Chapter 204

"That's right," Rita said, "But the clogs on her feet are not only like boats, but also provide enough buoyancy to support her standing on the water."

"She has tested it herself and can stand on the water and move at high speed."

"The mode of movement looks more like ice skating."

This Mamiya has already been tested in the swimming pool on the Hyperion. Of course, it was only for testing its ability to move on the water.

It's very fast.

How fast?

The speed made Mamiya feel like he wasn't a ship, but a seaplane.

I haven't tested full speed, but the normal cruising speed can reach 600 km/h. That's not even the speed of a boat! But think about it, imagine putting the power of a boat into propelling a human-shaped object.

More importantly, the total weight of this humanoid object, including its naval equipment, does not exceed 65 kilograms.

100,000 horsepower to drive an object that weighs only 65 kilograms.

Rounding it up, that's one-tenth of Astro Boy!

The resulting effects are naturally very obvious.

Even without using naval guns, its power is terrifying.

"Is this the new Valkyrie Battle Suit made by Doctor Mei?" Otto asked, seemingly quite interested in the equipment. "If I remember correctly, Doctor Mei can also make some Valkyrie Battle Suit, right?"

It seems that Doctor Mei has also done some research on this.

"This...I...I'm not quite sure." Rita shook her head and said, "I haven't seen the doctor research this before."

It looks like it comes with it by default.

Rita didn't say it aloud, but she had a vague feeling that because of this peculiar image, the actual situation wasn't what Lord Otto imagined.

Reincarnation... is it really reincarnation?

Rita sensed something was wrong, because everything was fine before, but this time it was different—it came with its own equipment!

This outfit doesn't look like something a Honkai researcher would create.

It looks like a different kind of technological product.

"Lord Otto." Rita hesitated for a moment when she thought of technology. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to tell Otto about it.

"What is it?" Otto did not put down the photo in his hand.

He was very curious about what he was carrying in this reincarnation.

"Perhaps it's just my imagination," Rita said after carefully recalling her observations of the image. "I feel she looks more like..."

"Approaching... approaching... Ai- Hyperion."

"Is that so?" Otto didn't seem to refute it; in fact, he agreed, saying, "I could tell he wasn't human either."

"It seems my judgment was correct; I could tell at a glance that she wasn't human."

"It must be one of Doctor Mei's technological creations, right?"

Regarding the Valkyrie armor and weapons, Otto wasn't entirely sure how far Doctor Mei had progressed in her research. But she certainly possessed incredibly advanced biotechnology skills.

That's incredibly advanced technology.

"This..." Rita said, "No, she is not a highly intelligent AI like Ai- Hyperion."

"She herself needs to eat."

"But...I..." Rita scratched her head and said, "I've seen her try to chew on the guns and ammunition stored in the Hyperion."

To be precise, Mamiya went to browse the armory, and Rita naturally followed. Mamiya looked like he was browsing through a market, picking and choosing items.

They even put it in their mouths to taste it.

Of course, I didn't actually see it being eaten.

But Rita was 100% certain that when Mamiya looked at her, it was like someone who hadn't eaten for days had barged into a buffet! She wasn't there to pick out a suitable weapon.

It's all about eyeing the delicious food, ready for a feast at any moment!

Moreover, some weapons and ammunition were indeed mysteriously missing from the armory after that day.

Rita felt it was highly likely that she had been eaten by Mamiya!

The reason is simple: you just visited the armory, what's with the way you look at the food? How come you're losing things here after you finished visiting the armory?

This is all such a coincidence.

Aside from the lack of evidence, Rita was convinced that it must have been eaten by Mamiya.

"Eat it?" Otto asked curiously. "Are you sure she can eat these things?"

"This... I don't know." Rita shook her head and said, "I've never seen it, it's just a feeling."

You can't say something as fact without evidence, but it's not impossible to share your feelings.

"By the way," Rita said, "The source of her equipment's power seems to be quite ordinary."

"Honkai Energy?" That was the first thing Otto thought of.

"No," Rita shook her head and said, "It's coal and marine fuel oil."

"Heavy oil?" Otto said, somewhat surprised. "They actually use that?"

Honkai Energy has been used as an energy source for a relatively short time, but now it is primarily used to Honkai Energy large-scale equipment. Smaller, high-energy-output devices also utilize Honkai Energy.

Although Honkai Energy is widely used, this does not mean that oil is useless.

Oil is the lifeblood of industry, not just a fuel.

Of course, it also has a wide range of uses as fuel.

