Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3977 Truth Combat Suit

Eaton Industrial District is located in the southeast of Ghent, one of the four continents of the Celestial Realm.

This place boasts a highly developed industry and commerce, where numerous mechanics work diligently. Most of the goods and materials of the Celestial Realm are produced here, making it the mainstay of the Celestial Realm's mechanical civilization.

According to historical research, the original Celestial Continent, also known as the Is Continent, was the place where mechanical civilization first appeared as sparks before it spread like wildfire during the era of the Explosive Dragon King Bakal.

The most well-known part of Eaton Industrial District is undoubtedly the Sman Industrial Base, which is also the source of the Celestials' electricity lifeline.

Winter Science Park is a massive science park located in the southern part of the Eaton Industrial District. It is the core area of ​​the Celestial Science Civilization, where various research projects are being carried out vigorously.

If the seven divine elytra are the seven brightest stars in the heavens, the seven jewels in a crown, then Winter Science Park is the throne that bears the weight of the heavens, the foundation of science.

The main base of the War Core Workshop is located in Winter Science Park.

Invited by "Spirit of the Machines," the head of the War Core Workshop, Aurora reported her trip to the military and then took the sea train to Eaton Industrial District. She then rushed to Winter Science Park and arrived at the War Core Workshop.

"You've arrived quickly. It seems you're already eager for the new weapon. How's the military handling things?" The current head of the War Core Workshop, also known as the Mechanical Spirit, greeted his friend Aurora with a natural and generous smile, welcoming her into the Science Park.

Rumors about the Commander-in-Chief having mental health issues, and the possibility of him being held accountable and dismissed, have spread like wildfire from Ghent to the Eaton industrial area.

After all, the position of combat readiness commander is very special. In the military system, only a few commanders and generals with outstanding achievements are a certain rank higher than her. And the higher a person's position is, the more attention they will receive. This is an inevitable situation.

Of course, matters concerning high-ranking military officials, including rewards and punishments, generally do not easily leak to the mass media. However, within the corresponding circles, such matters are certainly impossible to conceal.

The "Spirit of Machinery" before us is naturally one of them, and she is the most outstanding one, able to access the core circle.

After all, the War Core Workshop, judging from its name, is clearly inextricably linked to the military.

Aurora first pictured the general in her mind, and then gained a deeper understanding of the attention she was receiving. She replied helplessly, "It's alright, it's resolved."

The fact that the other party could ask such a question shows that they must know the follow-up, know that General Ye Lin supported her in the military, and know how her position was ultimately resolved.

However, some things shouldn't be asked in too much detail or brought up in public, as they are a bit sensitive. Otherwise, if the other party says, "I heard that the military was going to dismiss you, but the general protected you...", it will give the impression that she is incompetent, not in good condition, and relies entirely on others for support.

Aurora quickly steered the conversation back to the combat suits, asking, "Serafina, you mentioned in your email that there are two issues regarding the combat suits for the support fighters that you need my personal help to resolve, right?"

One aspect should be the practical application and operation of the combat suit. Suitable personnel need to wear and test the suit to obtain various data. Then, the War Core Workshop will optimize and improve the suit based on this data to design the final combat suit that can be mass-produced.

“Yes.” Serafina raised her finger and pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose. A significant number of researchers have vision problems; it’s an occupational hazard that’s hard to avoid.

Actresses like Gina Theodore and Nair Seeger are practically inseparable from glasses. Maisie and Lindsay also have some nearsightedness, but they don't wear them in their daily lives. However, they will wear contact lenses when necessary to maintain a professional image.

"Come with me, we'll go straight to my lab."

Serafina turned and walked ahead of Aurora. Her long, golden hair, like a cascading ribbon, was partially coiled at the back of her head, adorned with a classic hairpin. Under the sunlight, the overall effect was breathtakingly magnificent and splendid.

On the way, Serafina began to explain the functions and characteristics of the combat suit to Aurora, mentioning that the combat suit uses some of the technology of micro-robots, has the ability to self-repair, and most importantly, can directly link with the user's mind.

