Chapter 321 – 1. Knives (7)※
Battle suit.
It is similar to the one worn by the main character hero in the movie called Steel Man, one of the most popular movies in the 21st century.
In addition to the suits worn in everyday life, a heavily armored suit equipped exclusively for combat.
It is a suit only for combat, equipped with various auxiliary functions necessary for combat, not just for defense.
Of course, the suit alone has basic equipment for various combat auxiliary functions such as Psi blades and launchers, and it was also possible to link these additional equipment to the suit itself, so the instructors’ recommendation was excellent.
The material of the Devil Shrimp is very good, but once it is encountered, it is very expensive to receive damage of half to medium damage to a moderate fleet. Since the cost was far too low to restore, the Devil Shrimp was like a beast in many ways.
I want to find the material, but I don’t want to meet it.
In the end, there was a situation where the demand was overflowing but the supply was too limited, and the price skyrocketed.
What price is it?
Even if it wasn’t for a mid-to-large-sized spacecraft with a distance of over 1,000 kilometers like the school here, it was large enough to be the size of a typical private house.
At most the size of a suitcase. In reality, the battle suits waiting like suitcases are more than 12km long if they are small. If it was a little bigger, it seemed that it had the same price as a spaceship that was a little over 40 km.
The exact price of this red battle suit is unknown, as Yuria also heard about the battle suit in detail, but in fact, the technology applied to the suit is different, and it seems that only the price of the refined artifacts of the devil shrimp that went into the suit is about that.
After gulp, put your hand on the battle suit, imprint the user, and activate the suit. The battle suit, which was in the form of a suitcase, was shattered and completely covered his body from fingertips to toes.
The feeling of meticulously covering her whole body from head to toe was really very reassuring.
I felt like I could do anything now.
Indeed, this is why soldiers care so much about equipment.
It will be two or three years later that I will be using this suit in earnest, but I am starting to look forward to it.
How helpful this suit will be to you when you go on a mission in earnest one day.
And a little bit of expectation was born.
If I see them doing so well, I wonder if they will reduce the number of surgeries or experiments, or at least give me anesthesia.
Wheein! Kagagak!!
“Geukgeuk!… Gee!”
There was no such thing.
Maybe I’m like this, but when I saw that I was doing this, I wondered if they would treat me like a human being even a little bit, but it seems that it was just that they paid more attention to me when I realized that combat weapons were more usable than I thought.
I’ll give you anesthesia. The anesthesia will be fixed, and it will be better now, but in the moment I lost my guard, my eyes were shaken mercilessly at the saw and blade that mercilessly cut my side raw.
As if slaughtering an animal, the arms fell apart in an instant, and the front of the chest was dismantled in an instant along the joint with muscles and bones. I cried and cried, and whether I did or not, I cut open the middle of the abdomen and opened it wide to expose the intestines.
Numerous robot arms and all sorts of instruments follow my stomach. The internal organs were dug out, drugs were injected, psychic stimulation was applied, and the organs were teased, and Yuria just giggled and trembled like a dying fish with only her torso and head remaining.
“Ugh, ugh… Ugh… Turn it off…”
For some reason, all of these things felt more painful today.
Everyday life after that passed without any special bar.
As if having a little hope and then falling hurts more than just constantly falling to the bottom, having a vague expectation that the treatment of herself would improve even a little bit, but after that expectation was betrayed, Yuria became more and more hopeless.
She even came to her fear of what to do if the meta aquatase in the PX disappeared at some point or if she herself was banned from using the PX.
If she didn’t even have meta aquatase in her own life now, what kind of pleasure would she live with became dark before her eyes.
Even as she slurped and ate, she had the pitiful thought that this might be the last time, chewing slowly to savor even a little more, but the happy time passed too quickly.
After finishing her meal, she was teaching her juniors what she had learned and learned to her juniors, who were similar in age to herself, when one of her juniors raised her hand.
“What?”
“Does Instructor have a boyfriend?”
In response to that question, the entire training ground was full of whistles and teasing sounds.
“That’s a stupid question. Like all of you, this instructor is a full-fledged soldier, even though he is a student. He has completed all the education and training courses and is just training to not forget his senses. A soldier”
“It has nothing to do with my boyfriend.”
“Soldiers don’t date”
At those words, the expressions of her juniors turned a little blue.
“I-really?”
“If you want to play house games like dating, stop right now. The door to exit is over there.”
Despite her words, Yuria was very envious of her juniors in her heart.
Rather…
If only I had a choice…
However, unlike Yuria’s inner thoughts, her face was completely iron-blooded.
A hard look from her cold, hardened heart.
“Then, did Instructor have an ideal type?”
The question has changed. From Do you have an ideal type to Do you have an ideal type?
At those words, Yuria was unable to say anything for a moment.
“There was”
“Wow… How was it?”
“He was such a trashy ideal type. He was the worst for a soldier.”
