Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

At that time, Mobius claimed that he had killed "Shesha", but later, after the other party became a fusion warrior, he showed many characteristics similar to Shesha, which also caused rumors to spread within the Fire Moth that "Mobius used the genes of 'Shesha'".

As an eyewitness to the Canghai City incident, Hua had once seen the giant snake-like Honkai beast from afar. In fact, he felt a little grateful in his heart that Mebius was able to kill it and use it as a synthetic gene for the fusion warrior.

After all, if there was no Mobius, the most Hua and his men could do was to kill Shesha completely. But like now, to use Shesha's power for their own benefit and to serve humanity, only Dr. Mobius could do it.

Oh, Dr. Ai Yue should be able to do it too, but he didn't join the Fire Moth at that time after all.

Speaking of which, where is Dr. Ai Yue from?

Hua's thoughts couldn't help but wander, and he turned slightly to glance at Ai Yue.

But he found that the other person was also looking at him.

Hua didn't care at first, but she soon discovered that Ai Yue didn't just glance at her, but was staring at her continuously. This made her a little at a loss, and she thought there was something wrong with her.

"Dr. Ai Yue, what's wrong with me?"

Hua, who had examined himself for a long time but found no problem, hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to ask, "You seem to be looking at me?"

"Is it really okay? I remember you have a deep connection with Canghai City."

Ai Yue then whispered, "You don't have to force yourself."

"It's okay, Dr. Ai Yue."

Hua finally realized that the other party had been worried about him the entire time, and couldn't help but smile. "In fact, seeing the city I once knew begin to recover is actually a good thing for me."

As she spoke, she looked out the window again.

Canghai City is not her hometown, but it is where she studies. There she met her good friend, the disaster that changed her life, and the person who saved her life.

Now there is a chance to see the city return to its former glory - even if it may not be able to fully recover its former prosperity, it is a comfort for Hua.

Everything will be fine. The collapsed city will be rebuilt, the sacrificed heroes will be succeeded, and I will definitely complete my mission.

While thinking this, Hua tried his best to look into the distance, and finally saw something vaguely at the end of his vision.

"That's Canghai City!"

After a long period of analysis, Hua finally found a sense of familiarity in the scene before him, and his tone couldn't help but become slightly excited, "We are almost there!"

Since Canghai City was far from being built, there were no fixed transportation routes between it and other cities, let alone any tourist routes. So Ai Yue and others finally took a plane from the Fire Moth headquarters to the largest branch in Shenzhou, and then transferred to a cargo plane from the branch to reach Canghai City.

What appeared before their eyes was the prototype of a city with tall and thick walls, and countless workers and construction equipment working together.

The plane quickly landed outside the fortress city, and Ai Yue and others walked out of it, feeling the shock brought by the city up close.

"This is the new...fortress city?"

Standing at the base of the city wall, Padufilis couldn't help but look up. However, even though she tried her best, she still couldn't see the end of the wall. "It's probably difficult to climb in with such a high wall, right?"

Although Padofilis no longer works as a "righteous thief", out of habit, she still likes to observe everything in the world from the perspective of petty theft.

"It's already magnificent from a distance, and up close it's breathtaking."

Aponia said, "The fortress city is truly a behemoth."

"After all, this is a line of defense against Honkai beast attacks, so of course we have to do our best."

Ai Yue said on the side, "Also, the scale of Canghai City today only looks exaggerated, but in terms of scale, it is actually far smaller than the Canghai City of the past."

Padfilis and Aponia couldn't help but look at each other curiously, as if questioning the truth of this statement.

After all, the two of them had lived in places like Twilight Street since they were young, and had never had the opportunity to see a real big city.

"Yes, the original Canghai City was probably four times larger than it is now."

Hua said on the side, "However, it is unrealistic to want to restore the city's original appearance in one go. What's more, it seems that the current Canghai City has a different positioning from before?"

Canghai City used to be the economic center of Shenzhou, and its development can be said to have been supported by the entire country. However, Shenzhou has now shifted its economic center to other places, so there is naturally no need to build a second city with the same positioning.

