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

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she just wants to be lazy." Looking at Quinn, who was still very straightforward because he was "born" not long ago, Ai Yue shook his head and then focused his attention on the map she gave him. "Wow, there are so many minerals here. If we don't come here, won't it all be wasted?"

"So this is your goal?" Wei Erwei also came over. "Australia's mineral resources are indeed a very valuable target."

"But what are you going to do with those Honkai beasts?" Mobius asked. "You're not the only one coveting this land, but you should be well aware of the reason why they haven't taken action yet, right?"

In fact, this is exactly the case. Ever since Australia was reduced to a scorched earth by the Seventh Herrscher, countless countries have set their sights on this fertile land. However, the cost of rebuilding in a land where Honkai beasts are rampant and the concentration of Honkai is skyrocketing is far beyond the ability of a single country to bear.

Even if it is just mining operations, the labor and transportation costs are a huge number.

And now, Ai Yue actually wants to complete this project on his own. If it were someone else, Mebius would definitely not speak to him so politely.

But he is Ai Yue after all, so he can really do it.

"Those things are nothing to Ai Yue." Wei Erwei hooked her arm around Ai Yue's neck and pointed at the queen bee next to her. "After all, there is a 'bee colony' here."

Mebius stared at Velvet for a long time, and when he realized she had no intention of letting go, he sighed and turned his attention back to Ai Yue: "So, you're not going to introduce the 'bee swarm' to me?"

"Well, rather than creating the Bee Swarm for this place, it's more accurate to say I chose this place for the Bee Swarm." Ai Yue smiled. "Reclaiming Australia and reclaiming this land from the clutches of the Honkai is merely the first assignment I gave the Bee Swarm."

"As for its full name, it should be called 'Gestalt Cluster Will Drone Swarm'."

"Gestalt? Collective will?" Mebius' face changed slightly when he heard the two familiar words. "You combined them with drones?"

Although Möbius was not very familiar with the field of mechanical engineering, he was not unfamiliar with these two terms because they were originally part of the medical field and he naturally knew what they meant.

The Gestalt cluster will means that the entire drone swarm is essentially a whole, just like humans, controlled by the artificial intelligence "Queen Bee" as its brain.

This description may not sound like anything special, but if a large swarm of drones can be controlled like humans control their own bodies, then this swarm of drones will play a terrifying role.

Imagine if a group of tens of thousands of people unconditionally accepted the command of one mind, without quarrels, disagreements, or selfish desires, and everyone played their role wholeheartedly in their positions, how terrifying would this group be?

If put on the battlefield, it would be an invincible army. If put into construction, it would be the most efficient construction team. If it were dispersed to management departments at all levels of the country, what would the country look like?

Compared with humans, drones have lower needs. Humans can feel tired, hungry and sleepy, but drones do not. As long as there are no malfunctions and there is enough energy, they can even work 24 hours a day without interruption.

The most terrifying thing is that according to Ai Yue’s previous statement, this drone swarm is proliferating, and the scale of the entire drone swarm is gradually expanding. As the number increases, the strength of the drone swarm will continue to grow.

Mebius remembered that Ai Yue said that Prometheus was an artificial intelligence with the ability to learn and grow. If the Queen Bee was the same... then what would their future be like?

I'm afraid even Ai Yue, who created all this, would find it hard to imagine?

Chapter 36: What are you doing in front of the children?

"No wonder you don't need any more manpower. You only bring one guard."

After figuring it all out, Mebius looked at Ai Yue with a look of relief: "With such a useful drone swarm, even if you live here alone, I'm afraid it won't be a problem at all."

Ai Yue just smiled and didn't say much.

The fact is just as Mebius said, Ai Yue's original plan was to let the bee colony take charge of this experimental base.

From basic daily maintenance, to the exploration and excavation of Australia, to the clearance and expulsion of Honkai beasts, and even to the development of farmland, the establishment of factories and other matters, all are left to the bee colony.

To this end, he designed more than ten drones with different functions, enough to cope with various situations. Moreover, drones with different functions can be combined to become large drones with more comprehensive functions. What these drones will do and how to do it are all left to the Queen Bee to choose.

