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.”
