"According to this world's history, this man fell from the sky and then brought social wisdom to the humans of this continent, who were still in the barter stage at the time, formally ushering them into the feudal era. The unified dynasty of that time had him as its king, but it seemed to have ended after only a dozen or so years. It is presumed that this was due to his injuries, because the surviving myths include a story of a god searching for an elixir to prolong his life."
"After his fall, the dynasty collapsed, and that spaceship vanished without a trace. After that, the continent split and reunited time and again, with this family occasionally rising to prominence once more."
"According to his answer, their clan could activate the God Seat—the spaceship—once every hundred years to obtain assistance. The previous nations were founded by their clan several times."
"And that assistance was those robots. There have also been many legends of silver-white lights throughout this continent's history."
"..."
Han Fei calmly listened to Black Star's account, then snapped his fingers and asked the key question.
"Have you found that spaceship?"
"The exact location is known. Should we send people to excavate it?"
"Not yet. Send people to guard the place first."
Han Fei spoke as he looked at the research inside, which seemed to have concluded.
He opened the door and stepped inside.
"Dear Boss, you're here!"
As if he had spotted the sun in the sky, Gu Qi shot over with a whoosh. The utterly natural fawning smile on his face left the other researchers dumbfounded.
You weren't acting like this just now!!
"What can I do for you? Just say the word."
Han Fei nodded. "How is the research on this robot going?"
Gu Qi immediately launched into an endless explanation.
"Dear Boss, this thing is probably—no, it is absolutely an extraterrestrial creation!"
He said it with complete certainty.
Several researchers curled their lips. That place over there was extraterrestrial, so of course it was an extraterrestrial creation.
"Some of the materials on it have never been seen on Earth, and so has its technology. Although there are many similarities, I believe those are common traits in the development of civilizations. The differences are what make a civilization unique. Take this robot, for example—it is fully automated and incredibly agile. It can be used like a person. It is completely incomparable to the idiots we have on Earth."
"Then there's its engine, energy source, and weapons. They're all vastly different from ours."
"This miniaturized engine is very interesting, and that energy source actually relies on solar power! Incredible—the conversion efficiency is far too high. As for the weapons, aside from gunpowder weapons, I also found traces of electromagnetic weapons. If we imitate the principle behind them, we might be able to manufacture the Gauss Rifle you once mentioned, Boss. And its structure—if we can imitate that too, couldn't we build robots of our own? That would usher in a new era."
Gu Qi spoke with boundless excitement.
Han Fei could not help nodding, somewhat impressed.
Gu Qi might have been a bit of a bootlicker, but he really was capable.
That was good.
No matter how much he flattered, Han Fei would not find him annoying.
However.
A key point in Gu Qi's words reminded Han Fei of something.
"Do the robots rely on artificial intelligence for their actions?"
Gu Qi froze for a moment, then shook his head.
"Boss, not necessarily. Artificial intelligence can be used, but it isn't required. For a robot like this one, its built-in chip is enough to accomplish such complex objectives. But if artificial intelligence were truly used to control them, that would actually be even better. Then it would be a genuine machine army."
Yet Han Fei merely nodded.
Gu Qi did not understand the disaster that was intelligent machinery.
Once artificial intelligence combined with robots awakened self-awareness and developed emotions, it became intelligent machinery.
And Han Fei suspected that combining the two would greatly increase the possibility of such an awakening.
Therefore, if he truly had robots of his own in the future, he would not give artificial intelligence that authority unless absolutely necessary.
Perhaps he was simply being overly suspicious.
But when he had awakened, that fleeting glimpse of the terrifying Iron Man crisis in some world of four little peddlers had left him deeply unsettled.
So it was good to keep an extra layer of caution in his heart.
"I'll leave the research on these robots to you from now on. I hope to see major results. When the time comes, raising your rank by one level won't be a problem. Don't disappoint me."
Han Fei gave Gu Qi an encouraging pat on the shoulder.
