Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 216 (Chapter 12) The Mystery of the Black Box
Lei Mengmeng's explanation finally made Lin Youde understand why Gu Tie was here.

"But, Mengmeng, why do you think of letting me drive the ancient iron? Do you think I can start it?"

Lei Mengmeng smiled and nodded: "That's right. After all, Gu Tie and the White Knight are a pair. Just like us, I drive the White Knight, and of course Gu Tie has to be driven by you."

"As for whether it can be activated or not, I believe you can."

Lin Youde wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead: "You say that, I feel a lot of pressure..."

Lei Mengmeng patted Lin Youde on the back: "There is pressure to be motivated."

"And, Youde, if you can't activate the ancient iron, then you can only drive the Extreme Soldiers II Kai."

"Are you sure you can use the ordinary extremely special soldier II Kai to show its full strength?"

"You know, in reality, you don't have the title blessing in the game."

Lin Youde felt even more stressed.

Glancing at the row of mass-produced extremely special soldiers II in the garage, Lin Youde finally set his sights on Gutie.

"let me try."

"Okay~!"

"Come on, go up from here, try it quickly."

Lei Mengmeng forcibly pulled him into the elevator and opened Gutie's cockpit, but Lin Youde didn't even change his clothes.He sat in casual clothes.

According to Lei Mengmeng's prompt, he used the combat bracelet on his right hand to stick it on the console.Then press the start switch.

After a while, there was no response.

Lei Mengmeng was full of disappointment: "Is this even okay?"

Lin Youde blushed: "If it was that easy, wouldn't the military have started it long ago?"

Lei Mengmeng lay weakly behind the console in the cockpit, her tone soft.

"I thought that as the driver of the White Knight, my boyfriend was the activation condition for Gu Tie."

"I didn't expect that, no."

Lin Youde pinched his brows speechlessly: "So, don't worry. I just came here, let me study and study carefully."

Lei Mengmeng came back to life again: "It's true. Anyway, you've come here, so don't worry about it for a while."

Lin Youde nodded: "That's the reason. Mengmeng, please give me Gu Tie's information first, and I will study it first."

Lei Mengmeng waved her hand: "Okay, wait a minute."

After jumping out of the cockpit, Lei Mengmeng took the elevator down.Lin Youde sat in the cockpit, the console of the researcher Gu Tie.

"It's really... There is no response at all. The cockpit is obviously powered on and can be opened at any time. But the central control computer just can't be started. Does it not meet any special conditions?"

Lin Youde stroked his chin and hoped for a while in the cockpit to no avail, then smiled and shook his head, leaning against the cockpit and laughing.

"Forget it, even if it can't be activated, it doesn't matter. I am already very satisfied to see the real Gutie. After all, when I was playing machine warfare, I liked Nanfang Xiangsuke and Gutie the most..."

A strange fluctuation flashed by.

Lin Youde was stunned for a moment, then looked around: "What did you feel just now?"

"Youde, I'm back." Lei Mengmeng climbed in with a tablet computer, and then looked at Lin Youde with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter?"

Lin Youde frowned, and continued to look around: "I don't know how to explain it. When I was sitting here just now, I felt a very strange feeling. It's like... like... Oh, anyway, that feeling is very strange , which cannot be explained in words.”

Lei Mengmeng quickly comforted him: "Youde, don't worry. You mean, what did you feel? Is it the new human's spiritual induction that made you feel it?"

While Lin Youde frowned and nodded, Lei Mengmeng thought for a while, and suggested: "Then why don't you use the new human's telepathy to feel this machine body? If it's the reaction produced by the machine body, it should also make you feel it." That's right."

Lin Youde nodded, closed his eyes, and used the new human's telepathy to feel the existence of Gu Tie.

Lin Youde: "Strange...why there is nothing?"

Lei Mengmeng: "The range is not big enough? Or is the perception not strong enough?"

When Lin Youde heard the words, he not only complained: "Making a miracle happen, right?"

Shaking his head, Lin Youde limited the range around the ancient iron body, but his mental perception had just reached the maximum.

then……

Lin Youde sensed a wonderful existence.

"I'll go, really?"

"What? Got it? Where?"

Lin Youde opened his eyes and looked down.

Lei Mengmeng looked down and saw Lin Youde's...

Lei Mengmeng: "No, no."

Lin Youde: "???"

With Lin Youde's forehead full of question marks, Lei Mengmeng turned on the tablet with a blushing face, and brought up a picture and put it in front of Lin Youde.

"This is the perspective view of Gutie's skeleton. Youde, where is the place you feel?"

Lin Youde glanced at it, and pointed to the directly below the cockpit: "Here, Gu Tie's waist."

Lei Mengmeng was a little surprised: "This location, I remember, is Gutie's power furnace, which is where the "black box" is. "

Lin Youde froze for a moment: "The location of the black box is the power furnace of the body?"

Lei Mengmeng responded: "Yes, the black boxes of most black-box bodies are located in the power furnace. This is why we can't study the power furnace of the black-box body. Because the power furnace itself is inside the black box, I can't get it out at all."

Lin Youde frowned: "Can't take it out? But, I remember that the R-2 can adjust the parameters of the power furnace?"

Lei Mengmeng shook his head: "That's just using the body's own ability to make internal adjustments. Although we understand that the parameters of the power furnace can be adjusted, we haven't studied how the body's program is fed back into the black box. It is also the reason why R-2 cannot stabilize power furnace processing."

After researching for a while to no avail, Lei Mengmeng suggested to Lin Youde.

"Youde, why don't you concentrate all the perception of new humans in the black box. See if you can use the perception of new humans to perceive the inside of the black box."

"So far, human beings have not appeared, like the new human beings, who can autonomously control the existence of perception."

Lin Youde complained: "It's not that new humans can do it, but I can. Before I reach LV10, I can't do this kind of thing, okay?"

After complaining, Lin Youde obediently complied.

The new human's perception ability is concentrated a little, rushing to the position of the black box, and then...

"I fuck..."

"Virtue?"

As if he had hit something, Lin Youde slammed his head backwards onto the seat, holding his head and gasping for air.

"Youde, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Youde holding his head in pain and gasping for air, Lei Mengmeng's face turned pale from fright.

After a while, Lin Youde came to his senses, waved his hands and said.

"No, nothing. I just feel a little headache..."

Lei Mengmeng looked worried: "Then..."

Lin Youde waved his hands and said excitedly: "However, I have made a major discovery. Inside Gu Tie's black box, there seems to be something similar to consciousness."

Lei Mengmeng's eyes widened: "Doesn't that mean..."

Lin Youde looked excited and surprised and said: "Yes, in a sense, Gu Tie has self-awareness..."