Moreover, Ai Yue did not actually tell Mebius the most critical thing in the bee colony - that is the "bee network" used to connect the queen bee and the drone swarm.

The core components of each drone are chips made from soul steel. Such chips not only improve the performance of the drone itself, but also provide additional computing power for the Queen Bee after the drone is connected to the bee network. Due to the excellent performance of soul steel, each drone can even be regarded as a backup for the Queen Bee.

In this way, even if Ai Yue's experimental base suffered a devastating blow, or even the world's network was destroyed, as long as one drone survived, the Queen Bee could make a comeback using the drone manufacturing factory "Beehive".

"But the whole base is mostly filled with drones. It would be lonely, right?" Wei Erwei patted Ai Yue's shoulder. "Don't worry, I will come to see you often!"

"You should first think about how to carry out your next mission." Ai Yue shook his head. "The situation on Mu Continent is much more complicated."

"I was just trying to say that," Wei Erwei's face immediately fell upon hearing Ai Yue's words, "How could you possibly think of going to Mu Continent to build an underground shelter? The situation there is so complicated and intricate, it's really hard to deal with!"

"So I told ****** to ask them to give you the green light." Ai Yue laughed. "The funding for this mission is unlimited. You will definitely not let me down, right?"

"Ahhh, I get it. Can't I do it?" Wei Liwei hesitated for a long time, and finally stomped her foot angrily, "Just wait, I will definitely build the most sturdy shelter for you to see!"

After saying that, she turned and left the control room, apparently planning to leave through the portal.

"What mission?" Mobius asked at this time, "You asked her to go to Mu Continent to build a shelter? Why did you suddenly think of such a thing?"

As the most technologically advanced region on the planet, Mu Continent can be said to be at the forefront of world technology. Almost all cutting-edge technologies originated here. Even Mobius once worked here and published many subversive results. Now the Fire Moth also has a science department in Mu Continent to research cutting-edge technology.

However, Mu Continent has always been outside the system of the Fire Moth. It always feels that it is capable of solving its own problems and rarely allows the Fire Moth to interfere in the collapse disaster problems within Mu Continent. Therefore, for a long time, except for some technological exchanges, the Fire Moth and Mu Continent have almost no contact.

"They're a bit overwhelmed over there and have recently started to give in. They hope we can help." Ai Yue shrugged. "Hen, Kevin and the others are busy with things over there right now. The shelter is just a necessary project to deepen cooperation."

Of course, this was just a superficial reason, but it was enough to convince Mebius.

"Is that so? Then it seems the problem is quite serious." Mebius nodded, a hint of gloating on his face. "I wonder how many of those old guys are still alive. Perhaps I should find time to go back and take a look?"

As he was speaking, Ai Yue suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Dr. Mei.

Ai Yue glanced at Mebius beside him and simply turned on the video mode: "What's wrong?"

"Dr. Ai Yue, you're here too, Mebius. That'll save us a lot of trouble." Dr. Mei took a look at the situation on Ai Yue's side and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Look, there's a technology exchange meeting going on in Mu Continent in a couple of days, and there are two spots available at headquarters. Are you interested?"

It really comes to whatever you want.

"Okay." Ai Yue nodded without much hesitation. "Who got the other spot?"

With Quinn at the experimental base, there is basically no need to worry too much. What's more, Ai Yue also wants to see the level of Mu Continent and see if he can find something useful.

He vaguely remembered that in addition to the "Star Gate" that could teleport to the moon and the "Eye of the Abyss" that communicated with the Quantum Sea, the armed puppets seemed to have been developed by Mu Continent.

Although it seems to be of no use now, it can save some effort to light up the technology tree.

"Of course it's me," said Mebius. "Right, Me?"

"You're actually willing to do this, Mebius?" Dr. Mei was a little surprised. "Haven't you always refused such things before?"

"This time the situation is special," Mobius glanced at Ai Yue and then smiled. "It's been a long time since I last saw my old friend, so I'll take this opportunity to go and see him."

"Oh, okay, I'll tell Su." Dr. Mei didn't care and just nodded. "He shouldn't mind."