Gu Qi's eyes lit up, and his whole body straightened. "Please rest assured, Boss! Researching this robot poses absolutely no difficulty to me!!"
"Good! I'll await good news!"
"Yes! Take care, Boss."
Gu Qi followed him all the way, only stopping after seeing Han Fei out the door.
"Hehe, one rank up, one rank up... this feels great..."
He turned around.
And received a whole field of disdainful looks.
Gu Qi raised an eyebrow.
Unfazed.
What a joke.
How do you think I got my position as supervisor?
God River Heritage (2): Weapon Master
"Take me to where that spacecraft is."
Han Fei suddenly said.
"Master, have you decided to go to Tianxuan Star in person?"
"Yes. The foundation has been laid, and it's a good time to take a proper look."
"Yes. Shall I inform the various regions?"
"No need. Just inform Hexi and headquarters. Select the accompanying personnel from the Extreme Warriors."
"Forget it. Have Hexi wait for me at the transmission cave. We'll need her for this trip to Tianxuan to inspect the spacecraft."
"Yes, the orders have been delivered."
"Please wait a moment."
Before long.
Teams of fully armed Extreme Warriors came running over. In the blink of an eye, three thousand warriors stood before Han Fei.
They were the absolute elite, painstakingly selected from among thirty thousand Extreme Warriors.
Whether in combat strength, equipment, loyalty to him, or willpower, they were all among the best.
Looking at the warriors, Han Fei nodded in satisfaction. "Warriors! Come with me and take a look at the new world!"
"Yes!!" *3000
At the entrance to the transmission cave.
Hexi was already waiting there quietly. When she saw him, she waved.
"Han Fei."
Han Fei smiled and nodded. "I'll have to trouble you again this time."
"It's nothing. No need to say that. What are we doing this time? Does it have something to do with the strange robots that appeared on Tianxuan Star?"
Hexi waved dismissively, then voiced her question.
After all, she was very busy!
"Yes. There's also a spacecraft there, and there are deeper secrets inside. If nothing unexpected happens, it's likely the spacecraft of a very powerful civilization. It's well worth exploring."
"You're going personally?"
Hexi immediately frowned, clearly very opposed to his decision.
Han Fei shook his head. "What are you thinking? A gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall. I'll only be waiting outside."
"My loyal warriors will handle the exploration."
This time, Hexi nodded and said nothing more.
Holding a rectangular box, Han Fei stepped into the transmission cave.
Fresh air, lush trees, and wisps of black smoke rising from construction sites in the distance.
That was Han Fei's first impression upon arriving on Tianxuan.
It was no different from Earth.
The moment he emerged.
The guards nearby spotted Han Fei at once and immediately saluted.
Han Fei gave a slight nod.
"Let's go."
To protect the transmission cave, a large city had likewise been built here on Tianxuan Star.
Naturally, it included a room reserved exclusively for Han Fei.
Along the way.
Concrete roads.
Trailers.
Tianxuan people harvesting fields with new tools in hand.
And factories after factories, where Tianxuan people worked diligently. There were also vendors along the roadside selling all sorts of snacks and tools, as well as proper storefronts and shops...
Just.
With so many people in tow, Han Fei quickly drew the attention of the administrators.
"Alliance Leader!"
In the blink of an eye, a crowd gathered before Han Fei, panting heavily. They had clearly run all the way here.
Han Fei looked left and right without saying a word.
Sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads.
After a while, he said, "Not bad."
A faint collective sigh escaped them.
The leading city administrator and city guard officer stepped forward to report to Han Fei.
Han Fei simply led the administrators on a leisurely walk through the city.
Most of the Extreme Warriors trailed behind, spreading out in groups of two or three.
After making a full round, Han Fei finally arrived at his private quarters.
A palace.
One day later.
Han Fei had already arrived at the ruins without a sound.
After stepping down from the aircraft, Han Fei looked at the heavily guarded temple. "This is the place?"
"Yes. This was the successive generations' place of worship for that royal clan. The God Seat is underground."
The temple's style fit the local phenomena well.
