Robotic arm.
Control console.
metal tools.
Precision instruments.
An android body that looked like a young man was lying on the console.
He looks pretty handsome, with short black hair and strong features.
The body is slender.
Belongs to the type that makes you look thin when you are wearing clothes, but looks fat when you are undressing.
"This body was born for fighting, and its strength is close to the limit of existing bionic humans."
"The strength and toughness of the bones in the body also reach the top level of bionic humans."
"The appearance is exactly the same as that of humans. There is no difference. I even prepared special pupils and fingerprints for him to handle simple inspections."
There is a big difference in appearance between androids and humans.
No fingerprints.
It's easy to detect.
When Dr. Jiang was building this body, he obviously wanted this body to become the kind of bionic person that is infinitely close to humans and almost indistinguishable as rumored on the Internet.
"The weapons and equipment in the body are almost the same as the one you had in West City. There are also two warheads on the back. Don't use them unless necessary. They are very powerful. One can destroy half a building."
Lu Wen's must-have special skill is self-destruction.
Many parts of the body can explode, causing damage to enemies.
Such as buttonhole beads.
"The short knife can also be popped out of the arm. The wrist part can be folded and the sharp blade can be stretched out. It can be used by surprise during close combat."
"All fighting modes in the Azure database are also loaded, don't worry."
"When necessary, this body can shed all bionic materials, expel most of its bones, curl up into a metal ball, and protect four chips for escape and defense."
Dr. Jiang is obsessed with shrinking into a spherical shape.
The same goes for his institute.
Then he waved his hand again.
The laboratory at the bottom of the lake seems to have come alive as a whole.
The layers of white decorative panels moved slowly, and the internal lines began to swim like snakes.
Lu Wen once controlled this research institute, so he knew that there were quite a lot of secret rooms hidden inside the research institute, and he could make these secret rooms appear before his eyes when needed.
It is rising from the ground at this moment.
It is Dr. Jiang’s arsenal of weapons and ammunition.
The space is huge.
There are so many things to see.
Weapons of all kinds, from all ages, are hung or placed in this arsenal.
Dr. Jiang walked between various weapons, explaining them one by one as if introducing a product.
Judging from his expression, he seemed a little intoxicated with the feeling of being surrounded by ordnance.
"Semi-automatic pistol, 9mm caliber, produced by a military industrial company in Baker City, easy to carry..."
"Automatic rifle, 7.62mm..."
"Semi-automatic rifle..."
"Multi-purpose bayonet... tactical knife... multi-purpose rack... "
"Large caliber sniper rifle..."
"Light grenade, grenade launcher..."
"Individual missile..."
Look around.
His vision was filled with cold hot weapons.
"That's enough, doctor. You don't need to introduce him too much. I can't take him with you."
Lu Wen hurriedly stopped Dr. Jiang.
The most he could take away was a backpack's contents.
Look like this.
If only I could introduce it for a few more minutes.
Dr. Jiang will probably pull out the tanks and fighter planes from deeper underground.
Baker City used to be a real steel city with rich underground resources and military-industrial companies everywhere. Many of the most sophisticated weapons now were produced by the original Baker City.
If not sanctioned by Central City.
Baker City should now be the most powerful of the nine cities, both economically and militarily.
"Don't worry, I have a bigger gift to give you."
Dr. Jiang knew that Lu Wen would face danger alone this time.
So I really took out all my money.
He snapped his fingers.
Suddenly.
A black trend surged throughout the institute.
It looks very abrupt under the white and simple interior decoration style.
Dark as ink, like flowing ink.
But if you look closely, you can see it.
Those are little ants.
It is very small, less than half the length of a human hair, and much smaller than normal ants.
"I'm still researching Yin Long's nanorobots, but the progress is very slow. His technology is indeed much better than mine."
Dr. Jiang pointed to the black trend in front of him.
He told Lu Wen: "I reviewed Baker City's 'Ant Soldier' plan and made improvements on that plan. It took a very short time. This is the limit of what I can do now."
These little ants are obviously much worse than Yin Long's nanorobots.
But it's enough, you can't tell it without looking carefully.
The number is huge, tens of thousands.
Can change form to form a sharp bayonet.
Or sneak in alone to collect information.
These little ants were an unexpected surprise to Lu Wen. He looked at these little guys and said, "Doctor, I can't take so many, I can only take some of them."
"Bring as much as you can. You can make these ants form a body armor and attach it to the surface of your body. Just change its form when needed."
"That makes sense, I'll try to take as much as I can."
Lu Wen expressed his gratitude to Dr. Jiang.
