Network Mainbrain (グリッドコンピュータ?, lit.: "Grid Computer") is a treasure in Pikmin 2, found on sublevel 2 of the Subterranean Complex, guarded by Careening Dridibugs and a Swooping Snitchbug. You simply need to carry it back to the ship while avoiding or ridding the sublevel of the enemies and other hazards. It is actually a vacuum tube. The text reads:

Olimar's journal
“According to my research, this is an acoustic-interference motherboard. I should install this on the ship. It might shut him up for a while. Then again, if it learned to override the hardware, it might become even more surly than it is now!”
Sales pitch
“Joining forces and working together must inevitably create greater ultimate power. This computer has many friends that it works with to generate optimum results.”
