The Honkai Simulator is not used to kidnap Herrscher!

"According to Prometheus's calculations of your movements, you slept for a total of 5 hours and 31 minutes last night. This is already on the edge of a normal person's rest time. Prometheus recommends increasing your sleep time or improving your sleep quality."

No matter how talented MEI was at this time, her body destined her to still need the same schedule as humans.

MEI said calmly, "I understand. Prometheus, prepare the mimic soul steel made from the information sent by Mu Continent yesterday. The experiment only has one step left."

"Instructions received."

Prometheus passed a piece of information about Mu Continent to MEI, and also gave MEI a small chip.

This is a special chip. To be more precise, it is actually a programmed method for making mimic soul steel.

There is no need to say much about the expensiveness of soul steel, and the value of this part of the program is even higher than that of soul steel.

The programming is the key core of the armed puppets that Mu Continent is developing. With the programming, the armed puppets have the capital to fight against the collapse.

But the one that Mu Dalu gave to MEI was a special rewriting program.

Its simplest, but most important meaning is that it can be embedded in the Honkai beast, rewriting the Honkai's orders and accusations against the Honkai beast, so that the Honkai beast obeys human orders.

In other words, it is the most critical core of the artificial Honkai beast.

It is actually not difficult to create an artificial Honkai beast.

After conducting that experiment, Chen Ran and MEI have clearly realized that collapse and consciousness exist in the same dimension.

Collapse is a special kind of consciousness, and consciousness is alienated collapse.

There is actually a fundamental difference between Honkai life and humans in terms of consciousness.

From this point of view, controlling the Honkai beast or even the Herrscher is actually not difficult in theory. It only requires another source of consciousness to cover the source of the Honkai.

But the real difficulty is value.

The powerful Herrschers have now been eliminated, but the Honkai beasts that appear now often have not yet shown their strength.

It is better to train more warriors to eliminate Honkai beasts than to control one Honkai beast.

Therefore, although the technology to control Honkai beasts exists in theory, its actual value is almost non-existent.

But the God of War had a different plan.

The huge military god that covers the world by relying on satellites, signal receiving towers, and the military god itself will become a weapon launched by mankind to cover the world and eliminate destruction.

However, through calculations, the material requirements for creating a huge god of war and requiring it to move are so high that it is unimaginable. Ordinary materials are simply unable to support it. Even if expensive soul steel is used, even if the entire Fire Moth is hollowed out, it cannot meet the requirements of a huge god of war.

Therefore, the God of War cannot be a machine.

At present, there is only one way in the world to quickly increase the hardness of materials: collapse.

The God of War's true form will be a man-made mechanical Honkai beast covering the Pacific Ocean, as big as the entire Australia.

After the coding program is input into the core of the artificial Honkai beast, it will be under the absolute control of humans.

And now, Mu Dalu has given the customized version code, and the next step is the God of War itself.

MEI came to the basement level of the laboratory.

Accompanied by the sound of security system verification, the specially designed security door opened completely.

What caught her eye was a spider-like alienated pure steel monster with joints made entirely of silver-white steel, and the entire monster was surrounded by a thick, transparent glass.

This is a huge steel model. The giant spider is as tall as three people, and the eight legs supporting its body are even a little overwhelmed.

"Prometheus, activate the security adjustment system, the highest security level."

"Prepare to inject Houkai energy, using a minimum concentration of 2000 hw as the baseline."

"Is executing the instructions."

Prometheus began to experiment.

As the Houkai energy was injected, MEI noticed that the pressure tank index in the experimental chamber was rising.

There is a threshold for the destruction inside the Fire Moth to isolate the experimental chamber. As long as it exceeds the threshold, there will be a risk of breaking.

MEI began to stare at the stress index on the screen in front of him, and his breathing became heavy.

"Based on my recent research on Honkai, I've discovered that its most significant characteristic is its profound transformation of inorganic matter. Whether it's a human corpse transformed into a dead soldier, or a Honkai beast composed entirely of sand and gravel, they are essentially alternative forms of life transformed by Honkai."

"Although they lack metabolism, they still possess emotions and the ability to think quickly. This is actually a special expression of consciousness. The existence of Honkai shatters humanity's understanding of life to the greatest extent possible."

"With the help of the materials provided by the Fire Moth, I have found the alienation node between Honkai energy and inorganic matter. Once this node is reached, all inorganic matter can be considered a reserve for Honkai life."

"Even in theory, when Honkai energy reaches infinity, the entire planet will be born with Honkai consciousness."

"And now, it's time to verify my theory."

Mei's eyes showed determination.

She believed that her experiment would succeed.

But she also knew that if this experiment succeeded, it would mean one thing: under all currently available theories, humanity's victory over Honkai would become unattainable.

Then, the fundamental definition of defeating Honkai must be revised.

From completely driving away the scale of space and time where humans exist, to completely expelling the collapse, to...

Just as she was thinking, Prometheus reminded her: "The alienation model has begun to show a special mechanism reaction, and it has been detected that the core of the artificial Honkai beast is forming."

