forced guardianship

Admiral Kent certainly didn't really think that Merlin was here to give Joshua extra lessons, but he didn't expect that Merlin would bring such explosive news.

The little count was also completely shocked, not only the two of them, but even Fu Xi and Hou Yi who were playing around were stunned with a hush.

Whether it's the soldiers of the alliance army or the mechas in active service, who would have thought that the leader of the rebel army who started the war was actually Pangu, the war god of mechas who has been respected and admired by all the soldiers and mechas for many years! ?

"When I just learned the truth," Merlin said helplessly while helping his mirror frame in the [-]D communication screen, "The reaction was similar to yours."

Xiao En said hesitantly: "Wait, Pan Gu's rebellion, does it refer to this war? Or the one in 929?"

Merlin spread his hands and said, "Obviously, both times."

Joshua looked at Sean cautiously, and asked after deliberation: "In the last battle of the Lenaye counterattack in 929, the former chief data engineer drove Pangu to fight the enemy and was seriously injured. Pangu died in battle...isn't that so? ? How did it become a Pangu rebellion?"

Merlin sighed, and said: "We can't recover the situation at that time. We can only guess what it is, but one thing is clear. It is true that Philip was seriously injured, but it is false that Pangu died in battle."

After the battle in 929, Pangu's memory was sealed and stored in the specimen, and the smart chip that was forced to sleep due to damage was inserted into the human brain with the purest spiritual power.In terms of the vital signs of a mech, the word "killed" is still far away from it.

Sean frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "It even has a higher-level smart chip now. Maybe it's not humans who made it stronger, but we are following the steps it arranged to help it become stronger."

A year and a half ago, Sean, who was the lieutenant general of the T92 space team at the time, went to the Capital Mecha Depot to steal the memory of the Pangu specimen under the order of Admiral Khan Tara. Terry got the 4S chip at home.

Pangu's memory and this chip were recombined to form the brand new "Pangu". The alliance army ridiculed this new mecha with a higher configuration as a pirated Pangu, but in fact, it has all the memories of Pangu. , it is not a pirated version, it is Pangu.

And Di Ku, who has always been considered the leader of the rebel army, is obviously just Pangu's winged minion. More than ten years ago, he pretended to be a black market seller and successfully handed over Pangu's smart chip to King Tidal. The proper Petri dish—that is, Joshua—does all the work.

Their plan has been implemented since more than ten years ago, and every step is extremely precise and just right.

Fuxi couldn't help but whispered: "To tell the truth, the smart mecha is worthy of the word 'smart' if it does this kind of thing... Don't look at me like that, I'm just talking casually, I didn't want to Join them."

Hou Yi said: "With your IQ, you are not worthy."

Fuxi: "..."

Accepting the fact of Pangu's rebellion, many phenomena that seemed unreasonable before can also be reasonably explained.For example, the new army spent a lot of time in order to obtain Pangu's memory. Sean thought it was to cover up the truth of the mech mutiny, but in fact their purpose was to welcome back the real leader, Pangu.

"In that case," Joshua said thoughtfully, "now that they are trying to get back the old chip, is there any other purpose?"

Merlin was a little surprised: "They want to get back the old chips?"

Joshua nodded and said: "Yes, the name of the 2S-level mecha that I forcibly manipulated is called Emperor Ku. Before I manipulated it, it could directly intervene in the spiritual power to establish communication with me. The chip is very urgent, it says there is a way to get the chip out of my brain, but I don't believe it."

"There is such a thing," Sean sat up straight and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Joshua said innocently, "I haven't had time to say it yet."

Sean paused, and began to dig through old accounts: "It's just like you planned to manipulate Emperor Ku but didn't tell me in advance, all because it was too late?"

Joshua blinked and said, "This...it was indeed too late."

"Admiral Kent," Merlin intervened in the conversation between the two of them, "Educating wayward children can wait until you are alone together. Now listen to me and finish what I have to say? To be honest, my old mecha The fuel is not too abundant to afford to waste."

The general gave the wayward child a deep look, then turned to Merlin and said, "Please tell me."

"The chip in Joshua's brain is gradually waking up. After it wakes up, it will have its own activity consciousness. Only Pangu can control this consciousness. In other words, the only one who can take out the chip is Pangu. The 2S-level mecha didn't lie with bluff, Pangu can indeed do it." Maybe the fuel is really running out, Merlin said concisely this time, "This kind of 'take out' is not to take out the actual chip, but to take out the actual chip. Its extended spiritual power is completely withdrawn. Regarding this part of theoretical knowledge, if you have the opportunity in the future, you are welcome to attend my class at Guangyao College. Now we have to figure out one thing first, why did Pangu take back that An old chip? Judging from its current situation, this old chip has no substantial meaning to it, and it is not just for collection for nostalgia."

