"But Boss, if this place is really finished, then we are doomed, right? We can't talk to a ghost, right?"
Chen Ye asked worriedly.
"No, if that's the case, it's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, we can't be sure of the so-called gods' temper, and we're not 100% sure we can convince them. But if they really perish, we can find a way to find the source of the overlap in this world and resolve it. Finally, we can find powerful enough weapons and return to our world."
Shen Qiu expressed his opinion very rationally.
"The boss is really amazing. He figured out a way out in no time."
After listening to what Shen Qiu said, Chen Ye said excitedly.
"Don't flatter me. This is just my unilateral guess and idea. It may not be correct. It is also possible that the civilization here still exists. Our top priority now is to find Yun Xiaoxi and the others first."
Shen Qiu analyzed calmly.
"Well, but you don't have to worry too much, Boss. After my investigation, I found that there are indeed quite a few humanoid mechanical weapons here, but they are all broken."
Chen Ye quickly comforted him.
"I see."
After listening to Chen Ye's words, Shen Qiu's nerves were still tense and he dared not relax at all. He always felt that things were not that simple.
The two continued to explore forward, but after taking a few steps, Shen Qiu suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Boss? Is there something wrong?"
Chen Ye also stopped and looked around nervously.
"No, come with me."
Shen Qiu took Chen Ye into a nearby store. The store was in a mess, with collapsed shelves everywhere, a pile of dusty goods scattered on the ground, and several damaged portable floating intelligent machines.
Chen Ye looked at Shen Qiu with a puzzled look. This store looked very ordinary.
Shen Qiu did not answer Chen Ye, but activated his atomic magic suit to cover his entire body.
Then he performed virtual operations, and prompt boxes popped up one after another.
"Unbind the identity."
"Authorization passed, release successful!"
…
After Shen Qiu untied the information binding, he removed the covering of the Atomic Magic Armor, then took it off and handed it to Chen Ye.
"Boss, is this for me?"
Chen Ye looked at Shen Qiu in astonishment.
"Who else should I be talking to if not you? If you run into danger, run away and hide quickly. I don't have the energy to take care of you."
Shen Qiu instructed in a calm tone.
"Thanks, Boss!"
Chen Ye took it with great emotion.
Shen Qiu then picked up the Atomic Magic Armor that Ogusa lent him, bit his finger and dripped blood on it.
The blood seeped into the atomic magic suit and it was immediately activated.
A set of special white atomic magic suit completely covers Shen Qiu's body.
The surface of the entire white atomic magic suit is covered with complex circuits, with a white sun branded on the chest. Sharp white spikes protrude from the joints and shoulder areas, making it look extremely cool.
At the same time, a virtual operating interface appeared in Shen Qiu's pupils.
Shen Qiu immediately retrieved the basic information data of this set of atomic magic suit.
Atomic Magic Suit: Heart of the Sun (Second Generation Nanomechanical Armor)
Weight: 2.7KG
Features: Unknown
Material: Unknown
Embedded module: P2 purity prismatic atomic module (remaining 77%)
State 1: Sleep state.
State 2: Fully activated, magic armor covered, providing all-round defense, including conventional physical defense, high temperature defense, low temperature defense, poison defense, and mental defense.
Fully activated abilities: atomic scanning, ability amplification, strength amplification, hover flight, atomic shield, 72-hour life cycle.
Special state: Overclocking mode, which consumes the energy of the atomic module at a large scale and improves the overall performance by 2 times.
…
Shen Qiu was very satisfied when he looked at the data of this set of Heart of the Sun. It was worthy of being the second-generation atomic magic suit, and the increase it provided was several times stronger than the first generation.
If you force overclocking mode on, performance can be doubled again.
At this time, Chen Ye also activated the Atomic Cube to cover his entire body, and said excitedly.
"Wow, that's really great."
"As long as you like it."
Shen Qiu said this lightly, and then took out the SS-level genetic potion, God's Blessing.
"Boss, are you going to give me an injection?"