"In terms of scale, this place is actually not as good as other fortress cities."

Mebius said, "As I recall, New Canghai City was built primarily as a 'military stronghold,' right?"

"Well, after all, this place was once the landing place of the Honkai beasts, so it naturally has strategic value."

Ai Yue nodded. "Building a fortress here can greatly reduce the damage that the Honkai beasts attacking from the sea can cause to other cities."

Canghai City already has very superior geographical resources. The most important thing is that it is located on a plain, which is a hub connecting the ocean and the inland.

Although Canghai City was destroyed by the ravages of the sea of collapsed beasts, it was also because of this that the collapsed beasts did not invade inland and cause greater disasters. Although no disasters of the same scale have occurred along the coast of Shenzhou since then, it is obviously necessary to build a fortress city in this place in order to prevent disasters before they occur.

"After all this talk, how are we going to get in?"

Padovice was obviously not interested in these more professional things. She just wanted to go in and take a look. "How about I take you inside?"

There was an entrance not far from them, but it looked like it had no intention of opening.

"Of course, there are formalities required to enter a place like this,"

Ai Yue comforted Padufils and said, "I have given instructions in advance. Someone should be coming to pick us up soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door next to him slowly opened, and a figure that everyone was familiar with walked out.

"Long wait, everyone."

Wei Erwei smiled and bowed, "Welcome to my latest masterpiece - New Canghai City!"

Chapter 7 No matter who you are, come and beat me.

Seeing Wei Erwei's slightly exaggerated appearance, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then accepted this scene.

"Are you in charge here too?"

Mebius was the first to react, looking at her suspiciously. "I remember that Shenzhou was fully responsible for the construction of all new fortress cities themselves. Why would they ask you for help?"

"That is wrong, Mebius."

Wei Erwei raised her chin proudly. "The person standing before you is the chief engineer of the Earth United Government's 'Global Fortress City Project'. What's so strange about him being here? New Canghai City is a specialized fortress city. You don't think you can just scale the blueprints and use it directly, do you?"

"I see. So this is the project you're personally responsible for, right?"

Mebius nodded, then looked at Ai Yue who was standing beside him, "Ai Yue, check this girl out quickly, I know without a doubt that she must have some illicit goods!"

"What words, what words is this!"

Wei Erwei immediately cried out in grievance, "I've devoted myself to this project, and you actually doubt me like this! Ai Yue, you have to make the decision for me!"

"Alright, alright, if you have anything to say, let's go in and talk."

Ai Yue quickly pulled the two people apart and said, "Wei Erwei, lead the way."

"okay!"

Velvet readily agreed, glanced at Mebius again, then turned around and walked into the fortress with her head held high.

As the two most famous bottomless pits of funding in the Fire Moth, Velvet and Mebius have always been in a state of disharmony. They may be able to get along peacefully when something happens, but once the crisis is resolved, the two of them will easily become hostile to each other.

However, from the current perspective, this situation has eased a lot and basically remains at the level of mutual joking between friends.

After entering the gate, Wei Erwei invited everyone to take her transportation - after all, although the scale of Xin Canghai City is indeed relatively small among the fortress cities, it is definitely not an easy task to measure it on foot.

Passing through the thick city walls, everyone finally got a glimpse of the fortress's true form. Within the thick protective walls, a bustling scene unfolded. Workers donned protective gear and toiled diligently. Massive construction machinery churned non-stop. Countless vehicles loaded with various construction tools shuttled back and forth across the construction site. In the distance, a massive figure could be seen wielding countless robotic arms...

"Wait, what is that thing?"

Looking at the huge figure looming in the smoke and dust in the distance, even Ai Yue couldn't help but show a shocked expression, "You created the Mechanical Evil God?"

To be honest, it is indeed a somewhat weird experience to see a huge mysterious figure with countless tentacles extending from all over its body in the mist and clouds.

Fortunately, Ai Yue could still tell that this thing was made of steel, which somewhat alleviated the weird feeling.

"What Mechanical Evil God? That's my Super Engineering God of War 2.0!"

