Him and their stars

This is a family crest that has been removed from the Imperial Heraldry Academy. Looking at this long-lost coat of arms, the "girl" felt a little dazed for a moment. She reached out her hand and gently touched the exquisite jasper-colored insect-shaped pattern.

This insect, called the Biton borer, is an extinct creature. They come from the Salvin family's hometown, Darvill Island on the planet Tirero. I remember "Father" said that this is the most beautiful creature in the entire galaxy. Its whole body is like the finest jasper, crystal clear, warm and beautiful. On snowy nights in winter, when everything is lonely, it does not want to be deprived of life by ice and snow. Just such an insect, the only one that can sing softly in the severe cold. When it sings a long song, it seems to bring the prosperity and vitality of a long summer, overwhelming the cold weather. Cold wind.

However, after all, they are not phantom beasts with mysterious powers. They are as fragile as all insects.

It is difficult for creatures that are too beautiful and fragile to survive.

"Father" once said that his biggest dream is to let this legendary magical creature appear in this universe again. This is a proud and unyielding creature that should not disappear from the universe.

"Listen up, Charlie, pride and unyielding are naturally virtues, but they cannot be rare virtues!" he said.

The "girl" shook her head vigorously, bringing her thoughts back from the long memories. She opened her mouth slightly and let out a series of high-pitched and sweet insect sounds that sounded like chants.

This is exactly the cry of the Bidong borer, a sound that has been extinct in the Milky Way for two to three hundred years.

This crisp sound penetrated the thick passage and rock wall, and seemed to touch the surrounding machine springs. Immediately afterwards, a faint "buzz" sound was heard from the end of the passage, and a small hole opened slightly. In other words, this is not even a cave entrance, it is so narrow that only a snake can crawl in.

However, this is nothing to the "girl". She turned herself into a water snake again and stuck her head into the hole. The moment she passed through the hole, she felt a subtle spiritual fluctuation.

The entrance here is a sophisticated operation similar to the "Spiritual Treasure House" and "Mustard Seed World". There is almost no spiritual fluctuation, but it can only be opened with a specific password.

This should be the reason why the empire did not find any clues even though they dug deep into the area before.

The "girl" passed through this narrow and rugged passage and finally came to a space similar to the underwater ruins of the previous Lord's Valley. She knew that this was actually one of the "laboratories" left by her father, and there should be something she wanted in it.

Probably because it was too long ago, the scenes in the ruins always looked a bit dilapidated, with garbage suspected to be instrument fragments scattered everywhere.

The "girl" vaguely felt that she should have been here before, and looking at this dilapidated scene, she vaguely felt a sense of sadness. However, just when she landed and regained her true form, a faint light suddenly flashed on the porch in front of the "laboratory". The "debris" and "garbage" scattered around the door seemed to be pulled by invisible magnets, rising up one after another and quickly gathering together.

Then, a stunning layer of metallic light flashed across, and the collected fragments formed a robot that looked like a metal armor, majestic and majestic.

The only "eye" on the top of the robot's head popped out a green ray, scanning the "girl" for a week, and then issued a confused electronic voice: "Order?"

The "girl" was a little stunned. She really didn't expect that there was an obstacle here, but she couldn't pretend to be confused at this time. She pondered for a moment, thought of the family motto, and said in a questioning tone: "Eternal life? "

"Wrong," said the robot. Although it emits a smooth electronic sound, it doesn't seem to be very friendly anymore.

The girl thought for a moment, and then reported a birthday that included "life and death" plus "father".

"Wrong." the robot said again. Six arms have been spread out behind it, and each arm seems to have a weird weapon extending out.

The "girl" frowned and bit her lip. This time she hesitated for seven or eight seconds before announcing "life is endless" and her birthday in a somewhat wavering tone.

The robot put away its green scanning light, and the lights in its eyes flashed: "The password is correct."

The "girl" took a long breath, and a trace of warmth flashed in her heart. However, before she could recall the warm time with her father, the robot suddenly said again: "The soul appraisal failed and the order failed."

