From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 319 Mission Objectives
"According to the information I know, I do know that several forces are researching mechanical demons, but their research directions are different. I am not sure which one is your target."

Also in the field of cutting-edge technology, Xavier Matrix does know that some organizations and forces are researching mechanical demons.

In fact, it is not illegal to conduct research on demons in the Sykes civilization.

Only by studying demons can we find ways to deal with them.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with studying demons.

Of course, if you want to conduct research on demons, you need to register with the Sykes Central System and obtain permission before you can conduct relevant research.

This application is not difficult to obtain, so in the Sykes civilization, there are many organizations and forces that have the qualifications to study demons.

Of course, most of the research projects of these organizations that study demons are aimed at understanding demons.

Clearly that was not the goal of this call-up.

Since the main quest is to investigate the mad scientist who studies mechanical demons, it means that this incident is harmful.

Moreover, the harm has certainly already appeared, but it has not yet expanded.

According to Lu Heng's experience, if the recruitment mission is not completed this time, the harm caused by this mechanical demon incident will expand rapidly and even become a disaster.

"This scientist who studies the mechanical demon will inevitably cause harm to civilization, and the harm will be very serious. The danger level of level 6 is higher than the danger level of the abyss tumor last time. Therefore, this scientist who studies the mechanical demon is very dangerous, and it is impossible that there will be no movement at all." Lu Heng expressed his guess.

"If that's the case, I have a few possible targets here, but you need to investigate them yourselves. I can only assist you." Xavier Matrix said as he projected the information of several scientists onto the light screen.

The information of three scientists appeared on the light screen, and the projects they were researching were all in the field of demons.

These three scientists have only become famous in the Sykes civilization in recent years.

After all, the abyss has only invaded the Sykes civilization for twenty to thirty years, and the Sykes civilization has a large number of planets. Planets like Ice Star, which are not inhabited by Sykes citizens, would not attract much attention at first even if they were invaded by the abyss.

Therefore, the abyss did not attract much attention in the first twenty years of the Sykes civilization.

Otherwise, Laclinie Sykes would not have needed to ask Lu Heng for help and send a reminder message to the Capital Star Circle, but it did not cause much reaction.

The invasion of the Abyss has only intensified in the last decade, and has received increasing attention from the Sykes civilization.

These scientists who study demon-related projects have only gradually become known to the public in recent years.

The three scientists given by Xavier Matrix are all radicals and have formal demon research licenses.

Of course, the research projects of these three scientists are ostensibly legal, but it is impossible to determine what the real research projects behind them are.

Lu Heng looked through the information of these three scientists and compared it with the memories in his mind.

When he saw the name of the third scientist, Lu Heng felt that he had found the answer.

The third scientist is named Earlstone Stella, and his research direction is demon metabolism.

Lu Heng had an impression of this name. In his previous life, this Earlstone Stella was a very dangerous scientist in the Sykes civilization. It was said that once in an abyss battlefield with a scale of 50 people, they were almost wiped out by him.

And this Earlstone Stella is indeed studying a very terrifying abyss creature, which can bring great harm.

Lu Heng tried hard to recall the information in his mind and compare it with the current situation.

This information about Earlstone Stella did appear around April of the second year after the abyss descended.

Lu Heng had just awakened for four months at that time, and his level was not very high. He had not come into contact with beings of Earlstone Stella's level. The information about this Sykes scientist was all seen on the Internet and in the news.

Judging from the time, this Earlstone Stella is indeed likely to be the BOSS of this Abyss Battlefield.

Even if the target of the investigation in the Abyss Battlefield this time is not him, given the level of danger this person poses, it would be beneficial to conduct an investigation in advance.

Lu Heng pointed at the information of Earlstone Stella and said, "Professor, I suspect this person. Show me all his information and then make an investigation plan."

Xavier Matrix showed a very interested expression and asked, "Why do you think it was him? Didn't the first two have any doubts?"

"I can only say it's... intuition." Lu Heng spread his hands.