At those words, the atmosphere of her juniors turned cold again.
“For a soldier, it will be helpful to get rid of such useless emotions or values as soon as possible in the future. Even though it is said that it was a one-time battle for self-defense, this is advice as someone who has gone through a real battle.”
After that, her juniors no longer asked questions in terms of boyfriends and all.
But why?
It was as if I was on my own. The existence of a boyfriend.
No.
A person who has a very deep, deep, solid bond that lacks the lukewarm word of boyfriend.
Although the time was terribly slow, she passed so steadily that she wondered when it had flowed this way.
YuRia couldn’t believe that she was already 19 years old and that she was just about to graduate.
The years have passed.
“Coke…”
She still couldn’t forget the sensation of her ribs being lifted out and her lungs inflating like balloons, and her chest tickled for some reason.
A few slaps of her fist around the center of her collarbone made her feel a little calmed down.
Now that she’s slowly preparing to send me out into the real world, Yuria, who is heading for the monitoring station outside the spaceship because she’s going to conduct an experiment to find out how much my maximum output is, was curious as herself.
Because he had never used his power with all his might before, he didn’t know what his limits were.
As Yuria stood in front of the door leading to the outside of the spaceship, the battle suit that was waiting on the other side of the space began to cover Yuria’s body.
Chunk.
In an instant, the battle suit worn while wrapping Yuria’s body was divided into numerous pieces for the first time, and at the moment of being summoned, the basic color was red. .
Basically, the overall color is white and the first point color is light blue. And the second point. The color of the thickest part changed to black.
Looking at herself through her psychic powers through the eyes of a third person, Yuria felt a bit bitter.
After doing this, it reminded me of the red giant android robot that had its body torn apart and its internal organs eaten by a number of giant android robots from ancient anime.
Of course, in terms of her design, it wasn’t that old-fashioned design, but it was bittersweet that the situation of the robot and her own situation were no different.
Finally, a helmet in the shape of a circlet was put on her head, and the Psi screen visor came down to cover her face, confirming that it was completely blocked from the outside, and quietly opened the door.
YuRia, who walked on the outer wall of the spaceship for a while, looked around as she landed on the outer wall of the spaceship with the ability to float up and down on the outer wall of the spaceship. .
Although it is a huge spaceship that is over a thousand kilometers long, even such a spacecraft felt small when looking at the vast universe that houses it.
The world I lived in was very small.
After falling from the spaceship for a while, YuRia hurriedly flew after it, feeling as if the spaceship was rapidly moving away.
Flying on top of a spacecraft was a different feeling than she thought.
When she fell off the spaceship, she was flying while maintaining a separate inertia from the spaceship, so it was a little strange to change her position through deceleration and acceleration while maintaining the relative speed with the spaceship rather than flying above the spaceship.
The feeling of normal flight and flight in space were so different that I thought that if I hadn’t been familiar with outer space, I might have missed the spacecraft and lost the space if I flew wrongly.
‘It’s a bit scary’
However, she was different from what she thought, and she immediately got a feel for it.
Unlike when flying inside the ship, you can fly with the feeling that you are following the ship by driving a small spaceship.
As they flew along with the spacecraft, Yuria felt strange as she saw the ability measurement compartment mounted on top of the school ship.
As soon as I got down to the measurement compartment exposed to the outer space, the feeling of flying and the feeling of joining the inertia of the spacecraft were momentarily confused.
「Yuria Averia. We start measuring abilities」
She still didn’t know what level she was on her own, so she lightly raised her psychic energy to the level she used to use in class and formed a small orb.
-11.39 Psi
Seeing her figure floating in the air, Yuria accurately set her orb’s output to 10 Psi, and she remembered the sensation accurately.
That this is 10 Psi
She started to ramp up the output of her Psychic Orb gradually. She even prepared to throw herself off the back of the ship if the situation had to pass.
The orb, which had been growing between her hands, raised to about the height of her chest, was no longer able to hold between her hands, so she lifted her hands up and moved them over her head, increasing in size.
-3,127… 5,547… 11,228…
The number unit that had been rapidly adding up to the number began to change into a dizzying number before I knew it.
-9M Psi (M = Million Million)
-2B Psi (B = Billion)
-3T Psi (T = Trillion tank)
-5T… 6T… 9T Psi…
As the psychic output reached trillions of units, the speed at which the output increased gradually decreased, but even so, the psychic output was still rising, and everyone who saw it looked at the scene without shutting their mouths.
“What was the maximum output of the military academy’s ship?”
「It was 256B (256 billion)」
Everyone could not keep their mouths shut that the output of an individual already far exceeded that of an academy belonging to the mid-to-large class, even though it was not a battleship, nor a large or super-large ship.
“I’m only 16B”
Of course, I had heard that the elite soldiers active on the front line displayed quite a large battleship-level output, but this girl was already far beyond that.
