Chapter 703 Celestial Killer

The satellite ground station, shaped like a giant spherical building, stands silently.

The light nucleus at Kunming Station observes the sky.

It is waiting for someone to arrive.

Today, Kunming Station not only has 12 satellites in the sky as its eyes, but its own capabilities have also undergone a qualitative change, transforming into a transparent and smooth crystal structure.

With that person's help, it transformed from a solid cloud into a light core, becoming the first gemstone-built life form in the history of this earth.

A black creature covered in sharp spikes appeared in the high-altitude view and slowly descended.

A young man with black hair stepped out from there.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The other person smiled and said, "It's been several years since I last visited United City."

"Mr. Zhou, it is an honor to have you here. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly."

The Kunming station representative said, "There are unavoidable reasons why you have come all this way."

It had a touch of melancholy.

Once upon a time, the two sides were equal partners.

Kunming Station aims to lead the United City and the Company to rival each other, exploring the future of architectural life along two separate routes. It has done a good job, creating a unique, heterogeneous city with architectural life as its core.

However, when they came to their senses, they found that the company had left them far behind in every area.

Kunming Station is striving to catch up, hoping to narrow the gap and even achieve a breakthrough in certain areas to overtake others.

As long as we firmly unite and mobilize the alien group, it is not impossible for us to catch up and surpass them...

After all, United City has always been committed to bringing life to buildings, and now has a total of 37, the most in the world!

However, the company recently announced the opening of a funded promotion channel for architectural life. Eligible architectural life members can apply for company assistance to complete the transformation of their light core.

At that moment, Kunming Station felt as if struck by lightning.

Finished!

The company has taken the lead in opening the door to the future.

The gap is much larger than originally expected...

Since things have come to this point, the only option is to change one's mindset.

Therefore, the Kunming station became even more humble towards Zhou Yi, the person in charge of the company.

"It's okay, I just happen to be on vacation these days."

The black-haired man opposite said, "It's good to come here for a visit and a chat, to change your mood. By the way, you mentioned there's a special situation here, what is it?"

"Please come with me."

The train took off from Kunming Station and flew all the way to the central area of ​​the United City.

The scene here left Zhou Yi, who was visiting, looking astonished.

"How are all the life cycles of buildings connected?"

Just as he saw it.

The city center of Union City, with the Olympic Sports Center as its core and foundation, is surrounded and connected by a series of buildings, resembling a towering fortress that soars into the sky.

A sense of pride welled up in Kunming Station.

It explained: "Mr. Zhou, this is a special architectural life cluster constructed by United City. It is called the United Entity and is a technology and ecological structure created by United City."

"The complex is composed of 33 interconnected buildings, including Meizhou Prison, Happy Valley, and the water plant dormitory. It is divided into 33 floors from bottom to top and can accommodate 20 people to live inside for a long time. Each floor is maintained by a building life."

"The first floor is the Olympic Sports Center, where we still hold various sports events, including electric cat races, table tennis, football, basketball and other competitions."

"The second floor is Happy Valley, which is an amusement park with increasingly complete entertainment facilities... The top floor is Meizhou Prison, where prisoners are held."

The visitor looked on with curiosity: "How did you do that? Our company previously promoted the connection between the life of buildings, and we also achieved it through public areas. This kind of complete integration into a whole... it's like a Transformer, it's amazing."

"If it's inconvenient to disclose, then never mind... I'm just curious."

“No inconvenience at all. The reason we invited Mr. Zhou here today is to share this technology from our consortium with your company.”

Kunming Station thought to himself, "This is United City's biggest trump card."

A good hand should be used wisely.

The present is the golden age of architecture.

Since it's impossible to keep up with the company's pace, then demonstrate unique value and become an integral and important member of this chariot.

The Kunming Station is suspended 20 centimeters above the ground. Zhou Yi said, "The formation of the consortium is based on the in-depth development of the previous public areas."

"Please look."

It projects a beam of light through its light core onto the massive complex next to it, marking the intervals between each layer.

Zhou Yi looked on thoughtfully: "It seems that the adhesive connection is achieved through this special separator built between the layers?"

"You could say the same thing."

The light projected from Kunming Station illuminated the entire interior of the complex, revealing a massive, unique silver skeleton.