The technology of the micro-robots comes from Dr. Gina and her team. Their most eye-catching ability is the "GX Starry Sky," which shines like a constellation of stars. It is considered an extremely destructive attack and has an unpredictable energy limit.

"Although the combat suits are equipped with advanced artificial intelligence programs, we always believe that all the purposes of machines are designed to serve humans and must be guided by the will of humankind."

"Especially on the ever-changing battlefield, reason and emotion often clash fiercely. Artificial intelligence can only choose which side to take based on pre-set programs, while we humans can make more flexible considerations and more accurate judgments about the situation, whether to act on reason or emotion."

Just like the painful experience of Aurora witnessing her comrades sacrifice themselves before her eyes, if it were artificial intelligence making the choice, and if the program were pre-programmed to execute the mission, then even if the time were rewound a hundred or a thousand times, the artificial intelligence would not choose to save Iaso, but would coldly execute the mission of covering the retreat.

It was unfortunate that Iaso's injuries were too severe to be saved at the time, but there is a possibility in the future that there may be opportunities to rescue him, but due to cold procedures, he may be deliberately ignored.

Human emotions cannot be learned by machines.

Aurora was deeply affected by that incident, suffering for many years and her condition continued to worsen, vividly demonstrating the rich emotions of the human race, unlike the cold, programmed robots.

Therefore, the combat suit designed by Serafina based on the needs operates primarily under the guidance of the wearer's mind, with the artificial intelligence it is equipped with serving more as an additional auxiliary system.

Soon, Aurora saw the combat suit placed in the cleanroom; it was a black combat suit with a strong technological style.

The tight-fitting one-piece design uses dark brown and black elastic materials as the base, with dark mechanical armor covering key areas of human movement such as shoulders, knees, and arms. It also features many luminous energy cores, providing both protection and an advanced scientific feel.

The overall design presents a cool, austere color scheme with close-fitting lines. The armor surface appears to have a deliberately aged metallic texture, paired with sophisticated metal accessories. It also provides many additional weapon accessories and interfaces, such as a place to store a mechanical pistol.

As Serafina activated her combat suit, the embedded energy core began to glow, emitting a welcoming voice from an artificial intelligence.

Serafina's beautiful face showed a proud expression as she said, "Try using your Asclepius to search the surrounding area for usable machinery."

Aurora nodded and did as instructed, opening her Asclepius device to search for nearby machines she could connect to. Immediately, she received data feedback pointing to the combat suit in front of her.

Then, with Serafina's help, she completed the identity binding of the combat suit and gained the right to use it.

Based on the data provided by Asclepius, Aurora began to learn the basics of using the combat suit and understand its functions, which was a necessary step.

After a while, seeing Aurora nod, Serafina said, "If you're ready, go and give it a try. Let's start our first data collection. Seeing something a hundred times is not as good as trying it once."

"Then, because this combat suit is form-fitting, in order to meet the needs of flexibility, you can basically only wear underwear and briefs when wearing it, and at most, another thin layer of close-fitting clothing." If you pursue more internal space, the combat suit will gradually become bulky and become an exoskeleton armor, deviating from the original design intention.

Serafina lowered her head and started working on her personal computer, calmly saying, "For more accurate data, I suggest you only wear underwear for the first test. Now I'll generate a training ground for you to test the combat suit. Don't worry, only I can watch the surveillance here. I'll delete the video of you taking off your clothes later."

Upon hearing this, Aurora rolled her eyes slightly, but she wasn't shy or pretentious. She first took off her combat commander's trench coat, then placed her slender fingers on her chest and unbuttoned the tight uniform buttons one by one. As the buttons were undone, her tall and full "numerical panels" relaxed noticeably for a moment, like a water-filled balloon being placed on the ground.

A large and heavy bust will naturally present a sense of fullness and heaviness due to gravity, but her overall curves are still beautiful and do not detract from her own high and full beauty.

Wearing only two close-fitting underwear, Aurora took a slow, deep breath to adjust her emotional state. She raised her hand to touch the seamless combat suit. The moment her fingers touched it, illusory data particles swirled up, and dark data information flowed like water. The combat suit opened, giving her a suitable space to wear it.

