Chapter 1053 Result!

Soon, their two competing representatives were chosen.

Four mechas were pushed out. To ensure that the compet.i.tion was fair, Li Lanfeng asked the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee to board the mechas and enter a command for some changes and then hide the command. The compet.i.tors would find the command and make changes to the mecha according to the command.

This was the debugging skill of a mecha engineer. Before the mecha operators boarded their mechas, the mecha engineers must debug the mecha so that the mecha was in optimal condition. Any mistakes in the system must be found and be deleted.

Debugging was a common work done by the mecha engineers. The best way to a.s.sess how good a mecha logistician was was to see how fast one could change the weapons and equipment of the mechas during a battle.

Thus, finding the hidden command was just an appetizer. The main point of this a.s.sessment was to see how fast they changed the weapons and equipment on the mecha.

This work needed to be done before the ejection of a mecha. The faster the mecha got equipped, the faster the mecha could be ejected. A one-second difference might affect the result of a battle.

Ling Lan had such a high expectation for her logisticians because she knew that a war was not just solely a battle of firearms. Logisticians played an important role too. She even felt that logisticians were more important than firearms.

Li Lanfeng and Yang Mingzhi had changed into their logistician uniforms. They walked to the starting line.

The other two representative went to the starting line too. Zhou Yongnan suddenly volunteered to be the referee.

The senior colonel of the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee looked at Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng. He was waiting for their opinions.

Both of them expressed that they didn’t mind.

“1, start!”

Zhou Yongnan glanced at the two representative from his side. He didn’t follow the usual call of ‘1,2,3’, he instead directly started the compet.i.tion after saying the number one.

By now, Zhou Yongnan had totally disregarded his own reputation. He used such cheap tricks because he wanted to use all means to win this compet.i.tion.

The two representative from Zhou Yongnan’s side saw the look he gave them. They understood what he was going to do. After Zhou Yongnan shouted the first number, they immediately rushed out.

However, Zhou Yongnan didn’t appear relaxed. Instead, his expression was cold as he realized that his cheap tricks were useless. Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng weren’t prepared but their reaction speed was much faster than a normal person. They rushed out of the starting line almost at the same time as their representatives.

“Did he think that he can win against Leader Yang and Big Leader Li using such cheap tricks? Tsk tsk tsk, he is looking to be humiliated.”

“If they couldn’t even handle such cheap tricks, they should be punished with the month training by our regiment commander.”

“Gasp! Can you not mention the month training? I don’t want to recall that nightmare.” The person beside him inhaled deeply and tried to stop himself from s.h.i.+vering. He rubbed his shoulders, attempting to calm his gooseb.u.mps down.

There wasn’t any month training for almost half a year. Most of the mecha operators had forgotten about this nightmare. When they heard their comrade referring to it, they felt uncomfortable all around their bodies.

Zhou Yongnan noticed that none of the mecha operators or logisticians seemed angered by his action. They appeared nonchalant. His heart dropped.

If they didn’t care about his shameless act, there could be two reasons for that. One, they didn’t care about the two people that were partic.i.p.ating in this compet.i.tion. Second, they knew that such cheap tricks wouldn’t affect the result of the compet.i.tion.

The first reason wasn’t possible. From the enthusiastic welcome Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng received when they entered the mecha hold, they knew that these two team leaders were well-liked by everyone. That meant that it was the second reason. Everyone here, whether the mecha operators or the logisticians, knew that Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng would win.

That meant that what they say at the start was the truth. These two people were the best among all the mecha operators. They made the wrong choice. They picked the toughest opponents.

Zhou Yongnan’s expression turned dark. However, he couldn’t do anything about it now. He could only watch as they get humiliated by their opponents.

At that moment, the four contestants had already started debugging the mechas. They looked like they were equal but Zhou Yongnan knew that they were already behind their opponents.

Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng’s movements were smooth. Their fingers flew over the screen as they entered different commands into the mechas. The mainframe of the mechas gave them its responses. In a blink of an eye, they found the command that was hidden by the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee.

“Easy searches like that couldn’t stop our leaders.”

“This is not even their fastest speed. I remember that time when our regiment commander entered a command into the system and asked the team leaders to find it within ten minutes. All the team leaders were drenched with sweat when they tried to find it. In the last 2 minutes, their hand speed increased to a new level due to the immense pressure on them. I believe that they’ve never moved so fast even when operating their mecha.” One of the people remembered that special a.s.sessment at that time. All the spectators were so anxious for their team leaders, their faces turned pale too.

“Oh, that a.s.sessment… I think I need to go to the washroom.” Every time they recalled the scene, they would feel like going to the toilet. The mecha operators’ face turned white.

They remembered this a.s.sessment clearly because their regiment commander had a punishment for the team leaders who couldn’t pa.s.s the test. The team leader, including his entire team as well as the logisticians that serviced them, would be punished together. How could they not be worried?

However, even though all the ten team leaders tried their best and even achieved a breakthrough in their hand speed, none of them pa.s.sed the a.s.sessment.

“Stop mentioning that a.s.sessment. I don’t want to recall it!” The mecha operators wiped the cold sweat off their forehead and threw this memory away.

After they found the command, Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng followed the command and started equipping the mecha based on its requirements.

The two representative from Zhou Yongnan’s side weren’t slow too. After a month of training, they were very familiar with the works of a mecha engineer. Their speed was even faster than a normal logistician. They had reached the requirements of an outstanding logistician.

But, their opponents were too abnormal.

Just as they found the hidden command and were about to start equipping the mechas, Li Lanfeng and Yang Mingzhi shouted at the same time, “Done!”

The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee hurried over to their screen and looked at the ejection section. All the windows were green. It meant that their work was done properly and the mecha were properly equipped if it entered the ejection port.
