Defeat magic with science

On the way back to the base, an accident happened. Halfway through, the mecha that Li Qing was driving suddenly lost its energy and was completely paralyzed, turning into a pile of steel that could not move or work. The mecha carried it back together.This is a bit troublesome, because in addition to the mechs, they also brought back some people, all of whom were civilians from Yanthorn Mountain. These people's homes were destroyed, and it didn't make much sense to stay. Zhou Yan strongly encouraged them to go back to the mine together.

Of course, not everyone is willing to follow them, and some of them don't plan to do anything with them even if they are rescued. They think that the monsters will not come again and want to stay here.But in order to help Luo Futu seize power, they had to recruit as many people as possible. After Zhou Yan persuaded them, they agreed, but Zhou Yan knew that if no one led them, these people would become loose sand and run away secretly.

So someone has to lead.

Li Qing was originally responsible for this matter, but now that one of the mechas has run out of energy, they don't have enough mechas to carry civilians, and it is very difficult to carry Li Qing's mecha back.Li Qing proposed to take the villagers back on foot, but Zhou Yan was worried that there would be danger in the middle, so he did not agree.There is still a long distance from the mine to the Yanthorn Mountain. It is a steep mountain road, and it is impractical to trek on foot. Moreover, I am afraid that Lu Lian will appear again, and it will be dangerous at that time.

They had no choice but to stop for a while, hoping to find a way to achieve both.

"Why is the energy of this mecha suddenly exhausted... The mecha that Gabriel and I are driving can clearly still move, and the three mechas are all activated by a unified current, which shouldn't be the case."

The villagers sat down to rest for a while, but Zhou Yan was not in the mood. He stood in front of the mecha driven by Li Qing and watched for a long time, but he couldn't find the reason, and was very worried.In fact, he was already well prepared that various situations would arise in the finished mech, requiring constant debugging, but he never thought that there would be a situation where the energy would run out.This is the magic of the mecha. As long as the pilot can make it move, it is difficult to be paralyzed halfway. The mecha is alive, and its maneuvering is closely connected with the vitality of the pilot. Li Qing is still sitting in the cockpit Inside, it is impossible for the mech to not be able to move.

Luo Futu heard Zhou Yan talking to himself, and thoughtfully said: "Is it related to Li Qing? Don't forget, he is Yong."

Zhou Yan also said before that Li Qing did not leave any scars on Lu Lian, and it is very likely that he did not display the true power of the mecha.

This is what Zhou Yan is most worried about happening. He is very afraid that what he has made will end up being an empty shell, and what is the meaning of existence of weapons that ordinary people cannot use.

But Zhou Yan can't deceive himself and others. Now that the problem is in front of him, he must find out the reason and solve it.

"Although I don't really want to agree with you, but I have to say, it's very possible."

Gabriel also echoed. Like Luo Futu, as a healer, he was born with a subtle prejudice against ordinary people. They feel that they are the chosen ones, and it is easy to have such thoughts.

Of course, in fact they are very different.

Zhou Yan finally looked at Luo Futu and frowned: "I'm not sure, or you can try it in the driver's seat. If you can drive..."

——Then there is a great chance to prove their guess is correct.

Luo Futu nodded at him, and was about to step onto the mecha, when Gabriel suddenly blocked Luo Futu's way, staring at him sharply: "I'd better come! I have more experience than you!"

Luo Futu maintained that half-smile expression and went straight to the mecha, as if he didn't see Gabriel at all, and stretched out his hand to pull Gabriel away—couldn't he know what this kid was thinking?He tried his best to express himself in front of Zhou Yan, but the method of chasing people was still the way of elementary school students decades ago.

Gabriel was ignored, so angry that he jumped to his feet, he chased after him angrily, his blond hair was shining in the sun: "Hey!"

Although Luo Futu turned a blind eye to him, it didn't mean that he could really ignore him completely. This kid was really annoying. If Zhou Yan wasn't in front of him, he would definitely attack this guy.Luo Futu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking silently, otherwise, let's do it, there is no way to teach him in a fair and honest way, it's okay to find an opportunity to make a black hand, and let him understand that some people and some things cannot be disputed.

