The ground area of ​​the asteroid may not be as large as a man-made space station. It looks very compact. The most prominent building above is an institute. The appearance is very simple. It looks like a lonely observatory in a remote country. The experimental building, residence, and supporting facilities are all readily available.

The researcher on duty that night was dozing off collectively. One of his elbows fell down and woke himself up. He yawned in a drowsy eye, swiped blankly across the screen in front of the eco-cabin, gave a sudden meal, and rubbed hard After rubbing his eyes, he screamed and jumped up, and then ran out, "Gosh ... Doctor! Doctor!"

After a while, the entire laboratory boiled, all the sleepy researchers seemed to have beaten chicken blood, a group of people came in from the outside, there were some people picking up instruments to record data, and a group of doctors exchanged opinions quickly Opened a short and intense discussion.

The guards at the door were stunned. They trot outside the laboratory and stood in a row. The doctor inside saw it and shouted to them immediately: "Don't wait for people, especially 'second generation'. If you don't bring a shield, you will be in the ecological cabin. Of the spiritual web! "

The leading officer knew, and with a wave of his hand, the guards stood in two rows at the door and stood up with their backs to the laboratory.

These people's military styles are similar to those of the Alliance, but they are a peculiar sky blue. They do not look like serious military uniforms. The design on the epaulets is also the "Sword of Freedom" of the Alliance, but if you look closely, the sword and the Alliance The directions on the military epaulets are reversed, showing a weird sense—

This is the most disgusting and most elusive armed force, the Freedom Army, that is flowing among the eight galaxies.

The leader of the Guards Corps of the Freedom Corps looked at the busy white coats across the transparent isolation door of the laboratory. At this moment, at the end of the corridor, a wheelchair rolled over slowly, and there was an old man--Baita's The first person in charge, Dr. Harden.

The guard officer stepped forward quickly, holding his wheelchair, and greeted him respectfully: "Doctor."

Baita, the mysterious old man who was resurrected, looks a lot older than two years ago. The years were almost cruel to him. The arched back pressed his neck forward, making him stretch like a neck. Get an old turtle. Dr. Harden urged the automatic wheelchair to step forward, fumbled to the intercom on the wall and said, "He suddenly reacted. What's going on?"

"We were out of luck this time, Ph.D., when the revolution was close to the nearest point of the star, we hit a particle storm in the head and received strong interference. Due to the warning at the time, the equipment was being maintained, and the protective cover was lifted 0.01 seconds slower than expected. I guess It is because of this that it stimulates the autonomous protection function of the ecological cabin and causes the mental network to fluctuate. At present, we cannot judge whether this is an active response or whether it is brought by the fluctuating mental network. It is also difficult to say whether it is a good thing. impatient."

The officer of the guard sighed softly: "He is really alive? Impossible, isn't it? It's ... too powerful."

When the person in the ecological cabin was picked up, there was only one breath, the thoracic spine was smashed, the spine was fractured, and the internal organs were seriously damaged, but fortunately, almost all the injuries in this body were physical injuries. Can be cured.

The fatal thing was his brain.

Earlier, both the medical cabin and the doctor gave the same judgment-due to the backlash of the spiritual network, the people in the ecological cabin had already brain dead.

Later, the outspoken doctor and the medical cabin were "destroyed" by the moody master of the Freedom Corps. Others no longer dared to tell the truth. They had to stand under the pressure of death in cold sweat and pretend to surround him. He checked, trying to find evidence that some people were alive.

Unexpectedly, they actually caught a strange phenomenon.

This was a situation they had never seen before—the sloppy eco-cabin had a lingering mental network remnant. Although it had almost completely collapsed, the human-machine interface was still connected.

It is impossible for a person who is unconscious or dead to be connected to the spiritual network. If the interface between the man and the machine is connected, then the person must be alive, and it can even be said that he may be conscious.

But the spiritual net was "dead", and he did not have the response that a living person should have, and no one could say whether he was dead or alive.

They healed his body and maintained his various physical functions by medical means. If nothing unexpected happened, he could maintain this "sleeping beauty" state until the body naturally aged and Pop collapsed hundreds of years later.

But how to awaken this dead brain?

Through discussions, the most elite doctors and researchers of the Freedom Corps proposed a treatment plan that they could try to stimulate his brain response by stimulating his connected spiritual network. But this is risky, because in this unknown state, the person is like Schrödinger's cat, stuck between life and death. No one knows that a weak stimulus will break the current balance, will he wake up, or will he just disconnect from the spiritual net and die.

And their master Lin Jingmin, who seemed to have a bloodline of prehistoric doctors, unexpectedly rejected the treatment plan and only asked them to retain their physical functions. She sometimes came to visit, blocked everyone, and stayed with him for five minutes.

