Rubbish protagonist, I can do it too!

Chapter 249 Skynet System

The next day, the deserted outskirts of the city of Zion.

Hall led Rick to a towering building. The building stood quietly and stood out among a group of low buildings. There were no windows visible on the smooth and flat walls, and there was only an entrance made of alloy doors.

This building is one of the highest technological achievements of the Ex-Machina. Its defense level can block the sky strikes of the Flügel. It is basically impossible to break through this place unless the Divinity takes action.

However, the building's defense is not designed to protect against threats from the outside.

The thickness of the alloy gate is at least one meter, and one needs to go through layers of security checks and screenings to enter the interior. What makes Rick feel unbelievable is that the building does not look very large from the outside, and the internal space is at least a hundred times the size of the surface.

The two walked in the dim tunnel, Hall saw Rick's doubts, and explained: "The building is only the entrance, and this is a different space built by the Ex-Machines. Because of the characteristics of this space, there is no concept of matter, and reality is here. The boundary between virtual and virtual will become blurred.”

"The boundary between reality and virtuality?"

Hall said: "Yes, this was originally a laboratory used to materialize the existence in the virtual reality world."

Rick can barely understand the meaning of Hall's words. He can also be regarded as an anthropologist. After meeting Shubi, he can get more knowledge from Shubi, but there is still a big gap between him and Hall.

Not long after, the two walked out of the tunnel and stepped into another city. Unlike Zion City, this city was extremely lively, with people coming and going everywhere, and it was peaceful.

Rick felt as if he had come to a whole new world, the hustle and bustle of the streets made him feel at a loss, the glass of tall buildings made him feel dizzy, and he watched pedestrians pass by him blankly.

He turned his head, only to find that the tunnel that came here had changed.

"Crack~"

Hall snapped his fingers, and everything was silent, and time stood still for a moment.

"Here?" Rick asked ramblingly.

"Director 3 Deep World [Shifting Soul City], there is only one day in this world forever, and in the early morning, the consciousness of all residents here will be reset back to one day before. It is one of the laboratories used to test the influence of the virtual reality world on human consciousness. One." Hall explained calmly.

Rick's eyes gradually became cold, and he continued to lock his heart, convincing himself that the conscious bodies here are not human beings.

In fact, the conscious body here is no different from real human beings.

Hall took Rick into a taxi and ordered, "YUKI, go to the bar."

The driver of the taxi was YUKI in uniform, she nodded expressionlessly and started the taxi.

More than ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a narrow and deep alley. After entering, I saw a staircase leading underground and a thick and simple wooden door.

Hall pushed the door open and entered, and time flowed again. To be more precise, only the time in this bar was different from the outside world.

The spacious and luxurious interior of the bar is in sharp contrast with the narrow entrance. The dim lights reflect the luster of the wine on the shelves, and the air is filled with the smell of alcohol.

The seats are full of people. Should we call them people?Rick swore he had never seen such a weird scene.

Humans wearing the same armor as the Ex-Machina and an old man in gray robes were drinking. A human skeleton was dancing on the bar, and the dazzling lights reflected the white color of the bones.

There is also a body covered in armor but burning with flames, which can almost be used as a light source in a bar.

Scenes of grotesque scenes are like piecing together all the races in the real world, giving people a sense of absurdity out of reality.

This bar is one of those staging points for all virtual reality worlds.

All eyes focused on Hall in an instant, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Hall nodded to the boss: "YUKI, old rules."

YUKI, who didn't know when he put on the bartender uniform, nodded and gave Hall a glass of warm milk.

It's real milk, the kind without any added vegetables.

"Hey, BOSS, is this the captain you're talking about?" A cowboy came over and asked with a smile.

Hall nodded: "From now on, you will obey him, even if you are sent to die, you must execute it."

"It's really strict. Forget it. After all, I have already received the reward. After all, doesn't he have any ability? Will he not become a burden to the task?"

"He is different from you, he is a human being in the real world."

Rick said indifferently: "Don't worry, if I become a burden, I will automatically leave the team. This is my principle."

