The system handed me over to the state.

Chapter 55: The Herrscher of Reason in a Parallel World

"It's amazing, sir. The various technologies hidden in that base are simply amazing. Look, there's a time-space teleporter that can teleport anywhere in the world anytime, anywhere, and an iron curtain device that makes target buildings or vehicles invincible for a short period of time."

"Frozen technology for rapid freezing, and these tanks, the Paladin Tank, one of the highest technological achievements of Europe in another world, and mind control technology."

Old Yu listened with dizziness as the researchers in front of him described one technology after another to him about the various technologies that existed in the base. For a moment, all he felt was shock and numbness.

After the researchers finished speaking, Lao Yu was completely numb and speechless....

For a long time... for a long time...

Old Yu slowly began to speak: "So..."

"So all this technology is ours now!"

Old Yu opened his mouth, but the researchers' expressions remained excited. "So, Commander, I suggest we immediately apply for assistance from the national level. This is not something our Southern Military Region can handle. It would require mobilizing all the researchers in the country to consume this amount of scientific and technological data!"

Old Yu stood up numbly, nodded, turned around and picked up the phone behind him. This phone was directly connected to His Majesty. Every leader of the four military regions had a phone that could directly connect to His Majesty.

Old Yu slowly picked up the phone, dialed the number, and after a brief busy signal, a dignified yet very young girl's voice came through the phone.

"Hey?"

"Your Majesty... I am Emperor Yuwan, the head of the Southern Military Region. I have something to report to you."

"speak."

Old Yu briefly recounted Bronya's achievements from the operation to the Emperor of Shenzhou on the other end of the phone. After listening, the Emperor remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I understand."

After saying that, the phone call ended. Old Yu sat back down, met the eager gazes of the researchers behind him, and shook his head. "Let's wait quietly for His Majesty's decision. If China can fully understand these technologies, and with our controlled nuclear fusion technology, I think we can... officially embark on our journey into space. Also, we need to distinguish which technologies are useful to us and which are useless."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the base, Bronya listened to Yuxin's comforting words on the phone, apologizing repeatedly and promising to return immediately. After all, she was the one who stood her up this time. Although Yuxin understood the importance of her mission, Bronya felt it was better to apologize.

After doing all that, Bronya sighed, put away the phone, turned around and went into the room behind her. Then, a pillow hit Bronya in the face.

Bronya slowly removed the pillow, looking at Seele sitting on the bed, huddled in the corner. "Seele... I..."

"Don't come any closer! Stay away from me!"

Blackie showed strong resistance. Bronya looked at the heavily armored bunny beside her, who spread its hands, indicating that it was powerless to help. Bronya sighed, conjured a military dagger with her right hand, and threw it on the bed. Blackie rushed over without hesitation, picked up the dagger, and pointed it at Bronya, saying, "You... what do you want to do?"

"Look at you. If you want to kill me, do it now. I won't resist in the slightest. But when you kill me, you will also have to take on my responsibility."

"Hahaha! Responsibility? You still have responsibility? Destroying the world? If I kill you, will you turn me into a mad Herrscher like you?"

Black Seele burst into laughter and mocked Bronya. Suddenly, Bronya rushed forward, cleanly and efficiently disarmed Seele, and pinned her against the wall.

Blackie's crimson eyes were fixed on Bronya, while Bronya's pale blue eyes were also fixed on Blackie. She threw the dagger in her hand aside. "You know very well that I am not 'her,' I am another 'her.' Now tell me, what exactly did 'she' do?"

Do you really want to know? You might have a meltdown after finding out!

"tell me!"

Bronya pressed down again, her nose lightly touching Blackie's, causing a slight tickle. Their warm breaths brushed against each other's faces. Just then, the door to the room opened.

A female soldier stood blankly at the door, then quickly closed it again. Bronya turned around, got up from Blackie, and reached out to straighten the clothes that revealed Blackie's belly. "Tell me what happened. This world hasn't collapsed, and I won't cause it. You can tell me without worry."

Kuroki stared blankly at the pure white ceiling for a moment, "A world that hasn't collapsed...?"

