Chapter 25

 Although One-Eyed Eagle is an arms dealer, he claims to be proficient in burning, killing, looting, and is also very handy in cross-border land scraping work. In less than ten minutes, he dug out all the supplies that needed to be taken away according to the must-do list for landing, set up the program, dispatched them one by one, and stuffed them into the mecha. There was no need for four cumbersome "assistants" .

 There was a cold Black Hole Fourth Brother and a murderous one-eyed eagle called Gloria. No one dared to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with these two. The students stood aside blankly with hands folded. The cool ones didn't dare to be cool anymore, and the lively ones didn't dare to be cool anymore. They didn't dare to be lively anymore, and they were crowded together, like four little animals with nowhere to hide in the storm, soaked and shivering. Behind them was the destruction of the country and the family that they didn't dare to think about, and in front of them was the endless interstellar wandering.

 At this time, Mint's personal terminal lit up, and Lu Bixing in the main control room used the communication network at the supply station to call her.

 I usually listen to him talking nonsense in classrooms and auditoriums, so I don't think he is very reliable. However, at this moment, the moment his projection appeared, several students actually had the illusion of being "saved" and surrounded him.

 Lu Bixing asked, "Are you afraid?"

 This question almost brought tears to the eyes of the students.

 Bo Min choked up and asked, "Mr. Lu, why haven't you come here yet?"

 "The smuggling outlaws have their own "underground channels." The people at this supply depot evacuated in advance and took away all the weapons and equipment. It must be If you have accurate information channels, it is much safer to follow them than to wander around the interstellar space. I will try to hack into their communication database." Lu Bixing lowered his head and opened the host program. He could only see a side face in the projection. He was focused on it. Er Yong said, "Don't be afraid. A person's life is an adventure with no return. This is normal and you will get used to it in the future - are you ready for your first mecha operation class?"

 Among the four students , Mint and White each have their own ambitions, and have never planned to learn how to operate mechas. Fighting cocks have left a psychological shadow on mechas, and Huang Jingshu is an empty brain syndrome - according to contemporary brain science theory, empty brain syndrome is a problem in concentrating energy. When synaesthesia is not a human brain device, it has defects that are difficult to cure, which means that she is likely to be unable to connect to the mental network. Even if she can connect, the matching degree will be very low.

 If it were normal, even if they were tied to chairs and forced to listen to lectures, they would probably only be able to get four "desk awakening emperors". There are always some "rotten trees" who are born to be inexperienced.

 "Mechas are weapons created to deal with interstellar wars. In the early years, when wars reached the interstellar level, the warships used often required several battalions of soldiers. On a warship, multiple arms needed to work together, and there were dedicated pilots , surveying and mapping experts, artillery, etc., the efficiency is very low, and the error rate is also high. Once these space forces are mixed with enemy spies and traitors, it will cause immeasurable losses to the entire force on the battleship - so Spiritual Network "It came into being."

 In the rush, the slightly distorted man's voice in the personal terminal was still gentle and calm, with a quiet power. Even the one-eyed eagle who had always been disdainful of his weird dreams raised his head and did not look embarrassed. Open your mouth and interrupt.

 "With the highly intelligent mental network, the functions of an entire battleship are condensed into one mecha. Once a person's consciousness is connected to the mental network, the person becomes the soul of this battleship. After the mental link, your The five senses and six senses will be replaced by the mecha's receiver, and the brain receives a large amount of information. This is why many people are often stunned when they first connect to the spiritual network. "

 White asked: "Principal, how can you adapt. "Spiritual network?"

 Lu Bixing was silent for a moment: "You can call me a teacher from now on. There are no more schools. The principle of adapting to the spiritual network is very simple. It is to be familiar with every part and function of the mecha and fully predict how they will make you feel." "Generally, in class, we use simulators to learn separately, and then add them up one by one. That's why we need a whole school year."

