At this time, Aian is the head of the Red Dragon Association's Intelligent Machinery Department. He has received extraordinary attention because of his unique identity as a pioneer of Kinorian. Aian is now an extremely famous "superstar" on the Chinese Internet.

The reason is very simple, because Ian is not from Earth, he is a remnant of Kinorian.

When Kinorian was doing mechanical ascension, he designed those Vala alloy bodies very beautifully. Now such a being has become the head of the Red Dragon Association's Intelligent Machinery Management Department. No matter how you think about it, it feels like he has a lot of BUFFs on him.

"You've become an Internet celebrity now."

Chen Lin pushed the display screen towards Ai An and said to him with a smile: "Look at the comments about you on the Internet. They are so enthusiastic about calling you the pinnacle of artificial intelligence. They suspect that you are an artificial intelligence robot created by our association, and they have given you some explanation just to make it more reasonable."

Ai An glanced at the screen and immediately said, "It seems that many people are not very satisfied with me."

Chen Lin burst into laughter: "Isn't it normal to be dissatisfied?"

"If all of them are satisfactory, you might think that these are just messages from others!"

He told Ai An about what had happened to him on the Internet before.

"In fact, after Chen Lin first appeared in public as the head of Anyun Base, I also encountered a lot of controversy."

Chen Lin recalled, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "At that time, people questioned my ability, speculated about my background, and even made all kinds of speculations about my motives. Some people said that I was young and inexperienced, while others suspected that there was an ulterior motive behind me, which led me to this position."

Ai An listened carefully. These were all new things to him. After all, the selection of decision makers in Kinolion was often based on strict assessments and actual abilities, rather than public opinion.

Chen Lin continued: "They put everything about me under a microscope. Every decision I made, every word I said, and even every expression I made when attending an event was magnified infinitely."

"I was not used to it at the time. I felt like my privacy was stripped away and I was exposed to everyone's scrutiny."

"So what did you do in the end?"

Ai An asked curiously.

"Just adapt."

Chen Lin replied briefly, "I learned to adapt to this environment and how to maintain my identity under the public eye. You have to know that as a senior member of an association, you must not only have firm beliefs and clear goals, but also have the resilience to deal with external pressure and misunderstandings."

"When you take this position, you will face all kinds of voices, praises and criticisms."

"But in reality, such voices are completely unavoidable. No one can satisfy everyone. The most important thing is to stick to your own path and respond to doubts with actions and results."

Chen Lin said with a smile: "When I first took over as the person in charge of Anyun Base, there was a lot of controversy. The senior staff in the association didn't even believe me. The president of the association was still Li Tianyun at that time. It was he who insisted that I try that position."

"In the beginning, I received quite a lot of support, but there were also a lot of opposition. Many people thought I was not suitable for the position after seeing my age. A lot of public opinion attacked me based on my age, experience, and past events. Some people even published my personal information and found out that I had a completely leapfrog experience, jumping directly from an ordinary person to this position."

Ai An frowned slightly. He could imagine the pressure and challenges Chen Lin was facing at that time.

"So how did you get through it?"

Ai An asked, his voice revealing his curiosity about Chen Lin's experience.

Chen Lin pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I knew very well at the time that only actual results could convince people, so I tried my best to lead the team to complete a series of important projects - the success of these projects gradually made people begin to recognize my ability."

“Secondly and most importantly, I learned how to communicate with the media and the public.”

Chen Lin smiled and said, "When I was in charge of Anyun Base, I tried to be transparent and open so that everyone could understand my ideas and plans... Of course, the last point is the most important, which is that I also need people who support me when I sit in this position, such as President Li Tianyun and those team members who believe in me. Their support is my greatest motivation."

"If Li Tianyun hadn't insisted on letting me take this position, I really wouldn't know what to do next. I had never had any relevant work experience at the time. Being the person in charge of Anyun Base was a brand new challenge for me. At that time, I could even call Professor Yu more than ten times or even dozens of times a day. Many of the problems were new to me."

"In order to deal with these problems, I contacted everyone in the association, whether I knew them or not. It was really difficult at the beginning..."

Ai An nodded. Actually, these actions of Chen Lin were recorded in some records of the Red Dragon Association. Now that Chen Lin mentioned it, he remembered it.

Chen Lin calmly continued, "After all, once you are in this position, don't be afraid of so-called controversy. Controversy is sometimes a driving force that can help you grow... You just need to make sure that your actions and decisions are based on the right reasons and are for the benefit of the Red Dragon Association and everyone else. Then any problem will no longer be a problem."

Ai An glanced at Chen Lin. Chen Lin's experience undoubtedly gave him a lot of inspiration.

As a remnant of Kinorian, Ian feels unfamiliar and curious about the disputes and challenges on Earth. In fact, he has thought more than once about how he should find his place in the Red Dragon Association and how to deal with various disputes and challenges that may arise.

"You're right, controversy can sometimes be a motivating force."

After a while, Ai An slowly said to Chen Lin, "I will remember your words and respond to your doubts with actions and results."

Chen Lin wanted to say something, but Ai An's communicator suddenly rang. He glanced at the content on it and said directly to Chen Lin: "It's an emergency meeting of the association. I need to leave first."

Chen Lin nodded and said, "Go ahead, we'll talk next time."

...At the emergency meeting, Ai An learned a shocking news - an important experiment of the Red Dragon Association had an accident, and a scientific research project called "Void Gate" suddenly lost control, resulting in the appearance of an unknown space crack.

