Chapter 21

　"Sir." Zhan Lu's voice broke into the mecha's mental network, like a pebble, causing tiny ripples.

　Lin Jingheng briefly recovered the consciousness scattered in the darkness: "How much has been recovered?"

　"5%."

　"Can you contact Baiyinjiu for me?"

　Zhan Lu paused: "Sorry, sir, I don't have enough energy to be within the interstellar range. Search and locate the opponent. Do you want to experience my "extreme function"? "

　The extreme state refers to the state where most of the mecha's functions are forced to shut down when the battery is below a certain value - Zhan Lu is in a special situation now. If his machine The body is here, and usually the power will not be cut off easily. Because once a hyperspace heavy mecha loses energy, it usually means the machine will be destroyed and people will die on the interstellar battlefield.

　The ultimate function of a mecha is usually the only function left when both the man and the mecha have only one breath left. Advanced mechas have many mecha core personalized designs, and the function settings of the mecha's extreme functions usually express the mecha owner's view of death.

　Lin Jingheng hadn't studied what Zhan Lu's ultimate function was, so he asked: "Start, what is your ultimate function?"

　Zhan Lu replied: "Let's chat with you."

　Lin Jingheng: "..."

　What a stupid function! That's the bad thing about using second-hand mobile armor.

　Zhan Lu's previous owner was a man with a romantic nature. The ultimate function he set for Zhan Lu, the legendary mecha, was chatting, probably because he wanted to chat for another five dollars when he was about to die.

　"If I change my profession to be a designer one day, I will definitely produce mechas whose core artificial intelligence is mute." Lin Jingheng asked, "Can the customized extreme functions be changed?"

　"Yes," Zhan Lu's voice said in the vast machine. A's mental network shook slightly, "You have all my authority."

　"Then change it to..." Lin Jingheng paused, suddenly running out of words.

　If death is imminent, what does he want?

　This question is too simple. Lin Jingheng has lived to this age and dare not say that he knows other people. At least he knows himself. He can answer without thinking. When death is imminent, of course he wants to kill one more and earn another. If possible, he hopes that he will own a mecha The ultimate function is suicide bombing.

　But...this second-hand mobile phone was left to him by that person.

　He remembered that it rained heavily that night at Wulan College, so it must have been a Tuesday.

　Wulan College covers an area of ​​6,500 square kilometers, which is almost the size of a medium-sized city. Half of it is the school building, and the other half is a forest planned when the school was founded. For more than two hundred years and not even a generation has passed, the trees have grown to towering heights. , in order to maintain the environmental humidity and water circulation, every Tuesday from noon to midnight is the self-study time of Wulan College, and the school will make arrangements for rain.

　At that time, Lu Xin was under house arrest for investigation, and Mecha Zhanlu was locked up in Wulan Academy.

　On that evening thirty-three years ago, Lin Jingheng received news that the Trinity Alliance Council issued a secret arrest warrant for Lu Xin.

　He stole Zhan Lu's mecha core, used the space field in the laboratory to forcefully break through the access control, and wanted to get to Lu Xin.

　The civilian manned space field itself is only used in emergencies, which will bring a huge burden to the human body - not to mention that what he took was a semi-finished product without protective measures. The positioning of the three consecutive jumps was inaccurate, so he used the semi-finished product. He jumped four times in the space field. When he fell near the Lu family, his spine was severely injured and he had no feeling below the waist. He climbed over step by step with the rainwater from Wulan College.

　At that time, he was about the same age as the kids next to him who paid people to write examinations. He was young and frivolous, with an empty mind filled with many crazy ideas and a lot of water.

　Lu Xin was frightened by his sudden accident. He quickly called the emergency room and cursed: "How did the flower water from Wulan College get into your brain?"

　Lin Jingheng struggled to pass Zhan Lu's mecha core. He said to him: "We don't have time. Zhan Lu is here. You can pick up any mecha and leave first!"

