MECHANICAL: Mechanism

Whether it is the emperor who died for his country or the leader who ushered in a new era, in the eyes of the entire history of mankind, it is just a drop in the ocean. Although it is the most important one, it will eventually pass away.

What still exists today is the Mingguang Palace, which was only a witness at that time.Such a long time did not change her into another appearance, but made her original appearance stronger and unable to break through.

This is the power of Mingguang Palace.

When Erwitt came, Mingguang Palace was the first to know, and the time was approaching for the meeting to start, but they were not in a hurry.Anyway, they are not even going to show the banquet to Congress, so why expect too much complicated reaction from Congress.

Heinrich took them to the meeting room and explained as he walked: "There was a problem with the original meeting room, and it hasn't been repaired yet, so we temporarily moved the meeting room and started at the spare one."

Anyway, it was just a regular meeting, and there was such a meeting every month, and neither side was very nervous.

When Erwitt and Mingguang Palace entered, there were already many people sitting in the meeting room. Although it was a regular meeting, it is reasonable to say that all the members of the joint military headquarters should be present at the meeting. In contrast, it seemed that they came alone The Mingguang Palace and Erwitt are too indecisive.

The speaker is about 40 to [-] years old, he is a gentle middle-aged man, of course, in the eyes of an old man with a long history like Elwitt, he is obviously just a child.They nodded to each other, the speaker stretched out his hand to indicate please sit down, the door closed, and the meeting officially began.

Different from the previous regular meeting, which was a routine meeting, this time it is a matter of real concern to both parties, so the speaker first started to ask questions as soon as he sat down: "Your Excellency Alwitt, Your Excellency Mingguang Palace, welcome to the meeting, we have heard that The new pilot of Reaper is here. According to the report provided by the Academy of Sciences, he is obviously the first successful case of a natural person driving an artificial mech, and also the first natural person who has started to evolve abilities—so, we make a request to see Seeing the hope of this country, what about him?"

Under the leadership of Domon, the resolute speaker, the Congress is now much more confident in the face of the military that defends the entire country.Mingguang Palace looked down at the teacup thoughtfully, knowing that this time was like going to meet the last emperor of the Galactic Empire with Le Luna many years ago, it was not the time for her to speak, and it was good to keep quiet.

Sure enough, as she expected, Alwitt's opponent is actually not suitable for a straight ball player, because he is straighter than the opponent.

"It's not the time yet, let him meet everyone."

Elwitt's words were way better than the speaker's. His tone was calm and well-founded. On the contrary, it seemed that the speaker was very unreasonable, even if he meddled in the affairs of the military department, he was very fierce.

But everyone here can be sure that Alwitt definitely didn't do it on purpose.

Seeing the speaker's deep and calm breath, Mingguang Palace finally regained his composure: "Then please explain to us, Your Excellency the Marshal, when will we, the pathetic logistics department, have a sense of participation."

Back to normal flow.

Erwitt was about to answer when the Mingguang Palace suddenly appeared and took the conversation away: "We can understand your urgency. After all, this discovery can completely change our current predicament in two senses, and even determine the fate of the entire nation. direction of the country's development."

She paused slightly, and after attracting all eyes, she did not rush to explain, but glanced at Alwitt first, and got his nod to agree to explain, then she stood up, took out the magnetic card from her pocket, and walked to the end of the meeting room Find the interface and plug it in where everyone can see it.

The pure white wall flashed, and a three-dimensional image appeared in front of everyone.

Mingguang Palace supported the table and looked around for a week. As expected, they all looked expectant, so they stood up straight.She was still wearing a knife, and after taking off her military cap, she looked a lot more casual, but her gaze at this moment seemed a lot more cordial.

"The cause of the matter is that we found that the Laimu people had evolved in an unexpected direction under the pressure of alien species—that is, us, no matter in terms of society or survival, so we invested more attention and research on them , and later discovered that they had formed resistance groups."

Mingguang Palace raised his hand and swiped in the air, and what appeared again was the focus of this debate, the banquet pool.

"At this time, we found that they started to gather in the direction of Yecheng, and then went to the city to inquire about the news. Banchi—the people you are most concerned about now just happened to be involved. So Alwitt went there in person, with two purposes: first, to investigate The strength of the Muren's rebels, and second, figuring out why they are gathered there, and now these two tasks are clearly overfulfilled."

"They found enrichment mines there, and they also got in touch with alien civilizations."

The conference room was already very quiet at this time, the speaker thought for a moment, and raised his hand in time when Mingguang Palace paused, Mingguang Palace signaled him to speak directly.

Speaker: "How on earth did they get in touch with alien civilizations?"

