The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 562 Unearthed
The boy who had just shouted "Marshal" with everyone else quickly stepped forward, took over the action from the person behind him, and pushed Zhou Yuanjing to the central control panel.

A 3D projection of the entire current battle situation is displayed in front of us. The red circle indicates the location of Atlantis, which is currently under attack from multiple sides.

“Father,” Zhou Xiuwen said in a low voice.

"What? Now you know how to call me father?" Zhou Yuanjing said gently, but his words were anything but polite.

In fact, Zhou Xiuwen rarely used the term "father," which clearly carries a personal connotation, in the army.

In the legion, his father was the leader and core of the entire team, and he was Zhou, the advisor... Although he did not think he could influence his father's decisions, he did not want to use such a personal relationship to disrupt the rules and regulations of the legion. Therefore, in all relatively formal occasions, he would choose to address Zhou Yuanjing as "Marshal" or his military rank.

Zhou Yuanjing had teased him before, saying that his son was just like his grandfather, a bit old-fashioned. Actually, this didn't matter at all. What mattered was that the other party was the heir to the legion, and his relationship with Zhou Yuanjing was the key. The way he addressed Zhou Yuanjing wouldn't affect anything; on the contrary, it emphasized his status.

However, Zhou Yuanjing respects the child's wishes, but sometimes he looks at him with a teasing look.

But this time, the other person proactively called him "father." Why? It's obvious...

“I know you’re worried, but you’re too impatient.” This was the second time Zhou Yuanjing had said this.

The boy gripped the mechanical wheelchair as if startled, and suddenly let go.

"Don't let your emotions dictate your will. As a leader, remain calm until everything is settled. Only when your mind is clear can you direct your actions more accurately."

“Awen, you must remember that when you sit in the highest position, the lives of everyone, the future of countless beings, and even the fate of the empire are all in your hands. You can save everyone, but only if you are prepared to make choices, and if you make a wrong choice, be prepared to pay the price.”

The boy pursed his upper lip, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

"Calm down and wait patiently. We are still 4376 kilometers away from the main station. All the advance rescue teams have already set off. I just received a message from Colonel Midgard saying that we are about to arrive at Visi Island."

"Our soldiers have destroyed all three of their planned resonance points. Their plot will not succeed."

the other side.

Jiang Hui's mental energy continued to expand. She had never tried to spread her mental energy to this extent before, which had exceeded her output limit.

But she had no choice but to do so, because these building materials were far too much of a hindrance to her mental energy. Moreover, once she fully unleashed it, she felt a suffocating sensation from the intense energy buildup, and there were constant interferences from various strong mental energy waves around her, making it impossible for Jiang Hui to concentrate on searching for the person she was looking for.

Fortunately, she has been quite active in the consciousness space over the years. Apart from creating a rough model of the pine and cypress structure, she has spent the rest of her time trying to make some new changes in this consciousness space.

She didn't try to build new rooms or things, but instead focused on the small room where her consciousness space was fixed.

She also made things convenient for him to move around, such as expanding the kitchen or study. Now, in her consciousness space, the study has expanded to the size of a library. It houses all the books she has read since the interstellar era, each one a carefully selected masterpiece. The second is storage space, with refrigerators and cabinets for storing food. Everything in this consciousness space is a manifestation of her mental power. Once external mental power is used beyond a certain amount, she will extract that portion of mental power for other uses. Perhaps because appetite is a particularly persistent breakthrough point in her mind, she often collects resources in her consciousness space by eating.

Jiang Hui's expansion of space is also an invisible expansion of her mental energy storage capacity.

Her mental energy reserves have reached an astonishing level, certainly exceeding S-rank. After using up the portion of her mental energy on the outer layer, she can continue for a period of time using her stored mental energy, which is a life-saving trump card for an Awakened.

For example, in situations like the one right now, her massive mental reserves and endurance allow her to painstakingly search for her goals within these buildings. Her innate sensitivity and adaptability enable her mental power to achieve things that ordinary awakened beings cannot.

Jiang Hui quickly found his target: a group of forty-seven different mental waves. More than ten of them were very weak, and one was emitting an unusual fluctuation, presumably indicating a problem with its mental energy.

Jiang Hui didn't act immediately. After roughly confirming their current location and posture, she turned around. She raised Wally's right hand, and a long vibrating drill appeared from the lower part of her arm.

This thing is extendable and has a controllable vibration frequency. With skill, it can even cut the desired part completely without damaging the surrounding structure. This is a relatively intact tool that she found at a junkyard. It seems to be a model that was retired a hundred years ago, but it probably still works quite well, so she picked it up and installed it on WALL-E. Unexpectedly, it's quite suitable for use now.

The dark, cramped space was filled with heavy breathing. After such a long time in such a confined space, the air had finally dried up. Everyone present began to suffer from oxygen deprivation, and in a few more minutes they would enter a state of cerebral hypoxia. If it dragged on any longer... death would not be far off.

And the waiting time is becoming increasingly agonizing.

Even though they had just received news that Jiang Hui was coming to rescue them, the impending death felt so real.

Most people don't possess the mental fortitude to face such a catastrophe, witnessing so many people perish in such gruesome ways before their very eyes. Now, trapped in a cramped space less than 0.7 meters high, even with promises of rescue, the fear of impending death lingers in their hearts.

Due to lack of oxygen, most people have become somewhat delirious, and those who are still conscious are not necessarily feeling any better. A tremendous terror envelops them, and they begin to hear various sounds that do not exist in reality and even see some images. The small space is filled with low howls like those of wild beasts.

Jaidi remained conscious, but not for long; he too began to hallucinate.

He felt a grayish light suddenly shine on his face, and fresh air rushed in, making him unconsciously take deep breaths.

Even knowing it was all an illusion, he still took a deep breath and actually inhaled a large amount of fresh air.

"Buzz—" The high-frequency drill continued to work, further widening the opening that had just been dug.

In the confined space, most people were staring intently at the gap that was no bigger than a palm's breadth.

Is this... someone really came to rescue them? Really?!
