Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

Chapter 47: Life is not easy, Maomao sighed.

"Ah, it feels so good to just lie here and do nothing~"

In the "Star of Light" experimental base, Padofelice was lying on the lazy sofa designed by Ai Yue specifically for her, humming comfortably. Her whole body was limp and she looked very lazy.

By the way, this lazy sofa that looks like just a cloth bag filled with stuffing actually has an internal soft metal frame. A scanning system is built on the frame, which can scan the user at least three thousand times per second to ensure that every change in posture can be effectively and non-intrusively supported by the frame, so that no matter how long you lie down, you will not feel uncomfortable.

"Then don't leave. I'm short of people here."

Ai Yue stood in front of the experimental table and said without turning his head, "Come here and be my security captain. Just patrol the base every day."

The device in front of him housed a complete armor system. Under Ai Yue's control, the device simultaneously mobilized sixteen robotic arms to perform a systematic upgrade and optimization of the armor.

More than a month has passed since the science and technology exchange meeting, and now Ai Yue.

"That won't work. Brother Yue, you have so many drones here, why do you need me?"

Padofelice turned over and said lazily, "Compared to that, our Cat's Claw team needs me more."

"I heard that you have become a team leader?"

Ai Yue didn't force it. "It's hard to imagine that the guy who used to slack off and bask in the sun all day can now stand on his own."

"What are you talking about? I can grow up too!"

Padufilis pouted in dissatisfaction and looked up at Ai Yue. However, when her eyes focused on the suit of armor in front of him, her tone weakened again. "Of course, it mainly depends on the equipment you gave me, Brother Yue, hehe."

Taiyi Armor, one of the "Innate Five Tai" armor sequences, is an armor specially developed by Ai Yue for Padophilis. Its shape fits the curves of the human body and it is the lightest of the five armors, which greatly ensures the flexibility of the user. At the same time, the surface is specially painted to reduce the light reflectivity to 10%. At the same time, it can also effectively absorb electromagnetic waves. It can be said that it brings the four words "dog sneaky" to the extreme.

Of course, although this set of armor focuses on flexibility and stealth, it is not limited to this. In order to take into account defensive performance, Ai Yue directly chose the simplest and crudest method of stacking materials. The soul steel content of the entire Taiyi armor reached an outrageous 87%. It can be said that except for some parts that must use specific materials, everything else that can be replaced by soul steel has been replaced by soul steel by Ai Yue.

In this way, the defensive performance of this set of armor has reached a very exaggerated level. Although it is still slightly inferior among the armors of the same series, in the face of normal situations, even if encountering an emperor-level Honkai beast, it is enough to leave Padofelice a chance to escape.

Of course, this set of armor is not without its shortcomings. Like the Tai Chi armor designed for Dr. Mei, it lacks means of attack. After all, whether it is Ai Yue's original intention in designing it or Padofelice's own personality, it determines that this set of armor will basically not be used in frontal combat. Therefore, this part of the performance will naturally give way to other designs.

Of course, this set of armor is not completely without combat capabilities. As an insurance policy, Ai Yue also designed a system for mobilizing people. Once the armor's AI determines that the user is in danger, it will send a signal to Prometheus and Ai Yue. Prometheus will then determine how to deal with the situation based on the current situation. In no more than ten minutes, support will arrive at the scene.

Padofelice is already a rare top-level stealth fighter in the world. Now that she has this set of armor, it can be said that there is no place in the world that can stop her except the Light Star Experiment Base, which is crammed with drones and has no blind spots for surveillance. With such ability, it is reasonable for her to become the captain of the scout team.

Of course, if Padofelice still had the same character as before, who was afraid of trouble and liked to escape, she probably would not choose to become the captain even if she had such ability. From the conversation just now, Ai Yue could also hear that Padofelice had indeed grown a lot compared to before.

In the past, she would never say things like “I’m needed more over there”.

"In that case, I won't force you. Anyway, you can come back anytime you want to rest."

Realizing Padofelice's growth, Ai Yue stopped talking. After all, with her current equipment, as long as she didn't commit suicide, there was basically no possibility of her encountering danger. "By the way, how many days of vacation do you have this time?"

"There's a week off, at least for now."

Padofelice said in a very tired tone, "But you know, Brother Yue, I've never had a full vacation. There's always an emergency mission halfway through."

Her face fell as she spoke: "Ah, when I think about this, I feel like it's better to hide here and do nothing."

"It's too late. There is no place for you in this family now."

Knowing that Padufils was just complaining, Ai Yue immediately put on a serious face and said, "I'll make you regret rejecting me just now!"

"You're wrong, brother. Don't abandon me!"