"Metal?"

The other person's eyes widened slightly: "Wait. It's electromechanical lifeform? You're using electromechanical lifeform to connect with architectural lifeform?"

"Mr. Zhou is indeed knowledgeable."

Kunming Station offered a slight compliment: "Our extensive testing revealed that it takes a long time for building life forms to adapt and overcome their instinctive repulsion. However, if electro-electronic life forms act as a buffer, they can not only physically prevent direct friction in many areas, but also separate the realm of consciousness through fragments of consciousness, preventing the absorption of consciousness and ensuring that everyone does not lose their individual consciousness due to being connected as one."

"The current consortium, which we call 'Consortium 1,' consists of 33 Class C to B electromechanical lifeforms, which act as the internal adhesive and barrier."

"It's like a reinforced skeleton implanted in humans. As time goes on, the life forms of the buildings will become deeply connected with each other without affecting their independent functions and individuality."

Zhou Yi listened with amazement: "The public area was something the company figured out on its own. I never expected it to have developed to this stage in United City, while we've been stuck in the same place. I'm really ashamed."

Kunming Station stated, "It's just a different direction. Your company's direction is higher and bigger, transforming Emerald City, Wuhu Elevated Road, and Maria Hospital into light cores. The strength and capability evolution they demonstrate are of great strategic significance."

"Due to limitations, our United City could only choose to develop horizontally. Based on our local characteristics and foundation, we tried to unite more architectural lives, which led to the United City we have today."

The young chairman chuckled: "That's true. Everyone is developing along paths that suit them. Now that we've come together, we can unleash a power that's far greater than the sum of its parts."

"Yes."

The Kunming station stated directly: "Mr. Zhou, the United City wants to participate in the battle against Celestial Beings! We request to join!"

The other party said, "Doesn't that violate your consistent neutral stance of remaining uninvolved?"

“There is no such thing as true neutrality in this world; neutrality is also a stance.” Kunming Station stopped beating around the bush: “In the past, although we claimed to be neutral, we actually accepted funding and protection from the Electromechanical City, so we were also subject to their constraints and influences. It’s just that the United City is far from the center of the world and can live in a secluded corner.”

“We were originally the target of suppression and annexation by the old forces, but because your company is more prominent and outstanding, it has helped us attract a lot of attention and hatred, allowing us to have these years of steady development.”

"But if architectural life is to truly win everyone's respect and recognition and become an important force in this world, then it cannot continue to hide and escape."

"Those who have never fought together cannot be comrades who trust each other."

"United City wants to get involved at the center of the world this time."

"We choose to stand by your side, and this time we will not run away or dodge! Our attitude is the attitude of all buildings in the city."

……

Kunming Station received a notification from Zhou Yi not long ago. The Wasteland Development Company will be modifying the Celestials, ending their era of colonizing Earth and restoring Earth to its former independence for native life.

The world has come to a critical crossroads.

During internal discussions within the city of Union.

The Kunming station directly stated: "I'm joining the fight."

"There are three reasons."

"One opportunity for the evolution of architectural life lies with the wasteland development companies. Being around them is beneficial for the growth and evolution of architectural life."

"Secondly, the Celestials' dominance has declined significantly, and they are no longer invincible. The company also has a powerful ally outside, the Giant Bone Fish, which has a record of killing several Celestials and is also training more Bone Fish warriors to target and hunt down Celestials..."

"According to the intelligence I obtained from the Nightmare Clan, six of the seven Celestials on Earth are openly identified as either rebels or centrists. We all know that the centrists are essentially tacitly approved, while the die-hard loyalists have already been eliminated by the company."

"Thirdly, the company is not without options. Zhou Yi has been developing the moon for several years now. It is a forbidden zone for humans and celestial beings. If this war of independence is unfavorable or unsuccessful, the company can relocate to the moon and make a comeback."

Kunming Station tells other buildings: "Most importantly, although we are currently developing well horizontally, there will always be a limit to the number of buildings we can build."

"To extend the life of a building, we must join hands with the company to break through the life cycle and enter the light core body."

"Finally, let me emphasize one point: the golden period of development over the past decade has been driven by the rapid increase in productivity and wealth brought about by the company, which has greatly mitigated conflicts between different sectors and groups. This situation is not replicable."

