As Li Xingkong walked towards the identified buildings, his Divine Sense was constantly active, monitoring the surrounding area for any survivors.
As it turns out, while the Snail People do possess some ability to modify things, it's not much. Their Divine Sense swept across most of the planet, but they didn't find a single living creature.
Arriving at the special building detected by his Divine Sense, Li Xingkong activated his magic Magic Power to restore the building's remains.
Some of the wreckage had been scattered to who-knows-where, and Li Xingkong couldn't find them all at once. Fortunately, his intention wasn't to restore the building, but rather to find some usable spoils within it.
The restored building has risen again, but it doesn't look as magnificent as it used to be. There are gaps everywhere, as if it had been bitten by something.
Li Xingkong entered the building's interior, where a large number of electronic devices had been smashed, were smoking and on fire, and sparks were flying everywhere. At first glance, very few of them were still usable.
These electronic devices are completely different from those in Divine Land, both in terms of principles and technology. Li Xingkong could not possibly master their repair methods in a short period of time.
Fortunately, although electronic devices can no longer access the materials, there are still many paper copies available.
His Divine Sense swept across the entire building, and all the paper materials inside flew to Li Xingkong's side under the guidance of his Divine Sense.
The Hexagram began, and under the influence of Divine Sense, the chaotic paper materials began to organize themselves according to the page numbers. Even the torn pieces of paper began to stick back together according to the fit of the texture.
Before long, stacks of complete documents were piled up in front of Li Xingkong.
Although he didn't recognize the Snail People's writing, he still had his Xiaowo in his hand.
Although Li Xingkong's attack dealt a deep blow to this guy, since he was a spirit of a weapon and had little ability to resist, he naturally couldn't cause any trouble.
Besides, even when it was Snail People, it wasn't qualified to set foot on this core planet. Now, following Li Xingkong, it's swaggering in all the time.
Those deeply affected by this experience inevitably feel a sense of the impermanence of life.
Of course, Li Xingkong didn't expect it to be a translator; that wouldn't be much faster.
The Divine Sense entered its nervous system and read all the Snail People characters it recognized from the Xiaowo's brain.
The next second, Li Xingkong also became a language master of the Snail People.
Having resolved the text issue, Li Xingkong then turned his attention to the documents.
Notice Regarding Adjustments to the Population Size of Subordinate Ethnic Groups
Minutes of the 13th Plenary Conference of Intelligent Brain
Li Xingkong read through the documents in his hands one by one. Most of them were meaningless, as he could tell just by looking at the title.
In Li Xingkong's view, 90% of the documents were completely useless. Li Xingkong had basically dismantled the entire planet, so what was the point of these policy documents?
After sorting through numerous documents, Li Xingkong could only find a few thin sheets that he found useful.
One document contained information about the locations of research institutions and databases across the planet, while the other contained a file about the Snail People. However, the "top secret" label on these documents piqued Li Xingkong's interest.
We will definitely visit research institutions, but we have plenty of time and there's no rush.
Li Xingkong first looked at another document.
Requirements and Processes for Advancing to the Level of Intelligent Brain
After quickly skimming through the document, Li Xingkong raised an eyebrow.
These snails are really playing around.
He originally thought that the Intelligent Brain on the Snail People's Planet were products of technology, something like artificial intelligence.
However, judging from this document, this Intelligent Brain is not an artificial intelligence, but rather an advancement of the Snail People.
First, one must be a citizen of the highest rank. Second, one must have worked in the Snail People's political system for a certain number of years. After meeting these two conditions, when one's physical condition begins to decline and life begins to come to an end, one can apply for promotion to the Intelligent Brain.
The so-called promotion is the transfer of an individual's consciousness into a corresponding device, thereby realizing the transformation from a human to an intelligent machine.
Of course, this transformation came at a cost. The extremely high failure rate and the high maintenance costs of the Intelligent Brain made the Snail People strictly control the number of Intelligent Brain.
Within this system, the true leaders of the Snail People have long since evolved into various Intelligent Brain.
This is also why, in the Snail People's civilization, the Intelligent Brain can disregard ordinary citizens and possess the highest authority.
According to the document, among all the Intelligent Brain, there is a boss whose name is Overlord.
All Intelligent Brain are transformed under its guidance; in terms of computing power and permissions, all other Intelligent Brain are a level below it.
And the location of this Overlord is precisely on this planet.
Although his fate is unknown, Li Xingkong has to go and see this thing, as the supreme leader behind the entire civilization.
The Overlord's location is on the equator of this planet, and the Intelligent Brain on most of the Snail People's planets is also located in this area.
When Li Xingkong arrived near the equator, he saw a long metal building spanning east to west, extending to both sides. On one side of this building, there was an even taller structure, resembling a beacon tower on the Great Wall.
This building was quite unique, and Li Xingkong quickly arrived at its foot.
My move just now caused considerable damage to the building; a lot of metal was bent, and many of the internal wirings were broken.
The exterior of the beacon tower-like building was also badly damaged, but fortunately, it still retained a largely intact shell.
The building's main door was already deformed and could not be opened, so Li Xingkong had to make a random opening in the wall and go inside.
The interior of the building was pitch black, with a large number of machines flying around everywhere, some even stuck in the walls.
Using his Magic Power, Li Xingkong unleashed a sliver of light that illuminated the entire building, revealing a massive sphere, over ten meters wide and tall, suspended in the center.
The internal structure of the sphere looks just like a brain, giving it the feel of a bio-modified organism.
Looking around, I saw that all the wiring connecting the large sphere to the surrounding facilities had been torn apart, and an unknown liquid was slowly flowing out of these wires. Because of the missing wiring, the large sphere was not emitting any light and was not in a conscious state.
This thing must be what's called the Overlord.
Li Xingkong reached out and grabbed a wire. This wire was completely different from the power lines and transmission lines in Divine Land. It was more like the human nervous system, and it felt like a biological material to the touch.
Li Xingkong gathered up all the connected and broken lines, used Magic Power Magic Power to simulate the corresponding interfaces of the lines, and then connected them back together.
Then Li Xingkong slowly channeled his Magic Power, using Magic Power as an energy source, into the body of this large sphere.
As Magic Power flowed in, the large sphere slowly began to glow faintly, and strange formulas appeared on its surface.
After about 5 minutes, the large sphere finally lit up and then began its self-check.
