Chapter 1: 23 Brothers
Looking at the Komia star field from the sky, the scene is not only spectacular, but also dramatic. ??? August 1 Chinese (8) ??.? 8 (1) 1 Z ( 8) ( ) .? C?O(8)M?A huge lifeless planet surrounded by 436 brilliant moons, like an aging mother, accompanied by countless young children. This is the famous favela of the Federation, the Comia Satellite Group.
Although the star is at a moderate distance from its star, it has a good temperature range. But there is neither water nor atmosphere on it, and it cannot give birth to life. At the same time, due to the huge volume and mass, the surface gravity is 2.7 times that of the Earth, which is difficult to open, and it can be said that there is almost no use value.
But 42 of these 436 satellites have similar natural conditions for Earth stars, and they have belonged to the Federation for nearly 200 years.
The reason why this is the most famous slum is because of these satellites, and their natural conditions are really poor. Think of the size of the planet, so much so that each moon spends at least half of its orbital period covered in the shadow of the planet, without access to sunlight.
This peculiar natural environment not only brings more than ten consecutive days of day and polar night, but also brings extreme temperature differences. In the past 30 or 50 days, a small satellite has to repeat itself in spring and autumn, which is a great challenge for agriculture and animal husbandry. Coupled with the small size of each satellite, so much so that frequent interstellar travel between planets is required for trade cooperation, it is no wonder that there is poverty and chaos.
No one knew that the Apocalypse Concentration Camp, known for its mecha technology and brutal human experiments, would be hiding in such a place, under the cover of those slum-like social environments, directly plunging directly into the worthless planet of Komia. The two spaceships, like pirate ships, traveled back and forth between the dozens of colonies of the satellite group, bringing endless hope to the interest groups behind them, while destroying the order of survival in the slums and wiping out the lives of each other.

......
Underground of Comia, inside the Apocalypse Concentration Camp.
A group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys entered the bathroom in an impeccable line. There is no liveliness, sunshine or smiling faces on their faces, and everyone is expressionless. Combined with the hard and thick anti-gravity suit on his body, it looks like a soulless puppet, complementing this lifeless planet.
"Prepare for the bath!"
Following the command of the warden, Ms. Hilda, they took off the virtual photon magnetic anti-gravity suits in a uniform posture and sequence, and in an instant, the load on their bones increased by 2.7 times, and they pressed their bodies.
"The bath begins!"
Everyone turned on the shower head at the same time, and under 2.7 times the gravity, the water droplets clicked on their backs, and the touch of free fall was powerful and gentle, relieving the pressure of death.
The whole process was uniform, there was not a single whisper or sound unrelated to the bath, and there was a terrible silence for both the boys and the warden.
Today's warden was the boys' most disgusted Ms. Hilda, and while she blew the filth clogged in her hooked nose, she stared at the wooden door of a cubicle in the bathroom with her little eyes, and in her concentration she gave the illusion of longing.
"What the fuck human rights, what are a bunch of dying human test samples doing with the door? Hidden dangers, this is a hidden danger! ......" This is the umpteenth complaint of this forty-something old virgin.
......
......
The third observation group used for human experimentation originally consisted of 4o boys, but at this time there were only 23 left in the bathroom, and 17 had died intermittently in the past year and nine months.
These boys come from different planets and different environments, and although their memories have been erased, each of them has an independent temper and personality. It's just that in the midst of fear and crisis, human beings, like all social creatures, are naturally more inclined to unite and "huddle together for warmth".
So the threat of death, the pain of being erased from memory, and the cruel human experiments, combined with the three, it took a year and nine months to slowly grind these 23 boys with different personalities into 23 brothers in life and death.
Looking at the shiny metal components implanted in the backs of these little ones, the bitter children on the satellite swarm will even drool with envy. The cost of implanting the "Neuronal Mechatolink" used to operate the Light Mecha must have been astronomical for them. These little guys in front of me are the lucky ones who have the potential to become mechs.
But if you look closely, these interfaces are different, they have a miniature "light engine" on the connector, which can be embedded with a special small "light crystal", of course, the engine is empty at this time, and the people of the concentration camp will not leave such important things on the boys.
The entire Federation knows that the "Light Engine" is one of the core powertrains of the mecha, which is used to release various alien energy bodies such as ice, fire, electricity, light, and so on. But why did this thing run onto the flesh and blood of humans? Is it the black technology of the apocalypse again?
With the sound of a roaring shower, the hot water rises in the cold bathroom with warm and dense moisture.
Those doubts were meaningless to the boys, who were threatened with pain and death. There's an inexplicably tense atmosphere brewing in the bathroom, and the boys are planning a big event!
A very faint, but painful, sound of vomiting sounded in the compartment on the far right side of the bathroom, a very small sound, evidently the result of an effort to restrain itself, and was insignificant under the sound of the shower. Immediately afterward, 22 "photocrystals" were pushed through the space under the partition to the bathroom on the left.
The boy in the shower was taken aback at first, then carefully took it, picked out his own one with a trembling hand, and passed the rest to the next boy through the space under the partition.
What remained in him was not only this crystal, but also a deep sorrow, and after the sorrow, his face showed a look of relief. He whispered, "Has this day finally come......
The boy who got the crystals didn't dare to put them directly into the engine before stepping out of the bathroom, which was too risky and would likely be discovered by the warden. So they each began to figure out a way. Someone holds the crystal in their mouth, someone hides it in their shoes, and even some of the more cautious ones will shove it into some filthy place beneath them.
But none of them put crystals in their clothes or pants, because they didn't have a single pocket in their prison uniforms. God knows how the kid in the bathroom on the far right stole so many crystals and how he brought them into the bathroom.
In this way, the crystallization relay race reached the finish line, and the last "light crystal" was placed firmly under the partition of the last bathroom.
For the purpose of facilitating experimentation, the age of the concentration camp determined the number of the boys, and Tang Yun in this bathroom was the youngest of all the boys, just 14 years old this year. While enjoying the shower under 2.7 times gravity, he struggled to tie up his horse steps in high gravity, slowly pushed forward with his palms with both hands, and began to practice stitching and inserting.
The two outstretched arms were red, swollen and densely bruised, and although he himself was indifferently striding his horse, these scars shocked the viewer.
He had studied ancient martial arts, and his physique was better than that of ordinary teenagers, so he was assigned the only melee crystallization by the laboratory, [Iron Body]. As the name suggests, this is a photocrystallization that metalizes limbs and has a strong ability to resist blows.
Today's experiment was a confrontational experiment, in which the boys had to compete with their own lives against aggressive targets. At the critical moment, Tang Yun used his [Iron Body] to block the fatal blow for his two companions, and there were two more scars on his arms as a result.
Looking at the scabbed wound, Tang Yun still felt a little emotional, because at that time, these were two heavy injuries that could be seen with the naked eye. Under the powerful therapeutic effect of trauma spray, the wound can be controlled to this extent in 3 hours.
This is the countless times Tang Yun has sacrificed his life to save the brothers around him, a year and nine months ago, none of the big brothers who only took care of Tang Yun as a child would have thought that it was this ordinary-looking, cowardly little guy who loved to cry, and he used his flesh and blood to block those deadly attacks for himself again and again, and he was so stubborn, simple, and unscrupulous!
