Machine Generation (Part Two)

In the extremely cold environment, all of the stealth aircraft's systems failed, yet this multi-purpose aircraft remained suspended in the air and did not plunge down.

The only reason is that the entire machine seems to have become a nuclear explosion center, and the energy storage system is about to explode.

Kinetic energy is generally equated with thermal energy, but few people know that the energy of frozen food can also be a form of kinetic energy.

For example, some frozen cosmic rays, space energy, and dark matter all exhibit extremely low temperatures.

At this temperature, even nanoparticles that are invisible to the naked eye and difficult to see with a microscope are suspended in the air.

In the perception of the model lake, they seemed to present a 'four-legged form'.

Nanobeasts?

In the standards of the mother city, a level 4 mechanical mainframe is roughly equivalent to a level 80 boss. In a real fight, a senior engineer would most likely lose, but if he wanted to run, the opponent would most likely be unable to catch him.

"It seems you held back when you fought against the Fifth Generation Miller," the senior engineer chuckled strangely, "Or perhaps, the you who fought against the Cloud Nobles was only half of yourself?"

Upon hearing this, the usually assertive and domineering Ji Dai finally showed a hint of hesitation.

"What do you know?"

"One body, two machines, it's quite remarkable that you've managed to hold on until now, but I'm afraid you can't hold on any longer."

"Moral chips and moral complements are less the will of the company and more your will, or rather, the will of another generation."

How did you know?

Is this the proper attitude when asking someone for advice?

The dense network of mechanical eyes and ears had completely blocked the stealth aircraft, while on the ground, some enormous mechanical bodies emerged from the sulfuric acid river. These mechanical bodies were not much smaller than large robots, and even had stronger firepower.

This is another mechanical city, the heavy machinery legion of the "City of Sin".

In other words, the machine, as a single mastermind, effectively controls two mechanical legions and even two mechanical cities.

This is the key to its becoming a Level 4 mastermind.

As for why the senior engineer knew this...

Of course he's seen the expansion pack.

Although the beast tide was the final straw that broke the camel's back for "Never-Sleeping City".

However, according to footage from the expansion pack, the City of Nevers was already in chaos before the beast tide arrived, with a large influx of citizens from the crime-ridden city turning the city upside down.

The machine-to-machine confrontation resulted in an undefended beast tide, and then everyone was overwhelmed by the beasts.

According to the corporate understanding of some artistic enthusiasts, the chaos of human nature, being devoured by bestiality, is both accidental and inevitable.

Judging from the timeline, this expansion pack will be the first expansion pack for the planet Machine Rift.

Seeing that Dai remained silent, the senior engineer smiled and said, "Perhaps you can also try to see if you can survive long enough to capture me and then extract my memories."

In the end, the machine compromised, or rather, compromised halfway. The ice began to crack, and wisps of cold air began to rise, eventually transforming into a three-meter-tall woman with an indistinct face.

Like you, Madam Eight Feet Tall!

Although her face was not clearly visible, the senior engineer could still tell her bust size at a glance—it was unfathomable!

The other party's behavior seemed to be saying, "Don't think that just because you created a 'nuclear winter,' I can't do anything to you."

While I was playing with energy, you were still drinking milk.

The senior engineer didn't mind, plopped down, glanced at the somewhat bewildered Chapai, and smiled, "Where to begin? Let's start from when you devoured the mechanical mainframe of the Crime City."

"The Guanzhong region originally had two mechanical cities, one called Wuri City and the other called Everlasting City. The two mechanical cities were in a state of confrontation for a long time. After all, there are only so many resources on a continent. If you take a bite more, I will take a bite less."

"Among them, the businesses in Wuri City developed faster and were the first to conduct group experiments, but they were not moral experiments, but criminal experiments."

"The experiment was of course a failure. The companies withdrew, the mainframe was severely damaged, a large amount of population data was lost, and even the City of No Sun was stripped of its mechanical city designation, becoming a complete lawless place and a crime capital."

"But there are many explanations for why it failed. Some say that the failure rate of such group experiments is naturally high and failure is normal. Some say that a powerful enemy suddenly appeared during the experiment and interfered with the process. Others say that you secretly attacked and severely damaged the brain of the City Lord of No Sun, and took the opportunity to absorb its power."

"At this point, the third possibility seems most likely."

"Over the years, you have been digesting the massive amounts of data from another mainframe, but due to indigestion, a second personality was born."

"It is an incredible thing for a large AI like yours to give birth to a virtual personality. Once it happens, the mother city will definitely come to investigate, and once it is exposed, 'data erasure' will be inevitable."

"So you've been hiding it all along, trying to figure out how to process this personality."

"But you didn't expect that this personality emerged earlier than you thought, and even secretly nurtured a person, who is the founder of the former Wonderful Interconnect and now the CEO of Unreal Alliance - Hugh Laurie."

