Chapter 8: Links

Orlando rubbed his eyes and threw various organic ingredients into the food synthesizer while looking at Nataya, who had not moved for a long time. "Sister won't be stupid by bugs, right?" In Orlando's eyes, Nataya had been sitting motionless watching from the time he got up.

"Hey," the girl's back leaned back into the chair, "No... Can't find it at all... Nataya didn't sleep all night, and the infected starport made her realize that it was almost impossible to escape to other starships in the alliance, and only those large and medium-sized starships anchored in the starport could fly that far. But it is not impossible to leave Laupa, this is the mining area, and it is also the largest mining area in the alliance, an asteroid belt full of ore crystals, and Laupa is the gateway and center of the entire asteroid belt mining area.

It's just that I don't know if the asteroid belt is also occupied by these bug-like creatures, if not, it can completely pass through the entire asteroid belt, and leave here from the Kannada mine star on the other side of the asteroid belt, which is a fortress mine star, and its defense ability is much stronger than that of an administrative mine star like Laupa. After retrieving the star sector and the route, Nataya already had a clear goal in her heart, especially after experiencing all the things of yesterday, she had a strong sense of uneasiness, from what she saw during the day yesterday, those insects were alive and well, and they had already settled here, but they might have been dragged down by something or something, and there was basically no life in the settlement, so those insects didn't come to trouble her, maybe she and Orlando were just pets in a cage in their eyes.

If you can't find the big spaceship and escape pod, then it's not difficult to find a small plane that can fit two children and escape along the asteroid belt one stop at a time. This kind of transportation is available in almost every household, after all, the miners don't know where they will be working tomorrow, and the price of such a close-up space shuttle is only the price of a good meal or two.

When everything was thought through, Nataya also realized that the biggest problem at the moment was a serious lack of self-protection, both for bugs and other humans.

Before the arrival of the insects, in the mining area, because of the marginalization of the administrative management and the exile of prisoners, the society here was infinitely close to the primitive animal society, and if you have a big fist, you can marry more wives and occupy more territory. After the bugs take over Laupa, the administrative center of the entire mine is gone, and even the last constraints are gone, how terrible the people there will be... On this issue, Nataya even thinks that the people here should be more terrifying than bugs.

"Must be strong" Nataya didn't sleep all night, and her biggest worry was here, so she jumped up and began to look for any way to become strong quickly.

The quickest thing is the power armor training class, because only when she puts on the power armor, she is not very different from an adult, both in terms of strength and deterrence.

However, it took her two hours to find the training subjects of the Muddy Waters prototype in the database of the institute....

With a "snap", Nataya slapped her hands on the screen display table and stood up. The loud sound of slapping the table startled Orlando, who was just about to grin and cry, found that his sister was not going to be angry at herself, but ran to the golden armored ------- The repair equipment of the research institute had already patched up the terrible hole in the armor's chest, but the scars were still on it.

Nataya remembered that Brother Salami, who had once shown off to her in the orphanage and had passed the armor training course himself, had said that he had completed the mock training in the armor. Before he left the orphanage to join the army, Salami would always buy all kinds of beautiful little things from his odd jobs to give to Nataya, such as a small butterfly hairpin or a small bag of bear biscuits, which is simply a luxury in the orphanage.

"I don't know if Brother Salami is still alive" Nataya is a little sad, the children who went out of the orphanage, because they have no background, most of them can only work in cannon fodder positions in various industries, even if they don't go to the battlefield, they are all working in some high-radiation or extremely harsh environments, and few people can live past the age of forty.

Jumping on the armor, the little girl made a "login" sound, a blue light swept over, and the familiar electronic voice came out, "Login successful, auxiliary system activated" The auxiliary menu clearly appeared on the holographic glass of the helmet.

"Training subject" Nataya's order was quickly executed, and the electronic voice replied "The training subject has entered, please choose" Looking at the selection menu that appeared, the little girl was dumbfounded.

Training Subject 1: Composition Principles of Basic Energy Excitation System

Training subject 2: Composition principle of basic high-explosive excitation system

Training Module 3: Substance Reaction Formulas for High-Speed and Ultra-High-Speed Chemical Reactions

Training Subject 4: Electromagnetic Interference Phase Topology of Delayed Fuze

Training Subject 5........

