The system handed me over to the state.

"Welcome, future generations."

"AI, tell me everything about your role, name, origin, and the function of the ruins and facilities."

Bronya's brief question surprised the AI, but it quickly responded: "Dawn-type AI No. 77 is responsible for managing the facilities left by the pioneers and providing assistance to future generations."

"The facility is used for weapons manufacturing. It can manufacture five types of weapons that the pioneers provided for future generations. I have detected that 167 facilities on the planet are already activated and I am trying to make contact with them."

"Disconnect, AI."

"Contact has been severed. Why? Only by establishing connections with other facilities can we play our greatest role."

Bronya pondered for a moment, then gave the order: "Establish a barrier to prevent any AI from accessing or contacting the facility, and block all entry channels and pathways, prohibiting anyone from entering."

"...is being implemented."

Clearly, the AI ​​was very confused, but it still carried out the task according to Bronya's orders. Zhan Yan and Ni Lei stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, what is this?"

“I plan to close this facility down and use it as an extended outpost or transit point for our future visits here.”

"Blocking anyone from entering will prevent this facility from falling into the hands of people from this world, and also..."

Bronya turned her gaze to the dragon girl in front of her. "AI, tell me who the Pioneer is?"

"This involves a very long period of history. Are you ready to listen, future generations?"

"Speak, little rabbit, write it all down."

The little rabbit beside her nodded, which also attracted the frequent sidelong glances of the dragon girl AI. She was very curious about this AI, who was also an AI and whose technology was obviously more powerful than hers. Had the technology of later generations surpassed theirs?

Next, the dragon girl began to recount the history of the pioneers through holographic projection. The history was very detailed and complete, and it took Bronya a full five hours to listen to the entire historical development. Bronya was basically certain that these facilities were not left by aliens, but by a civilization that had once been wiped out on Earth. Moreover, this complete history clearly had a function of inheritance.

"Hiss... So this facility, after hundreds of millions of years, is still able to continue operating, and it still looks completely intact. That's amazing!"

After listening to the performance, people expressed their feelings and reflected on the history they had just heard. It can be basically confirmed that these pioneers, the dragon people, and the dragon civilization were the eras in their history that corresponded to the dinosaurs.

Their extinction was not caused by a meteorite destroying the Earth, but by an internal war. A special weapon called the Lava Bomb turned the entire planet into a sea of ​​lava. The surviving dragon people and dragons built these facilities to preserve their lineage, and then went extinct thousands of years after losing their ability to reproduce.

This is outrageous! Other civilizations had dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago, but this world had giant dragons hundreds of millions of years ago, and there are no divine dragons. It's not scientific. Just because Western dragons can exist doesn't mean that the divine dragons of their land can't exist.

"AI, did you... had anything called a dragon in that era?"

"Divine Dragon?"

The dragon girl was puzzled for a moment. Bronya naturally knew what Ni Lei wanted to ask, so she directly released a holographic image of the dragon and asked. But to her surprise, after seeing the image, the dragon girl suddenly became excited, "It's a god! That's our god! Our Dragon God!"

Zhan Yan and Ni Lei were stunned, then their faces were filled with satisfaction. So, in that era, the dragon was actually the god of all dragon people and dragons! Now they were satisfied, completely satisfied.

"Dragon God...didn't your god save you?"

At this point, the dragon girl's mood darkened. She thought that if possible, it would be better to let Xiaoyun come and spend time with such an intelligent AI. The child would probably be very happy to have an AI friend.

"Lord Dragon God...the first person our people killed was Lord Dragon God..."

Good heavens, it seems there's a history of rebellion and god-slaying. Just how rebellious were the dragons of that era, engaging in both god-slaying and world-destroying wars?

Bronya sighed. "Your civilization's history... is truly unique."

Chapter 346: A Vision for a Parallel World of China

"Do you think there might be a parallel universe where our China dominates the entire Earth?"

Feeling utterly bored and with nothing to do, Zhan Yan and Ni Lei sat chatting near the facility's data center, watching Bronya standing in the data center researching something.

"I don't know. All I know is that the doctor has been standing there for a whole day, and three days have passed. The interior has been explored quite thoroughly. I think we can do something else now."