Both parties were very straightforward, so they hung up the phone neatly after discussing the matter. After Ai Yue put away his phone, he glanced at Mebius again and said, "Want to see an old friend?"

The teasing tone in his words was a bit too obvious.

"Why, is it not possible?" Mebius rolled his eyes at him. "Don't be so self-indulgent."

"I was just wondering, do you really have any old friends?" Ai Yue said in surprise, "What are you thinking about?"

Mebius gritted his teeth in anger, and finally grabbed Ai Yue's arm: "You should have a bed in the bedroom over here, right?"

"Wait, what are you doing? It's still daytime!"

"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"

The two people just disappeared in the main control room, completely ignoring the artificial intelligence next to them.

"Sister, didn't you say before that Dr. Ai Yue's spouse is Miss Aponia?" After the two disappeared outside the door, Quinn asked with some confusion, "What about Dr. Mobius?"

"Shh, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Prometheus didn't even raise his head. "Children shouldn't worry about adult matters—this is what Dr. Ai Yue told me before."

"Oh."

I'm going to take a day off, hope you can understand

Since there are too few settings for Mu Continent, many things need to be written by myself. I need to think more about it and look through the settings again. I would like to take a day off hereby.

From the time this book was published until now, I only stopped publishing for one day at the beginning when no one was reading it. At other times, I would at least publish an update, but my brain really wasn't working well today, so I have to reorganize my thoughts.

Moreover, after finishing the daily part, we will soon enter the Herrscher subjugation battle. How to write the Herrscher next, whether to follow the original plot, and how to design it if not, all need to be planned carefully to avoid collapse. So readers who have ideas can also discuss it in the Tucao or comment area, I will read it.

Finally, thank you all for your continued support (bow)

Chapter 37: Are there any more experts?

Mu Continent is a very magical place, because there is no independent country on this continent, but only a city called "Atla", and it is jointly managed by countless countries, as if there are no indigenous residents here, and it was completely developed by outsiders from the beginning.

"It's said that there are indeed no indigenous people here, which is very strange," Wei Erwei explained to Ai Yue on the plane, "but the first people to discover Mu Continent were from Europe, so it's hard to say what the situation is."

Ai Yue just shook his head and made no comment.

"Mu Continent does indeed have no indigenous people. The specific reason is unknown, but it may be related to the continent itself." Mobius took over the topic. "According to previous exploration results, this continent does not have the conditions for the birth of civilization. Everything about it is very strange."

After saying this, she couldn't help but look at Wei Erwei: "By the way, why are you still here? Shouldn't you have gone to Mu Continent a long time ago?"

"Oh, I'm going to build a shelter, so of course I have to prepare in advance. How can I just leave like that?" Wei Erwei smiled and glanced meaningfully at Ai Yue, who was looking down at his phone. "Did I disturb you?"

"No, there is." Mebius replied expressionlessly, then closed his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't want to pay attention to this guy who was ruining the mood.

Wei Erwei didn't intend to shut up just yet: "Come to think of it, you guys are going to attend a technology exchange conference, right? Don't you say you need to bring your own projects to this conference? What are you bringing?"

"I didn't bring any." Mebius said succinctly, "I'm just a judge, I don't need a project."

"I didn't bring any either." Ai Yue patted his arms. "When we get to the scene, we'll see what everyone else's level is and then we can just improvise."

The projects that Ai Yue has been working on nowadays are basically of the kind that would make others wonder if they have just eaten them raw. Even if you pick out the most basic one, it is of the kind that would be worshipped by the entire Mu Continent.

Let’s not talk about anything else, even the Mu Continent is unable to make further optimizations on the basis of Ai Yue’s design for the Honkai Energy Adsorption Device, let alone other incredible research.

"That's right. With your level, there's actually no need for you to come." Weiwei nodded. "If you had said you wanted to attend in advance, these scholars might have taken the initiative to change the meeting location to the Fire Moth headquarters."

"That's putting the cart before the horse," Ai Yue said, finally looking up. "Come to think of it, are these the only things here? I remember Dr. Mei's project to communicate with the Quantum Ocean is also on Mu Continent, right?"

