The light wings gradually disappeared, and the silver-white body that returned from victory once again stood in front of Lloyd, Mira and the others.
"Congratulations to the Knight Commander for returning victoriously!"
Lloyd looked at Lei Mingkai stepping down from the cockpit, and immediately led his subordinates to congratulate Lei Mingkai on his victory. Mira, who was standing next to him, did the same.
"No. This is not a victory worthy of praise. According to the performance of the new machine, this is inevitable. In fact, rather than congratulating me on my victory, it is better to celebrate what was achieved with the efforts of you, Lloyd, Mira, and everyone else.
Congratulations on the achievement.”
Lei Mingkai waved his hand and did not feel proud of the congratulations from Lloyd and the others.
On the contrary, judging from the performance of the new body, this is undoubtedly an inevitable result.
In particular, this machine body not only adopts Lloyd's technology, but also adopts many technologies originally designed by Mira for the Flame Demon Sword. With the combination of the two, there is no reason why it will be more powerful than the original Flame Demon Sword.
Difference.
"Well, how about we celebrate?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away.
When everyone heard this, they all looked back and were shocked, and quickly bowed and saluted.
Lloyd even slightly exaggeratedly turned towards the direction of the visitor, bowed deeply, placed his right hand on his heart, and shouted:
"Welcome to Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Earl Lloyd. Didn't I say you don't need to be so polite?"
The visitors were Euphemia, and Fianna and Cecil who were following her.
There was a hint of blame in her eyes. After scolding Lloyd a little, she looked at Lei Mingkai.
"Kai, it seems you are already familiar with this new machine."
"Yes. It went quite smoothly. This is also thanks to Earl Lloyd and the others, as well as Mira."
Lei Mingkai smiled softly, but still did not attribute the credit to himself.
Euphemia nodded slightly and turned to look at Mira, the girl whom Lei Mingkai had just recognized and whose life experience was heartbreaking.
"Mira. How does it feel to see the machine you designed succeed?"
Mira raised her head slightly and looked at the girl in front of her who was regarded as Her Majesty the Queen by Lei Mingkai, but to Mira, there was no sense of a huge gap in status.
"Yeah. Very good."
Mira had a satisfied smile on her lips.
Although the main body of this new machine body was not created by Mira, the lambda drive system, which is now the main component of its combat power, was able to solve the problem of compatibility with the original energy system with the addition of Mira.
successfully put into use.
It can be said that without Mira's active participation, this new aircraft might not have been successfully put into actual combat testing so quickly.
Both Lloyd and Mira herself knew this very well.
After a brief congratulations, the fire of fighting spirit ignited by the success of the actual combat test drove Mira into the next step of work. She seemed to like staying on Avalon more and more.
However, before Mira could start working, a strange noise suddenly came from the machine.
"Warning! Warning! The system has encountered an external invasion! The area where the core program is located is being breached!!"
The unprepared people were stunned by this sudden attack.
After being stunned for less than a few seconds, Lloyd and Mira, who were the first to react, immediately ran to the console and started relevant programs to check the body's operating system.
"Cehir, come here, I need your help."
When Lloyd saw the error message boxes popping up one after another, he immediately called his right-hand man over.
"Quick! You guys, go and connect the spare data cables!"
Cecil knew his responsibilities and immediately began to assign tasks as soon as Lloyd called.
In just a moment, the scene of congratulations unexpectedly turned into a battlefield scene that looked like a fierce battle.
"this"
Her Majesty the Queen, Euphemia, blinked, but she was not unhappy with the actions of Lloyd, Mira and others. Instead, she looked at Remingkai with some confusion.
"There may be some problems with the system."
Lei Mingkai's brows were also frowning.
But there are specialties in the art, and in terms of piloting the machine body, Lei Mingkai can surpass Lloyd and others.
But in the professional field of developing and maintaining airframes, Lei Mingkai was undoubtedly a cute little rookie watching the actions of Lloyd, Mira and others, waiting for the results to be released.
In the area beyond the reach of the eyes of Reiming Kai, Euphemia, Lloyd, Mira and others, a white figure fell as lightly as a hair into the world formed by countless data streams.