An hour later, Blackie curled up in Bronya's arms, her head bowed and buried in Bronya's chest. Bronya stroked Blackie's long hair, trying to comfort her, but her heart was far from calm.

Because she had just learned about the future of Black Hera's world, a terrifying world... A Herrscher of Reason named Bronya ruled the entire world, using her abilities to control all the electronic devices in the world.

Just like the future of humanity in the Terminator movies, except it's not called Skynet, but Herrscher of Reason. Tanks and armored vehicles, fighter jets and bombers, under the Herrscher of Reason's power, become killing machines. Schicksal's powerful Valkyries are transformed into cyborgs, and Anti-Entropy is completely annihilated by the Titan mechs and nuclear bombs controlled by the Herrscher of Reason.

St. Freya Academy was destroyed by the cannons of the Moon Throne and the Hyperion, and the immortals of Shenzhou died on Mount Taixu in the face of endless enemies.

The Archbishop of Destiny, who was always in control of the situation, was captured by his own Soul Steel clone and transformed into the most trusted strategist under the Herrscher of Reason.

Then... in just one day, nuclear bombs and special Honkai energy bombs completely destroyed most of the world.

As the last person who could awaken the Herrscher's humanity, Seele Vollerie had her two personalities split apart by the Herrscher of Reason. The innocent and lovely personality that liked to call her Bronya was killed by her own hands, while the other, herself, was banished into the chaotic Quanta Sea.

Then he was captured and treated as a test subject in that bio-tank, where he underwent all sorts of quantum experiments.

Until Seele died, she still trusted and believed that her sister Bronya could come back, but... she never had any chance of being awakened.

"sorry...."

Bronya hesitated for a long time before finally speaking apologetically. Black Seele did not respond, but simply huddled in Bronya's arms, trembling. She clearly felt and experienced all the pain and despair that the other Seele had felt when she died.

When Bronya looked down again, Blackie had already fallen into a deep sleep. She sighed softly, hugged Blackie, and lay down on the bed. "Sleep...get some sleep, and everything will be better."

Chapter 56: A Bountiful Harvest

"I never expected that the contractor would actually be a Chinese..."

Old Yu looked at the male contractor imprisoned in the metal cage with a slightly complicated expression. The contractor glared at them fiercely. Old Yu shook his head helplessly. He didn't quite understand why the other party was so hostile to them.

At that moment, a slightly light footstep sound came from behind. Old Yu turned around and bowed to the petite girl behind him, "Your Majesty, you have arrived."

The petite girl nodded. Although she was small in stature and dressed in a cute, childlike style, the dignified expression on her face and her indifferent eyes carried an invisible air of intimidation.

The man struggled even more violently when he saw the girl.

The girl looked at Bronya beside her. Bronya was staring at her intently. The girl gave her a kind smile, and Bronya followed Old Yu's example, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"I am also very happy to see you, Herrscher of Reason, Bronya Zaychek. Thank you for everything you have done for China so far. This time, your contribution is enormous. When we return, we will reward you for your contributions."

"Remove the veil from his mouth."

Bronya nodded. The metallic blue light that had sealed the man's mouth flashed and disappeared as blue particles. The man, now free from the seal, immediately revealed a mocking smile as he stared at the girl before him.

"Oh my, look who this is! The Emperor of Shenzhou, His Majesty the Emperor has actually come to see me in person! Me!"

The girl shook her head. "I'll only ask you two questions: what's your name, and why did you betray your country?"

"Hehe... Remember this well, my name is Long Aotian. I have never betrayed my country. I only wanted to make her better and liberate her from the hands of you ignorant people. She should stand at the top of the world and rule the entire world!"

The girl rubbed her head helplessly, "Another child like this... Alright, alright, Lao Yu!"

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Take him back and send him to a military court for trial according to the law."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Old Yu waved his hand, and Bronya stepped forward, placing her right hand on Long Aotian's neck, the blue structural energy penetrating deep into his body.

This is an insurance policy. She was afraid that this guy might be hiding some special abilities or items, and it wouldn't be good if he escaped. So she specifically took out an insurance policy: if this guy uses any special abilities, the construct energy will directly erode his body.

