The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

"Come to think of it, I remember that at this time every day, a nurse would come to deliver breakfast..." Desdobia said as she shifted her gaze towards the door, and then saw the breakfast quietly placed next to it.

Desdobia: "..."

When did they come?

Kosmo: "..."

Probably... didn't see anything?

Chapter 239 Armed Doll

"Dr. Einstein, is this what you call an armed puppet?" A researcher looked at the mini puppet in front of him and said to the researcher next to him who had blue hair with a part of red highlights.

"Yes, when we first designed this weapon, we thought it would give the warriors more help in the fight against Honkai, and compared to the bulky Titans, the Armed Dolls can be used in more varied terrains and combat environments." Einstein said expressionlessly, "It's just that... the complete manufacturing process of the Armed Dolls has just been formed, and the Fusion Warrior Project has already been proposed."

Compared to the armed puppets controlled by programs, fusion warriors can play a much stronger role in some more complex combat situations. In addition, among all the fusion warriors currently registered, each one can deal with a small outbreak of collapse on its own. In comparison, armed puppets seem a little weak.

However, due to the extremely low success rate of fusion warrior operations so far, compared with the time and materials required to make armed puppets, the fusion warrior plan is not as good as the armed puppets.

Moreover, armed puppets can be used in many aspects, not just combat. Just like after the Tenth Herrscher incident, Mebius used Einstein's technology to make a puppet of Klein by himself, and then started the puppet Klein's 24-hour unpaid overtime system...

In the previous life, the Fusion Warrior Project was sealed for a time due to its low success rate, and Mu Continent began to shift the focus of its research to the Armed Doll Project. Before the Ninth Herrscher incident, Mu Continent had already completed a complete industrial system that could mass-produce armed dolls, but... because of the Ninth Herrscher's dying counterattack, Mu Continent sank, and many industrial systems including the armed dolls completely collapsed, which further led to the final battle of the End. Although it was known that the Moonlight Throne had special attack capabilities against the End, due to the collapse of the industrial system, it could only produce that number of Moonlight Thrones.

After the destruction of Mu Continent, the Fire Moths did think about rebuilding the industrial system including the armed puppets, but the collapse situation in the world at that time was not optimistic. In addition, there were interference from the resistance army and the dormant Tenth Herrscher, and the reconstruction of the industrial system was difficult. In addition, due to the screening function of the Tenth God Key after the Tenth Herrscher incident, the fusion warriors could be officially mass-produced, and the industrial system of armed puppets was completely abandoned.

The main reason is that in the face of increasingly difficult Honkai challenges, the armed puppets have long been unable to keep up with the version. If the industrial system of Mu Continent is still there, then the armed puppets can indeed play a role in various places, but unfortunately, what sank with Mu Continent was not only the industrial system of the armed puppets, but also all the armed puppet troops produced by Mu Continent at that time.

Since the industrial system cannot be rebuilt, why bother wasting time on this kind of business that wastes resources and is not cost-effective?

This actually reflects some of the shortcomings of this world. Cutting-edge technology is concentrated in Mu Continent, with the most advanced production methods and the most complete industrial system. All of this makes Mu Continent worthy of being called the center of the world. Then this center is gone, and its industrial system and production methods are still unique...

It would be better to destroy only Mu Continent than to destroy all other continents.

This is why many people in the Fire Moth at that time, mainly scientific researchers including Roffko, all unanimously believed that humans had been defeated and would be waiting to die no matter how much time they had in the future. Although judging from the results, they were indeed right. Among these people, of course, was Mei. From that time on, Mei had already been thinking about humanity’s retreat and the struggle of the next civilization.

Influenced by Roffko and his men, the soldiers also felt somewhat disheartened. Although they might not have thought as much as the researchers, the reality before them at the time was that Mu Continent, which had the strongest armed forces on earth, was sunk by the self-detonation of the Ninth Herrscher.

The industrial system collapsed, and humans were faced with the major survival problem of shortage of food and other supplies. The instigation of the Tenth Herrscher left no room for negotiation between the rebels and the Fire Moths.