-101T Psi… 102T Psi…
“Turn it off… 」
-1Q 121T Psi… 1Q 124T Psi… (Q = Quadrillion trillion)
It seemed that it was difficult to raise the output anymore, but the output was still going up.
-2Q 2T Psi
「Huh!!」
In the end, Yuria couldn’t handle increasing her power anymore and threw it at the back of the ship.
「Huh! Heo!!”
Yuria, who had concentrated her output to the limit, felt her head dizzy from the exhaustion that came to her. Staggering forward, he hooked the rope on the hook in front of her eyes.
She snapped, and as soon as the line was hooked, Yuria stumbled, her feet falling off the outer wall of her hull, and she was left dangling from the ship.
She didn’t lose consciousness, but as if she was completely exhausted, Yuria gasped for her rough breath. She couldn’t even open her eyes, she just gasped for her breath.
“Two thousand and two trillion… 」
“Eh, it’s not like a fortress… 」
It was also an output that could only come from a super-sized fortress that exists only in the main bases among fortresses.
Of course, the super-large fortress maintains its output at all times, and that child is different in that he collapsed after generating that output once, but anyway, the fact that he produced a super-large fortress-level output in a human form even for an instant is shocking in itself. Was
“Normally, it is possible to maintain about 1/10 of the maximum output at all times, so about 200T is the normal output?”
“It’s super battleship class, that’s it”
Ultra-high-performance battleships that are said to be the height of inefficiency made by focusing only on performance while ignoring production costs for some special purpose.
Since those battleships had an output of approximately 100 to 300T, it could be seen that the girl’s abilities were exactly the same as those super battleships.
「What was the maximum output of the hero who disappeared before?」
「1Q 873T」
“However, considering that the man was actually reaching his growth limit and he was a child who hadn’t even reached an adult yet… 」
Everyone gulped and swallowed.
Being an adult does not mean that you can no longer grow, it just means that your immature body that has not yet been completed has finally matured, and even after that, you have been able to achieve further growth in your abilities.
In fact, I heard that even the now-disappeared hero had just started to build a reputation on the battlefield and had less than 1Q output.
“If you do well, you can grow up to 10Q units, right?”
“Since the super fortress class is 1-3Q, is it really a human-sized super fortress?”
“Wait a minute. The story of the hero still passing 1Q at the 100T unit level was when he was an adult. It is over thousands of years old.”
Everyone was suddenly horrified by him.
Doesn’t it grow to QQ level? (QQ = Quintillion quintillion)
Among the psychic units of measurement, the QQ was still a theoretical unit.
Of course, there was only one QQ-class, no QQ-class ship.
However, rather than saying that it was developed, it is just a ship, a fortress, and something that was able to be built because it was accidentally discovered in this vast universe and the conditions were right.
Wouldn’t it be rude to compare Dyson’s spear-type causal incineration weapon Methuselah, which was originally created by processing an ultra-large black hole, with a power source that can be created by individuals or humans?
It is an output that exceeds S (sextillion 10 years) and even SS (septillion [10^24] Characters).
Already, this is a guy that is difficult to express in general units.
In order to create something similar to this again, it is necessary to find a super-large black hole that will have a small impact on the order of the universe even if it is processed again and is separated from the place.
At last. Excluding black hole structures or weapons like Methuselah, the maximum growth that could be expected from a girl meant that she was more powerful than anything mankind had ever created.
“I feel like I can understand a little why the superiors tried to destroy this child’s mind so much.”
“… 」
“Even so, this treatment is hard to understand… 」
The girl’s status far exceeds that of a tactical weapon, and is a strategic weapon. No, even among those strategic weapons class, even if it was an existence that should be compared to a weapon made for war deterrence, not for mutual expansion and destruction, that child was still a young girl with a decent personality.
That’s why they understand the decision of the top, but it was difficult to convince.
I wondered if there really was no other way.
After a while, Yuria, who had been dragged limply by the wire hanging from the wire as if she had regained her energy, looked a bit tired, but stood on her feet again, unhooked her wire from the hook, and slowly started walking back toward the aisle.
Perhaps it was because she still lacked the strength to fly like she did before, but Yuria’s trudging and struggling appearance somehow made everyone feel sorry for her.
If it wasn’t for an order from the upper level, I’d want to get out of the hull right now and bring it in.
After walking for a long time and returning with difficulty, the girl couldn’t overcome even the artificial gravity within her ship, and collapsed and lost her mind.
Only then did they send someone to send the girl to the infirmary, and they let out a small sigh.
It was nothing compared to the pain and suffering the girl was going through, but knowing everything and watching over this poor girl was not an ordinary hardship either.
No matter how much a soldier is a person who must absolutely obey, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for human beings as human beings.
And.
The superior wanted the girl to become a perfect soldier.
I want them to become a species called soldiers, not even human beings.