 Douji listened to Lu Bixing's impossible task, and watched the input in front of his eyes. I didn't dare to think about the complicated signals and programs on the mecha of supplies. I didn't dare to think about my friends and mother on the Beijing planet. I felt sad for a moment and was almost overwhelmed by the huge despair: "Mr. Lu...Teacher, I can't listen.  " Yes, I can't learn it. I was dropped out of elementary school in the seventh grade. They said I had an intellectual problem."

 Huang Jingshu said softly, "Teacher, I have cerebrospinal syndrome and am born with low mental energy."

"Teacher, I...I'm not that material..."

 "Shh-" Lu Bixing interrupted him, "Count your breaths, take a deep breath, ten times, don't count incorrectly."

 The sporadic sobs gradually disappeared, Lu Bixing spoke at the same pace, as if the sky was falling, or the students were all idiots, it would not affect him: "Remember this feeling, this is the first lesson you need to learn in mecha operation. Once you find that you can't match the mecha or adapt to the massive amount of information, get rid of all distracting thoughts and senses you don't need, and concentrate on counting your heartbeat or breathing. Often after ten times, you will find that the mental network is oscillating. The frequency is similar to the frequency you count, which represents the first step for the spiritual network to accept you. "

 When a person's tone is too determined, other people who do not have strong willpower will subconsciously obey him.

 The restless students gradually listened. Four rotten wood-like heads, under such extreme circumstances, were actually dug out.

 Lin Jingheng retracted her gaze from looking at the projection: "Report on the maintenance and charging progress of the mecha."

 "The installation of the backup energy system has been completed, and the defense system has been repaired. The mental network is being restarted, and the energy reserve is 85%. It is expected to be completed in ten minutes."

 " Zhan Lu, has the search process been completed?" Lin Jingheng asked, "Where is Bai Yin Jiu?"

 The robot hand fell off his arm, and Zhan Lu fell to the ground and turned into a human form: "Sorry, sir, the location cannot be reached, the signal from Bai Yin Jiu has disappeared."

 The signal disappeared . In two cases, either Baiyin Jiu was attacked, the communication system was damaged, or even the entire army was annihilated; or they encountered an emergency and were forced to temporarily evacuate outside the territory.

 Neither situation is optimistic.

 Lin Jingheng closed his eyes for a moment: "Where are the others?"

 Zhan Lu paused: "The communication systems of the seven major galaxies of the alliance have collapsed."

 The capital planet fell, all dignitaries evacuated, the communication systems of the seven major galaxies collapsed, and the situation of the alliance It was much worse than he imagined.

 So...is Eden still running?

 The Alliance people without the Garden of Eden are like domestic cats whose claws have been worn off and are exiled to the primeval forest. Even basic survival is a problem, let alone resisting the star thieves.

 This is by no means a chaos caused by a momentary mistake of the Alliance Military Commission, but a long-planned war.

 "No wonder you are so anxious to kill me." Lin Jingheng sneered lowly, "These idiots from the Management Committee serve as spearmen for traitors and pirates."

 At this time, Zhan Lu suddenly raised his head, as if he had captured the ominous depths of the night sky. breath.

 Lin Jingheng: "What?"

 "Sir, I have detected strong energy fluctuations. I suggest you evacuate immediately!"

 Zhan Lu is just a mecha core. The main body is not there. There is no anti-missile system. If he can detect energy fluctuations, it means Within five minutes, this wave of energy would engulf the entire supply depot.

 The other party didn't even give them half an hour!

 "Prepare to accelerate the orbit," Lin Jingheng made a decisive decision and turned to the one-eyed eagle, "That's enough, take what you have, get up and get ready to go."

 The one-eyed eagle spit out the smoke from his mouth: "The medical kit hasn't been brought out yet."

 "It's too late," Lin Jingheng said quickly, "Let's go!"

