Volume 6: Mecha Contest Chapter 329: A Slide
However, the beast-shaped mecha did not collapse. After enduring the first round of bombardment, Wolfgang opened the energy shield and escaped from the rain of bullets.
"This kid is lucky...he didn't even get beaten to death..." The Hound muttered softly in the stands.
Like him, many viewers who didn't know much about mechas thought the outcome was decided the moment Valkyrie opened fire ... But in fact, Valkyrie's shooting only knocked off a layer of the beast-shaped mecha's back armor and did not cause much damage to the body itself.
"The internal structure of the beast-shaped mecha is different from that of the human-shaped mecha. Most of the important parts are protected by the skeleton." Chi Hanfeng said, "Just like the organs in the human chest cavity are protected by the ribs."
"If we can't destroy its skeleton, then does that mean we can't defeat it?" Ye Yan asked.
The skeleton of a mecha can be said to be the strongest part of the entire mecha. It is also the only part in the rules of the mecha competition that does not require "diluting" and is allowed to use the original standard parts. Many mechas that are "blown up" have basically intact skeletons when they are recycled. This shows how difficult it is to destroy the skeleton of a mecha in a competition.
"It is not necessary to destroy the skeleton of the beast-shaped mecha... If the current positions of both parties can be swapped, Valentina should win for sure." Chi Hanfeng said.
Just as he said, if the beast mecha is now above Valkyrie, then its abdomen will be completely exposed to Valkyrie's firepower... and this part is the only place that the modified "Steel Sand Type VI" skeleton cannot protect.
Like most beasts in the old era , the soft abdomen is the weak point of this beast-shaped mecha.
Ke Lan once saw a joke on the Internet. It was probably caused by someone asking online: What should you do if you encounter a ferocious indigenous creature in the wilderness? Although everyone knows that this is just a false proposition to satisfy the desire of the public, bored netizens still give various strange and even outrageous answers. The most outstanding one is naturally the strategy given by the strongest king with the ID "Ari*ya" -
"If that creature lunges at me, I can slide under it and cut its belly with a knife, letting its internal organs fall to the ground... Or I can lean back on the spot and hold the sharpened long stick against the ground with its head facing upwards. If it lunges at me, it will be pierced to death by the stick before it even hits the ground."
This meme was once wildly circulated on the Internet, and even extended to various versions, such as "one slide tackle directly gives it away for free", "one slide tackle directly feeds it", "slide to kill the Thunder Beast in seconds", and so on. There are countless...
However, if you want to get rid of this beast-shaped mecha, the most efficient way is really a slide...
However, the beast-shaped mecha itself has a very low center of gravity, and its abdomen is close to the ground. The little space might be enough for a person to squeeze through, but it is impossible to slide under the body of the mecha that is more than six meters tall and then cut it open.
"If this continues, Valentina's first-strike advantage will soon disappear. As long as the opponent waits until the fuel in the thrusters is exhausted, they can drag Valkyrie into close combat. In that case... the situation will be disadvantageous."
"The situation is disadvantageous? How disadvantageous? If... if we really fight that guy in close combat, what are our chances of winning?" In a hurry, Ye Yan did not notice that he had subconsciously put himself in the camp of Ke Lan and his group... Of course, if it were Ke Lan, with 500 million bets placed on that side, he would probably find it difficult to remain calm.
"30-70, 3 for us and 7 for the other side."
"Hiss... This is bad..." Ye Yan glanced at the viewing screen and his face suddenly became worse. "It's over - you see, Miss Valentina is also getting nervous. Her shooting is completely inaccurate. All of her shots hit the road. Not a single one hit the opponent's mecha..."
Ke Lan and the others also turned their attention back to the game. They saw Valentina taking advantage of the last ten seconds of air time to continue pouring fire on the ground. However, it was not known whether it was due to nervousness or the opponent's superb dodging skills, the hundreds of shells in the second round of shooting all hit the road.
"No... No!... No matter how nervous she is, her shooting accuracy can't drop so much... Moreover, for a talented ace pilot like her, the more nervous she is, the more powerful her strength will be... Look at the trajectory of the ballistic missile in the playback footage, she didn't even consider the opponent's mecha as a target!" Chi Hanfeng frowned and analyzed quickly.
"If bombarding the opponent's body doesn't work... switch to bombarding the road... the road... the abdomen... the lower abdomen... the abdomen close to the ground... underground... I know her strategy!" Ke Lan slapped his head and said to everyone, but before he could explain further, Valentina had already used actual actions to tell everyone the reason why she did this -
After the second round of shooting, the fuel for the thrusters was almost exhausted, so she simply turned off all the thrusters. Valkyrie suddenly lost all support in mid-air and fell straight to the ground, right into the big hole that the beast-shaped mecha had drilled earlier!
During this process, she had already replaced the last set of magazines.
Seeing that his opponent's fuel was finally exhausted, Wolfgang quickly approached Valkyrie, but he didn't expect that his opponent would fall into the cave he had just opened. This small accident caused Wolfgang's operation to be temporarily delayed. It was this slight flaw that determined the outcome of this game.
Valkyrie, who fell into the underground pipe, took advantage of the momentum to slide forward, and the beast-shaped mecha was also running in this direction, so the two were instantly on the same vertical line - at this time, Valkyrie raised the weapon in her hand and fired a fierce round of shots directly upwards!
The road surface, which had already been badly damaged in the second round of shooting, collapsed instantly. The beast-shaped mecha on it fell to the ground instantly like a beast that stepped into a pit, and its fragile belly hit the muzzle of Valkyrie's raised gun!
The beast-shaped mecha waved its limbs in vain, but it couldn't avoid the close-range shooting. With a dull explosion, the smoking body slammed heavily in front of Valkyrie and could no longer move at all.
In the second group match, the God Hunters won.