The cowboy was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Good eyes."

The cowboy greeted the surrounding crowd: "Hey, old hunter, salary king, Assassin, onion, but come to meet our captains? He is quite an interesting person."

You guys are interesting enough.

Seeing their looks, Rick couldn't complain, and turned around and asked, "Hall, who are they?"

"Elite humans from different worlds, and even in the real world, can be connected to the elf corridor through the special network built by the Ex-Machina species, and exert their original strength. Although they cannot match the upper races, they should be able to help a lot."

Rick frowned and thought, squinting his eyes and asked: "Hall, this technology can't be used on humans? It feels a bit similar to the spiritual equipment of goblins."

Possession of this technology means that humans can also use magic, thereby shedding the weakest identities.

"No problem in theory, it's still in the exploratory stage."

"Are there any other expedition teams besides me?"

"In addition, you have a total of three expedition teams, which may increase in the future."

"Too little." Rick frowned.

"This is the limit of what can be done now. Considering the harsh environment outside, we should pay more attention to quality than quantity." Hall patted Rick on the shoulder: "Then they will be handed over to you. What's the matter?" If you don't understand, ask about the watch on your wrist."

Hall turned and left the bar.

······

In the afternoon, Hall came out of the laboratory and said casually, "YUKI, is Rick leaving?"

YUKI responded in a cold voice: "It left Zion City two hours ago. It is currently 3611354.3 meters away from Zion City and is heading to the first installation point on the east side of the Lucia continent."

Hall asked again: "Satellite [Skynet]."

YUKI reported: "Pre-launch preparations have been completed, are you going to the control room?"

"let's start."

The satellite [Skynet] is a device created to strengthen the influence of the Ex-Machina, with the purpose of allowing the Ex-Machina's abilities to be maximized in every corner of the world.

Previously, the Ex-Machina had always been passively defensive, and the technology mastered by the Ex-Machina was nothing more than reaction devices accumulated over countless years.

It's like a human being holds a gun, and in the face of external threats, he only uses the gun in his hand as a stick.

When the Ex-Machina learns the mind from humans and learns to evolve, it means the bullets are loaded.

The satellite [Skynet] is one of the bullets. Its uses include information exchange, intelligence collection, strategic weapons, etc. It is also the first step for the Ex-Machina to take the initiative to evolve.

After the order was issued, Hall's consciousness was sent to a pitch-black world, and immediately the framework of the world began to be constructed around him, turning into a command room in the blink of an eye.

There are about a hundred Ex-Machinas floating in different positions, with a uniform expressionless face, 30 analytical bodies, 20 observation bodies, and 50 combat bodies.

[Skynet] is composed of one connecting body, a total of one hundred units.

The Ex-Machines spoke one after another.

"Spatial coordinate positioning."

"The subspace channel has been constructed."

"The information concealment system is activated."

"The elf immune defense layer is deployed."

"Functional."

"Track calculation."

······

All the information was presented, all the instructions were issued, and after the final calculation was completed, the virtual space fell into silence again, waiting for Hall's order.

"Master." Yuki said.

"Is there anything else missing?"

"According to calculations of the entire connector, launching the satellite [Skynet] will cause 12.5th power elf fluctuations with a coefficient of 24."

Hall frowned: "A lot?"

"It is easy to be discovered by races with high adaptability of elves."

"Can't hide?"

YUKI shook his head: "This is the calculated value after concealment."

Hall thought about it for a moment, then tilted his lips and revealed a strange smile: "Go on, if someone really comes to stop it, whether it is a superior race or a god race, it is also a good choice to use it to establish prestige."

"clear."

[Skynet] is equipped with the most cutting-edge armed system of Ex-Machinas. According to YUKI's calculations, its power is several times stronger than that of Yanlong, one of the three kings of Dragon Elves, and it completely crushes Elves. The [Void Zero Protection] and the Goblin's [Marrow Explosion].

This is the power of the Ex-Machines, so even if the existence of humans is exposed, there will be no problem. At most, other clans will think that humans have gotten lucky and embraced the thighs of the Ex-Machines.

