Chapter 202: Analysis
Tieria stared intently at Xiao Ran, unable to understand why even someone like him could not fully operate the GN-BITs, while an ordinary person—one who had not developed toward becoming an Innovator—could accomplish such an impossible feat using an unknown method without VEDA's assistance.
Faced with Tieria's question, Xiao Ran had no intention of hiding anything. He had a clear idea of how he could fully operate the GN-BITs. Without using Spirit Burst, he relied on the Quick Lock skill. When using Spirit Burst, even without Quick Lock, he relied on the Spatial Recognition Ability provided by Space Combat Proficiency.
In space, people lost the visual illusion caused by air, where distant objects appeared blurry and nearby objects clear. It became difficult to judge the positions of objects at varying distances. With no reference points, and no real distinction between up, down, left, and right, it was even harder to clearly grasp one's own position. The ability to swiftly determine an object's position was exceptional spatial awareness—the Spatial Recognition Ability mentioned in the skill.
With this ability, visual illusions would no longer have much effect on Xiao Ran. The lack of reference points would cause no inconvenience either. He could clearly distinguish a sensed up, down, left, and right. As for what exactly that sensation was, Xiao Ran could not explain it. He could not put it into words, but that did not affect his ability to use it.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran said to Tieria, "It's a very special ability, an ability to recognize space. In outer space, without relying on the mecha's system analysis or lock-on functions, I can accurately determine an opponent's position and distance. I can also easily sense how far the GN-BITs need to move, or how they need
