The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 131 Past
Yes, this thing was retrieved from the experimental zone by Stark seven years ago using a considerable amount of military merits and given to the original owner as a birthday gift.

Although the original owner had never met this Uncle Tang, the other party never forgot this little "niece" who could almost be considered a complete stranger.

When Jiang Hui was alive, he often boasted about his daughter, to the point that Stark was tired of hearing it.

He was born a cold-hearted person, and he had no parents. He grew up alone, stumbling and struggling. It was only after joining the army that he seemed to find his roots. He would probably dedicate the rest of his life to the empire, from birth to death.

But there were also a few people in his life who were different, like his silly friend. He didn't really know if they could be called friends... because when the other person was alive, he never honestly admitted to being friends. It was always Jiang Hui who kept trying to get close to him and befriend him.

His life was dull, but Jiang Hui was a very sociable person. The other person was born into a happy family, received a good education, was intelligent, and chose the military as he pleased, progressing much faster than his peers in the army. Even getting married and having children later on was not delayed at all... The other person had everything that Stark did not have.

Stark initially thought that this person, who had absolutely no similarities or common ground with him, insisted on befriending him, but he never expected that this person's enthusiasm would last for ten years.

He witnessed many important moments of the other person's life, as a friend and even as family. Although Stark's proud nature prevented him from truly becoming friends with him, he had unknowingly come to regard him as family as well.

The year Jiang Hui was born, he took the initiative to attend the child's one-month celebration. Although he did not agree to Jiang Hui's request to be the child's godfather, he silently kept this almost perfect fate in his heart and prepared a birthday gift for Jiang Hui almost every year.

However, he never appeared in the child's life, and Jiang Hui was still young at the time and did not know that she had such an Uncle Tang.

In the year Jiang Hui was preparing for his eighth birthday, Stark received another invitation from Jiang Hui and his wife. For some reason, he accepted and brought back this gift after a war—this storage device, intended as a surprise backup plan for his child.

But no one expected that before he could return to the inner star system with Jiang Hui and his wife, he would receive orders to be transferred to the front lines. The group had no choice but to break their promise to attend the birthday banquet, and the gifts naturally had to be sent back to the Jiang family via express mail, and then into Jiang Hui's hands.

This sudden defensive battle lasted for more than six months. Furthermore, this wave of star beast attacks was exceptionally fierce; in just six months, they had lost many comrades and even suffered repeated defeats. This was unprecedented in the last decade or so.

At that time, there was a shortage of manpower on the front lines, so even a lieutenant like Stark might have to take on a lot of tasks and pressure.

Jiang Hui's wife, Jiang Yilin, is an exceptionally capable mecha warrior. She is incredibly strong, one of the most outstanding young members of their unit, with a bright future ahead. Furthermore, she is open-minded and possesses a fortitude that many men cannot match.

Stark sometimes couldn't believe that his carefree friend could win the heart of this excellent officer.

At the time, the three of them, along with many other young colleagues, bore considerable pressure on that front, constantly awaiting reinforcements from the military. After all, the Imperial front was vast, and the number of troops stationed in each region was fixed; any increase required the submission of reasonable data and battlefield analysis models. However, no one could have predicted that the steadily advancing front would suddenly become extremely tense on certain days, with a relentless onslaught of star beasts appearing from nowhere. They were already short-handed, and the Imperial reinforcements required time to be deployed, making the situation increasingly dire.

Stark didn't want to recall what happened next; it was nothing but ruins and corpses everywhere. He also lost two of his closest friends in the war.

Lieutenant Colonel Jiang said nothing more. He didn't even get to see the other person one last time; he could only watch helplessly as the other piloted the mecha toward the blazing flames.

Jiang Hui followed suit not long after, but he was lucky enough to have a complete corpse. In his dying moments, the other person mocked his wretched appearance, more like crying than laughing, while wiping away tears and glancing in the direction where Jiang Yilin had sacrificed herself.

The other party even smiled bitterly and said to him... Does this count as saving him once? In this way, there is a return, a beginning and an end, and in the end, there are no debts of gratitude left to be repaid after this journey through the world.

This idiot is truly foolish! It's worse than that joke that wasn't funny at all, that someone would be thinking about something like this on their deathbed.

Stark couldn't say a word at that moment, nor did he dare to interrupt, because he was afraid that if he stopped the other person, he might not be able to say anything more and could only continue to listen to him talking nonsense.

The other party hadn't forgotten their youngest daughter, who had been left at home, and with a face full of guilt, begged Stark to help take care of their only daughter. This was probably the only thing they couldn't rest easy about.

Stark agreed. Unfortunately, military affairs were demanding, and he was unable to do so, causing the battle to drag on for several years. By the time Stark was finally free, the boy had already left in a huff to his permanent star system, so he came here instead.

Stark had been thinking how difficult it could be to take care of a little girl—his impression of the child was still based on Jiang Hui's descriptions of his daughter as innocent, cute, spoiled, but well-behaved.

But who can tell him why this child has been plagued by so many misfortunes? It hasn't even been a month since school started, and he's already caught up in a star beast attack, then inexplicably ambushed… What on earth is going on?!
Stark was now incredibly glad he'd been careful when exchanging gifts, not choosing those fancy storage items. Instead, he'd spent more military merits to exchange for a somewhat unusual combination.

When Jiang Hui found out, he angrily scolded him for wasting his military merits on such a strange and useless thing. The other party probably never expected that this thing would be used in such a situation, so those military merits weren't actually a loss.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, especially those in the know. While the molecular particle sensor interceptor did function somewhat like a surveillance camera or video recorder, it was a genuine military instrument, exclusively supplied to the military and completely unavailable for purchase outside the military. It was generally used for wartime intelligence gathering or reconnaissance…

Even high-ranking military officers would need to go through certain channels to purchase such an item. Now, it's been made into a spatial button and is appearing on a child?
Even spoiling a child shouldn't be done like this.