Mingguang Palace smiled slightly: "There is no conclusion yet, there are only two guesses. First, it is the wooden people's psychic ability to communicate with them by mistake. Second, they sneaked in on their own initiative. Of course, no matter the truth is the two Which one is possible is not good news for us, and we really can't verify it, so this is not the point."

"The point is, Elwitt discovered that secret gold may have a certain effect on our supernatural warriors, and Yanchi proved this. The research of the Academy of Sciences is still in its infancy, and Yanchi's reaction is not yet clear, but, we It has been determined."

This time, Mingguang Palace's voice was really faintly excited, and a burst of surprised noise erupted in the meeting room.

Humans have been wanting to use this ability for a long time, but it has never been scaled up. Now it finally has a clue, especially at this moment when the storm is coming and it is coveted by alien civilizations, it is even more good news.

Someone next to the speaker raised his hand and asked after getting approval: "So, what is the success rate? Has the Academy of Sciences indicated whether this method can be used on a large scale to promote evolution?"

Mingguang Palace looked at Elwitt calmly.

She was still standing in the center of her eyes, this seemingly unintentional movement must have caught the attention of many people, but if she immediately went to look at Elwitt, it would definitely be fruitless.It was strange when he had fluctuations that were obvious enough for everyone to see, but after all, he nodded, indicating that he could speak.

Mingguang Palace received the signal and tapped on the table to attract attention: "This is precisely the reason why we can't let the banquet pool face all eyes too early."

She sighed, her face was calm and composed, she glanced at the expectant and hopeful eyes of every member of parliament, and said word by word: "We have infinite hope, but to realize it, we have to work hard, go through a rough road, and cut the liver open." It's a matter of gallbladder, so far, Yanchi's death rate in the experiment is still at 80.00%."

There was an uproar, knowing that the Mingguang Palace had obtained Erwitt's consent, and it was absolutely impossible to tell lies, but many people went to see Erwitt again, hoping to hear different opinions.

Of course, Mingguang Palace understands their feelings. I don’t know how long they have been looking forward to and finally they can see a glimmer of hope. This is the moment when they are coveted by an alien civilization whose strength is unknown. The symbolic significance of this discovery is even far greater than its actual significance at present. She has experienced the feeling of shattered hope.

Generally speaking, an 80.00% probability does not mean that it will definitely fail, but in the eyes of these people, it is almost the same as failure.Even if Yanchi survives, the chance of complete success is zero.

For ordinary soldiers or government workers, the difficulty of driving a mecha is just a vague concept, and they may not really understand the true purpose and requirements of genetic testing technology. It is impossible for people not to understand.

In addition to these requirements, it is possible to be able to evolve supernatural powers?

Mingguang Palace no longer thinks about the possibility. They decided that Elwitt will be in charge of this series of work, that is, they will do everything they can to fight for it. There is a 20.00% probability and [-]% effort.

After all, it is a young and fresh life, and it is also their only hope at present. No matter what the reason is, Mingguang Palace is the same as Elwitt, hoping that he can succeed.

The meeting ended a lot later than usual, because there were too many things to say about the banquet pool, so the issues to be discussed in the regular meeting were moved back accordingly.Mingguang Palace also only spoke about the general situation on behalf of Erwitt at the beginning, which was equivalent to interrupting the confrontation between the speaker and Erwitt at that time to ease the situation, and then remained silent and stopped talking.

These androids are the same, when Le Luna is around, only Le Luna leads the way, and now it is difficult for Le Luna to appear, so they automatically back down so that Alwitt can take the lead.This qualification seems to be insurmountable, even the Mingguang Palace, at most, it is only to assist Elwitt when it is not suitable to come forward.

In the eyes of a natural person like Heinrich, it is a very strange kind of sociality.

After he ordered the follow-up matters of the regular meeting, when he came out and was about to return to his office, he happened to see Mingguang Palace coming from another direction, and it seemed that he was going back.

In addition to the councilors, there are also some robots working here to conduct related research, and the artificial humans are not without outstanding political talents, so they are assigned here, so most of the time when the Mingguang Palace haunts here, they will go and talk with the former bosses. Get acquainted and talk.

It wasn't the first time Heinrich met him, so he wasn't surprised at all, but just nodded dutifully.

At the end of the meeting, the mood of Mingguang Palace and Erwitt was not very good. Obviously, the importance of the banquet pool also put a lot of pressure on them, but as Heinrich expected, Mingguang Palace is now as usual , Seeing him also nodded with a very decent smile.

There is no need for military etiquette here, but it is a lot easier.

Mingguang Palace is also much more approachable than usual, and will chat with Heinrich: "How is your father recently? I haven't seen him in this regular meeting."

Nowadays, the life expectancy of natural people is much longer than before. Although Heinrich's father is sick due to bad luck, he is still in the prime of life, and he also serves in the National Assembly. Of course, Mingguang Palace knows him.