　After hearing this, Lu Xin replied angrily: "Go away quickly."

　Then he He was forced into the capsule-like first aid cabin.

　Nutrients and potions with anesthetic and analgesic effects seeped into his body, and all the severe pain began to numb. Lin Jingheng soon began to lose feeling of his own body. Through the transparent emergency hatch cover, he discovered that in such a late night, Lu Xin was actually dressed neatly and even changed into a very grand military uniform.

　He had a vague foreboding feeling in his heart, but he couldn't move at all.

　A tall and thin shadow came out from behind him. He was General Lu's adjutant.

　"Go pick up the car," Lu Xin told the adjutant, "take advantage of the chaos and secretly send this kid back to Wulan College and find Dr. Lance at the school hospital. He owed me a favor before and knows how to deal with it. "

　The adjutant saluted and pushed up the small emergency cabin: "I will always be loyal to you."

　"That is the greatest honor in my life." Lu Xin bowed his head in return, then raised his hand and patted the emergency cabin a few times. He said to the young man who was about to lose consciousness, "There are many things in my heart that I can't understand - too many, so much that I can't support this stall. I leave Zhanlu to you, and I leave you to the alliance. From now on ..."

　The words became more and more distant and blurry, like an illusion. Lin Jingheng always felt that he heard Lu Xin sigh that day, and then a vague sentence...

　"When will you grow up? Huh?"

　When he woke up again, Lin Jingheng had been secretly sent back to Wulan College. He was locked in a closed emergency cabin. The school doctor Dr. Lance told the public that he had made a mistake in his experiment and needed to be hospitalized for isolation due to infection. He was like The vampire who was covered in a coffin and buried alive frantically banged against the emergency hatch door and dug at the cracks of the hatch, until every finger was bleeding. He recovered under the influence of the potion in the emergency hatch and was imprisoned for three days. sky.

　Three days later, the sky outside had changed.

　It is said that Lu Xin escaped in an illegal mecha that night and was chased outside the Heart of Rose by the Alliance Guards. Three heavy missiles hit the fuselage at the same time, including the man and the mecha, and shattered into a handful of dust in the vast universe.

　The adjutant who sent him to Wulan Academy retained his loyalty and committed suicide, leaving a thick blood mark in the Eden system that is said to have eliminated human suicide.

　The Alliance tried every possible means to get rid of Lu Xin, a serious thorn in his side, and the "big thorn in his side" left Zhan Lu to the Alliance, but finally failed to use the function of "talking a few words before death".

　I guess it must be a very lonely death.

　Zhan Lu waited for a long time, but didn't hear what he said next, so he automatically analyzed the database and asked as he liked: "Sir, do you need to change my ultimate function to self-destruction preparation?"

　"No." Lin Jingheng said, "You Just be quiet."

　If such a day comes, he probably won't be willing to blow up Zhan Lu.

　"I can still sing."

　"No singing, shut up."

　Zhan Lu remained silent for five minutes obediently. At this time, a new message popped up from the medical system on the mecha.

　Zhan Lu: "Sir, it was detected that Principal Lu had a skull fracture, a severe concussion, and myocardial damage. It is speculated that he was hit by a homologous chip when using an illegal chip."

　"It can't be done in less than a day. " He is really talented for doing so many things." Lin Jingheng looked at Lu Bixing in the medical room through the mecha's mental network, "There are no such dedicated experiments in the poison nest."

　For some reason, Lu Bixing seems to be more durable than ordinary people. It seemed like it was hurting, but his face looked pretty good, even a bit playful.

　As a non-medical staff, Lin Jingheng didn't see any reason: "Is he serious?"

　"Level 3 injury, medium severity," Zhan Lu answered accurately, "It will take about an hour to repair the injury."

　Although this mecha is only It's a small mecha, but the equipment is pretty good and the medical conditions are good. Generally speaking, as long as the brain is not bleeding all over the place, the problem is not serious.

　"But I noticed that Principal Lu seems to have some kind of special protective device implanted in his brain," Zhan Lu said. "This protective device is very hidden. If he hadn't been attacked by a homologous chip, the protective device would have been forced to withstand the attack." For some injuries, I may not be able to detect their existence until now. You see, the medical equipment on the mecha treats it as a skull injury. I need to correct this error."

　Lin Jingheng narrowed his eyes slightly - in his brain. Implanting a special protective device sounds like it is against the Garden of Eden. This is normal, because the One-eyed Eagle is a persecution delusional person and is full of hostility to the Alliance. Since his son is a creature with legs, there is no guarantee that he will reach the age of seven one day. In a large galaxy, it makes sense that he wants to nip things in the bud.

　But...he once asked Zhan Lu to scan Lu Bixing's whole body three times.

　Zhan Lu was not swept out three times? When did the old Persian cat have such technology?

　Through the mental network, Lin Jingheng saw that one of Lu Bixing's legs was unnaturally skewed. It should be that the shattered kneecap was being repaired.

　The one-eyed eagle stood beside him with a gloomy expression. Lu Bixing broke out in a cold sweat and actually laughed: "Scientific research requires a certain amount of dedication. You see, although the Nobel was killed in the bombing, it will be remembered forever. Watto is still awarding this award. I will give you two trophies to play with someday."

　"Go away and play with a ball." One-eyed Eagle scolded him, "I will turn on the automatic general anesthesia system for you."

　"No need . "Moderate pain helps to think," Lu Bixing said nonchalantly, "Where are you now? It's far worse than when I was a child."

　Lin Jingheng, who was immoral and listening to the wall, was stunned, thinking: "When I was a child?"

　One-eyed eagle There is no silver three hundred taels here, and there is an invisible brain protection device...

　Lin Jingheng tightened her fingers and said in a suppressed voice: "Zhan Lu, since the protection device is damaged, can you go over it now and do a partial cut on his brain?" "Gene test?"

　"I can try."

　Lin Jingheng stood up suddenly and walked around in circles as if he couldn't sit still.

　At this time, the mecha traveling along the automatic route suddenly sounded an alarm. Lin Jingheng, who was already a little uneasy, jumped at the corner of his eyes. A large range of energy fluctuations were detected outside the mecha's mental network, as if the waves were shaken by a deep-sea tsunami. One wave after another.

　"Stop automatic navigation," Lin Jingheng said softly, "Report the status of the mecha." "

　The defense system is seriously damaged and cannot be turned on. The weapon system is normal and the backup energy system cannot be detected. The remaining power of the energy core is 50%-"

　"Alarm, Alarm, we are approaching the heavy weapons scanning range!"

　"What are you doing?" One-eyed Eagle emerged from the medical room, and then he frowned, "There are large-scale armed forces nearby? Whose people?"

　Lin Jingheng: "Turn on Disguise."

　The small mecha floating among the stars has turned into an unremarkable merchant ship in appearance, because half of its fuselage was thrown off when it left the space station, so it looked fake.

　However, Lin Jingheng's frown did not open, and then ordered: "Prepare to jump."

　One-eyed Eagle: "Don't be nervous, it is the rule of the eighth galaxy not to touch small merchant ships under a thousand tons."

　Lin Jingheng ignored him, and the jump process was rapid . Enter the countdown.

　The one-eyed eagle said dissatisfied: "You..."

　At this moment, the entire mecha shook violently, and the nursing cabin and the medical room activated automatic protection at the same time. The one-eyed eagle could barely stand still, and caught a glimpse of a burning eye in the dark universe. The light was so bright that a corner of the fuselage was caught on fire!

　The other party actually attacked them without any explanation.

　The One-Eyed Eagle was slapped in the face again, and his cheeks were almost swollen. Before he could curse, the mecha forced its way into the jump valve amidst the buzzing sirens.