Dr. Jiang said it was just a piece of cake.
He said that that day he was shocked by Yin Long's nano-robots. It took him a long time to crack some of them and interfere with a small number of robots, allowing him and Bai Hao to enter the silver-white inner world.
Since coming back, he has been distractedly studying the original 'Ant Soldier' plan in Baker City.
At the same time, Yin Long's small silver-white robot is still being dismantled.
"It's a pity that I don't have Yin Long's skills."
Dr. Jiang sighed.
He was not satisfied with the little black ants he had made.
"Human beings' creative ability is indeed much stronger than that of androids. Flesh-and-blood creatures are really amazing. I really don't know when humans will be able to thoroughly study the secrets of their brains."
"This race is very different from other animals. If humans really perish one day, androids will probably not survive forever."
"Lu Wen, you need to get used to this body first."
Dr. Jiang completed the data conversion for Lu Wen.
This body, if it were Bilan's side, the price would probably be tens of millions.
All kinds of systems are equipped, everything is available.
In Dr. Jiang's own words, this is one of the most powerful bionic human bodies ever created.
…
Here in West City.
It was approaching noon and the meeting was not over yet.
Lu Wen was offline throughout the entire process.
He didn't even bother to listen to such boring stuff.
He knew that Wei Boyan might be bored to death now, but he still had to smile and discuss various matters.
This middle-aged man could stay up for two days and two nights while chasing criminals, but it would be quite uncomfortable for him to sit down and arrange major events in the city.
This is the price you pay for being mayor.
Finally it was time for lunch.
Wei Boyan was obviously relieved.
When he walked out of the conference room, the first thing he said was: we need a team.
With so many things piled up, if he were to analyze and deal with them all by himself, he would go crazy.
After establishing a team, someone will analyze everything for him. In the end, he only needs to listen to the results and make a decision, which will be much easier.
Yesterday's dinner was not too enjoyable.
The news of Lu Wen's attack interrupted the dinner, and no one wanted to eat afterwards.
This meal is especially rich at noon.
The guard force has also been strengthened a lot.
It's daytime now, so I expect this meal can be eaten safely.
but…
The surprise came anyway.
This time the accident came from a remote no man's land.
The area where the crude oil pipeline was dug.
The extreme weather stopped last night, so Central City and Kerry City sent out more humans and androids, and also called low-Earth satellites to detect the nearby environment.
[The crude oil leak was controlled and did not cause large-scale pollution]
[Just now, our on-site personnel sent news that a machine for digging pipelines was found]
[What is surprising is that the logo of Mowu City Heavy Industry is printed on the machine]
This news stunned everyone.
The heavy machinery is not far away.
About ten kilometers away from where the pipeline was dug, the fuselage was stained with black crude oil.
[Due to the previous extreme weather, our staff on site did not carefully search the area]
The machinery that was found was covered with khaki cloth.
The color is very similar to the surrounding environment.
The cloth was also covered with sand.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like it was deliberately covered up, not wanting to be discovered.
"Is it done by Mowu City? City Heavy Industries, this is an enterprise directly affiliated with the parliament's capital injection."
The melon-eating people in Mowu City were stunned.
They are still exchanging blows with West City, winning every victory and singing the praises of progress.
When you have time, try some of the restaurants in Kerry City and Central City.
At this juncture, this news suddenly came out.
Eat melon and eat it on your own head.
Every resident of Mowu is filled with doubts.
"Why do we go all the way to dig up crude oil pipelines in Central City and Cree City? Aren't we just eating enough?"
"Even if we dig it up, it will definitely not leave any clues. Someone is deliberately throwing dirty water."
It is indeed an obvious frame-up.
When I first heard this news, the vast majority of people were rational.
"First of all, the urban area of Mowu City has been expanding. The urban heavy industry will eliminate a large number of mechanical equipment every year. These equipments are said to be destroyed, but it is difficult to say whether they have been completely destroyed. You can check the production year of those machines."
"Secondly, if Mowu City really took action, why did they leave the machine so close to the scene?"
Some people pointed out that the yellow cloth was very crude and not well disguised at all.
It’s just waiting for others to discover it.
This method is very low-level.
But some people say that this is what Mowu City did on purpose.
The reason for doing this is also very simple.
At the beginning of this year, Mowu City and Kerry City failed to negotiate a crude oil order and had a falling out.
It was very ugly at the time and the relationship was tense for a while.
Both cities are very shameless and are laughed at.
Later, rumors spread that Central City had a hand in it.
Involves some unfair competition.
"Could Mowu City be taking advantage of this riot to do this deliberately to vent their emotions?"
