The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 298 Error
However, Jiang Hui overestimated herself.

She may not have grasped the key point of piloting a mecha yet. It's not about synchronized movement, but about sensory harmony. It's not about using her body to control the mecha, but about using her mental power to control it.

The psychic communication technology, also known as the third-degree neuron splitting project, is one of the earliest bioengineering projects undertaken by humankind in the interstellar era. It was originally developed to study the potential of neurons in the human brain. Later, the principles of human neuropsychiatry were discovered within it, and it was directly incorporated into the field of mecha research. In less than a century, it became one of the core technologies of pioneering interstellar mecha.

Thanks to this technology, humanity has upgraded from traditional human-neural intervention-type mechs to today's universal mechs that use mental power as a medium for spiritual communication, realizing the leap to fully mentally controlled mechs, liberating and breaking through the limitations of the human body, and entering an infinite era belonging to the mental domain.

However, using full mental control still has some problems. The connection between the operator's physical senses and the mecha is weakened. The body, mind, and various parts of the mecha are almost separate, each going its own way. Even if there is a connection, it is not strong, and it is still difficult to achieve a unified attack.

To give mecha pilots a more realistic sense of balance and orientation, as well as to perform more precise operations, the early engineers also spent a lot of time incorporating human bioengineering to increase the connection between the human body and the intervention of mental energy and the mecha.

In the nearly two star eras since then, the psychic universal mechs have been able to integrate human nerve senses into mech operation as a major auxiliary element. The latest generation of psychic ∞ string system allows all mech pilots to synchronize their senses with the changes in the mech in real time during mech operation, which also makes it easier for them to accurately judge the next move.

Therefore, neurosensory synchronization can be considered a kind of information feedback from the mecha to the pilot. The pilot can also enhance the use of mental power in the mecha through the sensory memory of the operation of the limb nerves. However, the regulation of the limb nerves is not a necessary condition for piloting the mecha.

Her understanding of mecha was probably limited to some movies and TV shows from the Blue Star era, such as Gundam, Giant, and American Giants. In those shows, the mecha designs required wearing heavy connecting gear to synchronize movements inside the cockpit.

Jiang Huigang's connection with the mecha's sensory rhythm led her to have some misunderstandings about its operation, so she thought of trying to use her body's senses to support the mecha and stand up.

But piloting a mecha is not that simple. If piloting a mecha requires the pilot to use both hands and feet to control it inside the cockpit, then what's the difference between that and putting a metal weapon over a person? Why introduce mental energy as well? The most important thing for piloting a mecha is, of course, the pilot's source mental energy.

Driven by her instinctive senses and a thin layer of mental energy, Jiang Hui tried to straighten the back of the mecha, but unsurprisingly, she failed.

So all the people outside the arena heard was her making a lot of noise but doing little, driving the mecha to half-erect its fuselage, only to be followed by a collapse that happened even faster than before.

"Huh? It stopped?"

"Wait, it fell down again, failed? I knew it, it's not that easy. Even the first person has to follow the steps." Some people breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling less pressure. "Forget it, let's not look at others. I haven't even connected yet..." Some looked around but couldn't figure it out, so they went back to the support pod to continue their efforts.

"Ugh, this is so boring. When will the class advisor move on to the next step? I don't want to keep watching others show off their power..."

Jiang Hui did encounter some problems. She was trying to straighten up the mecha since she had already connected and could clearly feel its presence, but she didn't expect to suffer a Waterloo at this first step.

Although it was a failure, it didn't seem like a complete failure, because the mecha's body did seem to rise, but it only rose less than a third of the way before falling back down. Could it be that her mental energy output wasn't enough?
Jiang Hui was thinking of diverting some of her mental energy to cover the area around the fuselage again, and was about to try again, when she heard her class teacher Stark's message once more: "Stop thinking nonsense... the control panel in the front cockpit is not just for show."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui's enthusiasm immediately waned. This meant... if she wanted to control this mecha, she wouldn't just need her sensory nerves and mental strength, but also the assistance of this control panel? This was far more complex than the previous methods, and she had absolutely no knowledge in this area. It wasn't something she could figure out on her own, so it was no wonder she failed.

And this is the second time… Stark reminded her separately. Jiang Hui suddenly remembered that she was still in a large class. Had she already fallen behind the group after all this time?

She seemed so focused that she completely forgot she was in a group class. Could she have unwittingly become the kind of person Stark criticized for wasting everyone's time?

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Hui felt a little uneasy and quickly looked at the view through the front window of the mecha. Unfortunately, the mecha she had chosen was in the very front or even the side position, with limited visibility, so she couldn't see anything. Naturally, she also couldn't see the row of students behind her who hadn't even boarded their auxiliary pods but were instead peering through the front window of the cockpit to watch her first mecha experience.

Stark observed the various reactions of the people without intervening, because this was the time and opportunity he was giving them. He wouldn't offer useless encouragement or rush to criticize them pointlessly. He wouldn't teach them every detail step by step, but he allowed them to stop and think, try, and even communicate and observe.

Of course, among the group, there would be those like Jiang Hui and Clarence who would pick things up easily, while there would also be students who struggled to learn due to limitations in talent or comprehension. Stark wouldn't reject these students outright, but he also wouldn't let them get through so easily.

The path to strength is always one that one must forge oneself; no one can truly offer help. This is something they can only truly understand through their own experience.

However, Stark never expected that the first person to disrupt his plans would be Jiang Hui. He hadn't actually intended to give Jiang Hui any special treatment in the class, but who knew that the child was not one to play by the rules and always did unexpected things.
