(I only found out about the ban when the editor called. I remember that the date is … tomorrow. I'm so busy that I'm speechless. I have to go out at this time. I'll still squeeze in time to write another chapter at night, but it'll be very, very late. PS: Before I received Brother Changtian's call, I received 72's text. I was wondering if this pervert was sending a group message to harass me again when I realized it was something else. I would like to recommend a book called Virtual Warrior. The book number is 1116784 … I just saw the message that he pushed over my head … This recommendation is related to Seventy-two, but not only because of the message, because I have been reading this book, and I am sure this book is very good … Speaking of which, when I saw the Virtual Warrior, was it Lin Hai or Seventy-two who pushed it? Haha, it's back to square one.
I'm tired. I almost missed my big day of being banned just like that. Thank you everyone for your understanding. From tomorrow onwards, I'll be back to normal. I'm almost done with my work. It's a pity that I missed my ban. Why does my heart hurt so much?)

According to Feng Yu's theory, the human body was the first machine. Whether it was a mecha or a battleship, they were all just extensions of the human body. Those cold metal components, complicated circuitry chips, and terrifying firepower had to listen to the orders of the human body and obey the orders of the human body.
Just like driving a car, no matter how fast the car was, the driver's hands still determined the direction of the car.
If one explored this direction, they would find a very important link. How did the human brain's activities and commands be transmitted to various machines? The Human Alliance had been developing for many years. From the earliest days of manual control, to the input of data command programs, to the research of human simulators that had been abandoned halfway through … This was a very important aspect, but there had never been a revolutionary change.
On the battlefield between the Federation and the Empire, in the mecha that climbed the mountains, and in the giant battleships in the darkness of space, humans were still using these methods to convert their will into powerful energy through cold metal.
Take the M-series mecha, which represented the Federation's engineering standards, as an example. They had always used a touch screen to operate the mecha. The mecha's operation mainly tested the pilot's judgment ability and the input speed of the program. After the M-series mecha entered the fifth generation, an additional auxiliary control lever was added to the lower left hand of the control cabin.
The scientists of the Federation had once tried to use sensitive data-gathering microprocessors to cover the entire body of a pilot, directly capturing the minute movements of every inch of the pilot's skin. Then, the signals would be transmitted to the central control computer of the mecha for processing, finally transforming into the corresponding movements of the mecha. This was a simulation artifact that had become an antique.
The plan for the simulator was aborted because after a long period of experimentation, the experts found a few problems that could never be solved.
The first was the difficulty of data collection. The structure of the human body seemed simple, but in fact, it was more complicated than the most complicated machine. The corresponding changes in every human movement contained too much data. The degree of contraction of the double muscle fibers, the direction of the movement, blood pressure, and even the changes in the surface tension of the skin … These subtle changes had to be completely identified by the data acquisition microprocessor and successfully converted into the corresponding movement. Even with the help of the powerful computing power of the central control computer, the accuracy rate was always around 70%. On the fierce battlefield, the most important thing for mecha was accuracy and speed. If they could only guarantee this level of accuracy, then they were basically useless.
The second problem of using the simulator occurred after the experimental simulator had been put into use. At that time, the pilots in charge of the experiment were all ace pilots of the military. Their movements were extremely precise, without the slightest bit of redundancy. They could control the trembling of their every muscle valiantly, thus increasing the accuracy rate of the mecha controlled by the simulator to more than 95%!
But when they actually entered the actual combat practice, in less than ten minutes, all the ace pilots had fainted from exhaustion. After that, they found that using the simulator to control the mecha required, on one hand, to ensure the accuracy and precision of the movements, on the other hand, to continuously perform the movements, which was really too taxing on the human body. Once these pilots entered the mecha and wanted the mecha to completely simulate their movements, they had to ensure that every inch of their skin and every muscle in their body was in a state of constant movement at all times.
Before the experiment, the researchers had never paid attention to this problem because everyone had fallen into a misconception. They thought that the ace pilots of the military could endure extremely terrifying training, so naturally, this kind of taxing was nothing to them. However, the results of the experiment proved that if a pilot was asked to run ten kilometers without a problem, but if he was asked to sit in a chair and constantly tighten his leg muscles, relax them, and tighten them again without actually running, after repeating this dozens of times, the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle fibers would reach a very frightening level.
This kind of load was not something that a normal person could bear.
Before the simulator project was aborted, in fact, the military had secretly tried a more advanced control method, which was to capture the pilot's brainwaves and then analyze them through a computer to directly control the mecha.
Unfortunately, this seemingly feasible plan failed miserably in the end. This was because the scholars discovered that they had once again underestimated the complexity of the human body, especially the complexity of the brain. The brainwave signals released by the human brain were too chaotic, and the effective information fragments could only account for 1% of the signal at most.
If they wanted to successfully capture the effective information in the brainwaves, they would need a more powerful brainwave filter. However … after paying the price of more than ten pilots' deaths or idiocy, there was no possibility of continuing this plan.

