Wu Qiao followed Su Yiqing all the way forward.
Su Yiqing didn't speak, neither did Wu Qiao, but Wu Qiao could feel that Su Yiqing was in a bad mood, because the faces of the people around him were always ashen, and there was always a low-pressure cyclone.
"Hello..." After a while, Wu Qiao asked softly, "Su Yiqing, are you okay?"
"Ok?"
"Are you OK?"
"Oh," Su Yiqing came back to her senses and realized that there was another person beside her, her face immediately changed into a sunny one, "Of course, what can I do?"
"... Mmm." Wu Qiao knew that Su Yiqing had always been like this. No matter what happened, he didn't want to affect other people because of him. He always pretended to be joking, as if he didn't care what happened just now. Only his friends knew that he was actually very uncomfortable.
"It's just a small quarrel." Seeing that Wu Qiao was worried, Su Yiqing took the initiative to explain to him, "There is a soldier's study activity today. The atmosphere in the base has been a bit depressing recently. I wanted to take some time to draw so I didn't go, of course it was also because Feeling bored."
"... pretending to be sick again?"
"That's right." Su Yiqing said naturally, "He said his head hurts."
"..."
"It's most effective to say that your head hurts." Su Yiqing talked about his classics of pretending to be sick again, "The structure of the brain is too complicated, and there are many problems that can't be found even if you check them. No one dares to say that you are faking."
"..."
"Other places are not so good." Su Yiqing said, "If you always have chest pains and stomach pains, but you can't find anything, it's very suspicious, and it doesn't feel right."
"..."
"Also, compared to today's pain and tomorrow's pain, I still recommend always using one disease. Our soldiers are not so weak. Either this pain or that pain is too fake."
"..." Wu Qiao interrupted him with difficulty, and asked, "And then? Let's get back to business, shall we continue talking about Ji Yao?"
"Ji Yao..." Su Yiqing said, "He said that I always don't go, I don't have a sense of identity with the group, and I always want to be alone. The group activities that everyone is looking forward to are very boring every time. He said I am an artist, the artist is always alone, there is no collective in the eyes."
"...Oh." Wu Qiao asked, "What about the reality?"
"Of course I am not!" Su Yiqing scolded Wu Qiao, "comrades are very important to me, and I have a good relationship with them! I just avoided some activities, because I am lazy by nature! Do you need to do this? Going online?!"
"Well, calm down." Wu Qiao hurriedly comforted the other party, "I didn't say anything just now, I just guided you to continue talking."
"...I believe you once."
"Then I..." Wu Qiao stopped, "Shall I go talk to Ji Yao?"
"Let's go." Su Yiqing reached out to pull Wu Qiao, grabbed his shoulder and continued walking, "It's useless if I say it, and it's even more useless if you say it."
"... also." Wu Qiao could not refute.
"He cares too much about me, so he thinks too much."
"...Huh?" Wu Qiao didn't understand this sentence.
"He felt that I wanted to be an artist, and I decided to become a soldier because of him, because he abandoned his ideals and did things he didn't like to do."
"..." Wu Qiao knew that at that time, Su Yiqing went to the military academy because of economic factors and because of Ji Yao.
"He thought I didn't want to make him feel guilty, so he said no every time." Su Yiqing said while scratching her hair, "But I'm really used to it, and I think I'm a soldier."
"..."
"He is always looking for clues, always wants to confirm that he is sorry for me, no matter what he sees, he thinks it is proof-prove that I don't like this profession! For example, I complained to him in private about the chief, which companion I have a bad attitude, I said that the training was really tiring and hard, and that I didn’t participate in the activities this time... all prove it! I have been very, very careful to make him feel at ease. I always walk on thin ice when I am at the base, but it is really hard to guard against... Just Take what happened this time as an example, you know, he also knows, I was always skipping classes in middle school! I have always been lazy than others, I thought he knew this very well! What happened, suddenly today Speaking out, he thought that serving as a soldier would cure laziness, and he would want to hang out if he had a strong sense of identity, but that's not the case at all."