"If the company fails in its battle against Celestial Being, the Earth's order will be reshuffled, and both United City and the Building Life will face various shocks and dangers brought about by the Chaotic Era..."

"Without a company to act as a ballast and buffer, the life of a building lacks a collective consensus and a united organization, and will still be defeated one by one, becoming prey in the eyes of all parties."

"If the company wins, we will fall behind again because we didn't get on board. Without fighting together, we can't be one of our own and will definitely be excluded."

"So even if we lose the war, we can still relocate the United City to the moon. On that energy-rich planet, building life would be a breeze. Even in the worst-case scenario, it would be extremely advantageous for us. Only under these circumstances can we enter the sealed-off and controlled moon."

"in addition."

Kunming Station added, "There's one more point you might have overlooked. That is, the electromechanical life group led by the Legal Front is completely on the company's side this time."

"Mechatronics are the group that values ​​data and results the most. They calculate everything in the world and make decisions after weighing the pros and cons."

"They're on the company's side for only one reason: in the repeated calculations by the Electromechanical City, the company has a winning percentage of over 60% against Tianren!"

Kunming Station originally thought that there would be a lot of disagreement about this decision.

Unexpectedly, in the final vote, only two architectural figures in the entire United City abstained from voting, and one voted against participating in the war—the reason being that this "Peace Monument" from old Japan was an absolute pacifist who rejected any form of war and confrontation.

Everyone else agreed to participate in the war.

The main reason is that everyone desires to become a light nucleus.

Plus, even if they lose the war, they can escape to the moon, making it a high-return, low-risk endeavor.

……

After listening to Kunming Station's account of their participation in the war, Zhou Yi showed an expression of understanding.

"I must state that although we will not be engaging in traditional warfare, fighting against the celestial beings carries an uncontrollable risk of casualties."

"Understood. We are prepared to bear the consequences."

Kunming Station said, "However... could we prioritize having the building life forms of our United City complete their Light Core advancement first? They need to become stronger to be of help to the overall operation, right?"

The other party smiled and said, "Of course. Any resources must first be allocated to our soldiers, whether the battle is on the front lines, in logistics, or in the technical field, it is still a battlefield."

"We will deploy solid cloud tinctures to the 37 building life forms here tomorrow to help you evolve into light core bodies."

Kunming Station is overjoyed.

Worth it!

"And one more thing."

Zhou Yi suddenly said, "Architectural complexes remind me of the structure of celestial beings. They are prefabricated life forms, which are combined life forms composed of two or more basic units."

"The consortium you have here is actually a type of assembly."

"I'm thinking... if we evolve and advance along this path, expanding into larger and stronger bodies, and incorporating more basic life forms, wouldn't we become another form of celestial beings?"

Kunming Station asked, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

The young man smiled slightly: "We use the life of architecture to create our own heaven and man, and use heaven and man to fight against heaven and man."

Kunming Station was stunned: "This...is this really possible? The difference in life strength is too great..."

"Don't worry."

The other party waved their hand: "We have professional instructors."

"Just now, I reached an agreement with the Giant Bone Fish Earth Demon. It will give the building life special training to turn them into super warriors capable of fighting against the Celestials."

Kunming Station feels somewhat helpless.

I originally thought that the life of a building only required functions such as logistics and housing.

It looks like I have to go to the front lines now, and many of my comrades will have to sacrifice themselves because of it... Sigh.

Zhou Yi seemed to see through its thoughts: "Are you worried about a large number of casualties?"

"That's not necessary."

"The giant bone fish breeds only restraint and crush the Celestial Warriors; there is no such thing as a tug-of-war on the battlefield."

"If he can successfully leave the mountain, he will become a killer of the gods."

"It has a very high opinion of you, believing that you possess the strongest talent among life forms on Earth and will have a great advantage in fighting against the Celestials."

Kunming Station was a bit confused.

The architectural life that was captured and sold by various groups in the past will shut down and fall into a deep sleep once it enters the Dead Sea.

Now you say that we are fighting against the heavens and humans, and the advantage lies with us?
Originally, building life forms were only suitable for logistics and support roles in combat... but we've become the main force? Or rather, killers of the Celestials?
I really don't understand this world.
