On the way to Mingge Mountain, acid rain fell. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a huge acid storm. The strong wind passed through the mountains and forests, making an extremely harsh sound. The sky turned yellow and clear, as if coming to an alien planet. The clouds and mist were shrouded in pressure.
It was very low, reminiscent of an apocalyptic situation, and there were lightning and thunder in the sky, adding a bit of a terrifying atmosphere.
Xu Yang piloted the Anonymous. It was like a black crow flying through the air. It was difficult to see its track clearly from a distance, and it passed through the sky silently. Faced with the approaching meteorological disaster, he lowered the shuttle in time.
, find the nearest market town, book a room, and stay in a family hotel.
He left the anonymous number in the parking lot outside the hotel, drove it under the dark gray awning, and then helped Farosha down. There were several dirty and cheap electric cars scattered next to it, near the exit of the parking lot.
There is also a van with a white aluminum shell.
As soon as Xu Yang entered the hotel, a young man stood up from behind the counter and greeted them with a smile. They were obviously not regular travelers. Both Xu Yang and Falosa were wearing thick disguises, but it was impossible to treat them these days.
Guests are very picky about their luggage.
Next to the man was a monkey wearing a red nylon fiber spacesuit. Farosha didn't like monkeys, but it looked polite. It stood on the counter and pretended to bow to Farosha and Xu Yang, but because
Falosa carried a dangerous aura, and the monkey did not dare to get close at all. It shrank back and jumped behind the counter.
"I want to make it smarter and implant it with a human intelligent brain prosthesis." The man looked at the monkey, then took out the black plastic room card from the counter and handed it to them, "Would you like to help?
?gentlemen?"
"Thank you, we don't have much luggage." Xu Yang nodded to him and the monkey, declining the extra help.
He carried a large box into the reserved room, followed closely by Falosa. Almost the moment they crossed the threshold, the acid rain storm started, and the howling rain sounded densely, like tens of millions of people.
If a heavy metal band is exposed to such heavy rain, their skin will be ablated quickly.
Xu Yang turned on the automatic coffee machine, filled it with coffee powder sent by the hotel, started it, then walked to the window and cast his eyes on the rolling hills in the distance.
Mingge Mountain can already be seen from here, which is their destination. Most of the mountain area has been eroded by acid rain, and large areas of plants have died. Since the trees have been destroyed, mudslides and landslides are inevitable. The two interact with each other.
, and aggravated the degree of soil and water degradation. It seemed as if a huge shovel had dug away all the green along the slope, leaving only the mottled brown mountain.
The environment is not livable, and people have to move to relatively stable towns and cities. Local residents do not have enough funds to manage the environment, and they do not have the influence to shut down heavy industries, various factories and companies that continue to damage the environment.
Assets were driven into the area around Mingka Mountain like nails. Only the Tsukozakura Shrine enshrined by Kirino Reiyo was not affected.
Xu Yang checked the cameras and bugs in the room, as well as all the electronic equipment provided in advance, and then changed to Falosa to stand by the window.
"The world is ruined," she said.
"Is there any hope of recovery?" Xu Yang thought.
"The Lord of the Forest." Falosa looked at the destroyed greenery, and the outside world was shrouded in endless acidic clouds. "If we bring the Lord of the Forest back, he can re-pave the islands with green."
"According to the laws of conservation of matter and equivalent exchange," Xu Yang speculated, "it should also ask for something."
"Of course, it needs followers and people to turn into tree monsters to support its eternal green." Falosa chuckled, thinking about Masato Nohara again.
"This is not a problem," Xu Yang nodded. "If we can bring the Lord of the Forest, enthusiastic animal protection organizations from all over the world, including the Environmental Protection Federation, will also come here."
After checking the equipment, Falosa found a comfortable position to lie down, and turned on the smart screen wall in the room. The entire wall-mounted screen changed color, reflecting the scene of the dome battle ceremony.
"I don't think it's as good as the Witch Fighting Tournament." Falosa said, "Why not gather all the beautiful witches for a fight?"
"It's a matter of acceptance." Xu Yang thought for a moment, "Witch fighting only sounds interesting. Once they are beaten black and blue, or cut into pieces, the scene will be ugly. Relatively speaking, the robots are beaten to the point where they are full of fun.
The ground parts are sparking all over the body, but everyone is more tolerable."
"We have to talk to our gladiator." Farosha saw that the match between A40 and Black Storm was not far away.
Xu Yang entered the covert communication mode and contacted A40. It had arrived at the Dome Arena and was making final preparations before the battle. Xu Yang transferred the video signal to the curtain wall so that Falosa could also see it. She was lying down.
On the double bed covered with white sheets, the A40 felt to her like a metal golem that wizards would create, but more intelligent.