"..." Wu Qiao could only try to comfort him, "If he cares, he will be chaotic... The more he likes someone, the more unreliable he is."
"I know that." Su Yiqing still put her arms around Wu Qiao's shoulders and said weakly, "Go back, go back, we'll talk about it tomorrow, now I'm all angry and can't talk about it, I'll come back when he calms down. "
"… Oh."
"Are you going back to the dormitory?"
"No." Wu Qiao shook his head, "I'm going to the training ground."
"It's so late and still training?"
"Yeah." Wu Qiao said, "I'm starting to practice brain wave manipulation now."
"Hey?!" Su Yiqing looked at Wu Qiao with a little envy in her eyes, "You're amazing... I'm starting to practice that."
"Well." Wu Qiao said, "My mental strength has passed the test, and my cooperation with Yajiu has also reached the standard. I can start practicing according to the regulations, but it is indeed very, very difficult..."
It takes repeated practice to control the movement of the mech with brain waves. After the driver gave the command, the mecha collected the brain wave signal that had been converted into electric waves, filtered out the interference mixed in it, amplified the useful signal several times, and extracted the detailed commands. The more relaxed the driver is, the more concentrated his attention will be, the clearer his instructions will be, the less interference he needs to eliminate, and the higher the speed and accuracy of the mech's response.
Wu Qiao's current level is far from enough, so he must work hard to practice more.
"Then I'll go back by myself." Su Yiqing said.
"You just finished training, I'll accompany you back, and then go to training." Wu Qiao had no intention of leaving.
"Damn, you're sick." Su Yiqing looked at Wu Qiao with disgust, "It's just a quarrel, and I can still commit suicide? What are you worried about? I'm not disabled anymore."
"..."
"Get out and go to training."
"...Oh." Wu Qiao felt the same way. It's just a quarrel, it's not like you won't even walk the road, friends are not that fragile.
"If you don't go back," Su Yiqing said again, "I'll take the 'forest' road."
Wu Qiao was taken aback: "What are you doing there in the dark? You have to go around a long way to go back to the dormitory."
The forest is said to be a forest, but it is actually made of humans. A large area of trees was even planted, a path was built in the middle, and there was a "stream". However, due to unreasonable planning, no one would go there now, let alone in the middle of the night. In that vicinity, there are only a few buildings, and almost no one is there.
Hearing Wu Qiao's question, Su Yiqing smiled: "Because it's very beautiful."
"..."
"You know, I like pretty ones."
Wu Qiao smiled: "For example, Ji Yao?"
Su Yiqing likes beautiful things, Wu Qiao has always been very clear.
Even when eating, Su Yiqing would never touch dishes that he thought were "ugly". If a pot of dumplings was boiled for too long and the skins were all torn, he would rather be hungry. The same is true for using items, only use what he thinks has a sense of design. One time he got burned, but felt that the color of the ointment was too ugly, and he firmly refused to apply it, so it took a month for him to heal. I heard from Ji Yao that when he first entered the military academy, Su Yiqing changed it himself because he thought the military uniform was ugly, and was severely punished by the military academy.
Knowing Su Yiqing's habits, Wu Qiao didn't try to persuade him any more. After saying goodbye, he went to the training ground to find Yajiu.
When Wu Qiao arrived at the training ground, Ya Jiu was sitting on the ground, holding his cheeks, waiting for Wu Qiao to call him.
Seeing Wu Qiao, it stood up unhappily: "You're late..."
"… Feel sorry."
"As soon as I finished watching TV, I ran over in a hurry. I was afraid that I would make you wait for me, but you responded like this."
Wu Qiao apologized again, and then patted Yajiu, "I hope there will be progress today."
However... things backfired.