Xu Le silently stared at the continuous feedback of the data on the monitor screen. From time to time, he would jot down some key values on a piece of white paper beside him. A few hours had passed silently, and he had also been observing the state of transmission of the simulated bioelectric current in the B-section material for a few hours.
While waiting for the data to come back, he would think of some things. In the Husk Institute's internal forum, he had once seen a post in the gossip section. The post said in a mysterious tone that the reason why the use of brainwaves to directly control mecha had failed was because the Bureau of Proclamation was unwilling to release the chip technology. At the end of the post, the author, who was obviously a high-ranking researcher of the Federation, lamented that within a few thousand years, there would be no other way for humans to use machines. They could only use the extremely unaesthetic manual operation …
While reading the post, Xu Le remained silent. This was because he had once seen a very strange method of control, one that did not belong to any currently known method.
That was one and a half years ago in the suburbs of Hexi Region. He had been hiding in a large tree and had seen with his own eyes Uncle Feng Yu, standing outside the mecha, but with those 10 trembling fingers, he had successfully seized control of the M52 mecha from the central control computer of the mecha …
That scene had always been in his mind, never fading away. Afterwards, when he carefully recalled that scene, Xu Le's attention remained on those trembling fingers. This was because within his own body, there was also this kind of trembling, surging, gushing power.
Xu Le needed to consider the existence of such a massive existence as a battleship. However, he had always been thinking — could it be that one day, he could also be like Uncle Feng Yu, transferring that surge of power within his body into the cold metallic electrical elements? Like a stream of data … successfully controlling those unconscious component weapons?
This was an extremely daring, even preposterous idea. The human body was made of flesh and blood — how could it possibly produce a stream of data that machines could identify? However, Xu Le was increasingly convinced of this possibility, especially after he had fainted. The mysterious power within his body had already merged with his body, and his life had once again taken a fork in the road …
Uncle Feng Yu had once done it, and Xu Le was currently researching and exploring it. If he could also succeed, this would definitely be a fundamental change in the way humans controlled machines.
…
…
The temperature in the laboratory was extremely suitable, and the temperature and humidity in the dustless operation room were maintained at an extremely strict level. Xu Le had been fully focused on his experiments for several hours, but there was still not a single drop of sweat on his forehead.
The results of the experiments were not out of Xu Le's expectations. The transmission of the simulated biological current within the wires was not too different from normal current. However, because the current itself was too weak, the loss rate appeared to be too high. Meanwhile, the B-type material wire was already the material with the lowest loss rate that could be found in the database.
The problem before him was that the situation Xu Le had envisioned — using the micro-current of the human body to control a mecha, or rather to control the chip set of a mecha — did not seem to have the slightest chance of success from these experiments. The weak current generated by the simulated current generator was already extremely similar to the spontaneous biological current of the human body. There should not be a problem with these materials, but the data collector at the end of the wire was unusually cold and firm in its summary: the electron stream did not produce any strange changes. In other words, it could not carry any data.
Xu Le had never hoped that he would be able to solve his biggest question in just one day's time and allow the mysterious power within his body to obtain the greatest benefits. He had even mentally prepared himself that perhaps he would never be able to come into contact with that magical world in this lifetime.
Using the human body to directly control a mecha seemed to be a very simple proposition, but it was an extremely crazy idea. Xu Le would not be discouraged by this temporary setback at all. In fact, he did not even see these experiment results as a setback at all.
Xu Le took off his goggles. His eyes that were exposed outside the mask were slightly tired. He opened the transparent door of the operation room, walked in front of the holographic screen table, and began to quickly browse through the data in the database again. Then, he fell into deep thought as he looked at a piece of historical data.
Those previous experiments were just an attempt to confirm the doubts in his heart. Although he had failed, it made him even more determined to temporarily give up that crazy idea and switch to the idea of researching the antique simulation system, especially after seeing the research report on the flaws of the simulation system.
He could not use the trembling in his body — for now, he would temporarily treat it as bioelectricity — to control a mecha. However, with his powerful mysterious power, he seemed to be able to use the simulation system that the Federation's scientists and military experts had already sentenced to death to directly control a mecha!
In those mecha tests in Area H1, when he had fought against Zhou Yu's silver mecha, although Xu Le had only used the antique simulation system in that final instant and had only been able to make a move for less than half a second, he... had still succeeded.
Unlike those ace mecha pilots who had conducted the experiments back then, when Xu Le used the simulation system, the commands transmitted were transmitted through the trembling power within his body. The fine control of that power was far beyond the precision of human control over their own muscles. Furthermore, Xu Le would not be like those predecessors who had collapsed from exhaustion due to exhaustion.
This was because he used his mind to mobilize that mysterious power, not his nerves. Other than the fact that his stomach would become extremely hungry after using this power, there were no other problems.
The fewer links there were to transmit commands between the human body and the mecha, the less exhaustion there would be, and the faster the mecha would be able to carry out the human's intentions. Xu Le, who could use the simulation system, undoubtedly had the potential to surpass the current level of machine control in the Federation and the Empire.