"Other things...you mean, the Divine Land of this world? Speaking of which, I'm quite curious too. Could the leaders of this Divine Land at this time be those people? Since the history of this world is similar to the Celestial Dynasty of the first parallel world, then the history should be consistent with theirs."

"What do you think?"

Ni Lei discussed matters related to the first parallel world. When asked about it, Ni Lei spread his hands and said, "I'm not very clear about it, but I do know one thing: in any case, this world should be a member of the future Pan-Socialist Alliance."

"And I'm also quite curious about their Gundam. Is it the Gundam like in the anime, or is it just a robot that's called Gundam?"

Even though they were both soldiers, they had fantasies about this when they were young, especially about their teammates' large, mechanically fascinating robots.

While infantry fighting mechs will undoubtedly become a mainstream vehicle in land warfare in China's future, they will only be infantry fighting mechs, not super-powerful Gundams... Sigh, I wonder if they'll ever be able to fly airplanes in the future.

Zhan Yan sighed. Just then, Bronya suddenly moved. She abruptly put away the data core in front of her, and the next moment all the lights and other lights inside the facility went out. Zhan Yan and Ni Lei stood up abruptly, and Bronya immediately said, "Don't be nervous, the facility has entered hibernation mode, it's normal."

Zhan Yan and Ni Lei gradually relaxed. "Doctor, has the matter been resolved?"

Bronya nodded and flicked her right hand. The dragon girl who had previously been an AI was now vividly displayed on Bronya's right hand.

"Future generations, is it really a good thing for you to separate me from the facility?"

The dragon girl AI was clearly puzzled by Bronya's decision. "I am in charge of managing this facility. If I leave, and someone else comes to this facility, it will become unusable, and I will also be unable to contact my fellow humans."

"Don't worry, I'll take you to a better place. With your talent, you shouldn't be limited to being a manager here. You should become... a developer."

The dragon girl was very puzzled, and finally shook her head in confusion. Bronya was somewhat helpless. It was obvious that although the dragon girl showed intelligence and emotions like a human, she was still limited in some aspects.

We'll take this back to Dr. Ji Chengtian and Xiaoyun and see if they have any way to get rid of this restriction. That way, Shenzhou will have two top-notch artificial intelligences (AIs), and they're the kind that are unlikely to betray us.

As for why it's said to be highly probable? Who can predict the future?

Moreover, when humanity begins to explore and colonize outer space, the distance between planets will increase, and communication between worlds will become more difficult. It's hard to say whether they will still be able to do what they do now.

"Okay, let's get ready to leave."

Bronya put away the dragon girl, who was currently inside Usagi's body. She could communicate and learn some things from Usagi, so at least she wouldn't feel lonely.

"We're finally leaving, Doctor. Where are we going next?"

"The capital of Shenzhou, we will now travel to the capital of Shenzhou in this world to see this world and Shenzhou."

Bronya immediately set their next goal, but Zhan Yan's expression froze for a moment. "But we... we don't even know where the capital is!"

Bronya shook her head. "It's alright, I've already found it. I've connected to their unique network channel through the interconnection between their facilities and infiltrated a lot of information about this world. Next, we just need to see for ourselves whether this world's China is worth communicating with."

Zhan Yan and Ni Lei exchanged a glance, both sensing a deep sense of powerlessness in each other's eyes. They felt that they had come to this world to carry out their mission, but had never been of any use.

I suddenly feel so useless...

Zhan Yan scratched his head. "Doctor, to be honest, we feel like you alone can solve all the problems from now on... We're kind of like... we're superfluous."

Bronya shook her head at the suggestion of the performance, "No need for that. You guys are still very useful. At least, without you, I would have been eating the food I brought with me for the past few days, and I wouldn't have been able to eat fresh, hot food."

Ni Lei touched his head. This role... well, it really is the most important function of a cook...

However, he inexplicably felt that his role was being underestimated, but given the Doctor's own abilities, he might really be... useless.

"Okay... how about we take charge of cooking from now on..."

Bronya simply smiled at Ni Lei's resentment, "You can also be in charge of intelligence gathering. You're much more professional than me in that area, aren't you?"

