The waning moon slowly crept up into the sky of an early autumn night, and the high-end apartment area was quiet under the moonlight, and the night was as ordinary as usual on the surface, and only the most information-sensitive people could smell the tension on the eve of the upheaval.

In one of the close-the-curtain apartments, the conversation between officials and criminals continues.

"You should have some other job than a receptionist, or you wouldn't have been able to send me to the Shield of Purity in the first place. Evan picked up the glass of water on the coffee table and took a sip of boiled water.

"I'm not a high-ranking official, but I can arrange the daily itinerary of the financial officer. Hewei replied with a smile.

"Secretary?"

"Or else?"

"No wonder Dean Russell is giving you three points. Ivan bowed his head lightly and didn't say anything more - the person who held the position of secretary seemed to be of a low rank, but in fact had rights far beyond the official position, because she was the only channel for the official to communicate with the outside world.

“......”

Hewein suddenly fell silent and looked at him expressionlessly.

She didn't speak, and Evan was also surprised by the sudden change in the other party, a little confused. The two looked at each other, and the breath of the living room suddenly became dull, and after a while, she suddenly said:

"Actually, the treasurer is my father, and I am his illegitimate daughter. ”

"Being able to put you in this position shows that he still cares about you. Evan didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, so he chimed in with a lukewarm remark.

"But I don't want to stay in that position, I want to climb higher, and his rights protect me, but they also bind me. Hai Wei gently parted the ends of the hair on her forehead, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, her thin willow eyebrows stretched slightly, smiled softly, and then showed a smile with sorrow:

"Because his son died in foreign conquest, and now it's just me. ”

"He uses his power to hinder your promotion, you want to break free from his shackles, and you can't let go of your biological father, is that what you mean?" Ivan read her smile.

"So, can you help me?" said Hewey, looking at him expectantly.

"As long as Domon can get out of danger, your name will be in the credit book, I promise. Ivan knew that he needed her help now, so he didn't hesitate to promise - anyway, he was an outsider from beginning to end, and it was useless to brush up on his merits, so it was better to exchange them for benefits.

"Then I will try my best to hide your whereabouts. ”

Hai Wei stretched out her thin willow eyebrows, revealing a ray of joy, but in addition to this, she also showed a little bitterness, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "I participated in a big gamble, either I made a lot of money or I had nothing." ”

"You seem to have misunderstood something?"

Evan looked at her expression, and his gaze became sharp as a knife in an instant: "If it weren't for me, you and your father would have fallen under the cleansing of the home planet investigation team!

"So how can I repay you?"

Haiwei looked at him defiantly, and puffed up her chest without a trace - she was wearing a well-tailored black slim uniform today, and inside was a burgundy shirt with three buttons unbuttoned, and a thrilling snow white in the slightly open V-neck. The lower body is a black work dress, the tight fabric perfectly sets off her slender figure, and the fullness and plumpness of her chest bulges a beautiful curve, which makes people's hearts ripple.

"Make me dinner. ”

"What!?" Hewei's eyes widened in surprise, barely believing her ears.

"Need me to repeat that?"

“......”

She stood up expressionlessly, her movements stiff like a robot, and walked into the kitchen step by step.

One by one, one by one

In this way, the two lived a cohabitation life in which Haiwei was busy with housework, and Evan was in the apartment.

Evan lived quite happily, but Hai Weiyin felt very aggrieved, because the other party locked the door all day long, and even had to make dinner by herself, and sent it over respectfully. It was such a treatment that almost made Hevi think she was serving a king - well, it seems that this is exactly what happened.

The most unbearable situation for her is that no matter how crazy she hints, the other party always refuses to take a step beyond Lei Chi. If you push it backwards, you can't beat it, this kind of life can simply suffocate people to death. Of course, Evan knew Hewein's thoughts, but he was so busy adjusting his mechanical body that he really didn't have time to enjoy life with the other party.

Through the battle with Zero, he has gained a lot of experience in the combat of mechanical bodies, so he plans to refer to various mechanical bodies on the Internet to further optimize his combat form. In the process, Evan discovers that the power furnace requires more power than he ever imagined. Most of the energy supply of the power furnace is not consumed to maintain the movement of the body, but to maintain the consciousness of the individual mechanic.

As we all know, amino acids and nucleotides, the basic units of life, are derived from the skeleton change of carbon elements. The main reason why life can evolve gradually is that carbon is highly stable. It can be connected by carbon chain by carbon chain, evolve into proteins and nucleic acids, and then evolve into primitive single cells.

In addition to the basis of stability, there is another decisive factor, which is that carbon-based life is very, very energy-efficient.

There are hundreds of billions of neuronal cells in the human brain, and there are 240 trillion synapses on nerve cells, and only 25 watts of energy are needed to drive the brain to produce all kinds of complex emotions. But for machines, even the simplest neuronal activity that mimics the human brain consumes hundreds of thousands of times more energy.

Therefore, organic life can use a little energy to drive an incomparably complex system, which pure mechanical life can never do.

Because of this, once the mechanic fully enters purely mechanized combat mode, the amount of energy consumed to maintain the 'brain activity' of the individual's consciousness is increased by hundreds of thousands of times - where most of the power furnace's expenses are consumed.

It is worth noting that if in order to save energy and reduce excess 'brain activity' before condensing the soul fire, it is equivalent to actively making one's brain blood supply insufficient! Even if the 'blood supply' is restored after a period of time, irreversible damage will occur, ranging from loss of memory to personality defects.

Therefore, the difference in combat performance between a third-level mechanic and a fourth-level mechanic, even with the same configuration of the mechanical body, can be said to be a world of difference. The former requires a huge amount of energy to maintain 'brain activity', while the latter has gradually moved beyond the concept of 'living beings' and can use energy at full power in combat.
