0192 Starlink Agents, New Humans?
"I'm not entirely sure I'm right, I don't have enough information, I just think it's too dangerous to bet on one route."
Xia Ming said to Anson, who was about to go to the Younas Command as a liaison officer, "Therefore, your main job there is not to advocate our opinions, but to understand their true and unmistakable thoughts, so that you can fully cooperate with their actions." ”
"Yes, boss!" Anson saluted, and then said cautiously: "But if I only have the rank of colonel, it is difficult to squeeze into the general pile to talk about things, can you ...... A little up? Commodore will do! ”
Xia Ming glared at him: "There are only a few dozen people in the Star Alliance Special Service, plus the batch that is coming soon, there is not even a battalion, don't you feel ashamed to go over in the name of a general?" ”
Seeing Anson leave, Xia Ming suppressed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and he finally gave up his claim to Younas's command, which made it impossible for him to control the entire battle situation with his own hands.
Based on concerns about the war concept of the command, Xia Ming decided to do his best to be an assist. Moreover, if there is a big leak, the line you adhere to may have a chance to turn the tide.
After calming down, Xia Ming greeted God Chat: "Xiaotang, Xiao Huan, follow me to talk to Professor Xu!" ”
Professor Xu was also sent to the Star Gate, and Xia Ming felt that his mind control in the environment of the Star Gate was much stronger, and he might be able to wake up Professor Xu.
The result was quite smooth, although Professor Xu's autonomous consciousness had not yet recovered, some fragments of consciousness had been condensed, and the knowledge and insights contained in them allowed Xia Ming to have a further understanding of autonomous consciousness, and even clearly felt the growth of consciousness activity.
The re-understanding and control of the self through the human neural model is on the one hand, the self-examination of the mind, and even philosophical speculation on the other hand, Xia Ming feels more and more that the activity of consciousness is like the cultivation of the soul of an individual, which is omnipresent.
took Xiaotang and Xiaohuan to chat with Professor Xu every day, which also helped them improve their consciousness activity. Xia Ming also extracted some fragments and put them into the GEI for training special services, and turned them into courseware for training tutorials.
Younas is expanding rapidly, and the armed forces of the Star Alliance, the Star Alliance Special Service, are also growing.
In February 2023, which was originally the Spring Festival of China, eighty selected Starlink agents arrived at the Zhishen Star Base on Starlink's own spaceship. Compared with the officers and soldiers of Younas, who were constantly transported here, their team of white clothes was as small as the waves in the sea.
The moment the light film penetrated, everyone had a strange feeling, as if the body, as well as the brain, were originally wrapped in a membrane, and after entering this area full of soft white light, this membrane was removed, and the whole person became refreshing and clear.
"It is said that this is the body of the Star Gate", An Daoyuan stepped on the floor curiously.
"Please don't desecrate the Star Gate, An Jun, she is alive", although he was wearing the same uniform and his skin color was the same, as soon as the young man next to him spoke, his origin was revealed.
"It's blasphemy if you don't look at the floor, right?"
An Daoyuan said poorly, and then squinted at the Japanese young man: "Xia Qianyi's surname is Xia, your surname is Natsume, don't climb relatives, Natsume Guizi ......"
"My name is Natsume Shiki!" The Japanese youth emphasized in somewhat stiff Chinese: "Please respect ......"
"Anla, Anla, respect, respect", An Daoyuan still wanted to go down with Natsume, but was glared at by Wu Kang and others, so he had to wave his hand lazily.
Under the guidance of the guide, the rookie agents ascended from the conveyor belt to a high platform.
Overlooking below, there are two large conveyor belts, one in and one out, constantly carrying people and goods. Behind the high platform, there is a bridge-like Star Alliance station.
"Whole-team-!"
A pretty short-haired female officer appeared, and the captains of each team hurriedly shouted at the top of their voices.
The uniforms of the female officers are the same as theirs, with a pure white background and tight in-cabin spacesuits with red threads embedded in the torso and joints. The outer layer is a new imitation leather nanomaterial, and the inner layer is monocrystalline graphene and aerogel, which is about the same thickness as a leather jacket, which can not only shield a certain degree of cosmic rays, but also maintain the temperature of the human body in a vacuum environment, and the heat dissipation system can also ensure the comfort of the human body.
In the wide, thick belt is the power supply and control system, and in the erected collar there is a folded flexible helmet. In the event of an accident, the uniform is able to ensure that the person survives in a vacuum. How long you live depends only on the oxygen and water you bring with you.