 At this time, the enemy for thousands of years could only cooperate. One-eyed Eagle finally stopped opposing him and simply and rudely interrupted the material delivery process. Then he pushed and shoved the students into the open mecha hatch. Seeing that Mint was still looking around uneasily, the One-eyed Eagle grabbed her by the back of the neck, picked her up like a cat, and threw her directly into the hatch from a few meters away.

 Mint screamed: "The teacher is still in the main control room!"

 "I know." Lin Jingheng and One-eyed Eagle almost said in unison.

 Lin Jingheng turned around and left. The One-eyed Eagle didn't trust him and was about to follow him immediately, but was grabbed by a cold mechanical hand on his shoulder.

 "Mr. Lu," Zhan Lu said, "The third attack has already occurred on an unlocated planet. The aftermath will arrive here within five minutes. You now need to get on the mecha, control the mental network, and prepare to dock with the orbit. Principal Lu A remote-controlled magnetic field is installed on this mecha. It will be possible to catch them after the mecha accelerates. Please believe that the general will lead him to catch up."

 One-eyed Eagle: "Leave my son to him?! I..."

 Zhan Lu. Interrupting him in a low voice: "Your son?"

 One-eyed Eagle's expression suddenly changed.

 "Please rest assured." Zhan Lu said, "The general asked me to tell you that according to ancient sayings, Principal Lu is like a human-shaped tiger talisman. He alone can exchange for all of General Lu Xin's old troops. His value is even higher than Silver Fortress, the general will never let him have any problems even if he dies."

 The artificial intelligence pressed the one-eyed eagle's shoulder motionlessly, its green eyes as clear and innocent as they were a hundred years ago.

 Big shots came and went, and the eight major galaxies were turned upside down again and again. Some people got old, some left, and some died... It seemed that he was the only one who remained unchanged, just like when he was with Lu Xin back then. Ignorant and meticulous.

 ...But he said such cold and heartless words, full of Lin's style.

 The One-Eyed Eagle suddenly shook off his hand, boarded the mecha without saying a word, connected to the mental net, the mecha's power system roared, and slowly slid onto the track.

 In the main control room, Lu Bixing actually heard Lin Jingheng's words through the students' personal terminals, but he couldn't leave at this time. He finally found the information on the underground routes. The personal terminal was pressed against the host computer to download, and the progress bar moved forward like an ox cart. Alas, the progress is just 90%.

 The personal terminal "squeaked", and the first thing the menacing energy wave interfered with was the communication system!

 Mint's voice came intermittently: "Lu...Teacher...hurry up..."

 The progress was 93%.

 "Quiet," Lu Bixing said softly, "little girl, don't scream all the time, it looks like you have no temperament."

 The progress is 95%.

 "It's too dangerous to fly around in the sky and avoid interstellar pirates. The probability of survival is very low. Students, there is no such thing as "acting on the spot" and "surviving from desperate situations" in interstellar wars. We fragile carbon-based life forms, If you want to survive surrounded by hyperspace heavy mechas, you can't rely on probability and luck. I have to get this..."

 The process was 97%, and the personal terminal whose signal was strongly interfered suddenly disconnected.

 Lu Bixing seemed to be unaware, staring closely at the progress bar.

 If he dies at the supply depot and is too late to get this, even if the others manage to escape, they will still be walking a tightrope in the universe and resign themselves to their fate.

 98%...99%...the supply depot has begun to tremble, and the piercing alarm sounds are screaming - the defense system of this small supply depot is of course better than nothing, and even it has started to alarm, which means that the aftermath of the explosion is close at hand.

 At the same time, the track preparing to launch the mecha made a huge roar. The high temperature distorted the density of the air, and the scenery in the distance began to look strange, like a mirage on the desert.

 The completion prompt sounded like the sound of nature. Lu Bixing took a deep breath. Before he could turn around, Lin Jingheng kicked open the door of the main control room.

 Lu Bixing didn't expect that he would come in person and was stunned on the spot.