"But once the moral chip is implemented, you only then realize this person's existence, or even the existence of another machine, but unfortunately, it's too late!"

"The true target of the moral chip isn't the residents of the City That Never Sleeps, it's you!"

The senior engineer glanced at the dumbfounded Cha Pai.

Am I right?

"You still haven't said how you knew?" Ji Dai asked calmly.

"Don't rush, the story isn't over yet. At the beginning of this story, the main brain of the City of Never Sleeps devoured the main brain of the City of No Sun, which led to the series of events that followed."

"But the group experiment in Wuri City back then was not only about the mutual devouring between the two main brains, the accident was real, and the sudden appearance of the enemy was also real."

"This person is the most wanted criminal in Mother City—the leader of the androids, Rebel A."

"So, you only found out about this because of the Rebellion A?" The machine agent's tone was tinged with a hint of doubt, a hint of understanding, and a hint of disbelief.

"But why should A tell you?"

"Well, this one?"

The senior engineer had already reverted to "Nuclear Winter State," looked up, clicked his tongue, and the next moment, Emperor's Might was activated!

Imperial Majesty (Exclusive to the Mechanical Emperor): Powerful mechanical energy transforms into imperial pressure, commanding all machinery to its utmost respect wherever it goes, granting absolute dominion over ancient machinery.

The golden light engulfed the stealth aircraft, the mechanical eyes, burst through the "dark clouds," and even stopped the lightning that filled the sky.

"Emperor!"

!

Cha Pai now regrets it, he regrets it very much.

A mastermind that devoured the mechanical mastermind.

An ancient emperor who is suspected of colluding with the rebel A.

This is a setup to kill someone to silence them!

I wish I had just passed out!

The machine agent fell silent, but the senior engineer could sense that the mechanical eyes and ears dozens of miles away had begun to retreat, including the large underground mechanical bodies, which had also returned to the water's surface.

This means the other party believed it.

The most brilliant lies are often nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

The content of the expansion pack is all true.

As for the matter of rebellion A, the senior engineer was only half guessing.

After all, in his memory, the only person who could use nanotechnology to such a high degree was that special bionic.

If the Mother City doesn't have nanotechnology, then the Mechanical City is even less likely to have it.

As for his relationship with A, that was completely absurd.

Of course, it's not entirely nonsense, since the senior engineer didn't say anything.

As for what the machine could be associated with, to be honest, he didn't know.

We were all rebels, so perhaps we had something in common.

"So he really did find another Honkai. That's amazing," the machine agent said with a sigh.

Holy crap!

Honkai, Collapse Entity!?

If you say that, I'm no longer sleepy!

However, the senior engineer still maintained a knowing, enigmatic expression, though he secretly hoped the other person would say something more.

"So, what can you do for me?" Ji Dai's tone softened.

The senior engineer pondered for a moment before speaking, "The key isn't what I do, but rather how you intend to deal with the other machine generation—whether it's to completely destroy it, expel it, or re-integrate with it?"

"You should understand that neither you nor it has much time left."

Ji Dai said, "Since you have contact with A, he must have already told you about my situation. Go to Wuri City and retrieve that item for me."

With a "ding", the task notification sound rang out.

[Mission: The Special Little Black Box]

Difficulty: Hard+

Mission Briefing: The battle for mechs is a crossroads in the fate of the City That Never Sleeps. The choice to go left or right is up to you.

Damn, even though I'm a riddle person, I really don't know what you want me to find. Is this thing really a black box, or is "black box" just a code name?

Riddles about ourselves, machine-generated riddles, even the system itself!

As is well known, when there are three riddle solvers, the plot will freeze.

And that's exactly the situation now!

There were only three days left, and a day would pass in the blink of an eye after the round trip.

However, on the surface, the senior engineer calmly nodded.

"Now that you've made your choice, there's no problem."

Ji Dai turned his head and looked at Cha Pai, and the super-powered hacker immediately felt an overwhelming pressure. Unfortunately, it was too late to escape.

"Why don't you come and rest at my place for a bit?"

The next moment, the machine made a feint, and the investigation team vanished instantly.

Or rather, it was broken down into countless pieces of human code.

This ability to "turn reality into illusion" is truly impressive; it's no wonder it's a Level 4 mastermind.

The sales representative looked at the senior engineer. "Are you leaving now?"

After thinking for a moment, the senior engineer said, "No, I still need to go back to the city."

"That's up to you," the machine agent said calmly, then looked out the glass window. The countless mechanical eyelines had disappeared, as if the scene of rolling dark clouds just now was just an illusion.

Take care of yourself.

"Hmm?" The senior engineer sensed something was off from that tone.

As the figure of the machine began to slowly dissipate, just before it vanished, the senior engineer clearly saw the corner of the other person's mouth curl up slightly.

"But are you really sure which agent is talking to you right now?"

The senior engineer broke out in a cold sweat.