Sean speculated: "That chip is related to whether Philip can wake up. It may want to master the chip just to make King Tidal use it. However, Pangu's spiritual power to extract the chip with the method you mentioned will not be harmful to Joe. Did Shua do any harm? Would it affect Philip?"

Merlin replied affirmatively: "Theoretically speaking, this process should be safe for Joshua. When I was on the home planet, I wanted to collect Philip's brain data, but was rejected by King Tidal, so this chip is very important for Joshua. I'm not sure what form Philip's influence is in, unless I can get the data after Pangu's evolution. As a data scientist, all my reasoning and conclusions must be based on the data."

Sean shrugged his shoulders and pointed out something else: "Indeed, this is the code of conduct for a mature data engineer. A wayward data engineer can't do this. They will put themselves in danger without being obedient. Their favorite All you do is take risks."

Joshua glanced at him: "Are you talking about me? Please don't criticize Sang and scold Huai, sir."

Sean said eloquently: "Am I not right? Major, you have to restrain the personal heroism in your heart. It used to be called rebellious youth, but now you have a family."

Joshua was indeed insufficiently prepared for manipulating Emperor Ku, and he was inevitably a little guilty, so he puffed up his cheeks and stopped talking.

"My eyesight is not very good, I just noticed the rings on your hands," Merlin said in a bit of astonishment, "Is that a wedding ring?"

Joshua was suddenly a little embarrassed. Facing his teacher, he also felt that his marriage and love experience was quite deviant.

Admiral Kent said with a smile on his face, "That's right, your student Joshua has changed from the little Earl of the Kent family to the wife of the Marquess of Kent."

Joshua whispered dissatisfied: "Do you have to make this so strange?"

The general smiled indifferently: "What's so strange? We are not related by blood, and we are not the target of being caught."

Seeing that the two of them were about to chat privately again, the usually gentle and steady Merlin almost went crazy: "You two, my mecha! Immediately! I want it! No! Fuel! It's gone!"

Joshua bit his thumbnail unnaturally: "Sorry."

Sean said: "I will ask the space control force to release it. The coordinates of our camp are..."

"No no," Merlin said, "You still haven't figured out my intention, I don't plan to go to the D2 team, I have other places to go."

Joshua asked puzzled, "But isn't your mech running out of fuel?"

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There are other troops on Planet Lenaye."

"Yes," Merlin said, "Now they should be very much in need of a data engineer who has made some achievements in the professional field to reopen the central system of that 2S-level mech."

Joshua finally understood his intention, opened his eyes wide and said, "Just now you mentioned that you want to collect data after Pangu's evolution... I don't think it's a good idea, it's too risky. Let's think of other ways, We will have other ways." He looked at Sean with hope in his eyes.

Sean seemed to hesitate a bit, before saying after a while: "Maybe we can..."

Merlin laughed and said, "There is no way to be more direct and effective than this. I think you agree with my point of view, Admiral Kent."

Sean could only say: "...This is indeed a good way."

What else did Joshua want to say, but Merlin said first, "Joshua, don't worry about me, I came to Planet Lenaye just to do this. Even if Pangu betrayed human beings after evolution, it can't be changed The fact that it was originally my work. No matter how the mecha evolves, it will not exceed the scope of data calculation. We want to end this war and how to save those Union soldiers whose spiritual power is polluted after the war. These must be passed You have to have accurate data to do that. And, there’s really no one better suited to the job than me.”

Joshua was infected by the determination and firmness in his tone, and couldn't help but said, "Teacher, what can I do for you? Maybe, I can be with you..."

"No," Xiao En said decisively, "You should be aware of your physical condition. Of course, if Teacher Merlin needs it, the entire D2 team will give him the utmost cooperation."

Merlin added: "Before we get the complete data link materials, we can take advantage of the fact that the other party wants to get back the old chip in Joshua's brain, and let Pangu pull out the chip's mental strength...if possible , and it would be best to find a way to wake Philip up."

Sean rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "I think, the rebel army's data division team should already have data divisions that King Tidal placed in advance, and they must have achieved some results in their hands.

Merlin nodded: "I've also thought of this point. The pollution coverage of the data master's mental power by the mecha should not be as large as that of the fighter. After all, not all data masters have the experience and ability to directly manipulate the mecha. There is no connection with the mental power. Pollution is out of the question. Joshua, don't worry so much, you see, I'm not alone."

Joshua did not give up: "What can I do?"

"There will be something you need to do," Merlin said with a smile. "After I restart that 2S mecha, it will try to contact you again. Since they want the chip so much, you can't stay out of it."

