Home Doesn't Need You Anymore
"Hiss~ You mean, our hometown doesn't need us anymore for development?"
Xi Ji took out a half-person-tall, all-black mechanical device from the System Space, carefully placed it on the ground, and looked at Yun Xiaoxiao with some surprise.
The device's surface was covered with fine lines, and there was a faint sense of energy flowing inside, clearly indicating that it was an energy device.
"Of course, we brought back technology from the late Information Age; most of it can be printed directly. What you've developed... isn't powerful enough."
Yun Xiaoxiao, with the [Electromagnetic Force Field Printer] above her head, a faint halo of blue light emanating from her, nodded solemnly.
"Forehead..."
Xi Ji tossed aside the remaining machinery, shrugged, and felt like he'd worked for nothing.
They spent a lot of effort developing a miniaturized nuclear fusion device from their own civilization, intending to bring it back home as an energy source, only to have it completely outclassed by the Scholar's Legendary artifact.
Yin Haoguang, who was standing to the side, silently put down the white document in his hand.
This is an extremely high-strength material that can directly withstand temperatures exceeding 30,000 degrees Celsius. Yin Haoguang plans to bring it back for research.
"Sigh, you guys really know how to do things. Captain Xi and I are in the same group, and we brought back almost the same things... How powerful is the late Information Age? Tell us about it."
Yin Haoguang asked curiously.
"Explosive power. Individual combat strength may not be high, but productivity is absolutely explosive. Imagine an industrial system that can automatically Copy, expand, and Optimization; it only needs energy and basic materials to continuously produce various equipment, weapons, and even Warships. This is the industrial capability of the late Information Age."
Yun Xiaoxiao placed the prepared energy storage next to the blue box, then selected the blueprint and started printing.
[Blueprint - Yun Xiaoxiao Nanorobots]
The light strip in the blue box began to flash rapidly, and subatomic particles slowly combined under the influence of a strange force field, forming batches of tiny robots.
Tiny robots, almost invisible to the naked eye, emerged from the printed area, like a school of newly hatched fish, floating slowly in the air.
Yun Xiaoxiao controlled the Nanorobots, guiding them to an open space nearby. Within a few dozen seconds, a Small Mech appeared in front of everyone. The mecha was only half a person's height, with a silver-white outer shell that matched Yun Xiaoxiao's body color.
Yun Xiaoxiao jumped in decisively, adjusted herself for a moment, and said:
"The technology of the late Information Age can fully support the massive, automated expansion of machinery throughout the galaxy. Intelligent machinery alone could develop all the planets in the galaxy... You are useless!"
Yun Xiaoxiao paused and thought for a while:
"No, you have been liberated, and you have even achieved a class leap, directly jumping from the slave class to the proletariat."
Those who had helped carry bricks for ten days back in their hometown. "..."
This is truly outrageous. They weren't eliminated by the industrial system they themselves helped upgrade, but by the sudden influx of advanced information technology. All their previous efforts were utterly useless.
Xi Ji thought for a moment, then retrieved his nuclear fusion device, stored it in his System Space, and planned to take it back as a collectible.
"So what's the next step? The environment of the Land of Darkness is unique, and these machines all need to be imbued with Mana."
Yun Xiaoxiao waved her hand:
"No need to worry. The Suguang Civilization has always been a hybrid civilization, and its technology is naturally capable of being used in the Land of Darkness. It's just that the [Electromagnetic Force Field Printer] can't print there."
"Once I've expanded the basic industrial chain, and based on the technical blueprints, I'll manually build the Mana enhanced small Machine Tool, which you can then transport back to the Land of Darkness. After that, we can try operating Warships."
Land of Darkness? Sailing Warship?
Everyone was a little confused.
"What is the approximate strength of the Warship? How long will it take to set sail?" someone asked.
Yun Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and gave a specific answer, "The Land of Darkness can produce a bunch of Small Warships within a month. They are specially customized models that can travel quickly across planetary surfaces, accelerating to speeds up to a thousand times the speed of sound. They also have various energy weapons, mainly with high attack power. In terms of combat strength, if a powerful individual with a Main Attribute of 22 doesn't know the Warships ' capabilities and stats, they would most likely be killed... I haven't calculated the combined combat power of the fleet."
This answer sent a chill down everyone's spine, highlighting the significant contribution to global warming in their hometown.
Main Attribute 22 is a level that most Survivors can't even dream of reaching. A Small Warship can kill a powerhouse of that level. If they could send out a fleet, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they want?
Yun Xiaoxiao ignored their shock; her attention had already drifted to something far away.
Due to environmental and teleportation limitations, the Land of Darkness certainly can't reap all the benefits of the [Electromagnetic Force Field Printer]. But home is different; there are no such distractions here.
She, Yun Xiaoxiao, will soon be able to pilot Capital Ship and enjoy the computers that are spread throughout the entire galaxy!
Yun Xiaoxiao gazed intently at the bright Fixed Star in the sky.
After the industrial system is fully upgraded, she can try to replicate the [Wall of Infinity]. Su Luo acquired some of the technology for the [Wall of Infinity] from Yuncang No. 0.
That was the pinnacle of Yuncang Civilization's technology, a Super Array composed of countless computing nodes, spanning Fixed Star system and possessing almost limitless computing power.
Fixed Star energy is the destiny of all aspiring artificial intelligence, a catalyst for evolution, and a cradle of wisdom.
"Yun Xiaoxiao, Yun Xiaoxiao?"
Xi Ji called out twice, watched Yun Xiaoxiao staring at the Sun with a silly grin, sighed, took a puff of his e-cigarette, and said to those around him:
"Alright, we're not really needed back home anymore. We'll leave a small team to monitor things and communicate with that Space Talent user. Everyone go back and prepare well. With the increased number of slots for the Trait Dungeon, we all have a chance."
Everyone nodded. They had originally been sent to their hometown to work on infrastructure projects, and now that the projects no longer needed them, it was natural for them to go back to their main tasks.
"Alright, I need to go back and prepare for the Trait Dungeon. According to the organization's strength model, my strength is around ten thousandth in the world. I plan to enter the Dungeon in about ten days." Jun Lebao raised his hand and stretched.
For these Survivors who have reached the 20- Attribute limit and significantly improved their overall strength, all they need to do is follow the strength assessment provided by the Mutual Aid Association, enter the Trait Dungeon at the designated time, and break through step by step.
The next period will be their most comfortable time; they only need to hone their skills, digest the gains from the Continued Battles, and wait.
"Hey Captain, why have you switched to e-cigarettes? Have you become Reformists?"
Jun Lebao asked.
He remembered that Xi Ji a heavy smoker; he used to smoke like crazy during battles and liked to spread cigarettes.
"Times are changing, kid." Xi Ji waved his pipe.
"This was custom-made for me by our civilization; it features Neural Simulation and even advanced technology. It's a hundred times more potent than traditional cigarettes."
"So convenient," Jun Lebao exclaimed, then continued, "By the way, don't you think vaping is like sucking on a robot? So absurd."
Everyone: "..."
Xi Ji: "..."
Yun Xiaoxiao, who was listening in. "..."
Humanity is doomed.