"Do you think the top brass in Mowu City are just kids?"
"Why not? Some old guy used to govern the country by tweeting all day long."
Arguments are inevitable.
As soon as the quarrel started, more and more people were dragged into the noisy whirlpool.
At the beginning, I could barely leave a trace of reason, starting from the incident itself to discuss whether it was correct or not.
But then it got worse and worse.
Reason is a very fragile thing when it comes to arguments.
Soon it escalated to various mutual quarrels between North and South, race, culture, etc.
Central City and Kerry City have been arguing all day long, and now suddenly there is a third party, Mowu City, which is quite lively.
There are many people in Mowu City.
Residents are also strong in language arts.
Simply counting the number of people, Mowu City is now as good as West City plus Central City plus Kerry City combined.
Of the 900 million people in the world, nearly 200 million are in Mowu City.
After the riots, whether there are still 900 million people is a question.
The economy of Mowu City is also very strong. The pressure on young people has always been the highest among the nine cities. A considerable number of people jump from buildings every year.
As for the combat effectiveness of the army...
Kerry City suffered considerable losses in the android riot this time. Although the northerners have strong combat capabilities, they don't know how much combat power they have left.
Here in Mowu City, probably because Lu Wen always informed in advance and A00 paid attention, the losses were minimal.
…
Here in West City.
The luncheon is over.
An old executive said: "We have to go back to Mowu City quickly. Something is wrong. Someone is targeting us."
An accompanying congressman also spoke: "It's a very low-level method, an idea that a three-year-old child can think of."
"But it's really disgusting."
"There has to be a result, and we can't let others slander us like this."
"We have already received calls from Cree City and Central City, asking us when we can hold a tripartite meeting."
“…”
Everyone began to discuss.
What happened this time was too strange.
Mowu City first bombed West's warehouse, causing casualties.
Then they dug up crude oil pipelines between Central City and Cree City, causing serious economic losses and causing people in the two cities to quarrel with each other.
These are all very low-level methods.
It gives the impression that the top management of Mowu City are all evil people.
If there are serious conflicts between cities, they have always resorted to economic sanctions, trade pressure, and other means, and sometimes use force to deter them.
No city would use such a low-level method.
The methods used these two times were like a child throwing a tantrum.
Nothing but disgusting people.
Nine cities have been established for 80 years, and there are really few conflicts.
Especially after Central City sanctioned Baker City, the nine cities gradually became independent, and trade exchanges decreased a lot.
As for what some comments said, the incident at the beginning of this year was finally reconciled.
The mayor at the time, Zhen Yingjie, even flew to Kerry City to ensure that the relationship between the two parties remained stable.
"If you say these two things are not connected, I won't believe it to death."
"The top priority now is to issue a statement, make a statement, stabilize the public's mood, and then investigate."
For this kind of matter involving the city level, the most important thing is to speak out in time.
Official statements are particularly important.
Wei Bo'an waved his hand and said calmly: "We all know that someone did this deliberately, and Kerry City and Central City also know it, so don't worry too much. As for the ordinary people... let them make trouble, no matter how serious the trouble is, they will not It could lead to urban war.”
He was very calm.
It's exactly what he said.
Because this method is too low-level, the senior officials in each city are well aware of it.
They are not fools, and fools cannot sit at the top.
As for ordinary people, they need something to divert their attention at the moment.
They were frightened during the android riots. Many of them were injured, lost their loved ones, and were emotionally depressed.
Many people need to blow off steam.
The androids couldn't let them vent their emotions.
These humanoid machines have now become a nightmare for many people.
The conflict between cities is a good outlet.
It is a very good method to make urban residents unanimously open to the outside world.
External conflicts not only allow them to vent their emotions, but also allow them to ignore some of the things the city itself is not doing well.
Wei Bo'an has been the commander-in-chief of the 10th District for a long time. He is very good at handling the affairs of a large district and has many methods at his fingertips.
"We will set off at two o'clock in the afternoon and try to return to Mowu City around ten o'clock in the evening."
A city cannot survive without its backbone.
At this time, someone needs to come out and support.
Those guys who stayed in Mowu City were not very courageous enough to make people feel reassured.
West City expressed its intention to stay.
It's hard to say whether he sincerely wants to stay.
Anyway, it’s just a process.
Anyway, I have to say a few words.
The time soon came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone came to the airport.
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and take a look."
Lu Wen entered the cabin first.
He checked everything inside the cabin, making sure that the power system, landing system and other modules were normal, that there was enough fuel, and that there were no bombs or anything...
