From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 177 An unexpected meeting

Xavier Matrix had long been wanted by the Sykes Civilization Arbitration Agency.

According to the memories of his previous life, Xavier Matrix will live to the afterlife and become a pioneer of mechanical life.

In other words, the arbitration body of the Sykes civilization has never caught him.

The fact that he is able to operate in a city with an extremely advanced surveillance network is enough to show that he has the technical skills to easily crack the surveillance network.

In short, it is basically impossible to find him by relying on official forces.

Lu Heng has a way to find people that others cannot find.

Because Xavier Matrix has a special hobby.

He likes plants, not bionic plants, but real plants.

This is a rather special hobby in Sykes civilization.

Therefore, Lu Heng has been asking Su Muyu to find places in the city where plants exist, especially plants with larger areas.

However, it is difficult to distinguish between bionic plants and real plants unless you get close and touch them.

The technology tree of the Sykes civilization for creating bionic animals, plants, and skins has been fully tapped.

Sometimes, looking at a wall of vines from a distance, it feels very real, even with some yellow leaves on the ground.

As a result, when I walked over to take a look, I found that they were actually bionic plants, and even the leaves on the ground were bionic dead leaves.

Even though it was hard to find, it took three days.

Su Muyu finally found a house full of plants and went up to confirm that the plants were real.

The plants are indeed real, but it is hard to say whether the person living inside is Xavier Matrix.

"What should we do next? Rush in, capture the Sykes people inside and interrogate them?" Lin Zeyu suggested.

Before he finished speaking, Lu Heng had already walked towards the yard full of plants.

When you arrive at the door, you can see a household robot watering and caring for the plants in the yard.

Lu Heng pressed the doorbell.

The housework robot turned around, moved to the door, connected to the holographic light screen outside the door, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I want to visit your master. I have seen many plants, but this kind of plant species in this yard is the first time I have seen it." Lu Heng explained his purpose.

The plants planted in this yard are all from the Sykes world. They are not found on Blue Star, but some of their characteristics are similar.

For example, they all need sunlight, water, and soil.

Hearing that the conversation started with plants, the owner of the house came out and opened the door himself.

The person who emerged from the door was a tall, thin Sykes man, dressed in a scholarly manner.

The moment Lu Heng's eyes met his, there was a strange look in both of their eyes.

Because Lu Heng recognized him at a glance. This person was Xavier Matrix.

This crazy scientist can move freely in a city where he is wanted without changing his appearance.

When Xavier Matrix saw Lu Heng, he also looked strange, because he could tell at a glance that Lu Heng was an alien.

"Where are you from?" he asked.

"A star system called the solar system." Lu Heng replied.

"Is the main life form in your place organic life?" he asked again.

"Yes, and there are many varieties, with more than 35 plant species." Every word Lu Heng said hit the other party's interest.

"Please come in, please come in and have a cup of tea." Xavier Matrix immediately made a gesture of invitation and invited Lu Heng and the other two into the yard.

Lin Zeyu's face was full of shock. He originally thought that he was here to fight, but somehow he ended up being a guest.

After sitting down.

Xavier Matrix opened a holographic screen and asked, "Do you mind if I record this conversation?"

Lu Heng nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Xavier Matrix was very happy and asked, "You should be organic life, and you haven't undergone mechanical transformation, right?"

He had scanned the bodies of Lu Heng and the other two and found no mechanical limbs.

Lu Heng nodded: "Yes, we are organic life forms."

Xavier Matrix nodded and asked, "Should I serve you food or something like that? You may not understand. If it were other guests, I have a wireless charging network here, so there is no need to entertain them with food."

In fact, Lu Heng's impression of this legendary mad scientist came from the information, and he had never dealt with him.

So, this is the first contact.

Lu Heng found that the "notorious" scientist opposite him was very polite and enthusiastic beyond his expectations.

"Don't bother. Besides, I'm not sure if we can eat what you have here."

Xavier Matrix raised his finger and said, "There is one thing that shouldn't be a problem. I found that your bodies have a high level of this substance." As he spoke, he asked the housework robot to bring up three cups filled with transparent liquid.

He introduced: "Pure water should not be a problem. It has been filtered through a dialysis membrane and its purity is close to 100%."

Serving water to guests is indeed a common way of entertaining guests in the human world.

