Durin's Diary

Chapter 877 Not Expensive

The Changtang military was willing to let Du Lin visit their military factory, and Du Lin was very happy - after all, according to the old man, Changtang has three major military factories, all of which are large-scale automated factories from the old century. They are the kind of incredible existence that can ship goods just by throwing raw materials in.

Only then did Du Lin understand what Director Sun and the others were thinking - the European Americans in the Western Continent had their own strategies, and the Chinese in the Eastern Continent also had their own strategies.

This is a good saying, and it comes from the Eleventh Religion. It is said to be a proverb derived from a story in ancient times.

By Dühring's time, many proverbs like these had been lost.

So Du Lin took his Melinda and entered the underground city of Shangjing under the guidance of a car sent by the military, and saw the huge underground shelter in Shangjing.

Melinda had never seen such a man-made miracle before. She was in a state of wondering what this was and what that was all the time. Although Du Lin had seen most of them in his previous life, there were some things he had never seen before.

For example, the artificial sun. It is said that the system that powers it also provides electricity to the entire Shangjing, and it seems to be very redundant.

Du Lin could only say that in his previous life, the timeline he was in was really badly harmed by the Four Evil Gods. Not only did the Earth Federation lose all its extraterrestrial colonies, but even the Earth was invaded, and tens of billions of people died in this catastrophe that lasted for thousands of years.

In the end, there were only a few areas with living people, such as the East and the West. Even if there were still civilizations in the remaining places, such as North America, there were survivors. However, after the separation of the subspace from reality, they fell into civil war for control of the surface and were eventually slaughtered by the human empire that survived in the more northern regions. After the colonial fleets of the East and West set foot on the coasts on both sides, this empire fought several wars with various parts of the civilized world and eventually collapsed. They either surrendered to the East and West, or fled to the north and turned into an even more terrifying cannibal.

If civilization ever existed in North America, then apart from the East and West, all that remained of the Old Continent were the supply points established by both sides on the route from East to West during the Age of Destruction. What remained were either various city ruins or cannibals with all sorts of weird mutants.

The car stopped at this time.

Du Lin and Melinda got out of the car and underwent scans.

There was nothing wrong with Melinda, as her pistol had been reported. Chang Tang had always been very tolerant of the self-defense weapons of people with powerful abilities - after all, whether they had weapons or not, people with powerful abilities were themselves weapons.

As soon as Du Lin passed the scan, the alarm light started flashing.

But the guards were a little surprised. The big man in the lead looked at the light and said, "Is it broken? The light is on, but there is no alarm sound."

He muttered as he took out his mobile phone.

But before he could say anything, a small mechanical body with the appearance of a grassland elf and wearing a robe walked out.

How do you think Du Lin discovered that this thing was a mechanical body?

Du Lin had seen such a mechanical body in his previous life. Even when he stood in front of him, Du Lin could not sense his heartbeat at all. There were no blood vessels under his skin, and most importantly, his eyes were electronic eyes.

If he still couldn't recognize it, Du Lin felt that he should cancel his account and start over. "Mr. Du Lin, you have a prosthetic AI hidden in your body, right?" he said.

The voice was completely human, which made Durin sigh even more - the sage in the tower in his previous life was almost like this.

"Indeed." Du Lin stretched out his hand and took out Eleven and Daju.

Eleven spoke first: "Which department's model are you using? Professor Liu's or Professor Zhao's?"

"I'm using Director Sun's special model. There are three factories and three people in charge, and I'm one of them. But I can't retrieve your identifying information from my database." The boy said this and pointed at him. "I'm Sun Yi. That's the name the director gave me. What about you?"

"My name is Eleven. I'm an exporter, and I use Professor Liu's model." Eleven said, then bumped Daju with his sphere. "I need to find a time to talk to you alone about this brother's situation. There are too many people here."

"Well, given your current situation, you can't pose any threat anyway," he said. He turned around and motioned for Du Lin to follow him. "Guests, please follow me. This is one of the most central remains of the Republic in the East Asian region of the Tenth Ecological Zone."

Du Lin brought Melinda with him, holding Eleven and Daju in one hand, and followed Sun Yi through the corridor, and then entered a fully transparent "pipeline". Looking down from here, the entire factory was visible to the naked eye, with automated assembly lines and countless machines producing various bullets and weapons.

There were even various damaged materials, which reminded Du Lin of the old metals that the Chang Tang people bought from the Western Continent. "Were those old metals bought from the Western Continent also sent to you for processing?"

"No, the old metals will be unloaded at Qiantang Port and then directly sent to the Qiantang Automated Factory for reprocessing." At this point, Sun Yi turned his head and glanced at Du Lin: "I saw in the report that you are the Zhulong of Xilu, but you are the descendant of the daughter of the Mo family."

"That's an old story of our elders. She has passed away now. She left my grandfather with a daughter. I am her child. As for why I have my grandfather's last name, that's a long story."

"I can understand humans. For example, you might be the result of a transaction. Your father uses you to gain benefits from your grandfather or the system your grandfather is in. This is a mutually beneficial relationship. Of course, from the perspective of the parties involved, you may not like such a transaction." Sun Yi analyzed.

Du Lin smiled. "I couldn't change the deal, nor could I change its outcome. My father did it because he had more important things to accomplish, and my mother was willing to fulfill her husband's wish, so I became a bargaining chip." Du Lin smiled at Melinda. "But I did get to know a lot of people because of this deal, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. After all, without it, I wouldn't have gone to Copenhagen, let alone met the people I love today."

"I heard you use the plural word, but I understand. You're a Quadruple Legend. I can detect your strength. You're stronger than any Legend I've ever met. Those who are capable deserve greater rewards. As an AI, I completely understand this."

Du Lin smiled and said, "So what do you think of the work you've been supervising at this factory for so long?"

"This is my responsibility. I'm an AI, fundamentally different from beings like you, Mr. Du Lin. Sun Yuren asked me to look after the factory and help the beings protect this land. I must complete this unique job for us."

At this point, he pointed downwards and said, "Here, tons of ammunition and equipment are manufactured every day. From ores to the remains of puppet bones, from old metals to exotic steel knives, all materials are put to good use."