This space crack is full of unknown dangers. The top leaders of the association responded quickly and asked the intelligent machinery management department to send the latest Vala alloy intelligent machinery equipment into it for basic exploration. This is also the main reason why the pioneer Aian was brought here.

Ai An was listening attentively to the report about the out-of-control "Void Gate" project at the meeting. In front of him was the person in charge, Wang, who was sent by the association this time. After he finished speaking, he said to Ai An: "The situation is urgent. We need to act immediately."

"Aian, your department's latest Varla alloy intelligent equipment is the key to this mission. What are your plans?"

Ai An quickly organized his thoughts: "First, we need to organize a technical team to conduct a final inspection and debugging of the equipment to ensure their stable operation in the unknown space. If allowed, I personally hope to lead an elite team and carry the equipment to the space crack for preliminary exploration."

Manager Wang nodded and agreed to the first half of the plan. He then added to Ian, "We don't know the situation on the other side of the rift yet, so we must be cautious in all actions. Therefore, it is best to send the Valar alloy robot in to explore."

"As for what you said about personally leading people in, I don't think it should be our focus at this stage."

"Let's carry out the basic exploration plan first!"

"The association thinks the same thing. Let's do this for now. Everyone should go back to work. Send two companies to be stationed near the crack to prevent any accidents."

"Yes!"

After the meeting, Ai An immediately returned to the department and began intensive preparations.

During the preparation process, Ai An couldn't help but think of Chen Lin's words: "Controversy is sometimes a kind of motivation."

Ian realized that the success of this mission would most likely be his most powerful way to respond to those doubts and controversies, so he absolutely could not let down on such matters.

A few hours later, everything was ready.

Ai An, wearing special exploration gear, stood in front of several Vala alloy intelligent machines and said in a deep voice: "Time waits for no one. You will explore this mysterious world for the association. Any new discoveries need to be promptly reported and recorded. No intelligent machine is allowed to fall behind or perform tasks alone. Do you understand?"

The underlying codes of these Vala alloy intelligent mechanical devices had been rewritten, so they all agreed unconditionally. With a wave of Ian's hand, a row of Vala alloy intelligent mechanical devices moved straight towards the direction of the space crack.

With the entry of the Vala alloy intelligent mechanical equipment, Ai’an immediately arranged for the command department to dispatch several reconnaissance drones to conduct preliminary reconnaissance.

The images taken by the drone were quickly transmitted back to the screen.

The image took everyone's breath away - it was an alien world full of strange lights and floating islands!
On the other side of the space rift is a world beyond human imagination. In the images sent back by the drone, the first thing that catches the eye is islands floating in the air. They seem to be a dreamland composed of different elements. Some islands grow glowing plants, while others are made of pure energy, flashing alluring light.

Bands of light flow between these islands. They are like bridges connecting different worlds, or like the trajectory of some unknown energy flow.

Occasionally, unidentified objects would quickly shuttle across the light band, and the sky of the other world would become a deep violet. Although there was no sun, there were countless glowing stars that emitted a soft light, illuminating this strange space.

On the ground - or rather on the islands, there are all kinds of strange creatures. Some of them look like they have traveled through time from the prehistoric era on Earth, with huge bodies and sharp claws like dinosaurs, while others are like fluids made of liquid metal and can change their shapes at will...

There are also some creatures with transparent wings. They are huge in size and have unknown life structures. They fly and move in the sky in a flashing manner, which looks quite strange.

Under Ian's remote control, the Vala alloy intelligent devices move carefully between these islands - they need to avoid dangerous creatures while always paying attention to unstable energy fluctuations to avoid damage to the body.

Ian and his team stared at the screen intently. They knew that every discovery here could have a profound impact on the Red Dragon Association and even the entire earth.

A few minutes later, a Valar alloy intelligent device suddenly sounded an alarm - it encountered a sudden attack by a group of storm creatures that looked like they were made of energy. These creatures were hovering in the air, but the device detected that they could actually emit high-frequency electromagnetic pulses!
These things interfere with the sensors and communication systems of the intelligent devices.

"Initiate emergency protocol immediately, all units on defensive stance!"

Ian's voice echoed in the command center, and he quickly adjusted the drone's camera angle, trying to capture the storm creatures' attack pattern.

Data on the screen showed that these creatures had abnormally high energy levels, and they seemed to be able to absorb energy from their surroundings to enhance themselves.

The Vala alloy intelligent devices are equipped with advanced weapon systems. Ian ordered the intelligent devices to activate the energy shield while adjusting the weapon system and preparing to launch the sonic jammer.

"Prepare to launch the sonic jammer. All units, please be alert. If the creature approaches again, activate the jammer immediately!"

It was obvious that the storm creatures were not going to hold back, and as they launched an attack again, this time the intelligent devices decisively fought back. They accurately fired sonic interference energy rays. Under the impact of the sound waves, the creatures in the energy storm began to become confused, their attacks became ineffective, and they finally had to retreat.

"here you go!"

Ian breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. These energy creatures from behind the crack seemed to be naturally hostile to them. The attack just now was actually more like a test. If these intelligent machines did not react at all or were knocked down directly, they would most likely encounter a more fierce pursuit.

The world behind the crack is obviously not very friendly to intelligent mechanical equipment. Electromagnetic interference and magnetic field problems cause drones to crash one after another, and the signals sent back by the intelligent mechanical equipment are also intermittent.

At this time, the staff also reported to Ai An in time - the radiation level behind the crack was seriously exceeded, and it was very likely that none of the five devices they sent out would return. (End of this chapter)
