Immortal Soul of Steel

Hearing Lin Youde's words, the middle-aged mule father responded very excitedly.

"Of course it's okay, Mr. Amuro."

"First of all, the most straightforward difference between the intermediate area and the elementary area is that there are no longer any restrictions on super-series machines and mainframes."

"Any super-type body or large MA can be used here casually."

"Unlike the junior area, which requires careful training of skills, the intermediate area focuses on a wide opening and closing."

"In the primary area, you will encounter at most one or two large MAs in the fleet battle dungeon. In the intermediate area, you may see large aircraft in any dungeon."

"So new intermediate channel players who are promoted from the junior area will not be comfortable with it at first."

"Because the firepower of intermediate channels is simply not comparable to that of primary channels."

"Here, you can see the screen full of beams of light and all kinds of strange weapons flying around."

"These are the most basic. Any mid-level channel player who has experienced one or two games can understand it."

Regarding these remarks made by the middle-aged mule father, Lin Youde nodded slightly to express his understanding.

After all, there are Psychic Gundams and Destruction Gundams everywhere here, even when the middle-aged mule dad was talking. There was even a Gundam GP03·D Dendrobium in the back.

That's right, it was the Gundam GP03 D Dendrobium driven by Hu Luobo, who had fought alongside Lin Youde twice.

It's just that the Gundam GP03·D Dendrobium Orchid I saw this time has a different painting than the large white refrigerator in Lin Youde's impression.

The one that just flew past Lin Youde was black in color and seemed to be driven by an ordinary gamer.

Even the Gundam GP03·D Dendrobium has an intermediate channel, and its firepower is definitely not comparable to that of the primary channel.

If we talk about the primary channel, it is still a robot battle between ordinary MS and MS, which is about 20 years old.

The mid-level channel is a carnival of a bunch of 40-meter robots.

In this regard, Lin Youde saw some clues from the number of large machines in this battlefield.

"It seems that the mid-level channel is not an amusement park for mainframes?"

"In this environment, wouldn't a real-type body of about 20 meters have no living environment?"

Lei Mengmeng, who was in Z Gundam nearby, suddenly started complaining.

The middle-aged mule father also explained after hearing this.

"That's not necessarily the case. Although the mid-level channel is an environment where super-type machines and large machines run around, there are also real-type machines around 20 meters high."

"It's just that compared to the ease of the primary channel, the situation of the intermediate channel will be more severe."

"Ordinary real-type mass-produced machines will have a hard time surviving here, so if you want to use real-type machines here, you need certain skills."

"Players who can upgrade to the intermediate channel basically have certain skills. Relying on this severe environment, it is very fast to hone skills."

"If it doesn't work, you can still go back to the primary channel. The only players who can stay in the intermediate channel are elite pilots."

"And those who can fly real-type aircraft in such an environment are the elites among the elites."

"Those who can still fly real mass-produced aircraft are basically ace pilots."

After hearing this, Lei Mengmeng understood a little: "In other words, play in the mid-level channel, or join the big environment and have a pleasant super-series mass-produced machine VS real-series mainframe machine."

"Either hone your own strength and upgrade from elite level to ace level as soon as possible."

"Is this the purpose of this mid-level channel?"

The middle-aged mule father nodded, then shook his head.

"Mr. Meng, although what you said is right, it's not completely right."

Lei Mengmeng asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Besides these, is there anything else that's different?"

Before the middle-aged mule father could speak, the players watching on the sidelines started explaining in various directions.

"In addition to these, the intermediate channel also has another purpose, which is to help various research institutes and factories in the three major countries experiment with new machines."

"You can often see all kinds of weird and unseen machines on the intermediate channel, those are the ones."

"If you want to play real-series airframes on the mid-level channel, the best way is to drive a new machine that is an era ahead of the super-series mass-produced machines."

"Hey, in the mid-level channel to play real-type aircraft, isn't the best way to fly those real-type special machines that are not inferior to the super type?"

"That's right, although the concept of special aircraft was basically used on non-mass-produced super-series mechas in the past. But after the emergence of Gundam, this concept has changed."

"Ever since Mr. Amuro piloted the Z Gundam, Gundam has also been a special machine. The special machine in the real series, we are currently talking about Gundam!"