Zhou Yan put all his attention on the mecha, he couldn't sense any undercurrent between the two, and followed him: "I'll go with you."

Gabriel was already very angry when he was pulled away by Luo Futu, but now that Zhou Yan followed, he naturally refused to show weakness and immediately stuck to him.But halfway through, he was suddenly grabbed by Li Qing's arm and dragged back. Li Qing frowned and stared at Gabriel: "Marshal, you better not go, it's enough for the two of them to go."

"Let go of me!"

However, Li Qing did not listen to Gabriel's order for the first time. He silently glanced at Gabriel, held Gabriel's arm tightly, and said in a low voice, "No, I want to protect you. To be honest, I'm driving that It doesn’t feel good when you get a mecha, and you will be in danger if you rush over.”

Although Li Qing is an ordinary person, Gabriel is young after all, and he does some physical work all year round, so he doesn't let go of Gabriel's hand, and the latter can't break free even if he wants to. Luo Futu and Zhou Yan entered the mecha room and locked the door tightly.Seeing that he was one step late, Gabriel jumped into a rage and punched Li Qing hard in the face.

"Go away! Dog, you are against me too?!"

Li Qing has never been beaten like this by Gabriel. He is an old man in a mining factory, and he is loyal. He takes care of Gabriel's daily life, so Gabriel treats him very kindly. Today, he was suddenly beaten. Not only Li Qing, but even Gabriel himself was taken aback.But Li Qing just lowered his head silently, as if he didn't have any complaints.

Gabriel stared at him in silence for a long time, then suddenly turned his face away with a cold snort: "You're asking for trouble!"

Li Qing followed Gabriel's line of sight and saw that he was staring at the mech, so he couldn't help asking softly, "Marshal, do you really like Zhou Gong?"

Gabriel raised his eyebrows recklessly: "Since when did you like meddling in other people's business so much? Just do what is entrusted to you to do well. Don't ask if it's not your business."

"Yes, the subordinate overstepped."

Li Qing obediently responded, a trace of depression-like emotion flashed across his lowered eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

But this was just a small episode, and it passed quickly. Li Qing was Gabriel's subordinate, so naturally he wouldn't quarrel with him. Put it on the mech.Gabriel has piloted mechas. In fact, as Li Qing said, it feels bad when driving these mechas, because to drive a mecha, it is not enough to perform simple mechanical operations. When the mecha moves, It seems to have turned into his own extended body, his arms, his legs... He can control the action of the mecha with his own will.And he seems to have become a battery that provides energy for the mecha, he is consuming himself to drive the mecha to move.

But Gabriel wasn't afraid of this feeling, he even enjoyed it a little bit, and it was precisely because he felt this connection that he realized what a great invention the weapon in front of him was.

That's right, this is the principle of driving a mecha. The reason why a mecha is a living thing is because of this reason.To master the skills and make the mecha act as it pleases, it is necessary to establish a spinal cord neuron connection with it. The driver's neurons are integrated with the mecha, and the mecha becomes a kind of "creature".

A community of destiny that shares weal and woe with drivers.

This is why Zhou Yan couldn't understand why the mecha suddenly lost energy when Li Qing was driving the mecha. Li Qing was fine, so how could the mecha lose energy?

Of course, this kind of connection has certain risks for the driver, but under normal circumstances, it will not endanger the driver's life. If the driver is just a "battery" that simply outputs energy for the mecha, then the mecha will also be damaged. It's too exhausting for the driver, and it won't take long for the driver to go up and be drained.

The mecha is a weapon that transcends technology. The activation principle is related to electric current and electromagnetic activation, as well as the connection of the driver's neurons. Therefore, it is very remarkable that the mecha can be successfully produced under the conditions of the Yujin Continent. Easy.The technological means on Miyun Star have already solved all the bugs, otherwise Zhou Yan would not be able to create such harmful things to deal with Lu Lian.