Chen Ye said in astonishment when he saw this scene.
"Injection! At this point, I can increase my strength a little bit!"
Shen Qiu was not the kind of indecisive person. He immediately removed the atomic magic armor covering his arm and injected the potion into it.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and prepared himself for the side effects.
But unexpectedly, this time it was not particularly uncomfortable. Instead, Shen Qiu felt that his thoughts had become clearer than ever before, and his body had become a lot lighter.
Although I don’t know what changes have taken place, it is obvious that the body has been comprehensively strengthened.
So Shen Qiu said to Chen Ye.
"let's go!"
"Boss, don't you want to take a rest? Aren't you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, I feel fine."
Shen Qiu then took Chen Ye out of the store. Since both of them were now covered with atomic magic suits, their vision became very wide.
Shen Qiu looked up at the space, and a blue planet suddenly came into view, which was particularly shocking. At this time, they were in the orbital belt, rotating around the blue planet in an orderly manner.
In addition to the blue planet, Shen Qiu also saw a large amount of garbage and debris floating in space.
If nothing unexpected happened, all this garbage and debris should have floated out from the orbiting belt.
This means that the surrounding belt facilities have problems, but this is also normal. After all, when this place was destroyed, there must have been a fierce conflict. It must have caused some damage to the surrounding belt, and no one has maintained it for so many years.
"Boss?"
Seeing Shen Qiu stop and stare into space, Chen Ye shouted softly.
Shen Qiu came back to his senses and said.
"It's okay, let's go!"
"Uh-huh!"
Chen Ye followed Shen Qiu and continued searching forward.
The two men crossed one street after another, and then they saw a bud-shaped metal building in the distance, the top of which seemed to be able to expand.
"Boss, the shape of that building is very special. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary building."
Chen Ye raised his finger and said.
“Go and take a look!”
Shen Qiu then took Chen Ye over.
When they got closer, they saw humanoid mechanical weapons lying in front of the building.
“Be careful!”
Shen Qiu raised Long Zheng in his hand and walked over cautiously.
Chen Ye slowed down and followed Shen Qiu.
Soon they walked in front of these humanoid mechanical weapons. Each one was about 2.7 meters tall and shaped like an ordinary atomic samurai, but was made entirely of pure white metal, emitting an icy luster. Their shoulders were broad and thick, inlaid with sharp spikes, and there was a protruding core on their chests. Humanoid mechanical weapons with diamond atomic modules embedded inside came into view.
"Boss, is this Atomic Samurai? Why does he look so advanced?"
Chen Ye asked Shen Qiu in amazement.
"It's a bit like an advanced version of Atomic Samurai. Although it's not as good as the Atomic Samurai in the MX series, it should not be underestimated."
Shen Qiu squatted down and examined it carefully.
These humanoid mechanical weapons had all their diamond-grade atomic modules on their chests shattered, and many parts of their bodies were damaged. They must have been killed.
"Boss, how powerful is this weapon?"
Chen Ye asked very curiously.
"These machines haven't reached LV5 strength yet, but I estimate they should be at advanced LV4 level."
Shen Qiu made a conservative estimate.
"So scary?"
Chen Ye took a breath of cold air. It was too scary that an ordinary mass-produced weapon could reach the advanced LV4 level.
"It is possible that there are stronger ones. Let's not talk about this any more. Let's go into this building and see if we can find anything!"
Shen Qiu stood up and said.
"good!"
Chen Ye responded quickly.
Shen Qiu and Chen Ye walked into the cylindrical building, which was in a mess.
There were damaged machines and weapons everywhere, as well as broken office workstations, and a large number of documents scattered on the ground.
Shen Qiu looked around, picked up a pile of documents scattered on the ground, and took a look. Although the words on it were very neat, he couldn't understand them at all.
He tried to translate using the Atomic Magic Suit and bracelet, but all translations failed, indicating that there was no database support.
Looking at this result, Shen Qiu's brows were almost twisted into a ball.
