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

Therefore, Ai Yue simply determined which scientific research projects they should be used for, and then put them away again.

After Ai Yue's anxious and long wait, the plane finally landed again at the Fire Moth base. As soon as it landed, Ai Yue couldn't wait to rush to his laboratory.

The reason why he did not use the Third Herrscher's Honkai energy sample directly on the plane was, on the one hand, to prevent others from discovering anything unusual, and on the other hand, he hoped to be able to carefully choose the scientific research projects he needed to start in a safe and stable environment.

However, when he returned to the laboratory, Ai Yue found that someone was already waiting for him there.

"Ah, you're back so soon, Aiyue." Alicia sat obediently on a chair in the laboratory. Seeing the master come back, she greeted him with a smile, "As expected, even the difficult problems posed by Wei Erwei are not difficult for you at all."

"Ailishiya?" Ai Yue put the bag aside. "Why are you here?"

"Wei Erwei has already handed over the artificial intelligence project to you. I'm here to deliver the information." Alicia smiled helplessly. "Originally, this shouldn't be my responsibility, but now I'm the only one who knows you well and has some free time."

"I see." Ai Yue nodded and walked to the refrigerator. "What would you like to drink? Juice or soda?"

"Do you have peach juice?" Alicia asked curiously, and then saw Ai Yue took out the corresponding drink as if he had prepared it long ago. "Thank you."

"Speaking of which, regarding Kevin's birthday party," Ai Yue also took a bottle of soda, but didn't open it. He just held it in his hand. "Didn't you say before that you would arrange for me to meet the other attendees? When do you plan to choose the time?"

"Oh? Ai Yue, you seem to care about this matter." Alicia narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled curiously. "Could it be that you like Kevin very much?"

"That's not the case." Ai Yue shook his head, and the man's final outcome emerged in his mind again. "Well, I've heard a lot about him, and I admire him quite a bit."

"Then you must have a lot in common with Ah Mo." Alicia smiled and thought for a moment, "Well, let me think about it. When everyone is free... how about dinner the day after tomorrow?"

"No problem." Ai Yue nodded. "In the cafeteria?"

"Of course not. How can we discuss something as surprising as this in the cafeteria? It'll easily leak out!" Alicia gave a mysterious smile. "Just follow my instructions when the time comes."

As she spoke, she had finished the peach juice and threw it into the trash can. Then the girl stood up and said goodbye to Ai Yue.

Ai Yue stood quietly by the side and only locked the door after Alicia left.

Then he rushed to the trash can and took out the bottle that Alicia used to drink juice. Like a pervert, he repeatedly rubbed the inside and outside of the bottle, unwilling to miss any details.

However, a moment later, Ai Yue threw the bottle back into the trash can with a look of disappointment on his face: "Damn it, why is there no saliva?"

Chapter 32: Mobius, You've Done All the Bad Things

In Ai Yue's eyes, Alicia is special.

Because the other party's identity is extremely special, the materials on Alicia's body are very likely to be "rare" level good things, just like the Herrscher's Honkai energy samples.

But also because of the other party's identity, Ai Yue could not directly ask her for hair, nails and other things to verify his guess.

After all, as someone who also has secrets, Ai Yue can understand the other party's idea of not wanting to expose his identity. Since he cannot share the secrets of the system with others, he naturally cannot force others to do things that may reveal their identity.

So he planned to ask Mobius. After all, it was she who performed the fusion warrior surgery on Alicia. And given Mobius's personality, Ai Yue suspected that she must have Alicia's genome sample.

Of course, we must deal with the most critical thing first.

Ai Yue refocused his attention on the "Collapse Thunder Crystal". He took this precious material out of the protective box and placed it directly into the system.

The third law is the law of thunder.

His power is electromagnetic manipulation—an extremely powerful ability.

What kind of surprise will it bring to him?

The next second, the technology tree, like a galaxy, gradually enlarged in his eyes, until a small area of it appeared clearly in front of Ai Yue.

It is a star cluster consisting of dozens of stars gathered together, including the largest and most conspicuous star, a dozen planets orbiting around it, and finally dozens of satellites each orbiting a planet.

Although the entire star cluster is basically in a dim and inactive state, there is a satellite flashing at the edge of the cluster. It is the "space-time rupture technology" that Ai Yue completed last time.

As the Collapse Thunder Crystal was completely devoured by the system, a planet not far from the Space-Time Fracture Technology, and all the satellites around it, began to flicker unsteadily.

"The materials have been used and the related projects have been activated."

"Please select the research project you want to start."

Ai Yue took a quick look around, and several project names flashed before his eyes one by one:

"Room-temperature superconductors", "wireless power transmission technology", "anti-EMP electromagnetic protection shield technology", "electromagnetic wave quantum communication technology"...