"I've explained the principle to you clearly. If you want to drive it, you have to trust it completely...I think Li Qing may not have established a real neuron connection with this mecha, so he ran out of energy just halfway through the journey. .”

Zhou Yan bit her finger and thought for a moment, then looked at Luo Futu: "But this should be quite difficult for you."

Knowing Luo Futu for so long, Zhou Yan has already had a preliminary understanding of his precautions. Such a person cannot have complete trust in the delivery of the mecha, that is to say, the neuron connection between him and the mecha Maybe it will fail.

Luo Futu looked at him and smiled, and stepped on the driver's seat: "Why do you make such a judgment, such a simple thing, I can naturally accept it."

"……Is it."

——Actually, he wanted to say that he has an ugly face now, and it would be very scary to show this kind of smile again, it's better not to smile.

And the more Luo Futu said this, the more Zhou Yan didn't believe it. Luo Futu's distrust of this world has become an instinct, and the ghost believes that he will succeed all at once.If it wasn't because he had already established a neuron connection with another mecha, and he couldn't change the mecha in a short time, he wouldn't let Luo Futu go.Zhou Yan heard what Gabriel said about driving the mecha instead of Luo Futu, but he couldn't agree that changing the mecha in such a short period of time would also be a kind of harm to the driver's body.

Therefore, Luo Futu was the only one among those present who could restart the mecha.

After Luo Futu stepped on the seat with both feet, a row of synapses automatically extended from the back of the chair, with blue-green electric lights flashing on them, and they slowly approached his spine.These synapses get stuck on the driver's spine, establishing neuronal connections through electromagnetism and light perception.This step is the most important, and it is also what Zhou Yan is most worried about. He stares at Luo Futu closely, fearing that something might go wrong.However, Luo Futu also seemed to feel the danger, subconsciously frowned.Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhou Yan hurriedly said: "Relax! Don't reject it!"

Luo Futu took a deep breath and closed his eyes, those synapses were completely attached to his body, and the thin electric light stretched backward along the duct behind him, until the entire mecha was lit with electric light.

……oh?The connection seems to be established successfully?

Just as Zhou Yan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Futu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly opened his eyes. Zhou Yan saw his pupils turn green, and his amber eyes were completely buried by the terrifying green light. A dazzling light burst out, and Zhou Yan's heart that had just let go rose to his throat.

"Luo Futu!"

But Luo Futu didn't seem to be able to hear Zhou Yan's voice at all. He stared at the front with his eyes wide open, without any response. The horrifying eyes and this horrifying face made him look like a demon descending into the world.

Damn, it's a rejection reaction!

Zhou Yan originally thought that Luo Futu was a spiritual master with high mana, and there should be no problem in controlling the mecha, but he underestimated his psychological defense. Accept, let alone establish a connection.Luo Futu suddenly raised his hand forward, and the mecha also raised his upper limbs abruptly. He looked at the front with horror in his eyes, and Zhou Yan followed his line of sight. The child was chasing and playing, and seemed to see that the mecha could move, so he stood under it and pointed at him.

Didn't know that the pilot of this mech wanted to attack them.

Luo Futu was full of aggressiveness at this time, more precisely, he should be full of killing intent, and his mind was completely deaf to outside voices due to rejection.

...Damn it, he didn't understand what the neuron connection he was talking about was it? He meant to let this mech invade his mind!Although this mech is completely mechanical, to his thinking, the foreign neuron is a complete third party, and rashly intruding will certainly make him uncomfortable!

"Luo Futu! Luo Futu! Wake up!"

Zhou Yan grabbed Luo Futu's shoulder and shook him vigorously, but the latter still did not respond. He raised his hand suddenly, and the mecha under him suddenly stood up, and there was a vibration in the mecha cabin, which almost threw Zhou Yan out.Zhou Yan hurriedly grabbed his arm, but the mecha raised its foot high according to Luo Futu's will, and was about to step on the two children.

