Him and their stars.

Chapter 1062 Enlightened Ones Are Very Grounded

"Apocalypse?" Summers glanced suspiciously at the other party.

"Yes, Apocalypse, it seems to be the spirit of the universe belonging to our prosthetics."

"..."

"What's the matter with your expression?"

"Teacher, I thought that cyborgs like us should be the least concerned with these religious concepts." Summer suddenly showed a sad expression.

"Prosthetics are not robots. We are still creatures conceived and born naturally." The old man Trende couldn't help but continued to correct: "You iron donkey, have you missed your emotional intelligence in this life?"

Summers also pretended not to hear, and continued: "You once said that even if it is psionic power, it is not metaphysics, nor is it the so-called gift of the spirit of the universe, but just a kind of science that we can't understand. It's just a rule of strength."

"...I didn't say that. I just said that spiritual energy is the same as a prosthetic body. As long as it can be mastered, it is its own power. Such a pioneering statement, why is it so like the theory of the Spiritual Research Association? Sa Moss, you little iron donkey looks at you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, don't you mean that you are going to betray the Brotherhood and join the Spiritual Research Society?"

The old man Trende shook his head again: "I have met Mr. Lan several times, and he even invited me to drink tea once. The Spiritual Research Meeting is not so radical, this is actually more like the lines of your friend of the same age. "

"So, what the hell is this apocalypse?" Summers asked.

"It's not a ghost, it's just a hard-to-explain... well, that kind of infusion of knowledge. In short, I have learned some new things now. Those rolling robots, uh, are the red sand stars you mentioned, anyway I just can fix it."

"I always feel that it sounds dangerous!" Summers was still full of doubts.

"Hahahaha, Summers, have you forgotten why I asked you to come here in the first place?" Mr. Trend was still full of confidence, acting much more optimistic than his young disciple.

"Even the establishment of the first branch of the Engineer's Guild in the New World, and by the way, support for the people's construction and national defense of New Yumen!" Summers replied decisively.

"He's here to find Hui!" Trende said loudly.

"Oh... I thought it was incidental." Summers pondered for a while: "So, do you think this is a revelation from Ash?"

The old man nodded.

"Where's the evidence?"

Elder Trende cast a helpless glance at his proud disciple with low EQ and single-mindedness, and pointed to his temple: "Here is an aeon chip, from the era of the enlightened, excavated in the gray ruins 200 years ago .My former owner also learned about the existence of Ash. The reason why I was able to hack all the surveillance systems here, even the windows and earphones of the Sentinel Power Armor, was because of its performance."

"You did. You also said that you still have a spare. If one day I can use my own will to master the mithril spine on my back and all its accessories, turn it on. But I always I feel that with a chip buried in my head, the possibility of committing cyberpsychosis is quite high, and I have always been hesitant."

"Hesitating means that you don't have that firm confidence in the path you choose." The old man in Trend raised his head and smiled triumphantly: "The new information I received was indeed transmitted through this chip. Very Smooth, very smooth, and very harmonious."

"These words are a bit like the free evidence of mysticism."

"The end of science is mystery, and the end of mystery is science."

The two seemed to be walking like this, chatting while advancing, and soon passed all the guard posts and came to the deepest part of the ruins.Of course, it's a very different place than it was when Summers first came.In the huge underground palace, there are already piles of various building materials and resting engineering tools. It looks like a noisy and complicated super-large construction site, but it is just resting.

that's the truth.In addition to scientists and archaeologists, nearly ten thousand workers are busy working on this ruins.It is said that after all the enlightened relics in the ruins are sent away, they will prepare to transform this place into a history museum.The spacious cargo passage where the two of them came over can also be used by passengers immediately.

However, it's the New Year's holiday, and the workers are off.On the site of the ruins of the underground palace, apart from a few security robots conducting daily security inspections, preventing fire and theft, not even a mouse can be seen.

To be honest, if it is really necessary to transport passengers, this passage is really spacious and a bit suspected of over-engineering.However, there is no way to do this. If you want to transport the largest items in the relics out, you really have to build the passageway like this.

