Chapter 433 I'm Not Going Back
This is a conference room on the second floor of the Tower of Babel. The meetings of the hubs are usually held here.

The division of permissions in the mechanical camp is quite strict. There are four levels of permissions in total. The floors that can be moved at each level are different. From bottom to top, the scope of activities of each level increases by one level. If there are no special tasks, those with permissions at each level will often only Activities in this layer, carry out daily calculations, and deal with various things.

The second floor is naturally the location of the highest authority. Only seven centers are qualified to enter. In decades, no individual outside the center has entered, let alone a human being. Unexpectedly, today there are six. There may be two more following in stealth mode.

There is a conference table in the middle, with both sides occupying one side, and the boundaries are clear. There are seven mechanical bodies, five men and two women, including an elderly figure who looks to be 80 or [-] years old, and a little girl who looks underage.However, these are just external images. Their individual performances are normal and far exceed those of ordinary people in the floating city. They cannot really be treated as old people and children. As for thinking ability, each of these centers has experienced several experiences. In the past ten years, anyone who thinks that they are ignorant or stupid is really stupid.

The meeting had just begun, and no one on either side spoke. The seven centers inserted wires into the ports on the table. It should be a direct connection, with Maximilian sharing information with others. There was no urging from Xiure's side. The Shadow Chasers Having experienced similar scenes many times, of course there was no stage fright. Everyone was waiting leisurely and contentedly, especially the dwarves and halflings. They even planned to take this opportunity to have another quarrel, but luckily, Shuuer glared at them, which put an end to this. A strange thought.There is only Delia. The little one has lowered her head and said nothing since just now. No one knows exactly what she is thinking, but at least they can guess that what she is about to do will be related to her future. Decide.

"Friends from another world." The oldest-looking old man among the seven centers spoke up, "I am the logic center, and I am mainly responsible for summarizing various information and conducting logical analysis. Since the thinking center and I are both I am a single individual, so I don’t need a name. You can just call me by the logic center.”

"Maximilian has already reported to us that our friends from other worlds are willing to meet our request and intercede with the Supreme Master on our behalf, asking him to contact the two prohibitions. We are very grateful for this, but before the Supreme Master comes, I hope to know in advance what price we need to pay for your help?"

"There is no help for no reason in the world. When providing help to other individuals, each individual actually has a purpose. Taking human beings as an example, if you help others, some people can get money, and some people can get reputation. Even if Without these, you can still get a sense of self-satisfaction or a sacred sense of sacrifice from the act of helping. Therefore, no matter whether the reward is tangible or intangible, at least there is something to seek. Help for no reason is neither It's human, it's not logical. So I want to figure out in advance what you want."

"Oh, logic center, as expected, everything is distinguished by whether it is logical or not." Shuer smiled and nodded, "Since I have decided to talk to you, I don't want to hide my true thoughts. In fact, this time we come to you The world is not just for friendly visits, we do have our own purposes.”

"First of all, it's the technology of your world. We are interested in all the technology. Of course, we have actually secretly obtained this part from the humans in the Floating City. What you have hidden from humans is true, and we have also Already copied, hehe, I’m really sorry, but just think of it as us collecting the reward first.”

"I don't understand, Mr. Seure, your technological level should be much higher than that of our Brown Star world. At least in terms of electronic technology, you have already left us far behind. Maximilian said that the Wei in your backpack Madam's performance has reached a level that we can't imagine. I'm afraid that all the mechanical computing capabilities of the entire brown star can't match her. Electronic technology is so advanced, and other levels should not be far behind. Why is it still needed? What about our technology?"

"This is related to our internal affairs. I'm sorry that I can't disclose it to you, but you can think of it as a curiosity about the world of magic technology and the non-magic world." Shuer opened his eyes and made up. "Our world is called Parvatiga, and the people in it are overly curious. Did you see the person over there who is studying how to stuff leaves into your communication port? She is a typical example of overly curious people. . In order to satisfy our curiosity, we would rather overcome various difficulties, travel between different worlds, and explore the secrets of each world. Well, technology is just one of them."

"Oh? One of them? What about the others?"

