Mechanical Mystery, core industrial area.

Dozens of towering chimneys are like tightly arranged towers, gray-white smoke emerges from the top of their heads and quickly dissipates into the air.

It is clearly a heavy industrial area, a concentrated treatment area for countless ores and energy, but it rarely has many odors. The smoke coming out of the chimneys is like pure water vapor. Even if you take a deep breath here, there will be no heavy smoke smell.

Of course, the powerful energy barriers all over the surrounding area have shaped the entire core industrial area into the highest level of life. Not to mention the infiltration of intelligent creatures, even a mosquito or a swift that accidentally breaks into will be identified by the barrier in an instant and then killed instantly.

Apart from the reactors that roar from time to time, the entire industrial area is left with only the steaming heat and howling wind, and there is no trace of life.

The two undetectable footsteps broke the original silence.

"The third report - the energy stones from Maran arrived at the screening department yesterday and are expected to be put into use tomorrow as soon as possible. The number of this batch of energy stones is extremely considerable. According to precise calculations, it is enough to complete the restoration of 283 bodies--"

A hoarse voice with a slightly metallic texture sounded from the square head and brain, slightly behind half a body, and a "male" with a face with a distinct metallic color on her face.

This kind of mechanical clan with appearance is basically the style of the 743rd generation version 120 years ago. It is now relatively rare, so it can only be estimated that this mechanical clan has existed for more than fifty years. As for how long it has been "living", it may only be known by himself and the "workers" who forged him back then.

In front of this mechanical tribe, which can only be considered to be medium and backward at most, is a strange man wearing a purple jacket and a slightly bloated figure. Compared to the dwarf, it looks more like a strange man who is forced to "short" by the human tribe.

His left half of his face was completely silver, and his mechanical eyeballs were blushing red, looking like the image of a big bad guy hidden in a fairy tale, often hitting the protagonist.

However, the other half of the man's face is a perfect man with light brown skin, no different from ordinary people.

When the two faces are combined, not only does not have any incomplete beauty that has just become popular recently, but it will also deepen the chilling fear. Just looking at it makes people dare not look at him.

"Mozafi, how many times have I told you that I have to correct the wrong and mechanical pronunciation. This kind of dialogue that is simple but lacks emotional tone has been eliminated by history."

The mechanical tribe, known as Mozafi, tilted his head and his square lips trembled slightly, looking like he was about to make a smile. In the end, it seemed that he could not complete it because of a mistake in mobilizing the "muscle" on his face.

Finally, he could only answer expressionlessly: "Gaz, as a mechanical clan, is there anything wrong with the expression and language that looks mechanical?"

"No-How can I explain to make your iron head open?"

Ghaz rubbed the soft metallic silver hair and sighed with headache: "I have to face you idiots every day. I feel like my mental state is going to be wrong... If it weren't for the lack of energy, I would have replaced all my similar types with the latest memory chips, so that I would no longer have to endure this inhuman pain!"

"Protest - Ghaz's words have errata, and the description of 'non-human' should not be used in our mechanical life..."

"Enough, you can shut up."

Gaz sighed, not wanting to talk nonsense with this stupid head who could not correct it any longer. His eyes slowly drifted over the towering chimney, looking at the smoke that was almost engaging with the white clouds, his eyes were a little stunned.

He seemed to suddenly remember something and muttered, "'Chi Xiaoli'... I don't know what the name means? Even the 'master brain' was unable to give a reasonable explanation, just like a life that did not exist in this world... What does he have to do with us?"

I thought of the sudden abnormality of the "main brain" a few days ago. It was a system error that had never been reported before. It usually only appears on the mechanical race with relatively low body versions, which means that the thinking logic has fallen into a irreparable vicious cycle.

But the "main brain" almost condenses the core of the mechanical magic technology for tens of millions of years. Not only does it have thousands of self-aware bodies jointly built and improved, but it can also complete independent learning through feedback and reactions.

This learning ability is an epoch-making new magic technology. It can be said that from the moment the "main brain" was born, the energy depletion problem that plagued the mechanical race for thousands of years finally had a new solution.

In the past, each mechanical family was a separate individual. Once the body was damaged and wanted to be "reborn", it had to back up in advance, or collect and save the good data, and then place it in a brand new body.

However, this method is accompanied by extremely serious energy waste, because each generation and every body consumes a lot of energy stones, and once it is damaged again, even if the previous energy is considerable, it will still not be recycled.

However, after the "main brain" appears, through independent learning ability, the optimal solution strategy can be automatically found on the original basis, and long-term data habits can be recorded, so as to correct it in order to avoid making the same mistake again next time.

Self-learning can be said to be a once-for-all solution, greatly alleviating the pressure of lack of energy stones in the mechanical family.

The "main brain" itself will automatically upgrade in the process of continuous learning and eventually feed back to all connected individuals.

However, there were actually two completely different paths in the original plan for the great epoch-making concept of "main brain".

As the earliest proposer of this project, after having a disagreement with another proposer, his brother, Ghaz went away from the Babu continent in anger. He eventually went through a series of events and became a well-known explorer, and finally settled in Voodoo Forest.

When the project was first implemented, Gaz had already realized that once the "main brain" completes its fully autonomous learning ability in the future, it is likely to be completely sublimated one day and become an existence that surpasses all mechanical life.

At that time, perhaps all mechanical races will be connected into one, and through the "main brain" transit station, the thinking will be assigned to individuals separately.

In this way, the mechanical race will become "in name only", and individuals who seem to have hundreds of millions of memories will eventually become "one person".