Wu Qiao wanted Yajiu to make a zigzag march, but as a result... Yajiu seemed to be doing a Yangko dance, walking forward with his butt arched.
"...Hello!" Wu Qiao was in a hurry, and stopped the instruction, "I mean marching in Z!"
"Scared? What?" Ya Jiu was taken aback, "Then why didn't you express it clearly?"
"Isn't that clear enough?"
"I... I only extracted 'left-right-left-right-Wu Qiao, there are too many disturbances in your brain wave!"
"..."
Wu Qiao suddenly felt powerless.
Recalling the excitement when he first started training, Wu Qiao felt a little ironic. At that time, he thought that he could quickly master the technology of brain wave manipulation, but he didn't see any progress in the past two weeks.
Wu Qiao had no doubts about the tacit understanding between him and Ya Jiu. In his opinion, the problem could only be on his side.
He remembered when he was rescued on the asteroid. At that time, Tan Yan... used his mental power to manipulate dozens of dragons! At that time, many phantoms were separated from Longyuan, and Tan Yan commanded all the phantoms to participate in the battle at the same time, without any flaws! Wu Qiao felt the huge gap between him and Tan Yan.
Is he still not as talented after all? No, Wu Qiao told himself, don't think that way. He will continue to try hard until he successfully masters the brainwave manipulation, which is a must-have quality for an excellent mech pilot. The question is, how exactly should one try...
Otherwise, ask Tan Yan
Thinking of asking Tan Yan, Wu Qiao felt a little awkward.
Originally, Wu Qiao thought that Tan Yan took good care of him because he was optimistic about him and that he would become an excellent officer, but now everything suddenly became different from the past. He found that Tan Yan had always... liked himself.
In this way, I suddenly felt that if I asked him for help again, I felt as if I was using the other party, using the other party's own favor to benefit myself.
What should I do…
After struggling for a long time, Wu Qiao decided to ask.
Just asking from experience...should be ok
"Brain wave control?" Tan Yan asked, "Have you started practicing?"
"right."
"Come on." Tan Yan sighed, "It's quite difficult."
"..."
"You are just the first step." Tan Yan said, "When you are actually on the battlefield, you will be disturbed a lot—observing changes in the situation, formulating strategies and tactics, thinking about how to act, and listening to the commander's orders... At the same time, you have to Your mecha gives instructions. At the moment when you give instructions, you can’t think about other things, otherwise useless information will accumulate, making it more difficult for the mecha to remove interference. The most important thing for brain wave manipulation is to be clear. Give an order It only takes a split second, but at that time you have to let go of other things. You must never say that you let Crow Nine dodge to the left while still thinking in your mind that the next step is to dodge to the right... This is left and right again , the brain waves will be very complicated. You have to completely think about the left side, and then completely think about the right side. As for analyzing the situation, making plans, etc., all are completed between different commands, which is completely different from manual operation and voice operation. It’s different. Don’t be afraid, the advantage of brain wave manipulation is that it’s fast. Once you’re proficient, giving instructions takes almost no time. Don’t think that these operations will delay your thinking. In fact, it’s just the opposite, and you’ll have more time for it. Think about your strategy, just master the quick transitions, it takes a lot of mental strength."
"..." Wu Qiao was completely dumbfounded.
Now, without any interference, he still can't understand it.
Tan Yan, why is it possible to operate dozens of dragons at the same time? !
"So," Tan Yan said again, "this will take time, don't be in a hurry."
"...Hello." Wu Qiao said anxiously, "Admiral Tan Yan, I want to ask, how did you do it at that time? My practice didn't make any progress..."
"Me?" Tan Yan recalled, "It's just... not only to practice concentration during training, but also to exercise by yourself in daily life, so as to improve yourself all the time."
"...Huh?" Wu Qiao didn't understand, "Usually? How do I do it?"
"It's quite simple." Tan Yan said, "Practice anti-interference and concentration."
"... how to do that?"