What did it just say? fail?

A blank flash occurred in the "girl's" head, and she hurriedly said loudly: "Isn't the password correct? Why did it fail?"

"The soul appraisal failed." The robot added: "Only those who have obtained the spiritual oracle can pass the appraisal. Appraisal again...it is confirmed that it is the next-level unified will! The soul appraisal failed!"

The robot's six arms simultaneously deployed magnetic field energy pillars that looked like lightsabers, and then used an electronic voice to make a rather humane taunt: "Identification failed! Follow the arrangement of the previous owner and start the automatic cleaning process!"

It was too late for the "girl" to think more. At this time, her sight had been completely obscured by the dazzling light that bloomed. Fiery and deadly attacks were already coming towards him from all directions.

"It's just a rag from two hundred years ago! Who is cleaning who?" Although she was indeed caught off guard by the opponent's attack, the "girl" was instead aroused. She didn't believe that she couldn't even defeat a robot.

Of course, she no longer wanted to care about what the other "debris" and "garbage" in the room were doing. This central control building, and even the ruins of the entire coordination factory, are naturally not within her current attention span.

At this time, the first group of culprits who caused the battle in the factory ruins, namely a team of three "robots" and a human, had occupied a small factory building and were resisting.

This factory is not large in area and has only one entrance and exit. The exterior wall is made of a composite material that has strong temperature resistance and can absorb electromagnetic waves. Because its internal equipment has been dismantled, its original function is now unclear. However, this kind of composite material wall seems to have a certain hysteresis effect on the virtual ghosts and Yaxu beasts formed by energy. These monsters, which could only act on instinct, immediately stopped trying to break in from the wall, and all rushed towards the only entrance and exit, and fell right into the defense network set up by General Griffith and his friends. forward.

The energy beams on the technological side have limited damage to these monsters incarnated in the virtual world, but as long as the firepower is strong enough, they can still form an absolute interception network.

Although there were only four "people" present, due to the presence of those three "robot" friends who were armed to the teeth, the firepower in their hands was already comparable to that of a reinforced company. Under the cover of their methodical and intensive firepower, no attacker could pose a real threat.

However, the battle has lasted for more than half an hour now. Even if their ammunition reserves are sufficient, human energy has its limits.

By this time, Major Poppas had completed three battery packs. The pulse ion cannon he was operating did not have any problems such as mechanical accidents caused by the hot sound of the barrel, but he himself could not hide his obvious tiredness, and even his eyes were obviously distracted.

Fortunately, this wave of enemies was finally defeated. The major took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his face, and looked at the three "robot" companions who were still "energetic", with a trace of envy flashing on his face.

"If I were a psyker, wouldn't I be tired by now?" He murmured softly.

"Of course psykers will also get tired." General Griffith heard what he said and smiled: "Even those with eight or nine rings, those who are regarded by the world as the pinnacle of living gods, will definitely be tired. of."

He himself is only a third-level person, but when he comments on those big guys who are almost on the side of the truth, his tone is quite natural.

"Furthermore, ordinary people will be exhausted when they are exhausted. If a high-level psyker is really pushed to the point of exhaustion, he may suffer some irreparable mental trauma. If he is not careful, he may not be able to do anything. Do you have to become a monster to be good?”

"Yes, will it be so terrifying?" Major Poppas was shocked, looking like his three views had been subverted.

"Well, so far, according to statistics from the past 2,000 years, the probability of a known psyker becoming a fallen monster is about one in 2.4 million."

Isn’t that lower than the probability of shipwreck? Major Poppas's expression was a little awkward.

"Of course, it is difficult to estimate the probability of suffering irreversible mental trauma. Because no one can be sure whether it is due to fatigue or combat trauma. However, this at least shows that psykers also have their own problems." Griffith The general said.

The major looked like he had been taught something: "However, the machine will not tire. I see, I finally understand what you are after."