Originally, Laguel, the Tenth Herrscher who was dormant in the upper echelons of the Fire Moth, thought that even if he failed, as long as Zhu Yufeng, who went to suppress the resistance, accepted the surrender of the resistance, it would lay a huge hidden danger for the future public security of human society. The Tenth Herrscher incident had already caused the trust between people to fall apart, and there were even more conflicts between the resistance and the ordinary civilians who believed in the Fire Moth. Time would not allow the Fire Moth to gradually stabilize people's hearts.

And the most important reason is that the severe shortage of materials and the depressing and bleak life will inevitably lead to social unrest.

But what Laguer never expected was that Zhu Yufeng would actually dare to kill all the rebels. After all, no matter how indifferent Zhu Yufeng acted at the time, he was brought up by Alicia after all. In addition, the number of rebels was not small, and many of them were non-combatants who were deceived and exploited by the Tenth Lawrence due to the information gap.

If anyone else were to do this, they wouldn't do it so drastically.

After all, she could never have imagined that someone was not from this world at all, and did not care about the fate of other people in this world. She could not have imagined that none of the other twelve fallen angels thought that this matter was inappropriate and raised objections. Even Zhu Yufeng hesitated at first, but was convinced by Lilith before making up his mind...

But she really had no other choice, because May had to die. It was already very difficult to find ways to transfer Kevin away in a short period of time, and the Fallen Angels Squad together were not inferior to Kevin. In order to achieve the goal of killing May, the Fallen Angels Squad must also be transferred. The reason for transferring them could only be to let them suppress the rebels. Raguel really had no choice.

She had originally planned to disclose the truth about the Fallen Angel Squad suppressing the resistance army regardless of whether the assassination plan to assassinate Mei succeeded or not. However, Mei saw through her plan, and the backup plan was directly dealt with by Velvet, so that no news leaked out in the end.

Even Alicia only knew something but didn't know the details. If Zhu Yufeng hadn't explained it himself after his rebirth, Alicia wouldn't have known.

Kevin knew the truth but chose to remain silent. Su deduced what happened through Thousand Worlds One's observations and found out after confronting Mei. Because the incident had already happened and Su combined the results of many observations to understand that it was the best option that could be made under the circumstances, he also chose to remain silent.

Regarding this matter, apart from Kevin, Su and the person involved, Zhu Yufeng, the only people who knew about it openly were Wei Wei and Mobius. Each of the Zhuhuo Yingjie had their own secrets, and there were different degrees of estrangement between them. This was one of the reasons why Mobius scoffed at this when the Yingjie system was first established.

As for the issue of the resistance army's reuse of certain resources, on the one hand, the industrial system has collapsed. Without the industrial chain, there is no time and resources to build a production system. Artificial production cannot be concealed at all. On the other hand, this is a kind of mental torture for those who know about it, especially when the insider is a high-level leader who leads mankind to fight against the collapse.

In this life, because Lionel has a considerable say in the military and he strongly promotes the Fusion Warrior Program, the success rate of the Fusion Warrior Program is not as low as in the previous life. Therefore, Mu Continent is still willing to tilt resources towards the Fusion Warrior Program, and Einstein's armed puppet program is slightly delayed.

However, no matter how hard Lionel pushed for the Fusion Warrior Plan, the success rate of this plan would still be low before the appearance of the Tenth Herrscher. In addition, there was also some impact from the Eighth Herrscher incident, so Mu Continent finally turned its attention to the Armed Doll Plan that Einstein had already researched.

Right now, court researchers in Mu Continent are conducting a detailed evaluation of the performance of the armed puppets, and will then discuss the feasibility of large-scale production and the benefits that can be gained.

The power of the Eighth Herrscher is a memetic weapon. In order to retrieve the contaminated information, the Fire Moth and Mu Continent had to resort to manual retrieval, and they had to risk being attacked by the Eighth Herrscher. If armed puppets were produced, when faced with similar situations again, the armed puppets would be much more useful than manual retrieval.