It took more than half an hour in total.
Then he came out again and walked around the plane twice to check some more important parts.
After the inspection, he said to the person in charge here: "Please show me the ground staff's inspection sheet."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu Wen, we are professionals and there won't be any problems."
The inspection form was quickly sent over.
Lu Wen scanned it quickly.
Nothing is missed, everything works fine.
Only then did he feel free to let everyone board the plane.
"Okay, let's all go in."
He made an apologetic gesture to the royal family, the mayor and others on West's side.
After all, his approach shows extreme distrust of West City.
Might be humiliating to this side.
But he had to do it.
What if this plane has an accident midway
And Wei Boyan and others did not survive.
At that time, it will definitely trigger a real urban diplomatic crisis.
"This is as it should be. After all, Mr. Lu Wen, you were attacked last night."
“The City of West needs you to do that right now.”
"After the reconstruction of West City is completed and the city regains its new life, I sincerely invite you to visit again."
People here understand.
The attack last night made them lose face. West City is too weak now.
Lu Wen's approach is indeed not humiliating, but just wants to ensure that the two cities can maintain peaceful relations in the future.
Two fifty in the afternoon.
The plane took off and returned to Mowu City.
…
at the same time.
Lake Bottom Research Institute, Baker City.
Lu Wen had adapted to his new body. He was carrying a black backpack, black trousers, and a blue denim jacket. He looked very casual and hit the road.
Depart from Baker City.
To that crevasse in the ice.
It's quite a long way.
Driving through the desolate southern no-man's land, you may have to face all kinds of extreme weather.
Dr. Jiang also gave his improved car to Lu Wen. In his own words, the car can resist nuclear bombs and the driver's hair will not be messy.
Of course Lu Wen knew that this was a bit of a boast, but the car was indeed safe enough.
…
The underground of the north.
Eden.
In the warehouse.
Lu Wen was holding a photo.
The photo is a bit blurry and has yellowed edges, showing it has aged a bit.
A00 sat next to him.
Lu Wen pointed at the girl in the photo and said, "This is you sixty years ago. At that time, you got into Bilan and became a second-generation R&D personnel."
A00 nodded, his face expressionless, his eyes dull.
Still can't remember.
"This is a photo Dr. Lan He took of you and Engineer Yin Mu when you were just born. At that time, your appearance was still very different from that of humans."
There are two people in the photo.
The warehouse in the background was almost identical to the one they were in now.
The newly born A00 looked very weird. At that time, the skin was covered with a simple silicone material, and the facial features were not very anthropomorphic. Looking at it for a long time may trigger the uncanny valley effect.
But Engineer Yin Mu in the photo is very happy. This is the first step in opening the door to the era of bionic humans.
"This is more than thirty years ago, when you were having dinner together, and you were participating in the research and development of the fourth generation of bionic humans..."
"This was more than ten years ago, when you returned to Bilan..."
"This is the latest..."
Lu Wen had been using things from those two years in the past two days, trying to awaken A00's memory.
Worn tools in the warehouse, half-finished first-generation androids, test videos from eighty years ago, etc... Everything was used, but A00 never responded.
So now he plans to try something other than those two years.
If you really can't wake up.
That's the only way to use it.
Ask all the androids who have met A00 to extract that memory, slowly restore the original A00, and recreate her with the same personality.
…
This side of the meeting hall.
The team is all gathered together and the equipment is packed away.
Ready to go at any time.
"Miss Xia, we are all ready. When will we return to Mowu City?"
"Just now."
Xia Chuluo stood up from his seat and stretched.
Now I feel no pain when I stretch my waist.
Those two ribs were broken for two months.
Finally almost recovered
She hasn't done any strenuous activities during this period. Fighting depends entirely on the team, and at most she only fires a few shots.
Her ribs were only cracked and fractured, not dislocated.
If it is really dislocated, the recovery time will be even longer.
"Lu Wen, will your body stay in Eden?" Xia Chuluo asked.
Her phone suddenly lights up.
And Lu Wen's voice came out.
"Well, there's still something wrong with A00. I'll check the data again in a few days."
"I heard there's been trouble in Mowu City recently?"
"It's not really troublesome, just some disgusting little tricks."
"That's good."
Everyone in Eden spoke out to persuade him to stay.
Constantine said: "Don't you want to stay here for a while? You can ask the young people in Eden to take you to visit the two northern cities."
"No."
Xia Chuluo said that although he seemed calm now.
But something is quietly changing outside.
The real mastermind never showed up, and they didn't have much use in Eden.
"Let's go back to Mowu City."
