The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 398 The New Master
What kind of existence are mechs?

This concept actually existed on the blue planet where Jiang Hui once lived, during the interstellar home planet era, and it has given rise to many film and television simulations and even new technological concepts, but they have all only reached a superficial level.

However, it must be said that human aesthetics and thinking are remarkably consistent. Regardless of the world or era, their ambition to enhance their own combat power is so consistent, and ultimately they all unanimously chose the direction of mecha.

Now, nine star eras have passed, and people's past imaginations and ambitions have become reality. Mechs, which were once only seen in various films and television shows and virtual worlds, have now become the most commonly used auxiliary combat weapons for mankind, and have spawned countless branch technologies, presenting an incredible burst of development.

In Jiang Hui's previous life, her understanding of mecha was limited to various bulky, armored robots, or models that existed only in the virtual world and could never be actually replicated. Her knowledge of these things was very vague, and she had no real concept of them.

When she arrived in the interstellar era and truly came into contact with this groundbreaking dream-fulfilling object, she realized how shallow her previous assumptions and impressions were.

Mechs are not robots; they are mechanical creations, fighter jets born for combat, and dream creations that represent the highest combat power that humanity can optimize itself to achieve.

A mecha, a human soul merging with the machine.

Jiang Hui found it difficult to describe her understanding and feelings about this miraculous creation. She felt it was very strange. She had never come into contact with such a thing before. In her previous life, she was not the kind of person who was good at hands-on activities. On the contrary, she was rather clumsy. However, from the moment she arrived in the interstellar space and saw the mecha, she was deeply attracted. Her eyes followed it involuntarily, and she became more and more engrossed in it.

Jiang Hui couldn't explain where her interest and focus on mecha came from.

She had very little experience with mechs, and the few times she had been in them were always life-or-death situations, leaving her little time to pay close attention. If she had to say she was familiar with any, it would be the standard D-class mechs that they were currently using in their practical training courses.

However, as a batch of practical training machines specifically designed for students, all standards were deliberately made to be highly standardized, lacking many unique features. They were so standardized that they were as easy to use as a scaled replica of those in the textbook. But for someone who enjoys studying the various characteristics of mechs or even assembling them themselves, the information and experience available is still too limited.

Jiang Hui longs to experience more unique and distinctive mechs.

However, what she saw today was different. This mecha originated from the original owner's deceased father, who was also the biological father of this body's bloodline.

The A-class mech, Pine Tree, is a mech with a very distinctive personality.

Well, some people might be wondering...personality? Isn't that something used to describe people? How can it be used to describe a mecha that has no life, no inorganic matter, and doesn't even possess advanced intelligence?
Because it truly seems to have a distinct personality; one can genuinely glimpse the actions and behavior of its creator and owner from this mecha. It's called Pine and Cypress, a primitive herbaceous plant from the ancient human era of their home planet. Currently, both original species and related derivatives are extinct. Although the Imperial secret gene bank still holds its original genes, the interstellar people have yet to find a suitable place to cultivate it, and for many years have been unable to successfully plant it. Therefore, their knowledge of Pine and Cypress comes primarily from some remaining books and historical records of the Hua Dynasty; probably, apart from Jiang Hui, no one in this world has ever truly seen its true form.

Jiang Hui's family, the Jiang family, is a typical descendant of the Hua Dynasty. It is said that for generations, they maintained a tradition of not intermarrying with other ethnic groups, but this rule eventually faded away with the changing times. However, the Jiang family on RB690 Kmir is still a fairly typical descendant of the Hua Dynasty.

Jiang Hui's father named the mecha "Pine and Cypress" to signify "unyielding resilience, unyielding even in the coldest winter." He also hoped that his child would be as proud and upright as the pine and cypress, evergreen through all seasons.

This mecha also adopts the symbolism of pine and cypress trees, with nearly 50% of its exterior surface covered by a green coating of varying shades, presenting an overall vibrant greenish-blue hue.

Different parts and joints are also painted with different colored layers according to their functional areas, so that the overall look is not too flat and monotonous, but rather has a sense of layering.

The main limbs are made of a transparent material with a silvery-white sheen. However, when energy flows through the mecha, it blends into the surrounding environment, creating a visual illusion of invisibility. If used effectively in combat, this could have a surprising effect.

Jiang Hui had been studying mecha for quite some time, and he could immediately tell that the mecha in front of him was not a standardized Class A mecha. This was because military factories and most manufacturers could not produce such a mecha in a standardized manner.

First of all, its appearance deviates from the category of ordinary standard humanoid mechs. It is tall and slender, yet its overall proportions are exceptionally harmonious, making it highly flexible and versatile. It's not that a mech that is tall and narrow in overall shape is particularly difficult to manufacture... well, mechs can certainly be manufactured. But military factories are not incapable of producing them; after all, they possess the most professional and advanced machinery technology and skilled personnel.

Standard mechs are a more accessible approach to mech manufacturing, designed to make mechs affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, they cannot offer highly personalized or differentiated designs.

For example, a medium-sized military factory certified and owned by the Empire typically manufactures only four or five standard mech models, with customizable data limited to the outer coating and external weapons. They are almost certainly not going to customize a mech for an individual.

The height and width of a mecha like the Pine Tree don't conform to the standard dimensions of common mechas. To build one, they would first need to create a special mold, which seems highly improbable. Therefore, it can only be a custom-made mecha, a special type of mecha tailored to the specific requirements of the client by a mecha engineer or team.

Moreover, according to Jiang Hui's observation, the position of the mecha pine tree's feet is also a bit strange. The support of the feet is obviously insufficient. It looks okay when it is standing still, but if it moves quickly or makes a big movement with a sudden drop in the center of gravity, it may fall over.

Moreover, although the mecha's overall design is slender and tall, and the entire body appears rather long and thin, it is quite large, and the quality of the mecha's materials means it will not be light. However, the pine tree's legs, especially the base of its feet, do not have any weighted or fixed structures, making them seem rather light, only slightly heavier than a fist.
