Although I saw what the blond boy was doing on the computer, because the distance was a bit far and the other party had turned on the privacy shielding effect, I couldn't see the content on the computer clearly.
As soon as this thought flashed through Wei Ji's mind, he was pulled by an invisible force to change his perspective.
In the blink of an eye, he was behind the blond boy and finally could see the contents on the screen clearly.
For a young boy from an abandoned planet who had learned everything by himself, it was too difficult for him to understand the complicated instructions. However, the director obviously did not have the great idea of teaching people how to program an optical computer in the movie, and directly used a little psychological suggestion to show the key point of this scene.
The obvious words "Escape Pod" in the upper right corner can be recognized by anyone who has learned the Alliance's common language.
However, it was also marked with a bold red word "lock" behind it, and a small note:
[About to enter a strong magnetic area, the escape pod will automatically lock]
And from the series of rapidly flowing codes that followed, one could guess that the owner of the optical computer was trying to solve the problem.
The expression on Wei Ji's face relaxed. He had great trust in his guardian. The other party's attitude was so calm that he naturally relaxed his nerves which were tense because of the surrounding atmosphere. He believed that the other party would definitely have a solution.
Sure enough, within a short while, the most basic protection program was unlocked and the word "lock" disappeared, but at the same time a huge warning page popped up.
[Please note that the escape pod cannot shield against radiation from strong magnetic areas.
Real-time calculation of energy penetration rate 65.34%
Please act quickly】
At the same time, the percentage figure at the back was also rising by the seconds, but after updating a few times, it exceeded 70%.
The bright red background and the ever-increasing numbers flashing in it stimulated people's visual nerves. Wei Ji even held his breath unconsciously, as if he was caught in this life-and-death race against time.
However, contrary to his inner urging to "hurry up and move", the code that was rapidly running on the light screen suddenly stopped, as if the thoughts of the owner of the mental power had stopped.
When Wei Ji was still puzzled, a slender and clean hand covered the projection screen in his field of vision, and the owner of the hand turned off the computer.
Wei Ji:?!
While the boy was operating, the penetration rate had risen to [89.52%], and a large and eye-catching countdown appeared behind it.
But all of this disappeared when the optical computer was turned off.
——Why?
Wei Ji couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
A rough big palm landed on his head, stopping Wei Ji from reaching out to forcibly help the "guardian" turn on the light computer.
However, even if Richard didn't stop him, the boy's actions would not have any impact. After all, this was just a movie and they were just spectators.
Being stopped like this, Wei Ji hung his head dejectedly.
——It’s too late.
"It's too late."
The deep male voice coincided with Wei Ji's thoughts, and Wei Ji suddenly looked up.
Wei Ji had never been able to judge this man's true emotions from his expression, but this time he got a glimpse of it from his unusually deep voice.
Richard was silent for a moment before continuing, "If we choose the escape pod, there won't be enough time to get everyone out."
When the starship's main control system determines that the penetration rate has reached 100%, the cabin's escape pod will be directly locked with a mechanical structure. This is a setting retained at the beginning of the starship's design and will not be cracked by program control.
Because under such conditions, it is almost impossible for people without professional training to survive. No matter what happens in the cabin, the probability of survival is greater if you stay inside.
(Chu Lu:???
The normal guess at this time is that the survival rate is too low and the young master is scared?)
But unfortunately, he had no way of conveying this idea to the audience.
…
…………
——Everyone?
Wei Ji was stunned, as if he had not yet realized the meaning of Richard's words.
"Why……"
This question was squeezed out in a rough voice that didn't sound like a child at all, but there was no follow-up.
His mind was confused, and he felt an urge to ask for an answer, but after he opened his mouth, he didn't know what he wanted to ask.
The man didn't answer. He pressed the hand on top of his head down again, so heavy that the boy's head lowered deeply.
But after a moment, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at his "guardian" carefully, as if he was seeing him for the first time.
That's "fake".
He thought.
——It’s obviously “fake”.
But the actor's appearance vaguely overlaps with that person's figure.
Not the way it looks now, but the way it looked when he first encountered it, earlier.
At that time, his blond hair had not yet grown long enough to need to be tied up, and his face still had the soft features of a boy.
Has it ever happened?
The boy slowly withdrew his outstretched hand, feeling a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart.
The gulf of time lay before him, and everything he wanted to do was in vain.
The plot does not depend on the audience's mood, and the brief stagnation between the two audiences does not affect the progress of events on the starship.
The voice suddenly rose so sharply that it even seemed to be out of tune.
"Him! Him! --You should call him over!!!"
