Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

Being stared at by a robot that was more than half a body taller than him, Chen Lin felt a chill down his spine. However, when he thought that he could survive a fall from a height of hundreds of meters, he suddenly had nothing to be afraid of.

He had asked Shiluwa a while ago if she knew that there was a robot named "Swaro" in the lower area. He thought that Shiluwa might have to work for a long time to get the information, but who would have thought that she already knew about it!

Shiluwa told him that Shivalo was a prehistoric war machine, whose full name was [Prototype No. 3 - Supervisory Machine]. It seemed that for some reason hundreds of years ago, it was left in the Lower District as a backup force to ensure the safety of the Lower District pioneers. As time went by, the number of members of the pioneers decreased, and the supervisory machine that served as their assistant lost its record. Especially in the past 20 years when the Upper and Lower Districts were blocked, a lot of information about the Lower District was lost.

These were all materials she had seen when she was working in the research department. Not long after she read this material, Shiluva came into contact with the sealed material of the star core in the box containing this material and participated in the "forbidden research". Later, she was imprisoned and demoted to a commoner. Her life fell from the peak to the bottom, so she had a very clear memory of this period.

According to the records of the Earth Fire, Swarro suddenly appeared one day after the upper and lower areas were blocked. None of the miners who had worked in the lower area knew of his existence. Moreover, when Swarro appeared, all kinds of automatic soldiers appeared from everywhere like ants. His style of doing things was not concealed and he was very high-profile. It was impossible that the miners who had worked in the lower area for most of their lives had not seen him.

Combining these questions and what Clara said about a long time ago, she woke up in a garbage dump and saw Swarlow.

Therefore, Chen Lin judged that Swarovski was probably in standby mode for some special reason, and Clara accidentally discovered and activated it, which led to the addition of a very special force such as the Mechanical Settlement in the lower area.

Swarovski never hurts anyone on his own initiative, and even provides shelter for homeless wanderers. Whenever there is a conflict between the wanderers and the miners, he will resolve the conflict in his own way. His purpose is most likely to protect the existing humans and prevent infighting among humans.

Chen Lin thought about this conclusion for a long time and analyzed countless situations. In the end, he felt that this was most likely the case.

As a robot that has existed for nearly a thousand years, Swarovski has played an important role in Beloberg's historical documents, military information, technological research, etc. Even after close contact with him now, Chen Lin feels that he is still Beloberg's only high-performance computer and is very important to Beloberg's development.

If possible, he wanted Swarlow to join the team to unify Beloberg.

Xi'er had told him more than once that Swarlow was always talking about "calculation results" and even calculated how long the upper and lower areas of Beloberg could exist.

Chen Lin had some knowledge of calculations, and he didn't mind having a good calculation with Swarovski.

A light flashed in Swarovski's eyes.

"Calling the connected network image, we have detected a total of 4152 video records in the key locations of "Rivet Town" and "Forging Hammer Town". The records are being analyzed... I am confirming the authenticity of the incident. It will take some time."

"It's okay, just take your time." Chen Lin found a place to sit down indifferently and started playing with his phone.

When Xier saw that the expected conflict and danger did not occur, she sat next to Chen Lin and stared at the glowing glass curiously.

She often saw Chen Lin pressing this thing, which she found very interesting, especially the fact that text could be displayed with just a simple press. Even if Xier had never seen text in this shape, the system would automatically convert it into Beloberg text that Xier could understand.

If Xier wants to see it, just let her see it. Chen Lin is too lazy to hide it.

Chen Lin originally wanted to send a message to Bronya to ask about the situation, but unexpectedly, as soon as he turned on his phone, he received a message from Esta, a wealthy woman who had a very good chat with him, and another message from his chief scientist who had been unlucky, Black Slave... Bah! Black Tower.

Chen Lin exclaimed, and clicked on the only chat box with 99+.