Padufils also cooperated and started acting. She simply climbed up from the lazy sofa and hung on Ai Yue again, "How can I live without you!"

"Okay, let's stop making trouble."

After performing a duet for a while, Ai Yue patted Padufils's arm and motioned her to get off him. "Come and try the new function of the armor."

"Already finished? Brother Yue, your efficiency is too scary, isn't it?"

Padofelice couldn't help but sigh, "Come to think of it, I heard that you're now recognized as the top scholar in the scientific research community. Even Dr. Mei ranks behind you!"

If Padofelice used to think of Ai Yue as just some small town inventor, then as she continued to grow after joining the Fire Moth, she gradually understood how powerful Ai Yue was.

She had never imagined that the man she had picked up from the mud out of a momentary kindness would actually be the most powerful scholar in the world.

In fact, even if I hadn't been there, with Ai Yue's ability, he would definitely not have died in that muddy field, right? But if I hadn't reached out to him, would I have been able to receive such care from Ai Yue?

Thinking about it this way, what prompted me to lend a helping hand at that time might not have been kindness, but luck.

Chapter 48: Summoner skill Flash has been unlocked.

"Come to think of it, I still have the pair of goggles you gave me, Brother Yue."

When she thought about the first time the two met, Padufilis recalled the gift that Ai Yue gave her in return for saving her life.

It was a pair of goggles that looked nothing special, but they had magical functions. They could increase the brightness of light received in dark environments, thus giving people a certain degree of night vision.

With this thing, Padova looks even more like a cat.

"Why are you talking about this suddenly?"

Ai Yue was a little confused, not knowing why Padofelice's thoughts suddenly jumped to this point. "But now that I think about it, those goggles are really crudely made."

That was a test product that Ai Yue had made when he was exploring the functions of the system. Because he didn't have a comprehensive grasp of the system's functions, the things he made were a mess and could only guarantee the most basic functions. Even because Ai Yue couldn't control the imagined picture well, its pair of lenses were actually not on the same horizontal line at all, but one side was higher than the other, which looked very funny to wear.

"Who said that? It's so good!"

Faced with the producer's own comments, Padovice protested, "I won't let you say that about my baby!"

After all, it was her first time receiving a gift from someone else.

"Okay, okay, no more talking."

Ai Yue opened the outer protective cover of the device in front of him and took out a belt from it. "Let's try your big baby now."

"Hey, now all we need is a belt?"

Padofelice took the belt from Ai Yue, but didn't find any other accessories. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "Brother Yue, your research results have been upgraded again?"

"Well, after optimization, only one belt is needed to meet all the wearing needs."

Ai Yue nodded, and couldn't help showing a satisfied expression, "This is right."

In fact, after studying the power of the Herrscher of the Sky, it is not difficult to use a belt to carry a whole set of armor. The difficulty lies in how to accurately position the unfolded armor to the corresponding part of the human body when transforming. When Ai Yue was testing before, he often encountered situations where the helmet was hanging on the chest, or the hand armor did not cover the palm but stuck to the back of the hand.

Therefore, the other parts are not so much for increasing storage space as for facilitating the positioning of the armor. Now that the positioning problem has been solved, there is naturally no need for those cumbersome accessories.

"I see. I'll try it right away."

Padofelice took a few steps back to an open space, then put on the belt, "Can, transform!"

"Too easy armor, activation approved."

The next second, a faint light lit up and down with the belt as the center, sweeping across Padofelice's body. Then, countless armor components emerged from the light and finally wrapped around Padofelice's body, completing the transformation.

This is a set of armor with almost no obvious protective design. Rather than being called armor, the first impression it gives is that it is more like a tights. Only when you look closely can you perceive some designs similar to protective armor plates from the black background of the armor.

The most eye-catching thing is probably the pair of cat-ear-like protrusions on the head of the armor. These cat ears hide two high-precision special radars. The principle of this radar comes from the power of the Herrscher of Thunder. It is not only extremely accurate, but also has a low-frequency resonance effect. It can observe the space behind objects. Finally, the armor's AI "can" processes it into a visual image and presents it to Padofili's field of vision.

"It feels like... not much has changed?"

Padofelice moved on the spot for a moment, then suddenly leaped upwards, hanging herself from the ceiling through the suction system on her palms, and then landed lightly. "Is it just an upgraded driver?"

"A new feature has also been installed,"

Ai Yue explained, "Pado, the colleague who is moving, send the command 'Quantum Leap' to the armor."

"I understand."

Padovich nodded, then took a step back. "Quantum Leap."

The next second, her entire figure "curled up" from the outside in to a tiny point, and then this point disappeared out of thin air. After a while, it reappeared about five or six meters away, and then performed a strange "reverse" movement, "stretching" Padufils intact from the inside out.