However, the person sitting opposite is the legendary mad scientist, so it is hard to say whether any trace substances have been added to the water.

In order to avoid being knocked unconscious by the crazy scientist and used as experimental material, Lu Heng did not take the glass of water, but said, "Thank you, we are not thirsty."

Xavier Matrix was not sure whether this way of hospitality was appropriate, so he did not force it and began to change the topic of interest: "Can you tell me about the plants in your world? It would be even better if you could draw them."

Lu Heng started talking about the plants on Blue Planet.

During the conversation, Lu Heng also discovered a key piece of information.

This was not the first time Xavier Matrix had come into contact with humans, because when he was talking, he obviously had some knowledge of the plants in the human world, and the questions he asked were very precise.

He even knew some specific words for plants.

This means that he has had contact with humans before, which can also explain why he reacted so calmly when he saw humans.

After talking about plants, Lu Heng asked tentatively: "Are you a botanist?"

Xavier Matrix waved his hand and replied, "No, I'm just interested in plants, which are a completely different kind of life from animals. Do you think that the coldness of plants is similar to that of machines? But plants are life, and machines are just machines."

After hearing this, Lu Heng seemed to begin to understand why he liked plants.

He actually thought that plants and machines had similarities, and his research direction was mechanical life.

In other words, his inner subtext is: if plants can be living things, why can't machines?
Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "What about demons? Do you think demons are life?"

Xavier Matrix nodded and replied, "Of course, demons are also living beings, just like you, they are alien creatures. However, compared to you, demons are more difficult to communicate with."

Lu Heng actually agreed with this view, but he regarded both humans and demons as alien creatures. From the context, the two seemed to be equivalent, which sounded a bit unpleasant.

We talked a lot about plants.

After a moment of silence, Xavier Matrix asked, "What is your purpose in looking for me? Can you tell me now?"

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know we are here to find you?"

Xavier Matrix still sat steadily in his chair and said, "I don't think I would attract so many alien visitors here. Besides, every sentence you said since you came in seemed to be designed. They were all topics that interested me."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "You are not what I expected."

Xavier Matrix asked curiously, "What do you think I should be like? A mad scientist, so mad that I look hideous, and I will catch any living creature I see and study it."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think of the Adventists, the Perseverers, and the Escapers?"

Xavier Matrix was a little surprised, as he didn’t expect to talk about this topic: “These three factions are not completely independent, but can coexist. I don’t think there is any need for an opinion.

"If you have the ability to fight the abyss, then fight it. If you don't have the ability to fight it, then you can choose to flee. If you can't flee, then you can only accept the abyss.

"This is actually the same thing, a different solution for a different situation, but some people just don't have enough computing power to understand it."

It was the first time that Lu Heng heard such an answer from him.

And after listening to it, I felt that what he said really made sense.

You should fight against the abyss if you can. When you can't fight against it anymore, there is nothing you can do but flee or accept the abyss.

However, not every Sykes person has such a thorough understanding.

Therefore, when we still had the chance to resist, the Adventists appeared.

Some people are thinking about escaping before they lose or even before they are at a disadvantage.

This also indirectly proves the diversity of species. Even a semi-mechanical civilization cannot escape the differences in individual thinking.

The method to solve this kind of thinking difference is actually very simple for mechanical civilization. All you need to do is to flash each individual's brain to make it exactly the same, and the thoughts will be synchronized.

However, whether the Sykes civilization will still exist by that time is a topic that needs to be studied.

Just when Lu Heng fell into deep thought.

Xavier Matrix suddenly asked: "How many of you are here? Do you all want to be guests?"

Lu Heng's eyes fixed, and he turned to look at Su Muyu.

Su Muyu said: "The American team is here and is already at the door."

At this moment.

Two special models of armed robots appeared, raised their laser weapons and aimed at Lu Heng and the other two, while the other two aimed at the door.

Lu Heng sighed and said, "This is our first meeting. The course of our conversation was beyond my expectations, but the ending was also something I didn't expect. Although it's useless, I still want to make it clear that the three of us are not in the same group as those humans outside."

Xavier Matrix suddenly opened a pair of mechanical wings behind him, floated up, and transformed into a combat form. He replied: "I believe it, but this won't make me relax my vigilance against you."

Lu Heng made a gesture of invitation and said, "You can greet the guests outside first, and we will wait here quietly."