Everyone moved away where Viscount Wick pointed, so the blond boy who stood still seemed to step forward on his own initiative.
"He is the young master of the Adrian family! He is the genius! He is a B-level pharmacist!!"
These "praises" were not well-intentioned at this time, "He is useful! He is even more useful to you!!"
Wei Ji was stunned by this statement. He had some guesses when he heard those people talking at the banquet before, and now the fat man's direct words of "B-level pharmacist" further confirmed his thoughts.
But when he took the chip and asked the other party if they could make it, his answer was...
【Not anymore.】
Some qualifier he had overlooked exploded in his mind.
--"Now"?
The boy's pupils suddenly dilated, his mind fluctuated violently, and the projection of his consciousness began to shake. Richard, who had been prepared for this scene, slapped him on the back and brought him back to his senses.
Richard thought a little worriedly: It’s time to change to a docking helmet that can accommodate a higher mental power threshold.
Not knowing what Wei Ji was thinking of, Richard just guessed that he was too angry because of the current scene.
This brat has such a big reaction after seeing what has happened now. Can he really see the end later?
During the interaction between the two, there was chaos in the cabin, and the blond boy who was pushed out became the candidate to replace Viscount Wick.
The boy seemed to have really lost his composure at this moment, completely unlike the ease he had just shown when controlling the computer.
His face was pale and his legs were even a little weak. He held on to the wall of the starship and slowly moved forward step by step, as if this would buy him more time.
But from the audience's perspective, they saw that he was holding a faintly glowing object in his palm, which was almost integrated with the projected starry sky light curtain. If the two of them had not chosen the automatic follow mode of perspective at this moment, even if they had guessed it long ago, they would not have been able to see the problem in his palm.
Viscount Wick, who felt that the boy's movements were too slow, had recovered from his fear. He pointed at his fat face and urged him fiercely, "Hurry up!"
He was afraid that if the boy procrastinated for too long, the man with the prosthetic eye would change his mind.
Richard was worried that the kid would be kicked out again because of his emotional fluctuations due to this situation.
Knowing what was going to happen next, he quickly diverted the boy's attention and introduced the object in Master Luther's hand, "Noravi Stone, which can quickly absorb the energy it comes into contact with... In long-range combat, it is often used as a means of endurance."
[Master Luther] seemed to be groping against the wall, but his hand was actually on the docking port, using this thing to absorb the starship's energy.
Viscount Wick came up aggressively and pushed the man without any hesitation. The stone in the boy's hand almost fell, and he held it in his hand at the last moment. His fingertips scratched the wall, and the broken nails brought out blood, leaving a blood mark on the wall.
The boy's expression twitched unnaturally, but he quickly clenched his fist and buried the stone and his bloody fingertips in his fist.
In Richard's eyes, this was not a serious injury. He didn't even notice this little thing when he watched the original ship's surveillance video.
But he still vaguely remembered a group of people crying and leaving messages under the edited version of this clip on Starnet, saying things like "Baby, mommy will hug you", "It won't hurt if you blow on it", "Ah, baby is so strong" and so on (I don't know how Mrs. Adrian felt when she saw these messages).
Richard was paying close attention to Wei Ji's mental state at this moment, but found that unlike his previous violent temper, this kid's mental strength was surprisingly stable at this moment.
Wei Ji looked over there and suddenly said, "Spiritual power can help pharmacists accurately understand the status of each factor, and hands are the most basic and primitive operating tools for pharmacists. For an excellent pharmacist, keeping mental power and hands stable at all times and in all places is their basic quality."
Richard: “?”
It seemed like this was the first time he heard the brat speak such a long paragraph. If it weren't for the recognizable rough voice, he would even suspect that this was a line he had missed before.
Richard lowered his head in confusion, but only saw a black head with the hair messed up by him.
The boy continued in a flat voice, "It's the second paragraph of the introduction to Pharmacist Primer."
Richard remembered that the kid did have a talent for being a pharmacist, and he had indeed seen similar books in his ward.
He said "Oh", and after a long time he managed to find a few clues. Thinking of the boy's exceptionally stable mental power, he praised him, "Well done."
The boy seemed to look up and roll his eyes at him, his gaze continuing to fall on the blond boy.
Richard thought for a long time, with his emotional intelligence that he was always successful in dealing with women but always failed in front of children, and finally realized that the kid's words just now were not about him, but about "Master Luther" who was already halfway into the passage.
Richard: “…”
If this is a compliment, it is truly the most "euphemistic" compliment to Master Luther.
But in the end, he couldn't help but look at the boy's clenched palms again.
For pharmacists,
Are hands that important?
