Casio, an employee of the P9 of Maga Corporation and the director of the Prometheus Research Center of the experimental base, sat in the "interrogation room".

He probably knew that he was on a flare ship, and only a flare ship could have the potential to accelerate the cruise to nearly a tenth of gravity.

The design of this spacecraft is based on the acceleration of the spacecraft's main engine to simulate gravity.

That is to say, underneath the butt, there must be a powerful terawatt-class reactor and a terawatt-class engine that is suitable for the reactor.

Casio guessed the identity of the gang that attacked him.

Could it be that a rival company has finally made a move?

Just then, his interrogators opened the door and entered.

Seeing the man's gait, Casio was so surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

In outer space, only one group of people will subconsciously maintain such a gait under gravity conditions: stride length close to three-quarters of a meter, chest up and head up.

As soon as he looked at this gait, Casio knew who he was caught.

He breathed a sigh of relief the moment he knew.

At this time, the interrogator sat down opposite Casio and introduced himself in a matter-of-fact manner: "My name is Daiko, and I am a robber. ”

The interrogator also put an accent on the word robber.

Casio shook his head, he was so nervous just now, and now he even had the time to tease the interrogator: "No, no, no robbers would have such a straight back when they sat down." They usually sit like this. ”

Casio immediately demonstrated the robber's standard sitting position: wide open and closed, and by the way, he put his feet on the table.

Interrogator: "I was a soldier before I became a robber. It's my habit. I'm really a robber, you'd better be smart! ”

"GI, no bandit will threaten people with 'you better be smart', they will hit them directly. Just like that, punch me here, and in an instant I will say goodbye to my carefully maintained white teeth! ”

The next moment, the interrogator punched Casio where he had just pointed at him, causing his entire face to tilt to the side, his neck almost broken, and a white tooth flew out, with blood drawn from his back.

Interrogator: "Now you believe it, right?" Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink. Be honest about your problems! ”

As soon as Casio heard the other party's speech as if he had written "I am the Space Force" on the door of his head, his shocked heart calmed down from his long-standing impression of the Space Force, and he continued to joke: "Robbers don't talk so much, comrades of the Space Force, I will wait for my lawyer to arrive, and then I will complain to you...... Burst! ”

The interrogator gave him another punch, and another white tooth flew out and fell to the ground under the simulated gravity of one-tenth of the standard gravity.

Interrogator: "Humans generally have 28 to 32 permanent teeth, and hopefully you'll understand what is going on before you lose all of your permanent teeth and become a toothless grandfather." If extracting all the teeth doesn't do that, let's try the fingers. ”

As he spoke, a strong man wearing a combat exoskeleton came in and showed Casio that the power exoskeleton really had a fist the size of a punching bag.

At this time, Casio's mouth exploded in pain, and the piercing pain reminded him that it was really not the space force that was famous for its civilization.

Casio felt fear.

He explained tremblingly: "I am Casio, a P9-level employee of the Maga Company and the director of the scientific research center of Prometheus in the experimental base. ”

"What are you doing there?"

"Research, research ......"

The strong man in the power armor immediately threw his fist.

Casio exclaimed, "I'll confess!" I just didn't finish it! Fuck, I just didn't finish it! I'm not mocking! I'm working on external brain-computer interfaces! ”

The interrogator gestured, and the exoskeleton man took a step back, but still looked at Casio with bad intentions, as if looking forward to the moment when he could be used as a punching bag.

Interrogator: "External brain-computer interfaces? Is that the technology used for virtual entertainment? ”

"Yes, that's it! It is also used on mechanical prostheses for people with disabilities. You Space Force...... No, no, no! Their Space Force is not needed because of the widespread use of amputated limb regeneration and transplantation techniques. But you ...... Their technology is very expensive, and only ordinary people like them can afford it.

"In the world outside of that, prosthetic technology is civilian technology, which used to require built-in neurochips to control the prosthesis, and this surgery is not cheap, but it is cheaper than the regeneration and transplantation of amputated limbs. But external brain-computer interfaces make prosthetics a thoroughly inexpensive technology. ”

Interrogator: "So your base is a good base for working for the well-being of society?" How do you explain the sheer volume of anti-human experiments we've found in your sources? ”

"Because what we are testing here is using external brain-computer interface technology to operate the spacecraft. This experiment is particularly prone to driving people crazy. We've actually consumed 513 groups of experimenters, the initial D-class has run out, and the latest experiments were conducted by a brave couple of experimenters on our side.

