Him and their stars

These robots didn't look like sane and friendly units. They had just taken shape and turned around to pounce on the Void Realm Ghost and Yaxu Beast next to them. The two groups of intruders immediately fought together.

It stands to reason that robots on the technological side lack the necessary means of harming monsters produced in this virtual world, but in fact, the energy blades and blaster weapons they display are quite sharp, and their effectiveness against the enemy is greater than that of General Griffith and the others. Much more efficient. In comparison, the attacks of the Yaxu beast and the ghost only caused a few electric sparks to fly from the robots occasionally, slightly delaying their pace of action, but they never caused fatal damage.

In this way, even though the number of nano-robots is far inferior to that of their opponents, they still have the feeling of being unparalleled in entering the enemy group.

The newly formed alien objects in the virtual world once again encountered disaster. This time they didn't even have time to take shape, and they disappeared under the flickering light of various beams.

Thanks to them, the team of three "robots" and one human can finally take a break.

"So, are the rumors true? This is really an amazing ability! Since it is a nanomachine, how can it use so many energy weapons? In addition, that kind of light blade cannot be a lightsaber or an atomic light spear. Even if It is impossible for an enlightened person to equip nanomachines with precious phantoms. But, what is their energy principle?" General Griffith's electronic voice looked at the scene in front of him with piercing eyes and sighed in admiration.

Seeing the suspicious expression on Major Poppas's face, he explained frankly: "Back then, when the coordination robot factory was at its most prosperous, a lot of the robot market of our Iron Army Complex was taken away by the empire. There were rumors at that time , it is said that the founder of this factory, that is, Count Salvin, obtained some Enlightenment technology. Looking at the current situation, ancient technology exists, and even ancient robot armies exist, but Count Salvin does not Never used... Well, what is the reason for this? Is it because of the political factors behind some empires? Let me think about it. When the Coordination Factory was abandoned and split up, the family of Count Salvin was exterminated. His Majesty has just ascended the throne. ? What’s the hidden secret in this?"

"Original, that's it..." The major looked like he was about to cry, thinking that you just thought about it, don't say it out loud! I really don't want to hear it.

As an ordinary officer who was neither a psychic nor a powerful person, the news he learned today was far beyond his ability to digest.

When he thought of this, his eyes began to hurt again. Fortunately, this time it didn't last as long as last time. Just as he was about to cover his eyes, the pain disappeared.

Major Poppas still didn't know why and subconsciously touched his eyes. For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder if the pain just now was an illusion.

At this time, he heard the general ask: "We are not very good at analyzing this kind of thing. Wait until Colonel Yu Lian arrives and discuss it with him. Major, are you sure you have successfully communicated with Colonel Yu Lian just now?"

Major Poppas nodded quickly.

"I hope he will be more careful and not be regarded as enemies by these nanorobots." The general said: "Zhan Guo, try again and see if you can communicate with Colonel Yu Lian. Zhan Guo?"

Engineering officer Zhan Guo didn't hear General Griffith's order for a while. This was indeed a bit rude for a "robot". It seemed that the blow he received was really heavy.

General Griffith immediately guessed the dilemma of his subordinates and comforted him: "My friend, isn't this a good thing? Their existence can prove that our current research direction is correct. Those who are currently Concepts that are just theoretical are achievable. We are on the right path."

The engineering officer's yellow eyelight flickered for a moment, as if he was thinking, but he finally came to his senses: "I understand, General. I will start collecting their signals while continuing to call Colonel Yu Lian. .”

"Thank you for your hard work. Let Heiros come to help you. I will be responsible for the security. Heiros, Heiros? What are you doing?" General Griffith looked at Heiros who did not respond in confusion.

The commander next to him, Heiros, didn't know when he had unfolded three pairs of instruments like metal wings from his back, unfolding like petals on the back of the main body of the mecha. At first glance, it looks like it has turned itself into a large signal receiver.

His whole body was pressed against the nanobots that were fighting, and the red lights in his eyes flashed at an extremely fast speed.

"Heros?" General Griffith asked a second time. He lowered his arm and pointed his wrist at the opponent. He had never seen such a wing-shaped instrument, but he also felt that some too huge signal torrents were constantly growing.

"Preparing to take over their command! General." Heiros said.

"Command authority?" General Griffith's electronic sound was still steady, but the rhythm seemed to be stretched a bit.

Engineering officer Jan Guo was still a little confused, but Major Poppas had already sensed something and once again put his hand on the vehicle's blaster cannon. This machine gun is everyone's main outward firepower output, but he slightly adjusted the angle so that it would be easier to operate whether it is directed outward or turned inward.

At this time, I heard Heiros explaining in a serious tone: "This kind of nanorobot is called 'Ava', which is one of the languages ​​of the enlightened beings that has been cracked. In today's terms, it is called 'Matrix' , is one of the combat robot systems left behind by the Enlightenment civilization. Each million nanorobots close to the size of molecules are grouped into a strategic unit and controlled by a robot parent unit."

Ava? Enlightenment of civilization? One of the? The amount of information in the other party's words is really too much. Even General Griffith took a full three or four seconds to digest it a little bit, and then said: "Aren't you Black Ross?"

"Of course I am Heiros, and I am also the commander of the Iron Army Complex, General Griffith. I dare to swear to the spirit of the universe that so far, I have not done anything contrary to this position. Of course, below Our position is indeed more than that,” Heiros said.

"The people of Palla do not believe in the spirit of the universe." General Griffith said: "We do not admit that there is an omniscient and omnipotent existence in this universe that controls everything and dominates everything."