"Others, we need to communicate with the Supreme Mastermind." Shuer shrugged, "After all, what we want to communicate is related to the secrets of the origin of the world. With our current understanding, these secrets can only be understood by the Supreme Mastermind. Individuals like you are I don’t know, maybe this is a kind of protection given to you by the Supreme Mastermind, after all, the gods of our world always like to protect her people on their own initiative.”

"What you said can be self-consistent in logical analysis. I think it is true. At least a large part of it is true. The false part will not have any essential impact." The logic center nodded slowly, " This part should be believed.”

"Thank you very much." No one expected that the one who thanked was the most confusing little girl among the seven mechanical bodies. She looked only eleven or twelve years old, about the same age as Lisa, and her mechanical voice was very immature, but But the expression is very mature, not showing childishness at all, "I am the thinking center of this area, responsible for the decision of all things in this area, just like the logic center, you can call me the thinking center, or you can call me the sub-brain."

"Oh, the assistant of the Supreme Mastermind?"

"Yes, my mission is to assist the Supreme Master Brain in controlling this territory so that the situation will not escape the control of the Supreme Master Brain." The thinking center said in a calm tone, "We can completely accept the request you just made, although you We have secretly taken away what we want, but we will still make a commitment to open our system network to you at any time and provide you with necessary information. This is our sincerity, and I hope you can accept it. Of course, as a friendly As a symbol of communication, can you also provide some consultation of the same kind, so that it is not regarded as a unilateral request." "Yes." Shuer pondered for a moment and nodded, "But you will definitely not be able to interpret it. Even if you interpret it, It’s not necessarily a good thing.”

"Ok?"

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but it's not necessarily a good thing to be exposed to too advanced knowledge too early, and it is likely to bring unnecessary disasters." Shuer sighed and copied Wei's words, "The higher the technological level of the civilization, , the more obvious this phenomenon becomes, just like teaching primitive people who drink raw hair and drink blood to make iron tools, it will not have much impact, but teaching ignorant ancient people to make atomic weapons or energy weapons will be a disaster for the world. I don’t want it to happen because of us The reasons have caused irreversible consequences, so please consider it carefully before making a decision."

"It's understandable, but we still need it." The Thinking Center said expressionlessly, "It's not that we need it, but that the Supreme Master Brain needs it. The Supreme Master Brain told me alone when he came before that he urgently needs this knowledge. The more the better, the better to risk disaster."

"You... really don't know how to negotiate." Xiuer's eyes swept across the faces of the seven mechanical bodies one by one.

"No, on the contrary, according to my deduction, this is the only way to gain the greatest benefit from you. The humans above are an example. It is impossible to get what we want from you using normal methods."

"Tsk, tsk, it was counterattacked, and there is no way to refute it." Shuer sighed, "Forget it, let's not get hung up on the details. Since it is the information the Supreme Mastermind wants, we will talk to him directly later. Is that okay with you guys? Great, then in addition, we have another request."

"Please, we'll try to accommodate."

"This is the child." Shuer patted Delia's shoulder beside him. "She came to participate in this infiltration with the belief that she would die if she didn't succeed. We respect her choice, so there is nothing wrong with her." She concealed everything we knew. She already knew everything. Including your fundamental purpose, there are still many secrets. After we complete the mission, we can leave and return to Parvatiga, but it is impossible for her. She will still be here. Living in this world, I understand that you cannot safely let her go back like this. That would be equivalent to exposing everything about you to humans. The best solution is of course to take out her memory chip and send it back to the floating city to let her Forget everything that happened here.”

"However, her backup memory was from three years ago. Three years of memory has little impact on an adult, but it is different for a child under ten years old. Therefore, I don't want her to be affected by this. She has lost the memory of the past few years, I hope she can live safely."

"The child of the two heroes? We won't do anything to her. Since she hasn't contacted the Supreme Mastermind yet, we won't stop her if she wants to go back. Only the top human beings know that she exists on this trip. Very few of them, those people have more or less understanding of what she knows, including our existence, and she can just tell the truth when she goes back. However, it is best not to publicize these casually, otherwise it will be created among the people In the atmosphere of panic, I am afraid that the first people to come out to stop it are those high-level human beings."

"Ah, a bold decision." Shuer stared at the thinking center for a long time before smiling, "Delia, you..."

"Uncle, I refuse." Delia suddenly raised her head and said firmly, "I won't go back, I want to join them."

"what?"

　It's almost over, you should have had a hunch.
