The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 297 Full Sympathetic Control Mode

So it's still not right? What's missing? Which part isn't activated...? Jiang Hui tried a few more times, but still couldn't stand up, and the mecha seemed to be completely unresponsive, which made him a little discouraged.

Then Jiang Hui heard a somewhat helpless voice, with a familiar coldness, seemingly far away yet also close to his ear: "Don't concentrate all your mental energy on your clever brain, allocate some to other things... otherwise how can you control the mecha?"

Stark's voice.

But what does it mean to 'concentrate all your mental energy on your brain'? Isn't that what she's doing...? She thinks she understands a little.

She hadn't entered this scene through a simulator-like device, so she was currently in a state of full mental and sensory awareness. It was somewhat similar to a holographic pod, except that unlike a holographic pod where actions could be projected onto a virtual image on the network simply by thinking, she was now manipulating a physical object, which required far more than just thinking.

She was familiar with the concept of commanding mental power, though she wasn't sure if that was the correct meaning, but she would give it a try anyway.

As her mental energy spread throughout her body, she instantly felt a strange sense of attachment, as if layers of power were enveloping her and stacking up along with the direction of her mental energy.

This feeling was quite strange. Although it was as if his whole body was being pulled by many divergent forces, Jiang Hui vaguely felt that his whole body, even his fragile neck and head, had become very powerful, as if he had suddenly gained a force of more than a thousand pounds.

However, she hadn't noticed it before, but now that her senses were connected to her limbs, Jiang Hui suddenly realized that the mecha's position was a bit off, and it felt like... the mecha was crouching.

Although it wasn't a physical body, squatting like this probably wouldn't feel really tiring, but the sensations were the same, so Jiang Hui tentatively tried to straighten up.

"Crack... Rumble—"

The quiet battle arena was suddenly filled with the sound of mechanical operation, which seemed abrupt and attracted everyone's attention like a signal.

What's that sound? Isn't this a class in session? Is this some kind of enemy attack?!
This was the first reaction from everyone.

They painstakingly connected the mech's auxiliary pod following Stark's instructions, but most of them couldn't keep up and got stuck at this step. Stark didn't rush them; this step was probably really crucial. He patiently repeated the instructions twice before letting them try it on their own.

Some people did succeed, such as Clarence, Jaidi, and Tader. They either had experience or had a high level of mental strength. Even if they failed the first time, they succeeded after a few tries.

Following Stark's instructions, they selected the level of sympathy and entered the loading state, waiting for their mental energy to combine with the mecha's auxiliary operating system.

None of them expected that before they even figured out the right approach, someone would already be skipping classes.

Leaving aside the few who had just entered the simulation state after reading their mental energy, the vast majority of students who had not yet successfully activated their auxiliary pods jumped out of them to see what was going on and what had caused the commotion.

I was shocked when I saw it! Good heavens, they were still "fighting" the mech's auxiliary pod, but the pilots were already able to move the mechs. Had they been too slow and missed some crucial step?
Oh…that looks like the mecha Jiang Hui chose. Holy crap, that was Jiang Hui's doing. She really is their number one; she can do anything. Yes, Jiang Hui had no idea that her seemingly easy-going classmates from Class Two had given her the nickname "Number One."

It wasn't just because the other person was the winner of that orienteering competition, but also because everyone, having witnessed the race from a third-party perspective, sincerely admired his foresight and preemptive actions. Jiang Hui seemed capable of everything, and always one step ahead of everyone else.

Clarence, who felt he had acted quickly enough, fell silent as the progress bar reached 90%. He had considerable experience before, and although his family had kept a close eye on him due to his young age, it didn't prevent him from acquiring knowledge in this area, giving him a clear advantage over the clueless students.

Moreover, he chose the highest level of communion. Given his mental strength, his speed of integrating with the operating system was no slower than others... Logically speaking, even if individual mechs had different levels of integration, the difference shouldn't be this significant.

As for the other two people who were also close to successfully connecting, whether they were unwilling or confused, we will not mention that for now.

Stark watched the whole thing from inside the demo cabin and sighed.

This guy is both easy and troublesome; how can something unexpected happen even during normal operation...?

However, the child's talent was even greater than he had imagined.

Stark's eyes darkened instantly. He already knew that Jiang Hui possessed considerable combat talent, but the first thing he saw in her upon seeing her was not the image of his friend Jiang Hui, but rather a shadow of her mother—not deep, but so similar. That solitary, independent spirit seemed to be passed down through generations like a cycle of reincarnation.

He had assumed that the other person would inevitably follow the same path as his parents, but now it seemed that the other person might go even further than he... and they had imagined.

Although the Empire developed the mech support pod to protect the mental brains of those who were not fully awakened, the situation is not absolute.

There is a group of people whose mental strength is exceptionally gifted. Both their mental strength level and activity stability far surpass those of minors. Assistance pods would actually limit their development and corrupt their natural instincts. However, in order to protect these individuals, the Imperial Central Laboratory later introduced a hidden mode for the assistance pods: the full sympathetic control mode.

As the name suggests, the mecha auxiliary pod is a tool that assists in piloting a mecha. It replaces the mental communication string system used in normal mecha piloting as an intermediary for controlling the mecha. It is safer than the latter, but also more restrictive.

为了配合不同精神力等级和状况的未完全觉醒者使用设置了七个交感级别，30%、50%、60%、75%、80%、85%以及90%。

The first three are too low and are generally only used for certain special purposes or for non-combat research personnel. The latter four are the most commonly chosen by students learning about mechs.

Jiang Hui doesn't fall into any of these categories. She belongs to the eighth category, which is not listed above. Because her mental strength and other conditions are close to those of a high-level fully awakened individual, she can skip the steps of choosing the level of sympathy and enter the full sympathy control mode, which is the closest to the mode of directly controlling the mecha.

Sorry, I've had a high fever for three days and I'm really too weak to update. I'll see if I can manage today.
