I'm not Yingjie

"..."

Kevin is not weak. When he learned that he was about to become the captain, the first thing he thought about was not whether he was qualified, but whether he could do it well.

He cannot act like a newcomer, but must lead his teammates with a mature attitude, but this comes with a series of reflections on his own abilities.

After hearing the news, Lin had only one question to ask about this arrangement.

"Kevin, what is your Honkai adaptability?"

After Kevin gave that obvious answer, Lin already had an idea of ​​the arrangement this time.

When one person walks in front holding a lamp, the people behind him follow the light of hope and then they have hope.

That's what May's supporters think.

"Lin, I want to know, what should I do?" Kevin looked at the helmeted man in thought. His childish face had changed. After entering the Fire Moth for Mei, he had taken responsibility, and after witnessing the separation, he had matured.

The time for the three to talk and laugh passed by, but it was not anyone's fault. They were just pushed forward by the torrent of fate. Even if they were unwilling to take up arms, they had to fight.

Lin sighed, "Which aspect?"

Kevin said firmly: "Everything."

"Then let's practice first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin's fist was already in front of him.

……

"Hun, have you been on too many missions recently?"

Himiko looked at Soul, who had just returned from a day and night of fierce fighting and was lying on the sofa, and asked with her fingers clasped around the corner of her clothes.

She was very happy to see that Hun was able to cheer up and become stronger after Lin's counseling. However, since that day, Hun became a mission maniac like Lin, fighting on the front line day and night, and just like Lin, often doing missions alone.

At times, Himiko even felt that Hun was more devoted than Lin. Relying on her better adaptability than Lin, she would often go deep into the battlefield. Unlike Lin's regular combat, it was common for her to fight for several days and nights or even more than half a month. This made Himiko worry about Hun's health.

"Hu... It's okay, Captain. As long as this can save a few more people, even just one person will be fine..." Hun put her arm on her forehead with disheveled hair. She did feel weak, but when she thought that she could prevent those tragedies from happening again, a steady stream of strength surged out of her body.

Captain Lin must be hoping that I will do this.

Himiko didn't know what to say, so she pushed the file bag to Hun and said, "This month's physical examination results show that your index is a little over the standard. When there are no team missions, you should rest in the base. Do you understand?"

The index exceeding the standard naturally refers to the Honkai energy coefficient. It becomes dangerous when it exceeds the tolerance range. If you don't treat your body well, it will be eroded by the Honkai energy sooner or later.

Hun smiled gently: "Don't worry, Captain, I always inject inhibitors."

"Oh, really, that guy left and you started all over again. I am the captain but I am just a commander without any troops. Lian Hua is more like my team member."

While dealing with Himiko's complaints, Soul picked up the file bag and took out his own physical examination.

The coefficient is indeed a bit over the limit, but it doesn't matter. If I can share some of Lin's burden and let him rely on me more...

No one will die, and Lin will definitely not... No, he definitely can't...

"Huh? Soul, what are you laughing at?" Himiko suddenly saw the face behind the Soul file and asked in surprise.

"Huh? Oh... nothing."

Soul's expression returned to normal, and she smiled and shook her head at Himiko as usual.

"That's good. You were laughing a little bit creepy just now. Are you under too much pressure?"

"No~"

Hun smiled brightly, without a trace of gloom.

Chapter 74 This body is perfect

"Ah! Ah! Ah! What on earth is the problem?"

Delta rolled on the ground with his greasy hair in his arms, and then accidentally bumped into the cargo hold with a loud clang.

"..." Ignoring the R&D director who was acting like a child, Lin picked up the tablet and saw that the design drawing of the floating gun was full of crosses. He compared it with the actual drawing which showed almost no progress in appearance. For a moment, he didn't know whether to blame Delta or comfort him.

Compared with half a year ago, it cannot be said that there has been no improvement at all, but it can only be said that even the difference of a screw cannot be found.

"It hurts so much... Anti-gravity suspension... Tsk." Delta stood up unhappily after venting his anger and snatched the tablet from Lin's hand. "How on earth do those bastard Herrschers know how to fly as soon as they have the Herrscher Core? Is that their instinct? Can you explain it to me?"

The assistant shrugged and said, "That is knowledge about Honkai. Minister, it is a very difficult challenge for you to understand Honkai using human common sense."

"I know! But aren't we here to challenge areas unknown to humans?" Delta gritted his teeth unwillingly, staring at the floating gun in front of him with hatred, "If we had the anti-gravity flying ability like the Herrscher, then we wouldn't have to passively take a beating on the ground. Giving humans wings is the dream of many predecessors!"