"Of course, they are all low-level employees, and they are also consumables, and they volunteer to conduct experiments, not to explore the unknown at all, but to covet the high return of two levels of direct promotion!"

Interrogator: "Why do so many people go crazy when operating a spaceship?" ”

"It's a hilarious question...... Don't beat it! The reason is very simple, think about the regulations of their space force, three years of space flight will have to go to the ground for three months of vacation, human beings are originally a species on the earth, and they are not suitable for the universe.

"And through the external brain-computer interface, and the sensors of the spacecraft, even if the information is 'polished' by the computer, it exceeds the understanding of the human brain and the common sense of people, so it is normal to seal it."

Interrogator: "And what benefits do you get by moving this system to the ship?" ”

"The benefits are obvious, the efficiency of the brain-computer interface in processing information is an order of magnitude higher than that of the current dashboard or something, no, more than an order of magnitude. If there is a pilot who can control this system, he will definitely be able to burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.

"In fact, the biggest shackle to improve the performance of combat boats is the 'wet parts' of human beings themselves. But there are problems with unmanned combat boats, there are too many accidents in spaceflight, especially in battle, almost all of them are accidents, and artificial intelligence can only deal with the accidents it has encountered in the learning process.

"So, if the human wet part is more thoroughly connected into the system, wouldn't it be able to improve the efficiency of the wet part?"

Interrogator: "I see. Then why is your ship humanoid? ”

Casio: "First, we wanted a humanoid spacecraft that would reduce the impact of the external brain-computer interface on the pilot's spirit. Second, we want the humanoid body to be able to use mass autonomous movement to make body turns, just as trained Space Force personnel do in weightless environments. ”

Interrogator: "Did you succeed then?" ”

Casio was visibly deflated: "Obviously, no. ”

The interrogator continued to ask: "According to our tests and computer simulations, the structural strength of your humanoid aircraft is 90 percent weaker than that of the combat boat, and basically if it is hit by the live ammunition of the combat boat-level electromagnetic gun, it will completely lose its combat effectiveness, and if the cockpit part is hit, the survival rate of the two pilots is zero.

"What I want to ask is, even if your test is successful, can that humanoid machine really use the mass autonomous movement method to turn around, and can really process complex information and respond at ultra-high speed, can these improvements make up for the negative effects caused by the reduction of the overall structure?"

Casio: "We don't have the same principles as yours, and for the company, mercenaries lose less money when they die. So survivability is not a very important thing - in the opinion of the board.

"And according to the analysis of the current actual combat records, survival in battle mainly depends on not being hit. We have your newest trump card, the one named Wang Ping'an, who dodged all attacks with a hit delay projectile, including the railgun and plasma cannon.

"The same goes for your other trump cards. Therefore, we believe that in high-end combat, what we need to worry about is laser weapons that hit when fired, but need to be continuously irradiated to cause damage. ”

Interrogator: "You guys got Lieutenant Wang Ping'an's battle record so quickly." ”

"No, what we got is the battle records of the pirates, and after careful classification and extraction, Lieutenant Wang Ping'an observed in the records of different pirates, and then summarized his battle process."

The interrogator sneered, "Yes." In fact, we also found the complete battle record of the most famous pirate king, Gila Millaire, in the captured records, including almost every battle he participated in. ”

Suddenly, the interrogator slammed the table and roared:

"Is Maga Corporation the owner behind the pirates?"

Casio shrank in fright, then stumbled, "This...... I don't know why the company has a record of Gila Millaire. But the pirates used everything for money, probably their masters, who sold them to middlemen. ”

The interrogator asked, "Which middleman?" ”

"I ...... I do not know. ”

The interrogator continued to pat the table: "Is your humanoid machine a special machine for Gila Millaire?" ”

"No, absolutely not!"

"Or not?"

At this time, the strong man wearing the power exoskeleton patted the interrogator on the shoulder: "You forget, we are bandits. ”

With that, he turned around and punched Casio on the left side of his face.

"I confess, I confess!" Casio roared.

So the fist stopped at a distance of only 0.01 centimeters from his cheek, and the wind brought up by the wind made Casio's hairstyle messed up.

Casio was shocked and continued to shout in order to save his life: "The board believes that Gila Millair is the new generation of humans who have adapted to the universe!" He should be able to control the spaceship with a brain-computer interface! That's why we developed brain-computer interfaces and new models!

"The Maga Corporation is a supporter of the pirates!"
