Silicon Invasion

Currently, there's still an obstacle between Luo Rui and Maikan.

That obstacle is Luo Rui's parents.

Maikan isn't some idyllic paradise; it holds countless unknown dangers. Even the theoretically safest camp cannot guarantee one hundred percent security.

Moreover, this internship isn't a sightseeing trip. The camps responsible for receiving the students will organize them to participate in at least one field mission.

Such dangerous activities naturally come with a certain casualty rate.

If Luo Rui wants to participate, he must voluntarily sign something akin to a 'life and death' waiver. Furthermore, given that Luo Rui is the only son in the family, his parents' consent is also required.

This put Luo Rui in a difficult position. Although Luo's mother, after some hesitation, didn't object to him going to Maikan, she did have a prerequisite.

However, he had long forgotten about that prerequisite.

Now, where was he supposed to find a wife for his parents?

Actually, it wasn't impossible.

Leaving aside Luo Rui's series of halos and honors, his looks alone meant that finding a suitable wife in a short period wouldn't be too difficult.

At the very least, Tong Yue enthusiastically offered to help with this task, pretending to be Luo Rui's girlfriend, and even turning it into a real relationship, which wasn't out of the question.

However, Luo Rui vaguely recalled that finding a wife was just a prerequisite within a prerequisite, and giving his parents a grandson was the real prerequisite.

Putting aside whether Tong Yue was willing, or whether Luo Rui was willing, the activity was set to depart in half a month, so there was no way this could happen in time.

Therefore, if Luo Rui wanted to participate in this activity, he had to think of other solutions.

In reality, there weren't many good solutions. It was nothing more than trying to work on his parents' mindset. Under Tong Yue's somewhat resentful gaze, Luo Rui enlisted Zhang Zhi's help.

Zhang Zhi didn't really want to take on this task. After all, if something really happened to Luo Rui, how would he explain it to his parents? Although Luo Rui's current strength had surpassed most mech pilots, one could never be too careful.

However, Luo Rui insisted, and the school also tacitly approved, so Zhang Zhi had no choice but to risk his own skin.

In fact, Nanling Academy was the most eager to help with this matter. If Beishan Academy allowed them to send someone, they might even ask the vice-principal to persuade Luo Rui's parents...

Unfortunately, there was no way this task could be given to them.

Luo Rui didn't know exactly what Zhang Zhi said, but after his parents confirmed Luo Rui's true intentions, they finally signed the agreement. However, Luo Rui didn't do nothing; as required, he went to the hospital to have some genetic material extracted.

With his parents' financial resources, keeping this was a form of insurance.

"Wei-ge, is this the Hucan Base?" Luo Rui patted Niu Wei, who was in the front seat, and asked quietly.

Niu Wei rolled his eyes impatiently: "How would I know? It's my first time here too!"

For this activity, the Shining Knights Squad sent four people. Besides Luo Rui, there were also Niu Wei, Wang Ming'an, and surprisingly, Tong Yue. They were all juniors and seniors, and Niu Wei would even graduate directly after this trip, receiving his diploma upon return.

As for Zuo Ming'an and Lin Xinxin, they were absent from this activity due to personal reasons. Luo Rui didn't inquire about the specific reasons, as he wasn't someone who liked to care about such things.

Inside the bus, Niu Wei and Wang Ming'an sat in the front, while Luo Rui and Tong Yue sat in the back. Besides them, there were thirty-plus other people in the entire bus.

In a year's time, with the identity of the Shining Knights, although he hadn't participated in the competition, Luo Rui had watched many matches, and almost everyone in the bus was familiar.

Besides their bus, there was another one behind them. Beishan Academy sent a total of seventy-plus people.

It seemed like a lot, but this was the number of people from two grades, which wasn't a large proportion.

And behind them were people from Nanling Academy and other academies, with a total of more than four hundred people, occupying more than ten buses.

The Hucan Base that Luo Rui mentioned was their destination for this trip. The security level was very high, and it was only declassified to them because Luo Rui and the others participated in the activity.

This base was located in the west, nearly two thousand kilometers away from Beishan Academy, and even further from Dongmu County. The military region attached great importance to this activity. In any case, Luo Rui and the others took a military transport plane to gather in a small town outside, waited for a day, and then took a bus together.

When Luo Rui first saw so many people, he was stunned. One had to know that these were all precious mech pilot seeds. Even when going on missions, they wouldn't just be given a rifle; equipping them with a mech was the most basic requirement.

And even if they were sent out on separate missions, it meant that there were a great many mechs inside this Hucan Base.

In fact, juniors and seniors had already begun to come into contact with real mechs, because the school wasn't training them to play games.

Luo Rui lacked training in this area, only cramming it in during the last half month. Although this wasn't his first time sitting in a real mech, it was his first time actually operating one.

He never thought that last year he was just taking a photo with Warrior 7 in the Mech Museum, and this year he would be operating a real mech to go to Maikan. Outsiders couldn't truly understand that kind of excitement.

Although the simulator had undergone countless calibrations and improvements, it was already close enough to reality, but it was still just close. Even if its program algorithm was amazing, it couldn't truly recreate everything in the real world.

However, with Luo Rui's evolved brainpower, some small differences were quickly adapted to by him. Overall, the simulator was truly an amazing invention.

The Hucan Base wasn't on the lakeside, but in a mountain valley surrounded by mountains. Luo Rui didn't know why it was called Hucan Base, and no one solved this mystery for him.

Fortunately, he wasn't someone who liked to dwell on such things. He was quickly attracted by other things.

Although it was a mountain valley, the base was really big. After passing through layers of checkpoints outside and passing through two tunnels, Luo Rui and the others truly entered the base.

The strict defenses along the way went without saying, but from the moment they entered the base, all the weapons were no longer facing outwards, but inwards. Various large-caliber artillery pieces were everywhere on the mountains, and it was said that there were also missile silos hidden in the more distant places.

In the mountain valley, there was a huge metal structure embedded in the mountain. The mechs scattered outside it looked like matchsticks in front of it.

However, there were really a lot of these matchsticks. At a glance, Luo Rui found at least seventy or eighty of them.

"Okay, everyone will be staying here for at least a month. Follow me in a moment to collect your living supplies, and then you will be assigned to your dormitories." The teacher leading the team was about forty years old, very strong, with dark skin, a resolute face, and a ramrod-straight posture.

Although he was a college teacher, he was indistinguishable from the soldiers next to him.
