If High Engineer had still been grinning from ear to ear and heartsick with infatuation when he came to pick up Director Du, then—
the moment he heard "Mechanical Revolution," his face turned into the same meme as Bu Jingyun's—
Don't come any closer!!!
The first Mechanical Revolution was the "Mainframe," the second was the "Machine Intelligence Crisis," and the third was the "Mechanical Cage." Why had they all come rolling in at once?!
The odds were a hundred times higher than those of an ordinary mechanical civilization.
Du Zhaodi looked at High Engineer in surprise, as if to say, So you know about the Mechanical Cage too.
But she said nothing and continued making arrangements:
"My consciousness must have developed a problem. Later, transmit him and me into the 'Civilization Tombstone.' Once we're inside, keep contacting the others and continue with our 'Brain Cage Project.'"
Du Zhaodi went on to make quite a few arrangements concerning the "details of the plan," including "repairing stellar-level neural impulses," "reconstructing the folds of the brain's dimensions," "repairing the probabilistic consciousness generator," and so on.
High Engineer had heard of everything involved. They were all first-rate technologies.
Although third-rate technology was not enough to pursue "immortality," High Engineer understood why her level had risen so quickly when he heard her casually mentioning fourth-rate modifications at every turn.
From a mechanic's perspective, she was basically farming boss monsters.
After finishing her instructions, Du Zhaodi looked at him again. "Let's go. I'll explain everything on the way."
"Has your consciousness recovered?"
"Mm. The Mechanical Cage works very well."
"..."
The corner of High Engineer's eye twitched. Could our faction be getting another leader of the Mechanical Revolution?
He only had two eyes. He couldn't keep watch over three people!
"Mecha Frenzy" wrapped around the two