The stars are so beautiful: "'Interstellar Peace Company Takmu Star Region Branch's explanation of the principle of energy bridge construction and physical energy transmitter structure - how to make a physical energy transmitter from entry to earth'.PDF" (67 days ago)

"Lin! I bought you the things you asked me last time. I asked a research institute I know to write a paper on the relevant issues. How about you take a look at it?"

"Oh, and the space station has almost cleared out the remaining antimatter energy. Come back and have a look when you have time. I also bought a lot of things you haven't eaten from the Internet. Let's eat together and talk about the interesting things I discovered recently in astronomy."

"What are you busy with? Remember to tell me when you're done."

……

"Lin, look at what Pepe did today. It made it so dirty. Ahhh! I'm so mad!" (51 days ago)

"Hehehe, I washed Pepe and gave it a new look."

……

"I asked Ms. Himeko, you guys are looking for the star core that is causing the navigation disturbance... No wonder I can't see you online, I guess the signal is not very good. Please be safe, today's work is done, I'm going to have dinner." (32 days ago)

……

"I heard that there are space pirates in the star field near you. Lin, you have to be careful. If the signal is good, let me know that you are safe. If you need help, you can also call me and I will find a way. Good night." (7 hours ago)

How persistent is this girl? She has been sending me good night messages every day even though she hasn't received any reply for more than two months.

It can be seen that it is really difficult for her to find someone who is as interested in astronomy as she is and who is not greedy for her money...

Just as Chen Lin was thinking about what to reply, his communication network with Esta was suddenly disconnected again.

"Grass."

Chen Lin couldn't help but curse, and then he heard Xier's puzzled voice.

"Brother Lin, is this your family member?"

"A friend of mine does research in the field of astronomy. Because her hobbies and research fields are relatively niche, she seems to know only me as someone who can understand her interests and family reasons. She is a rather stubborn girl in a certain sense."

"Girl...girl...?"

"correct."

Xier said "oh" and suddenly stood up and ran to a nearby place to get some fresh air.

Chapter 97: CPU Burns for You

Without any grand speeches or passionate speeches, Chen Lin simply told Swarovski what he could do now.

He would not tell the robot outrageous lies, not to mention that there was nothing to deceive about the robot. Besides, Swarlow was not a simple technological product. He could use computing methods that did not seem particularly advanced to Chen Lin to distinguish which words were credible and which were not.

Cheating only complicates things.

Leaving Swarovski to verify the situation on his own, Chen Lin leisurely flipped through the unread messages on his phone.

As for the stuff from Black Tower? No need to think about it, it must be another push for more updates.

After a few minutes, Swarovski suddenly moved. Chen Lin noticed it and looked up at the "giant" walking towards him.

"Content of the image: Confirmed to match. Inferred reason for the disappearance of the Rift: Unknown. The scene is consistent with the final agreement to preserve humanity. In view of your attitude and the evidence you provided, I do not deny that the disappearance of the Rift has something to do with you, outsider Chen Lin. I am willing to give you a chance to explain the situation. If it is beneficial to the agreement to preserve humanity, I can consider your request."

Robots are good in this regard, they follow the protocols stored and run earlier. This is probably the main reason why Dihuo thinks Svarro is stubborn.

"It seems that we have the same goal."

Chen Lin replied, looking up at the brightly lit Panyan Town in the distance, and said, "Yalilo-VI is very special. I can't give up here and watch Beloberg become a dead city. I have invested countless efforts and resources here. I hope to unite all the humans in Beloberg to face the dangers of the rift together and eliminate the extreme cold wave covering the planet."

Swarovski's eyes lit up, and the dull mechanical sound sounded again.

"According to calculations, the possibility of eliminating all rifts is: 0."

"Don't worry about your calculations all the time, Swarovski. I'm not saying anything bad, but before I came here, did you record anyone who could eliminate the rift?"

"Searching the database...Search completed. No one or any method that can clear the rift has been found in the database."

"Isn't that right? You didn't even calculate me, so how can you be so sure that the rift can't be eliminated?" Chen Lin said unhappily: "Your calculation is just a reference value. The calculation data that needs to be input will always lag behind the actual situation. In the final analysis, it is a dead end."

