Immortal Soul of Steel

Lei Mengmeng's explanation finally made Lin Youde understand why Gu Tie was here.

"But why would you, Mengmeng, think of letting me drive Gutie? Do you think I can activate it?"

Lei Mengmeng smiled and nodded: "Yes. After all, Gu Tie and the White Knight are a pair. Just like us, I drive the White Knight, and of course you have to drive Gu Tie."

"As for whether it can be activated or not, I believe you can."

Lin Youde wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead: "You said that, I feel so stressed..."

Lei Mengmeng patted Lin Youde on the back: "You have motivation only when you have pressure."

"Besides, if you can't activate the ancient iron, you will have no choice but to pilot the Jishu Weapon II."

"Are you sure you can use the ordinary Jishu Weapon II Kai to bring out its full strength?"

"You know, in reality, you don't have the blessing of the title in the game."

Lin Youde felt even more pressure.

After taking a look at the row of mass-produced Extreme Soldier IIs in the Gnaku, Lin Youde finally set his sights on the ancient iron.

"let me try."

"Yeah~!"

"Come on, go up from here and try it quickly."

After being forced into the elevator by Lei Mengmeng and opening Gu Tie's cockpit, Lin Youde didn't even change his clothes. Wearing casual clothes, we sat in.

Following Lei Mengmeng's prompts, she put the combat bracelet on her right hand on the console. Then press the start switch.

After a while, there was no response.

Lei Mengmeng's face was full of disappointment: "Isn't this even possible?"

Lin Youde was ashamed: "If it was so easy, wouldn't the military people have started it already?"

Lei Mengmeng lay weakly behind the console in the cockpit, her tone soft.

"I thought that, as the driver of the White Knight, my boyfriend was the starting condition for Gutie."

"I didn't expect that, no."

Lin Youde pinched his brows speechlessly: "So, don't be impatient. I've just arrived, please let me study it carefully before talking about it."

Lei Mengmeng resurrected: "That's right. You're already here anyway, so there's no rush."

Lin Youde nodded: "That's the truth. Mengmeng, please give me Gu Tie's information first, and I will study it first."

Lei Mengmeng waved her hand: "Okay, wait a moment."

After jumping out of the cockpit, Lei Mengmeng took the elevator down. Lin Youde was sitting in the cockpit, studying Gu Tie's console.

"There's really... no response at all. The cockpit is obviously powered on and can be turned on at any time. But the central control computer just can't be started. Is there any special condition that's not met?"

Lin Youde touched his chin and hoped for a while in the cockpit to no avail. He smiled and shook his head, leaning in the cockpit and laughing.

"Forget it, even if it can't be activated, it doesn't matter. I'm very satisfied to be able to see the real Furutetsu. After all, when I was playing machine combat, I liked Nanbu Kyousuke and Furutetsu the most..."

A strange wave flashed.

Lin Youde was stunned for a moment and looked around: "What did you feel just now?"

"Youde, I'm back." Lei Mengmeng climbed in with a tablet, and then looked at Lin Youde with a puzzled face: "What's wrong?"

Lin Youde frowned and continued to look around: "I don't know how to explain it. When I was sitting here just now, I felt a very strange feeling. It's like... it's like... oh, in short, the feeling is very strange , cannot be explained in words.”

Lei Mengmeng quickly comforted her: "Youde, don't worry. You mean, what did you feel? Was it the spiritual induction of the new humans that made you feel it?"

While Lin Youde frowned and nodded, Lei Mengmeng thought for a moment and suggested: "Then why don't you use the new human's mental induction to feel this machine? If it is a reaction produced by the machine, it should still make you feel That’s right.”

Lin Youde nodded, closed his eyes, and used the new human's spiritual induction to feel Gu Tie's existence.

Lin Youde: "Strange...why is there nothing?"

Lei Mengmeng: "The range is not large enough? Or is the perception not strong enough?"

When Lin Youde heard this, he not only complained: "Strength can produce miracles, right?"

Shaking his head, Lin Youde limited the area around the ancient iron body, but his mental perception had just reached its maximum.

Then……

Lin Youde sensed a wonderful existence.

"I'll go, is it true?"

"What? Do you have it? Where is it?"

Lin Youde opened his eyes and looked down.

Lei Mengmeng looked down and saw Lin Youde's...

Lei Mengmeng: "No, no."

Lin Youde: "???"

With Lin Youde's expression full of question marks, Lei Mengmeng opened her tablet with a blushing face, pulled out a picture and put it in front of Lin Youde.

"This is a perspective view of the ancient iron skeleton. Where is the place where you feel it?"

Lin Youde took a look and pointed directly below the cockpit: "Here, Gu Tie's waist."

Lei Mengmeng was a little surprised: "I remember this location is Gutie's power furnace, where the "black box" is located. "

Lin Youde was stunned for a moment: "The location of the black box is the power furnace of the machine?"

Lei Mengmeng responded: "Yes, the black box of most black box bodies is in the position of the power furnace. This is why we cannot study the power furnace of the black box body. Because the power furnace itself is inside the black box. I can’t take it out at all.”

Lin Youde frowned: "Can't take it out? But, I remember that R-2 can adjust the parameters of the power furnace?"

Lei Mengmeng shook his head: "That is just using the body's own ability to make internal adjustments. Although we understand that the power furnace parameters can be adjusted, we have not yet understood how the body's program is fed back into the black box. This This is also the reason why R-2 cannot stabilize power furnace processing.”

After researching for a while to no avail, Lei Mengmeng suggested to Lin Youde.

"Youde, why don't you concentrate all the new humans' perceptions on the black box. See if you can use the new humans' perceptions to feel inside the black box."

"So far, humans have not appeared, like the new humans, who can independently control their perception."

Lin Youde complained: "It's not the new humans who can do it, it's me who can. I couldn't do this kind of thing before I reached LV10, okay?"

After complaining, Lin Youde obeyed obediently.

The new human's perception ability is concentrated a little bit, and it rushes towards the location of the black box, and then...

"Fuck..."

"Moral?"

Lin Youde seemed to have hit something, his whole head hit back and hit the seat, holding his head and gasping.

"Youde, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Youde holding his head in pain and gasping for breath, Lei Mengmeng was so frightened that her face turned pale.

After a while, Lin Youde came to his senses and waved his hand.

"No, it's okay. I just feel a little headache..."

Lei Mengmeng looked worried: "Then..."

Lin Youde waved his hands and said excitedly: "But I have made a major discovery. There seems to be something similar to consciousness inside Gutie's black box."

Lei Mengmeng's eyes widened: "Doesn't that mean..."

Lin Youde looked excited and surprised: "Yes, in a sense, Gu Tie has self-awareness..."