"This, this is?"

Padofelice looked at Ai Yue, who was several meters away from her, and said in a surprised and doubtful voice, "What a strange feeling..."

"How is it? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ai Yue walked over and placed his hand on Padofelice's shoulder. The Prometheus extension hidden in his sleeve emerged and began to read the experimental data of this quantum leap. "What does it feel like exactly?"

"I can't really explain it. It's like... diving into water? I subconsciously hold my breath."

Padovice tried to describe it, "Everything else is fine, nothing uncomfortable."

Ai Yue nodded and said: "That's fine, it seems that you are quite adaptable."

"So what is this function, Brother Yue?"

After a brief moment of confusion, Padofelice immediately became excited. "Is it teleportation? That's amazing! Can I walk through walls?"

"In theory, it's possible. Quantum leap is... never mind. Just think of it as some kind of teleportation."

Ai Yue subconsciously wanted to explain, but considering Padovice's situation, he gave up. "In short, I need to remind you that this function must be used with caution because it has a major drawback."

Quantum leap, as the name suggests, is what Ai Yue researched from quantum monsters. By temporarily giving special properties to the armor, it can trigger the effect of "quantum superposition" in a short period of time. Then, like the quantum monster, it can achieve a similar effect of teleportation by traveling through quantum space.

The advantage of this function is that there is no moving path, so it can be used to cross certain obstacles. Even because quantum leap can allow the user to hide in quantum space for a short period of time, if you can master this function, you can even use it to avoid certain attacks that cannot be avoided under normal circumstances.

But its shortcomings are also obvious. That is, when the quantum superposition state is about to end, that is, the moment the user comes out of the quantum space, this suit of armor will be in a "window period". If it is subjected to a severe impact at this moment, then the entire suit of armor will enter the quantum collapse state due to the characteristics of the quantum superposition state. Under the influence of the quantum collapse state, most of the functions of the entire suit of armor will fail, thus putting the user in danger.

It is precisely because of this that Ai Yue chose to prioritize the implementation of this function on the Taiyi Armor. After all, compared with the other four people, Padofelice would definitely prioritize using this function to stay away from danger. In this way, she would not be easily hit by this shortcoming.

Only after Ai Yue has completely solved this problem will he choose to implement the quantum leap function on a large scale.

"I see. From that perspective, it's a very suitable function for escaping."

Padofelice nodded, "I understand. I will use it with caution!"

"I have confidence."

Ai Yue nodded, then took out a few more things and said, "By the way, Paduo, help me choose. If it were you, which one would you choose?"

Chapter 49: This is all the cat can give you.

"what?"

Padofelice disarmed herself, moved closer to Ai Yue, and looked at what he had placed on the lab table.

They were a mess of things that looked nothing alike. Some looked like stones, some like metals, some like fragments broken off from other things, and some were unknown lavender liquids sealed in containers. What was even more outrageous was that there was something black like charcoal in it, which made people completely confused.

"What are these?"

Padofelice came closer to examine it carefully, even sniffing it, but in the end she couldn't come to any conclusion. "Uh, which one is the most expensive here?"

"It's this, but I guess you won't like it."

Ai Yue pointed to the object that looked like charcoal and said, "So, just choose according to your first reaction."

"It's pitch black, and it really doesn't look good."

Padofelice shook her head, no longer looking at the object. "Well, if I had to choose...it would probably be this?"

She finally picked out an inconspicuous-looking stone from a pile of messy things.

Ai Yue picked up the stone from among them and showed a thoughtful expression.

"So what is this for?"

Padofelice asked curiously, with a sly glint in her eyes, "Are you going to give it to me as a gift?"

"It's just your luck,"

Ai Yue shook his head. "Besides, you wouldn't want something like this if I gave it to you, right?"

"Who said that? I like everything Brother Yue gives me!"

Padofelice quickly expressed her opinion, but then changed the subject, "But then again, since Brother Yue is riding on our good luck, it would be even better if you could give me something shiny and valuable!"

"I told you to be greedy,"

Looking at the smile on Padufils's face, Ai Yue couldn't help but shook his head. "Besides, didn't you just get a lot of gems from Eden a few days ago? Now you want them again?"

"Hey, Brother Yue, how did you know?"

Padufilis was stunned for a moment, then realized, "No, that was given by Sister Eden. It's not the same as you giving it to me, right?"

"It's only at times like this that your mind works so fast."

Seeing that she wasn't fooled, Ai Yue stopped teasing her and directly took out a pink crystal about the size of a pigeon egg from his pocket. "Here, this is for you. Consider it a congratulations on becoming the team leader."

"Wow, such a big gem!"