This is the virtual world formed by the central control program that controls the new machine, the machine that Euphemia calls the Sword in the Stone.
Now, falling into this virtual world, the white figure looking around is the always elusive white cat Zero.
"Huh? Is it over there?"
After looking left and right at the virtual world composed of countless data streams, White Cat Zero seemed to have found the direction of his target.
"Warning! Warning! You have violated military confidentiality regulations! Please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!!"
Before White Cat Zero took a few steps, a stream of light quickly fell from the sky, and a face gathered in front of White Cat Zero, trying to block the progress of White Cat Snacks.
The white cat Zero raised his head slightly, but a few sneers sounded from his throat.
"Hey! Let me tell you, can't you imagine another face with your stupid brain? You have to use Kai's face."
What made White Cat Zero couldn't help but laugh out loud was that the face formed by the stream of light looked somewhat similar to Lei Mingkai's face.
"Warning! Warning! Please leave immediately! Please leave immediately! Otherwise, I will take corresponding isolation measures for you in accordance with the relevant provisions of military confidentiality regulations."
White Cat Zero's sneer had no corresponding effect. The face similar to Lei Mingkai's still repeated the previous warning rigidly, which really made White Cat Zero a little bored.
"Shut up! Elm Head! I don't want to do anything to you? I just want to see the core of the lambda drive system."
The white cat Zero waved his paws in disgust, then walked forward on his own.
"Buzz!"
However,
Beams of light fell from the sky, severing all the roads in front of the White Cat Zero.
The golden pupils reflected the light beams that fuse the road ahead. White Cat Zero knew that these beams did not destroy the road, and based on the correction data, the road in front of White Cat Zero was modified and became
A data model that cannot let the White Cat Zero pass.
"Get out of the way! I'm just taking a look! I won't do anything to you or this machine at all!"
The white cat Zero put down his paws and shouted in a low voice.
"Negative! The core data of the lambda drive system is protected by military confidentiality regulations. Any unauthorized access is denied! Please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!"
That face, that is, the one whose head was turned into an elm by the white cat Zero, repeated the previous warning again.
Finally, under the warning repeated, repeated, and repeated again, White Cat Zero finally became impatient.
"Shut up! Yumuhead! I said, I'm just taking a look! If you stop me again, be careful I'll beat you up!"
White Cat Zero waved its sharp right paw.
Even in a virtual world composed of countless data streams, the power of White Cat Zero can already break through al's obstruction.
Al didn't answer, but took action to stop the white cat Zero.
Countless beams of light poured down from the sky above the face condensed by Al, surrounding White Cat Zero, as if preparing to expel White Cat Zero from this virtual world.
"It's really unreasonable! Break it for me!"
The white cat Zero's whiskers beat sharply a few times, and finally it couldn't bear it anymore and waved its claws towards the surrounding beam of light.
"Click! Click!"
In an instant, all the beams of light that were enough to hit the White Cat Zero were shattered by the White Cat Zero.
The White Cat Zero, which shattered the beam, kicked off its limbs and turned into lightning. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the condensed face of al and rushed towards the core program where the lambda drive system was located.
"Succeeded!"
However, before the White Cat Zero had time to cheer after breaking through the obstruction, al's final countermeasure came.
"This is impossible!!"
When the white cat Zero and Al were entangled in the virtual world, Lloyd's exclamation sounded.
"What's going on? Lloyd."
The situation seemed to have become very urgent, and Lei Mingkai didn't bother much about the title and directly called Lloyd by his name.
"Yes. The reason has been found. It seems that the system has been infected by some kind of program that invaded from the outside world. Now this intruding program is spreading towards the program area where the lambda drive system control program is located."
"Intrusion from the outside? Physical contact? Or network infection?"
Lei Mingkai's frown deepened.
"It should be physical contact. Apart from the radio used for communication, the new body is not connected to Avalon's command network."
Mira took over the conversation and further explained the current situation.
"Physical contact? Maybe I already know what's going on."