The players answered all at once, making Lei Mengmeng thoughtful.

"Everyone, please stop. We can't hear you clearly when you say this."

After taking the initiative to calm down the other players, Lin Youde said to the middle-aged mule father.

"In short, if you want to play the real series in the mid-level channel, you must either have excellent skills, or you can fly a new type of machine and rely on the advantages of its body performance to make up for the gap between the real series and the super series, right?"

The middle-aged mule father responded: "That's roughly true."

"Before the Gundam appeared, there were no special aircraft in the real system."

"So when real-types of the same generation fight against super-types, it basically takes 3 versus 1 to have a chance of winning."

"If you want to use the real system against the super system 1V1, you need to be a big level ahead of your opponent in terms of technology or machine performance."

"But after the emergence of special aircraft like Gundam, the situation has changed slightly."

"Because some parts of the Gundam will be equipped with all kinds of weird systems, these systems will allow the Gundam to explode into astonishing combat effectiveness in a short period of time."

"So even if it's a one-on-one situation with mechas of the same generation, it's not impossible to beat the real type against the super type as long as it has those strange systems of the Gundam type."

"It's just that there are still only a few people who can use these special systems."

"But also because they are in the minority, once they rely on these systems to stand out, they will attract the attention of various forces and get invitations."

"At present, there are many ordinary players in the intermediate channel. Because they can adapt to and use various special systems, they have been absorbed by various forces. It is an open secret."

"Also because this is an open secret, many research institutes will put semi-finished concept test machines on intermediate channels for testing."

"After all, when it comes to extreme stress testing, there's no better place to do it than on the mid-tier channels."

Lin Youde couldn't help but nodded as he looked at the battlefield where a battle had broken out ahead and various large beams of light were flying all over the sky.

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

Lei Mengmeng asked curiously: "Are these the intermediate channels and primary channels?"

"Compared with the novice channel, the junior channel has added modes such as multiplayer PVP, hundred-man fleet battle, and fortress battle."

"Are there any new features for the mid-level channel?"

The middle-aged mule father grinned: "Of course."

"When it comes to the biggest feature of the mid-level channel, of course it is... transformation~!"

Lin Youde asked with some confusion: "Renovation? What is the difference between the transformation of the intermediate channel and the primary channel?"

"Could it be that the number of body modification stages in the intermediate channel is twice as many as that in the primary channel?"

This is not Lin Youde's wild imagination, but it was indeed such a setting when he played the "Super Robot Wars" series in his previous life.

In most versions of "Super Robot Wars", the number of segments that players can modify the body of at the beginning is within 10 segments.

After reaching the middle of the plot, or after going through multiple games, the 15th and 20th transformation will be unlocked.

Lin Youde has never played the several generations of "Super Robot Wars" on the 3DS, but I heard that there seemed to be only a pitiful 5-stage transformation at the beginning, and there would be 10 stages of transformation later.

Thinking of the "Machine War" here, Lin Youde has reason to believe that the intermediate channel will have more body modification stages than the primary channel.

Under Lin Youde's gaze, the middle-aged mule father was a little surprised, but he still shook his head.

"No, no, even in the intermediate channel, the maximum number of modification stages of the body is only 10. There is no need to modify more stages, and doubling it is even more impossible."

"The transformation I'm talking about is not a numerical transformation like the transformation of body segments, but a real transformation similar to that in the real world."

Lin Youde frowned slightly: "Real transformation?"

The middle-aged mule father replied: "Yes, it is a real transformation."

"Take my Perfect Gundam as an example. This body is essentially an upgrade from the original Gundam with the addition of perfect accessories."

"I believe you, Mr. Amuro, who was the first to pilot the Original Gundam and the Perfect Gundam, know this best."

As Lin Youde nodded, the middle-aged mule father continued to explain.

"Essentially, the Original Gundam is a training aircraft similar to the real-life Kyokushin I. Except for the amazing defensive power of the Gundamium alloy, everything else is basically the same."

"Even if it is equipped with perfect accessories, its performance is only at the level of a 1.5-generation machine, which is not comparable to a domestically produced machine like Jishubing II."