It can be said that every technology that appears here, once it comes out, is enough to advance human technology by a big step forward. After repeated thinking, Ai Yue finally had his own goal.

"Pseudo-lawmaker power: molecular decomposition technology".

Unlike other scientific research projects based on the study of electromagnetic force, this project does not use the power of the Herrscher to study the influence of electromagnetic force, but is an exploration of the power of the Third Herrscher itself.

By simulating the power of the Herrscher, the Houkai energy is used to affect the electrons in molecules, thereby destroying the chemical bonds between atoms and causing the molecules to disintegrate.

Because it simulates the effects of the Herrscher's power, this technology can, in extreme cases, even temporarily prevent molecules from reorganizing, thereby causing an object to collapse instantly.

This technology can not only be used in weapons development, but also in scientific research such as the development of new materials. It can be said to be a very practical technology.

At the same time, this is also the means of attack that Ai Yue currently needs.

Therefore, Ai Yue no longer hesitated and directly activated the research on molecular cracking technology. In the blink of an eye, the other stars returned to their dim state, and only the star representing "molecular cracking technology" shone with increasingly dazzling light, and finally opened a new interface in front of Ai Yue.

"Pseudo-herrsquo;s Power: Molecular Decomposition Technology: Total Progress: 12.5%"

"Analysis of basic principles: 50%"

"Infrastructure design: 0%"

"Basic material screening: 0%"

"Prototype framework construction: 0%"

Seeing the familiar interface appear before his eyes, Ai Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Okay, now we just need to slowly waste time.

The speed at which the system deduces scientific research projects has a fixed value. It is not that Ai Yue can directly convert the materials into the corresponding progress. However, Ai Yue’s own understanding of the project will add to the system’s conversion speed. The more he understands the project, the faster the conversion will be.

Therefore, for a castle in the air project like the Pseudo-Hermeneutic Power, which Ai Yue had no idea about, he could only rely on the system's own initial conversion speed to grind it out bit by bit.

Although this is a bit slow, it will take about 48 hours to complete the project.

"It's really too slow." Ai Yue sighed, "Forget it, let's do something else first."

After being infused with knowledge from several projects, Ai Yue is no longer the useless person who is completely unable to do scientific research without the system.

However, just as he was about to do it himself, there was a knock on the door.

Ai Yue walked over and opened the door, and found a group of members from the logistics department standing outside, with a van parked behind them.

"You are Dr. Ai Yue, right?" the leading member of the logistics department said politely, "We are from the logistics department. We are here under orders from above to replace your laboratory equipment."

Replace equipment?

Ai Yue asked a few questions with a confused look on his face before he realized what was going on.

Simply put, the project transfer application submitted by Wei Erwei has been approved, but because Ai Yue's current laboratory does not have the equipment to develop artificial intelligence, Dr. Mei submitted an application and asked the logistics department to transfer the professional equipment to Ai Yue's laboratory.

"Replacing the equipment will take about half a day." The member of the logistics department was clearly not new to this sort of thing, and he said to Ai Yue very expertly, "You can take this time to walk around and relax. We'll let you know when we're done."

Ai Yue thought about it and realized that there was nothing in his laboratory that could not be seen by others, and there was no point in staying here, so he nodded and walked out.

I don't know why Padu asked about "Hua", she didn't take it to heart.

In order not to attract attention, Ai Yue naturally would not directly ask Padochilisse to look for the soldier named Hua. After all, at this time, the other party should still be an ordinary soldier, and it would be difficult for him to explain why he wanted to find him.

So he just asked Padofelice to keep an eye on whether there were other people from Shenzhou in the Fire Moth under the pretext of looking for fellow countrymen.

After all, as far as he knew, the headquarters of the Fire Moth was too far away from Shenzhou, so most of the Shenzhou people were concentrated in the Asian branch, and very few Shenzhou people would actually come to the Fire Moth headquarters.

If Hua didn't have special reasons, he probably wouldn't be here.

"A fellow countryman?"

At lunchtime, Ai Yue and Padufilis were eating in the cafeteria. When Ai Yue mentioned this incident, Padufilis suddenly remembered something: "Hmm, hmm, hmm!"

Ai Yue sighed helplessly: "Swallow the food in your mouth first."

"Ahem, I almost forgot to mention this," Padufilis took a sip of soup to avoid choking. "I asked around, and there really is one. I heard it's a gray-haired, handsome guy at the Fifth Research Institute!"

The Fifth Research Institute?

Ai Yue had a strange look on his face - Hua was a soldier, and unless he was injured, he would not appear in the Fifth Institute, which led the medical projects.

But he did remember there was another gray-haired, good-looking Shenzhou man working in that place.

However, has the other party already arrived at the Fire Moth at this time?

Ai Yue suddenly fell into deep thought.

