Sparks flew everywhere, and the alarm lights flashed continuously in the control room. Thankfully, the smoke detector was not activated. Xu Le stared silently at the signal collector beside him which had been destroyed by the electric current, and could not help but shake his head in frustration.
He pulled out those data wires that were stuck to his bare skin, and the low voltage resistance chips left some round marks on the surface of his skin. Right then, Xu Le had a rare moment of self-deprecation — he really did look like a spotted dog.
He went to the operation room and put on a coat. He threw the pieces of wires and instruments that had been shattered into pieces by his own power into the waste disposal chamber. Then, he lowered his head and moved closer to the light screen. He began to carefully observe the data records of the four monitoring devices that he had previously assembled.
Just as he had predicted before the experiment, the signal collector could not completely identify the mysterious power in his body. The data on the monitoring devices showed that there was only about a 20% success rate. And when Xu Le had finally increased the output of the power in his body, that signal collector had already been overloaded, and had been destroyed in a shower of electrical sparks...
In Ewha University's H1 section, during that mecha battle with Zhou Yu, Xu Le had used the mysterious power in his body in the end to operate his mecha directly through the simulation system. That was how he had managed to make that black M-prototype mecha display such incredible power in that instant.
The experiment before his eyes proved that Xu Le could still only use that power to strengthen the movement of his own body, and could not directly use this power to operate the simulation system. How had he done it that day? Xu Le narrowed his eyes, and began to recall his practice in the library's H1 section, as well as that final battle where he had to walk away with his hands on his stomach... gradually, the serious expression in his eyes relaxed, and he gave up on thinking.
A success rate of at least 20% was already high enough. After all, this was his first experiment, and he had not used the real simulation system, just a backup signal collector.
Xu Le knew that if he really wanted to use this never-before-seen method to operate mecha or other mechanical equipment in the future to obtain his own skills in the human Federation society, he would need to improve on two aspects simultaneously. On one hand, he would need to increase his proficiency in using the mysterious power in his body, and more importantly, he would need to understand how the simulation system could identify the power's workings through the trembling of his skin, and then improve on the simulation system.
To truly achieve the unity of man and machine, that was an extremely difficult and distant matter. A temporary setback was nothing. Xu Le tilted his head slightly, looking at the data he had recorded. He thought to himself that right now, he needed a real simulation system to carry out the modifications, or... if he could have a real military mecha, that would be even better.
Mecha control simulation systems had long been abandoned by the experts of the Federation. It had already been several decades since there had been a research project on this topic. However, those simulation systems left in the warehouse were still in good condition, and were sometimes even sold to mecha enthusiasts as part of their collections. Xu Le had once ordered a set of simulation equipment from the Shell Motor Company as a collector, and had personally used it. It could be said that he was one of the very few people in the Federation society who was familiar with simulation systems.
The problem was that research in this area had long been abandoned. If the Federation research department wanted to modify the original system now, they would already be missing a large portion of the engineering support. Furthermore, Xu Le was just one person. Even if he had an admirable talent in the field of machinery, this sort of modification idea still seemed a little far-fetched at the moment, like the ravings of a lunatic.
However, he was confident, because other than the incredibly large database in this laboratory, as well as those Federation's most advanced equipment, there were also countless strange, but clearly very advanced blueprints in his mind... the way he saw it, these blueprints had been left to him by Uncle Feng Yu through the chip on the back of his neck. The powerful mysterious power within his body had also been left to him by Uncle Feng Yu. From very simple logic, he could deduce that there must be some knowledge on how to use this power to control mecha.
Xu Le finished reading the data in silence, and then destroyed it all. This matter involved one of the three great secrets within his body — he did not want the Federation government to link him to Uncle Feng Yu.
Right at this moment, a gentle beep suddenly sounded from the holographic screen outside the operations room. Xu Le was slightly taken aback. He buttoned up the buttons on his military uniform and walked out of the operations room. At this time, those small tools that could block out all electronic surveillance were no longer glowing with blue light, and he had put them away into his pocket.
On the holographic screen was an email sent out by the head of the third division of the research institute. The markings on the email clearly showed that this email had been sent to every independent laboratory in the third division of the research institute, and its confidentiality level was S level.
Xu Le read the contents of the email, and his eyes gradually narrowed. Just like the news he had heard in the cafeteria at noon, this email said that the new mecha recently developed by the Shell Motor Company Engineering Dept. had encountered some kind of problem, and required technical support from the research institute. The higher-ups of the research institute did not impose any rigid requirements on the various laboratories. They only listed a few problems that the engineering department had encountered in the email, and hoped that the researchers in the various laboratories would be able to provide some feasible ideas.
