291 The Essence of Mecha (3)
In the middle of the screen was a red and black mecha.
There was a relatively large gap between the modules of this mecha, and its body proportions were a little out of sync, making it look a little clumsy.
However, when the entire class saw the mecha, a proud expression appeared on their faces.
This was the first mecha developed by humans, named Origin No. 1.
Although this mecha had many incomplete functions and its performance was very outdated, its manufacturing and design concepts laid the foundation for the future development of mechs.
All the mechas in the future were developed based on Origin No. 1.
Therefore, Origin No. 1 could be said to be the beginning of mankind’s mecha civilization. It was also one of the symbols of the contribution of the origin planet to the development of mankind.
Ye Hongmian had obviously made ample preparations. She had come to the origin planet for lessons and had deliberately displayed this mecha.
It was to gain the students’ favor and resonance and to mobilize the students’ emotions.
She said, “Everyone should recognize this mecha. I don’t need to elaborate on its great significance. It is a shining medal in the glorious history of the origin planet. I hope that everyone can study hard and obtain a place to further their studies. After you have achieved some success in your studies on Taining Planet, you will make your own contribution to the revival of the origin planet. ”
Ye Hongmian didn’t waste any more time after she finished talking. Instead, she went straight to the point and asked a question.
“What do you think mechas are?”
Veronica was the first to stand up and said loudly, “Mechas are mankind’s most powerful weapons of war. It’s precisely because of mechas that we can conquer a star field after another and become the overlord of the interstellar ecosystem. ”
“Very well said.” Ye Hongmian nodded. “Does anyone have a different opinion?”
Gong Weihe stood up and said, “Mechas are tools in nature. The reason why humans are the leaders of all living things is that we know how to use tools.
“Mechas are only the most powerful of all tools. We have to learn and master many techniques to make good use of this tool.”
Another student stood up and said, “I think mechas are the friends of humans. Every time I see mechas at home, I feel at ease and my heart is filled with happiness.
“I like to stay with the mecha and share a lot of things with the mecha.”
This was obviously a noble child, and his words kept boasting that he had a mecha at home.
“Mechas are the crystallization of human wisdom!”
“Mechas are the inevitable result of the development of technological civilization!”
The students expressed their opinions one after another. Ye Hongmian nodded and praised every one of them.
When no one answered, she concluded, “Every single one of you is right. Because of the different environments and personal experiences, everyone has their own understanding of mechas.
“As long as you can achieve a theoretical self-consistent understanding of this knowledge in your hearts and there are no contradictions, then it’s good.
“Now, let me share my views for everyone’s reference.
“From what I know, mechas are the second body of humans.
“In the development of human civilization, mechas are not the most powerful in the beginning.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard of or seen traditional fighters. The goal of traditional fighters is to develop their physical potential. They use all kinds of secret techniques to develop all kinds of magical abilities in the human body.
“For a very long time, the various schools of traditional fighters were the mainstream of the development of human civilization.
“However, human strength is limited at times. As civilization developed, everyone gradually discovered that there is a limit to the potential of the human body.
“The best of the traditional fighters had the ability to destroy mountains at most, and their lifespan was only two to three hundred years.
“Under such circumstances, humans gradually abandoned traditional fighters and chose the path of mechas.
“In other words, mechas are a second body designed and created by humans after they encountered a bottleneck in the development of their own bodies.
“Since the potential of our bodies is limited, we will create a body to replace our bodies and obtain greater power.
“In order to better control the human second body, we invented the meditation technique.
“However, students, you must remember that meditation is only one of the techniques humans use to operate mechas. It is definitely not the only method, nor is it our ultimate goal.
“Since a mecha is a human’s second body, the ultimate goal of a mecha master is to completely get rid of the first body and transfer the mecha master’s soul and consciousness into the second body.
“From there, you can achieve true immortality within the mecha!
“For this ultimate goal, countless sages in the universe have come up with all kinds of methods. Meditation is only one of them.”
As Ye Hongmian explained, the classroom fell silent. Everyone was convinced by Ye Hongmian’s bold viewpoint.
Many students were shocked. So this was the nature of mechas.
Ning Shi was also shocked by Ye Hongmian’s words. Although he did not agree that the potential of the human body was limited, it was just that the traditional fighters of this world had not developed enough.
However, Ning Shi was in awe of Ye Hongmian’s explanation of the nature of mechas.
In just a few sentences, not only did she explain the essence of mecha, but she also explained the future direction of mecha development very clearly.
These words might not seem to have anything to do with a mecha master’s skills training, but they could deeply affect a mecha master’s future development.
It was of great strategic significance.
A mecha master who treated the mecha as a tool and a weapon would behave differently from a mecha master who treated the mecha as his second body.
This was the role of a good teacher.