The uniforms are both male and female, with a thickened bust on the upper body and "underwear worn outside" on the lower body, and when female officers appear, both men and women try not to put their eyes where they should not be, and the waves formed by the high altitude up and down are too obvious.
"Silence!"
Wu Kang yelled angrily in the PEI channel, and at the same time emptied the chat history, and then stepped on to salute the female officer: "Starlink Special Service Academy's 2022 Class 08 Team Report!" ”
The female officer returned the salute, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and Wu Kang's PEI received her message: "It's a miracle that none of your five stars have fallen." ”
"How dare you fall? I'm still waiting for Sister Yu to lead us to fight to save mankind", Wu Kang maintained a serious expression on his face, but sent a smile in the private chat.
"Don't pat yourself on the back, Sister Yu, I'm killing people now without blinking", the female officer glared at him secretly.
After greeting the squads, she nodded and said, "Take a break!" ”
With a bang, eighty people are exactly the same as the instep of the feet, it seems that the training in Antania is still in place.
"Soldiers, welcome to the Stargate! I am Major Su Yu of the Starlink Special Service, and from today onwards, I will serve as your counselor and take you through the final training. ”
"Before joining Starlink Mission, you were all college students, and you were all successful in your studies. If it's just for the salary, there are a lot of opportunities waiting for you on Earth, but you still choose Starlink Special Service, tell me, why? ”
Eighty people shouted in unison: "Fight for humanity!" ”
"That's right, fighting for humanity, so you have chosen the path of a soldier", Su Yu continued to ask, "But...... The human race has established Younas, and Younas is the army that nominally represents the entire human race, what is our Star Alliance Special Service? Private soldiers? Mercenary? Or the corporate army? ”
"It's not!" Natsume Zigui stood up and said impassionedly in Japanese-accented Chinese: "The Space Council represents the common will of mankind, and it is also mixed with the impurities of countries, nations, and various consciousness-forms. Starlink represents the most intelligent, scientific spirit, sincere and selfless human beings! Younas and the Starlink Special Service are both fighting for the human race, but Younas is only to defend the human race, and the Starlink Special Service is to liberate the human race! ”
Su Yu froze slightly, but immediately calmed down: "Well said!" We must defend not only the material world of mankind, but also the spiritual world of mankind! The Starlink Secret Service is an army that spiritually represents the entire human race! ”
As she spoke, she muttered to Wu Kang in the PEI dialogue: "I'll it, how did I get into a Japanese People's Liberation Army?" ”
"Sister Yu, didn't you pay attention to his file? He is from the Human Revolution Alliance, and it is said that when Xiao Xia returned to Earth, he was the first person to be contacted. ”
"In the future, you should pay more attention to this kid's thoughts......
"Don't worry, he and his Japanese friends are just good at shouting slogans, standard Naruhito otaku."
After whispering, Su Yu said to everyone again: "From today onwards, the training you will receive is ten times harsher than in Antanya, get ready!" ”
After the disbandment, everyone else followed the guide to find their own dormitory, and Wu Kangan Daoyuan and the five of them reunited with Su Yu after a long absence, and they had too much to say to her.
can match her bright and still beautiful face, that look, that temperament, has been tempered by the war, and she is no longer the buddy who used to laugh and even say some meat jokes. The five stars were a little ashamed of themselves, and they were speechless for a while.
Sensing their strangeness, Su Yu smiled and said, "What's the matter, you have become a small soldier under my command, and you are unwilling?" You still have a chance, after the training, there will be a few captains to pick people, if you behave a little older, maybe you will be picked away by Lao Hong and Lao Huang, they are ruthless characters. ”
Speaking of Lao Hong and Lao Huang, there is a topic to cut into, and after chatting for a while with several "generals" under Xia Ming, Su Yu sighed: "I hope you can grow up as soon as possible, our Star Alliance, there is no shortage of money, no lack of technology, no shortage of scientists, what is lacking is soldiers." Xiao Xia and even Xiao Huan often go into battle in person. Every time he goes out of the stargate, I can't stop worrying about what happens to him and what we humans should do. ”
It sounds like Su Yu is not very optimistic about the war?
"How so? Xiao Xia is only worried, Younas is still the same in his bones, treating war as a fight for consumption, people are the same as shells, they are consumables......"
Realizing that he had said a little too much, Su Yu smiled and said to them again: "It's not your turn to worry about these things, your task is to become a talent as soon as possible!" ”
"We won't let Sister Yu down!" An Daoyuan slapped his chest thumping.