Joshua said seriously: "I will deal with it carefully and do my best, teacher, please rest assured."

Merlin lowered his head, as if to check something, and then said: "The fuel is almost exhausted, I have to go to what I should do. If it goes well, we will see you soon."

This mecha is a retired product that was half cheated and half snatched from the hands of the little prince Antonio. Not to mention it is old, and the fuel supply system has also failed. No, Merlin's ability to make it last until now has reached its limit.

The communication screen flickered a few times and then was completely shut down.

Joshua rested his chin on one hand, with a somewhat disappointed expression.

"Don't worry about him," Sean reassured, handing him a glass of milk, "he's sure of what he's going to achieve, and he's obviously not a megalomaniac... If it wasn't for his eye injury, he would definitely be a pretty good player." soldier."

Joshua held the milk cup and said, "Yes, Teacher Merlin is versatile. I admired him very much when I was in school. Just now, this kind of worship almost reached its peak." He sighed and said with emotion : "Vision constrains him, just like gender constrains me. Perhaps life is destined to be impossible to be perfect in everything."

Sean poked his cheek amusedly, and said, "Hey, a 17-year-old boy has already begun to learn to appreciate life."

While hiding, Joshua deliberately said: "Didn't the officer just say that I am a family man? Isn't that qualified enough to be emotional about life?"

Fuxi jumped up and said, "Wow, do singles not even have the right to sigh about life? Are you going to give singles a living?"

Hou Yi said wearily: "You are so annoying, can you stop coming out all the time to show your presence?"

Fuxi knelt down beside it, and said aggrievedly, "Enliven the atmosphere."

Because he couldn't control two high-level mechas at the same time, Hou Yi still hasn't re-established the spiritual connection with Joshua, and his life is quite depressed. hair.

Here, Sean is still persistently poking Joshua's face. Joshua couldn't avoid it, and couldn't bear it, he turned his face and opened his mouth as if to bite. He thought Sean would definitely avoid it, but he bit him right away. .

"Why don't you hide?" Joshua grabbed Sean's finger and looked at it. There were deep teeth marks on the finger. The little count frowned, "I tried too hard, does it hurt?"

Xiao En said hypocritically: "It hurts, I have to blow it."

Joshua: "..."

Sean rubbed Joshua's lips lightly with that finger, and said, "What day is it today?"

"Th... the third day." Joshua's lips were numb from his rubbing, and he grabbed the mischievous hand again.

Xiao En's smile was a little frivolous, and he sighed exaggeratedly: "It's only the third day? I can't wait."

There will be seven to ten days between the appearance of the oestrus precursor and the arrival of the hot period.

Contrary to Admiral Kent, the major's mind was hardly on this matter.

"Tell me, will Mr. Merlin's spiritual power be polluted?" Joshua asked worriedly, "If he also becomes a part of the rebel army, what shall we do next?"

Sean said casually: "He won't let himself encounter that kind of situation. To be honest, apart from my father, I have never seen a data scientist who is calmer and more thoughtful than him."

Joshua looked at him and said, "Sean, if, I mean if, your father still doesn't wake up in the end..."

Sean brought the milk glass to his mouth, and said calmly: "After Merlin intervened, my worries about this matter have been reduced by at least half."

Joshua drank two mouthfuls of milk, and asked incomprehensibly, "Mr. Meilin and your father used to be teachers and students, but it is said that your father dislikes the teacher very much. He has been very disrespectful to the teacher when he went back to his alma mater to participate in activities several times... ...Ah, I'm not blaming him, there may be some misunderstanding between them... Do you think the teacher will not mind the past, or do you think about the old relationship between the teacher and the student and go all out to save him?"

"There is no misunderstanding between them," Sean wiped the milk stains from Joshua's mouth, and leaned over to lick and kiss Joshua for a while, before saying, "You may have heard a rumor about my father. He was expelled from the Setley family back then because he refused to obey the family's will and marry a noble alpha."

Joshua nodded: "Yes, Dean told me about my rumor. Because of this incident, he interrupted his studies and quietly left the capital to join the army. After years of hard work, he became the chief data officer of the alliance. An inspiring story of the heart."

Xiao En smiled, and said helplessly: "Inspirational? Not everyone wants to be the protagonist of an inspirational story, at least my father doesn't want to. Forget it, this is a digression. What I want to say is that the person who wanted to be with The alpha he married, do you know who he is?"

"Who is it?" Joshua pondered over it, but couldn't believe it, "It can't be Teacher Merlin, right?!"

Sean spread out the military mattresses in the tent, then shook off the blankets, winked at Joshua frivolously, and said, "Come on baby, uncle will tell you a bedtime story."
