The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 295 Demonstration (Part 2)

As expected, the other party's words stirred up waves, instantly extinguishing everyone's excitement and enthusiasm like a bucket of cold water.

What's going on? Captain Stark... they came to this school to learn individual combat skills, which naturally includes operating mechs. Isn't that why the school hired these sergeants to teach them that?
As a result, when they went to class with great enthusiasm, the other party told them rather dismissively that he was only responsible for teaching but not for subsequent adjustments.

What's the difference between that and just giving them a mech and teaching them on their own? And nobody cares! Even if Captain Stark has extraordinary abilities, it's incredibly irresponsible of him to say such things so easily when it comes to teaching students.

Stark knew exactly what those brats were thinking without even looking at their expressions.

It wasn't that he was being heartless, but that's just how the military operates. He'd always been raised with this kind of discipline: orders must be obeyed without question.

Since he's leading these kids to explore the D-class standard mechs, everything must be laid bare.

After all, what's the point of such activities acting as patient and instructive teachers? Mechs aren't toys for children; they are combined light and heat source variants of weapons evolved from generations of human civilization. If we're not careful, they can really take lives and endanger society.

Therefore, the military has very strict control over these types of weapons, and not every school is qualified to use these mechs in class.

The most crucial aspect of piloting a mech is the control of mental energy, which is closely related to the strength of each pilot's mental energy. This essentially eliminates those who haven't successfully completed their second awakening; those few have already been temporarily excluded from extracurricular classes by Stark and will have to wait until they complete their second awakening before participating in the course.

Allowing those who are not fully awakened to use their mental energy to directly connect with the mecha is still a very dangerous thing.

In the century leading up to the Fourth Star Era, hundreds of serious incidents occurred involving students piloting mechs and causing injuries, with thousands more undoubtedly going out of control. There were even instances of mech rebellions using loopholes to smuggle in unmanned vehicles. Consequently, the Empire enacted a specific law classifying mech piloting and established a special laboratory to develop simplified piloting modes and auxiliary tools, reducing the safety risks associated with those not fully awakened piloting mechs. In the subsequent star eras, this gradually evolved into a highly mature system.

Considering that the mental source and brain regions of those who are not fully awakened are not fully developed, and that mental damage suffered during this period can cause irreversible harm, students and members of the public, i.e., non-formal sergeants, must obtain the corresponding pilot's license in order to bypass the auxiliary pod and directly control the mecha.

This mech support pod is an auxiliary tool developed by the Empire and widely used in the education sector. It is equivalent to a semi-automatic driving mode and plays a great role in protecting the mental power of those who have not fully awakened.

If these people cannot successfully pilot the mechs even through the mech auxiliary pod, then there is no need for them to continue.

This is for their own good, because individual soldiers are beings who control mechs by consuming their own life force and spiritual energy. The sacrifices they make are unimaginable to ordinary people. This is also why the military has been able to stand independently outside the Imperial Governing Council to this day—because everything they have has been earned with their lives. Beneath all their glory lies the spirit of heroes who refuse to perish and the uncorrupted flesh and blood of their remains.

This is his most sincere advice to these hopeful children, as someone who has been through it all.

Stark said in a deep voice, which, as if intimidating, silenced the students in each drone cabin. Although they still showed some resentment on their faces, their eyes were filled with more fighting spirit and determination than before.

“Very good, then we can move on to the next step.” He walked a few steps to a distance of about three or four meters from the control panel, and then said in a deep voice, “Activate the mecha auxiliary compartment.” “Mecha auxiliary compartment numbered VBTR-8697269 activated, registered and marked by the Inner Star System Tiangan Star Construction Bureau, manufacturer ***…” a mechanical voice popped up to announce.

Oh, so it can be controlled by voice.

Everyone wasn't stupid; at the same moment, both Stark on the screen and everyone in the cabins tried to follow each other's lead and shout the same words.

As they finished speaking, the tectonic plates beneath their feet shook even more violently, as if trying to shake them all off.

Then, at the same time, a group of people rushed forward, their feet or even both feet exerting a backward force that propelled him forward. Behind him, a very tall, holographic-like structure rapidly appeared, accompanied by the clicking of mechanical and inorganic fan noises.

It's somewhat similar to the holographic simulator that Jiang Hui once bought, but the overall parts and assembly structure are more complex and sophisticated.

No wonder the cabin is so empty; this thing has taken up almost a third of the front of the cabin, leaving very little room.

Jiang Hui avoided having his heel brushed against the simulator's base because he was aware of the distance Stark landed. He was just startled by the sudden appearance of this huge thing.

Once this thing came out, everyone generally understood what it meant.

This question is simple. It's not like the StarNet simulator; the operation method is probably similar. It's not as difficult as Stark made it out to be, no wonder he said he didn't need to demonstrate much. Many people regained their confidence, putting their earlier anxiety behind them.

Of course, some people were full of doubt, especially those who had already had prior experience with mechs. "Is this how you operate the interior of a mech? It's completely different from what they've seen."

Time was running out for them to think too much, and everyone hurriedly followed Stark's instructions step by step into the simulator cabin.

However, after entering the simulator, the other party did not immediately demonstrate the startup of the simulator, but instead began adjusting their seat on their own.

But everyone's height, weight, and even the length of their hands and feet are different, and there is no reference standard, so how can they adjust it?
The group had no choice but to adjust the buttons roughly according to their own intuition. Then they heard Stark say in a deep voice, "Close your eyes. Then disperse your mental energy, not too fast... layer by layer, little by little... spread it outwards evenly... feel the mental energy interception threshold device at the top evenly contacting your mental energy and gradually reaching a full state... then twist out several strands of mental energy from the middle and thrust them upwards..."

The speaker spoke at a moderate pace, even slightly slower than the previous steps. However, the sheer number of steps involved meant that most students couldn't control their mental energy to that extent, and they gradually fell behind.