Tan Yan said: "... let me help you."
"Ok?"
"For example," Tan Yan said, "playing music loudly while concentrating on reading a book, asking myself to read it all in an hour and memorize all the plots."
"Well… "
"Here's a book for you to read. I'll check your level first." Tan Yan said, "Ask questions in an hour, and you will answer my questions."
"Okay." Wu Qiao nodded.
About five minutes later, Tan Yan sent a book: "Surely you haven't read this one?"
Wu Qiao took a closer look and found that the cover was orange, thinking that he must have never read it. What he often reads are military books and biographies of celebrities, and they are basically in black, blue, etc. or gray, white, etc. light colors.
Wu Qiao looked at the title of the book again, and thought it looked familiar. He thought for a long time, and finally remembered—isn't this my sister's favorite book? This was the top book of that year, and it is still a classic love story until now. It is said that anyone who reads it will cry. Wu Qiao remembered very clearly that after reading this book, her sister was so moved that her eyes were swollen for several days, she immediately ran to genetic matching, and suddenly became a wedding fanatic. "I want to get married after reading this" seems to be the most common comment on this book.
"This..." Wu Qiao hesitated, "It's a love story."
"Yeah." Tan Yan nodded, "I don't think you've seen it."
"Yes, but... Will it be a waste of time to see?" Wu Qiao never wastes time, he thinks time is the most precious thing.
"Otherwise, what will I give you?" Tan Yan's tone seemed to think that Wu Qiao was stupid, "Did you know the plot from the beginning? This is how you can tell your level?"
"... Oh." Wu Qiao was right after thinking about it, so he stretched out his hand and set the timer to an hour, "Then... general... I'm going to start reading hard."
"...Yes." Tan Yan said, "You study hard."
"Ok."
After Wu Qiao finished speaking, he turned to the first page.
But despite talking about concentrating, he found he couldn't.
—He always thinks of Tan Yan.
When he reads that the male protagonist has beautiful eyes, he will think of Tan Yan's eyes; when he reads that the male protagonist is decisive, he will also think of Tan Yan's appearance; Sometimes when describing hugs and kisses, he even wants to talk about what it will be like, and then feels very ashamed immediately.
Just like that, time passed while Wu Qiao's face turned red and white.
At the end of an hour, not even half of it.
Tan Yan sighed: "This book doesn't have many words, you are really... far behind."
"..." Don't even need to ask questions...
"Take your time." Tan Yan smiled self-deprecatingly after speaking, "Fortunately, waiting for you has become my best thing now."
"..." Wu Qiao felt that Tan Yan's words were a bit of a pun, so he didn't dare to answer them.
"There are many other methods." Tan Yan said to Wu Qiao, "At ordinary times, pay more attention, don't just count on the moment of formal practice."
"Other ways? For example?"
"For example, quickly find the number you want among many numbers... text is also fine. Another example, find the person you are looking for among many people's photos... By the way, for example, it's like this."
Wu Qiao raised his eyes and saw a photo.
Tan Yan smiled: "Let's use this as an example... This is a group photo of my graduation from military school. There are more than a thousand graduates. As an exercise, I can ask you to find out where I am within the specified time, but today is Forget it first."
Wu Qiao raised his hand: "Here."
Refers to the formal talk about Yan.
Tan Yan is not much different from his current appearance.
"...Huh?" Tan Yan took a look, only to realize that it was right. He said, "You're a bit strong this time."
"..." Wu Qiao didn't know why, he just found the other party at a glance. In Wu Qiao's eyes, all the other people seemed to have no color, very blurred, and he could only see Tan Yan.
"Also," Tan Yan said on the face-to-face, "Observe a person or an object carefully within a certain period of time, and finally draw all the features. There are many, many more. Nothing to interfere with the mecha."
"… I see."
…
While Wu Qiao was studying how to improve, on the other side, Su Yiqing was also walking towards the dormitory.
