MECHANICAL: Mechanism

Le Luna's smile is like a portrait of the Virgin painted on stained glass, gentle and cold, she slowly shook her head: "No, it's not yet time, and it will not be worth the loss if it alarms the alien civilization."

Erwitt declined to comment, very calmly: "If you think so."

"Talk to me about that child," Le Lunay turned the topic around again. Obviously, she is more interested in this child of hope to some extent than the troublemakers from alien civilizations and Congress: "You I also know that I have been here for too long, since there is still a little time, let's talk about this child."

Strictly speaking, Le Lunay's condition is not a disease, nor is there any imperfection in being the first artificial human in the complete sense, but was passed through the body by cosmic rays when escorting the Noah's Ark fleet out of the Milky Way. Therefore, the state of "dying" has been maintained until now.

In order for her to exist, the Academy of Sciences had to freeze her, unless necessary.Of course, at first they also considered letting Le Lunai use the second form of existence to continue to be active-artificial humans are also a kind of master brain, and they can also be uploaded to the Internet in the form of brain waves, thus existing as AI in the online world.

But this plan also failed.

So the only way now may be the shell that the Academy of Sciences has been working on, which can accommodate Le Luna's body, transfer her brain, and gain a new life.

But so far, the research has not been very smooth, so in the foreseeable future, Le Lunai will still survive in the ice coffin.She herself doesn't have many opinions on this. After all, in the first 30 to [-] years of her life, she only existed in the research room. As a person, she experienced life itself, which was an experience she had never experienced before. Of course, she would not feel any regrets.

In particular, even so, she is still not out of touch with the outside world. Through Elwitt's eyes, she is watching almost all the scenes she wants to know, and there is obviously more than one communication channel with the outside world.

Le Luna basically has no need for entertainment and affection. Meeting Erwitt is all her entertainment and relaxation activities, and Erwitt knows this of course.So neither side regarded these conversations as too official. Since she wanted to know, Alwitt obediently continued.

"Very typical teenagers," Alwitt's first sentence is a comment that can make Yanchi feel overwhelmed, and then he added: "As you said, captivity has advantages and disadvantages for groups, and the children certainly grow up very healthy , relatively happy, but they really don’t know enough about how cruel the world is. I think this has a lot to do with Leto’s dereliction of duty in the education system. She obviously doesn’t adapt to the changes of children from generation to generation, and human nature That's it, they are indulging in ease, short-sighted, longing for a peaceful and peaceful life, prosperity and civilization...they are no different from before, the Banquet Pool is just one of them, and of course they are no different from them."

Le Lunay didn't expect that Alwitt didn't start his evaluation from Yanchi's military quality, but he raised his eyebrows quickly: "It seems that he also surprised you."

Alwitt paused subtly for a moment, and admitted: "Yes, you know my perception of human beings, and you also know my perception of teenagers. I don't need to go into details here. What surprised me is that his stress resistance and psychological quality are all important. It's better than I expected, so I actually have a little unrealistic hope for future experiments."

"I hope he succeeds."

In fact, if it is said that artificial humans have no emotions, it is obviously a misunderstanding and stereotype. As a precious army, they obviously belong to two completely different races from natural humans, so they have different emotional expressions. Of course, it is reasonable middle.

For example, Erwitt has always held an important position in the military department and led the army. In this case, of course he actually has feelings for every soldier.

It's just difficult to measure with human emotions, what kind of mood is this.

Le Lunai shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "I hope you will not be disappointed. The hope generated by personal feelings is often just an unrealistic vision. Of course we hope that he can carry it, but if not... If If we can’t, we’ll find what we can do.”

Her expression was calm, and her tone was not very decisive, which made her look all the more terrifying.

Alwitt has a probability hope for everyone, although it is only 20.00%, but Yanchi is indeed likely to succeed, so he will hold this hope and train him so that he can complete this matter.

It’s like a long time ago, they didn’t know whether the Noah’s Ark project would be successful, but they still boarded the fleet without hesitation, and it seemed a long time ago, they didn’t know whether the rule of the Galactic Empire could be overthrown, but they still Follow the rebels from the laboratory back to the abandoned earth.

Even if it is an artificial human, there are always some things that need to be done by thousands of people, and success is not the most important thing.

