martial artist?"
Hearing this, many people could not help but laugh. Did one need to know martial arts to operate a mech?
However, Wu Mo's next explanation made everyone come to a realization.
"The original intention of my research on human-machine integration is to allow human consciousness to replace machinery, so as to achieve the most flexible and adaptable attack or evasion movements.
"In other words, the mech's movements will be exactly the same as the human's.
"Therefore, when the pilot has basic martial arts skills, the mech will be able to imitate all of the pilot's movements. These movements will become the strongest weapon against the monsters!"
Everyone fell into deep thought. If the mech's pilot did not have sufficient knowledge of basic combat movements, the pilot would not be able to fully utilize the mech's capabilities, right?
As a result, it would go against the original intention of human-machine integration.
Shortly after, someone walked into the venue. When he saw Wu Mo, he smiled and nodded respectfully.
He was the mech pilot that Wu Mo had appointed. His name was Hong Peng, and he was an experienced coach from the Martial Arts Club.
His martial arts attainments were extensive, and he had repeatedly won world-class medals in fighting competitions.
More importantly, Hong Peng was passionate about mechs. He was unique in the martial arts and combat world.
In addition, Hong Peng had an advanced degree and majored in structural engineering. In all aspects, he was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to operate a mech in the entire country.
