Chapter 160 – Epoch-making Controls

Inside the Type-K Beast Armor’s control center…

The introductory course provided by the electronically synthesized voice lasted for 15 minutes .

After listening to the introduction, Chen Yu roughly understood how to control this “armor . ” Facing the camera, he said, “I believe everyone should’ve gotten a rough understanding of this Type-K Beast Armor . We’ll now move on to the next phase of the review—actual operation .

“According to the tutorial, machines in the Human Weapon Series all adopt something called the liquid-touch control mode . In other words, the pilot will have to enter this glass tube and move within the special liquid . ”

When Chen Yu pressed down on the activation button, a vortex immediately formed inside the petri dish . The vortex drained all of the liquid inside . Afterward, a “click” sound appeared, and the petri dish’s curved door opened .

After giving Little Peach a glance, Chen Yu faced away from the camera and removed his mask . He then wore something similar to a respirator before putting on his opera mask over it . Once done, he turned back around and said, “Once inside the tube, my words will be relayed to an external speaker . So, even if I remove my watch, everyone will still hear my voice . ”

After saying so, Chen Yu removed his watch and handed it over to Little Peach . “Hold onto it properly . ”

“Okay . ” After receiving the watch, Little Peach promptly wore it on her own wrist .

“Now, let’s head inside and see what kind of technology this liquid-touch control mode is exactly . ”

The moment Chen Yu stepped into the petri dish, the glass door automatically closed and locked itself .

Glug… Glug… Glug…

Simultaneously, pale green liquid started spewing out from beneath Chen Yu, the liquid enveloping Chen Yu entirely in the blink of an eye .

“Huh?” After tentatively moving his arms around, Chen Yu said in surprise, “Interesting . The viscosity of this liquid is relatively high . Executing movements while surrounded by this liquid is somewhat taxing . If a weak child were put in here, they wouldn’t last very long .

“On another note, breathing is smooth here . There seems to be oxygen dissolved in the liquid, and I can easily breathe it in through this respirator in my mouth . I don’t feel any discomfort whatsoever . ”

Straightening his mask, Chen Yu looked toward the camera and continued, “According to the tutorial, the liquid-touch control mode can recognize the pilot’s actions with extremely high accuracy through a combination of light wave scanning and fluid mechanics . Meanwhile, every one of the pilot’s actions will be reflected on the mechanical armor, significantly improving the flexibility of single combat .

“That’s right . In the 24th century, this giant is only considered as a personal armor for soldiers . It is also one of the smaller models among many personal armors . Moreover, this armor isn’t responsible for direct combat . Instead, its primary function is to destroy buildings and industrial facilities . It is supposed to advance as a group together with other armors .

“From this, we can infer something interesting . ”

Raising a finger inside the petri dish, Chen Yu said, “Future warfare will be conducted completely differently compared to modern warfare . Wars would not involve large numbers of professional soldiers . An entire country’s military might only consist of a few thousand skilled, strong-willed, and well-trained combat veterans .

“If we refer to this Beast Armor of ours, seeing as it is labeled Type-K, there will naturally be Type-A, Type-B, Type-C Armor, and so on . We can already wage a miniature war with just 10 of these armors . If the entire Human Weapon Series takes the field, it might be possible to wage a war that sweeps the entire world . ”

[Fine analysis! I think so as well!]

[Pigs think like that as well . ]

[I curse your mother!]

[What UP said makes sense . Even now, our military has already started taking the elite route . Swarm tactics have long since lost effectiveness . ]

[Liquid manipulation? How fresh . I never heard of this before . ]

[UP, you just provided ideas for the various governments . ]

[Traditional operating methods are outdated, while brain wave manipulation isn’t realistic . After all, people will always have random thoughts . This liquid-touch control mode should be a transition . ]

[Doesn’t the host look like a lab rat soaked in formalin?]

[Haha! UP is in Japan! Don’t ask me how I found out!]