Zhan Yan shrugged. "We'll see, Doctor. What should we do next?"

Bronya looked up. "Let's move on. That's all. We'll spend the next five days driving to the capital. The jeeps are fast enough."

"After arriving in the capital, the three of us split up to conduct intelligence gathering within the capital. We would meet at night to organize the intelligence and go out to conduct reconnaissance during the day. That's it. Do you understand?"

"Understood, we understand, we will definitely complete the mission!"

Next, the three packed up all the things they had set up camp inside the facility and then returned along the same route they had taken to get out.

The moment they returned to the surface and saw the sunlight, Zhan Yan and Ni Lei felt refreshed. At the same time, they noticed that the ground around them was full of pits and holes of all sizes. Zhan Yan couldn't help but wonder, "These pits aren't very deep. The ruins are located so low down there. How did they find the ruins in this way?"

Bronya released the jeep. "It doesn't matter. We can just focus on our own things."

Bronya wasn't particularly interested in these things anymore; she had already learned enough about what she wanted to know. Now, she just wanted to finish her reconnaissance mission as soon as possible and go back.

Chapter 347: An Abnormal City

"My God... this is... the capital? I feel like I've entered a weird cyberpunk world?"

Ni Lei was stunned by the enormous three-dimensional city in front of him. Bronya was also shocked by the massive city in front of her. Had the technology of this world become so strange?

At this moment, what lies before the three of them is an extremely strange city. The area below this city is perfectly normal, just a normal city with houses and towns, but things start to go wrong as you go up.

The city before us is clearly divided into three layers. The first layer consists of the most normal town buildings and various small high-rise buildings on the ground.

In the middle, on the second floor, was a strange hoisting area. All the buildings in this area were suspended around the thick, light blue metal column in the middle, like wind chimes. There was also a train suspended in the air without any support, just like magic.

The uppermost area is the building area extending around the circular platform at the top of the column. It is also without any support, like a huge, spreading tree branch.

Bronya could tell that the thick, pale blue metal pillar was actually a ruin, a very large one, large enough to be part of the central area of ​​a vast city.

Moreover, it's quite obvious that there are clear differences between the buildings in the top area, the middle buildings, the rail trains, and the lower levels. Could it be... that there are still hierarchical differences in the Divine Continent of this world?

Bronya wasn't entirely sure, but that didn't stop her from making this guess.

After the speculation subsided, the three of them drove their vehicle closer to the city. Once they reached the city's edge, they were stopped by a wall—yes, a wall.

It is a metal wall specially built by the humans of this world, which protects the entire city like an impregnable fortress. Although the wall is not very high, it is enough to keep all humans out.

This also puzzled Bronya: Why build walls? What does building walls mean for humanity in this world?

To defend against foreign enemies? But while defending against foreign enemies, it also blocked its own people. Bronya was a little confused and puzzled about the reason for the appearance of the wall.

Bronya felt that she might need to interact with the people of this world in detail before she could find out why.

"Let's keep going. We can go straight over the wall and into the interior."

Bronya stowed the car and, with the help of the two, entered the city directly using the invisibility device.

However, Bronya was still somewhat surprised when she saw the checkpoint on the wall. The purpose of the wall seemed to be different from what she had imagined. Instead of checking the identity of each person entering the city, whether they had money or had to pay an entry fee, the checkpoint did not check their identity.

Instead, just like checking body temperature, guards would check the temperature of everyone entering the city in turn.

It seems that after a person's body temperature becomes abnormal, they are taken away immediately after being injected with some kind of drug.

It seems that besides technological anomalies, this world has other anomalies as well, such as diseases, and is not as wonderful as she imagined.

"Well then... let's split up and gather intelligence. The invisibility should keep you from being detected, but just to be safe, you should bring this with you."

Bronya handed two blue orbs to Zhan Yan and Ni Lei, saying, "Because we have some understanding of the technology in this world, we can't rule out the possibility that they might be able to break through our invisibility devices. If you encounter danger, use these orbs immediately, and they will teleport you directly to my side."

"Remember, intelligence gathering is one thing, but don't risk your life to do things you shouldn't!"

Bronya repeatedly reminded the two of the importance of safety.