At this time Chen Ye said excitedly.
"Boss, there's a fully functional computer machine over there."
"What's the use? Can you understand it? Or can you crack it?"
Shen Qiu asked rationally.
"It seems so. What should I do?"
Chen Ye was stumped by Shen Qiu's question and scratched his head in confusion.
"What else can we do? Now we have to find Angie so that we won't be blind. Otherwise, we won't even know what to do next."
Shen Qiu analyzed calmly.
"Yeah, then let's hurry up and look for Anji. He should be with Yun Xiaoxi."
Chen Ye responded in agreement.
"Let's go."
Shen Qiu took Chen Ye and left, continuing to search for Yun Xiaoxi and the others.
…
Time passes by little by little.
In a blink of an eye, more than two hours passed, and Shen Qiu calmed down and continued searching.
At this time Chen Ye suddenly stopped, Shen Qiu turned his head to look at Chen Ye and asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ye did not answer Shen Qiu's words, but sat down directly, concentrating on sensing something.
At this time, on the top of a group of buildings in the distance, Xiao Hui was running at high speed, jumping directly from one building to another.
Xiao Hui looked into the distance and then made a squeaking sound.
At this time, Chen Ye's eyes lit up, he got up and said to Shen Qiu.
"Boss, follow me!"
"lead the way!"
Shen Qiu didn't waste any words and just followed Chen Ye.
…
At this time, on a deserted street.
A white cylindrical cleaning robot, like a duck, moves around unsteadily on its own.
This cleaning robot seemed to be born with congenital stunting and walked crookedly, but every time it was about to hit the building next to it, it was able to adjust itself in time.
Shen Qiu and Chen Ye appeared on a tall building not far away and watched this scene.
Shen Qiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and jumped straight down.
He quietly came behind the robot and put his hand on its head.
The robot couldn't move forward for a moment.
Angie's puzzled voice came from the robot.
"Xiao Xi, why don't you leave?"
"It's not that I don't want to move, I just suddenly can't move anymore, as if someone is holding me down."
Yun Xiaoxi replied in confusion.
After saying that, she tried to turn the cylinder robot's head to look back, but there was no one. She turned around again, but still didn't see anyone.
"Isn't it a ghost?"
Yun Xiaoxi said a little scared.
"Ah! No way? Let me scan it."
Angie said quickly.
Just as Angie was about to scan, a pair of eyes appeared outside the hole in the cylinder.
"Who is the ghost?"
Shen Qiu said with interest.
"ah!"
Yun Xiaoxi and Angie were frightened at the same time, and the entire cylindrical cleaning robot fell backwards.
Shen Qiu quickly reached out to hold the cylindrical cleaning robot, then took it off and said to Yun Xiaoxi and An Ji with a smile.
"It's me."
"Shen Qiu!"
Yun Xiaoxi and An Ji reacted immediately and showed expressions of great joy.
"Why are you hiding in this robot?"
Shen Qiu asked with a smile.
"We were afraid of running into a powerful enemy, so we disguised ourselves a little."
Yun Xiaoxi explained happily.
"Yeah, we're smart, aren't we?"
Angie echoed.
Shen Qiu looked at the two of them and replied with a silent smile.
"Smart enough. Now you don't need to pretend like this."
"Uh-huh."
Yun Xiaoxi and An Ji responded happily that it was really inconvenient for them to carry the robot.
At this time Chen Ye ran over and shouted happily.
"Xiaoxi, Angie!"
"Chen Ye, you're here too, that's great!"
Yun Xiaoxi and An Ji replied happily.
"Of course I was here, because I was the one who found you."
Chen Ye replied proudly.
"Xiaoxi, Angie, have you seen Bei Kailun and the others?"
Shen Qiu asked quickly while being happy.
"No, we passed out, and when we woke up everyone was gone."
Angie replied, shaking her head.
When Shen Qiu heard what Angie said, he sighed. It turned out that things couldn't be that smooth.