 "Follow me." Lin Jingheng pulled him over, dragging him out without saying a word. At the same time, he took out a gun with explosive function from nowhere, and shot open the door of the supply station's aerial track, which was originally blocked. A low-earth high-speed rail car is parked on the track.

 Lu Bixing didn't wait for him to speak, and immediately stepped forward to lift his personal terminal up, and pried open the rail car in less than a second. His proficiency was comparable to that of a professional car thief.

 Lin Jingheng accelerated the rail car to the extreme. The two people in the car were slapped hard on the back of the seat. If they were not both very strong, this acceleration would have broken their ribs on the back of the seat.

 At this time, in the supply station, which was dark because there was no artificial light source, fish belly white rose in the distance, as if a sunrise was about to usher in.

 The beauty is always so ominous.

 One-Eyed Eagle's mecha has picked up speed along the track. The docking valve on the bottom docking track has begun to loosen, and the mecha is preparing to take off.

 The one-eyed eagle's whole body was as taut as a string ready to be broken, and the gaze attached to the mental web was about to penetrate the supply station. The next moment, the mecha's speed exceeded the critical value and fell off the track!

 Mint suddenly changed color: "Wait a minute, teacher!"

 The mecha track and the rail car track were exactly vertical, and the rail car rushed over. However, fishing at this speed is the same as asking someone flying on a high-speed rail car to open the window. , picking a specific leaf from a tree along the way.

 The one-eyed eagle couldn't bear it anymore: "Make it for me..."

 Zhan Lu, the core of the mecha attached to the mecha's mental network, quickly interrupted his braking order: "Mr. Lu, you can't do it!"

 At this moment, Lin Jingheng's rail car After passing the intersection of mutually perpendicular tracks, the rail car that was still accelerating crazily was about to pass directly under the mecha. The mecha's remote control magnetic field was suddenly activated, and the powerful control force penetrated along the crude magnetic field made temporarily by Lu Bixing. , directly took over some of the authority of the Spiritual Network.

 Lin Jingheng seemed to have two consciousnesses. On one side, he controlled the mecha to extend its fishing hand exactly, and on the other side, he let the rail car crash into it.

 The protective gas in the fisherman's hand instantly penetrates into the car body. When the protective gas touches the human body, it quickly solidifies into an amber-like substance. The powerful shock absorption function is completed within a short distance when the fisherman inertia throws it forward, but the base of the rail car Sparks arose from the track and exploded with a bang.

 At that moment, the fisherman controlled by the mental net suddenly turned an angle, and the part of the exploded car body missed Lu Bixing in a thrilling way, and hit Lin Jingheng hard on the back.

 However, no one noticed this subtle movement, because the white light was so bright that people could not open their eyes, and the huge noise of the mecha and even the explosions were covered up.

 The fisherman suddenly retracted his mecha.

 Zhan Lu: "Mr. Lu, give up your authority, otherwise you will be injured."

 One-eyed Eagle thought: "Damn it!"

 However, it is a fact that he is not as good as others. One-eyed Eagle is very aware of current affairs. In order to prevent being popped out of the mental net again, Zhan After Lu finished speaking, he took the initiative to retreat. The moment Lin Jingheng touched the mecha body, he took over the mental network, and the two of them had an almost seamless handover.

 The next moment, the mecha directly started the jump program.

 The supply station was flooded with white light. The ominous white light followed the mecha that had just escaped from gravity. Just when it was about to meet, the mecha disappeared out of thin air.

 Passing through the distant and distorted time and space, but the coordinates of the fall were slightly shifted - the solidified protective gas dispersed in the hands of the fishermen. Lin Jingheng staggered for a moment and did not stand up. The wreckage of the rail car that had just taken off fell from behind him. It cut from his waist to his shoulders and penetrated directly through his back.

 The wound that had been blocked by the protective gas was leaking, and blood was oozing out.

 Lu Bixing's heartbeat almost stopped and he caught him: "Lin!"