In fact, after Rick set off, Hall was also planning to reveal the existence of human beings to the world.

First, it can attract other human settlements living in the Lucia continent and increase the population of Zion City.

Secondly, it was also to provide convenience for the expedition team and to scare Xiao Xiao.

The movement of setting up the [Divine Essence Refining Device] is not small, and with the special elf reaction of the Ex-Machina, it is impossible not to be discovered by other races.

Announcing to the world that the Ex-Machinas and humans have teamed up, those races who want to take action against the human expedition team have to weigh their own weight, whether they can withstand the revenge of the Ex-Machinas.

Ex-Machinas are no longer reactive, but directed by others.

If someone makes trouble while launching the satellite [Skynet], wouldn't that be the best opportunity to establish one's authority?

In fact, Hall almost guessed the most likely development next.

Strategic weapons similar to [Skynet] have not been developed by other races, and the Goblin's [Marrow Explosion] and the Elves' [Void Zero Protection] are one of them.

Earlier, before the concept of [Void Zero Protection] was put forward, the elves and fairies jointly developed a powerful magic, the effect of which was to control all fantasy species, even the Flügel was no exception.

At the final stage of completing the technique, the Flügel heard the news from somewhere and attacked the forest where the elves lived. Due to the desperate strength gap, the elves were almost massacred one-sidedly.

The elf city where Rick and Hubie met was the ruins of that great war.

Launching [Skynet] is not launching a rocket like a conventional method, but directly locating the coordinates outside the planet, appearing through space, and then completing the construction of [Skynet] through the ability of the Ex-Machinas.

The only ones who have the ability to stop it are [Flügels].

······

The outer side of the planet's atmosphere, from here you can overlook the entire azure planet, only some areas are shrouded in gray-white clouds.

呲味味味味味~

In the void, a streak of blue thunder jumped, flashing faster and faster, becoming more and more dazzling, and suddenly exploded, leaving behind a white ball of light.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of iron and steel material was formed, breaking through the white light ball and constructing it on the void.

In less than 10 minutes, the continuously generated steel buildings stopped and formed a silently suspended ring about the size of a football field.

This is the core of the [Skynet] system, which monitors the planet 24 hours a day, builds information channels for the Ex-Machines, and is also the most important core of the [Spirit Essence Synthesis] device.

Hall's consciousness is temporarily integrated with [Skynet], and his consciousness can observe the universe through [Skynet]'s intelligence collection device, and be amazed by the vastness of the universe.

Hall sighed: "YUKI, this universe is just a bit of power flowing from the star cup, whether human beings or gods, even the planets are just the dust of this universe, and the universe is just one side of the star cup. It is inevitable that all the gods will be crazy about the star cup."

"I can't understand it for now."

Hearing YUKI's cold answer, Hall smiled, his mind moved slightly, and the picture in front of him suddenly changed, focusing on the surface of the moon.

It can be seen that countless craters appear to have been formed by meteorites. These scars on the moon are caused by stray bullets from interplanetary wars. Currently, the moon does not have a complete ecosystem, so it will not be able to recover after millions of years.

What interests Hall, though, are the signs of civilization that can be seen in these lunar scars, with cities dotted here and there.

The picture continued to zoom in and capture, all the cities on the moon were destroyed by stray bullets, and there was no human habitation.

YUKI said: "From the analysis of the architectural features, these city ruins should belong to the moon-song species. The last record we have about the moon-song species is 2465124 years ago. The attack released by the fantasy species hit the moon, causing half of the moon-song species to die. The population was wiped out, and since then, the Moon Wings have moved to live on the backside of the moon."

This is a model of being shot while lying down!None survived on the moon.

Hall is funny and pitiful, but he would rather move to the back side of the moon where it is more likely to be hit by meteorites than live on the front side facing the earth, which is enough to prove the cruelty of world war.

"Report, detected a number of unusual elf reactions approaching at high speed, expected to encounter in five seconds." YUKI suddenly reported.

Still here.

"What race."