Wu Kang asked: "Our training in Antania always feels weird, do you still have to receive that kind of training when you get here?" ”
"Of course", Su Yu stared at him and said very seriously: "Knowing yourself and mastering yourself is the most important ability." ”
In the training ground, An Daoyuan crawled out of a big round ball, walked crookedly for several steps to find a sense of balance, and the score of "40" lit up on the prompt board, he wailed, and dragged Wu Kang's arm to complain: "It's too difficult-!" ”
Wu Kang sighed, he only scored 55 points in the test just now. Knowing oneself and mastering oneself is easy to say, but it is so difficult for them to be just mortals.
As soon as he thought this, another round ball stopped spinning, and a girl struggled to crawl out, kneeling on the ground and panting, and the score of "120" lit up on the sign, which made Wu Kang's brain freeze.
When they were in Antania, one of their training programs was to put on a VR headset and show various sports scenes, requiring them to stabilize their bodies while also discerning what was in the scene.
At this point, it is even more intensive, not only to wear a VR headset, but also to wrap in a sports ball, to distinguish between what you see visually and what you feel by your body, and then blend it into the correct body feeling.
There is a difference in talent in this area, and it is difficult for people with motion sickness 3D to struggle out of one-sided senses. Like the girl who scored 120 points just now, I don't know how thick the nerves are.
This course is called "sensory self-integration", and it is the correction of the senses that were easily deceived by the environment through self-awareness.
Sensory self-integration is only the external part of consciousness controlling the senses, and all the people in the Starlink Secret Service are like Su Yu, with proliferating neurons on the inside of their wrists. Through neurons connected to PEI, the standard human neural model is gradually modified to a neural model that suits their own situation, and the "internal senses" are established, which is also their basic training course.
This subject is the opposite of the external senses, the more dull the nerves, the lower the score, and the slower the progression.
On the basis of "internal senses", they also have to try to do more conscious management of their bodies by controlling their nerves, such as heartbeat, breathing, blood pushing, etc., this subject is called "neural self-control".
However, this course is an advanced content, and like the other subject "Consciousness Spinning Top", after they have laid a good foundation.
The "Gyroscope of Consciousness" requires that in a state of zero gravity, without relying on instruments or even vision, it can quickly establish a sense of orientation by consciousness, which is also a very magical ability.
Ordinary people have no sense of orientation when they go to space, but Xia Ming personally found that people's sense of gravity is actually very keen. As long as the "internal senses" are completed, you can perceive the subtle gravitational attraction within the body.
The advanced content also includes "nerve expansion", which is similar to the "posterior intubation" described in previous novels and films. The neural interface is connected to the additional artificial nerve to realize the human-machine synchronization of the machine. For example, the operation of power armor with an artificial nervous system, no, it should be called an infantry mecha, it is completely human-machine integration.
This subject requires people to be naturally compatible and not have adverse effects on the physical and psychological effects of the extra nerves that the brain needs to control.
"Internal senses and sensory self-integration are LV1 physical training, and it is necessary to complete the two LV1 thinking trainings of thinking self-perception and metaphysics in order to advance to LV2 courses. No matter how you look at LV2's course, it looks like training new humans, Lao Kang, don't you think? ”
"If you can't get a passing grade for your senses, no matter how good your inner senses are, you can't advance, and your thinking training is even more of a mess, don't be too ambitious, dare to drag our team back, I'll let Sister Yu throw you into Natsume's team!"
"I must have worked hard, it's 2 points higher than yesterday, by the way, Captain Wu, can we really make it into the official team? I don't think Sister Yu is happy. ”
"We are not biological brothers, how can there be such a taboo? No problem, Sister Yu is just worried that something will happen to us and we will be served in a pot. ”
Wulianxing muttered in the training ground, and across a layer of walls, Xia Ming asked Xiao Huan, "How is it?" ”
Xiao Huan blinked and said: "There is progress, according to the chromatogram made for me by Qianyan, the consciousness activity of these people is above 0.03, several have reached 0.05, and the highest has 0.08, which has exceeded the safety line of 0.07." ”
0.07 was calculated by Xia Ming based on the strength of the mutant Borg's mental aggression, as long as the consciousness activity can reach this level, it can resist the aggression and will not be assimilated into a monster.
"It's all caught up with me at that time", Xia Ming sighed, and said regretfully: "It's understandable that Younas is unwilling to adopt my plan, the length of time is secondary, and what is trained in this way is not a soldier, but a new human ......" (to be continued.) )
