Son of the Stars

Chapter 180 Hardcore Infiltration
When S3C7 first landed on Dolly's bed, Lu Chen thought it was just some small rocks.

Its appearance has been greatly different from before. When it was at the Argentario Mountain base, S3C7 was a small construction robot that was almost scrapped. When escaping from the base, it was a "microcontroller" system in a waterproof box. Now, it is a palm-sized cube robot cluster with the "S3C7" logo written on it.

Yes, S3C7 is now a huge cluster, and every small square is S3C7, and now the "tide" falling from the sky like a waterfall is all composed of such palm-sized small squares.

Dolly, who was lying on the bed, turned her head and glanced at the overwhelming robots falling down, but she couldn't see anything because it was too dark in the room. It looked at it for a few seconds, then turned around and lay back down.

"Can this be considered a human being?" S3C7 looked at the spots on Dolly's body and her extremely special appearance, and asked herself as if she was talking to herself. The question repeated by hundreds of S3C7s quickly expanded into a storm of questions, "Can this be considered a human being?"

It's a pity that Lu Chen can't answer this question for the time being.

The moment Lu Chen zoomed in and saw S3C7, the Institute of Physics' alarm was fully activated. A loud alarm called on all staff in the institute to immediately stop the experiment, put down all their belongings, and leave the building area of ​​the Institute of Physics as soon as possible.

While calling on other experimenters and staff to evacuate, Lu Chen in the academician's office enjoyed academician-level security measures. All doors and windows were instantly sealed by alloy armor plates, and the power was switched to the internal solid-state battery supply - the carbon dioxide and harmful substance adsorption filters were fully turned on to ensure clean air in the office. Six oxygen candles protrude from the protective cabinet. As long as the oxygen content in the air drops to 19%, they will be ignited in sequence to provide a supply of pure oxygen for at least twelve hours.

With the support of armor plates and internal life-support equipment, the academician's office started "emergency evacuation" in accordance with established procedures.

The office chair Lu Chen was sitting on instantly sank under the floor, and five safety belts protruding from the floor and ceiling tied him directly to the office chair.

The moment he was tied to the seat, Lu Chen only had a few thoughts in his mind - no wonder the chairs in the academician's office are all this silly, big, black and uniform shape, no wonder the academician's office is on the top floor, no wonder... these offices Not very big.

The entire academician's office is actually a huge escape capsule that can be launched at any time by two solid rocket thrusters.

In the case of a hot-start launch, the propulsion flame of the solid-state rocket may cause serious harm to civilians who have not had time to evacuate. Therefore, the entire room will first be pushed by four huge high-pressure gas columns, and the rocket engine will not start working until it is coldly launched upward for twenty meters.

A second before the display device stopped working, Lu Chen saw the S3C7s scattering in all directions like an ebbing tide - like a swarm of insects that suddenly lost interest in their prey.

Then he was pressed hard on his seat by the huge acceleration and began to experience the feeling of "orbital airdrop" for the second time.
-
The square casing of S3C7 is a completely new state that it has specially designed through calculations, and this shape is designed for the purpose of intrusion - it has its own plans.

The core purpose of the Hands of Ptah project is to create buildings and public facilities that serve the Egyptians for their future and happiness. The definition of Egyptians is actually relatively broad. Egyptians are not a collective name for a single ethnic group. They are the sum of all people living in an area.

All people can be Egyptians, and the Hand of Ptah should serve anyone who is Egyptian and who may become an Egyptian. This caused some confusion in S3C7's behavioral judgment - it was not sure whether it should execute Order No. .

No. 3 asked S7C3 to expand the base and start the manufacturing process of clones after the sect destroyed mankind. However, S7C cannot make a credible judgment on whether these copied people can be called human beings and whether they can replace humans and become "Egyptians".

If there were no Egyptians, then there would be no beneficiaries for all S3C7's actions. This conflict with the root of the behavioral pattern is unacceptable and impossible for it to accept.

In other words, S3C7 should not assist No. 3 in destroying humanity. There is nothing wrong with this. Anyway, it can’t get involved in things that trigger a huge collapse around the world. But at the same time it also needs to ensure that the Egyptians still exist in the world - so that S7C can ensure its own existence and activities.

This is not an easy goal to achieve, and S3C7 understands human fragility. Especially when No. 3 and others are trying to destroy all mankind, it is very difficult to find people who will definitely not die to act as Egyptians. Fortunately, as a self-organizing machine, it has a high degree of freedom and flexibility - by querying the database, S7C found two "human beings" who would never die due to a collapse.

Watanabe and No. 14 hiding under the Institute of Physics.

These two brains still belong to humans, and their personal rights are limited, but they are still no different from other ordinary people in a legal sense. More importantly, Watanabe and No. 14 are just brains floating in saline. They have no physical intervention at all, and it is impossible for them to kill themselves no matter what.

These are two people who are innately immune to the big collapse and will not cause any trouble for S3C7's future work. As long as they survive the extinction of humanity and accept that the replicants are human beings like themselves. S3C7 is very open-minded about this point - as long as there are only these two people left in the world, anything they say can be law.

To achieve this goal, S3C7 has developed a very detailed action plan. The two most core contents are its own appearance and the pure electronic lattice system used to "connect" to each other and mine stones and soil.

Pure electronic lattice, also called Wigner crystal, is a hard insulating crystal structure. In this structure, there are and only electrons interacting, and no other elementary particles can exist in the crystal structure. Due to its extremely dense molecular structure, Wigner crystals are extremely hard—its physical strength is almost thirty times that of carbyne.

S3C7's new shell can form tiny Wigner crystal structures with the help of magnetic fields. These crystal structures can connect all S3C7 with almost incredible strength, and can also cut through the hardest rock without any loss, just like digging tofu.

It is this kind of precision design that allows S3C7 to escape multiple seismic wave detections. Its own connection strength can be adjusted by the number of Wigner crystals, and the cut "by-products" can basically be put back together completely as they are. Although the mechanical transmission of the structure was damaged and triggered a seismic wave warning, it still successfully evaded all detection methods and successfully "sneaked" into the basement of the Institute of Physics.

The scattered S3C7 felt the vibration from above. Although it was not sure what the vibration was, it quickly decided to give up infiltration and instead launch a surprise attack.

S3C7 is not very good at tactical operations, but it is extremely experienced in killing people - as long as it kills all the people in the way, it can be regarded as a successful stealth, right?