Although this phenomenon will eliminate all "unusual" sounds in the short term, as time continues, it will definitely do more harm than good.

The laws of nature for countless years have long proved that once a race loses its diversity and "creativeness", it is not far from destruction.

Ghaz's brother, Murphy, who had been rebuilt by the "traitor" Gains more than half a year ago, fully upholds the opposite opinion.

He believes that the mechanical race has essential differences from other life, and the "laws" necessary for other species may not apply to the mechanical race.

Nowadays, the mechanical race is facing the problem of energy scarcity. If no changes are made, the only thing waiting for them is destruction.

But Gaz was too idealistic and even proposed the whimsical idea of ​​"making every mechanical race have a unique feeling". It not only wastes a lot of resources, but ultimately it is likely to add huge instability to the originally stable mechanical race society.

Because when "personality" is highlighted, it means that everyone begins to have their own ideas, which will gradually disintegrate the originally united collective.

Until today, Ghaz didn't know why after he left, Murphy changed his previous stubbornness and gave those sisters the "emotions" that can be called life.

Perhaps it was the brother who was not too stupid that had a premonition that something was wrong before Gaines showed his fangs? Or maybe he finally convinced himself and agreed with his brother's point of view?

The truth has long dissipated in the long river of time with the return of both parties. Unless someone can reverse time and space and return to the past, this will become an eternal mystery.

But no matter what the process was, Murphy finally made the most correct decision, and he almost lost the opportunity to create history and change the fate of the mechanical race.

"Is this 'sadness'... it's really a bit at a loss."

Not long ago, he just implanted the "emotional" system. Gaz can already provide feedback on various slight emotional changes, especially when he accidentally thought of his brother, the slightest depression and regret flashing in his heart. Although it made him a little "discomfortable", this feeling is as memorable as motor oil.

"Gaz, I detected a brief fluctuation in your energy signal. Do you need to conduct a comprehensive inspection--"

Mozafi had to say the last few words, but he was pinched by Gaz's thick and powerful hands, and suddenly he could only make some slightly funny noises.

"A strong fluctuation is detected and comprehensive testing is required-"

Gaz frowned and looked at his right hand subconsciously. As a result, he saw Mozafi looking at him with a blank look on his face. It was half a beat late before he suddenly realized.

"It's the warning of the 'master brain'!"

It seemed that after having emotions, even his reaction became a little slower... Gaz was ashamed and angry that he thought his subordinates had vented his dissatisfaction through amplification, but this emotion was quickly suppressed by him and turned into a rapid jet.

Pulling Mozafi through the layers of levels, Gaz finally stopped in front of a very ordinary-looking pine tree.

He quickly walked to the trunk of the tree less than three meters around, and gently pressed his fingers forward.

The air suddenly rippled, and a square button appeared on the trunk, slowly sank inward. The pine tree itself was also retreating, and finally accompanied by a very vivid female voice, revealing the hole that was originally hiding under the magic circle.

"Welcome to you, Mr. Ghaz."

A figure of an elf girl with green hair and green eyes appeared above the cave, and nodded at Gaz with a smile.

If Lily was here, she would be surprised to find that the influence of this virtual girl was 90% similar to Yiyi. The only difference was that the virtual image was slightly shorter, and it seemed to be deliberately small to meet the size of the entire pine tree.

"What's wrong with the master's brain?" Gaz asked with a serious expression.

Because he was inspecting the core area, Gaz was the first to arrive among the people with authority to participate in the maintenance of the "main brain". Just after the question was asked, a few seconds later, other "buzzing" sounds sounded from the rear, from far to near.

"Not long ago, the 'main brain' captured an abnormal fluctuation, and then some areas of the functions stopped."

The virtual image's bright and bright smile just now turned into a low sob, and said sadly: "The specific reason is unknown. In short, the 'main brain' has temporarily stopped operating in order to protect other areas. According to the combined operation of other individuals, we can only roughly guess the cause of the abnormality, which is... an accident occurred in the 'Zero Machine'."

"'Machine Zero'? What the hell is that girl doing!"

Gaz roared a rare roar, and even he himself didn't know why he was so thrust at that time and agreed to the crusade team's request to join.

Now the most critical thing among sister machines is that Yiyi, who is the key to the "main brain", has problems, which directly leads to extremely serious consequences.

If the "master brain" is damaged by irreparable damage, then the efforts he, Murphy and other seniors who once had similar ideas will be wasted over the past thousand years.

"Take me to see what's going on now! Repairman, come in with me!"

For some reason, Gaz became extremely irritable. He stepped into a black hole that looked only one person in diameter, and his whole body disappeared from the spot in an instant.

After 0:00 a second, he appeared in an environment full of darkness, only a few dozen meters away from him, a "streamline" composed of countless faint light drifted.

These streamlines are winding and twisting, some overlapping and converging, while others run side by side to form a "**".

These lines generally look like the brains of other organic living organisms.

This is the most secret place in the entire mechanical clan - the "main brain" space.

Gaz focused on staring at the extremely slow-moving lines, trying to find clues about the Zero machine from these blocked information flows.

However, even if it is just a light belt, the information contained in it has reached an extremely terrifying level, because the most comprehensive content of the mechanical race in millions of years has accumulated here. It is simply difficult to find abnormal points from it.

After only looking at it for a while, the individual material can only be considered to be the upper-middle Ghaz, and he felt dizzy and his head buzzed, as if it could explode at any time.

"Chi Xiaoli... must be related to the disappeared guy..."

Just as Gaz kept yelling in his heart.

No one can detect energy fluctuations above the main brain, nor can anyone see the position.