Soon, the two stopped at the long corridor deep in the ruins, and more than a dozen towering steel giants stood on both sides of the long corridor, like sleeping gods.

"What a magnificent creation!" Trende let out a satisfied sigh, as if: "But I don't know how the performance is? You really haven't seen them move?"

Summers shook his head: "When the disciple came down here, it was almost calm. He had already obtained control of the ruins. These giants stood on both sides of the passage like this, welcoming him out, like a guard of honor. guard."

"Hehe, did he look like a great king at that time?"

"...No, it's more like successfully bringing the brewed beer and barbecue from the alley at the back door back to the dormitory, and showing off in front of us." Summers smiled particularly happily, as if his whole body was filled with the iridescent time of youth .

Of course, as a mature adult, he quickly got rid of the memories of his youthful years, and once again focused his attention on these steel giants: "These things... as war props, the frontal projection is too big. No Become a target?"

Trende was slightly taken aback: "What's the point?"

"The recently released internal military paper of the Community, called "Theory of Surface Defense", was completed by him and Akinayama Hachiman together. I think it still makes sense."

Elder Trende finally did not ask the question "Since it is an internal paper, how did you see it?" Instead, he thought about it carefully, and finally gave up shaking his head: "Military issues are not my major. However, The Enlightened Ones should have their own reasons for keeping such things. Taking a step back, they can also be buried in the sand and used as fortresses."

Summers thinks the teacher has something to say.

"So, can it be fixed?"

Trende didn't respond right away, but stood in front of one of the steel giants and fell silent.Those gray-green eyes that looked natural had already glowed blue.Moments later, the old man raised his hand again and pointed forward.

...and then, nothing seemed to happen.

However, Summers didn't think so.His current right eye is actually a high-power detector, which is the same model as the latest surveillance drone.But even so, he didn't see anything, and he didn't even feel anything. On the contrary, his left naked eye vaguely caught something overflowing from the opponent's fingers, dancing and disappearing.

Nanomachines?Summers was quick to think of the possibility.

Of course he knows that if it is said that in the entire universe, the restoration of ancient mechanical technology and the development of nano-machines are the most in-depth work, it is not the palladium of the Iron Army Federation, but the half-machine half-zombie of the Omnic Brotherhood It's old food.

However, he also knows that although they have developed a cell-sized nanomachine, it is only a laboratory product after all, and it is impossible to hide it to this extent.

"So it turns out that Apocalypse doesn't just give you knowledge, it also gives you something more practical."

"We prosthetics are all realists. Practical things are more convincing than the concept of nothingness." Trende smiled and said, "Do you want it? This ancient nanosystem actually has the function of proliferation. You If you want, I can give you a batch, but if you lack eternal chips, it is not so easy to control them freely."

"You repaired the terminal of Red Sand Star, relying on it...they, right?"

Summers already felt a comfortable breeze swimming around him, and knew that these were the nanomachines just now.Thankfully, the machines seem to be kind to themselves.However, what surprised him even more was that he always felt that these nanomachines seemed to be alive.He couldn't help laughing at his whimsy, but couldn't help referring to "they" as "they".

"Actually, it can be repaired with our fraternity's own technical strength, but I need to recruit a third of the members, and it will take at least half a year."

"...In fact, this is also very good, we are all making progress." Summers tried to convey his praise.

The old man Trende said: "There are too many unseen mysteries in this universe, and the heritage of previous civilizations is so rich. The more you study, the more you can feel your own insignificance."

"But for the members of our fraternity, the more insignificant they feel, the more gratified they should be?" Summers said.

The old man looked at his disciple and showed a gratified smile: "Okay, iron donkey, although your emotional intelligence is hopeless, it is indeed suitable for the concept of brotherhood."

Having said that, the old man suppressed the blue light in his eyes, reached out and patted the towering steel giant: "Now, I have two pieces of good news."

Somerston breathed a sigh of relief when he heard bad news and good news that were not traditional routines.

