I live in the Martian wilderness!

At 15:00 PM, at the entrance to the lava pipe in the Land of Adventure.

Mars' rotation never stops. When the shuttle carrying the command module arrived at the place of adventure for the second time, the pale sun had already begun to set in the west.

Because of the thin atmosphere, there is no diffuse, gentle red glow like that seen at dusk on Earth.

The golden sunlight shone like a searchlight on the crimson ground, casting extremely long shadows of the jagged rocks.

On this desolate wasteland, the solitary figure of the Tissot engineering vehicle is imbued with a tragic and epic feel.

"Xuan, report the final docking plan and key risk points."

Xuanjian responded calmly, "Yes, Captain. The plan has been confirmed. We will use the 'Sky-Piercing' crane for high-precision hovering docking."

"Based on the simulation, there are two main challenges in this task."

"First, the pendulum effect. Although the Martian gusts are weak, they are enough to cause the command cabin, which is suspended by flexible cables, to swing uncontrollably, and it is extremely difficult to calm down in a low-damping environment."

"Second, rigid insertion. Cables are typical flexible connections and cannot transmit horizontal thrust. After completing hovering alignment, there is a lack of physical means to push the module into the opening."

Gu Yu nodded and lightly swiped his finger across the authorization management interface of the console.

A virtual interface emitting a faint blue light instantly covered his HUD (Heads-Up Display).

This is not a simple authorization interface, but a deep neural connection authorization management system.

The core of this system is the "neuronal synchronization chip" that he implanted.

It also has a powerful function: translating Gu Yu's "superpowers" that originate from biological instincts into digital protocols that AI can understand and execute.

Gu Yu is the source of energy, while Xuan Jian will become the most precise controller.

Gu Yu issued a command in his mind, "Xuan, I authorize you to use my ability as a functional module of the Sky Shuttle, with the support of my mental power."

"You are responsible for monitoring environmental data throughout the operation. Once a disturbance is detected, immediately activate the gravity king to counteract it. The six degrees of freedom error must be kept within the safe threshold."

"After I issue the 'horizontal cut-in' command, you will be responsible for modeling and outputting the energy channels around the cable to temporarily transform the flexible connection into a rigid connection."

"That's my solution to the pendulum effect and rigid push-in problem. Xuan, are you confident in implementing it?"

Xuanjian's core logic remained silent for two seconds, seemingly processing the instruction.

"No problem, Captain. This authorization will be a chain operation. Protocol 1 will be a passive trigger module on standby throughout the process, and Protocol 2 will be activated under your final command."

"Based on the model's calculations, completing all tasks is expected to consume 20% of your mental energy. This operation will place a significant burden on your physical and mental state."

Please confirm this.

"Confirmed, let's begin work."

The moment he confirmed it, Gu Yu felt as if his consciousness had expanded a thousandfold, and he could "see" Xuan Jian's vast calculation process, which was like a sea of ​​stars!

Xuanjian also sensed this connection. It no longer analyzed Gu Yu's superpowers through sensors, but was able to directly read the "original code" of this power.

However, establishing a deep neural connection with Xuanjian comes at a price.

The massive data stream was like a high-voltage current, scorching his brain and causing neurons to decay at an alarming rate.

Almost simultaneously, his [Carbon-Fixing Breathing] ability also began to frantically repair the damaged cells.

Ultimately, these two forces of destruction and rebirth reached a dynamic equilibrium at the critical point.

Gu Yu's voice echoed in the shared space of consciousness, "Lift the command cabin, target height: 1.5 meters above the ground."

The crane arm slowly extended, and the command cabin rose vertically under the traction of four high-strength carbon fiber cables until it was level with the square entrance carved out of the rock wall yesterday.

"Activate the laser guidance system and calibrate the six degrees of freedom parameters."

[Command confirmed. Lidar system online.]

Several bright green lasers shot out, weaving a three-dimensional grid of green lasers between the command cabin and the cave entrance in the rock wall.

[Laser calibration in progress... Pitch angle error 0.2 degrees... Lateral error 8 millimeters...]

Just then—

[Warning! Sudden gusts detected! Wind speed 8.2 m/s!]

A murky yellow dust storm swept in, and the command center, suspended in mid-air, shook violently! But it only swayed by less than a centimeter.

[Stable field protocol automatically activated! Power output 75%!]

Xuanjian's voice and the alarm sounded at the same time, and an invisible, powerful gravitational field instantly enveloped the command cabin, as if an unseen hand was holding it down tightly.

The sudden crosswind seemed to have hit an invisible wall, completely shutting it out.

[Attitude has stabilized! Disturbance has been eliminated!]

The whole process was so smooth and fast that Gu Yu didn't even need to make any manual intervention.

"Well done," he praised, and continued making the final adjustments.

A few minutes later, the green grid on the screen perfectly aligned with the red reference frame.

"The six degrees of freedom are perfectly aligned," Xuanjian reported. "Captain, the initial conditions for horizontal entry have been met."

"Activate the 'Rigid Force Field Channel'," Gu Yu issued the final command.

[Proxy Command Mode Activated! Protocol Two Executed!]

Buzz!

In Gu Yu's holographic vision, a pale blue, crystal-like, semi-transparent energy channel instantly condensed around the four black carbon fiber cables.

It firmly "welded" the end of the boom to the top of the command cabin.

"The force field has stabilized," Xuanjian Broadcast reported. "The flexible connection has been temporarily converted into a rigid connection."

"Enter!"

Gu Yu seized the opportunity and steadily pushed the joystick forward with his finger.

Without the constraints of physics, the Tissot multi-stage hydraulic telescopic arm emitted a cheerful hum, like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath.

On the screen, the green grid representing the module slid effortlessly into the red target box.

"Bang—"

A heavy, reassuring metallic scraping sound came as the bottom of the module collided perfectly with the pre-made limiting slot at the opening.

[Correction complete. Three-axis error reduced to zero. Perfect nominal alignment achieved.]

"Xuan, activate the docking lock system and execute the structural fixation." Gu Yu issued the command.

"Understood! All twelve sets of electromechanical bolts have been unlocked."

"Buzz—"

Twelve sets of "three-lobed capture claws" made of high-strength titanium alloy extended from the edge of the module and probed into the anchor points previously drilled on the rock wall.

"Activate the ball screw to tighten the structure!"

"Buzz—"

The ball screw mechanism hidden inside the cabin began to rotate at high speed, suddenly tightening the capture claw backward.

A tremendous pulling force pressed the entire command module firmly against the rocky base, ensuring it remained completely still even during a powerful Martian earthquake.

"Click!"

The twelve high-strength bolts rotated 90 degrees in sync, producing a crisp locking sound.

At this moment, the command module and the rock wall achieved a stable structural connection.