Gabriel and Li Qing, who were waiting outside, also felt that something was wrong. Although he was new to mechas, he could clearly see this attacking posture, which was not a normal driving action at all!

"Damn, what does he want..."

Li Qing suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "Marshal! Something is wrong! Get out of here!"

Gabriel had already reacted. He quickly climbed onto his mecha, and only then heard Zhou Yan's urgent voice in the wireless headset: "A1! A1! Gabriel! A2 is gone berserk! Save people!"

Gabriel hurriedly sat down on the seat, pulled the joystick, and his mecha immediately flew towards the two children. The huge steel upper limbs grabbed the children on the ground, and then flew towards the sky. At the same time, the mecha operated by Luo Futu stepped on it hard, and the ground collapsed for a while, the earth and rocks surged, and a huge pit was sunk in the place where it was stepped on.The two children rescued by Gabriel were still laughing in the hands of the mecha, but the adults around them understood the danger, and the families of the two children were so frightened that they almost fainted.Gabriel put the two children on the ground, and the family screamed and ran to take them away.

Gabriel's mecha attracted hatred, and the mecha controlled by Luo Futu flew straight towards him, punched him down, Gabriel dodged in embarrassment, and still flew far away.He hastily adjusted his posture, manipulated the mech to kneel on the ground, and shouted angrily over the radio: "What's going on! How can this bastard attack indiscriminately!"

Zhou Yan in the mecha cabin was holding Luo Futu's arm tightly. The latter was completely out of control, with bulging veins on his forehead, as if his blood vessels would burst at any time.Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Retreat! I'll handle it here!"

——It's all his fault for not being cautious enough, he should have considered this situation!He obviously already had a faint worry, why did he rashly let Luo Futu try it himself.

But this guy... is too defensive!

Zhou Yan hugged him tightly, and the whole body was dangling with the mecha cabin. He watched A2 go crazy on the spot, crazily destroying the surrounding forests and rocks. Fortunately, this mecha is not equipped with a maglev gun or the like. Weapons, or it's all over.Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and pulled at the synapse on Luo Futu's back—he had to save him quickly, otherwise not only would the people around him be attacked indiscriminately, but Luo Futu would also be hurt after a long time.

Zhou Yan grabbed one of the synapses violently, pulled it down, and a flash of lightning directly penetrated Zhou Yan's body. At that moment, Zhou Yan's neurons were invaded by the mecha. Zhou Yan His eyes widened suddenly, and his thoughts were pulled into a strange space.At the same time, Zhou Yan only felt that a bunch of pictures were forced into his brain. These pictures appeared in his mind like a revolving lantern, and the speed was very fast. His brain seemed to be on a roller coaster and was rising rapidly. , fell into the abyss again, memories that did not belong to Zhou Yan invaded his brain out of thin air, and his own memory was also pulled by a strong current like a hurricane.

He is like a powerless patient, stripped (harmony) and naked (harmony) to dry in the sun, every corner of memory is occupied and swept away by stronger emotions and memories...

That was Luo Futu's memory.

"what--!!!"

The central processing unit of the mech burst out a strong blue-green electric light, and Zhou Yan felt his brain was about to explode. He grabbed Luo Futu's hand and couldn't help screaming in pain. This pain comes from neurons. The swelling when he was invaded also came from the emotions of those external memories. He was forced to become the protagonist in Luo Futu's memories, and everything seemed to happen to him.

They were forced to exchange memories, and Zhou Yan's neurons were connected to Luo Futu's neurons through this mech, and his nerves were being viciously violated.

"Enough! Enough! It's over... Wake up!"

"Luo Futu! Do you want me to die!"

Because of the connection of neurons, Zhou Yan's thinking also reached the depths of Luo Futu's memories. He finally heard his roar. Luo Futu suddenly leaned forward, and his body was pulled out of the synapse of the seat. When he came out, the connection on his side was cut off, Zhou Yan also broke away, and the berserk mecha finally stopped.

Zhou Yan fell to the ground with tears streaming down his face——Luo Futu...how could there be such painful memories...