Robots have no such thing as intuition. For computers, the results are only 0 and 1, and the process of reaching conclusions is clear.

If the calculation process is not clear, it means that the problem has no solution or is beyond the scope of computing power.

If you choose an answer without doing any calculation, it is called a random choice.

Therefore, Xavier Matrix does not have such a thing as intuition, but he knows that organic life does have intuition, and he knows what intuition means, but he cannot understand what kind of thing it is.

In his thinking, "intuition" is a process of reaching conclusions through "unknown means", but it is different from "random choice".

Xavier Matrix commented on Lu Heng's answer: "I don't like this way of drawing conclusions without any calculation process."

Lu Heng spread his hands and said, "Maybe this is the difference between life and machines."

Xavier Matrix suddenly became interested in the so-called intuition: "If robots also develop intuition, will they be closer to life?"

Lu Heng was also a little curious, and answered casually: "It's possible."

Xavier Matrix recorded this: "This is a very good research direction. Does the Black Feather Spirit have any intuition?"

Yuan Yaoyao raised her hand and answered, "The Black Feather Spirit doesn't have it, but I do, and my intuition is pretty accurate."

Xavier Matrix decided immediately: "Very good, next time you come over, we will conduct research on human intuition."

In fact, Lu Heng had already realized that Yuan Yaoyao must have traveled to and from the Sykes civilization more than once.

For her, Sykes civilization has become her second world.

This is a very good direction of development.

Cultivate a world where you gain more power and use it to gain strength.

Of course, when choosing to delve deeply into a world, you need to choose the right world based on your own talents and skills.

For example, Lu Heng himself would not choose the Sykes civilization, because his own talents and skills have nothing to do with mechanical civilization, and intensive cultivation in this world would not greatly improve his own combat power.

Yuan Yaoyao is different. She takes the mechanical enhancement route and has an extremely rare initial talent [Mechanical Heart]. All her skills are acquired around machinery.

Moreover, the first time she was recruited, she came into contact with Xavier Matrix, a top scientist of the Sykes civilization, and obtained the Black Feather Spirit, which was a perfect start.

If Lu Heng were her, she would also choose to delve deeply into the Sykes world and become deeply bound to this world.

However, this development path of focusing on one world will also encounter some drawbacks.

For example, Yuan Yaoyao is now deeply bound to the Sykes civilization. If one day the Sykes civilization is swallowed by the abyss, most of her previous efforts will be wasted.

Especially for the mechanical reinforcement route, this situation is even more serious. If the Sykes civilization perishes one day, Yuan Yaoyao's Black Feather Spirit will be unable to be maintained. After being damaged, no one will repair it, and it will be scrapped in no time.

Once she loses the Black Feather Spirit, her combat power will be halved.

Therefore, being deeply bound to a world does allow you to obtain resources from this world, but at the same time you also need to contribute to this world and fight against the abyss.

……

Lu Heng looked at Yuan Yaoyao's childish appearance and thought of many things.

Yuan Yaoyao waved her hand in front of Lu Heng and asked, "Brother Lu, why are you in a daze? The professor said that Earlstone Stella is indeed on the Queen Star. When are we going to investigate him?"

Lu Heng came back to his senses and agreed: "Well, let's discuss the action plan and then we can start."

Before starting the action, it is necessary to gather other recruits and hold a meeting to discuss the plan.

Lu Heng asked Jian Qing to notify all the allied recruits to come over.

After Jian Qing sent someone to make the contact, she asked, "Gather the people now. Have you confirmed the target?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied: "It has been preliminarily confirmed, but this mission is very dangerous and requires extra caution."

Jian Qing took a deep breath and said, "After discovering the looting team organized by the Creator, I finally knew that this time they recruited not only your super team, but also a team with similar strength to yours. The actual difficulty may be more than level 6. I would believe it if it was level 7."

Since Lu Heng did not explain to her that he was not recruited, she thought that Lu Heng's team and the looting team organized by the Creator were both recruited.