"Shen Qiu, what should we do next?"
Yun Xiaoxi looked at Shen Qiu and asked.
Shen Qiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Angie and asked.
"Anji, can you decipher the text of this world and read the relevant information?"
"Don't worry, it's no problem. I inherited all the universal languages and advanced programming data from MX11 Multi-Brain Light. These are actually the cornerstones of the construction of the Herat world."
Angie patted her chest and said confidently.
"In that case, we will search for special buildings and collect information about this world while looking for Bei Kailun and the others. We must hurry to find out what is happening in this world, otherwise we will be like a headless fly. This is very important for our next action."
Shen Qiu made a decision quickly.
"Boss, you are looking for a special building. Why don't we go back to the building we were in? We might find something there."
After hearing what Shen Qiu said, Chen Ye immediately made a suggestion.
"Okay, let's go check it out!"
Shen Qiu replied without hesitation.
More than an hour later.
Shen Qiu and his friends arrived at the metal building in the shape of a flower bud.
Angie said happily as she scanned the sign at the entrance of the building.
"Great! This is the information data center. I'm sure you can find a lot of information here!"
"In that case, let's go in."
Shen Qiu walked in with Yun Xiaoxi and others.
Soon they arrived at the information data center lobby.
Angie looked around and said in surprise.
“This place is badly damaged.”
"There's a perfectly good machine over there, would you like to go take a look?"
Chen Ye pointed to the corner and asked.
"No need, the interior has been destroyed. Besides, this is just a basic service area, there shouldn't be any important information. Let's go up to the second floor."
Angie replied, shaking her head.
"OK!"
Shen Qiu led a few people inside and headed towards the emergency stairs.
It didn't take long for them to reach the second floor via the emergency stairs and they walked along the corridor towards the entrance to the second floor lobby.
When they entered the hall, a hidden surveillance device on the corridor wall lit up.
In the lobby on the second floor, Angie pointed forward and shouted excitedly.
"Go to that machine!"
Shen Qiu and his companions looked over there and saw a rather large service machine in the hall.
They walked over immediately, and Yun Xiaoxi put Anji on the machine. Anji stretched out his little hand, extended a thin connecting cable, and connected it to the port.
Although the virtual projection device of this service machine has been damaged and cannot display images, Anji can still use this machine as a starting point to crack the data center and read the data stored inside.
Shen Qiu and others stood there, waiting quietly.
After about an hour, Angie disconnected the connection and took back the thin connecting wire.
"How about it?"
Shen Qiu asked with tense nerves.
Angie showed an extremely complicated expression and said with emotion.
"I have read the historical information about Herat, and I have a rough idea of what happened here, but it is really sad."
"Please explain it to us in detail!"
Shen Qiu suppressed his trembling heart and said that they had explored so many worlds and pursued the truth for so long, and it would soon be revealed.
Angie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he projected a picture and began to explain.
"This Herat civilization is actually the same as us. They all started from the lowest primitive civilization and developed through various disasters. They were also an extremely underdeveloped agricultural civilization at first. After 3,000 years of agricultural accumulation, they achieved national unification after a large-scale war. Then the Industrial Revolution broke out and they entered the Industrial Age."
When Angie said this, she projected an old black-and-white photo, which showed large areas of heavy factories with black smoke billowing up!
"Well, then what?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"The 200-year industrial era has led to the rapid development of civilization, the accumulation of wealth, and the emergence of many capital giants. However, excessive industrial production has also caused a lot of pollution and the outbreak of many contradictions and conflicts. As a result, the Herat civilization began to change its thinking and began to develop towards cutting-edge technology."
Angie said seriously.
"It sounds like everything is normal here. Nothing special?"
Chen Ye asked a little puzzled.
"The highlight is yet to come. With the development of cutting-edge technology, Okas, the president of Miracle Company, a famous capital tycoon in the Herat world, invested countless financial and human resources in artificial intelligence and robots, and successfully developed a large number of robots. From then on, the Herat civilization entered the mechanical age."
