Chapter 182 Reward Distribution, Mechanical Core
"This is my great-great-great-great-grandfather Liu An."
On the classroom podium, a little girl of seven or eight years old took out a yellowed old photo.
Her two front teeth had just fallen out, so she had a slight lisp when she spoke. She was wearing a long white dress and a long ponytail. She had a pair of sparkling eyes and a sweet smile, and was extremely cute.
The teacher stood nearby with a gentle smile on his face.
The rest of the children in the classroom opened their eyes wide, waiting curiously for the little girl to tell the rest of the story.
The little girl smiled and showed the photo, blinked her big eyes and said, "The man in the middle of the photo is the legendary commander in the history book."
"My great-great-great-great-grandfather Liu An was the fourth on his right. They defeated the robots, and this battle was also recorded in history books. It was our first major victory over robots during the chaotic period..."
The little girl waved the photo, her hands flying, happily sharing the stories of her ancestors with her classmates.
The children in the class also listened very seriously, most of them were concentrating, and the few who were distracted were all imagining what it would be like if they were born in that chaotic era, and whether they could also become legendary commanders?
The atmosphere in the classroom is harmonious and cheerful, and the same is true outside the classroom.
The world outside the window is peaceful and prosperous, high-rise buildings are rising from the ground, energy and food are no longer a problem, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and there is no more war...
But at this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly invaded this world.
"Liu An? Little Liu An? Why are you distracted? What are you thinking about?"
"ah?"
Liu An's body shook, he shook his head, left the fantasy in his mind and returned to the real world.
Lan Guang was next to him and patted his body.
"What's on your mind?" Lan Guang asked him with concern.
"Nothing, just..."
Liu An scratched his head sheepishly and explained, "Sometimes I like to daydream about my future life. I think that hundreds of years later, when the war is over , my descendants will introduce my deeds to their friends."
"Why are you thinking so far ahead?" Lan Guang laughed, "Young people tend to overthink. You know that those are not true, right?"
"Yes, but if my descendants can tell her friends the story now, it means that we have finally overcome all difficulties... and achieved victory..."
Liu An looked into the distance, his mind filled with endless reverie.
An Lan was finally defeated, but after a brief moment of joy and excitement, there was an even more confusing future.
A small victory is not enough to change this racial war. The tens of thousands of mechanical troops are the key factor in dominating the future direction.
Behind An Lan, there is an even more powerful robot, the legendary mechanical master Aifer. Just thinking of his name will make one feel depressed and suffocated.
The surviving members of the North Wind Organization all set out on their journey home, taking the bodies of their dead companions with them.
What remained in the valley, besides the howling head of the Thinker, was a North Wind Battle Flag fluttering in the wind.
"Speed up and enter the dense forest ahead."
Su Xia was still leading the way, even faster than when he came.
According to his calculations, the first batch of scouts from the Mechanical Clan will arrive in half an hour at most, so they must stay away from the battlefield before that.
[Commander's Last Wish: Mission 4 Completed]
[This is the last round of this series of tasks]
[Congratulations, you have successfully graduated. I hope you can lead the North Wind Organization to a brighter future.]
[Task rewards have been issued and can be collected at any time]
[You have obtained a new task "Buried in a Foreign Land", please click to view the task details]
On the way of leading everyone back to the oasis camp, Su Xia received a task reminder that the last wish mission had been successfully completed.
He immediately clicked on the last one to check the new tasks.
[Mission: Buried in a Foreign Land]
[Task Description: Please go to various cities to visit the families of the former Beifeng Organization members who died in battle, and ensure that the families of all members are safe and healthy]
[This task is not mandatory, has no time limit, covers a large area, and can be shared with clones]
[Task requirements: None]
[Mission Phase Reward 1: A set of nanorobots (Level 5)]
[Mission Phase Reward 2: …]
This was the task that Su Xia had originally intended to do.
The original North Wind organization, including combat and logistical support personnel, had a total of more than 1,200 people, most of whom faked their deaths to their families and changed their names in the wilderness.
They did this, of course, in order not to implicate their families in the city.
But every once in a while, they would ask for leave and return to the city, secretly check on their families in secret to make sure they were living safely and healthily, and then return to the wilderness.
Now that they are all dead, the previous commander would definitely take on this responsibility.
The nanorobot rewarded as a mission was a fifth-order equipment, and Su Xia was currently using a fourth-order equipment, which gave him some anticipation.
He clicked on the rewards column to check all the rewards for the Commander's Last Wish mission.
In the first grid of the reward column is a small silver-white hollow metal ball. It is hard to tell what it is used for just by looking at its appearance.