Although Heinrich was surprised that she looked much happier, of course he didn't ask: "I've been sick again recently and I'm recuperating at home. He also asked me to say hello to you. I will convey your greetings to my father."

Mingguang Palace nodded, and ended the conversation lightly: "Okay, see you next time, Heinrich."

Footsteps sounded across the corridor, and Heinrich turned his head and glanced at the direction where Mingguang Palace disappeared.

When Erwitt returned home, Yanchi just woke up from the sleeping cabin.

It was the first time he used this training method, and Erwitt could not monitor him, so he must maintain his participation and not ignore it, so he made an exception and left early.

When going upstairs, Yan Chi turned over with difficulty from the sleeping cabin and fell to the ground with a plop.

At first he thought he was only dreaming.

Then everything changed. At that time, he completely forgot that this was training, it was a sleeping cabin, and it was not real. He really faced his fear once.

He didn't even know what he was afraid of, just fear.

Erwitt opened the door and came in, just in time to see Yanchi lying on the ground, his back was wet with sweat, his hair was also wet, panting quickly, the adjutant was standing aside, ready to reach out to help him up.

The adjutant has also experienced this kind of thing. While greeting Erwitt, he set up the banquet pool with all his strength.

The black pupils were slack and almost out of focus. Alwitt reached out to probe his forehead and found that his body temperature was only within the normal range, so he motioned for the adjutant to put him on the chair, and at the same time took the water glass and brought it to the mouth of the banquet pool .

Obviously, it is impossible for him to drink water by himself now.

When the banquet pool touched the cold glass of water, he immediately jumped up and raised his hands to grab the glass and pour it into his mouth.His hands were still trembling uncontrollably, and it was probably because of Alwitt's correction that they didn't pour into his neck.Yanchi, who was unaware of the scene in front of him, drank a glass of water with a bang, and then took a long breath. He raised his hand to wipe his mouth, sighed like a drowning person, and recovered.

He was weak all over, and he was taken aback when he noticed Elwitt's existence, but he wanted to stand up or say hello, but he couldn't, he could only feel the awkward cramping in his calf.

The adjutant saw that he didn't need much care anymore, and knew that this part was actually not over yet, so he nodded to Alvita, and went out lightly.The banquet pool actually exhausted a lot of energy today, and the robot butler is preparing dinner, so someone should tell him to eat more.

Yanchi was wet and sticky all over, and he could smell sweat, but fortunately, his body odor was not heavy. The mirror can probably be called refreshing, but he really can’t move, so he can only hypnotize himself. Anyway, Elwitt has never seen anything, and he has never lost anyone. Don’t worry about it, it’s actually quite effective.

Not knowing what Erwitt was doing standing here, Yanchi watched blankly as he sat down across from him, the heat dissipated from his body, shivering, and looked at Erwitt warily.

Sure enough, he said, "Tell me."

Yanchi is not so sensitive and quick for the time being: "What?"

Alwitt didn't mind repeating: "Tell me about your experience."

Yan Chi instinctively raised his hand to protect his chest, only to realize that somehow the buttons on his chest were undone. It may be that he struggled too much in the cabin and was not restrained by a belt, so his appearance became more and more disheveled.He wanted to button it up. After all, the appearance of sweat-wet chest muscles was not to mention wretched, but at least it violated the dress code and was unkempt.

Seeing this, Alwitt showed his empathy: "There is a shower room here, you can take a shower first."

The banquet pool didn’t experience anything wrong, so he stood up obediently, and went to the direction pointed by Elwit with his feet softly. A door popped up on the wall, and he went in. Then he realized that it was like all showers. , after he entered, the door turned into a frosted texture. Although you can't see anything from the outside, you can tell the people outside who want to use it that there are people inside.

The problem is that now the people outside know that there is someone inside, and who they are, and that he is taking a shower.

Yanchi was so tired that he didn't even have much strength to collapse. He just stared at the door for a moment, then weakly pressed the water button, ready to take a quick battle shower.

After all, it wasn't the first time he had taken a shower under Erwitte's orders.

After taking a shower, Yanchi froze when he was about to go out.

He didn't bring a change of clothes.

Of course, the clothes thrown away under the feet can't be worn anymore, not only dirty but also wet by water, but it is absolutely impossible to sneak back and change clothes quickly.

Looking at the crumpled wet clothes, Yan Chi frowns and hesitates in silence, doing some psychological comfort for a long time, thinking that Alwitt probably won't be able to find anything unusual, so he can only shout loudly: "Alwitt!"

Surprisingly, this door is not very soundproof, and Alwitt's voice is close at hand: "Huh? What's the matter?"

Yan Chi really felt that this sentence was hard to say, but he still held his hands and said bravely: "I didn't bring a change of clothes, can you help me...bring me two?"