Heavy oil, the heavy oil remaining after refining petroleum into gasoline and diesel, is widely used in large transport ships. Coal, on the other hand, is now mainly used as an energy source in thermal power plants.

Oil and coal can be used as energy sources for this type of personal device.

Moreover, it uses a device energy source that looks similar to Valkyrie armor.

"Are you sure?" Otto said. "This is not something to be taken lightly."

"How's its attack power?"

Otto immediately realized the value of this thing!

This world isn't just seemingly trapped in a vicious cycle; it's truly caught in one! Current understanding is that only Honkai can counteract Honkai. The deeper humanity researches Honkai Energy, the more dependent it becomes, and the more Honkai is used to fight Honkai, the stronger Honkai.

This looks like Honkai, self-destructive fight between the left and right hands.

If we don't break free from our heavy reliance on Honkai Energy.

The fight against the Honkai is actually just a cycle.

Eliminating a Honkai event and a Herrscher only results in waiting for the next Honkai event or the next Herrscher to appear.

Even those Valkyrie trained to fight against the Honkai are themselves potential Herrscher!

But what if we could move beyond the use of Honkai Energy?

That would break this seemingly unsolvable vicious cycle at its core.

"I don't know," Rita shook her head and said, "I haven't seen any attack methods."

"Oh..." Otto put down the photo and said, "Then... this might be a big toy that Kallen made."

For example, models? Or certain special toys.

This type also exists in the model.

"Is there anything else about her that you need to report?" Otto asked, noticing Rita's hesitation as if she was about to speak.

"A little." Rita finally pulled out a document and said, "Her character has a name: 'Mamiya'."

"Mamiya?" Otto said. "Sounds like Area 11. Is that the full name?"

"Yes," Rita nodded and said, "I don't have a surname, this is my full name."

"She hopes to apply to open a restaurant on the ship."

"Ha." Otto chuckled and said, "Unless Kallen comes to apply in person, these reincarnation applications will never be approved."

"You know how to do it, right?"

"Just like before," Otto said without even looking at her. "Just agree on the surface, and actually take off your clothes as much as you can."

"But." Rita knew Otto's attitude, and so did Mamiya.

"Whether you agree to this application or not," Rita said, "Mamiya has already opened his own restaurant."

"She converted part of her laboratory into a restaurant."

"Her cooking is very delicious."

"Very popular with the Valkyrie."

"You dismantled it yourself?" Otto sensed something was off and said, "Are you sure? Where did the materials for this modification come from? And are you sure someone came to help with that thing the Doctor made?"

"Provided by an anonymous friend of World Serpent," Rita explained.

"Moreover, the environment created by the doctor this time was unexpected."

"Very beautiful."

Chapter 235 Back in the Team

Today looks like a good day.

That's at least from Bronya's perspective.

She's been in the hospital long enough; she's finally going back to the Hyperion.

Standing on the Hyperion's helipad, Bronya felt a mix of excitement and unease. This was her first return to the Hyperion since the Moon Throne mission.

However, this time it wasn't so glorious.

A spy.

Spies are nothing rare. If an organization doesn't have one or two spies, then that organization can hardly be considered a prestigious one.

Of course, this is assuming that the rest of the organization, besides the leader, driver, workers, and the crazy woman, are all spies and undercover agents.

Is this organization not a large-scale spy organization, but rather an undercover exchange meeting?

Well, I wonder what the one who actually does the work thinks, but I guess if the one who does the work finds out one day that their boss is also an undercover agent...

He'll probably just say "oh" and then go up to the rooftop.

But then again...

People have a love-hate relationship with undercover agents.

Nobody likes having spies in their organization except themselves, but people also really like having spies in their opposing organizations except for the leader.

The orders issued by the leader are planned, relayed, arranged, and executed by undercover agents.

The order was already on the table in the enemy organization's own hands before it even reached the enemy's grassroots units.

This is something that is very welcome to see.

The issue of whether someone is an undercover agent boils down to their position.

Are there any people on the Hyperion who are loyal to one side but secretly loyal to the other? Of course, there are, and probably quite a few. But none of them are like myself, who, having exposed my identity, dared to return.

If an undercover agent is exposed, they will either be arrested or expelled.

What kind of people will be arrested, and what kind of people will be expelled?

Bronya understood the underlying meaning perfectly.

She belonged to another category: neither arrested nor expelled. The category where she would remain! The reason was simply because she was Valkyrie.

Bronya was well aware of the preciousness of a Valkyrie.

That's why Cocolia sent me here in the first place.