"As a large number of robots replaced people working in production, service, security, medical and other industries, the unemployment rate soared wildly and the economy became seriously deformed. Later, due to population decline, low employment rate and a large number of people without money, the products produced by those capital giants were not consumed by many people even if they were cheap. And a large number of robots require high maintenance costs. Those capitals can only use various methods to absorb nutrients, which further stimulates contradictions."
Angie said in a deep voice.
"A fight broke out?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"No, it was just the famous July Fire Incident that broke out, where the genius Doctor Hegfass, Borens and others called on a large number of people to take to the streets to protest and boycott intelligent robots."
Angie said this and projected a video clip.
On a busy street, a young man wearing glasses was seen leading a crowd of people holding flags and protesting angrily.
They shouted with all their might.
"Destroy the robots! Give the jobs back to the people."
“Protest against exploitation!”
…
At this time, many security robots on the scene, led by a female security robot captain, were blocking the angry people.
The leader, Hegface, angrily picked up a stone and threw it at the security machine captain.
Shen Qiu and others looked at the projected image and didn't know what to say.
At this time Angie continued.
"This protest actually had a good effect. The government agencies of Herat stepped in to mediate and made certain concessions, and the situation was finally calmed down. However, three years later, something very interesting happened."
"What is it?"
Shen Qiu and others asked curiously.
"The one who led the protest, Hegras, was suddenly set on fire after the demonstration and was almost burned to death in his home. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the captain of the security robot that he had smashed saved him."
Anji said to Shen Qiu and others.
"Isn't this just revenge?"
Chen Ye couldn't help but complain.
"You are wrong. Everyone thought so at the beginning. But as the investigation went on, the arsonist was found out, and the situation took a 180-degree turn. Guess who did it?"
"Who is it?"
Shen Qiu and others asked curiously.
"Borens! He is the good friend who protested with Hegras."
Angie replied immediately.
"No way, one's own people attacking one's own people, what's the purpose?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked in confusion.
"It's very simple. He staged and intensified the conflict himself, and he could even get promoted! But it doesn't matter. After Hegras survived by chance, his ideas changed. Not only did he not reject robots, but he also vigorously developed robots, and eventually developed a new intelligent artificial intelligence and intelligent robots. He used the new artificial intelligence to direct the development of the entire civilization, and achieved absolute fairness and justice! The entire Heratus civilization ushered in a new boom. Not only did everyone settle down and work happily, but they also transformed the polluted planets and built orbiting belts to migrate a large number of people. At this moment, the Heratus civilization entered the interstellar era and was unprecedentedly prosperous!"
Angie said with great envy.
"Isn't this all going in the right direction? What happened next?"
Shen Qiu asked, narrowing his eyes.
"The information after that is not very complete. The general situation is that the robots suddenly lost control and attacked humans, and humans fought back, and the two sides engaged in a melee. There is no more information after that, after all, everyone died."
Angie thought for a moment and explained.
Shen Qiu touched his chin and thought for a long time before saying.
"No, these data are incomplete, and the most critical parts are not shown! First, we still don't understand what the overlap is. Second, why did their civil war affect us? Third, who launched the MX experiment and the immortality plan? And one more thing, why did their robots suddenly go out of control?"
"I don't know about these. I guess I need to explore further. However, I also found a lot of unexpected things in the database."
Angie said excitedly.
"What?"
Shen Qiu and others looked at Anji curiously.
"First, I found the location of the interstellar airport. There should be a small spaceship heading to the main star. Second, I also found the coordinates of a base called Hidden Light. This base is located on the main star. It is said that there is a laboratory codenamed HL inside. This laboratory is not only Hegras's, but also the one we have been looking for. We should be able to find some clues if we go there."
Angie said very confidently.
"Let's go to the interstellar airport and look for Bei Kailun and the others, and then set off for the main planet."
Shen Qiu said without any hesitation.
"good!"
Yun Xiaoxi and others nodded heavily.
…