I have to find a time to "accidentally" meet him and get closer to him. This will make it easier for me to work on the research results of the Fifth Institute in the future.

"Brother Yue? Why aren't you eating?" Padofelice noticed Ai Yue's expression. "Why don't you study your project while eating? You'll age quickly!"

"You've learned all these things now." Ai Yue came back to his senses and smiled. "How is it? Can you get used to the life of a soldier?"

Padufils never complained to him about the training, but Ai Yue knew very well that such a life was a huge test for Padufils.

"It's okay." Speaking of this topic, Padufilis's tone suddenly became a little heavy, no longer as lively as before. "The instructor is very nice to us, and my teammates are also nice people, but..."

"What is it?" Ai Yue pressed on, "Pado, is there something you can't even tell me?"

"No," Padufilis hesitated for a moment and finally said, "It's just that we are about to finish our training and become real soldiers."

"Feeling uneasy?" Ai Yue nodded, understanding Padofelice's emotions. "I told you it's okay if you back out. Your brother Yue just took on a big project that's enough to support ten of you."

"It's not that I'm uneasy, it's just..." Padofelice shook her head with a strange expression. "How should I put it? I feel a little weird."

"Many of my teammates have had... quite tragic experiences. Honkai has truly caused so much suffering for so many." Padofelice struggled to organize her words, trying to articulate what was on her mind. "Compared to them, I feel like my life is incredibly happy. So happy that I'm a little... uh, ashamed?"

Ai Yue didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"Sometimes I wonder whether following you, Brother Yue, to the Fire Moth Chaser was a good thing or a bad thing." Padofelice unconsciously poked at the food on her plate. "If I hadn't come here, without knowing so much, I probably could still live a carefree life, basking in the sun, stealing things, and just living day by day."

"But when I think about how I'm enjoying my leisure time while so many people in the world can't even enjoy the sun, I feel a little sad." Padufilis raised her head and looked at Ai Yue. "Brother Yue, what do you think? If I could become incredibly powerful, like Sister Ying and the others, wouldn't that allow more people to live a happy life?"

Ai Yue looked at him, and suddenly reached out and ruffled Padufils' hair into a mess: "No."

"Huh?" Padofelice was stunned.

In her imagination, Ai Yue should say "yes" and then express her determination, so that the topic can be carried on smoothly. However, Ai Yue's answer was completely opposite, which made her feel confused.

"I don't know how your instructor taught you, or if you ran into Mobius and heard what she said, but the power of an individual is very limited in the face of the disaster currently facing human civilization." Ai Yue continued, "Saving the world is not your responsibility, but mine. Your responsibility is to protect yourself, and then, within that premise, help as much as you can. Do you understand?"

"Oh...oh." Padofelice nodded, not quite understanding, and then realized, "How did you know it was Maeby..."

She covered her mouth mid-sentence, obviously realizing that she had been exposed.

"How could you, a guy who eats and basks in the sun all day, start thinking about these things?" Ai Yue rolled his eyes at her. "You must have been bewitched by a demon."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about!" Padofelice tried hard to make her eyes look firm. "I am no longer the person I used to be! The person I am now..."

"No matter what, I'm still your brother." Ai Yue interrupted her, "Did you forget what you promised me?"

"No." Padufilis nodded honestly, "I understand. I will protect myself."

"That's right." Ai Yue nodded with satisfaction. "After the training period, remember to come to the lab to find me. I have something good for you."

After lunch, the two separated again. Ai Yue walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about what Padufils had just said in his mind.

He was actually a little surprised by what Padovich said.

Given the other party's character, even if he was persuaded by Mebius, he should not be able to change his original mentality of slacking off so easily. However, Ai Yue could feel that what he said today was indeed the result of his own thinking.

In other words, life in Fire Moth did change Padofelice, and it was because of herself that she joined Fire Moth early.

Ai Yue couldn't see the future and didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but he still stubbornly hoped that Padofelice could become a fusion warrior later.

If things have reached the point where even my own cat has to go to the front line, doesn't that mean that I, as the savior, am too incompetent?

And, about another thing...

Thinking back to what he heard from Padfilis about the Shenzhou people from the Fifth Institute, Ai Yue couldn't help but frown.

He was quite familiar with the man named "Su". He was an old friend of Kevin and also a doctor who was researching how to conquer the Honkai disease.

The most important thing is that according to the original plot, not long after the other party joined the Fire Moth, the Eighth Herrscher arrived.

Chapter 33: Exploding with Him

Two days later, at the First Research Institute.

Klein was processing piles of documents as usual. When he saw Ai Yue swaggering in, he greeted him weakly, "Dr. Ai Yue, why are you here?"

"Where's Mobius?" Ai Yue looked around and went to the room he had used before, but didn't see the green figure. "I have something to ask her."