Perhaps he was worried about the pressure this would bring to the human friends next to him, so he said to Major Poppas: "Don't mind, Major. In this regard, we are the same as humans. The difference is that human psykers It’s just words, and the closer you get to the truth, the more true it is, but we don’t even say that.”

Major Poppas felt the pressure was even greater, so besides smiling, which was uglier than crying, he really didn't know what to say.

"This is the biggest difference between you and me, and most of the tribe." Heiros said: "Since there are some forces in this universe that we can't understand at the moment, how can we leave a little sense of awe?"

General Griffith nodded frankly again: "I will consider this suggestion carefully. So, what about your other positions?"

"Don't be anxious, let's talk step by step." Heros said: "You once said that intelligent robots will be the trend of the future, and one day, they can even replace the status of psykers."

"This is not something to be said casually." The general explained seriously: "I have never thought about letting robots replace psykers. I just hope that they will not be partial. At least, this technology must be a good supplement. We cannot do it because of prejudice and Superstition and giving up a possibility for the future.”

"This is not a prejudice, General, but because this technology does have its limits. The deeper I study in the field of robotics, the more I understand this."

General Griffith said: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Every nanomachine here is actually a signal terminal. I will use them to penetrate into the core of this matrix army and take over their control."

"Can this kind of thing be done?"

Heiros said: "Theoretically it is certainly possible. In fact, even our existing technology can do it."

General Griffith felt his heart beat loudly, but he sighed again. He is also a scientist himself, and he knows very well that the gap between theory and practice is sometimes wider than the gap between humans and dogs.

Zhan Guo seemed to have given up thinking completely. He hadn't said a word since just now, completely pretending to be a soulless puppet.

Major Poppas looked at General Griffith and then at Heiros, with a stiff expression on his face. It's obviously already so super-expanded, is it really okay to be so calm and courteous?

He really couldn't understand the population habits of the Pallai tribe, so he could only blame it all on cultural conflicts.

At this time, Heiros continued to operate the instrument while continuing to explain: "Of course, all of this requires a lot of real-time verification, data attack and defense. We need a data terminal with a huge amount of calculations, and a group of top operators. Of course. , I am a cartographer myself, and I can create the effect of an elite team on my own, and with some equipment provided by my companions, I can do what I said."

"You are also a psyker...and, cartographer? You actually conceal your identity as a psyker. How can you claim that you have never been sorry to the commander?"

"I have never received extra rewards because of my status as a psyker, nor have I used the power of a psyker to influence my colleagues. Of course not." Heiros said in a matter-of-fact manner.

The "Cartographer" is the sixth ring of the "Exploration" star ring. If interpreted literally, "cartography" refers to drawing various star and sea charts. But in fact, if we understand it more deeply, isn't the exploration and recognition of the boundaries of all fields also a kind of "cartography"?

Of course, "exploration" is also a more "civilian" spiritual path, and theoretically it is not very useful. But if you can't fight anymore, it's only relative. No matter what, this is just a sixth ring!

General Griffith considered making a sneak attack while the opponent was operating the equipment. But his own brain and the calculations on the mecha terminal told him not to do such stupid things.

No matter how "civilian" Liu Huan is, he is also a "saint", and his brute force alone is enough to strangle himself to death.

General Griffith's electronic eyes flickered, and then he said: "What happens after you take over control? What exactly do you want to do?"

"The main purpose is of course the matrix matrix itself. This is the biggest purpose of my coming here this time." Heiros said: "As for the story behind the coordination factory, my companions and I have investigated it better than you and The Iron Junta wants to go deeper. We know about the existence of the Matrix and have locked in several possibilities. Count Salvin and his coordination factory are one of them."

General Griffith knew that what the other party said was probably not the truth, at least not all the truth.

Heiros added: "However, since you have come here, let's do something big. If we can really take over this legion smoothly, then let's raze this planet to the ground first. After all, we have suffered recently. There are many unintentional disasters. If equal revenge is not taken, there will only be greater troubles in the future."

Major Poppas couldn't understand most of the conversation between these two "robots", but he did understand this sentence. His heart suddenly sank, and he felt like he could smell the strong smell of blood.

"So, you are a snakehead!" A glimmer of light flashed in General Griffith's eyes, and there was an inexplicable meaning hidden in the calm electronic sound.

The other party has already mentioned this. If he can't guess the other party's identity, it will definitely be an IQ problem.

Heiros did not answer, which was of course the acquiescence.

"But do you know that there is more than one psychic on this planet who is more powerful than you?"

"Whether it is Mr. Tantai Jing or Count Seliora, I am far from my opponent. But with the Matrix Legion, it is another matter. Moreover, I only exacted a small revenge on the empire, but it is not Glorious psyker duel of honor.”

At this time, a faint blue arc of light suddenly flashed across the three pairs of metal wings spread out like petals behind Heiros. The light on his mecha jumped happily, then turned his head and said to Griffith: "Don't do anything stupid. General. I have said it before, I have never done anything to be sorry for my colleagues in the Iron Army Complex, and Palladium It’s about my compatriots. I don’t want to make an exception in the last period of time. At this time, you really need to learn from Engineering Officer Zhan Guo.”

The silent and motionless engineering officer lowered his body and continued to disguise himself as a cheap statue.

General Griffith was silent for a while, then raised his hands and even opened the armor plate of the energy core on the rack. This is the meaning of surrendering and giving up resistance in the Pallarian robot culture.
