Mission Reward (Part 2)

"."

At that moment.

As he looked at the words floating before him.

Xu Yun felt more than surprise. What he felt, instead, was a subtle sense of relief.

Then Xu Yun ran his hand over the cover of the file in front of him and sighed softly.

"Just as I thought."

That was right.

In fact, even before the contents of the folded file had appeared—or, more precisely, when he had seen the results of the deduction earlier—Xu Yun had already begun to guess what the reward might be.

After all,

Dayu had managed to build the Nuwa mecha back in 1999. It was bound to involve some kind of black technology.

Of course,

that black technology definitely wasn't some so-called operating system.

Thanks to anime and movies like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Pacific Rim, many people had a wildly mistaken understanding of the technical barriers involved in building a mecha.

For example, Xu Yun had once written about mecha in a novel in his previous life. Although he'd used a simple formula at the time to explain why the materials were so complex, some readers had stubbornly insisted that the operating system was the most complicated part, and so on.

But in reality,

several mecha operating systems had already been designed by around 2020, and related papers had even been published.

Two typical examples were 10.1019/J.JWPE.2023.10327 and 10.1016/J.JNGSE.2021.104332. Both papers presented detailed designs.

Neither system involved any supposed neural-sensing technology. The core problem they needed to solve was miniaturizing the computing power.

As long as you had enough computing power, a machine could react far faster than a human. Some electric cars could already manage millisecond-level responses in assisted driving by 2023, let alone a high-cost machine like a mecha.

For instance, the F35 Across the sea had