With the appearance of two super teams, how terrifyingly difficult would this task be?
Although Jian Qing misunderstood the way Lu Heng appeared, it would not be wrong to be cautious.

Besides, this mission is indeed dangerous.

Now the plundering team of the Creator Organization has been wanted by the military of the Sykes civilization, which means that this plundering team is unlikely to participate in the main mission.

In an abyss battlefield, if the main team does not participate in the mission, how can other teams with relatively lower combat power deal with the final BOSS?

If Lu Heng's team had not appeared, this recruitment mission would have required Jian Qing to lead the team to face the danger.

Even with Lu Heng's participation, it doesn't mean that this mission will become easy.

Lu Heng's team simply replaced the duties that the Creator Organization's plundering team was originally supposed to perform, which is equivalent to using one super team to replace another super team.

……

Since Jian Qing has a military background in Da Xia, he has a high reputation among the psychics.

Even if these recruited psychics are not convinced by her fighting ability, they will choose to believe in her character.

After all, the Daxia military has already conducted a strict review of the ideology and morality of this "Feng Hou", so there is no need to worry in this regard.

In the Abyss Battlefield, choosing who to ally with does not depend on how powerful that person is, but on whether that person is trustworthy.

Obviously, Jian Qing is the most trustworthy person in the entire abyss battlefield.

Forming an alliance with Jian Qing might not necessarily bring you much benefit, but at least you wouldn't have to worry about being backstabbed.

Therefore, Jian Qing established connections with many teams during these ten days.

There were five teams and twenty-one people in this gathering.

After everyone arrived, Jian Qing helped introduce: "Everyone, this Abyss Battlefield has reached its final stage.

“There are only five days left before we can return, but so far our main mission has not been completed.

“The purpose of calling everyone here this time is to prepare for the final action.

“Before we begin, let me introduce someone to you.

“In fact, even if I don’t introduce you, everyone should know you.

"We are very lucky to have three captains from Longwei come for this recruitment. For the next operations, I will follow the command of Captain Lu Heng. I hope everyone can advance and retreat together."

Normally, Lu Heng is relatively low-key and rarely appears in the circle of people with special abilities.

However, there are many legends about Lu Heng in the circle of people with special abilities.

Maybe some people have never seen Lu Heng in person, but everyone has heard of his name.

When these psychics heard that Lu Heng was also recruited, they felt a little complicated.

I was happy when I first heard it. After all, there was a powerful psychic leading the team. All I had to do was follow behind and help in the battle and be a good leg pendant. There wouldn't be that much pressure.

However, this also brings up another problem.

When a team with extraordinary combat power appears in an abyss battlefield, it means that the danger level of this abyss battlefield is extremely high.

In the first ten days, these psychics had no idea that such a strong team was being recruited this time.

The sudden appearance of Lu Heng's team made all the psychics present raise their expectations of the danger of this abyss battlefield.

Lu Heng stood up, took over the topic and said, “I won’t talk nonsense, let’s get straight to the point.

“The main mission this time is to investigate the mad scientist who studies mechanical demons. I know that you have been investigating Xavier Matrix for some time.

"I guess your investigation will lead to nothing because it is going in the wrong direction.

“I won’t explain the process and reasons, I’ll just give you the answer directly.

"The target of this mission should be the demon researcher named Earlstone Stella."

Having said that, Earlstone Stella's information appeared on the light screen.

Lu Heng continued, “Of course, I have only found the general information of Earlstone Stella and have not verified it yet.

“Based on the current clues, I am 80% sure that Earlstone Stella is the target of this main mission.

“The next thing we need to do is to verify whether this information is accurate.

“First, investigate Earlstone Stella’s whereabouts, and then investigate the project he was working on.

“Find the location of his laboratory and find the mechanical demons he created.

"Finally carry out the operation to destroy the mechanical demon and Earlstone Stella's laboratory.

"This is the current action plan, and the specific details still need to be discussed by everyone."