After having the soldiers take the man and the massive metal sphere with him away, Bronya looked at the girl beside her and said, "Nice to meet you, Your Majesty."

"Nice to meet you, Bronya. I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I just haven't had the time."

The girl looked somewhat regretful. "Well then, let me introduce myself. My name is Su Mengyao, the current emperor of Shenzhou."

"Bronya, the Herrscher of Reason, contractor, it's a pleasure to meet Your Majesty. Is there anything I can do for you now?"

After some polite remarks, both girls laughed. Su Mengyao promptly turned her head away, saying, "This kind of conversation is so strange. Isn't it too formulaic?"

"I think so too. I feel like maybe we can... relax a little more?"

Su Mengyao stared at Bronya, her eyes darting around as if she were deep in thought. After a moment's consideration, Su Mengyao smiled and said, "You control everything in this base now, right?"

Bronya nodded. Of course, the entire base is currently under her control. The technicians who were teleported here are gradually exploring this huge underground base. Once they have explored it enough, Bronya will hand over control of the base.

Su Mengyao looked at the control room, which was full of people, and couldn't help but sigh. Just a few days ago, she was inspecting the disaster area in the west. When she received this news, she was stunned. After reading the briefing this morning, she felt overjoyed, as if a treasure had fallen from the sky.

What's most important? This guy named Long Aotian seems to be too confident. He directly set up his base underground in Shennongjia, China. In other words, this base is completely located within China.

If this base were established in the Pacific Ocean or some remote corner, transferring too many resources abroad could easily cause tension and questioning from the United States and Europe. Therefore, she had no choice but to thank Long Aotian!

"That's great... I want to become a Contractor too... Hey! Can you let me become a Contractor?"

Bronya looked slightly embarrassed in the face of Su Mengyao's expectant gaze. Old Yu coughed lightly beside her, "Ahem! Your Majesty... you may want a contractor, but you need to... find a successor."

Su Mengyao's face immediately fell, and her cute puffed-out cheeks made Bronya turn her head away, covering her nose and blushing. Damn it! Is this the power of the nation's wife?

"Hmm...really...never mind, I'll just accept my fate...oh, by the way, you've found so many good things for us this time, is there anything you want? If you want to be my wife, I wouldn't mind."

"Cough cough!"

Old Yu coughed again beside him. What kind of outrageous talk is this?! Your Majesty, please restrain yourself.

Bronya's lips twitched slightly. She knew the importance of the technology she had acquired. For Shenzhou, the hyperspace teleporter was not only an instrument for conducting global hyperspace strikes, but also an important instrument for further research into space.

If the Iron Curtain device is developed in the future, it will become an invincible device that can act on the entire spaceship. When that happens, I will build a assault ship and drive the Iron Curtain directly to ram you. What can you do then?

As for mind technology... it's hard to say, but if one can awaken and guide mental abilities in the right way, it seems like a good option.

There are other miscellaneous vehicles, weapons, and technologies, which I won't go into detail about.

But ironically, faced with the promises His Majesty made to her, she really couldn't think of anything she wanted for the time being.

Money? She owns her own company, a state-owned enterprise supported by the government, so she's not short of money at all. Power? She's already a major general, so why would she lack power? Besides, Bronya thinks her major general rank might only be temporary, and she might even be promoted later.

So you see, she has both money and power, and she really... doesn't know what else to ask for.

So Bronya decisively changed the subject, "Um... Your Majesty, I wonder how the selection of the second contractor is going? Has he/she been announced yet?"

Su Mengyao opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Lao Yu beside her in astonishment. Lao Yu pretended to be innocent, saying it was none of his business and not to look at him.

"You really are...surprising."

Chapter 57: What do you think?

"How are you feeling? Are you adjusting well?"

Bronya entered the room and immediately saw Blackie sitting on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. Upon seeing Bronya enter, Blackie's first reaction was to find a place to hide, but after stiffening for a moment, she relaxed.

"You've come..."

"Hmm, how are you feeling?"

Hei hope didn't meet Bronya's gaze, looking down at the floor in front of her. "Those guys said I'll be able to move around normally after a few more days of rehabilitation..."

You've changed...
