Matthew chewed on the spiced roasted rat meat in his mouth, his eyes glued to the intricate schematic of the Dawnbreaker's internal engine. This diagram was valuable information he had gone to great lengths to obtain from the Dawnbreaker.
The intricacies of the design in the diagram were breathtaking. Although Matthew had an in-depth understanding and unique insight into machinery since he was a child under his old man's tutelage, this schematic in front of him made him feel a little overwhelmed, and he could only slowly deduce it step by step. However, the more he delved into it, the stronger his admiration for the engine designer became.
Staring at the schematics for a long time, Matthew's eyes felt a little sore, so he removed his gaze from the drawings, glanced at the static Dawnbreaker next to him, and couldn't help but snicker, "Dawn, you'd better not waste your efforts, this pulse transit station is not so easy to invade. Thinking back then, my old man tried countless times and failed to succeed even once."
The Dawnbreaker remained silent as if it hadn't heard Matthew's words.
Matthew started talking to himself again, staring at the schematic while rambling, "Dawn, it's not that I'm talking to you; you should give up on this kind of thing that can't possibly succeed. If you have time, why don't you come and help me? This diagram is making my head spin. But then again, the person who designed this diagram is a genius; it's amazing ..."
Suddenly, Dawnbreaker spoke up and interrupted Matthew, "Invasion successful!"
Matthew's gaze remained on the schematic and subconsciously responded, "What? The invasion was successful? Aigoo, Dawn, when did you learn to joke around? Not bad, not bad; there's progress and progress! But if it didn't work, it didn't work, this kind of thing would never work in the first place so that no one will laugh at you ..."
However, the Dawnbreaker didn't pay attention to Matthew's flirting but said straight away, "The Oblivion Starfield's main news this week, the emerging space star sea floating island began to move into the new residents on Monday, the first batch of new residents will enjoy a series of preferential policies ..."
Matthew's gaze instantly froze, and the movements of his hands came to a halt. He jerked his head up and asked incredulously, "You ... you succeeded?"
"Without a doubt!"Dawnbreaker replied calmly.
Matthew carefully reconfirmed, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"Dawnbreaker replied with certainty.
"Hahaha!"Matthew cheered, "I can finally understand the outside world! I can finally understand the outside world!"He was so excited that he ran around his home, venting joyfully.
Looking at Matthew's such an excited appearance, the Dawnbreaker's icy facial lines also softened a little. However, this softness was fleeting and soon returned to its usual indifference.
Matthew carefully sat inside the Dawnbreaker cockpit, put on the combat helmet, and lay on the soft seat. At that moment, his heart was churning with various emotions: excitement, eagerness, curiosity, and fear of the unknown environment. These emotions were intertwined, making it impossible for him to calm down.
The Dawnbreaker's voice again sounded in Matthew's ears, "Are you ready?"Hearing this voice, Matthew's originally panicked heart gradually smoothed out. He took a deep breath and replied calmly, "Ready!"
As soon as the words fell, Matthew's eyes suddenly changed dramatically. He felt a wave of dizziness but quickly adjusted to the change. The Dawnbreaker's voice promptly sounded in his mind, "People who use the Starfield Virtual Network for the first time tend to experience dizziness; this is a normal phenomenon and is not harmful to the body."
Matthew understood what was going on and began to survey his surroundings carefully. The first thing that caught his eye was a gorgeous light curtain interwoven by rays of various colors. These light rays swam and changed like living creatures, constantly deriving new colors and patterns. The strong visual impact made Matthew feel an unprecedented shock!
Growing up in a wasteland star mound, Matthew's world was only filled with black and white metallic colors, orange and yellow stellar rays, and vast rusty colors. He had never imagined that colors could be so vivid and rich! He stood there like a frozen statue at that moment, fascinated by the mesmerizing colors before him.
A passerby passed by Matthew saw his appearance and could not help but curse in a low voice: "What an idiot!"This mocking remark was like a hammer blow, waking Matthew from his psychedelic dream. A trace of bitterness welled up in his heart; how could these people who lived a privileged life understand the hardships of his life? However, Matthew did not feel sorry for himself, and after a short period of loss, he regained his vigor.
As if he had a heart-to-heart, the Dawnbreaker, who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, "Matthew, you can step out of the light curtain now."Matthew complied and stepped out of the light screen, and a magnificent square was revealed in front of him. All sorts of strange machines were placed on the plaza, while the giant electronic screen in the center broadcasted all sorts of news and messages.
"The central square is the news area; it's my first time here, so wander around alone. If you run into difficulties, call out to me in your mind, and I can pick up your brainwave signals. That's it!"The Dawnbreaker's voice ended abruptly, falling into silence once again.
Matthew laughed bitterly in his mind, but soon curiosity dispelled these worries. He looked around curiously, his feet moving involuntarily. More than ten years of survival instincts made him always maintain high vigilance in unfamiliar environments.
He always kept a distance of about two meters from others, which was his optimal attacking distance to ensure he could deal with unexpected situations calmly. Walking at high speeds through the forests of cluttered garbage on the planet has become his physical instinct, making him look like a swimming fish as he weaves his way through the crowd.
Compared to the people strolling around him, Matthew eagerly awaited something urgent. This was only because every second on the garbage planet was precious and could relate to his every gain, life, and death!
Matthew was like a ferocious predator fish wandering in a leisurely school of fish looking out of place and even a bit harsh.
Pops had told him that the people outside the wasteland mound lived in peace, without countless mutated creatures, without regular storms every day, and without having to search for food in the garbage.
They wore bright clothes and ate delicious food, lived a leisurely and peaceful life, went to school and work, and had many friends and different kinds of mechs. When young Matthew asked his father if it was paradise, he denied it.
Now Matthew could finally touch the world he had dreamed of so many times! However, he felt slightly confused and didn't even know where he was. He stared blankly at the ceiling, his heart filled with inexplicable emotions that were hard to describe.
Everything he experienced today needed to be slowly digested and understood. The Dawnbreaker also remained silent, making it difficult to guess what his sophisticated brain was thinking. The night is still silent, and the ceiling remains unchanged.