Nataya scratched her head and asked a little speechlessly, "This is... Combat training subjects? "Yes" The auxiliary system replied calmly, as if he didn't feel Nataya's latent anger in the question, just as the latent flame was about to erupt, the consonant voice spoke again, "Other materials are not commonly used and are not stored in the local information database, you can download and use them after connecting to the star network"

Hearing this, Nataya was finally able to hold back her heart not to dismantle the armor, "Then, let's connect and download" After the command was given, the auxiliary system replied, "The research institute is currently unable to log in to the star network system, the space node is blocked or damaged, the signal is extremely weak, and a good signal source needs to be found."

"Where are the good sources?"

"If the space relay node is damaged or blocked, then the only way to get close to other administrative and central stars is to activate the spiritual reinforcement system"

Nataya has made up her mind to dismantle this armor tonight, and then find a way to exchange the control core with normal armor with the maintenance machine, so that you can have a normal armor.

"The spirit enhancement system can only be used by muddy water armor, and the pro-spirit ability of the high-density ore rock crystal is extremely powerful." This addition to the auxiliary system made Nataya start to wonder if this guy could read minds.

"Okay, then activate the spiritual enhancement" Dead horse is a live horse doctor, Laupa's communication has indeed been stagnant for a long time, information is the most important thing at any time, if you can connect to the star network, then many problems can be solved.

The "please confirm" consonant accentuates once. "Confirm" the little girl is a little impatient, this assistance system is so verbose... Just as she was confirming the two words, a small square with a few shallow needles came out of the back of the armor's neck, and then plunged into the little girl's neck, where the spine and head met.

"It may be a little painful to install the brainwave synchronizer for the first time, okay, the installation is complete, the brainwave frequency is detected to meet the startup requirements, and the brainwave density level is identified as: MAX+"

Nataya was tossed a lot, she felt more and more that this auxiliary system had long been AI, but the only thing that could be AI could be the astral mastermind, how could such an armor be...

Before she could react, she suddenly felt a shift in front of her, and then the whole person seemed to be standing in a huge canopy, and there were countless bright spots flashing on the canopy, some in clusters, some in loose ones.

"The red light represents our location, the other highlights represent the connectable target, and the range of the star network you can connect to is currently 100%"

"It's that simple ... Well, where is the most material for the Muddy Waters armor training course?"

"Please wait... Once you've searched it, please connect to the Kru Star" An indicator box appeared in the middle of the entire canopy, where there were two large bright spots, the brightest part of the entire canopy.

"Connection" With Nataya's command, a huge amount of information began to flow into the database of the Muddy Water Prototype, and a bright and dark line connected the red point of light with the white point of light.

"Reported that the Federal Central Armaments Database received a download request from a non-digital channel, which should have been identified as a brainwave frequency that did not appear in the Federal Database"

"Oh? The Federation has given birth to another spiritual power master so soon? That's great! What was downloaded and where was it downloaded? ”

Non-digital channels for downloading, which means that mechanical and electronic terminals are not used, in the Federation, there are very few people who can connect directly to the database through psychic power. Every exchange of data that takes place on such a channel is top secret to the federal Central Intelligence Service.

A young man with the rank of Major General of the Federation raised his head from his desk and asked happily while rubbing his bloodshot eyes.

"Reply to sir... I just thought it was strange, so I came to report it, so you can see for yourself."

After the holographic tactical board was handed over, the young major general glanced at it and smiled helplessly, "Forget it, I guess it must be the ghosts of those boys from the Super Spiritual Power Academy, they like to come and make trouble for us when they have nothing to do, do you believe this data?" If you add up the spirit amplifiers of the whole federation and tie up all the spirit masters, you won't be able to link the data at such a long distance, let alone download the data stably. Besides, it really took so much effort to download such a miscellaneous data, isn't this a game for you, maybe they will hide outside our intelligence department, with a brainwave amplifier to hack your mastermind, and then they will call us pig brains! ”

The young major general handed back the holographic tactical board, "Just do the routine filing, don't look for who did it, you can't find it with your guns, and even if you find it, those boys will definitely be excited to give you an updated problem, just make a filing archive"

"Yes, sir!" After saluting, the information officer of the major general's office turned to leave, and walked out of the office, he picked up the board again and shook his head helplessly. "These mental power hackers are becoming more and more unprofessional, so let's make up the age a little more realistic......."

The information on the board is eye-catching:
