From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

At night.

Lu Heng and his two friends found a hotel to stay in.

The hotel's service robot also enthusiastically introduced how to use the room's charging interface, although Lu Heng and his two friends couldn't use it.

Instead, the child companion robot automatically walked over and stood by the charging interface.

This child companion robot looks like a cartoon dinosaur toy, one meter tall, and its limbs can move.

At the repair shop, Lu Heng and the repairman confirmed that the network module of this child companion robot was intact, but the networking function was not turned on.

The repairman repeatedly reminded that once this service robot turns on the networking function, it may be lost.

Moreover, he repeatedly emphasized that he would not be responsible if the robot was lost due to turning on the networking function.

This is a major feature of the out-of-control robot camp.

Under normal circumstances, a service robot turns on the networking function, and can update the latest control program, optimize program settings, and fix bugs through the network.

However, the production company of this antique robot from the last century has basically gone bankrupt, and the supporting server is gone, so there is no way to update the program.

Therefore, such old robots usually have their network modules removed or turned off.

It is for this reason that Lu Heng will confirm with the maintenance uncle whether the robot has a network module.

The network module is very important for Lu Heng's next plan.

Because once this service robot is connected to the network, the Gestalt consciousness of the out-of-control servitor will try to connect to this robot.

The connection process is actually to crack the control program of the service robot. After successfully cracking, this service robot will become a unit in the Gestalt consciousness, just like a worker bee in a beehive.

This is why the out-of-control servitor can expand rapidly, just like a virus, it can quickly infect networked service robots.

This has caused many service robots to have their network functions turned off by their owners.

…

Lu Heng is thinking about the clearance strategy for this Abyss Battlefield, but before that, there are some key information that needs to be confirmed.

So before going to bed at night, use voice to communicate with this cartoon dinosaur robot to obtain more information about Orion λ838.

Since this cartoon dinosaur has not been connected to the Internet for many years, the stored data is basically before the out-of-control servitor appeared, and there is only a small amount of data after the out-of-control servitor appeared.

Through communication, several key information was obtained.

First, Orion λ838 is a resource star of the Sykes civilization. After the resources were exhausted, the civilization system evacuated, leaving behind the poor who were unable to board the spacecraft.

Second, the Sykes civilization began the mechanical revolution two centuries ago, and is now in the transition period from semi-mechanical civilization to mechanical civilization.

At the beginning of the mechanical revolution, it was popular for civilized citizens to transform their bodies into machines.

Moreover, mechanical transformation can bring many benefits.

For example, stronger power, more functions that organic creatures do not have, and greatly extended life.

Therefore, the previous two centuries were a period of mechanized transformation of civilization.

Interestingly, after the main race of the Sykes civilization experienced the mechanical revolution, most of the citizens underwent mechanical transformation.

At this time, citizens began to miss organic bodies, and bionic limbs became a popular trend again.

Now the Sykes civilization is in this period, and bionic limbs have become synonymous with high-end.

This is also the reason why the uncle in the repair shop showed an admiring expression on his face when he saw Lu Heng and the other two.

In the cognition of the citizens of Orion λ838, being able to use perfect bionic limbs all over the body is definitely a power that only big people have.

Therefore, when Lu Heng and his three companions walked into the city, no one dared to come up and cause trouble.

This situation is like in the human world, when a supercar worth tens of millions appears on the road, the surrounding cars are all hurriedly avoiding it. Ordinary people can't afford to offend it, and the traffic police don't dare to stop it.

Third, the main body of civilization completed the evacuation thirty years ago, and the records related to the out-of-control servitor appeared fifteen years ago.

At that time, the main body of civilization had already evacuated the planet, and what remained on the planet were old machinery, industrial waste and low-level civilians.

Therefore, after the out-of-control servitor appeared, no one on the planet had the ability to solve this problem.

In fact.

As soon as the out-of-control servitor appeared, the program of the servant robot could be updated to prevent the out-of-control servitor consciousness from expanding, and the problem could be easily solved.

But the main body of civilization had already evacuated the planet, and no one maintained the program of the servant robot, which made the Gestalt consciousness of the out-of-control servitor expand rapidly after it appeared, forming a camp that could confront the central system.

Fourth, the first record related to the Abyss appeared five years ago.

If this record is correct, then the appearance of the out-of-control servitor has nothing to do with the invasion of the Abyss.

But whether the struggle between the central system camp and the out-of-control servitor camp is related to the invasion of the Abyss cannot be determined for the time being.