【Name: Mechanical Core】
[Level: No level]
[Type: auxiliary items]
【Description: A key】
[It comes from the starry sky and belongs to a special mechanical empire. Activate it to gain control of the corresponding mechanical spacecraft.]
This is actually a spaceship key?
Su Xia took it out, and suddenly there was a fist-sized hollow metal ball in his hand.
Its appearance is very similar to the ghost ball on Earth, with balls inside balls, layer upon layer, and the surface of each layer is covered with exquisite and complex patterns, and they can all rotate.
The one in Su Xia's hand has at least ten layers. If you don't look at the description, it's just a valuable handicraft.
"The robot's idea is different. It can actually make the key like this."
Su Xia weighed it. It was very light. She wondered what alloy material it was made of.
[Do you want to activate this mechanical core? ]
[After activation, you will have the authority to control the spacecraft corresponding to the core]
Su Xia doesn’t have a spaceship now, so it seems useless to activate this thing.
But he still decided to give it a try, so he clicked "Yes" and waited expectantly.
But after waiting for a long time, the core did not respond at all, and none of the scenes Su Xia imagined appeared.
"Ah, that's probably what it feels like to find the keys to a sports car but not own the car."
Su Xia didn't think too much about it and put the little thing away casually, planning to study it in detail when she had time in the future.
But just at that moment, different reactions appeared in certain areas of the continent.
…
In the center of the continent, there is a silver-white city built entirely of cold metal.
The legendary mechanical master Eifel rests here.
This place seems like a transcendental kingdom in mythology. Everything walking on the streets, flying in the sky, and swimming in the rivers are actually mechanical creatures.
Half a minute ago, the whole city suddenly shook violently, as if some horrible monster was rolling underground.
"quack--"
A group of silver-white mechanical crows were startled and flapped their wings to take off, flying over the city. The unpleasant sound echoed in the city for a long time.
…
At the same time, the same tremor occurred in Coral City, far southwest of the continent.
The residents in the city were terrified, thinking it was an earthquake, and ran out of their homes.
Under the base of the Mechanical Tribe, Yu Tuo asked Moser in a cold tone: "What else is there under the Coral City? Even I can't know?"
"Many things are not yet the time for you to know."
Moser closed his eyes and stopped responding to Yu Tuo, as if he was in contact with someone.
Yu Tuo didn't ask any more questions and just stood quietly aside.
He knew very well that this matter involved the highest secrets of the mechanical race, and someone like him who was not born a mechanical race would never be able to access it without permission.
At this time, the only one who could get in touch with Mercer was the mechanical master Eifer.
After a while, Moser slowly opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, and said to Yu Tuo beside him: "Do you know why my race was able to defeat the two huge races, the human race and the Zerg race, in a short period of twenty years?"
Yu Tuo replied: "Because our race is most suitable for the psychic evolution route?"
“That’s just one of the reasons.”
Mercer held his cane and spoke in a steady voice: "The technological level of the human race should not be underestimated. In the early stages of the war, our race was always at a disadvantage and was once in danger of extinction. Fortunately, those human arms dealers were too greedy and wanted to prolong the war."
"The reason why we designed many warriors to look like humans is to adapt to human weapons and do everything we can to gain a glimmer of hope for our race..."
"Until that day, we suddenly found something deep underground..."
What Mercer is telling is one of the most core secrets of the mechanical race.
Many people now forget that in the early stages of the war, the Mechanical Race was the passive party and was besieged in several small cities for a long time.
Yu Tuo asked, "What did you find?"
"A gift from the stars!"
Mercer's expression was solemn. He slowly raised his hand. The metal surface on his palm faded away, and several light blue rays of light shot out, gradually interweaving into the prototype of a special object.
This thing seemed to be a part of some giant mechanical creation. It was badly damaged and had signs of breakage at both ends.
"You always ask me why the most important experimental project in the entire southwest region is placed here." Mercer continued, "In terms of geographical location, Coral City is indeed not the best city in the southwest, but there is something ."
In the palm of his hand, the virtual model has already taken shape.
It was a cylindrical mechanical object, charred on the outside and hollow on the inside. Countless exposed wires and pipes could be clearly seen, as well as a large number of damaged display screens.
Yu Tuo was so smart that he immediately thought of the question: "Spaceship wreckage?"
"Yes, you should also know something about the threats above the stars."
Moser clenched his palm into a fist, and the projection on his palm disappeared instantly.
"It was through reverse research on these debris that our race was able to reverse the disadvantage and eventually defeat the human race to become the overlord of this planet."
