Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

Lin Lan also understood Wichita's strength and nodded in agreement for the forward general to go alone.

After obtaining permission to attack, the red-haired girl in the white White Eagle Navy sailor uniform did not even unfold her ship uniform. She braved the heavy snow and rushed to the gap in the factory wall, then stepped sideways and went in.

Wichita's series of actions were as smooth as flowing water, without even making any sound.

"Enterprise, how many minutes do you think it will take Wichita to finish dealing with these Rubik's Cube Energy Robots?"

After watching Wichita enter the lumberyard alone, Lin Lan jokingly asked Enterprise who was standing next to him, but Enterprise just said lightly:

"five."

"Five minutes? Isn't that too fast? This factory seems to occupy quite a lot of space."

As soon as Lin Lan finished speaking, Qiye blinked at him seriously and continued:

"Four."

"???"

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment, not reacting to what the company was saying, but the company's countdown continued.

"Three...two...one."

"Wichita reports that all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals have been eliminated by this general! Commander, you can come in."

When Lin Lan came to her senses, Wichita's cheerful voice was heard on the communication channel.

"You still underestimate our strength~ Commander~"

It was not until Bremerton patted his shoulder with a smirk on his face that Lin Lan realized that Wichita had already eliminated all the Rubik's Cube Energy Robots in the sawmill in just a few seconds.

He stared blankly at the company in front of him that was chuckling, and after a long while he smiled helplessly.

The White Eagle God of War, who was always very serious about fighting, actually joked with him.

Chapter 417 Hacking into the Cube Energy Robot Host

The interesting scene of Lin Lan's conversation with Enterprise also made the surrounding White Eagle ship girls laugh out loud.

Even though South Dakota had a serious expression and didn't say much along the way, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

It's rare that a company would joke around.

As expected, with the commander by our side, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will feel very safe.

After entering the logging site covered with ice and snow, Lin Lan saw at a glance two Rubik's Cube Energy Robots that were completely scrapped and still emitting circuit sparks on the open space.

It was obvious that the two Rubik's Cube Energy Robots were destroyed by Wichita in one blow, and they didn't even have time to use the guns that fell to the ground.

And Wichita was standing in front of the only intact factory building, waving at them.

"Hey, Commander, here, here!"

Lin Lan and the other White Eagle ship girls quickly came to the gate of the factory, and when he saw the scene inside the factory, he couldn't help but gasp.

In the huge factory, the original logging equipment had been dismantled and piled up in the corner, and replaced by a huge black metal equipment placed in the center.

The device is shaped like a honeycomb, with countless sealed cabins arranged regularly on the surface and pipes connecting the cabins to the underground.

There is no doubt that all the Orlan people who were here before were imprisoned in this strange device, lost consciousness, and became the "batteries" of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot.

Just looking at this device, Lin Lan didn't understand. It was obvious that the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot itself was charged with energy from Rubik's Cube fragments and did not need to obtain energy from the outside world.

But if all we need is electricity, can human organic bioelectricity really compare to the power generation equipment in Oran today?

With this question in mind, Lin Lan decided not to rush to rescue these Oran people, but to first figure out what energy this device was extracting from the bodies of these Oran people.

This task naturally fell to Akashi and Ingraham.

While the two little girls were researching the device, he also arranged for Washington to take the Baltimore sisters outside to stand guard to prevent the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot Force from coming to support them.

He didn't have to wait long. Soon the profiteer holding a wrench came up to him and said to him in confusion:

"Commander, the principle of this device is very strange. The energy it extracts from these nutrient capsules is not ordinary electrical energy, but more like energy like thoughts."

Lin Lan was stunned when she heard Mingshi's words.

Thought? What is this?

Seeing the confusion on his face, Akashi shook his ears and explained to him with a more understandable example:

"Hmm... the so-called thoughts are similar to the synonyms of soul and thought. Well, in short, the people in these nutrition cabins are now just shells. Their thoughts have been extracted by this device and taken to an unknown place."

After hearing what Mingshi said, Lin Lan finally understood. Isn't this equivalent to uploading and taking away all the human thoughts imprisoned in these nutrition capsules?

The mainframe of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot captured the Orlans,

It turns out that it is not just for obtaining ordinary electricity.

While a look of realization appeared on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved that he had let Akashi and Ingraham study the device first.

If he had just given the order to forcibly rescue the Oran people in the nutrition cabin, I'm afraid that these Oran people would not have recovered their minds and would have become permanent vegetables!

While feeling thankful, Lin Lan also felt very strange.

The host of this Rubik's Cube Energy Robot can actually extract the thoughts of these Orlan people. What on earth is it trying to do?

In addition, the agent of the arbitration agency also appeared nearby, which means that behind all the actions of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot host, it is not just the experimental agency that is supporting it.

Could it be that the host of this Rubik's Cube Energy Robot really wants to learn the AI ​​Matrix from The Matrix and upload the thoughts of all Orlan people into the virtual world?

Wait, the virtual world...

Lin Lan suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped the key point.

"What kind of virtual world life will the host of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot create for these Orlan people?"

"Could it be... the original world?"

When Lin Lan whispered the name, even he was startled.

It seems that this explains everything.

The creator of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot is Siren after all.

According to his speculation, all of Siren's actions towards Oran were intended to transform Oran into a second original world for developing Rubik's Cube technology.

Then after the Siren discovered that he began to interfere with the experimental process, it is very likely that they used this Rubik's Cube Energy Robot host to trigger an intelligent rebellion and directly captured the Orlan people to join a virtual original world!

Moreover, the virtual world is more malleable than the real world and is easier to be controlled by Siren.