Alwitt was deeply influenced by Le Luna, he was used to not showing any expression, and he was also used to her lonely courage despite being surrounded by thousands of armies, as if she could pick up a knife and go anywhere at any time He nodded, "We have decided to use the banquet pool as a criterion to screen the entire army to see if we can form a special unit and analyze a common training method. It will take time, but we can do it. "

Secret gold is very precious, but at this level that can determine the overall situation, it is not so precious.Le Luna was not surprised that Erwitt and the Academy of Sciences could make this decision, but she still had a question: "So...do you think that this matter will be passed through Congress, not as easy as it is now?"

It's a profound question, as if the communication between them is mainly through the electric waves coming and going under the skull.

In fact, Congress and the military are the real state machines that check and balance each other. Although the Academy of Sciences is important, their position is to provide technical support. A marshal, or else rises to parliament to be voted on by MPs.

But Erwitt chose another path, directly following the path of internal deployment of the Academy of Sciences. For Le Lunay, this proved that Erwitt and the Congress, or in other words, the conflict between the military and the Congress, which holds great power, has become more and more serious. It's getting deeper.

There is no need to hide anything about Le Lunay, but obviously, Alwitt really thinks that according to what they said before, "the children can still handle it", so he didn't complain, let alone expand the story, just answered lightly: "This is not going to happen. The congressional process makes sense, whether it's the Academy of Sciences or the military, you need this level of self-determination."

Alwitt is not someone who likes to use soft policies. For him, this is not the most efficient and profitable option, and it is obviously not his favorite method. Therefore, it is not surprising that Le Rennay's influence is gradually weakening. Now that the conflict between the Congress and the military has come as expected, Elwitt doesn't have much respect or fear when mentioning Congress, and even vaguely reveals the fact that he is "annoying".

It is not Le Luna who is always in charge of everything. Although she is deified as a great mother, Le Luna, it does not mean that she is really kind and compassionate.

Precisely because he had foreseen the contradictions between the Congress and the military after the formation of a check and balance situation, Le Rennay would resolutely implement this political system.

Firstly, it is obvious that for a long time in the future, they will have to rely on the military system where all the people are soldiers, and cannot achieve a full-time military system. Then, the unrestrained power of the Congress and the unrestrained power of the military are obviously both It is not a good thing. When Erwitt exists, he will control the entire military department from being suppressed, and will not rely on power. If an accident occurs and Erwitt cannot continue to hold his position, then the military department will still be able to compete with Congress. , maintain a relatively stable regime structure.

For Le Lunay, whether it is himself or Alwitt, demise is just a matter of time. If you take it for granted that they will continue to exist, it is of course unrealistic to approach eternity, but if you only consider their time at that time, it is obviously a matter of time. Naive.

As for where humans should go after they perish, she doesn't think it needs to worry too much.

Everything that exists will eventually perish, this is true of artificial humans, and of course natural humans too, but according to the current situation, there is obviously still a long way to go before that day, so there is no need to think so much.Although she doesn't like the phrase "wait for me to die and let it be flooded", it seems to be applicable here.

After their demise, it all depends on whether there is a more complete political structure, a more long-term vision and a great soul.

And all of this is definitely not something that Le Lunay and Alwitt can decide, they are just creating a possibility.

When Erwitt returned to the courtyard, the night had already fallen, and the adjutant came out to welcome him, looking at him worriedly: "Your Excellency...the Congress invites you to attend the monthly meeting tomorrow."

It stands to reason that Alwitt should be present, but the invitation was received as soon as the banquet pool arrived, which is obviously a kind of provocation and temptation from Congress, saying that they are not ignorant of this, and of course they are also saying that they have knowledge right.

During this period of time, Alwitt has been under a lot of pressure as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Whether it is the staring eyes of alien civilizations, or some problems in his own development, or even aliens, he will never stop looking for trouble. As an adjutant His main task is to assist the marshal in his work, so that he can handle affairs in the best state, so the adjutant keeps informed about many things, and it is only natural to worry.

Erwitt hurried into the main building, took off his military cap, let out a sigh of relief, his shoulders flattened: "Understood, I will go tomorrow after making arrangements."

The adjutant hesitated even more: "They said they want to see Yanchi."

This child is actually not the point, the purpose of the Congress is the right to know and decide, and because the feast is not important, if Elwitt refuses, then the attitude is too tough, but if he agrees...

