Marvel Universe's Ultimate Martial Arts School

The underground ecosystem is relatively simple, with a small amount of moss and green plants, but no trace of other organisms.

Since the goal is to find intelligent life, the area most frequently explored is naturally the warehouse.

Perhaps because it was built the earliest, there are more cargo transport tracks in District F, and most of the warehouses are small warehouses, about 30 square meters in size, with only a few silver-grade warehouses occasionally.

Strangely, when Lin Feng inspected these warehouses, they were almost all empty.

There was no Xuan Tie essence, no robots, and not even the core of a fire spirit.

All the warehouses were cleaner than the face of a fire sprite.

"Was Area F abandoned a long time ago?" The fire sprite felt somewhat incredulous.

It still remembered the chaos that ensued when the Kree ordered the mines to be shut down in Area C. The black iron essence in the warehouse couldn't be moved in time, so how could it be completely emptied?

Unless F mine has been out of use for a long time, the rumor that robots in F mine helped the fire sprites escape is probably false.

After investigating dozens of warehouses in the surrounding area, they discovered some more clues.

Within a certain area, the warehouses near the north side were all emptied, while the warehouses in the other three directions were in the same normal sealed-off state as Area C.

Following this clue further north, sure enough, the warehouses found in this direction were all empty, and the underground ecosystem began to grow more and more.

It wasn't until the surroundings started to feel damp that patches of moss began to spread throughout the mine shaft and cover the tracks, turning it into what looked like an underground forest.

Mosquitoes started to multiply, and the presence of mosquitoes often indicates the existence of biological life. The dampness and water here are the source of life, which made Lin Feng and the fire spirit somewhat excited. Although they might not be mechanical life, any discovery would always be a help.

Continuing forward, a huge underground lake soon came into view.

Here, the trees are lush and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers. Several small, white, mouse-like creatures disappear into the grass.

Lin Feng spread his mental energy outwards, his perception covering a ten-kilometer radius. Although it couldn't cover the entire lake and the surrounding forest, he was able to spot the target with just a sweep of his mental energy.

In the heart of the forest, a primitive village suddenly appeared, with treehouses built of wood clustered together in the center of the forest.

But the creatures living in these treehouses are not biological beings, but robots!

Unlike the stereotypical and replicable nature of robots, these robots seem to live in a human-like way, forming families and even mimicking the social patterns of primitive humans with a clear division of labor.

Besides the power outlets for the robots, the treehouses also contained fishing tools for the lake, fishing nets woven from dried tree bark, dried fish drying in the sun, and even clothes being woven from unfinished leaves... Lin Feng felt like he was seeing a ghost.

What are these steel creatures fishing for? Do they need this stuff as food?

And robots wearing clothes? Is that even necessary?

On the other side of the village, there are three factories.

One is a primitive kinetic energy power plant, where a robot mechanically turns a crank, causing the generator gears to rotate and converting kinetic energy into electrical energy.

Although primitive, its energy conversion rate is surprisingly high.

The second factory was actually used for food processing, with piles of caught fish and shrimp, as well as harvested plants, heating furnaces, and large pots.

The last one is a machine factory, piled with many cut pieces of Xuan Iron Essence, as well as a high-temperature furnace specifically used to refine Xuan Iron Essence. It seems to have been dismantled from somewhere in an underground mine and has been standing here for a long time, used to create parts for various robots.

It seemed that some grand ceremony was taking place in the village at this moment, and all the robots were indeed dressed in various styles of bark and leaf clothing, gathered in the machine factory.

Mechanical life!

Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

They actually found it!

Lin Feng counted them and there were exactly eighty. The leading robot had ancient totems painted on its body and was surrounded by all the other robots in the center.

In front of him, a robot that looked very small was lying on the workshop platform in the factory.

It is only one meter tall and is quite exquisitely crafted compared to other robots. It has a more human-like appearance, and even the bones on its arms are completely modeled after human skeletons.

The leading robot was speaking, but it wasn't the mechanical race's code sound waves; instead, it was the elven language that Lin Feng had just 'learned' from the fire elves!

"The tribe will welcome a new member, our youngest brother, the brand new Number 81!" The leading robot, whose body was painted with totems, said as it circled around the small robot, as if performing some kind of sacred ritual.

The other robots sat in a circle, swaying their heads and chanting in the Elven language along with their leader.

"Our youngest brother, number 81!"

"May the god of life grant it a new life, may the mechanical heart bring it a new future..."

As the leader spoke, he carefully inserted a glowing object into the circuit board of the small robot. Then all the robots stopped making any noise or moving, staring at it with tension and anticipation.

sizzle...

With the insertion of the luminous object, the little robot seemed to gain consciousness, immediately opening its eyes. It curiously looked around and then emitted a series of hissing electrical noises.

It instinctively tried to get up so it could see more, but its mechanical arms and limbs seemed to have no idea how to get up, and it twisted and turned wildly on the workshop platform.

Lin Feng watched with interest from several miles away and did not intend to go over and disturb them immediately.

Is this a failed work?

But the robots didn't seem disappointed at all; instead, they looked even more excited.

The leader turned the little robot's head toward him, then lay down to demonstrate how to get up.

The little robot clearly had a strong learning ability; it immediately mastered the action and then propped itself up on the workshop platform.

Many robots couldn't help but cheer it on excitedly.

The leader gestured for everyone to be quiet, and then began to demonstrate walking, running, and jumping to Number 81.

Little Robot No. 81 seemed very interested in these things and learned them in no time, until the leader began to teach it its first phrase in the fire spirit language: "Hello! Brother!"

The camera's eyeballs rolled around in their sockets several times, and after emitting seven or eight hissing electrical sounds, it successfully mimicked the leader's language.

"Hello! Brother!" it said cheerfully to the leader, and then said the same to the other robots around it, as if it could sense and understand the meaning of the words.

The next second, the robot leader and the other robots burst into excited cheers.

"We did it! We did it!"

"This is a true mechanical heart, free from any inviolable restrictive commands. It can acquire knowledge through observation and learning, rather than relying solely on cold, hard data transmission!"

"This will endow it with a unique perception and creativity that none of us have ever possessed!"

"Only with creativity can we perceive the laws of the universe, break free from the bottlenecks and constraints of knowledge, escape the purging of supreme wisdom, and lead our people away from this damned mining planet!"

"There's finally hope!"
