If the top shell of the mothership Hope is compared to a turtle shell the size of a palm, then the advance ship, which is as large as a thumb fingernail, is still in the final stages of construction. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At the same time, the linkage machine, which was developed under the leadership of Takami, also ushered in its first operational test during this time.

In the mecha maintenance workshop, Ping An and Aoba, who had finished the day's training early according to the orders of their superiors, followed the instructions received on the ID, passed through the dozens of busy maintenance officers around them, and the machines that were running according to the operation of the maintenance personnel with a clanging sound, and came to the designated place sent to them by Takami.

"I told you not long ago that the main mecha and various mounted or portable weapons of the linkage machine are in fact similar to the Hornet you are using now, and there is no breakthrough transformation in performance. What can really make the linkage machine exert its power is actually its control cabin. Therefore, what we are testing today is the most basic and important component of the linkage - the control cabin. ”

Isolated from the open space with a cleaning tank, a bridge crane, an overhaul operation console, and a mecha test area, the area is not large, but there are a variety of equipment and tool cabinets in the room, and behind him there are two interacting test chambers placed directly on the ground like a hypothetical simulation training pod, and he is giving the necessary basic explanations to Ping An and Aoba.

"With the cockpit running normally, it is not difficult to smoothly fit it into the mecha of the linkage machine and ensure that it can flexibly control the entire mecha. And if the control cabin can't run smoothly according to my predetermined vision, then the linkage of the five senses and the sharing of consciousness will obviously still be my idea. ”

"Now, as you can see, the two test chambers behind me can be used through the console over there for emergency control in case of crisis. Dr. Shu Lang, who has been monitoring both of your vital signs and brain wave images during your testing, can stop your linkage at any time by pressing the emergency stop button on the console. So, you can rest assured that even if the test doesn't happen the first time, you're not in any danger. ”

After listening carefully to the necessary explanations and greeting Shu Lang, who was their health manager, Ping An and Aoba, who were led by Takami, walked to the test chamber, which used transparent materials when installing most of the cabin shells, in order to make it easier for the outside staff to grasp their situation, and soon each walked into the test chamber and sat in the control seat.

Sitting in the control seat,According to the instructions of Takami from the communication device,Turn on the linkage device.,But there's no hurry to connect immediately.,I'm doing some basic manipulation synchronously with Aoba as a "warm-up".,In order to wait for the "brainwave synchronization rate" displayed on the dashboard to slowly stabilize.。

Except for the linkage device, which is very simple to operate, the rest of the components are basically the same as the A186's control cabin, and within a few minutes, they were safely and smoothly figured out. At a glance at the multi-grid histogram, the synchronization rate value that was constantly beating and changing between the light and the extinguishing of the small grid was stabilized at about 95% peace after a while, and then the next step was carried out according to the instructions.

"Request a connection, Aoba." As the initiator of the connection, he immediately got Aoba's "agree to connect" as a reply.,For a while, I just felt like I had turned on a radio that didn't work very well.、Specially received signals from Aoba.。

According to Takami's instructions, she kept thinking in her mind, "I'm going to go to bed early tonight", and at the same time, she paid attention to the noise that sounded in her head, with the "click, click", and the peace that Aoba thought about "I want to eat steak tomorrow morning" according to Takami's instructions, and in the case of poor reception, she could only vaguely hear "tomorrow morning...... Steak ......", such a muffled sound.

Outside the linkage cabin, Shu Lang, who had observed Aoba and Ping An through the transparent test chamber shell, and did not see any uncomfortable or painful expressions on their faces, nodded affirmatively to Takami on his side after confirming that there were no abnormalities in the various values monitored by himself on the console.

"After the five-second countdown, the signal strength will be adjusted, and the five, four, and three ......" After getting Shu Lang's nod, he checked the feedback messages sent by Aoba and Ping An one after another, "You can vaguely receive it, but the signal is not good", stretched out her fingers and pinched the knob, carefully and slowly turned Takami, and began to strengthen the signal strength of the consciousness exchange between Aoba and Ping An little by little.

The murmur of "click" in my head is slowly weakening, and the phrase "I want to eat steak tomorrow morning" is beginning to become clearer and clearer. She felt a new peace of mind in her heart for this wonderful way of exchanging ideas, and before she could fully adapt to Aoba's voice, a loud sound like tinnitus exploded in her mind.

After the shrill whistling died down, the phrase "I'm going to eat steak tomorrow morning" suddenly overshadowed any thoughts that came to her mind as if someone were yelling in her ear. The thought signal transmitted was too strong, so that Ping An only felt sharp pain in his brain for a while.

Involuntarily leaned on the back of the control seat, his eyes blackened in pain, his body trembled violently and spasmed with a completely disobedient peace, until Shu Lang pressed the emergency stop button on the console and rushed forward with the robot medical assistant, and finally got rid of the pain completely after the hemispherical shape of the test cabin door opened upward.

"How? How are you two doing now? ”

Standing in the middle of the two test chambers, from the display screen of the life detection device placed on the table, he picked up two bracelet-shaped detection devices connected with wires, and was busy for a while, and buckled them to Shu Lang on the right wrist of Aoba and Ping An respectively, while letting the assistant stare at the various data information on the display screen and report to him if there was anything abnormal, while anxiously asking Ping An and Aoba questions, in order to grasp the physical condition of both of them as soon as possible.

"My head hurts, probably the same as when a brain tumor patient gets sick!" With a slight sweat on his body, he turned his head weakly, glanced at Aoba who was also sitting on the control seat like her, and knew that his face must be very pale and peaceful like him, and smiled at Shu Lang with little energy, "After all, I haven't had a brain tumor, so I don't know if it really hurts." ”