From the point of view of Yanchi, who considers himself mature, self-reliant and smart, even though he has experienced many bad moments, this scene is definitely in the top five of his most embarrassing list, and I am afraid it will still be on the list of his life.

But Erwitt seemed much calmer, and directly ordered him: "Open the door."

Yanchi was at a loss, but he was used to it, and he opened the door obediently, holding his hand. He didn't know why he faced Erwitt in such a contorted and shy posture, but thinking about it, few people could still stand in front of Erwitt. Let's be frank.

Elwitt didn't seem very surprised, he even held Yanchi's clothes in his hand, it seemed that he had guessed the predicament Yanchi was about to face now.

Moreover, Yan Chi glanced at him, and couldn't help noticing that he put his underwear on top.

...Fortunately, it's just a pair of pure white, safe, safe, and not childish or middle-aged underwear at all, otherwise this scene would have topped his most embarrassing list.

Yanchi tried his best to take the clothes calmly, but couldn't hold on any longer. He didn't even have the face to say thank you when the door was closed.

Alwitt was still waiting for him.

After the stimulation of the scene just now, and the relaxation of taking a bath, Yanchi has actually recovered a lot, but Alwitt obviously will not let him let him stop talking about those dreams, Yanchi guessed that he could not escape , shuffled and sat down obediently in front of Alwitt, and asked in a muffled voice: "Why do you want to know what I saw?"

He knew that Erwitt's interest in other people was very limited, so it was obviously not personal curiosity that made him ask this question, and it was necessary for him to talk about more possibilities.but why?Yanchi always believes that if he has more sense of participation, he will feel much safer and more comfortable.

Generally speaking, Alwitt will not fail to explain to him in these places, perhaps because he knows that the cooperation of the banquet pool is difficult to pry out, so he did not pause and explained directly: "Facing fear is not only about knowing what your fear is. , but also to allow you to understand it and overcome it. Don’t understand that this kind of victory is a kind of strength, but in fact it is often a kind of reconciliation and integration with each other. Of course, for you who are new to the sleep cabin and this kind of training, you can Speaking out is a victory."

Very rarely, after Alwitt explained, he used a question: "Do you understand?"

Yan Chi nodded subconsciously: "Understood."

He De He Neng San Sheng was fortunate enough to be asked by Elwitt, and he instinctively felt that it would be too much to say that he didn't understand. He simply failed his good intentions and rare patience, and even asked about the progress!Truly flattered.

After nodding, he had time to think carefully about whether he understood or not, and then he realized that Elwitt wanted to listen anyway, and he seemed unable to escape.Now jumping up and rushing to the door, he is sure that within five seconds he will be knocked down by the little grabbing hand, so he can't try, and can only obediently tell the dream.

This is really a bit difficult.

It wasn't that Yan Chi was avoiding medical treatment, or couldn't let go, he felt that the horror of the stream of consciousness was really difficult to describe clearly in words, and with the memory, the feeling of fear came back.

Fortunately, Erwitt was not only here at this time, but also turned on the lights. He looked up at Erwitt and relaxed a little, but his voice was slightly hoarse because of his emotional changes: "I don't know what to say."

Alvita nodded to show that he was listening, and did not interrupt him.

Yanchi could only carry on intermittently by himself. His sitting posture was much more relaxed than usual, his back was hunched, he looked at his hands, he clenched his fists nervously and fearfully, and then let them go. It was obvious that he was not shocked yet. In the past, but of course it is best to deal with this kind of thing as soon as possible. If tomorrow, Yanchi may have incomplete memory under the psychological self-protection mechanism, let alone say anything.

Besides, if you have nightmares tonight, the situation may be worse.

Yanchi didn't realize that he sighed again, he recalled aimlessly, and decided to start from the beginning: "I remember... At the beginning, I didn't realize anything, and even forgot that it was a dream .At first, I was on the battlefield, not like this, space combat, not beyond visual range, I didn't pilot a mecha, I was a... I was an ancient soldier, I was going to charge for some reason... and then I saw a lot of slow motion, many people I know, comrades in arms, and you are all there, I saw many people die in slow motion, I... I almost lost my mind, when I rushed to the front, I found I was the only one who survived the hail of bullets. I was really scared, but also very angry. I wanted to avenge my comrades, but the enemy...they were much stronger than me. I should have died. I don’t know why. Conscious, I felt my ribs were all broken, and blood came out of my mouth..."

Yanchi shook his head: "But what I'm most afraid of is not this, but a feeling that we will fail for no reason. At this time, I can't see it, but it appeared in my mind, they... They beheaded you... your eyes are empty..."

Yan Chi prided himself on being a strong fighter, but he still trembled very quickly, and could barely speak a word.