"The mimic soul steel with the coding chip implanted will become a Honkai core before the Honkai core is formed."

This is the most difficult step.

It is also the most important step.

This experiment will only be meaningful if the coding program replaces the Honkai itself and gives this artificial Honkai beast consciousness.

"Instructions received."

Prometheus placed the chip in MEI's hand in the experimental cabin.

With the assistance of countless mechanical arms, the core of this huge model being formed was embedded with mimic soul steel.

Soul steel is a special metal with ductility comparable to mercury and a multi-variable structure.

And with the help of its coding program, it quickly replaced the core and replaced its command-giving mechanism.

"Prometheus, connect soul steel."

"Connecting to its external transmission signal."

Only the blurred image of Prometheus still spoke in a cold voice, and a progress bar appeared in front of MEI.

A rare hint of nervousness appeared in MEI's eyes.

She saw that this giant artificial spider, which had been mutated by the Honkai, began to react, and there was obvious nerve sensation in its ankles.

This is not simply a large toy powered by electricity or other energy, but an alternative life with simple thinking and built-in drive.

The amount of Honkai energy injected into it is already enough to support the actions of an emperor-level Honkai beast, but this is not the most worrying thing.

What really matters is that it 'came alive'.

This means that the technology for artificial collapse has matured.

"Connected."

Prometheus' voice was still emotionless and reached MEI's ears, but at this moment she felt that the voice was so pleasant.

"Doctor, do you need me to remotely control it?"

"Let it destroy this hatch directly."

"Yes, doctor."

Prometheus gave the order directly, but saw the huge Honkai beast in front of him let out an uncomfortable roar, and its forelimbs were like sharp cutting knives, directly destroying the experimental cabin in front of him.

The broken glass fell on the Honkai Beast, and its huge body made people instinctively feel fear.

This is a magnified spider.

As for why it is made like this, it is not because MEI likes it, but because the joint structure of spiders is actually extremely fragile.

If what was in front of me was not a collapsed life, but a driven model, then the eight thin legs would not be able to support the heavy body.

But now it moves and attacks almost effortlessly.

All I can say is that the collapse has increased the strength of the material too much.

But MEI has no fear, because it has already stopped moving.

"The test is complete."

MEI took a deep breath and said, "Please compile this into a document for me. From now on, the Bingshen Project can be put into production."

"Instructions received."

At this moment, Prometheus' eyes flickered: "We've detected someone approaching from outside the laboratory. Based on their characteristics, it's Chen Ran alone."

Mei frowned slightly: "I understand."

...

...

Chen Ran did not bring Kiana here because what he was going to discuss with MEI next was not suitable for anyone other than Kiana to know.

Kiana also expressed her understanding of this.

After buying the gifts, she was brought to Himeko by Chen Ran and became a member of the fifth team.

This was Mebius's operation. Last night, he sent the document of this matter to Mebius. He thought that with her personality, this would take at least a week or even half a month.

However, he didn't expect to receive an email from Hen the next day, which made Chen Ran flattered.

Hen is a senior figure among the Fire Moth warriors. He joined the Fire Moth earlier than Alicia and is basically the predecessor of all the warriors.

Although there is no military rank within the Fire Moth, Hen is undoubtedly the big brother.

Kiana's matter was settled. With Himeko and Hen's care, although Kiana would suffer, she was not in danger of her life at the moment.

And then, it's his business.

Apologizing is not an easy task. The most important thing is that you don’t know whether the forgiveness someone expresses verbally is genuine forgiveness from the heart.

It doesn't mean that the matter can be easily put aside just because one person says "sorry" and the other says "it's okay".

Chen Ran's emotional intelligence is not high, but he has made sufficient preparations.

What's more, he had other things to do besides apologizing.

On the way back after Chen Ran took Kiana to the fifth team, he received a new message from Yulandel who had opened it in the morning.

"I have some not-so-good news for you. The fifth collapse will occur in half a month."

After receiving the news, Chen Ran subconsciously thought about it.

He didn't know the exact time of the fifth collapse in the plot, but the time difference between now and the third collapse was only seven months.

In the plot, the time between the third and sixth collapses is three years, but according to the phenomenon that the later the Herrscher is in the order, the shorter the time interval.

In a few months, the Sixth Herrscher will appear.

This interval is obviously shortening.

Even Chen Ran cannot guarantee that the next fifth Herrscher will be the Herrscher of Ice in the plot.

As the butterfly that instigated the pre-civilization era, he finally influenced time.

But this is not a good thing.

His foresight is no longer useful, and more importantly, the end will come sooner.

Fortunately, he was not rejected by MENEI.

No matter what MEI thinks in his heart, on the surface the two of them are still in harmony.

"what's up?"

MEI, who had just finished the experiment, looked at Chen Ran with a tone that was neither distant nor close, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

Chen Ran said: "I am here to apologize to you and tell you a piece of news."

"Let's skip the apology part."

Mei paused and said, "Our relationship isn't that complicated. I provide you with benefits, and you provide me with benefits. That's enough. Besides, I wasn't actually angry that day. On the contrary, I was very grateful to you."

"Thank me?"
