Chapter 829: Various parties are making unusual moves, and the situation is surging
After a brief exchange, the two reached a preliminary agreement.
King Heng was obviously very wary of this powerful man who suddenly appeared.
He didn't say much about the action plan, just that he would be notified when the action was taken.
Li Yu was not too surprised by this. If the other party had great trust in him without saying anything, he would have doubts about himself.
…
The mechanical lords of the Eternal Civilization gathered together again.
Since Hashar was killed, more than six Mechanical Lords came to the vicinity of the "ruins" to search, but they did not find any useful information.
"Civilization Zero must have discovered something was wrong, and perhaps noticed the Annihilation Device's unusual movements. That guy came out of the 'ruins', and the secrets he holds are very valuable. We must not let him get there first."
A certain Mechanical Lord spoke up.
Another Mechanical Overlord added: "But we can't locate them accurately. Lord-level life forms can converge their own information states, and the [Eternal Core] has also been isolated by the other party in some way, so it is impossible to find them."
"I am using the rules to calculate his position, and there should be results soon." The Ultimate Wisdom spoke.
The mechanical lords nodded one after another: "If we can lock his position, it will be easy to deal with."
"Don't underestimate the enemy!" A dull voice suddenly sounded, and a mechanical lord holding a hammer said: "No one knows what is going on in the 'ruins'. It is isolated from the universe."
"But the enemy has already arrived in this universe and has learned about us through Hashar. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light."
"Moreover, eight lord-level mechanical bodies, plus himself, this number is enough to make us alert."
It is necessary for Eternal Civilization to find out the specific information of the enemy.
As a mechanical and technological civilization, they have always been ahead of their enemies in terms of information.
If they want to declare war on a civilization, hacking into the other party's network system is the first step.
This will plunge the enemy into darkness, but they will appear to have activated a full-map cheat.
However, this trick is useless now, as there is no information about the enemy's specific strength, age, etc.
“I suggest that it is time to explore the ‘ruins’,” he concluded:
"The threat of that rule-entangled area is decreasing day by day, and it is necessary to take risks."
"The radical faction in Civilization Zero has been sending people there continuously in recent years. It is hard to guarantee whether anyone has broken through that area."
His status among the Mechanical Lords seemed to be quite high, causing some of them to fall into deep thought.
The Ultimate Wisdom also emitted a wave: "According to data analysis, the danger level of entering the rule entanglement area at this point in time is still as high as 86%."
"However, due to special circumstances, I have decided to activate the voting mechanism. If the Mechanical Lords agree to explore the ruins of Titan civilization, please vote in favor."
A virtual screen popped up in front of many Mechanical Lords. This was an anonymous vote. No one except the Ultimate Wisdom knew what votes the Mechanical Lords cast.
As the green column continued to rise, it soon surpassed the red column.
"The proposal has been approved. The [Exploration of the Ruins of Titan Civilization] project has been restarted. All mechanical lords are welcome to sign up." The voice of the Ultimate Wisdom was calm:
"Also, design a stop loss line of 20%. Once the number of damaged lord-level mechanical bodies exceeds 20% of the total number, the project will be stopped immediately."
Many Mechanical Lords were discussing this matter and were not surprised by this result.
Li Yu's appearance increased their curiosity about the ruins to an unprecedented level.
They thought that the ruins had always been deserted, but the people who walked out of it slapped them hard.
…
On the other side, in the hall of Civilization Zero, many high-level officials also gathered together.
The system of Civilization Zero is special. Everyone is born with his or her own position. Engineers, medical experts, researchers, soldiers, generals, everything has been planned.
Everyone has his or her own vocation, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Only the "prophets" who communicate directly with the Vessel of Annihilation have a relatively high status.
The idea of using the Device of Annihilation as the pillar of civilization has constrained the entire civilization, and no one has ever objected to this.
But as the Vessel of Annihilation shattered, some thoughts that should not have appeared gradually emerged.
The lower-class citizens believe that the ideological constraints of the past were incorrect and want more freedom.
And because of the previous special system, the current Civilization Zero is only using its strong foundation and strength to forcibly lock the falling apart civilization together.
But the top leaders clearly knew that this situation could not continue, and if a split occurred, Civilization Zero would be swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, the overall division into factions is just a discussion on the future of civilization and an inevitable phenomenon resulting from the birth of selfish desires.
The radicals want to divert internal conflicts with a stronger attitude, that is, to continue to wage war against foreign countries.
Under such circumstances, the internal forces will inevitably condense into a ball under external pressure.
They also advocate the exploration of the "ruins of Titan civilization" because they are their "trophies" after all.
But the conservatives want to repair the Annihilation Device first and restore the state before Civilization Zero, which means "pacify the country before fighting against foreign enemies."
The conservatives are headed by a "prophet", while the radicals have no one who can convince the masses.
Now, they are arguing fiercely because of the collision with the Eternal Civilization some time ago.
"...If you had given us enough support, we would have already explored the ruins of the Titan civilization." The radical said coldly:
"The Eternal Civilization's appearance in that place is definitely not an accident. Something must have happened that we don't know about. Perhaps it is related to the fragments of the Annihilation Device."
A representative of the conservative faction said: "We found a wandering base called Infinite Blazing Sun, and we learned some information from them."
"Hashar, the mechanical lord of the Eternal Civilization, once appeared there and engaged in a fierce battle with an unknown life form."