Chen Lin continued: "If you don't believe me, let me ask you a question. This question will break your calculation logic. Do you believe it?"

"Under quantitative data, the probability of a calculation error is less than one in ten million. I don't think you're right, outsider."

"Then let me ask you." Chen Lin smiled imperceptibly, "One day, I asked you to buy me a portion of fried rice, but when you leave, I will tell you that if you see someone selling salmon bread on the street, buy me two portions. Now, Mr. Swarovski, let me ask you, if you accept my commission and see someone selling salmon bread when you buy fried rice for me, what will you do?"

Swarovski paused for two seconds and answered very seriously: "According to the calculation of the content, condition one, 'I didn't see anyone selling salmon bread', is not met, and condition two, 'I saw someone selling salmon bread', is met. Calculation result: I will buy you two servings of fried rice."

"Puchi...Hahahaha!" Xier, who was taking a walk not far away, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chen Lin shook his head: "The calculation is wrong. What you should do is buy one serving of fried rice and two servings of salmon bread."

"..."

Swarovski was stunned for a moment. He frantically input the questions asked by Chen Lin into the core calculation, but no matter what he did, the final result was still to buy two servings of fried rice.

"I know you have many ways to refute what I want to say, but this is the rigid nature of program calculations. Even if you consider everything, you can only get the same result. If you don't believe that my conclusion is correct, Swarlow, you can ask Clara. I believe she will not lie to you."

Chen Lin took his hand out of his pocket and said, "Similarly, what I know is not in your original calculation, including my method of eliminating the rift, the power called 'psychic energy'. Aren't you curious why I know you are here? Because my psychic energy can see your location."

"The sophistry of cunning men."

"No, no, no, this is not sophistry, but the truth. Let me put it this way, in your calculations, what is the outcome for Rock Town?"

Shivalo said: "Based on the speed of the Rift's expansion and the average number of casualties in the human resistance to the Rift, Rock Town will be completely swallowed up by the Rift in 10 years, 4 months, and 21 days."

"Then can Panyan Town break away from its dependence on the upper districts and become self-sufficient in daily necessities and industrial products?"

"Absolutely impossible."

"Let's see if this thing is included in your calculations again."

Chen Lin snapped his fingers, marked an area not far ahead, and exchanged one mineral for iron ore.

Suddenly, iron ore began to fall continuously from the originally calm space, and soon a pile of ore was formed that was several times taller than Swarovski.

Swarovski's CPU was almost burned out by the scene in front of him.

"Scanning space fluctuations: No abnormalities found... Calculating the possibility of "iron ore" being generated out of thin air: 0%... Calculating the possibility of human manipulation: 0%... Conclusion: An error occurred, and it is impossible to determine the reason for the "iron ore" being generated out of thin air. An application has been submitted to record the database. Application result: approved."

"Can you understand this?"

Chen Lin snapped his fingers again.

The next second, the piles of earth beside the people began to shake, and then large pieces of them floated into the air, as if there was something solid supporting them from underneath.

"Energy fluctuations detected, analyzing the energy...Analysis results: core operation overload, internal temperature rises to a dangerous threshold, variable system calculation content is being cleared, variable system is restarting..."

"Variable 1: The mysterious means of the outsider; Variable 2: Clara's trust; Variable 3: The outsider's assistance to Beloberg. The calculation results are reloaded..."

Faintly, Chen Lin seemed to smell a burning smell.

After a series of action-based responses, the error code in the core suddenly appeared. This time, Svarro finally took the young man from the outside world in front of him seriously. He asked, "How did you do it? This is not a power recorded in any database."

Hearing this, Chen Lin knew that Swarovski believed in his ability to solve the problem of the rift, and the calculation logic was full of flaws in front of him, a stellar scientist, so it was easy for him to find some bugs.

Chen Lin smiled and asked, "How is it? Has the calculation lost its effect?"