Hearing Ai Yue's words, Wei Erwei couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "That's a miracle of engineering. A super-engineering machine that can complete the work of twenty construction teams in a month with its own strength!"

After listening to this, Mebius turned to look at Ai Yue: "I said she must have mixed in some illicit stuff, right?"

Obviously she knew Weiwei's character very well.

"How can this be called smuggling?"

Wei Erwei continued to argue, "In engineering matters, efficiency is paramount. My Super Engineering God of War is so efficient, how can it be considered private goods?"

Ai Yue just stared at her silently: "Tell me honestly, how much does this thing cost?"

Based on Ai Yue's understanding of Wei Erwei, a large part of the funds at her disposal was definitely invested in this kind of thing.

Wei Erwei opened her mouth, then turned her head away silently: "Anyway, it's very cost-effective."

"I don't believe you,"

As the crowd approached, Ai Yue gradually saw some details of the so-called Super Engineering God of War. "It's obvious from one look that it's made up of several pieces of engineering machinery. How much would the transformation and fusion function alone cost? If I used the same amount of money to hire a construction team, 200 of them would be enough, right?"

"You can't say that,"

Weiwei was still trying to resist, "This is so cool, I think it's great, right?"

Ai Yue wanted to say something, but suddenly touched his chin and said, "That's true."

Mebius, who was standing by, immediately looked at him with a subtle look: "Your betrayal is too quick, isn't it?"

"Well, in short, this isn't how you're supposed to use the funds!"

Ai Yue cleared his throat and said, "The drawings will be confiscated. We'll deal with the rest after you complete the project."

Wei Erwei was immediately overjoyed. She was familiar with Ai Yue's temper and knew that since he said such words, the matter would basically be over.

It turned out to be the right decision to expose this matter while the other party was traveling. It is said that people from China become particularly tolerant when they are traveling, and it turned out to be true.

Thank you, Sue!

"Wait, what's that over there?"

Just after this incident came to an end, Padofelice suddenly pointed at a figure not far away and said, "I think I saw a Honkai beast just now?"

Everyone turned their attention to it - seeing a Honkai beast here was not a good thing.

"Oh, it should be a virtual Honkai beast, it's okay."

Only Weierwei waved her hand, looking unconcerned. "That's used to assist in construction. It's a form of application of virtual Honkai beast technology."

Ai Yue stared at the direction that Padofelice pointed for a while, and sure enough, he saw a military green Pavanti walking out step by step carrying a pile of construction equipment.

"How should I put it?"

Mebius, standing by, commented sharply, "It seems quite inefficient."

"After all, it wasn't just to assist with construction,"

Wei Erwei explained, "It's said that after the military implemented virtual Honkai beast technology, there weren't many opportunities for actual combat, so all they did was internal training. Then they decided that training wasn't enough, so they sent these people over here to fight."

“Is there still such an operation?”

Hearing this, Hua couldn't hold it in any longer. "But... well, how should I put it, it does seem quite military-style."

"There's nothing wrong with being more pragmatic, and according to the data, this method can indeed enhance the driver's control over the virtual Honkai beast."

Wei Erwei nodded approvingly. "It's said that it's already being promoted in other countries. It just so happens that some confidential projects really aren't suitable for ordinary engineering teams."

Mebius, who was standing by, quietly poked Ai Yue's arm with a teasing expression: "How does it feel to see your hard work being used in a place like this?"

"what?"

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, "Isn't this good?"

Technology is meant to serve humans. If virtual Honkai beasts can find new uses outside of combat, I believe they will not be viewed as mere weapons of war.

Thinking of this, Ai Yue couldn't help but touch his chin.

Perhaps, he can bring different possibilities to the virtual Honkai beast?

Chapter 8 This is my talent!

Ai Yue's initial conception of the virtual Honkai beast was simply a low-cost weapon of war. As long as a few key problems could be solved, it would even be possible to eliminate the need for humans to be present on the battlefield.

But the scene before him told him that the virtual Honkai beast could have more possibilities.

So much so that he began to wonder, is it possible to apply virtual Honkai beasts to more places?
