As soon as the Old Emperor's letter was in hand, Yang Ming made the long voyage part of his itinerary.
However, before leaving, Yang Ming has one more thing to handle. - Find a reliable mechanical thought body assistant for Edwan.
Entering the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk, Yang Ming would disconnect from the outside world, and Lyu would complete his own upgrade, as well as undertake new, incredibly extensive information.
Based on the last experience, Lyu would reserve an 'avatar' consciousness outside that can handle various emergency affairs. This avatar consciousness does not have autonomous thinking ability; it can only respond to different situations according to a complex database set by Lyu.
On the East Wind, Yang Ming hung up on a warm conversation with Catherine.
After waiting for a long time, 026 immediately moved forward, placing a stack of authorization documents in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming glanced over them briefly; they were medium-level management permissions of Dark Star and Molly Miss Group.
Lyu is still very cautious.
Even though 026 was left to look after Dark Star, Lyu split the permissions that 026 could grasp.
026 asked softly: "Boss, how long are you going this time?"
"The first trip should only take ten days or half a month; the second trip will be longer," Yang Ming smiled, "What, feeling pressured?" The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Hehe," 026 whispered with pursed lips, a bit of innocence showing on her palm-sized round face, "Indeed a bit pressured, but boss, you've given me such a high salary, I have to prove my value!"
Yang Ming chuckled and advised: "When I'm not around, your position is actually very important... You know Dark Star, 26, you are the only human besides me who knows the current development of Dark Star. You have a human brain, do you understand what I mean?"
026 blinked: "Am I your only human confidante?"
"Pretty much," Yang Ming restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Don't be too pressured, as long as I'm alive, I will hold Dark Star firmly."
026 immediately nodded: "Boss, don't say such things, it sounds ominous."
"You, young comrade, your thinking shouldn't have issues. What's ominous or not is still the old feudal thinking," Yang Ming laughed and scolded, "Believe in science."
026 was about to spar verbally with the boss, but the voice of Lyu's broadcast came from the bridge door.
"Boss, TXX No.1 prototype is about to arrive at the bridge; should she be allowed to see you?"
Yang Ming tapped lightly with his toes, and the captain's seat smoothly turned half a circle. Both people in the cabin looked towards the door.
This was the first time Yang Ming saw his own conceived, his own named, and Lyu-designed high-performance battle robot, also the latest result of part of Dark Star's black technology.
A faint sound of footsteps floated through the corridor, and a streak of silver-white brilliance, like flowing water, entered Yang Ming's view.
What followed was a female body wrapped in a silver-gray tight metallic suit, nearly perfect in proportion. Her thick platform heels made her long legs appear overly slender; her slightly narrow pelvis couldn't support such exaggerated hips, but the curve of her hips was so gracefully soft.
Her face was closer to Yang Ming's aesthetic preference for an oval face, and her pair of shallow blue gemstone-like eyes naturally made Yang Ming think of the Empire's princess singer, Her Highness Daphne.
When designing the initial face of TXX No.1, Lyu surely referenced Daphne's face.
Yang Ming was appraising her, she was also gazing at Yang Ming, revealing an almost fanatic, reverent micro-expression, even from over twenty meters away, had already bowed down on one knee towards Yang Ming.
Lyu's realistic projection appeared beside, today was rather conservative, wearing a floral dress.
"Boss, she's the one I selected as one of the best combattant thought bodies, shall we perform some simple demonstrations?"
Yang Ming shrugged: "Then go ahead, if you are prepared."
Lyu turned her head: "Show your transformation ability and the special functions of each form."
TXX No.1 slowly rose, tiptoed back two steps, her body gradually became transparent, quickly disappearing from several people's sight.
—Comprehensive performance-based optical stealth, paired with multi-type concealment technology, able to evade most model radar detection of medium and small detection ships.
Space's light slightly warped, and TXX No.1 lay on the ground like an agile cat, her legs and hands' edges swiftly 'melted,' her face slowly 'seeping' angular metallic surface armor, the bottom of her eyes flashing red brightness.
A slender mechanical 'cheetah' appeared before several people, a series of compact weapon racks emerged on her body, revealing super explosive miniature missiles that Yang Ming remembered as 'bullet' size and two eye laser emitters capable of piercing armor dozens of centimeters thick.
Then followed, airship form, hovering motorcycle form, humanoid cannon form...
Each form corresponds to very complex internal structure changes, as well as various distinctly spectacular combat effects.
What Yang Ming favored most was TXX's ability in basic humanoid form, to change appearance within seconds.
She only needs a glance at any object to quickly simulate its appearance and basic efficacy, and even use her own powerful computation chip to become a temporary ship brain.
This remarkable Intelligent Mechanic Dusk low-end technology.
Yang Ming pondered slightly, if letting three TXX invade inside a Heavy Battleship, this Heavy Battleship would suffer vanquishing blows from inside to outside.
The more powerful the battleship appears externally, the more complex the internal structure, thus simpler to conquer from within.