“Of course . ” Suddenly, Chen Yu changed his tone of voice . “The above analysis is just my personal guess . I won’t bear any responsibility for it . My analysis might not be correct, either . Regardless, let’s end the topic here and start earnestly reviewing the product . ”

Chen Yu straightened his body and stretched out his hand to touch the top of his head after saying so .

Whoosh!

A purple light suddenly enveloped Chen Yu’s body, scanning all of his movements .

When the purple light came into contact with the green liquid, a strange chemical reaction occurred . Instantly, the originally “green” world around Chen Yu turned translucent!

“How interesting!” Chen Yu exclaimed in pleasant surprise . “I previously wondered whether the green liquid would affect my vision . Now, it seems that won’t be a problem . The liquid turns translucent when in contact with the purple light . Moreover, the translucent liquid seems to have vision enhancing properties . I can see much more clearly than normal . This technology really is ama-”

Boom! Boom!

Before Chen Yu could finish his narration, the world around him suddenly shook! The scenery outside the window also started rising .

It turned out that the metal T-rex had straightened its posture…

“The armor is activated . ” Looking down at his hands, Chen Yu said, “The liquid has changed! It’s much more viscous than before . Now, then…”

Under the attention of over two million people, Chen Yu slowly and tentatively crouched .

Boom…

The scenery outside lowered in sync with Chen Yu’s actions .

[Crap! It’s moving! It’s moving!]

[Amazing!]

[This is so damned cool…]

[I want to play with it as well . ]

[I’m spamming Fs for you!]

[Everything’s fine, so just walk two steps forward . Just two steps . ]

[Not only can you walk, but you can also run . You can even jump up and down!]

[If the host does yoga inside the liquid, what kind of actions will the dinosaur outside make?]

[What if he pees inside the liquid?]

[Will there be bubbles if he farts? Will the metal dinosaur fart as well?]

[I just want to know which part of the dinosaur the host’s ‘little brother’ corresponds to? Is it the tail?]

[In that case, wouldn’t the sweeping attack mean…]

[You guys should shut your mouths right now . The engineer that designed this thing is losing his mind . ]

Squat, stand up, wave…

Chen Yu carefully performed several sets of actions . He then explained, “The sensitivity is very high . My left arm corresponds to the mech’s neck, and my left wrist corresponds to the head . Opening my palm is equivalent to opening the mech’s mouth . Aside from that, my right arm corresponds to the tail, while my legs correspond to the mech’s two legs . As for the mech’s upper body and lower body, I won’t elaborate on those .

“So, if I want to replicate the T-rex’s iconic posture, the movements I need to make inside the tube should be like this!”

After saying so, Chen Yu stretched his left arm forward and right arm backward . He then did a half squat and looked forward…

[…]

[Are you pretending to be an ostrich?]

[I’m dying from laughter . ]

[Hahaha(*^▽^*)]

[The enemy will never know who or what is controlling this mecha . ]

Retracting his actions, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, “I am only trying to mimic a real T-rex . Typically, when not in combat, both arms should always remain wrapped around the chest . That way, the T-rex’s tail will curl up to prevent damaging nearby friendly units .

“If we go by my previous statement that future wars will be fought by only a small number of elites, then only those that had undergone vigorous training would be qualified to pilot a mech like this . Meanwhile, I am only a handsome product reviewer . I don’t have any professional training for piloting this mech . Hence, I will only be testing the basic performance of this product . ”

Pausing slightly, Chen Yu turned toward Little Peach and said, “Come over here . ”

“My King, what do you need me to do?”

“Have the camera fly out and give our audience a distant view of the dinosaur . ”

“Okay . ”

Little Peach nodded . After reopening the doors to the hall, she swiped her finger across the watch, flying the floating camera out of the metal dinosaur’s body .

“Well, then…”

Inside the livestream rooms, the scene of the 130-meter-tall metal T-rex stretching its neck and opening its ferocious mouth played out .

“Roar!”

Powerful soundwaves diffused to the T-rex’s surroundings, the sound waves causing trees to bend and rubble to fly…

“Are you ready? I’m going to start moving . ”
