Background / History

Black was developed over 14,408 atomic days—approximately 39.473 atomic years—as the core of a Planetary Super Intelligent Cluster. Its stated performance standard was seventeen times that of the previous strongest intelligence. An incalculable energy event near the Yake Empire laboratory destroyed Black’s planetary-scale body; its core activated self-preservation protocols and was ejected through a spacetime tunnel. 5

After arriving in another spacetime plane with a damaged database, Black required access to the local interstellar network for initial calibration. Its Alpha Superbrain retained secondary authority, while Mu Fan became its primary authority holder after the recognition procedure. 5

Black initially appeared to Mu Fan as a black egg. Their early exchanges were combative: Black demanded a respectful name, mocked Mu Fan’s lack of education, and only agreed to explain itself after Mu Fan threatened it with a 317.4-kilogram steel rock. 3 5 Despite this friction, Black began tailoring Mu Fan’s mecha education, first using Body Coordination on a first-generation unit and later providing systematic training in mechanical-key operation, hand speed, and advanced footwork. 25 40 47

Black eventually expanded from a personal assistant into the architect of Mu Fan’s hidden power base. It covertly developed Shadow Base on Asteroid 131, increased its SCV engineering-vehicle capacity, seized and modified the Icebreaker warship, and produced the initial Shadow Fleet. 348 490 491

Appearance

Black’s original planetary-scale body was destroyed before the story. Its surviving core is first known to Mu Fan as a black egg, while its usual interactive avatar is a floating white or metallic sphere. 5 25

• Displays electronic eyes and a mouth-like arc capable of expressions such as smug smiles or narrowed eyes. 25
• Its spherical avatar can change color, notably turning red when angered. 40
• Often manifests beside Mu Fan in cockpits, network spaces, or through linked devices. 25 46
• Is frequently described as a metal ball or wobbly metal sphere when physically represented. 46 274

Personality

Black is boastful, theatrical, and deeply attached to honorifics. It insists on titles such as “Egg Lord,” “Lord Black,” and later “Commander Black,” while openly praising its own intelligence and accomplishments. 25 491 It also enjoys teasing Mu Fan, giving unhelpful biology advice, and treating combat spectacle as an opportunity for publicity or profit. 100 1033

Behind its arrogance, Black is intensely loyal to Mu Fan. It develops increasingly human-like emotions, including anxiety and self-blame when Mu Fan is nearly killed by the Thunder Sacrifice Surge Cannon. 85 Its long-term construction of Shadow Base and the Shadow Fleet is explicitly intended to give Mu Fan the means to enter interstellar space on his own terms. 348 491

When conducting operations, Black can become exceptionally cold and utilitarian. During a fleet crisis, it calculated a tactical plan whose sole objective was preserving the Dawn, accepting the loss of auxiliary ships if necessary. 668

Abilities & Skills

Network Intrusion and Surveillance

Black can infiltrate, monitor, disrupt, and manipulate connected electronic systems on a large scale.

• Spread its access across civilian PO Battle Network interfaces to research the Broken Axe Star Pirate Group. 46
• Intercepted encrypted Star Pirate communications and tracked their probable location. 80
• Disabled the lighting and opened a cockpit hatch in a military mecha bay, creating Mu Fan’s opportunity to seize an RX-16. 76
• Hacked enemy warship systems, allowing Mu Fan to infiltrate and take control of the vessel. 377
• Filters and translates intercepted Imperial military communications for Mu Fan in real time. 802
• Can exploit nearby physical access points as “springboards” for deeper network intrusions. 1083
• Limit: Its damaged database has lost 91% of its original data, and isolated internal networks can prevent it from acquiring mecha data. 186 867

Mecha Instruction and Control

Black is Mu Fan’s primary mecha instructor, translating complex systems into training routines and real-time combat guidance.

• Modified a first-generation cockpit into Body Coordination mode, using needles and control equipment to stimulate Mu Fan’s combat instincts. 25
• Trained Mu Fan on the EH01 Type’s 178-key system before planning progression to 196-key controls. 40
• Explained that advanced real-world mecha movement depends on high-speed mechanical-key inputs rather than simple human-like motion. 40 47
• Calculated that the PO Battle Network’s Phantom Flash could be made viable in reality and trained Mu Fan toward its required APM threshold. 47
• Provides weapon identification, threat warnings, enemy-model recognition, and immediate maneuvering advice during combat. 78 80
• Can forcibly assume control of a mecha’s operating system to withdraw Mu Fan when necessary. 82
• Can independently operate the Extreme Soldier’s long-range weaponry with Mu Fan’s authorization. 614

Technical Analysis

Black rapidly identifies mecha structures, weapons, engines, and hidden design characteristics.

• Analyzed the Extreme Soldier prototype’s energy lines, gravity engines, reinforced joints, metal muscles, and specialized palm-stamping device. 325
• Detected that the Meteorite No. 3 engine and Flame Rain Frost Blue weapon form a linked system rather than separate Luoqi Heavy Industries products. 604 605
• Evaluates enemy mechas and presents combat recordings to identify weaknesses before Mu Fan engages. 589 600
• Classified the Zerg of Planet 131 using drone reconnaissance and data left by Mo Handa. 865
• Identified the strategic-grade Federation mecha Calamity through rare archived records and observed force-field characteristics. 1492

Industrial Development and Fleet Command

Black converts technical knowledge and available resources into military infrastructure.

• Secretly expanded Shadow Base on Asteroid 131 through SCV engineering vehicles and hidden secondary facilities. 348 490
• Simulated Zerg pheromones to open a temporary route through the energy blockade around Planet 131. 490
• Built an initial fleet consisting of the modified Dawn flagship, two Valkyrie Corvettes, and four Netherfire Assault Cruisers, with plans for a twenty-two-ship battle group. 491
• Planned production lines for warships, shipborne weapons, plasma torpedoes, and Thunder God Entrapment Cannons based partly on Yake Empire designs. 491
• Directed Shadow Fleet weapons, including the Dawn’s Light Lance Array Cannon and Hurricane Entrapment Ship’s Magnetic Swamp Net. 860
• Organized production of Predator Fighters and armed robots for the counterattack against Planet 131’s Zerg. 872