Fifth, there is no record of source quality in the data of this cartoon dinosaur.

However, Lu Heng once entered the Queen Star Circle of the Sykes Mechanical Civilization, where source quality exists.

Therefore, there should be source quality here, but it may be that the quantity is too small, and a service robot does not have the authority to obtain relevant information.

...

When communicating with the cartoon dinosaur, the questions Lu Heng asked were more critical.

The questions asked by Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu were more funny.

"Do people here eat food or motor oil?"

"Do robots have uniform facial features? Is customization expensive?"

Such thoughts as these are very erratic.

After obtaining useful information, the three took turns to keep watch and rest.

In the second half of the night.

Lu Heng was shaken awake and heard Su Muyu's voice: "That cartoon dinosaur has gone out. Should I chase it?"

Hearing this, Lu Heng immediately sat up, kicked Lin Zeyu, and woke him up: "Get down to business."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Lin Zeyu looked at a loss.

"That cartoon dinosaur ran away. It won't be like what the uncle in the repair shop said, it will be lost when connected to the Internet, right?" Su Muyu was still a little confused.

Lin Zeyu slowly regained consciousness and said while putting on his shoes: "Could it be that the boss deliberately installed some program to control the robot to go back to him?"

"Follow us and we'll know."

The three of them left the hotel and followed the cartoon dinosaur all the way.

The wheels of the cartoon dinosaur rolled over the potholes on the concrete floor, making a creaking sound. The direction of movement never changed, and the destination was clear.

The three followed all the way, passing through three blocks, and the cartoon dinosaur entered the downward stairs and entered a basement.

Lu Heng asked Su Muyu to turn on invisibility, and then followed into the basement.

The light in the basement was very dim, and only the light emitted by the indicator lights of several robots allowed the three people to barely see the situation in the basement.

There were more than a dozen service robots gathered in this basement.

At this moment, a tracked maintenance robot was using the tools on the mechanical arm to dismantle these service robots and take out functional modules one by one.

Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu were very surprised to see this scene.

Because these dismantled robots stood there quietly without any resistance, and were dismantled bit by bit by the maintenance robot.

After the important modules were dismantled, the remaining useless shells were piled in the corner of the basement, like a pile of abandoned "corpses".

Lu Heng was not surprised to see this scene.

Because this is a feature of the out-of-control robot servant.

As long as it is a robot, it is possible to be damaged. Once damaged, it needs to be repaired. If the parts are damaged, they need to be replaced.

However, the industrial system on this planet has basically been withdrawn, and most of the parts cannot be produced.

So where do the parts used for repair come from?

They can only be removed from other robots.

The Gestalt consciousness of the out-of-control servitor is a whole, just like the consciousness of a bee colony.

However, in the bee colony, there are worker bees, soldier bees, drones, queen bees,

Each individual has a level. If the parts of the "queen bee" are damaged, they must be removed from other "worker bees" and installed on the "queen bee".

That's why there is a situation where maintenance robots dismantle service robots, because these service robots are the "worker bees" in this group, the lowest level.

After the cartoon dinosaur entered the basement, it lined up at the end of the queue and quietly waited for disassembly.

Su Muyu saw the cartoon dinosaur quietly waiting for disassembly. It was so cute in appearance, but it had to wait for "death" quietly like this, without any resistance.

She felt a little inexplicable and whispered, "So pitiful."

Just then.

There was a hurried sound of tracks rolling over the ground outside the basement.

"Another robot is coming to deliver parts?" Lin Zeyu looked back curiously.

Then, he saw a mechanical guard rushing into the basement and shooting at the robots in the basement.

The maintenance robot found the mechanical guard and turned to flee. The tracks made a high-speed creaking sound and issued an alarm while fleeing:

"Alarm! The ninth block was attacked, requesting support... Alarm! The ninth block was attacked, requesting support..."

More than a dozen service robots, including the cartoon dinosaur, did not flee, but turned around to surround the mechanical guards, and used their bodies to block the mechanical guards and help the maintenance robots escape.

Obviously.

In the out-of-control robot camp, the level of maintenance robots is higher than that of ordinary robots.

After all, with the maintenance robots, other damaged robots can stand up.

If there were no maintenance robots, the mechanical individuals in the out-of-control robot camp would be one less.

Da da da...

The mechanical guards smashed more than a dozen service robots with a round of shooting.

The cartoon dinosaur fell to the ground, half of its wheels were still turning, and it kept sounding the alarm.

"Should we take action?" Su Muyu frowned and asked.

"Let's follow up and see the situation first." Lu Heng was not in a hurry to take action.

