Arknights? Colonization Ark!

What is the probability that it can accurately type out a copy of the Works of Shakespeare every time?

Infinitely close to zero

Just like the source stone in his hand, it has undergone hundreds of reorganizations. Maybe the final external form is different, but the internal structure is surprisingly similar, and there is no difference in essence.

There were hundreds of similar control groups, and the results were similar in each one.

This only shows that the monkey has received absolutely professional training from humans and it knows what it is doing.

But Originium and Monkey King are different.

Monkeys are living animals, while Originium is just an inorganic substance.

The only possibility for this to happen is inorganic matter.

It has its own laws. Perhaps it is a von Neumann machine with a unique subatomic structure, just like the legendary gray goo storm lurking somewhere in the starry sky.

But we cannot rule out the possibility that it has its own life, but that would be too scary.

Because according to Zhang Miao's calculations, there is a very high possibility that there is a world on Terra that is invisible to the naked eye, and this world is connected to the spirit of every Terran.

If it is alive, then this spiritual world is definitely related to the omnipresent Originium.

Think more horribly, those who died because of Originium

Are they really dead?

If there really is such a world, would those who died of oripathy just live in the spiritual world, free from the real body, just like the Zelo Ascension Sect discovered by archaeologists?

Or maybe, just like those mechanical cyborgs, they just transferred their consciousness into the Originium. Maybe even the Originium skills that have never been understood are related to it!

Of course, this is just a guess. Even if it is true, it has nothing to do with him. After all, he doesn't even have a ticket to enter that world.

"Captain, Miss Yelena seems to be looking for you."

A sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Okay, tell her I'll be right there."

Hearing someone looking for him, Zhang Miao put down the source stone in his hand, stretched his body, and stretched his muscles. He didn't realize that it seemed like he hadn't left the house for almost the entire day.

I have to put down what I am doing and go out to do things. Working in isolation is not the right way after all.

......

Yelena sat on the sofa, propping up her head with some boredom, her feet shaking constantly, and her leather shoes hitting the ground with a thudding sound.

She is no longer wearing the same work clothes as before. After the clothing factory went online, everyone has many new choices.

After living in the snow for a long time, Yelena was not used to exposing her body to the air, so she always wrapped herself tightly. Even though Alina bought her a few pairs of stockings, she never wore them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she is wearing a white skirt on the lower half of her body. In fact, she has leggings and everything else underneath. Her originally petite figure is growing rapidly after getting enough nutrition, and now she looks like a graceful young lady.

"Why are you in the mood to come here to see me today?"

Zhang Miao appeared from behind her, placed the glass of water in his hand on the coffee table, and sat opposite her.

At this time of day, she should be training outside with Bozhukas.

Hearing Zhang Miao's question, Yelena pouted in dissatisfaction.

"The old antique refused to teach me the Sami Snow Festival Originium technique, so I came to you to see if there is any way to convince him."

Sami Snow Festival.

Zhang Miao had heard about this profession from Bozhukas. He remembered that after becoming a Snow Festival, one would lose their sanity and become cursed. It seemed to be a kind of witchcraft, which Yelena might not be able to learn, so he decisively rejected her request.

"That's dangerous, Yelena. There's no need for us to let you take that risk right now."

"But..."

She is now very unwilling to accept the fact that she seems to have been suddenly left behind by everyone, but she has no talent for learning, so she can only pursue what her father once told her about.

Even though she knew her father was doing it for her own good, she was still filled with resentment after being rejected.

As a result, Zhang Miao now seems unwilling to support her.

Finally, Yelena couldn't help but remember what Tallulah had said to her. It was as if she had suddenly found someone to talk to, and she poured out her entire situation to Zhang Miao.

After listening to the other party's complaints, even Zhang Miao did not expect that Yelena would be troubled by these things.

But he really didn't have a good solution to this problem for the time being. No matter what, he couldn't let Yelena touch the power of Snow Sacrifice, which sounded extremely dangerous, and he didn't need this.

And he's going on a long trip soon.

"Is that so... Then let's talk about this matter after I come back. Maybe I will have a solution by then."

"Come back, where are you going?"

Yelena was very surprised that Zhang Miao was leaving, because in her memory, he seemed to rarely leave the city. How come he suddenly seemed to be away for a long time?