"After all, in the Seventh Herrscher incident, Kevin and Feng, as the first two fusion warriors, both performed brilliantly." The researcher in charge of the evaluation thought that Einstein was dissatisfied with the Fusion Warrior Project for squeezing out her plan, so she tried to explain, "I don't know what medicine our Lord Lionel who is stationed at the Fire Moth Chaser has taken to insist on promoting the Fusion Warrior Project."

"There is nothing wrong with Sir Lionel and the Fusion Warrior Plan. In fact, in the future, they will definitely play a greater role than the armed puppets." Einstein glanced at him and said lightly.

She agreed with Lionel's idea. In the face of a crisis that threatens the survival of mankind, her rationality as a scientist told her not to act emotionally because a plan excluded her own experimental results. She knew very well that the upper limit of the armed puppets was there, and the future that the fusion warriors could reach was still unknown, but the upper limit was definitely higher than that of the armed puppets.

After all, the Herrschers that appear now are getting stronger and stronger, and the frequency and level of Honkai are getting higher and higher. If this continues, sooner or later, even Mu Continent will no longer be able to hide the existence of Honkai from all mankind.

The advantage of the armed puppets lies in daily affairs and the handling of increasingly frequent small-scale collapses. Faced with the combat power of the Herrscher level, the fusion warriors still have to take action.

"By the way, the earliest fusion warrior should be Xila." Einstein added.

The researcher pushed his glasses awkwardly and said nothing more. In addition to the armed puppet project that is currently being evaluated, Mu Continent's research direction also includes the Key of God project. The Key of God that has been manufactured and is being manufactured are the seventh Key of God, Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, held by Kevin, the sixth Key of God, White Flower of Black Abyss, held by Zhu Yufeng, the third Key of God, Seven Thunders of Purification, held by Ying, the fifth Key of God, Withering of All Things, which is still in the research and development stage, the second Key of God, Thousand Worlds, which is close to completion, and the fourth Key of God, Thousand Winds Cleansing Dust, which was supposed to be a weapon but was made into a weather satellite by Wei Erwei.

Thousand Winds Purifying Dust can transform the ecological environment and allow areas polluted by Honkai to recover to a certain extent. The longer the recovery time, the better the effect. So although the top leaders are disappointed and dissatisfied with not using the Herrscher Core of the Fourth Herrscher to make lethal weapons, Thousand Winds Purifying Dust does play a role in the future reconstruction of human civilization, so they can only accept it with a pinch of their noses.

Therefore, Qianfeng Dichen is now working over Australia, trying to gradually restore the environment of Australia that was destroyed by the Seventh Ruler.

And after that, Velvet's exclusive production rights for the Key of God were revoked.

Among all the Herrscher Cores, only the First Herrscher's Core still has no detailed production direction, because the construction ability of the First Herrscher of Reason is still somewhat abstract compared to the destruction that other Herrschers can intuitively imagine, and there are many researches that require the use of the Herrscher Core, and the research value of the Herrscher Core made into the Key of God is not that great, so the First Herrscher Core is retained, and the First Key of God is not considered for production for the time being.

"Xila... the killer who was already notorious before becoming a fusion warrior. Mobius was so bold that she actually let a killer who almost killed her work under her, and let Xila gain such powerful power." The researcher said speechlessly, "Well, let me think about it. The earliest fusion warrior is Xila. The strongest fusion warriors at present... Kevin with Skyfire and Feng with Black Abyss White Flower... The ability of Feng is marked as top secret in the file, so Feng should be stronger... And the youngest fusion warrior, I remember, is Seele who played a key role in the Eighth Herrscher incident..."

Einstein glanced at the latest news he received, and then said: "The youngest fusion warrior now is not Seele, but Astaroth, the sister adopted by Feng."

"Eh?! Feng's sister? If I remember correctly, she is only twelve or thirteen years old?" The researcher was a little surprised, "At such a young age...how could Feng agree..."