"I admit that you are a variable in the calculation. I cannot calculate your existence and means to get the result. Question: Outsider Chen Lin, what do you want me to do?"

"I want Belloberg to survive with more people on the premise of eliminating the Rift World. I believe our ultimate goal is the same. Secondly, I need you to reconcile with Earth Fire. The separation between the upper and lower areas is already very serious. The district must not continue to be divided."

Chen Lin said, "I will use my method to provide corresponding jobs and technology to develop productivity. And you - Swarovski, you are essentially a supercomputer with a lot of data stored in it. After Beloberg is completely stabilized, the things in your database will be of great use!"

"Interpretation: Do you want me to provide information and technology for the development of Beloberg?"

"I need information, not much technology. From the information I found in the upper zone, Yalilo-VI's technology in its heyday was only at the threshold of aerospace, and it was achieved with the support of the Interstellar Peace Company. I don't need you to give me most of the technology, I have it myself."

Chen Lin shook his head. "What you need to do now is to work with Dihuo to stabilize the situation in the lower areas. Use your reputation and Dihuo's assistance to bring the two factions together again. That's all."

"..."

Swarovski didn't say anything. It seemed that he was estimating the feasibility and significance of Chen Lin's proposal, and whether listening to him could make humans live longer.

Half a minute later, Swarlow spoke.

"Calculation results imported, human survival maintenance agreement passed."

"That's right."

"Lie test system activated. Question: What is your motive for doing this?"

"motivation?"

Chen Lin thought for a moment and answered solemnly: "If Beloberg were gone, I would probably be heartbroken and unable to sleep well for a few years. Beloberg has become my indispensable hometown."

"Physiological change test: passed; objective fact verification: passed; corrected variable result: 10% probability; conclusion: no adverse effects. Outsider Chen Lin, I believe what you said. Prototype No. - Supervisory Machine 'Svarro' is willing to continue to implement the human survival maintenance protocol. I can agree to your request. If there is nothing else, I will leave here."

Swarovski looked at the young man in front of him. The amount of information he had obtained today was too huge. The core was still in a high temperature state after the overload calculation. He continued to return to the mechanical settlement to wait for cooling, and then resumed the calculation that had not yet been completed.

"Okay, if you have any questions or doubts about me, and it's inconvenient for you to come to town to find me, you can ask Toklara to pass the message to me."

Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "I have always sent people to protect Clara. You can rest assured that she is safe in the town. No one can hurt her with me here."

"..."

After seeing off Swarovski, who had quietly come to the edge of the town to observe, Chen Lin took Xier back to Panyan Town.

On the way, Xier kept taking time to glance at Chen Lin, and she didn't speak until they entered the town.

"So you have brought that rigid robot over here? Is he really that useful?" Xier was curious about this question.

"Yes, if I didn't know what caused the boundary rift, I might have to ask him a lot of things, but unfortunately I know the real reason for the boundary rift." Chen Lin answered slowly.

"The real reason for the world rift..." Xi'er's eyes were fixed on Chen Lin, and she asked in confusion: "You know such a mysterious thing?!"

"if not?"

Chen Lin asked back, and paused for a moment before saying, "Since the day I came to this planet, I knew that the rift was produced by a substance called 'star core'. Unfortunately, I didn't know where the star core was, and I planned to leave here after the investigation. Who would have thought that it would turn out like this..."

"If your trip goes well, will I not be able to see you?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be like this. You know, I never lie to anyone. Although you may not be happy to hear me say this, this is the truth."

"I'm not that stingy..."

Xier thought about it and didn't know where this inexplicable idea came from. She had never thought about such things before and her focus was always on the present.

If the other ending she imagined was true, perhaps one day she, the underground fire, and even the lower area would be swallowed up by the rift. She would also be slowly consumed to death in a corner and dissolved by the rift due to conflicts with the monsters in the rift and the lack of continuous resource supply.

During this month, I have been by his side almost every day from the moment I open my eyes to the moment I close them.