After he told Enterprise and others about this idea, all the White Eagle ship girls couldn't help but frown.

There is nothing wrong with the commander's reasoning, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why even the arbitration agency would appear here and cooperate with the experimental agency.

But this caused a big problem for the original plan to destroy the host tower.

If they really destroy the giant tower, can the people of Orlan, whose consciousness is preserved in the virtual world created by the host, really wake up smoothly?

Lin Lan also realized this serious problem. If they forcibly destroyed the main tower, the consequence would most likely be that the captured Oran people would never wake up again.

This is a difficult situation. It is not right to attack them directly, nor is it right to allow the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot to capture the Oran people at will.

While everyone was deep in thought in the factory, Helena glanced at everyone, seemed to have made an important decision, and said timidly:

"Well... I actually have a way that we can try."

After hearing Helena's words, Lin Lan and the other girls on the White Eagle ship all looked at her curiously.

"Helena Meta taught me the technique of program hacking before. If the nutrition cabin here can connect to that virtual world, I can try to hack into it and modify the data of the host center."

"Meow? That's a good idea. Those nutrition pods provide a perfect connection entrance.

Try to hack meow!"

After hearing what Helena said, the little profiteer Akashi immediately said that this plan was feasible.

And Ingraham nodded and said:

"Helena's hacking skills are top-notch in the entire port area. Commander, you can let Helena give it a try."

Lin Lan didn't have any good ideas in the first place, but since Akashi and Ingraham said so, he would of course readily agree to let Helena try to hack into this virtual world.

So he and a group of White Eagle ship girls walked up to this cold and strange metal device.

As if by magic, Akashi pulled out several computer-like instruments from the storage space and placed them on the edge of the large device.

Helena turned on the instruments and began to quickly type codes on the keyboard that Lin Lan could not understand. At the same time, lines of green data streams kept jumping on the display.

Time passed minute by minute, and no one said a word, for fear of interrupting Helena's hacking process.

A few minutes later, Helena suddenly stopped what she was doing, turned her head to look at Lin Lan with a hesitant expression.

Seeing Helena like this, Lin Lan knew that there must be some problems with the hacking work.

He smiled and said to Helena in a gentle tone:

"It's okay, Helena. If you have any questions, just tell me. This is just an attempt. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."

After hearing what Lin Lan said, Helena seemed to have mustered up her courage. She took a deep breath and said:

"Commander, I have actually successfully hacked into the core of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot through this device."

"The central system of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot host is very similar to the Siren Core Storage Tower template that Helena Meta provided me before, so I successfully obtained some permissions, but..."

Having said that, Helena paused, as if she had made up her mind, and looked at Lin Lan, saying in a firm tone:

"But this is the highest authority I can control at this node at present."

"In order to obtain sufficient authority to release all human thoughts in the virtual world, someone must enter the virtual world through the nutrition cabin connection and cooperate with me to crack it from the inside of the host center."

"And there are only two vacant nutrition cabins left."

Chapter 418 Virtual World Utopia (3800 words)

"Entering the virtual world to crack it? Isn't this a bit too dangerous?"

After hearing what Helena said, Lin Lan immediately felt that it was unnecessary.

Whether it is himself or his ship girl, they can obviously destroy the giant tower in the outside world, so why should they take the risk of not being able to restore their consciousness and upload it into this unknown virtual world?

Compared with the Orlans in this alien world, Lin Lan cares more about the safety of his ship girls, and he can't take the risk.

Georgia, who likes watching science fiction movies, also asked Helena in a serious tone:

“Is it too risky to let your consciousness enter this virtual world?”

Facing everyone's doubts, Helena seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and mustered up her courage and said:

"The authority I control now is enough to ensure the safe withdrawal of the consciousness coming from this node. I think we can give it a try."

"And Memphis gave this to me after the commander arrived at the artificial island."

As Helena spoke, the blue-haired girl took out a silver instrument that looked like a helmet from the ship's storage space.

This sophisticated instrument sparkled with a silver luster, instantly attracting the attention of Lin Lan and all the girls on the White Eagle ship.

Before Lin Lan could recognize what this instrument was, Qiye widened his eyes in disbelief, looked at Helena in a serious tone and asked:

"Reality Lens?! Has the algorithm optimization and debugging of this technology been perfected enough to be put into actual combat?"

When Lin Lan heard the company mention the name of this instrument, he immediately remembered what this instrument was.

In the plot setting, the Reality Lens is a functional device that can only be used by the commander, who has extremely high adaptability to the Cube.

In the directional folding of the game activities, he, as a player, transmits his consciousness into Anchorage's mental space through the product of the White Eagle Star Sea Laboratory - the reality lens, and is brought into the virtual original world.

The Type II ship suits of Yorktown and Bumblebee were the design information he obtained from the ship creator Dr. Angel and the sirens maker Dr. Osta in that virtual original world.

To put it simply, the function of the reality lens is to enable the user to transform everything in the imagination into real things in the virtual world through consciousness.

It's like the omnipotent power that can only be possessed in dreams, where one can create impossible things based on one's imagination at will.

But in reality, this reality lens is not very effective, because this power can only be used in the virtual world.

But if he enters the virtual world, combined with the reality lens, it is equivalent to directly obtaining administrator privileges, even comparable to the creator God.

But the problem is that Lin Lan vaguely remembered that the reality lens should be a large device with extremely high power consumption.

Moreover, in the plot at that time, the White Eagle camp should not have thoroughly studied it, and even his entry into the virtual original world as a player was an accident.

"It was Helena Meta who helped us perfect it. We have tested this technology hundreds of times.

Stability and portability have been greatly improved, but the commander disappeared, so there has been no way to conduct a practical trial. "