"And the reason why I was able to drive this machine to the intermediate channel is not because of my excellent operating skills. It's because of the major modifications I made to this machine."

"Similar to the real-life transformation, I only retained the appearance of the Perfect Gundam."

"The internal power furnace, frame, energy conduction system, and enemy detection radar are all the latest version of the CE world's technology."

"I even equipped the Perfect Gundam with the non-mass-produced Mazinger Z-specific Super Alloy Z."

"It has to be said that as a super series, Super Alloy Z perfectly matches the regular load capacity of Gundam in terms of weight, and can seamlessly replace Gundamium alloy."

"Relying on these modifications, my perfect Gundam can compete with super-series machines and various large machines in the mid-level channel."

"It's a pity that the probability of obtaining the photon power furnace in the game is too low, and it is too expensive to buy it in the mall."

"Otherwise, I would like to replace the nuclear reactor in the C.E world with a photon power reactor to further increase the energy output and further increase the firepower."

After listening to the middle-aged mule father's words, Lin Youde finally understood what the so-called transformation of the intermediate channel meant.

The biggest difference between the primary channel and the intermediate channel is actually not the overflow of firepower caused by the clustering of various mainframes and super-series machines.

The biggest difference between the two is that you can freely modify the body and create the body you want.

Just like playing glue in the real world, the primary channel can only use the assembled finished product, add some matching outfits, or use reinforced parts to replace the weapons next door. It is a small correction.

The intermediate channel is assembled from scratch. You can use any parts you have to modify it to build the body you want.

At this time, Lin Youde sighed sincerely.

"Sure enough, this is a game..."

Listening to Lin Youde's sigh, the middle-aged mule father echoed.

"Yes, this is a game. "Machine War" is a game from beginning to end."

"Although this game has a special origin, some aspects can still affect the real world."

"But at its core, it's still a game."

The middle-aged mule dad only echoed this from the perspective of a player.

But Lei Mengmeng understood that Lin Youde actually considered and lamented from the perspective of scientific researchers and combatants.

Because Lin Youde is both a scientific researcher and a combatant, his view of machine combat will naturally deviate from his original understanding of the game and turn into a special way of looking at it.

Especially after Lin Youde brought Lux out of the game, this influence became even more obvious.

A long time ago, Lin Youde had a private chat with Lei Mengmeng.

Lin Youde's primary channel has obtained so much data on the aircraft, including first- and second-generation aircraft that are actually available in real life, as well as third-generation and fourth-generation aircraft that have not been developed in reality, and the Hi-ν Gundam (Manatee) that is suspected of being a fifth-generation aircraft. Gundam) are all out.

Of course, Lin Youde was given special care by Amuro Lei and others, and he was a special case among special cases.

But Lin Youde believed that as long as time lasts long enough, other people in the primary channel will be able to obtain information on third-generation machines sooner or later.

The entry-level channel can obtain information about third-generation machines, so shouldn’t the intermediate channel have information about fourth- and fifth-generation machines all over the place?

But before, there were no fourth-generation or fifth-generation machines in the real world. There was a very obvious problem.

Lei Mengmeng didn't go into it in depth before because she didn't think it was necessary. After all, in reality, the third-generation phones have not been released yet. It is simply unreasonable to think about why the mid-level channel has not obtained information about the fourth-generation and fifth-generation phones.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in art, and she has her own things to be busy with. It is the responsibility of others to obtain the body information, and there is no need for her to waste time.

She has too many things on her plate to waste time on.

Now, this layer of confusion has finally been solved.

The intermediate channel is fundamentally different from the primary channel. It takes the path of free magic modification of the body.

In the intermediate channel of the Mandi Magic Modified Machine, it is simply impossible to rely on a similar method to the primary channel to unlock new follow-up machines.

Because there is no follow-up body for the body modified by the player.

Without the follow-up body, the data will naturally not exist.

It is impossible for players to obtain aircraft information that is not available in "Machine War".

After understanding the difference between the nature of the intermediate channel and the primary channel, Lin Youde and Lei Mengmeng both had a new question.

‘Since the mid-level channel is following the path of free magic modification, training skills and fighting with firepower. ’

‘Does the high-level channel also have special gameplay or situations that are different from the mid-level channel? ’