Xu Le quickly finished reading this email and sank into deep thought. After entering the Husk Institute, he had signed a confidentiality agreement, so he was not worried that he would know too much that he should not know. On the contrary, he knew the background of this matter. The Shell Motor Company Engineering Dept. was currently developing a new mecha, temporarily named MX. Last autumn, this mecha had been successfully developed, but after that, during Whitewater Security Company's experimental use of the mecha, they seemed to have encountered some extremely difficult problems …
The Shell Motor Company was a huge company. Other than its deep background in the government and the military, its industry was involved in every corner of the industry related to machinery. Just like the company's slogan, where there was metal, there would be shells.
However, the most cutting-edge engineering research and development was still in the area of battleships and mechas. These highly refined engineering results could often be used for civilian use. However, these various types of machinery that came out of the laboratories and engineering departments, no matter how many times they had been tested under harsh laboratory conditions, had to be put into practical use in the end. Before they were fully formed, there had to be certain departments that specialized in conducting experiments on these new weapons and tools.
The huge Shell Motor Company's various new weapons needed to be tested in actual combat. It was precisely for this purpose that the board of directors of the Shell Motor Company established the Whitewater Security Company, which was directly responsible to the board of directors and the Ministry of National Defense.
The Shell Motor Company did not have the intention of generating profits for the Whitewater Company. For countless years, the latest results of the Shell Motor Company had been put into Whitewater Company's experiments, and in actual combat, they had discovered many problems that were difficult to discover in the laboratory.
Although this security company did not have a high position within the Shell Motor Company, they had the most advanced weapons of the Federation, the technical support of the entire Shell Engineering Department, and the support of the Ministry of National Defense. Of course, the combat power they displayed was also very strong. In today's Federation, the Whitewater Security Company was on par with Black Hawk and Blue Bird. They received non-stop business, and their profits were gradually increasing. This made the Shell Motor Company's board of directors and shareholders who only knew how to collect dividends very happy.
Xu Le's gaze had long since moved away from the email. The latest model of the MX mecha developed by the engineering department had been exposed during an armed operation by the Whitewater Company at the edge of the triangle zone. This had directly led to the failure of this mission, which had angered the Ministry of National Defense and the Shell Motor Company's board of directors.
The engineering department was under great pressure, so during the spring recruitment exam, the engineering department's human resources manager, José, had personally come to the scene to snatch people away. This was mainly to deal with the mecha's research and repair work. Xu Le did not know much about the Whitewater Company, but he knew the predicament the engineering department was in now. He stared at the several block schematics downloaded onto the holographic desktop and narrowed his eyes slightly.
After the experiment just now, he had been thinking that he needed a simulation system and a mecha. He did not expect the opportunity to come knocking on his door. From the email, it could be seen that as long as the laboratory staff of the research institute could come up with a solution, the engineering department would definitely invite that person over, and that person would definitely be able to have the most intimate contact with the mecha.
This was an opportunity, and Xu Le knew that he had to seize it. However, regarding the effects of the turbulent flow of electrons in the engine under conditions of three times gravity … Just looking at the long list of names, he knew that it was extremely tricky. How should he seize this opportunity?
Give me strength, chip. Xu Le opened the schematics, and at the same time, began to quickly search through the strange schematics in his mind. The images of reality and illusion overlapped before his eyes, and then separated. Countless amounts of data and information began to flow rapidly in his mind …
After a long time, the pale-faced Xu Le closed his eyes. He finally found some vague information from the schematics in his mind. It seemed to be related to the problems the Nutshell engineering department had encountered when they were researching and developing the mecha.
The schematics in his mind were not omnipotent. At least, they could not directly solve those problems. However, the meticulous design of those schematics and the genius of the idea had opened countless doors for Xu Le. Comparing and comparing knowledge was the easiest way to find problems with each other. Xu Le opened his eyes. They were calm, and he began to lower his head to re-examine the engine schematics sent over by the engineering department.
There was still a long time before the deadline requested by the Nutshell engineering department. Xu Le was in a hurry. Moreover, the design of the engine was too complicated. He did not have the confidence that he could solve this problem in one go just by relying on the strange schematics in his mind, especially regarding the turbulent flow of electrons.
His expression was extremely serious. He carefully drew on the schematics with his digital pen. He was not too excited, because at this time, he finally confirmed that the schematics in his mind seemed to be … more advanced than the most advanced designs of the Federation … Uncle Feng Yu, how can you be so awesome?
You don't know the passage of time when you're watching a game of chess, and you don't know the passage of time in the mountains. This was to say that when a person was fully focused on something, it was easy for problems to arise. When Xu Le gently rubbed his reddened eyes and woke up from the endless schematics, he realized that his hunger had reached a terrifying level. He suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. He packed up everything in the laboratory and rushed out of the research institute as fast as he could.
Just as he stepped out of the door, he was stunned to see Zou Yu.
