I Am the Swarm

In a huge command room, surrounded by cold metal walls, dozens of large screens are hung in the air, and there are countless small screens below, almost a humanoid creature is sitting in front of each small screen.

At this time, harsh alarm sounds echoed in the room, and they were checking the instruments they were in charge of in a panic, their fingers beating quickly on the input device in front of them, hoping to get relevant data as soon as possible.

Several humanoid creatures quickly came to the bridge of the command room. Before they could stand still, the leader asked, "How is the situation?"

"Sir, there is an energy level reaction at the exit of the wormhole, and it is about to open!" A person below shouted.

"What's going on? According to Dr. Bemba's calculation, it will be 15 months before it will be opened again!" There were no errors.

"Not sure, sir, but it's about to open right now."

"Where's Dr. Bemba?"

"The doctor has been notified, he is coming, and it is expected to take another five minutes."

"It's too late, it's about to open, who is on duty?"

"It's the Rambler and the Whirlwind Dancer, sir!"

"Send them to check immediately, and at the same time call back all the teams that are on vacation!"

"Yes, sir!"

On the huge metal base outside the command room, a huge hatch with a height of 60 meters on the side slowly opened, and two mecha giants who were only slightly shorter than the hatch slowly walked out.

When walking, the collision between the steel body and the metal ground caused the entire base to vibrate slightly.

On the huge square in front of the hatch, two missiles that also reached a height of more than 50 meters rose from the silo.

"Hello, Rooney?"

"The signal is normal and can be heard."

"Don't be so serious, brother." The speaker joked realistically, and then said: "Seeing these two big sticks, I have a bad feeling."

"The wormhole suddenly opened abnormally, and everyone was unprepared. We must go as fast as possible to see what is going on."

"I knew it would be good to be on duty with you. I hope those engineers have time to dismantle the explosives department of the missile."

"Unfortunately, time obviously doesn't allow it."

"You know what? Rooney! That's why I hate you!"

In the cab, Rooney shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter, Jiqi, I'm just on the road for a while, you'd better be honest, I don't want my partner to go wrong."

Ji Qi was about to fight back, when the commander's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel: "Be serious, soldier! For your own sake and for ours, don't delay, hurry up and set off!"

Mecha pilots are a new product in the Commonwealth. More than ten years ago, the Jane O'Barker Trench in the deep sea suddenly emitted super-strong energy fluctuations, and then even opened a wormhole.

Shortly after the wormhole opened, it closed on its own. Due to their limited technological strength, the Botians who arrived searched hard for several months, but found nothing.

But at this moment, the wormhole opened again by itself, and a strange creature with a body length of more than 50 meters jumped out of it. It was fast and extremely strong, causing extremely heavy losses to the Botians.

Since the creature has a very strong resistance to conventional weapons, as a last resort, the Botians set up a trap and detonated three medium-yield nuclear bombs at close range to destroy it.

The monster was wiped out, but when the Botians were trying their best to clean up the pollution caused by the three nuclear bombs, they discovered something even more terrifying. The monster's corpse actually reacted with the radiation, and the pollution not only increased, but also spread slowly.

And this kind of pollution, until now, the Botians have no way to completely get rid of it, they can only block it and slow down its spread.

A few months after the incident, while the Botians were still arguing over who was responsible for the environmental pollution, the wormhole opened again and a second monster appeared. Thus, another polluted land was born.

At this time, the Bodi people really understood the crisis. The scientific researchers calculated that if there were 20 such polluted lands on their planet, the ecology of the entire planet would be changed. Although the Bodi people would not become extinct, the population More than 90% will become extinct.

Such a terrible consequence awakened the Bordians. They quickly united, coordinated global resources, and discussed a countermeasure.

The Mech Warrior project was put forward. Simply put, the plan is to create a giant mecha that is the size of a monster, and kill the monster by physical means to prevent its body from coming into contact with nuclear radiation.

The manufacturing difficulties of the mecha giant were quickly overcome with the global brainstorming efforts, but the original idea of ​​manipulating the mechas by artificial intelligence did not perform well. In the final analysis, their level is still limited, and the tedious and complicated algorithms make it impossible for intelligent programs to respond to complex and changeable battles in real time.

So the Botians could only change the plan and use manual operation. However, the structure of the mecha giant imitating the human body makes its operation very complicated, and for the sake of immediacy, it is difficult to reduce the difficulty of operation through the team. Competent drivers therefore become a new problem. They must have keen eyesight, super reflexes, fast and precise hand speed and good physical fitness. At the same time, it is not afraid of heights, and there are strict requirements on the overall situation and sense of space.

After selection, the appropriate number of people in the army was completely unable to meet the needs of the mech troops. During this period, the wormhole opened twice more, and two new polluted lands appeared on the Bodi people's planet.

Time waits for no one, in order to find a sufficient number of drivers in the shortest possible time, they have developed a simulated operating system, no matter what your previous job was, company employees, housewives, students, nerds and rotten women, even light sentences Criminals, as long as they can pass the primary selection and meet the standards after training, they can make an exception and become a glorious mecha warrior, and everything before is past the past.

Under such circumstances, the mech unit got enough pilots as they wished, but due to their different origins, their quality was uneven, which caused headaches for the commanders who commanded them.

Ji Qi belongs to the type that makes the commander a headache. He used to be a well-known professional game player with an out-of-the-box personality. He likes his current job very much. In his opinion, this kind of big toy is cooler than the previous virtual games. too much. Super fast hand speed and reaction allow him to make some fancy extreme moves even if he is driving a bulky machine. He pays attention to personal ability and likes to show off.

Rooney, on the other hand, is much more mature and stable. He used to be a senior executive of a large company. His hand speed is a bit slow, but his meticulous mind and keen insight allow him to always complete tasks excellently, and also Has a very good coordination ability and pays attention to teamwork.

Although Ji Qi says he hates Rooney, in fact, the two have complementary personalities and they are partners who cooperate quite tacitly.
