The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 400 Startup
Jiang Hui sensed something different as soon as he entered the auxiliary cabin. Wait, this isn't an auxiliary cabin; could it be the operations cabin directly?!

That's right, this is the original owner's father's mecha. He's been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so it's impossible that he's still using the auxiliary pod. He must be using the ∞-string system of mental communication normally. No wonder it felt different as soon as this system was connected...

She felt a little uncomfortable.

"Beep beep—Genetic biological NA-derived monomers of host Jiang Hui (deceased) have been detected... Personal data file read... Beep beep—Registration in progress, awaiting reporting... Beep beep—Class A mecha Pine Tree successfully bound, registration successful... Beep beep—New host Jiang Hui is logging in for the first time, currently reading body data, establishing a ring-shaped three-dimensional DOS..."

As mental energy was extracted in large quantities, the outlet for mental energy loss suddenly widened. Although it was still within a manageable range, the sense of emptiness caused by the massive loss of internal energy made people instinctively panic.

Jiang Hui began to feel dizzy and nauseous, and the increasingly intense sensory stimulation made her lose track of time.

Time seemed to be flowing rapidly, and the surrounding scenery was rapidly reversing, gradually intertwining into a solidified light and shadow. Jiang Hui felt as if she had entered a bizarre and fantastical world, and strangely enough, the moment she entered, her heart seemed to calm down.

After a long while, she felt her legs touch solid ground and seemed to regain the sensation in her body. The girl shook her heavy head in confusion, looked around, and then instinctively raised her hand.

Upon seeing the hand that suddenly appeared in her line of sight, Jiang Hui's pupils dilated slightly, and she instantly realized what was happening.

"Huh? It really worked! This little guy is pretty good..." Two staff members who had retreated to the Stark side said in surprise.

They didn't wait long; it seemed like only a moment. Jiang Hui successfully logged into the mecha system and gained control. They could clearly feel the hot and cold air gushing from the mecha's exhaust vents—a phenomenon that usually only occurs when the mecha is fully activated.

This means that the little guy has officially connected to the ∞ string system and successfully started the mecha.

That's a real Class A mech, not some toy model. It can't be started up just because you want to, and it's not enough to just have an imperial approval for its transfer. The new host of this mech must log in and be certified using his own mental power in order to truly be worthy of using this mech.

This might make sense for a fully awakened individual, but Jiang Hui is an incompletely awakened one. She looks quite young, and given her age, it's unlikely she would operate the machine without assistance. Therefore, the fact that she logged into this Class A drone without guidance or assistance and successfully completed the authentication suggests that her mental strength level and intensity are at least A+.

They hadn't believed Stark's words earlier, thinking he was just another elder who placed high hopes on the young man but overestimated him—but they hadn't expected him to be so insightful, and that the boy was indeed quite promising.

The two of them thought of the information they had just seen in the file. Given the qualifications and experience of the child's parents, it was not surprising that they had such a child. It was a pity that they had sacrificed their lives at such a young age, leaving behind only such a young child.

They would surely be gratified to see their child so talented.

Little did they know that if Jiang Hui and Jiang Yilin were here, they might have hoped that Jiang Hui, or rather the original owner of this body, would not follow in their footsteps, and could do what she wanted and enjoy a freer and more unrestrained life.

Unfortunately, not many years after Jiang Hui and Jiang Yilin left, their beloved little Jiang Hui also perished in an accident, and from then on, a visitor from another world took over that bloodline. But that's another story; right now, everyone's attention is drawn to Song Bai and the pilot inside the mecha cockpit.

They consciously stepped back a safe distance, watching as the mech smoothly "stood" up. It was clear the pilot wasn't used to the shape of the mech; the fuselage swayed for a moment when it came to a stop, but quickly stabilized.

The mecha's head turned slightly from side to side, looking as if the person inside was looking around through the mecha, seemingly a little bewildered.

"Captain Stark, your kid has been taking practical lessons for a while now, hasn't he? He seems to be doing quite well."

"Her? She's still far from it. But she only started attending the intermediate academy this year," Stark nodded slightly.

"That's great! Only a year old? I thought she'd be learning for much longer. She's very steady; she doesn't look like she's only been learning for a few months." The staff member who spoke was a retired frontline veteran. He had a friendly smile, but the natural air about him betrayed his past.

Despite his best efforts to adjust and conceal it, the condition of his legs was still immediately obvious. He had retired due to a leg injury over a century ago, and the injury still recurs from time to time.

Stark noticed earlier that the other person's legs seemed to have old injuries that were quite severe when they moved.

Although Stark usually appeared taciturn and cold-hearted, he never hesitated to show his respect to such an elderly senior who had worked hard for the empire, and he answered honestly when asked a question.

"Only half a semester?" Another staff member was quite young. Although the childishness was no longer visible on his face, he looked young and energetic, clearly having only been with the company for a short time.

Unlike the other staff member, he was a regular office worker who had entered through proper channels. He graduated from a higher college with a degree in mechanical testing and was assigned to the military affairs department because of his excellent grades, specializing in the testing of lost property. He had only been with the company for a little over a year and was indeed very young.

But because he is young, he is closer to Jiang Huihuai's generation and has a better understanding of the difficulty of piloting mechs.

Although he was neither a soldier nor a mecha pilot, nor even a graduate of a military-related major, they had taken some basic mecha operation courses in order to systematically learn about mechanical testing.

He took it as an elective when he was in college. He had already awakened and his mental strength was at a B+ level, but he never felt good during mecha practical classes. He felt like his whole body was being drained. Even now, the thought of that feeling of his mental strength rapidly disappearing still makes him feel a little scared.

This kid is still not fully awakened... He's only been learning for half a year, but he's not afraid at all. He just started and succeeded. It really makes him ashamed.