He turned his head and said, "Lin, how about you install a Herrscher core and become a Herrscher, and then tell me how to overcome the technical difficulties?"

"..." Lin's eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze.

"Ahem, I'm just kidding. Herrschers are all women. How could I let you go?"

Lin rubbed the outer armor of the floating gun with his fingers. It was made of a new material, which was much more flexible than he expected. He asked, "What do you think of Wei Wei?"

"Um... she said something that's a little hard to understand." Delta imitated Velvet's tone and said seriously, "'Wouldn't it be fine if Lin awakened as a NewType?'"

“…” Lin might have to thank Wei Erwei for not changing Titan’s name to νTitan.

Lin was not able to help with the technical problems. Mei, who should have come to the R&D department, was unable to participate in the development of cutting-edge technologies due to various things. Even the development of Prometheus II was delayed.

"Can't the other weapons and the main body be put into actual combat?" Lin asked a question that he was more concerned about.

"The floating flight backpack is the top priority of Titan's research and development. During the research and development process, Titan's overall parameters need to be adjusted." Delta naturally understood Lin's idea. "Subsequent additional weapons only need to be increased according to the existing parameters, but the floating gun cannot be adjusted."

"Besides, you must want to see a perfect Titan." Delta winked at Lin, but unfortunately he could only see his own antics in the reflection of his helmet.

Lin should really expect a complete Titan from the driver's perspective, not a half-baked one.

"Well, as compensation, I've already debugged this thing. Here it is." Delta handed the phase transfer device to Lin. "Based on the development of the first version, we have now configured a 'time-space rupture' system in each soldier's armor. It is a weakened stabilization system for phase transfer. It won't make mistakes, and it won't be fatal. More importantly, it has low requirements."

"Of course, you will definitely continue to use phase transfers with high risks and high rewards, so I try to adjust this thing to be as stable as possible, and the loss of consciousness will not occur in the first few times."

Lin Moran put away the phase shift device. It is true that he often used technologies with equal risks and benefits, including Delta's additional burst mode, phase shift and Mobius's toxin.

With not much time left to live, he no longer has to worry about the side effects.

"Woo..." Delta pinched his stiff neck and looked at Lin with relief. "Come to think of it, we have known each other for more than a year. The kid who used to ask why we didn't make a lightweight Titan now has some humanity."

Lin Hui looked at him: "Same to you."

"That may be because I'm getting old. I've been worried about my hair loss lately. Do you think I should go to Dr. Mebius's laboratory to get a prescription for hair loss?"

"..." The most likely thing she'd do for you is transplant hairy gorilla skin onto your head.

"By the way, the research on the Third Herrscher is still ongoing. Unlike the Second Herrscher, the Third Herrscher focuses on weapons. Do you have any ideas?"

This is to seek Lin's opinion. When the research reaches a certain stage, it may reach a bottleneck. At this time, the opinions of outsiders may play an unexpected role.

"I'm very good at using Raikiri and Plasma Shadow Show."

"But you can't use it for the rest of your life, right? How about something cooler? For example, miniaturize the floating cannon and install it directly on you..."

Lin listened helplessly to Delta talking about his strange ideas, leaning back in his chair in silence.

Delta's gaze was as gentle as drizzling rain.

It was as if he had returned to the past, and he was telling those fantastic ideas to another person in the same way.

……

"Left arm, raise it 90 degrees."

Velvet put down her top hat, picked up the camera and turned it on to film the great experiment that was taking place.

Under the single searchlight, an arm so pale that it looked bloodless was raised.

"Very good, put it down, switch to your right arm, switch three times, then switch to raising your legs 90 degrees forward and backward."

Just follow the instructions one by one, and your movements will be as smooth as those of ordinary people.

"Basically it's movable, okay. Now look forward and do a vision test." Wei Wei turned on the projector, "There are several Lins in the picture."

"Two." The voice was so calm that there was no fluctuation.

"Um...it seems the monitor needs to be adjusted." Wei Erwei crossed out the vision item on the notebook beside her. "There is only one Lin in the picture. It should be a problem with the light visual imaging... Next, the operation of the consciousness circuit. Don't let me down. The answer you gave last time in Girl Machine 1.0 made me doubt whether we are from the same world."

"Dr. Weiwei, that's because the questions you asked are definitely not what people in this world should ask. At least there is no corresponding record in my database."

