Successfully returned to the Potbelly King, and Lethe's hanging heart finally let go.

My mind is full of questions to answer, and before that, there is one more important thing to do.

Lethe took off his spacesuit and walked to the escape capsule, staring at Rin Qiu inside with interest.

"Aren't you going to come out?"

I don't know if Rin Qiu heard Lethe's voice, but as soon as the words fell, the protective cover of the escape pod slid to one side.

Rin Qiu walked out generously, looking at Lechuan with a very unceremonious demeanor, quite a hint of anti-guest-oriented.

For a moment, the defenseless Lechuan was really overwhelmed by this woman's momentum.

This sense of oppression that is not angry and self-threatening, even in Uncle Baode's body, Lethe has never felt so strong.

Later, he noticed that she was tall, only half a head lower than him, and that his height was outstanding among men.

There is no doubt that the beauty of this woman is by no means limited to her beautiful face, and every minute of her whole person is impeccable.

Against the backdrop of a delicate and elegant gown, it is like a masterpiece of art.

"Who are you?"

Rin Qiu asked in a cold voice, her voice calm and beautiful.

But her tone was not so flattering, with an uncomfortable haughty arrogance that lifted her up to the clouds.

Lethe saw the change in mood for the first time on her face, revealing a curiosity about strangers.

It's no wonder that he barely knew her, and she didn't know anything about him.

So, Lethe Chuan reported to his family, and at the same time expressed his gratitude, thanking the lord's daughter for relieving the siege of the Potbelly King earlier.

"The Divine Hands?" Rin Qiu pondered, "So, you saved me to repay your kindness?" ”

"It can be understood that way."

"You're going to Weiyue to steal something?"

"That's right."

"Do you know what's going on on Wei Yue?"

"I was about to ask you." Lethe looked at the woman in front of him, "I don't know exactly what happened, but I can feel that the matter is very serious. ”

Rin Qiu said bluntly: "Someone is trying to disadvantage the empress. ”

"Wouldn't it be you who are not good for the Empress?"

Rin Qiu didn't answer, and the answer was obvious.

Lethe continued: "No wonder you are hunted down, you are so daring. ”

Rin Qiu was silent for a moment before he spoke, "I'm tired and need to rest." ”

"There are no extra lounges on the Potbelly King, would you mind sleeping in my room?"

"Lead the way."

After setting up Rin Qiu, Lechuan rushed to the command room as soon as possible, he wanted to figure out why the Potbelly King was suddenly so brave and where such a huge amount of energy came from.

In the command room, Mu Bai concentrated on piloting the ship, and the others also performed their own duties, but Naoki was nowhere to be seen.

Lethe looked around and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Mu Baitou didn't reply, he couldn't hide his excitement in his tone, and responded: "Brother Chuan, I thought you would spend time with that big beauty, but I didn't expect to come over so soon." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, get down to business."

"What's the problem, you have to go find the old tree, we haven't figured out the situation yet."

"Where's the old tree?"

"He just left, and it looks like he's gone to the warehouse."

Lethe turned and left the command room and headed straight for the ship's warehouse.

When I came to the warehouse, I saw Naoki standing in front of the strange steel tank, groping for something.

Lethe stepped forward and was about to ask a question, but Naoki was already the first to speak.

"Brother Chuan, the answers you want are all on this steel tank."

Lethe turned to the strange steel tank, an energy line cleverly connected to the body of the strange steel tank, apparently Naoki's masterpiece.

"You mean, the potbelly king's energy comes from this steel tank?"

"At first, I just wanted to find usable energy from these steel tanks, but after some inspection, I found that the furnaces of the other steel tanks were almost dry, but this one was the only one ......."

Naoki said, a look of surprise and excitement on his face, and a pair of eyes flashed with a scorching light.

"This steel tank has a powerful energy source that we can't imagine, almost endless!"

"How is that possible?" Lethe couldn't believe it.

"The facts are right in front of you, and you must have witnessed the performance of the Potbelly King with your own eyes."

"Having said that, it doesn't make sense at all, even the energy of a nuclear furnace, or even a solar furnace, is endless."

Naoki nodded, "I can't figure it out either." ”

"Have you checked its stove?"

Naoki shrugged: "This is another puzzling thing, I can't disassemble it, I can't even remove a screw, it seems to be a piece of the body, not assembled." ”

Lechuan was surprised, he couldn't be more clear about Naoki's ability.

It's hard to imagine that there is a steel tank in this world that can't be separated by straight trees.

Naoki continued: "Although the steel tank is huge, in my eyes, the structure of the body is very simple, except for the weapon system, it is only the shell, the bones and the furnace, and now I can't even disassemble the shell, and I don't know anything about the mysteries inside. ”

"Have you been in the cockpit?"

