With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 108 Divine Source
North Church.

A newly appointed guard and deacon gathered around the church to maintain the order of the coronation ceremony.

Chen Fan did not attend the coronation ceremony of the new pope.

At this time, he was alone in the deepest part of the North Church.

A few days ago, Chen Fan took a smart terminal to conduct an in-depth scan of the entire city of Varela.

Finally, according to the scan results of Yi, there is a huge hollow structure under the North Church.

Combined with various information previously obtained, Chen Fan had reason to suspect that the energy core of Varela City - the Divine Source - was stored in this hollow structure.

In order to better judge the enemy's technological level and for the future of Varela City, Chen Fan decided to investigate before leaving Varela City.

Under Yi's high-intensity scanning, the entrance to the hollow structure was quickly found - it was a heavy metal gate installed on the ground.

Because it was covered with thick carpets and no one was walking around in the north church, no one knew it existed.

Listening to the faint cheers coming through the thick metal wall, Chen Fan knew clearly that the Pope's coronation ceremony had officially begun.

"One, has the backdoor program been deployed?"

Chen Fan did not rush to open the closed heavy metal door on the ground, but asked Yi in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, the arrangements have been completed."

Yi quickly gave an answer: "With just one command, the entire city of Varela will be controlled by this machine."

After hearing this, Chen Fan's face softened slightly, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

His previous communication with Moore made him realize a hidden danger: it is almost impossible to expect intelligent creatures to control their desires.

Although Xu Huai's current actions are all positive, there is no guarantee that Xu Huai will maintain his current beliefs in the future.

In order to ensure that the situation would not get out of control again, and to obtain the authority of a formal investigator as soon as possible, Chen Fan decided to be a villain for once - to plant a backdoor program into the central computer of the North Church!

Although the entire city of Varela looks quite backward from the outside, there are a lot of high-tech products inside.

This means that if you want to maintain the normal operation of Varela City, the central computer located inside the North Church is an unavoidable top priority.

Therefore, as long as Chen Fan has control over the central computer, even if Xu Huai becomes "black" in the future, he can quickly control the situation in its infancy!

"One, open the door."

Chen Fan thought about it and gave an order to Yi.

With a slight vibration coming from under the feet, the metal door embedded in the ground slowly opened with a rumble.

A narrow passage made entirely of metal appeared in front of Chen Fan.

The metal stairs that led diagonally downward into the ground were covered with a thick layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had entered this passage for a long time.

On both sides of the narrow passage, there are some strip lamp beads embedded in the wall.

The crystal white light it emits illuminates the entire passage exceptionally brightly.

The passage is so long that the end can hardly be seen at a glance.

Although the light in the passage was bright, the long passage deep underground still gave Chen Fan some bad feelings.

Especially the narrow passage that was only accessible to one person brought him an inexplicable psychological pressure.

Chen Fan's thoughts moved slightly, and the smart terminal on his right hand quickly appeared.

The next second, a translucent film that glowed with a light blue light and looked like an eggshell appeared around his body.

At the same time, in the fluorescent green light emitted from the palm of his hand, PW-1 disguised as a pistol and a spherical micro-detection drone also appeared in front of Chen Fan.

"Individual soldier protection field..."

According to Yi's description, this protective force field is enough to withstand attacks from most individual weapons of the People's Federation.

Looking at the protective force field in front of him, Chen Fan felt a little more at ease. He raised PW-1 and carefully walked into the passage.

……

Ta, tap, tap... Slight footsteps kept ringing in the narrow metal passage.

It is different from the corridor in the north church.

There are no mechanisms arranged in this passage made of metal - the designer never thought that anyone in Varela could enter this core area.

On the holographic panel beside him, the numbers symbolizing depth are increasing continuously, and the picture from the micro-detection drone is also the same downward passage.

The sound of the coronation ceremony that was faintly audible completely disappeared in the air.

At this moment, Chen Fan was the only human being underground in Varela City.

"grass……"

He looked at the seemingly endless stairs ahead and couldn't help but curse: "We already have this kind of technology, why can't we install an elevator?!"

An electronic synthesized voice came from the right hand: "It should be due to the age of use."

“Over hundreds of years, elevators that are left unmaintained tend to break down and become inoperable.”

"Stairs, the most primitive design, tend not to fail."

Chen Fan sighed helplessly, stepped stiffly and continued walking down.

suddenly.

At Yi's reminder, the holographic picture from the micro-detection drone beside him finally changed slightly.

The metal staircase, which originally sloped downward at a forty-degree angle, gradually became smaller, and an open metal door appeared in the drone's view.

A flickering orange light flickered inside the door.

As soon as Chen Fan had an idea, the drone accurately penetrated the open metal door under the control of Yi.

"This……"

Chen Fan looked at the picture on the holographic panel and subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

It was an extremely spacious underground space.

The entire underground space is covered with high-strength metal, and there are extremely thick load-bearing columns standing in the center of the space.

In the center of this underground space, a strange-shaped orange crystal is hanging quietly in mid-air.

A large number of cables are connected to the surface of the orange crystal and extend to the top of this underground space.

It looks like a chandelier hanging in the air.

Over time, the orange crystals continue to emit a soft, warm dim glow.

"Is this the fusion reactor you're talking about?"

Chen Fan looked strangely and asked the smart terminal in his hand.

Yi did not answer the question immediately, but controlled the drone to slowly approach the orange crystal and circle it several times.

"Something's not right."

There was a hint of seriousness in Yi's voice: "Get there as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Chen Fan looked startled and subconsciously asked, "So what is that thing?"

"I don't know, but I can be sure that that thing is definitely not a fusion reactor!"

"There is no similar energy supply device found in the database of the People's Federation. We even suspect that it is not a technological creation!"

Chen Fan did not continue to ask.

He took three steps at a time and ran quickly towards the underground space at the bottom of the passage.

ps: I will update two chapters for the time being, and one more chapter may have to wait until the afternoon.