"No, no, you don't understand. Major, of course the robot is not omnipotent. Otherwise, why would we have been in a bitter battle just now? In that scene just now, not to mention Master Tantai, even Colonel Yu Lian was here. As for it being so dangerous." General Griffith's electronic eyes flickered: "I just hope that I can walk on two legs and not favor either side. However, everyone's prejudice against intelligent machines is too stubborn. This is what I Want to change.”

Major Poppas continued to nod, but his smile was still stiff. He probably wanted to say: "I am willing to support your attitude in friendship. But for such a big matter, I can't accept it even if you say it!"

The Marine Major, who had low emotional intelligence, began to rack his brains to think of diplomatic rhetoric, but before he could gain anything, Engineering Officer Zhan Guo, who was paying attention to the monitoring equipment, said: "Yes."

Major Poppas looked at the end of the passage ahead. Under the dim light, there was indeed another energetic entanglement taking shape. He sighed silently, gritted his teeth and took out an injection from his pocket. Just as he was about to inject it, General Griffith said: "It's best to use this kind of thing sparingly."

The major was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Well, all countries are actually using stimulants in batches. I know there are side effects, but I don't care about them at this time. At worst, after this battle, we can go to training Go and lie down in the pan."

"The gene therapy cabin is not a panacea. I have seen too many soldiers who abused stimulants. Their bodies were cured by the gene cabin, but their spirits were completely broken." General Griffith said: "Life is wonderful, but It's also complicated. At least in the brain, we know very little."

"There is a saying that if you use too many stimulant drugs, you will completely stay away from psychic powers." Heros said: "Scientific officials speculate that a healthy and growing brain that has not been corroded by external forces can carry the power of mysticism. .”

This was the first time that this taciturn commander took the initiative to speak to him, so Major Poppas looked at him twice.

"Don't be too nervous." Heros said again: "The enemy is coming, but there is something else."

Zhan Guo also said: "In addition to the energy signals of the virtual ghost and the Yaxu Beast, there is a new signal...a nanomachine?"

Mr. Engineering Officer must be really surprised that even his electronic sound actually has some slightly trembling pauses.

At this time, Major Poppas could even see this scene with his naked eyes. On the current wide factory road, the beating energy once again condensed into translucent ghost-like monsters, as well as various hideous and terrifying monsters. But at the same moment, metal robots of different sizes and shapes sprouted out of the ground, like mushrooms growing in the forest after a heavy rain.

It was probably the first time for Major Poppas to see such a shocking scene, and he was stunned. Of course, the three "robots" present were all experts in this field, and they naturally knew that the scene just now was indeed the performance of nanorobots.

However, they are not so much grown out of the ground as they are the result of a large group of small robots that are almost invisible to the naked eye, crawling out of the cracks in the rocks and merging together.

"However, this function of fusion and assembly into various forms should still remain theoretical, right?" General Griffith said.

"Yes. The prerequisite for realizing this is that we must first make the nanorobots infinitely close to the size of molecules, and the state of aggregation must have the adhesion, ductility and stability of liquid metal. In addition, , how to design the energy system of a molecule-sized robot to maintain this magnetism? How to implement the calculation wafer inside it? Should one witness complete all the calculations, or be scattered on each single unit. This is what we must technical problems to be solved.”

The Engineering Officer was indeed quite shaken. When it comes to purely robotic technology, their iron-army alliance dares to claim that they are the strongest in the galaxy, if not the strongest. Even the Gray Mist Combat Omnic that the community obtained by accident was claimed to have been dug out of an archaeological site. They also went to observe it and believed that there was no unachievable performance in it.

Some optimists within the Iron Army Complex even believe that they are no longer inferior to the Enlightened Ones based on robotics technology alone. This proves that the path they agree on must be correct.

But now, these new nanorobots have indeed dealt a heavy blow to their pride.

No, Engineering Officer Zhan Guo, even the yellow light on the mecha seems to be much dimmer than before.

On the contrary, it was Commander Heiros. The red light on his mecha became inexplicably brighter. He stared closely at the nano-robots that were taking shape, and seemed to be flashing "I am very curious".