The combat suit is made of a specially treated material that feels very soft against the skin and is very comfortable to wear, much like the sacred silk favored by nobles.

Aurora tried simple physical activities, such as jumping, squatting, twisting, and chest expansion. All her movements were very free, as if they were her own skin, without any mechanical friction.

"Are you ready? I'm about to begin," Serafina asked.

"let's start."

As Serafina was activated, all the energy cores embedded in the combat suit lit up. In an instant, a special current swept through Aurora's entire body, beginning to connect with her brainwaves and establishing a true first connection with her.

Aurora felt an invisible foreign object invading her mind, as if something was penetrating her brain and stimulating her brainwaves, producing various mental fluctuations.

She clenched her teeth silently, making a grinding sound, and tiny blood vessels seemed to appear in her eye sockets as she endured the process.

"The connection is progressing perfectly, very smoothly, already seventy percent complete." Serafina looked at the data displayed on the screen and couldn't help but praise, saying with a surprised tone:

“I originally thought that you would need at least four or five attempts to succeed initially, but now it seems that the chances of succeeding on the first try are quite high. Your brainwaves are very active, as if you are thinking at high speed, but there are no signs of disorder or collapse.”

"Aurora, how did you do that? Was the military's assessment of you wrong?"

I heard that the military is about to issue her a notice of resignation. It shouldn't be a false rumor. Aurora, who has mental problems, should have developed some abnormal behavior during the adaptation process.

For example, if the pain causes a sound or sudden trembling, the pairing may fail and the combat suit may automatically fall off.

Everything seems to be going well right now, and Aurora is in great shape.

When Serafina tested the combat suit herself, it took her second time to successfully pair it, and at that time she wasn't wearing it; she was just remotely controlling it using a helmet.

Aurora's condition became increasingly stable, and tiny sparks seemed to flash in her eyes. Her mind raced, and she subconsciously replied:
"It was General Ye Lin who helped me."

She quickly frowned, a strong sense of astonishment rising within her. She immediately sensed that something was amiss, because Serafina's question wasn't something she had to answer, nor did she intend to.

Serafina paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled slightly, before suppressing her laughter and saying:
"I forgot to tell you, because the combat suit connects to your brainwaves and generates corresponding stimulation, you will be able to answer any question, and what you say will be the truth from the bottom of your heart."

"But don't worry, as a friend, I won't pry into your privacy."

Aurora calmed down a bit, and the matching process had reached 90%.

"Are you and the General on good terms?" Serafina suddenly asked with a smile.

If I were honest and straightforward, then I wouldn't be your good friend.

"It's alright." Aurora couldn't control her urge to tell the truth.

"What do you mean by 'okay'? How did you two first meet?"

"He recommended me for the position of supervising officer... He visited my home and met my mother..."

"I often go to the Grand Cathedral of Remedia for treatment, always through his portal; his home is the transit point..."

"At the entrance of the support division base, when I asked him to get out of the car, he suddenly kissed me... I was a little angry and glared at him for a while..."

Serafina asked curiously, "Didn't you beat him up?"

"No... He said he wanted to marry me... I said, based on what you've heard, is it because you like my breasts that you said that..."

"He said...my butt is sexy too...I said..."

Aurora's eyes lit up as she completed the connection, resonating with the frequency of the combat suit. Then she closed her mouth and stared at her friend with an incredibly cold and sharp gaze.

You're doomed; our friendship is going to turn into plastic.

Just as I was about to speak, the voice of artificial intelligence suddenly sounded in my mind...

"Armor enhancement... Armor enhancement..."

Serafina pretended not to remember what had just happened, not giving her a chance to question her, and said, "Start training now. Follow the arrows."

A passage opened up from the wall. Aurora glanced at her, turned and disappeared into the passage. Her combat boots were equipped with some kind of advanced technology, which burst forth with powerful propulsion in an instant, allowing her to easily leap more than ten meters. And this was only the initial use, far from the limit of the combat suit.