This answer was quite conclusive, and Lei Mingkai had already made a rough guess.
However,
Before he could start to move, Al's voice suddenly became sharp.
"Warning! Warning! The core program of this machine is about to be illegally invaded. According to the confidentiality regulations, this machine will start to self-destruct in thirty seconds! Unrelated personnel are asked to evacuate immediately away from the range of the self-destruction sound!"
"Repeat! Repeat! Warning! The core program of this machine is about to be illegally invaded. According to the confidentiality regulations, this machine will start to self-destruct in thirty seconds! Unrelated personnel are asked to evacuate immediately away from the range of the self-destruction sound!"
"What?! Self-destruct! Are you kidding me? Your Majesty, get out of here!"
Lloyd's body shook violently and he screamed in shock.
In fact, the fastest mover was Fiana, who had been silent all this time. When AL suddenly revealed that she was going to self-destruct, she grabbed Euphemia and tried to take Euphemia away without any explanation.
Lignaku.
"Wait! Fianna! It's okay."
However, Euphemia stopped Fianna's movement.
"His Majesty!"
Fianna was a little anxious.
"It's okay. Fiana, don't worry. You think so, right? Kai."
Euphemia was very calm and was not frightened by Al's declaration of self-destruction.
"Um."
Also remaining calm like her was Lei Mingkai.
After Lei Mingkai nodded slightly, he shouted loudly:
"Zero. Have you had enough trouble? Do you just want a big hole to be blown out of Avalon?"
Just as Lei Mingkai finished scolding, an unwilling voice came from inside the new machine.
"Tsk! It's not like I ate you, why don't you let me take a look?"
Immediately afterwards, in the astonished eyes of Lloyd, Cecil and others, a ball of light slowly emerged from the torso of the new machine body and slowly landed on the ground.
It is the White Cat Type Zero.
"Lord Holy Beast?!"
Lloyd and others exclaimed in surprise.
"Lord Zero?"
The same goes for Mira.
They never imagined that the culprit of the accident that caused Al to self-destruct was the White Cat Zero.
But the culprit didn't care about everyone's astonishment. Instead, he stretched his waist lazily and looked at the steel giant behind him with slight disdain.
"I just want to take a look at the information on the lambda drive system. It's not a piece of meat. Why don't you let me see it? Your elm head is no longer considered to be Mithril's AI."
"Warning! The core program of this machine is the top secret protected by military confidentiality regulations. Any unauthorized behavior will be regarded as illegal intrusion, and this machine has the right to carry out any disposal in accordance with the confidentiality regulations!"
Al's voice sounded steadily.
"Tsk! What a stupid head."
The white cat Zero snorted disdainfully, but unexpectedly when he was about to turn around and leave, a hand pinched the back of Destiny's neck.
"Zero, look what good things you have done!!"
There was a hint of anger in Lei Mingkai's voice.
"Meow~"
The white cat Zero was shaken all over and actually let out a soft, waxy milk cat meow.
Looking at the white cat Zero who was pinched by him and posing like a cute little milk cat, Lei Mingkai suddenly felt a headache.
Unexpectedly, when I wasn't paying attention, this guy who was elusive all day almost caused a big mess.
"Why are you going to harass al?"
Lei Mingkai ignored the presence of Lloyd and others and directly asked White Cat Zero.
The white cat Zero blinked and meowed softly.
It seems like he is trying to get away with being cute.
But White Cat Zero showed the wrong feelings.
Others may not know it, but Lei Mingkai, who is a member of the same destiny, knows that when the white cat Zero causes trouble, he will always pretend to be the original owner of this cute body and try to get away with it.
"Al. Tell me. What happened?"
Although things have been guessed very well, Lei Mingkai still needs to confirm.
"Knight. Just now, this machine detected an unknown program trying to crack the core program and take away the core data about the lambda drive system."
Under Al's control, the head monitor of Shi Zhongjian lowered slightly, watching Lei Mingkai's voice slowly ringing out.
"λ drive system?"
All right!
Everything is clear.
It turns out that White Cat Zero wanted information on the lambda drive system.
