Don't treat Omega as a man [Interstellar]

Karina's fingers quickly pressed on the projection keyboard, and the slender fingers left only an afterimage in Ren's eyes. On the door connected to the work box, rows of blue numbers flashed rapidly.Elvis helped her keep a close eye on those numbers, looking for clues that could be used to break through.

"...The analog value of the siren is on the lower three lines." Elvis reminded in a low voice, "When the siren is turned off, the stress defense system will take effect immediately."

"Interval time." Karina asked briefly.

"In less than half a second, you have to build an analog bridge."

"It can't be done that fast," Karina clicked her tongue heavily, "Xiu hid the key data in the stack, and I can't find the location for now. This guy's defense software is still the same, and it's done in a watertight way."

Rayleigh interjected, "Hurry up, the mechanical system will start to work in a while!"

"I know, why don't you keep your voice down!" Karina growled violently.

William stood quietly on the side, operating another toolbox to shrink and project all the scanned images of the gate, and began to study.

The only ones who have nothing to do here are Miria, who is sitting on the ground doing nothing, and Ren, who is dumbfounded.Software has always been Ren's weakness, and he felt overwhelmed when he saw those simulated variables and editing interfaces.

Karina seemed to be competing with Xiu's electronic defense network, and she put all her energy into cracking the software, and her menacing vigor made Ren a little scared.After thinking about it, he sat down beside Milia, making up his mind not to cause trouble for Karina at this time.

Milia introduced to him in a low voice, "They are soldiers in software and hardware in the army, Karina is specialized in the development of shielding nets, Rayleigh is a doctor in control, Elvis and William are mechanical engineers .”

Ren looked at the group of people who were having a lot of trouble just now, and couldn't imagine that they would be so powerful.

"And..." Miria pulled her epaulettes with some pride. The epaulettes of these people's military uniforms all had the same pattern printed on them.

"We are all Omega."

Ren nodded.William who was not far from them raised his head and smiled very softly when he heard Miria's words.There seemed to be a lot of meaning in this smile, which was so dazzling that Ren could not speak.

In the end, he could only choke out one sentence, "This is Unit Zero."

"It's called number zero because it's numbered before number one," Miria added, "don't get it wrong."

"I didn't." Ren laughed.

Miria curled her legs up, wrapped her arms around her knees, and hugged herself tightly.She rested her head on her lap, tilted her head and looked at Karena who was still fighting the electronic defense network, and said, "This is our 'fortress'."

Ren felt that the word fortress was appropriate.There are few people on this planet, and Ansel built this base on a plain, which is a bit of a retreat from the world.

Miria looked into his eyes, "Do you know why it's called that?"

"...Because it's big and strong?" Ren guessed.

"It can also be understood in this way." Miria smiled, but seemed to disagree with Ren's answer.

At this time, Rayleigh, who had nothing to do for the time being, came to them and said to Ren, "Because this is our only shelter."

Ren raised his head and looked at Rayleigh in confusion.Rayleigh was not tall and not very strong, but for some reason, when he stood in front of Ren, his figure seemed particularly tall.

Riley smiled at Ren, and his tone was much lighter than that of Miria, "It's a bit too heavy to tell you now, let's talk about this topic later."

This is obviously meant to avoid the topic.Although Ren also had questions he wanted to ask, but in view of the fact that it might bring discomfort to those who helped him, he could only hold back and say nothing, but he didn't know how to smoothly walk down the steps, and for a while, his face was written Full of tangles.

Rayleigh looked at him for a long time, then suddenly heaved a long sigh and squatted down, and said with a helpless smile, "If you have any questions, just ask them, I'm the most helpless with cute newcomers."

"You..." Ren looked around and asked in a voice that only a few of them could hear, "Do you all live here?"

"You want to ask if we have nowhere to go but here, right?" Rayleigh laughed and patted Ren on the shoulder, "The question you asked is too oblique."

Ren lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry."

"It's all right," Rayleigh said. "Before you came, it was more than half a year ago that the last time we accepted people here. The few of us came here earlier, and we're used to it."

Ryan looked at him.

Rayleigh smiled, "Yes, we have nowhere to go but here. This is our fortress and our home."

He saw the confusion in Ren's eyes, and said with a smile, "It's hard to understand, right? You're still young, and it's normal to not understand some things."

"Do you have family?" he asked Rain.

Ryan nodded, "There is grandma, and a neighbor who takes good care of me."

Rayleigh and Milia looked at each other, and the former sighed again, and said, "I know why Xiu is hesitant about this year's conscription."

Before Ryan could ask anything, there was an excited shout from the other side, and Karina jumped up and shouted to Rayleigh, "I found the base point data, come quickly, the simulated bridge will take effect in one minute!"

The attention of the few people who were chatting was immediately attracted.Rayleigh rushed over and began to operate the toolbox with William, while Ren followed Miria and got up to watch the fun.

This is a technical field that Renn has never been exposed to before. He always thought that it was enough for him to learn mecha well. He never thought that there were so many skills in the army.

A simulated bridge is a virtual bridge built using simulated data to connect two systems.System switching takes time, no matter how short the interval is, as long as it exists, there must be a small enough breakthrough for others to break in.It's just that the main point is the technical means. In Karina's words, there are very few people in this galaxy who can break through Xiu's defense network. If there is, it must be someone from the Omega army.

The mission that Xiu assigned Karina and the others back then was to be able to break through his firewall one day.Only soldiers who have achieved it are eligible to go to the battlefield.