"That's the only way for her to survive." Einstein continued to look at the information and said, "She was the main victim in the Eighth Herrscher incident and was most severely eroded by the Honkai. Becoming a Fusion Warrior is the only way to solve this problem once and for all."

"This is quite a gamble... So what are her abilities?"

"It is unknown for now, as the operation was just completed not long ago. However, the Honkai beast she fused with is the emperor-level Honkai beast Midoro, so it should be a psychic fusion warrior." Einstein said.

Chapter 240 I can't think of a title

"I have almost understood the details. Once all the formalities are approved, the operation can begin immediately... provided that I am not 'liquidated' by Feng before then." Admiral looked at Kosmo and said, "I have no problem with that, but you need to communicate with Dr. Mobius yourself. The whereabouts of the eighth Herrscher's core is also the issue that she has paid the most attention to recently."

"Well...thank you." Kosmo said with a complicated expression.

Not long ago, after a long operation lasting more than twenty hours, Astaroth's fusion warrior surgery was successfully completed. Zhu Yufeng also abided by the agreement and waited outside the operating room from beginning to end until Astaroth came out of the surgery successfully. He said hello to Astaroth and did not even sleep. After that, he was dragged to the dormitory by Lilith and Alicia and forced to sleep.

A certain Gonghuo Wang who passed by and accompanied the sister for a while said that Leonard was really envious. He didn't even have the chance to wait outside the operating room for his sister to finish the operation. He only found out about this after the operation was over.

Although Kosmo knew that Admire had not slept during this period, seeing that Admire had no intention of resting after the operation, he told Admire about Desdobia.

Admiral agreed readily. Logically speaking, he should be responsible for this matter, although the truth of the Stigmata Project and the Eighth Herrscher incident, which he led, was eventually sealed by the World Serpent and only a few people knew about it. The World Serpent also secretly covered up the birth of the Eighth Herrscher Remiel, and some information was tampered with by Mostima and Velvet. Therefore, Admiral was not actually responsible for the Eighth Herrscher incident.

But for those in the know and Admiral himself, the price to be paid is necessary.

For example, there is no telling when the "sanction" against Feng will come... There must be one. The Stigmata Project was originally caused by my questioning of some past events, and in the end, Feng's sister Astaroth was involved. No matter how I think about it, there is no way I will be fine.

Moreover, Admiller himself knows that necessary punishment is quite necessary for someone like him, because if some of his things are not investigated, he will not truly reflect on himself, but will think that he has not touched the bottom line. Look, he hasn't been beaten to death or disabled yet, right?

An occasional head-on blow can help keep people sane amid the madness.

Destobia's matter was just a piece of cake for Admiral, just a matter of surgery. It was definitely not as important in his mind as Astaroth. As the favorite of the fallen angels, even if she had no previous memories, Astaroth herself was still of great importance to Admiral.

This is one of the reasons why Admiller felt that it would not be an exaggeration even if Feng punched him through a building.

Likewise, Nahaima had already contacted people to prepare a big banquet to celebrate the success of Astaroth's surgery, although Zhu Yufeng vetoed it before going to bed. Astaroth hated noisy environments the most, and the banquets held by Nahaima were...

However, although Desdobia's matter is not very important in Admiral's heart, Admiral will still do it seriously. Making choices in one's heart is one thing, and doing what one promised well is another.

(Since Admiral has already said it, there shouldn’t be any problem… As for Mobius, she may have focused on searching for the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher because of the Eighth Herrscher incident… After all, there has been no clue about the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher since the Eighth Herrscher incident. If the Eighth Herrscher wants to find the next carrier like Uriel, the situation will become even more dangerous…)

Kosmo thought to himself, and then he noticed that the atmosphere in the laboratory had cooled down. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to change the subject: "Regarding the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher, are there still no clues?"

"No." Admiller was operating the computer, sorting out various data that Kosmo couldn't understand. "I only specialize in the field of biology. I don't have a wide range of knowledge like Dr. Mobius and Dr. Mei. Some problems in imaginary space like the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher are not within my professional scope."