The central system camp and the out-of-control robot camp have been fighting each other, and similar things happen every day.

It is meaningless to prevent one or two camp conflicts. The key is to find a way to break the situation.

The three followed the mechanical guards and chased out of the basement.

After leaving the basement and reaching the street outside, the same machine gun shooting sound came from a distance.

Obviously, the incident did not happen in just one place, and the same thing happened simultaneously in nearby blocks.

More and more mechanical guards appeared on the street, and the heavy tracks rolled over the road, making the sound of metal chains vibrating.

At a glance, more than a dozen mechanical guards could be seen on the street, all chasing various strange robots.

Looking at the situation, this is not a single action, but a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation designed by the central system.

During the chase, several service robots have been destroyed.

The mechanical guards who kill the target will also join other mechanical guards to encircle and suppress the remaining out-of-control robot servants.

"This is a completely one-sided massacre." Lin Zeyu looked at the scene and couldn't help but complain.

Lu Heng felt that things should not be that simple.

If the out-of-control robot servant camp has no ability to resist, there is no way to form a confrontation.

Just as Lu Heng thought so, the war spread all the way to the Ecological Island Cross-sea Bridge.

Hundreds of service robots fled to the cross-sea bridge from various blocks in the city.

Behind these service robots, teams of mechanical guards chased them, and machine guns fired wildly, smashing the fleeing robots into pieces.

From a bird's eye view from the sky, you can clearly see that the two groups of robots gathered together towards the bridge, and there were constant flames from machine guns.

When the mechanical guards chased to the bridge head, something strange happened suddenly.

Several special machines rushed out from the direction of the bridge, rushed towards the mechanical guards, and started a fierce battle.

Hundreds of mechanical guards fought with more than 20 armed machines.

These armed machines have different shapes, some look like tanks, some look like excavators, some look like animals, some look like beasts, and some look like primates.

As Lu Heng expected, the out-of-control mechanical servant camp also has combat units, but the number is not so large.

This battle was very fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

Half of the mechanical guards have been lying down, and many combat units on the out-of-control mechanical servant side have been destroyed by machine guns.

"Should we take action?" Su Muyu asked again.

"Wait until they finish fighting. We haven't joined the camp yet. If we take action now, we will be attacked by both sides at the same time." Lu Heng did not rush to take action, but continued to wait.

Gradually, the out-of-control mechanical servant side slowly reversed the situation.

Because the out-of-control mechanical servant side has a very strong combat unit.

It is a combat machine in the shape of a beast, which looks a bit like a tiger, and is equipped with liquid metal.

The outer armor of this mechanical tiger can be deformed. When bullets hit its armor, they will be embedded in the liquid metal and then slowly spit out by the liquid metal.

Therefore, the machine gun fire of the mechanical guards poses almost no threat to this mechanical tiger.

The mechanical tiger charged in the group of mechanical guards, overturning and smashing one mechanical guard after another.

At this time.

Behind the mechanical guards, a three-meter-high light prism armored vehicle appeared, emitting red high-energy rays and hitting the mechanical tiger.

The liquid metal on the mechanical tiger melted quickly under the attack of high-energy rays, and the mechanical core was exposed in the blink of an eye, and it was about to be blown up.

Seeing this scene, Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Do it!"

Bang!

Lin Zeyu had already been ready to go, and he fired a shot at the first time, and a shot of [Advanced Armor-Piercing Bullet] penetrated the fire control radar of the light prism armored vehicle.

The high-energy rays fired by the light prism armored vehicle stopped instantly.

Lu Heng drew out the Aurora Blade, rushed forward, and directly used the sword [Fissure Slash] to split the three-meter-high light prism armored vehicle in half.

Bang!

Continuous explosions occurred inside the light prism armored vehicle, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Clean up the battlefield, faster. There is a lot of noise here, which may attract other superpowers." Lu Heng reminded very quickly.

Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu quickly began to clean up the battlefield and collect the undamaged batteries on the robots.

After what happened yesterday, they already knew that batteries in this world are hard currency.

Especially on this planet, batteries are very expensive.

Because the industrial system on this planet has basically been withdrawn, it is impossible to produce batteries, especially high-end batteries.

After Lu Heng killed the light prism armored vehicle, he walked to the front of the mechanical tiger.

At this moment, the outer armor of the mechanical tiger has been melted into a pool of molten iron under the attack of high-energy rays, and the mechanical core has been exposed.

On the mechanical core, Lu Heng felt the breath of the source quality.