"Cockpit...... I can't open it either. Naoki said helplessly.

"Is there really such an evil sect?"

Lethe's curiosity was aroused, and he immediately climbed onto the strange steel body and walked to the cockpit.

The cockpit is located in the chest cavity of the body, similar to the human heart.

When you come to the cockpit, you can see that the cockpit is like a transparent crystal ball, embedded in the steel tank, and everything inside can be seen from the outside.

There was nothing in it, it was empty.

Lethe thought that he had found the wrong position, and took a turn around the steel body, and finally confirmed that the crystal ball, or the bulb-shaped device, was the cockpit.

On the crystal clear bulkhead, there are no superfluous objects and decorations, only in the center of the upper part, a striking number "8" is printed.

Lethe Chuan stepped forward and looked at this number carefully, and he couldn't see anything famous.

I reached out and touched it, and suddenly, I heard a crisp sound.

Click!

The transparent bulkhead actually slid open to one side, and the entire cockpit was suddenly completely exposed.

Lechuan was shocked and suspicious, and turned to Naoki and shouted, "Whoever said it can't be opened, I'll open it." ”

Hearing this, Naoki was skeptical, and hurriedly came up to find out.

Before Naoki arrived, Lethe couldn't hold back anymore, and stepped into the cabin.

Click!

The bulkhead closed on its own, and in an instant, Lethe was like being in space, the artificial gravity disappeared, and the whole body was weightless.

At the same time, it was as if it was wrapped in a strange substance, as if it had fallen into water.

Through the bulkhead, you can see what is outside, and Naoki's figure is close in front of you.

At the same time, you can also see dense data indicators in the field of vision, as well as the outside of the steel tank, all angles, and all-round scenes.

You can't go wrong, this is the cockpit of the steel tank.

This cockpit gives Lethe the feeling of not how high-end, but weird.

On Weiyue, there are many incomprehensible high-tech technologies, and their manifestations are often staggering.

However, the cockpit of this steel tank cannot be described as amazing at all, it is more mysterious and incomprehensible.

Seeing Naoki outside tapping on the bulkhead, Lethe subconsciously looked for the control button to open the cockpit.

The thought flashed through his mind, and the hatch had opened on its own, without the need to press any control buttons.

"How?" Seeing Lethe coming out, Naoki hurriedly asked.

Lechuan sighed: "I have to say, it's amazing. It should be filled with some kind of substance as a medium, which can receive the consciousness of the human brain, convey it to the body, and then make the body react. ”

Naoki's eyes lit up: "This is a very rare technology, I'll go in and take a look." ”

With that, Naoki couldn't wait to get into the cockpit.

However, a bizarre scene happened, the cockpit door did not close, and there was no reaction at all.

Naoki was dumbfounded, looked around, couldn't see anything, and could only turn to Lethe outside in a daze.

"What's going on?"

Lethe Chuan blinked, and for a while the second monk was puzzled.

Naoki pondered and said, "Is it because after you came in, this steel confessed to the Lord?" ”

Lechuan thought for a moment and said unconvinced: "It's not surprising to set up bioverification for the machine, but ...... It's fascinating that it allows me to pass the test. ”

Naoki walked out and carefully inspected the entire cockpit while asking Lechuan, "Did you do anything before?" ”

"Hmm...... Didn't do anything, just touched the bulkhead. ”

"Where did you touch it?"

Lethe raised his hand and pointed.

Naoki followed the gesture and immediately saw the number "8".

So, Naoki reached out and touched the unexplained number, and then entered the cockpit again.

Still nothing happens.

"Brother Chuan, it seems that it has already identified you." Naoki said stupidly, "The only explanation I can think of is this." ”

Lethe muttered, "I hope it's just that simple, I always feel weird." ”

"Anyway, it's a great thing to have such a steel tank, and I hope it can continue to surprise us in the future, so let's give it a name!"

"It's just called 'No. 8', it's simple and easy to remember."

Leaving the airframe, the two did not rush back to the command room, but checked the other steel tans together.

In this operation, four steel tanks were fished.

Three of them were brought back by Lethe, and after receiving the alarm from Wei Yue, everyone hurriedly returned to the Potbelly King, and Naoki brought back the last one.

Only the No. 8 steel tank is unrecognizable, and the rest can be recognized at a glance.

Naoki said: "These two GT-86s are basically in good condition, but they are a little old, but fortunately, the stove is fine." This GT-99, unlike the production machine, I think belongs to the newly developed experimental body. ”

Lethe stared at the GT-99 and said with great interest: "The body is so huge, and the arms are extraordinarily thick, like crabs. ”

"I just thought it was very interesting, so I fished it out."

"Let's call it 'Crab' from now on."