The adjutant didn't fully understand what Erwitt was thinking, but just because the Grim Reaper had no trained pilot, it was absolutely impossible for Yanchi to go out to accept the scrutiny of all parties.

His meaning is much more precious than himself.

Elwitt paused slightly, turned his head to look at the adjutant: "They want to see the banquet?"

The adjutant is not feeling well.

Although he was familiar enough with Alwitt, it was still a challenge to meet his eyes within a meter and say something that he obviously didn't want to hear.

The adjutant felt the hairs on his back stand up, and replied firmly: "Yes."

Erwitt looked back as if nothing had happened, took off his gloves and took off his coat: "Now is not the time."

That means he rejected Congress' request.The adjutant didn't know whether it was pride or a toothache.For Congress, Erwitt's attitude is not only indifference with contempt, but also a deeper humiliation than harsh words. Even though Erwitt's status is respected and special, there will always be a day when they can't stand him.

The entire military department was influenced by Elwitt, and they were even more frank about Congress. Therefore, the intensification of conflicts is a reasonable thing, which is not a good thing after all.

But as far as the banquet pool is concerned, it is beneficial and harmless for the military to maintain a tough style.The adjutant shut his mouth and didn't say anything. After finishing the coat that Erwitt took off, he heard him ask, "Where's the banquet pool?"

The adjutant didn't know that under normal circumstances he wouldn't enter the main building if Erwitt wasn't there. This was a very important sense of distance, so even if there were new guests staying temporarily, the adjutant wouldn't care too much.

What's more, he didn't like the banquet pool.

But the robot butler knew: "In the bedroom."

There was no adjutant here, so he withdrew, and Alwitt went to the bedroom of the banquet pool alone, followed by the robot butler Gululu.

The banquet pool did not turn on the light, and fell on the side of the bed, sleeping soundly.

Erwitt turned on the wall lamp and looked at him with complicated emotions.

Maybe it won't be long before Yanchi can no longer be called a person, and may even die.Although this fact is cruel, Alwitt has seen more.He is a war machine, but he is not ignorant of the preciousness of life.

It's a pity that for many years, he can only watch countless people die, his soldiers, his comrades in arms, and his children.

Alwitt sincerely hopes that Yanchi can survive, adapt, and succeed. Even if it is not for any utilitarian purpose, he still hopes that Yanchi can live, and live a healthy and normal life.

However, this was not the case for Yanchi. He woke up dazedly with the hairs standing on end under the gaze, and before he fully understood what happened, a question arose spontaneously.

Ask, when I woke up, I found that the male god of the whole army was standing at the head of his bed looking at you with complicated expressions, why?

... If it was the banquet pool in the past, he would definitely watch the bustle and wait in line: I love you secretly!

Now, hehe, he doesn't want to answer this question.

Yan Chi woke up and got up subconsciously, very flustered and terrified, feeling like a guilty conscience: "You're back, Your Excellency?"

Alwitt seemed to realize that he had frightened him, and took a step back: "Yeah."

Then immediately asked: "Want to see the god of death?"

He has long been used to the jump of his topic, and Yan Chi was not very surprised. He subconsciously glanced out of the completely dark window, and was surprised by another thing: "Now?"

Erwitt: "Tomorrow, if all goes well."

Is this going well or not?Does it depend on whether the god of death has a schedule?Yan Chi couldn't understand, but quickly buttoned the unbuttoned button, and stuffed the book "Through Your Black Hair, My Hand" into the quilt by the way.

In any case, he only read the ending of the book out of curiosity, and if Elwit saw it, his image would be even more strange.

"Okay." Yan Chi replied very obediently.

Elwitt felt that it was not normal, looked him up and down, and glanced at the crumpled collar that Yanchi didn't notice: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Yan Chi's expression was dull, and he recalled first: "No... no..."

He touched his stomach subconsciously and confirmed: "No."

He was hungry anyway.

After thinking about it for a while, Elwitt knew that since the robot butler didn't ask the banquet pool to get up to eat, it must have been put on the thermal insulation. He nodded to show his understanding: "Come down to eat."

It seems that it is indeed a bit late for dinner at this time. The distance between Sunel and Yecheng is too far, so the jet lag cannot be ignored. When Yan Chi sat down, he thought to himself, it seems that he still needs to adjust for a while.

