Chapter 29

  The Machine Language (1)

  Didn’t know for what reason, from long time ago, started with the established all the basis in all the areas of the human society the Committee of Five, the human had the design for the mecha, all closed to the human body like habit is a second nature, and seldom had the ecological mecha, such as spider, such as snake… perhaps that kind of mecha was too ugly, didn’t accord with the aesthetics standard of the human soldiers, or perhaps because the scientists found out in the end, the more support points, would be bound to sacrifice the subjective initiative and the mobility when human was operating the mecha. All in all, along with the development and progress of the science, the appearance of the mecha was more and more like a human, only those impregnable armors and the power plant, let the mecha reveal the far horrible power than the human body.

  The mecha operation also had its style, this was reflected from the countless details, such as the walk curved line when sliding, such as the necessary height when jumping, such as that glance when the mecha inclined its head to one side… well, with the words of a former treason mechanic from the Second Military Academy, the not formed the mecha operating style pilot, what’s the damn difference from driving a car?

  On the light screen, that blue and black mecha exactly had the strong operating style, that was coquettish. In the just forty five seconds mecha operating drill process, the blue black mecha totally twisted the waist eight times, stamped the feet five times, in the middle mixed twice raised the mechanical arms to aim at the sky… had to say, this operating the mecha the student of the First Military Academy had the strong handling ability, even he added so many lustful little tricks, the whole set of the prescribed drill movements, still didn’t have any error, very perfectly passed through the level III test.

  Shielding satred at the divided into two area display on the light screen, one was the true movement of the blue and black mecha, which was in the mecha fight training room. Another was level III mecha test picture showed by the 2-D image. Those little tricks of the blue and black mecha in his eyes, all became the real mockery and sarcasm. But he was not he people of the Pear Garden university, presumably the professors and the students of the Pear Garden university, also no one could really understand, that coquettish mecha was making a futile effort to demonstrate what kind of emotion.

  He wondered at this time, that “prince” should be in which building in the campus, was watching this mecha performance specifically for him. After the organization learnt that the “prince” was in the Pear Garden university, when on earth they would take the action, what kind of action they would take? No matter they tried to get in touch with the other party, seek the support of the forces behind the other party; or carried out the consistent position of the anti-government army to kill this people, it… shouldn’t be today, today the security work of the Pear Garden university really could be called strict this word.

  Just at this time, a girl student of the Pear Garden university by Shielding’s side was excited to talk to herself, “really beautiful… really worthily the top student of the First Military Academy, this mecha seems like alive.”

  The boy student by this girl student’s side, originally was also so envy to these full of violent aesthetic feeling war machines, but when he heard this words, the expression was somewhat strange. The male animals could praise graciously the man, but they always hated the female by their side to have the praise to other male animal.

  Shielding had some sympathy in his heart, asked with a smile, “stretch oneself also could be called beautiful?”

  The girl student of the Pear Garden university stared at this guy, said, “what nonsense you are saying? That is the operation passed the level III test, that explain the officer inside the mecha still has the energy to spare, extremely relaxed.”

  Shielding shrugged his shoulders, didn’t argue with her for anything. But that boy student gathered to him, asked very seriously, “I always feel, there is something wrong with the attitude of that guy operating the mecha, feel that he is very arrogant, what do you see?”

  “The ancient navy had the semaphores, actually the mecha also has the machine language. After all, if in the fighting, swear the other party like a pirate in the talker, it seems no taste, and also would be easy to be found out by the monitoring instructor… so the maneuvering department of the First Military Academy always has this tradition, the curse tradition with the machine language.” Shielding thought of the campus life in those years, couldn’t help to laugh, “those twist waist and sway hips movements, are all the curse words in the First Military Academy, the last movement of stretching the waist, is even a very dirty words… I heard the tradition of the maneuvering department of the First Military Academy has already entered into the army, the maneuvering soldiers of the army all know this trick. Every time before the fight, they would swear the other party awfully happy.”

  That boy student distracted for a moment, didn’t know whether what this dressed in the crumpled suit man said was true, his eyes turned a couple rounds, before he said anything, Shielding said with the calm face, “a lot of people understand this, I believe that those professors on the stage also know about it. What’s more, this arrogant stupid guy come to our school to perform the mecha, if it’s not coming here to slap on our faces, then what else it is?”

  The boy student suddenly was enlightened, understood it in his heart, he smiled with the profound meaning, patted on Shielding’s shoulder. Then he turned his head around with the serious face, reported what Shielding said to his those intimate classmates. At this moment, Shielding had already left the seat, as to why he would expose the machine language of the blue and black mecha, that would be the thing only himself knew.

