Chapter 2702 Steel Cavalry
Having known each other for so many years, Slude thinks he understands Joan's character very well.
He may only be too modest, but he will never brag. If he says that he "may not lose", it means that he will basically win.
The question is where does his confidence come from?
Slude admits that Joan's brains are good, but the driving skills of the mechanical armor have little to do with the level of intelligence, and more tests of on-the-spot reaction speed and physical coordination, and these qualities need to be cultivated and maintained through long-term high-intensity training.
Joan had only been in contact with mechanical armor for a short time many years ago, and it was still an old model that had been eliminated. She lacked understanding of the performance of "Steel Cavalry", and she was able to defeat her in mecha combat on the first test drive. The recognized ace driver in the battalion?
is it possible?
Slude took a deep look at Joan, and guessed that Mr. Mage was probably playing tricks and using magic to make up for the lack of driving skills. Unfortunately, she couldn't think of any magic that could bridge the gap in actual combat experience between the two sides.
"Joan, I can probably guess what you want to do. I might as well tell you that spells that enhance attributes and speed are not very useful for fighting between mechanical armors. If you have such an idea, it is better to give up as soon as possible. Waste of spells."
Slude's words aroused Joan's curiosity instead, so he asked her: "If I understand correctly, you mean that the output power of the mechanical armor is fixed, so the equivalent strength and agility attributes are also fixed values. Doesn’t it benefit the mechanical armor at the same time that the driver’s casting spells to improve their own attributes?”
Slude smiled helplessly.
"So dealing with smart people saves effort. I only reveal a little detail, and you can guess it all."
"It has nothing to do with whether you are smart or not. Isn't it the most basic common sense?"
Qiao An is also happy to be praised, but it's not interesting to brag, but it feels like being satirized.
Slude was annoyed by him, and said angrily: "You don't seem to realize that it is obvious to you at first glance. A simple thing like 1+1=2 may not be common sense among ordinary people. It took a lot of hard work to learn it! Alas, I am too lazy to talk about you. This is the performance parameter table of the steel cavalry. You have a look, and you have an idea, so you don’t have to wait until I beat you to the ground and find an excuse that you are not familiar with the performance of the mechanical armor. !"
Joan took the parameter sheet from Slude and smiled gratefully at her.
"Slude, in fact, I've always wanted to tell you...you just have a fierce face, but you are actually kind-hearted, a good person with a cold face and a warm heart."
"Is there anyone who praises you so much? I beg you, shut up!" Slude turned his head and walked towards the mechanical armor training room next door angrily.
Noticing the gloating eyes of Conti and Haakon, Joan felt that it was necessary to teach the young people a little bit of experience in the world, so she said earnestly: "Don't think that Slude is really angry with me, but she is actually praised by me. I was so embarrassed that I pretended to be angry and hid and had fun by myself, don’t laugh, it would be embarrassing for her to hear it.”
But Conti and Haakon laughed harder.
Joan couldn't help but feel sorry for their emotional intelligence.

...
After a quick glance at the performance data, Joan couldn't help raising his eyebrows and whistled.
The second-generation mass-produced amphibious mechanical armor "Steel Cavalry" of the Kolas Empire has an output power of up to 36 points, equivalent to the level of an adult cloud giant.
What surprised him even more was that this seemingly cumbersome steel construct was surprisingly flexible, with an equivalent agility attribute of up to 18 points. Even flesh and blood creatures similar in size to the steel cavalry were rarely so flexible.
Putting away the data sheet, Joan walked through the force field wall and came to the training room next door.
There is a landing pad in the center of the spacious hall, and two silver steel giants about 15 feet high stand side by side.
Joan walked up to one of the steel cavalrymen and compared them with the Yangbo mecha, and found that the two were similar in appearance. The main difference was that the steel cavalry was equipped with a turbo steam booster driven by a magic crystal on the back.
Driven by the magic crystal steam engine, the large propeller rotates at a high speed, and the swirling airflow of the blades provides the steel cavalry with a forward momentum. The angle of the blades can also be fine-tuned through the rudder disc to change the direction of thrust.
The best application scenario of this booster is of course in the water, just like a ship propeller, it can push the steel cavalry to sail quickly in the waters.
On land, booster engines can also come in handy in certain special circumstances.
For example, when crossing terrains such as snow, sand, and mud, equip the steel cavalry with equipment similar to "surfboards" on the soles of the feet, and cooperate with the strong thrust provided by the turbo engine behind it to quickly cross the snow, sand, and mud. slide.
According to the operation method introduced by Slude, Joan opened the steel cavalry cabin door, and an escalator automatically dropped down.
Climb up the ladder into the engine room, the door closes by itself, and the lamps attached to the bulkhead and ceiling with "inextinguishable flames" are lit up.
The interior space is fairly spacious, and there are two drivers as standard, one for operation and the other for communication and navigation. In fact, it is not a problem to cram four people in.
Joan sat in the driver's seat and looked around, and found a thick layer of silver-gray pads attached to the interior of the cabin.
After a little identification, it is recognized that it is a composite material composed of stellate and graphite. It is said to have excellent insulation and noise reduction properties. It is used as the inner lining of the mechanical armor, presumably to block the current and sound wave attacks from the outside world.
The operation method of the Steel Cavalry is almost exactly the same as that of the Yangbo Mecha. Qiao An will soon be able to control it freely, so he turns on the communication device and tells Slude that the sparring can begin.
"Hehe! Then I'll be impolite!"
Slude's voice came through the communication device, and the laughter was still echoing in Joan's ears. The mechanical armor on the opposite side had already rushed towards it with big strides!
"So straightforward? You underestimate me too!" Joan muttered to himself.