"I'm going to Longmen."

"Dragon Gate!"

Yelena had heard of this place. It was Tallulah's hometown and seemed to be a very prosperous metropolis. She just didn't know how it compared to here.

She also knew that Tallulah had a sister there, who secretly wrote letters every day, but couldn't send them, so she hid them under the bed. Tallulah thought no one knew, but in fact she and A'lian were just too lazy to expose it.

"But what are you going there for?"

"I'm going there to do some things, and maybe I can find some 'people' there. In short, it's very important."

After Zhang Miao finished speaking, Yelena's expression suddenly became a little depressed, but soon she seemed to have thought of something, and she stood up excitedly and said

"Then can I go with you?"

Chapter 16: Buying out the future of the nations of Terra

?

Looking at Yelena who was inexplicably excited, Zhang Miao was confused.

"I'm going to do some serious work, why are you following me?"

"I………"

Yelena found that she couldn't seem to find any suitable reason, she just wanted to follow.

She barely got a good grade in this test, which made her realize that she was not at all a top student like Tallulah and the others.

Since there is no way to achieve any substantial growth in a short period of time, it is better to follow Zhang Miao and broaden your horizons.

"I heard that Tallulah has a sister in Longmen. I want to go see her. And I can be your bodyguard on the way."

To increase her persuasiveness, she clasped her hands, closed her eyes, and nodded in a solemn manner. Even though she could not compete with those in power armor on the battlefield, and could not compete with Tallulah in studies, her well-honed Originium skills were no worse than theirs.

Zhang Miao could only pretend that he didn't see this guy's stupid behavior, but it didn't matter if the other party was willing to follow him. He was not alone in this operation, and there were about 20 to 30 people accompanying him. One more person was better.

"Okay, then go and sign up in Lexington."

"Before I leave, I have something to tell Tallulah. This is related to the city planning after I go to Longmen in the future."

……

The combat records with the garrison this time were repeatedly reviewed by the people in the design institute for several days and nights. This was not only related to the equipment analysis of the Ursus conventional troops, but also required the redesign of a power armor that could be equipped on a large scale.

Although the [Defender] designed by Zhang Miao is excellent in all aspects, for today's cities, it is nothing short of a dream to want to mass-produce it.

Moreover, judging from the combat records, its attributes are seriously exceeded. If every soldier wears this set, then their enemy will not be Ursus, but aliens.

So they worked hard for several days to produce a new set of power armor, which was cheaper and lighter than the previous one. Although it was no different from rags in Zhang Miao's eyes, he resisted the urge to tear up the design draft and modified it again. He named it [Punisher] and produced two sets of equipment at the same time.

At least they now know that they cannot install some hidden energy on the back to send soldiers to the west early, which is an improvement. Subsequent land-based heavy firepower has also begun to be designed. Although mobile city battleships are a bit weird, they are still very capable of taking a beating. If they cannot be paralyzed in a short time, directly crashing into them can be a considerable means of killing.

After the designer left with great joy, Tallulah came in.

"I heard from Yelena that you have something to talk to me about?"

Zhang Miao, who had his eyes closed, opened them after hearing Tallulah's voice.

"Yes, I will be away from here for a while because of some things, so I want you to take over my job temporarily."

The sudden appointment did not make Talulah happy, because now was a tense moment and they might go to war with Ursus at any time. Why would Zhang Miao suddenly say he wanted to leave at this time?

Tallulah didn't believe that Zhang Miao would leave because he was afraid. He must have something more important to do, so she didn't say anything and just waited for him to continue.

"Our people at Fort Saint have bought us a buffer period of time, which could be as long as three months or as short as one month. During this period, the Third Army will not make any moves, so I must go to Longmen to make some deployments during this period."

Tallulah was also a little surprised when she heard a place name that was deep in her memory.

"You're going to Longmen!"

Tallulah really wanted to say that she wanted to go too, but Zhang Miao had already put work before her, and it was neither reasonable nor moral for her to act so willfully at this time, and she was not a person who did not know the importance of the matter.

But out of curiosity, she couldn't help but ask.

"Can you tell me what you are going to do?"

Zhang Miao didn't think this was a secret and there was no need to hide it from others.

"I'm going to go find someone and start a company."