  Actually the exchange students of the First Military Academy had already arrived the day before, but these students all had the officer identity, serious in speech and manner, the cold all over the face. In the eyes of the girl students of the Pear Garden university, these were the expression of handsome and mature. But in the eyes of the boy students, that would rather seem somewhat too proud and apathy.

  The boy students of the university town all like the mecha, but no one like the people would be even more proud than himself. Besides, occasionally there were couple smiling guys in those exchange students, but those smiles were all to girl students, obviously didn’t have any kindness. So the boy students of the Pear Garden university, actually all had the anger in the hearts. At this time, when they heard the performing blue and black mecha, was insulting the teachers and students of the Pear Garden university with the they didn’t know machine language…

  In the white shirts floating and full of youth hormones campus, basically nothing could be endured, moreover this kind of prick into the bones insult!

  The angry mood spread out along with this rumor, within a few minutes, the thousands of people on the stand had the boiling signs. Suddenly a boy student scolded loudly something at the blue and black mecha on the huge light screen, just like a spark splashed in the frying-pan, immediately ignited the anger of all the boy students of the Pear Garden university, the countless bad language covered the explain sound from the controlled sound, throughout the whole comprehensive gymnasium.

  “What the students said is true?” the president of the Pear Garden university Nolan, heard the voice came from all around, couldn’t help to frown slightly, asked the said behind him professor Chow.

  Professor Chow came from the army, of course wouldn’t be unfamiliar to this set of machine language which only the army rascals would use, his old face had already sunk down blackly, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, gave a stare at that dressed in army uniform middle-aged man by the side of the president, nodded his head.

  The president Nolan had a breath gently, a flicker of smile came up on his face, but the fingers of the right hand began to knock on the desktop of the rostrum, exposed the true emotion in his heart. The other day he went to the Ministry o
f Education to have a meeting, somewhat stunned to find out, the ministry incredibly had already arranged the First Military Academy to come to the Pear Garden university, to have the visiting. He had already been in the education circle for more than twenty years, of course would guess at the first time what the First Military Academy wanted to do, besides the sneer, he also had to promise it. But he didn’t think of, those having the exaggerated opinion of their abilities student officers of the First Military Academy, incredibly dared to in front of thousands people, played their those petty tricks.

  The sat by his side the dean professor Kent of the maneuvering department of the First Military Academy, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, explained in a low voice, “this is just the misunderstanding.”

  The rank of the First Military Academy was far higher than the Pear Garden university, this exchange activity, the First Military Academy was lead by professor Kent, his rank was exactly the same as the president Nolan. The First Military Academy had the arrangement such like this, already could be regarded as that they took this exchange activity very seriously. Originally he didn’t have any fear to the president Nolan, but once he thought of that the principal exhorted him to be cautious before he came to her, then he began to flow the cold sweat.

  Especially he saw that damn blue and black mecha on the light screen, was still playing those machine language which he thought that no one knew, the mood of the professor Kent became more complicated. Surely, he also didn’t know why the principal would arrange this exchange display activity, he was also the same as those wasted the vacation student officers, all looked down on the Pear Garden university. But at this time the condemning in the comprehensive gymnasium blasted, still gave him the huge pressure.

  The president Nolan suddenly smiled gently and said, “the students of the First Military Academy, all have some arrogance as expected, it looks like that they are not willing to come to visit the Coastal state, we these teachers, better not force the other party, do you agree?”

  This sentence had the firm character behind the gentle appearance, professor Kent frowned slightly, the inherent proud emotion of the First Military Academy began to break out again, he said with the heave voice, “this is just a misunderstanding, after all this is not the fight practice, the mecha operation of student Anta always has some small places not rigorous enough, when he came down, I will educate him well.”

  The president Nolan replied him the silence, ignored him, just listened to those thousands people’s bad language all over the comprehensive gymnasium, had a smile slightly, didn’t care a nut of it.

  The bad language had already pointed from the blue and black mecha to the First Military Academy gradually, vicious to the extreme. On the rostrum, the faces of those came from the First Military Academy professors and outstanding student representatives, also became ugly gradually.

  The been standing behind professor Kent young officer, suddenly left the rostrum, came to the side of those two mechas, turned on the communicator, spoke to the totally-enclosed fight training room, “restrain yourself a bit! The students on the outside all know about the meaning of your those machine language, they have already made a lot of noise.”

  In the operating cabin of the blue and black mecha, that had the curly hair student officer was yawning foolishly. This came from the First Military Academy excellent student named Anta, he was one of the most outstanding students of the maneuvering department, this time sacrificed the holiday, came to perform in this shabby place, originally his mood was extremely annoyed, always felt like that he had already become woman in the dancing club. When he heard the voice in the communicator, couldn’t react to it right away, still cursed to say, “what those stupid guys made the noise for?”