In fact, he was still very disturbed, knowing that the results of the genetic test report were one thing, but since he hadn't really become the driver of Death, he couldn't rest assured, thinking that he had landed safely.

The ordinary army has never known much about mecha pilots, but if they simply think that this is a position of unlimited honor, it is obviously too naive, especially when Yan Chi knows that he does not need to be axed according to the general process. Corvette Regulatory...

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he still doesn't know what's wrong with him, and he must be supervised by Alwitt!

Judging from Yesel's words and Elwitt's attitude, this is obviously very serious!

Yan Chi couldn't eat anymore, and immediately couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with me? What are you hiding from me? Is there something wrong with me?"

Although it seemed too careless and impolite to treat a marshal like this almost questioning, but Yanchi was completely broken, and he didn't want to care about his behavior—has he lost too many people in front of Erwitt?

Moreover, Yanchi can now be sure that Alwitt doesn't care about attitude at all.

This is really strange, he believes that if Erwitt is scolded, he should not fight with the other party verbally, and he might not even be very angry, but...

But making him angry and disappointing him is still a terrible thing, Yanchi thinks that not many people want to try it.

But when he asked, he had a premonition. Since both Yesel and Erwitt were obviously avoiding him when they were in the Academy of Sciences, it is impossible to let him know suddenly now.

Sure enough, Alwitt sat very calmly across the table and raised his eyes to look at him, then shook his head after a while: "It's not the time yet."

Yan Chi frowned and bit his spoon thinking to himself, what time is it?

Maybe it’s because he’s used to scolding Fang Qiu as a marshal. In his daily life, Elwitt doesn’t look normal at all. As a cyborg, he definitely doesn’t have a family life in the true sense. It’s hard to say whether anyone can teach him to relax. and entertainment, so although his appearance is completely in line with the personality, Yan Chi still feels complicated, and even has some...very inappropriate and impolite pity.

Including the impression of this house, it also made Yanchi feel very complicated.He already knew that he had a problem, that is, he sympathized with someone too easily, and felt that the other person was not treated well by fate too easily.

Although this sentence is very sour, Yanchi looked around, whether it was the dining table, the floor, or the lamp, all of them were in a style that did not seem like a scene of life at all, so he couldn't help but sighed inwardly, thinking, this Also uncomfortable.

Moreover, as a marshal, the treatment that Erwitt enjoys does not seem to be what he deserves at his level. It is more of a need for work, including the existence of the podium and the working team next to it, not what Erwitt needs in English. So many people served him, but the Marshal needed.

So besides the status of Marshal, what else is left for Elwitt?

Anyway, Yanchi didn't find anything.

Including diet is also a very common thing. Yanchi can't say how the marshal should live, but he always feels that everything in front of him is too simple, even simple and avant-garde experimentalism.

Yan Chi shook his head secretly, picked up a piece of meat and looked at it for a moment, then ate it in one bite.

When he was pure and ignorant, of course he also admired Elwitt. It is difficult to say exactly whether he worshiped a great power, or the peak of technology, or the image of the deification of the army.

When he saw the real Alwitt, he was always surprised and surprised, and felt that he was neither the person he admired when he was naive, nor the person who was deified by the army, nor the person he hated. that person.

He is Erwitt, no matter what, there is always a person in this world who, outside of his official identity, knows a little bit, Erwitt himself.

Although I don't know if Elwitt needs this kind of view, and if he thinks it is necessary, this kind of thinking makes Yanchi feel a lot better.He really can't look too coldly at a person who has been with him for a long time and obviously wants to get along with him for a longer time. He just regards him as a symbol, a representative, a symbolic meaning, which is not only impolite, but also too uncomfortable.

Rather than being well-behaved and courteous, it is better to have a little human touch. Since this is not surprising to Alwitt at all, and he doesn't care about the intrusiveness of this kind of close representative, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

In any case, he has already experienced the most terrifying experience in life, and even killed an alien with his own hands, and now lives with Alwitt beyond common sense, so that he still has the sense of shame and caution (some Ever?), that is obviously impossible.

Thinking this way, even Banchi, who actually started to formulate a specific plan on how to sympathize with Erwitt, didn't know that Erwitt was cheering him on, hoping that he would keep breathing and not die.