What he had just looked at was the list of projects that Mu Dalu was planning to participate in the science and technology exchange conference, but he didn't find what he wanted in it.

Not to mention the Eye of the Abyss and the Star Gate, even the armed puppets were not on the list. On the contrary, the list was filled with a lot of messy things, which made Ai Yue unable to resist the urge to turn around and leave.

The world's top technology exchange conference, is this it?

"Oh, that kind of project wouldn't appear on this list." Wei Erwei explained, "All the projects Dr. Mei is involved in are confidential. How could they possibly appear at the exchange meeting?"

"Then I feel like there's no need to go to this exchange meeting, right?" Ai Yue frowned. "It's better to visit the projects that can't be made public."

"Is there nothing you're interested in?" Mebius nodded. "Then why not just not go? I'll show you around Atla."

"It's not a good idea to just be absent. After all, it was arranged by Dr. Mei." Ai Yue touched his chin and then turned his gaze to the girl who had been very quiet. "Hua, how about you go in my place?"

"Huh?" Although she didn't say anything, the girl who had been paying attention to this place widened her eyes in surprise, "Me?"

The next day, the much-anticipated science and technology exchange conference was held as scheduled in the largest convention and exhibition center in Atla City.

The entire conference is expected to last three days, with more than one hundred projects and nearly four hundred scholars participating. Countless technologies that ordinary people have never heard of will be publicly unveiled for the first time, and there will be a luxurious jury lineup. It is a rare technological event.

Such a grand event naturally requires the media, and countless reporters are eagerly waiting, trying to get subversive first-hand explosive news at the exchange meeting.

However, reporters soon noticed that most of the scholars who came to participate in the science and technology exchange meeting were walking back and forth in the venue, as if they were looking for something.

"Could it be that some top scholar has arrived?" The reporters exchanged glances. "I heard that the medical giant, Mr. Spasey, reappeared in the public eye a while ago. He's said to have discovered a cure for a terminal illness."

The reporters had already studied the list of names of the scientific and technological exchange conference thoroughly. Anyone with some fame had been carefully studied, but they did not find any person who could cause such a sensation?

"Mr. Spacey is still in Europe and was on a patient's duty this morning. How could he possibly be here?" Someone immediately shook their head. "And Dr. May is definitely not going to be there. Who else could it be? Even Dr. Mobius wouldn't have this effect, would he?"

It can be said that Mebius's strength is almost unmatched in the academic world. Coupled with her well-known bad temper, not only does she have a very bad reputation, but it also makes countless scholars stay away from her. Without a strong enough heart, even scholars of the same level dare not approach her easily, so naturally she will not cause such an effect.

Not to mention that Mebius withdrew from the meeting again at the last minute yesterday and was replaced by his assistant Klein, who won't be there at all - oh, it's more strange to say that she was on the original list of judges.

To be honest, it's a good thing that Mebius didn't come, otherwise she would have given zero points to countless projects.

So the question is, if it’s not Dr. Mei, nor Dr. Mobius, nor Dr. Spasi, then who is this person that so many scholars are constantly looking for?

Such doubts were soon answered, because the scholars immediately gathered in one direction according to the index on the map. The crowd density was so high that even nearby projects were paralyzed.

The reporters looked in the direction the scholar was moving and found that it was a very inconspicuous booth that could even be easily overlooked.

Its location was excellent, almost in the very center of the entire venue, but it was also quite shabby, with only a table, a computer, and a girl who didn't look like a scholar at all.

Is it related to the meeting place?

The reporters quickly found the information of this booth according to the map and discovered that the booth numbered "01" did not even have a project title, only a name.

"User: Ai Yue."

Chapter 38 You also have the Three Laws, right?

Fire Moth Atla Branch, Third Science Department, Seventh Laboratory.

This is a rather messy laboratory, with a large amount of discarded materials and parts placed randomly, and countless crumpled waste papers and documents scattered on the ground. One can't help but imagine what kind of sloppy guy the owner of this laboratory must be.

In fact, the owner of this laboratory is indeed a bit... unkempt.

"Hmm...is this the 137th or 138th experiment?"