What Rayleigh has to do now is to build a physical channel for the analog bridge before the system switch comes.

Ren couldn't understand their skills at all. He could only guess the progress by looking at the expressions of those people.Soon William showed joy, and Ren knew that this might be a success.

But Rayleigh still stared at the data flow on the background monitor with a serious expression.He understands the habit of cultivating the system, and it is impossible for them to succeed like this.

Ren looked at the group of people with different expressions in front of him, and knew that they were not just helping him enter the maintenance room.These people were looking for something on the basis of helping him. The small difficulties Ren encountered were just an opportunity, an excuse for them to try to open the door behind the backs of the officers.

Perhaps for them, what they are trying to break through is no longer an ordinary door, but something deeper, something they know each other well, but Ren doesn't know it.

These few people had a tacit understanding that Rennes had never seen before. Although they would bicker and fight, the handover technique was unambiguous.Ren just looked at it for a while, and even a faint admiration came from the bottom of his heart.He also wants to be someone who can work perfectly with his comrades.

"You are amazing." He sighed sincerely, "Thank you."

Several people turned to look at him with complicated expressions.

"Don't envy us," Karina said, "we need to change too."

"But you are already very powerful, I..." Ryan was eager to express his true feelings, and suddenly heard a short short alarm, and at the same time Elvis quickly pressed the power cut button.Accompanied by a slight "click", the red letter floating in mid-air turned into a green "passage allowed".

"Success!" Miria exclaimed.

Rayleigh let out a "hey", jumped up and bumped Karina's shoulder.William looked at Elvis with joy, who gave him a slight nod.

"We have been preparing for half a year," Karina said to Rennes with a smile, "and finally succeeded."

"Congratulations!" Ryan said to her sincerely.

It doesn't matter whether they can enter the maintenance room at this time, Rennes is also happy for their success.Most importantly, he saw a higher level of technology that was different from ordinary mechs.

"Is this the content of your usual combat training?" Ren asked.He didn't know if this question was out of scope.

But Elvis replied, "That's the basics."

In the face of an extremely complex software network and hardware system, it is their homework to create a more complex cracking method than it.There are very few people who can really do it.

"We are really good," Karina said without blushing, looking at the door that popped open, "but Xiu is a genius."

"What about Lieutenant General Ansel?" Ren asked.

Karina smiled and grabbed his shoulders, saying, "Ansel is our light."

This is the second time Ren heard such comments on Ansel, and he was about to ask, but was pushed behind his back.He looked back and saw Rayleigh smiling at him and saying, "Good luck, boy."

Their mission was over, and they packed up their tools before returning to their posts.Before leaving, Miria said to Ryan, "Go to my place to play when you have time!"

Ren nodded in agreement, and stood in place to watch them leave.Soon, the corridor became quiet again. Ren took a step and found that even his walking echoed.

He knew that it must be inappropriate to go in without authorization, but now he has no other choice but to go in and study for himself.

The maintenance room is divided into two parts. The first door is a warehouse-like shelf, which is full of parts that Ren does not know. Going further inside, there is another door. This door is not locked, and Ren can easily push it open. up.

Inside is a field that is half the size of the test field, and the field is surrounded by hand-operated platforms. Ren has never seen this kind of maintenance machine, so he doesn't know what it is for.There are steps at the edge of the venue. Going up, there is a suspended platform that can accommodate about ten people. There is a huge mechanical arm hanging beside it. This is something Ren is familiar with. This is the arm of a humanoid mech.

He quickly climbed onto the platform and observed the mechanical arm closely.There are spatter scratches where the arm is broken, and the fracture is very uneven, which is the scar caused by the explosion.Moreover, Renn took a closer look and found that this was different from the explosion marks he made in the recruit camp. This explosion was larger in scale and extremely powerful. This arm was brushed by the shell and was " Shocked.

This is the remnant of the mech retrieved from the frontline battlefield, and Ren can smell the smoke from it.This mecha has just been scrapped.

While he was seriously studying the mechanical arm, he didn't notice that the door below was opened at some point, and a dozen people in overalls came in from outside the door, walking to their respective positions as if they were getting ready to work.

Ren leaned out quickly, wanting to say hello to the people below, "Sorry, I'm..."

A taller man suddenly said loudly, "Prepare quickly, everyone will be in place in 2 minutes!"

"Yes!" The group of people answered loudly.

Ren ran down the ladder in some panic, came to the man, and apologized to him, "I'm sorry, I came in without authorization, Lieutenant General Ansel..."

The man glanced at him lightly, turned around and walked away.

Ren was taken aback, and when he wanted to catch up again, he heard the man say in a cold tone, "Go away."

Ren immediately froze in place.The other workers were already in place, and no one glanced at him, as if Ryan was a superfluous transparent person.

Soon, Ren heard the sound of sirens.

This time the alarm echoed throughout the base.There seemed to be a strong roar outside, shaking the ground under his feet.Everyone except Ren was motionless, and the leader said in a calm voice, "There are still 300 meters left, are the spare parts ready?"

"Ready!" A person in the distance replied.

"This time it's only 15 minutes, and it's all about lifting my spirits. Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!"

"Yes!"

The maintenance room rose slowly against the outer wall. Amid the increasing roar and the dazzling sunlight, something huge was approaching here.

It's a broken armor.

Seeing everyone around them ready to go, Ren knew what they were doing.This is emergency maintenance training, simulating quick maintenance tasks on the battlefield.

If this is the case, then Ren, a newcomer here, is indeed a bit of an eyesore.