There are many recorded immortals on Terra, but not many of them can be accurately traced. Recently, apart from Kal'tsit who has been running around everywhere, Zhang Miao has only found some news about Longmen. There is also the black snake mentioned by Tallulah. The spiritual world conjecture was also inspired by this [immortal black snake], but this guy said that he had been killed by Tallulah and cannot be found for the time being.

It seemed that he mentioned that there was another one in a certain university, but Zhang Miao didn't want to go find him. He might blow her head off before they could even talk a few words.

As for the group of guys in Kazdel, Bozhukasti had already told him not to have any unrealistic fantasies about them.

They were just a bunch of old-timers indulging in past hatreds, destined to be crushed by the wheels of history, and they might even be younger than him.

"If you are looking for someone in Longmen, maybe you can ask for help from a man named Wei Yanwu. He is my uncle and the current governor of Longmen."

Of course Zhang Miao knew about this, and this was also the purpose of his visit to Tallulah. Words alone were not enough, so he had to ask Tallulah for a token or something, otherwise there would be no way to gain her trust.

As a result, when he said this, Tallulah looked quite embarrassed.

When Kosice took him out of Longmen, he was wearing only one piece of clothing, which is probably still in the Duke's Palace.

Even if Zhang Miao took the dress over, Wei Yanwu would either regard him as a psychopath who attacked little Talula and kill him outright.

Or he would think that Zhang Miao came from Ursus to threaten him, and in the end a fight would break out.

Even if a photo is taken now, it would be difficult to convince the suspicious Wei Yanwu. He would probably still think that Tallulah was coerced.

In the end, Tallulah had no choice but to tell her secret with a blushing face, although she was probably the only one who still thought it was a secret.

"I still have some letters I've saved over the years. They were written to my sister Huijie, but I've never been able to send them out. If it's Huijie, she should be able to help you."

Zhang Miao nodded expressionlessly. There was nothing funny about this.

"After I leave, you must hurry up and seize the mine in the snowfield. This is crucial to helping me and Saint Fort. As for the mobile city, there is no need to worry about it for now."

Those who have constant property have no constant perseverance. Unless they are forced into a desperate situation, those people will not choose to abandon the Ursus authorities and the mobile city and leave with them. Ursus's national education for so many years cannot collapse overnight. Taking it away by force may even cause rebellious psychology, which will be more troublesome at that time.

Moreover, there are as many as one million infected people and village serfs in the mines on the snowfield, and these talents are what we need to win over now.

"But why do you want to open a company in Longmen? There shouldn't be anything missing in the city."

Tallulah has been here for so long. In her eyes, this is simply the world of her dreams, with powerful productivity, rich material foundation and perfect education. As long as they proceed step by step, people all over the world will choose to join them.

Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to start a company at this time?

"Tallulah, I went to Longmen this time not for anything else, but to buy something."

"Buy out the future of the nations of Terra."

Chapter 17: You may not believe it, but I discovered aliens

Kelsey is in a hurry

After she left the ice field, she headed non-stop towards the location of the Rhodes Island main ship.

The current situation is a thousand times more dangerous than what she has encountered in the past. If she is not careful, the broken ship Terra will be in danger of capsizing.

This matter has exceeded her ability to handle, so she must find the person responsible to resolve it.

When Kal'tsit returned to Kazdel, she saw that people's livelihood had declined along the way. Not to mention the need to rebuild everything, this place was now a piece of rotten land that no one wanted. The industrial base was zero, and agriculture was not far from zero. No one farmed at all. The Sarkaz who still lived here all had a tribal political system with the royal court as the unit. It cannot be said that they could not keep up with the times, but that the current Sarkaz royal court had never chosen to move forward.

The war has never stopped on the land of Terra, and Kazdel is a place it often visits. If there is any improvement here, it will be beaten back to its original state immediately.

Long ago, they were prosperous and had built a prosperous and powerful civilization on this land. However, due to the interference of the previous civilization, an emerging intelligent species joined the earth to compete with them for limited land and materials, forcing them to face internal friction again and again. Years of war almost emptied out their accumulated foundation in the past. Because of the brutal rule in the past and the hatred with other species, they were hostile to everyone, and there were several times when war-weary people within the race abandoned the tribe and left.