Compared to the whereabouts of the Eighth Herrscher's core, he only needs to do the data monitoring part of the search work. Mei and Mobius are better at theoretical reasoning than him, so what he cares more about now is Seele.

Seele, as a fusion warrior and former Sixth Herrscher, participated in the fight for control of the Eighth Herrscher's dream world during the Eighth Herrscher incident. According to the final test results, first of all, the artificial stigmata on the awakened ones under his command have been confirmed to have disappeared, but the space constructed by the stigmata has not completely collapsed.

The direct result and conclusion is that the stigmata have been transferred to Seele's body.

In other words, Seele is probably the first and probably the only Valkyrie with stigmata in the pre-civilization that meets the definition of later generations, right? If Admiller does not continue his stigmata experiment.

"Stigmata and fusion warriors should be two opposing concepts. Is it because of the special nature of the Herrscher's body that they are able to coexist in a single individual?" Admiller pondered in his heart. He had no way to verify this through experiments. After all, the existing fusion warriors were a rare species, and they were not the same as ordinary people. If one of them was lost by mistake, it would be difficult to fool even the World Serpent, and it would be a huge loss for mankind. Admiller would not engage in such a high-risk game with unknown benefits.

It is true that he is crazy and refuses to listen to advice in his pursuit of truth, but he will not gamble with the fate of mankind. After all, the ultimate goal of his actions is to find a way out for mankind in the impending doomsday.

After the operation, he told Mebius about it. He came here in the hope of getting some ideas from Seele to assist in the experiment.

Admiral's conclusion gave Mebius another idea, that is, is it possible that the core of the Eighth Herrscher exists in the stigmata space of the stigmata on Seele's body?

So now Mebius is conducting another round of testing on this.

As for the whereabouts of the Herrscher's core of the Eighth Herrscher, Admiral was actually quite concerned about the special fluctuation he observed after the Eighth Herrscher committed suicide. Unlike other people's observations, he observed directly in the Stigmata space. That fluctuation... did fit the Herrscher X hypothesis proposed by Mu Continent, or the Herrscher X hypothesis was based on the existence of a dormant unknown Herrscher, which explained the reason for the fluctuation.

But what's strange is that the fluctuating data... seems to have the characteristics consistent with the fluctuation of the Herrscher only for a short period of time, and in other time periods it behaves like a human who has strayed into the Stigmata space... Rather than saying it's similar, it's better to say that it's a bit similar to a fusion warrior and different from a normal human.

"Both a Herrscher and a Fusion Warrior? Or is he a Fusion Warrior under normal circumstances, and a Herrscher under special circumstances?" Admiral touched his chin, lost in his own thoughts. "Thinking this way can greatly narrow down the number of suspicious candidates, but in this case... doesn't it mean that there is a Herrscher lurking inside the Fire Moth, and among the Fusion Warriors? The existing Fusion Warriors are basically the top combat forces of the Fire Moth, or important scientific researchers... If this Herrscher is an enemy..."

Kosmo silently looked at Admiller who was thinking about his own things. Well, it seems that the awkward silence is really not his problem, at least not this time. Then he should not have to worry and can leave.

After Kosmo left, Yadmiller turned his gaze in the direction Kosmo left.

Currently, all Herrs are female, or have female bodies... so Kosmo does not meet the conditions of a Herrscher. In addition, that fluctuation was other than Kosmo's own fluctuation, so Kosmo can be directly ruled out. At that time, there must have been other fusion warriors who entered the Stigmata space when he was busy stabilizing the Stigmata space to create opportunities for Kosmo.

The special device for entering the stigmata space was jointly made by Rolfko and Vivi. Both of them are suspects, but Rolfko is a companion. On the premise that they are all fallen angels, Rolfko can be ruled out. In this case, Vivi is highly suspected. Moreover, the split personality can indeed hide her identity as a Herrscher very well...

However, Wei Erwei and Feng seem to have a very good relationship, and Feng also trusts Wei Erwei. If he can't provide evidence for his suspicions... he will probably be beaten to death by Feng...