She left a whole set of cutting-edge medical research team to him, but did the most basic work of medical cabin and babysitter. It didn't seem to want him to wake up very much. It seemed to her that as long as he watched It seemed like alive, and she believed that he was still alive, and that was enough.

"It's like King Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone, this is destiny." Harden sighed, leaned slowly back to the back of the chair, and looked up at the guard officer next to him. "Is that you ..."

"Hello Doctor, I am a 'four generations'. I was originally ordered to promote the chip in the seventh galaxy. That year-shortly before the outbreak of the Seventh Galaxy war, I received a temporary order to go to the eighth galaxy and give it to General Lin Jingheng. After transporting a batch of mech supplies, I received another order from the host to suspend the original business, hidden between the seven or eight galaxies, standing in place, and reporting the development of General Lin Jingheng to the host at any time. "

Harden said "ah"-after two years of development, the ranks of the Free Army are now clearly defined. The identity and social status of each person depends on the level of the chip in his neck. The "generation" is the lowest. At present The highest level of development is the "fifth generation". High-level chip carriers can use the chip to irresistibly command the low-level carriers. Even a thought can make the low-level suicide on the spot, forcing everyone to be loyal and digging at the same time. Climbing up empty.

"Four generations" is a very prominent level. Obviously, for this officer, the identity of the "four generations" is more glorious than his name and position.

The "four generations" in the Freedom Army are usually people with heads and faces. Why shouldn't they be the security captain on such an asteroid, so he must have made great efforts to climb to this position.

Dr. Harden nodded. "It was you who saved you."

"Eh ... No, Doctor," the officer hesitated for a moment. Under the influence of the opium chip, he told the truth. He bowed his head. "I did it because of him. It took me two years to be lucky enough to be promoted along with the chip upgrade." Four generations', but I dare not say that he was saved by me. "

"At that time, I was ordered to hover near the battlefield to observe General Lin ’s movements, but they were playing too fiercely, the scene was too out of control, and we did not dare to approach at the time. I thought they were going to withdraw the eighth galaxy to be closed at any time. I was still Hesitant, if you go back to resurrect your life, you will be able to explain the situation. The war turned upside down ... I was frightened and thought that I had not completed the task. If General Lin had an accident under my eyes, I would definitely be executed when I went back ... etc. The remnants of the meeting withdrew, and I was not reconciled, looking for the energy response of the fierce explosion ... "

Dr. Harden said: "I heard that Fangwu will detonate the coalition and the jump point as they pass through the jump point."

"Yes, according to our inferences afterwards, General Lin's command ship at that time should be the first, that is, the moment the explosion occurred, he had already passed the transition point, compared with those who were directly suffocated in the transition point. His predecessor's habit gave him a glimmer of vitality, and his mech had a super-mechanical core-also known as "Zhan Lu". The super deformed material turned into an emergency ecological cabin in the explosion, blocking him for a moment, He didn't immediately turn into dust. "

Dr. Harden said, "However, the powerful mech core is also an artificial product, and the artificial product cannot possibly sustain the energy level of the transition point explosion."

"Yes, so this precious mech core was completely scrapped immediately, and the people inside should be immediately exposed to cosmic rays. Death is inevitable." The officer said, "But can you believe it, in this case? He turned out to be conscious and did n’t wait to die—I just explained to you that when the explosion happened, his location was the closest to Fangwu. At the moment before the mech nuclear network disappeared, he turned The vast spiritual net of the Super Mech nucleus spread to the extreme, sweeping one side of the ambush, and invading a small mech. "

Dr. Harden: "... it's impossible."

There is a mecha transceiver station in the heavy armor, and small and medium-sized mecha can be docked in, similar to ground carriers that can dock fighters. When necessary, a heavy armor itself can become a small team.

However, the mech designer considers actual combat. For safety reasons, when these small mechs are docked in the heavy armor, they are under the jurisdiction of the heavy armor spiritual network. That is, unless someone invades the heavy armor spiritual network, releases the small armor. Mecha, the spiritual network of these unmanned little mechas will be independent, and then there is the possibility of being controlled by intrusion.

On a heavy armor, there is at least one backup driver who strengthens the company. Even if Lin Jingheng is intact with Zhanlu and has the ability to sweep thousands of troops, at most, the man-machine interface of these heavy armors is unstable. , Shock for a while, relying solely on his own strength, long-term invasion of the heavy armor spiritual network is impossible.

Besides, he was so miserable at that time, it was a miracle that the spirit net that could be connected to the mech core was not broken.