"These things can be repaired." The old man paused for a moment: "...Of course, their control direction is different from the gray mist and the red sand star. These big guys actually have more initiative, so we need to spend Time to modify the low-level logic.”

Summers nodded: "I still have some experience in this regard."

"You have a ghostly idea!" The old man sneered, "Judging from the current amount of data, it will take at least a month."

It is certainly unrealistic to spend another month.The reason why the Commonwealth government dug such a large tunnel that can pass through an armored division is to prepare to transport these steel giants out intact, and then send them to the earth.Now, the passage is basically completed, and it should be time to start after the New Year holiday.

"Isn't that bad news?" Summers said.

"That's why we need the second piece of good news. Their self-discipline systems can actually be turned off." As the old man spoke, he walked around behind a big robot and pressed his hand on the gray-blue steel armor.There seemed to be a series of data and patterns beating on the shiny armor surface, and then, the steel giant standing on the ground suddenly sank.The majestic body slowly prostrated itself on the ground, and then began to curl up. The mirrored armor plates on both sides of the torso were also driven by an unknown mechanical structure, split into thousands of small pieces, and then curved up and began to gather together , wrapped the giant's curled up body.

Half a minute later, this gigantic mech crouched on the ground like this, turning into a typical vehicle.It's just that the wheels on both sides that wrap the vehicle body are actually more like two round shields with a diameter of more than five meters.

However, after making these changes, its frontal projection has been compressed by more than half from the typical target's ten-meter height.

Immediately afterwards, a hatch door opened on the top of the vehicle, and a seat popped up with a whoosh.

The size of the seat is obviously very suitable for the body shape of adult human beings, and it has once again become an important evidence that human beings are "descendants of the enlightened ones" and the "chosen name" of the universe.

However, these are not important.The important thing is that if there are seats, it means that it can be driven.Coincidentally, there is also a screen-like device floating in front of the chair, which should be the operation panel.

"Automatic and manual control are really humanized designs!" The old man smiled: "Who said the legacy of the Enlightened Ones is ungrounded?"

Summers also laughed: "My disciple thinks that what is more human is the legendary 'ash' who bestowed on you the apocalypse! Now that He has awakened, where is he now?"

"Who knows? But, since He has awakened, there should be many people in the universe who need His enlightenment. Maybe there are compatriots from other fraternities, or some genius engineer who is not yet famous."

Trende clapped his hands: "Okay, come and help, we still have a lot of work to do."

At this moment, student Eisen French, who has been regarded as a genius by many technical masters because of the design of the light wing, but has not yet become famous, is in the monitoring platform of the orbiting observatory of the Tianshu Galaxy in New China. Looking at a large string of data dancing on the terminal screen, he gnawed on a delicious braised pig's trotter.

Sitting at the same table with him are two friends who are also talented technicians, Bai Ziya and Tamir.The former is drinking eight-treasure porridge, while the latter is trying to destroy a king crab as big as a washbasin.

...Well, today is New Year's Eve, and a banquet is being held on the cruiser docked next to the observation station, but these three are all technical geeks who are afraid of the society, and they really don't adapt to that kind of overly noisy environment.

However, today is New Year's Eve after all, even if you are a technical geek, you should have a good meal.

This is the most remote galaxy in the entire community, and it is also one of the worst galaxies in the new Shenzhou star region.But on this day, this galaxy also ushered in the most lively stage of the establishment of the new Shenzhou star region.

You know, in the past nearly 200 years, there was only one old astronomical observatory and two small mines in this galaxy, and they were still the kind of automatic operation, with an average of three or five maintenance personnel coming over once a month or two. kind.

But now, in addition to the scientific research team led by Professor Zinov, there are also engineering teams who have come to build new star detectors and gravitational beacons in the galaxy, half of the new Shenzhou Garrison Fleet, and one of the Ninth Fleet. Patrol Squadron.

As a result, forty or fifty ships, large and small, and more than 2 soldiers and civilians gathered in the remote Tianshu galaxy.This galaxy, which has been quiet and uninhabited for hundreds of millions of years, unexpectedly has some fireworks.