At the same time, if we think rationally, Luo Fukou's suspicion cannot be completely cleared. We have to find a way to go to Luo Fukou and see if we can get something out of him...

After all, if the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher cannot be found, Herrscher X's power to devour other Herrschers is enough to become the greatest threat to mankind since the fight against the Honkai. If Herrscher X is inside the Fire Moth, it can also explain why He did not rush to devour the power after the previous Herrscher died, because He is inside the Fire Moth and at least in a high-level position, and He can devour the power at any time. Compared with the previous seven Herrschers, the power of the Eighth Herrscher may be very important to Him, so He took the initiative to devour the power of the Eighth Herrscher...

the other side.

Standing outside someone's dormitory door, Lilith put her hand on her chin as if in deep thought, then looked at Alicia and said, "So you really won't consider my proposal again?"

Alicia looked conflicted: "Although your proposal is really tempting, but..."

"You shouldn't be like this in my impression." Lilith shrugged. "You seem to worry about too many things. This reminds me that if you had taken the initiative in your previous life, even if you asked Feng whether Feng and I were in a relationship, my plan would not have succeeded in the end."

"I..." Alicia choked, not knowing how to answer.

In her previous life, after the Ninth Herrscher incident, Lilith confessed her love, and coupled with the extremely misleading couple earrings, she subconsciously accepted the message that "they were already a couple"... At that time, she had already vaguely realized her feelings for Feng, but the agreement between her and Feng that seemed to be almost a rejection became an obstacle. After all, she did not agree at that time, and only said that she would have an answer when he became the hero he wanted to be.

Later she thought about it carefully and realized that maybe she already had some feelings for Feng at that time, otherwise she would not have given that answer under normal circumstances.

At the same time, at that time, her mentality was actually quite complicated. She had been wavering about her identity. She was afraid that she was really a Herrscher, afraid that this identity would not be accepted by others, especially Feng, and worried that she might have to leave one day. However, she felt uncomfortable when Feng was with Lilith, so... she simply chose to be an ostrich.

I won't ask. Even if they really are, it's not my place.

If I don't care, I won't see the intimate actions between them, and I won't know that they have the characteristics of a couple.

This mentality makes the current Alicia wish she could go back and let her current self do the operation.

As for now, the reason she hesitated was that she felt it had not yet come to this point...

After all, this was her first time in love, and it wasn’t even a normal relationship…

"It's just sleeping together in bed. We won't do anything else. What's the big deal?" Lilith shrugged. "Believe me, although Feng is a light sleeper, he will definitely not wake up in the middle of the night this time."

If he woke up, it would be disrespectful to the power of the Eighth Herrscher, and if Feng was not on guard against her in this regard, it would be very difficult for her to succeed. For example, sleeping tea and the like no longer work on Feng, and after he suffered a loss last time, he never cheated him again.

"And didn't we both sleep on him last night, one with our shoulder leaning on the other?" Lilith added.

Alicia: "..."

How could this be the same? Last night she could still find an excuse that she did it unconsciously while asleep, but this time... because of the dream she had the night before, of course she wanted to do it too. If she had gone alone, she might have done it, but with Lilith involved...

"Anyway, maybe you will have to get used to such a life in the future. You can't just refer to the solution of the Eighth Herrscher in the dream, right?" Lilith said.

It’s not impossible... Alicia was about to say this when she suddenly looked behind Lilith. Hen smiled and nodded at her. Lilith noticed Alicia’s gaze and turned around to look at Hen.

"Did Feng really not sleep the whole night last night?" Hen asked.

"Yes, because we don't know exactly when the operation can be completed, and he is a bit stubborn in this regard. He really waits when he says to wait." Alicia spread her hands and said.

"Is that so... Well, I want to ask you a favor."

Lilith raised her eyes. Is there anything else about her?

"It's just some things about little Grayshu..."

Chapter 241: Grace is in a bad mood

Grace was painting, or rather, she was just looking at her unfinished painting without moving.
