The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 399 Hope
Although, in terms of human anatomy, the legs and feet are relatively slender compared to the rest of the body, it is easy for the overall weight to be disproportionate. Therefore, some people's walking posture may not look very graceful, and they may appear top-heavy.

However, the human body has a limited weight, and in addition to the skeletal structure, the human body is covered by layers of muscle tissue. What the skeleton cannot do, the muscles and meridians will work together. If the coordination between the two is not enough, the brain and its extended nerves will also help coordinate.

Mechs are different; they are mechanical creations inside and out, devoid of any life force. The only connection they can be considered to be with living beings is the person who pilots them.

Even if one can connect with the mecha through mental energy, this can only enhance the operator's perception and agility; it cannot change the fact that the mecha is a mechanical construct. It is an inanimate object, and its overall structure must naturally adhere to physics and principles.

Most humanoid mechs on the market, regardless of their size or weight, generally have a stable base structure. This is unrelated to whether they are lightweight or heavy; it is a common structure that all humanoid mechs need to have.

Of course, there are also humanoid mechs that do not need to consider the base of the feet, but most of them use other special designs, and the stability of the lower body is not achieved by simply landing on both feet. Pine and Cypress obviously belong to the latter category.

Jiang Hui simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for Songbai to move or even perform large movements like crouching with such mechanical legs. She used a phrase she often heard online in her past life: "Wouldn't even Xton's coffin lid be about to burst open?" Although she didn't know if Xton still existed in interstellar space.

She hasn't delved into this area yet, and still has some vague understanding. If it's not a two-footed, ground-based structure, then it must be a nuclear fusion-based levitation design. Jiang Hui vaguely remembered seeing a similar hand in a classic case study in a book; she wondered if it was that kind of design, or if she was mistaken and there was something else going on.

Jiang Hui was engrossed in observing, and the others weren't idle either. The pine tree was a large structure, and the two staff members naturally found it much easier to inspect this time than with the previous military equipment, having to use tools like a floating ladder.

While Jiang Hui was analyzing the mecha's structure, they had already moved from recording the head and neck to the torso.

"What are you still standing there for? You can go in now." The young man put his arm around the girl's back and gently pushed her forward.

Jiang Hui: ?
"Get into the cabin! How will you complete the final step if you don't get into the airport? They'll just do a quick check and it'll be over soon. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Don't tell me you don't know how to log in. Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you the other day?" Stark's tone suddenly turned dangerous.

Wait, how did we suddenly turn around here... and she didn't say anything. Jiang Hui instinctively sensed danger and quickly darted forward like a rabbit.

Watching someone quickly find the trick and board the Pine Tree's cabin without needing any prompting, Stark stared blankly for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he had remembered something.

"Ugh……"

--------------

The Pine and Cypress's exterior looks quite different from standard mechs, and its interior is naturally different as well. Its cockpit is lowered to near the waist, resulting in a lower center of gravity than typical mechs, making it easier to operate and allowing for more complete infusion of mental energy into the machine. The interior decoration is largely similar to standard mechs, but perhaps due to the mech's narrower body, the cockpit is slightly smaller, and the interior decoration is relatively less elaborate; some exposed, immovable structures seem to be hidden. In short, the overall layout doesn't resemble a typical mech cockpit; it's more like a non-combat, independent space.

Jiang Hui really wanted to continue her research, but she didn't forget the context she was in, so she had to suppress her research thoughts and look at the most conspicuous control panel in the airport.

This control cabin is different from the one equipped on the previous standard mechs, but they should be similar... right?

--------------

An employee outside seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly said to Stark below, "Captain Stark, we forgot to remind you—this mech is the battle armor used by the previous host. It is equipped with the Mental Sympathy ∞ String System and does not have the auxiliary pod for those who are not fully awakened. Ms. Jiang is still not fully awakened!"

They should have reminded people of this from the beginning. However, most of the people who came to the handover ceremony were accompanied by elders, and this person was no exception. But when the elders of the others inspected the mechs, they mostly chose to go into the cabin to guide the operation—after all, those who are not fully awakened lack common sense and operational skills in many aspects.

But none of them expected that this person would act completely unpredictably, never intending to follow up from the start, and instead just standing below watching. They were also unaware that, seeing the other person always below, they assumed the little girl was also waiting for instructions.

When they finished their inspection and looked down, they found that where there had been two people, there was now only one person; the girl was gone. Then they noticed the boarding indicator light on the mech bay and realized that the girl had already boarded the mech on the other side of the inspection.

Wait, is the cockpit of this thing really that easy to find? No instructions needed at all... Could it be that the child's father once demonstrated the mecha's functions to the child?

But none of that mattered anymore. They were getting anxious because they had tried to open the cabin but hadn't succeeded, so they had to ask Stark below.

The captain, who remained frighteningly calm throughout, nodded in a low voice: "No problem, she can withstand the pressure of the direct-connected ∞-string system."

"What the heck?!" The two staff members muttered to themselves... This incompletely awakened individual of this age had probably only attended a few classes, usually using the auxiliary pod, and their sympathetic level was likely only around 75% to 80%, at most 85%. Directly connecting to the Mental Sympathetic ∞String System at this level would probably be too much for them to handle. If their mental strength was insufficient or they operated it improperly, the certification might fail, and that was no joke.

But since their elders said so, it was clear that the other party had already entered the control room to establish a connection; otherwise, they wouldn't be unable to open the cockpit. So even though they had some concerns, they could only do this for the time being.

They were thankful that all mechs had a safe ejection system. If anything went wrong... the other party's mental energy would be forcibly severed, which might cause a slight loss of mental energy. The two staff members told themselves this with some trepidation, but they also felt guilty for forgetting to remind Jiang Hui about this.