"Even if his surviving will is so strong that they can't feel it when the Armoured Spirit Net of the Anti-Ukraine Society is invaded?" Dr. Harden asked. Notice, but did n’t he invade the other person ’s spiritual network, revealing his position? A tattered eco-cabin that was about to collapse on his own, there was nothing to do, and a breath of breath at him was enough to kill him. ”

"We later repaired a part of the recorder," the officer said, "it was found that he was not a randomly selected invasion target-the jump point detonated, the entire coalition was involved, countless arsenals in the mechs blew up, expanded the energy level, and turned black. The calculation of the meeting is actually very accurate, but it is impossible for anyone to estimate the true situation of the enemy ’s arsenal and firepower, so their flanks were swept aside by the aftermath of the explosion, resulting in several heavy armor shields. There is a different degree of damage to SpiritNet. The heavy armored mech transceiver station he chose broke out of the fuselage. He invaded a small mech on the mech transceiver station in one shot, using the small mech, to A temporary protective cover was put on the eco-cabin where he was located, but Fangwu would soon detect this part of the mecha transceiver station and explode it, and then his mecha nuclear spirit net collapsed. In this case, once The mental network was forcibly broken, and brain death was a high probability event, not to mention he had experienced it twice. "

The officer of the guard sighed: "When we found him, the temporary shield was almost wiped away by the particle flow. This person was too scary, but every time Fangwuwu reacted a bit slower, or his mech nuclear energy Hold it for a few more seconds, maybe he has succeeded in saving himself, but unfortunately ... "

As long as there is such a person in the world, Lin Jinglian, regardless of whether he is truly "alive", these medical elites assigned here have to protect his body diligently and diligently, they have carefully restored the ecological cabin, and even use an The external spiritual net fills up the original “dead without corpse” mental seam, making it appear to be false and false, pretending that the vegetative in the ecological cabin sleeps in it and can wake up at any time.

But they knew in their hearts that the people inside could not be alive.

"Doctor, is it just the disturbance caused by the stellar storm?" The officer asked.

Dr. Harden groaned, and at this moment, there was a faint tremor on the ground-an alien mech should have landed.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Jingyong shook off her guard and ran on with high heels. She didn't have time to apply any pink daisies on her face, and looked a little embarrassed, but her lips turned red because of the fierce movement.

All the guards didn't dare to say a word. All of them, including the only "four generations" of officers, stood still with their breaths, pretending that they were just furnishing.

Dr. Harden looked up at her, her long hair sticking to her chin, seaweed-like, and a sharp breath made her a little unstable. Lin Jingying looked at the old man blankly for a moment, and couldn't say a word. For a moment, Dr. Harden saw a little girl from her eyes, very small, not more than ten years old, desperately chasing his distant relatives, falling down, and crying. Little girl.

But only for a moment, there was a rush of footsteps behind her, and the guards' wastes finally caught up.

Lin Jinglian's eyes calmed down. She slowly tidy up the messy long hair. She turned her ears back, put on her shoes, walked around in a hurry, and coldly nodded at the fourth generation of officers, taking over Dr. Harden. Wheelchair, asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"Occasionally," Dr. Harden said, "you are all Laura's children. In my opinion, they are all the same. Let me see him."

"Thank you very much for your anxiety," Lin Jingyi smiled, her eyes did not bend, and then she raised her head. "How, I heard that this time it was caused by a failure of the early warning equipment?"

Four generations of officers responded quickly: "Yes, the early warning equipment failed, and it just happened to catch the stellar storm ..."

"Just right." Lin Jingdi interrupted him. "It can't be just right? I don't believe there is the word" just right "in the world."

The officer trembled and was afraid to speak.

Lin Jinglian: "Through investigation, otherwise ..."

Before she finished speaking, a doctor in the laboratory suddenly came out, and Lin Jingying's pupils contracted slightly.

"Master, we have reason to judge that this is not because of the abnormal fluctuations of the mental network disturbed by particle flow, but that the patient did respond after the mental network was stimulated."

Lin Jingying's eyebrows moved slightly.

"In other words, the probability of patients waking up has greatly increased, and we hope to ask your opinion on the next treatment plan."

Lin Jingyi answered without thinking, "I need you to maintain the status quo."

Harden: "Quiet!"

Lin Jingying gently covered his lips and held Dr. Harden's shoulders, saying with reasonableness and reasoning: "Doctor, everything is risky. I have only one brother, and I dare not let him take such risks. What's so bad about staying quietly here? Someone takes care of him, and we can take turns to see him. "

"You only have such an elder brother, and you don't want to let him take risks ..." Dr. Harden whispered, "Quietly, who indirectly found out the forbidden fruit in Lin Jingheng's hands? Who touched the fish in the muddy water and stopped the Silver Ten Guards halfway ?Yes……"

"Doctor," Lin Jingbi interrupted him coldly. "I gave him a mech, and I gave him an arm. I mixed him with water, the eight galaxies. Where can't he go? Is he crazy, is he? He himself had to trap himself in the eighth galaxy! "