"It's Weiwei's 'big' mechanical engineer." Weiwei corrected dissatisfiedly.

"..."

"In fact, your original form of consciousness is more convenient and more in line with your design concept in my opinion. Having a body is not necessarily a good thing." Wei Wei licked the corner of her mouth excitedly. "However, this does interest me. Everything has to be challenging to be interesting."

"Vilvi 'Big' Mechanical Engineer, please continue."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot something. So, do you know who you are?"

The red eyes symbolizing the mechanical indicator lights lit up.

"I am Prometheus I, the artificial intelligence that assists Lin."

Chapter 75: Birdsong

"This time we are heading to a small coastal town on the Mu Continent. Due to multiple small-scale collapses and natural disasters caused by its geographical location, this place has been in a state of long-term disorder and chaos. This is something we must pay attention to."

Imer explained to Lin Hehua the location of the next mission. Neither the Fire Moth nor the government wanted to waste resources and manpower on such a small border town. The nearest shelter to this town on the map was more than 30 kilometers away.

The definition of small-scale collapse is relatively narrow. It is generally the lowest-level collapse beasts and dead soldiers formed by wild beasts and humans eroded by collapse energy. Although the scale is not large, it is difficult for ordinary people to deal with it, so it is normal for this place to fall into a state of disorder.

"This mission is to jointly investigate the high Honkai energy reaction that occurred here with Team 1 and Team 4, as well as the abnormal typhoon phenomenon that has lasted for a month."

As Imer waved his fingers, the local map and typhoon distribution were projected onto the inner wall of the transport plane.

"Every year, typhoons land on Mu Continent from here, so at first, the Fire Chaser thought it was a normal natural phenomenon. However, this time, the level 12 typhoon did not continue to advance inland, but stopped in this small town, and the wind level is still gradually rising. It turned into a strong typhoon yesterday. It is estimated that the wind level will rise to above level 16 in three days."

Super typhoons are almost invisible on land. Their wind speeds can reach over 300 kilometers per hour and can easily cause extremely large waves of 14 meters or more. They are often accompanied by heavy rains and tsunamis and are one of the most serious natural disasters.

A typhoon that has stayed in the city for a full month and whose wind level is still rising is no longer a natural phenomenon. Coupled with the abnormally high Honkai energy reaction, it is no wonder that three teams were dispatched directly to investigate this time. This situation will at least lead to the birth of a higher-level Honkai beast.

"Team Seven and Team Three are mainly responsible for evacuating the remaining residents and investigating the source of the typhoon. Team One is on alert. If there is any important matter, they must report it to the headquarters... Captain, is there anything else you need to add?"

Lin stared at the map in silence and said, "Don't disperse in bad weather and low visibility. Contact other teams every once in a while."

"Yes." Hua and Yimer answered in unison.

This disaster sweeping across the city and the unnatural "natural disaster" are filled with a sense of déjà vu...

[Lin, a communication from Delta]

Lin, who had been deep in thought, glanced at the words in the upper right corner and accepted the communication.

There was no abnormality after Prometheus came back from Velvet. He asked Velvet what she was going to do with Prometheus, and the only vague answer he got was "It seems that it needs some adjustments before releasing 3.0."

As for Prometheus... Lin has even given up asking this disobedient AI.

"Hello? Lin."

"..."

"Hello, hello... Really, I thought the call didn't go through when there was no sound. Never mind, just listen. This is super good news."

Delta stood in front of the hanging floater, smiling smugly.

……

"Delta, you said it would be great if humans could grow wings."

"What? Did you fall into a deep sleep? If you want to grow wings, you can ask the people in the laboratory for advice."

"no."

The man rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the empty sky.

At sea, you can see a sky that is like a flawless dome, and it seems as if you can touch it with your hand.

"Growing wings isn't quite accurate... What I'm trying to say is that it would be nice if humans could fly more like birds."

Delta yawned as his fingers tapped on the keyboard. "Yes, it's an airplane, isn't it?"

“Not the airplane kind.”

"Then what do you want?"

“Well… it’s a little hard to express.” The man held the back of his head and sighed, “It’s that feeling of not being bound by gravity.”

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Delta laughed. "You are not thinking about anti-gravity levitation flight, are you? That is just a concept. There is no sufficient energy support and no theoretical knowledge to refer to. You want to create a fantasy technology from scratch without any underlying structure. Do you think humans progress by reading the design book of the Creator?"