Falosa has a very ambivalent attitude towards synthetic technology. On the one hand, she needs these precision-programmed servants, but on the other hand, she feels that their intelligence is too high. The first and second generation synthetics are not yet acceptable to her.
Within the scope of the invention, third-generation synthetics that can continuously learn and evolve, such as A40 and Miying, seem somewhat incompetent. Even the smart monkey raised by the hotel owner is more pleasing to the eye than the synthetics.
"How are you prepared?" Xu Yang observed A40.
From the appearance, he is still a low-key young man, with precision machinery installed all over his body. Instead of wearing the previous Ronin jacket, he wears a light vest made of Kevlar, which not only improves the protection, but also travels as lightly as possible.
.
"In terms of martial arts," A40 said, "I have reached the first-class level, but I have not completed all aspects of practice, so I cannot be called a master. Compared with a master who has truly entered the martial arts and has superb skills, I am even weaker...
…But I’ll do my best.”
"I believe you." Xu Yang nodded, "You haven't let us down yet."
"There is something I want you to see." A40 sent a picture.
Xu Yang opened it, and it turned out to be a black and white pixel picture, like a highly distorted camera, depicting a wasp looking back and smiling. It was drawn from the perspective of the A40, so you can see how she is holding the A40's hand.
How to turn around, showing an excited smile, holding ice cream in the other hand.
"This is..." Xu Yang couldn't see the clue.
"The electronic dream I have." A40 said, "If human dreams are the chaotic reorganization of information in the subconscious, my dreams are the distorted presentation of disk fragments. Some things have been deleted by me, but I can't delete them no matter what.
, but, who is this?"
"I will tell you when you win and advance to the top 16." Xu Yang nodded.
A40 solemnly fell on the ground and bowed deeply to Xu Yang.
"Thank you for giving me such an opportunity," it said, "for giving me a chance to prove myself and a chance to fight to my heart's content. During this period of time, I have made rapid progress in my martial arts attainments, more than ever before.
All quickly. If synthetics have a fate like humans, then the Dome Battle Ceremony is indeed my fate! I will try my best to win the championship. This matter is inevitable."
"Go." Xu Yang saw that it was almost time.
He switched back to the dome event. The last game had ended, and the game between A40 and Black Storm began immediately. After updating the advertisement, Black Storm's manufacturer "Westwind Industries" officially promoted their latest alloy patent, which is called
"Magic Steel" is forged using the latest generation smelting process. The chief smelting witch of the company's R&D department personally injected magic power into it. It is magic steel shaped by magic power. It has a fatal cutting effect on any form of armor. This is also
Why was the black storm able to easily defeat the female knight wearing dragon bone armor in the last round?
The black storm rolled onto the field in the form of a mechanical ball. It looked like a top standing on one leg and had a total of 12 arms. A "magic steel" blade was installed on each arm. When it rotated slightly, the blade reflected
The light from different angles is truly dazzling.
A40 entered the scene carrying a promotional video from Tanaka Intelligent Company. It pressed its hand on the angry blade, pointed the tip of the blade forward, drew its elbow in, and moved its steps forward and back, creating a posture that combined defense with offense.
"Only cold weapons can be used, long-range means cannot be used, and there are no other rules," the electronic referee in the stadium introduced neatly, and then waved his knife forcefully, "Let the battle begin!"
Falosa sat up, holding coffee, and stared at every detail of the battle. She felt like she had really become a noble of the ancient Latium Empire, watching the gladiators go and bleed as much as they wanted.
"We must win!"
"For our money!"
"Come on! Come on!" In the live broadcast room, tens of thousands of viewers who had lost a lot in the previous bet, out of a strong desire for revenge, now stood on the side of A40, and many people put their last net worth.
The pressure is on A40, hoping that it will win quickly and restore their funds. As long as A40 wins, they will immediately become loyal fans of A40.
"A40 will win." Ye Zi said confidently to the other female companions and family members around him in the VIP box.
"A40..." In the distant Bibo City, the hornet stared at the scene on the field and held her breath. If A40 kept winning and won the championship all the way, she would undoubtedly regain her passion for life and find her place in this crazy world.
.
Various high-tech companies in Taixizhou and many research institutes in Kyoto Infinite are now focusing on this high-standard robot showdown. The winning side represents the development direction of future combat robots and also means more advanced robots.
Science and production technology.
——Start the war!
The black storm rotated all its mechanical arms and turned into a high-speed rotating death whirlwind. It quickly cut towards the A40, making bursts of piercing buzzing on the moving road. Its body operated extremely fast and made complex movements.
, it should have self-disintegrated during high-speed travel, but every component of Black Storm has been precisely fitted, leaving no flaws and providing extremely high stability.
Facing its unstoppable collision, the A40 jumped forward and quickly slashed out! Actively choose to fight!