"As for the results and process, they are not very clear."
"When did the news come out?" The radicals were obviously not informed of the news and were somewhat surprised.
"That unknown life form must be the key. Find a way to find him." The prophet said slowly:
"The restoration of the Annihilation Device is of vital importance. The contradictions within the civilization are irreconcilable. I don't think you would want the inheritance of civilization to be interrupted in our hands."
He had some authority, and even the radicals restrained their emotions.
In fact, for these high-level officials, no matter what form of civilization it is, they are the vested interests.
The Device of Annihilation can bind the lower class, but it cannot bind them.
The reason for factional divisions is simply because there are differences in solving civilization issues.
After all, if they really bring down civilization, then what would they be?
"In addition..." The prophet paused and said, "Put the exploration of the ruins of Titan civilization on the agenda. The rule entanglement area is repairing itself, and its strength has dropped a lot."
"It's time to go in and take a look."
The radicals smiled, and the others were a little surprised, but they also understood that the fragments of the Device of Annihilation really touched the Prophet 's heart.
…
Iron-blooded civilization, secret warehouse screening office.
The long tracks began to move, and a square mechanical device that looked like a small safe was moved in from inside the warehouse.
Soon, the device was transported to the inspection room, which had multiple functions such as space-time stability anchor, electromagnetic interference, energy microwave detection, and resistance to extreme temperatures.
A large number of staff and senior executives stood in front of the safe, operating the virtual screen and checking the information of the item, looking somewhat nervous.
"This is an SSS-level item - Cosmic Essence. The calling procedure has been approved by the head of state and the Supreme Council of Elders. It will be transported to the Three Kings Civilization. The transporter assigned is - General Assad."
"He's already waiting outside, and is undergoing a pre-delivery inspection."
"…There is no problem with the data. The verification is complete. We are now preparing for delivery."
After checking that the permissions, procedures and items were correct, the staff placed the item in a blank warehouse and pressed the confirmation button.
Click…
The next moment, four intelligent robotic arms stretched out from the wall, clamped the safe, and dropped it into the drop-in port on the wall. The cargo pipeline operated quickly and delivered the safe to its destination.
The cargo pipeline network is spread throughout the warehouse, extending in all directions, and a simple magnetic levitation track has been laid.
There are blue indicator lights at intervals, and the process of high-speed transportation of the safe is like traveling through a blue light towards the destination.
At the same time, various defense devices are kept in operation in the transport pipeline at all times to avoid possible dangers.
As the secret warehouse of the Iron-Blooded Civilization, this place is impregnable and any unusual movement will be detected.
Soon, the safe was carried to the end room.
A tall, fully armed figure picked up the safe, pressed the "handover" button on the holographic barrier, and walked straight to the outside world.
…
More than a month later, in a room in the anti-king organization's base, a glowing card floated in Li Yu's hand.
[Special Item—Equipment Upgrade Scroll: After using it on system items, they can be strengthened.
Note: After charging, you can unlock a more advanced form, using "gold coins" as energy, or other items in this universe as a substitute.
For example - objects rich in the origin of the universe, such as source matter and super life forms. 】
Initially, No. 2 and No. 3 were killed at the same time in the DC world. Now they have finally passed the cooling-off period and can be released together some time ago.
He sent them to the [Ready Player One World] and the [Resident Evil World] respectively, and their missions were to [obtain valuable things].
Because it is basically impossible to get anything helpful to him from this kind of world, he can only pin his hopes on the system.
So, it doesn’t matter what you get.
With the current strength of the clones, completing these tasks is no different from drinking water.
It didn't take too long for either of them to complete their mission and return.
[Equipment Upgrade Scroll] is exactly what is obtained from [Ready Player One World].
Li Yu prefers this kind of props with "game" attributes, because they are usually very powerful.
The [Origin Virus] obtained from the [Resident Evil World] is more magical.
[Special item - Progenitor virus: After fusion, it will give the subject a chance for genetic mutation.
Note: It has been detected that the subject's genetic structure is close to perfection, and the gene mutation has been changed to ability conferment. 】
There's obviously some randomness to this stuff.
The first upgrade target of [Equipment Upgrade Scroll] is naturally [Sympathetic Reproduction Equipment].
The help of [Symbiotic Suit] to him is now self-evident, and many props can only be used with the help of [Symbiotic Suit].
However, since the [Equipment Upgrade Scroll] can be charged and transformed, Li Yu is naturally not in a hurry to use it.
After the charged transformation, the effect of [Equipment Upgrade Scroll] will definitely be more powerful.
After coming to this universe, Li Yu discovered that source material seemed to be a "universal asset".
Build weapons, evolve yourself, and even use system items sometimes.
This made him regret a little bit, and he gave part of the source essence to the original Vajras for promotion.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Without the Original King Kong, he would not have been able to get outside the desolate universe belt.
If it really takes a lot of time to slowly devour the source essence, it might take tens of thousands of years.
By that time, perhaps the desolate universe belt will be dismantled.
Things like source matter can always be found in the vast universe.
During these nearly two months, he gradually learned some things.
The original clone of the Three Kings and King Heng was a very unusual life form, originally intended for research purposes only.
The number of clones of the Three Kings Civilization is countless, but only four of them survived.
The other three are the most perfect, while King Heng has flaws and is not valued.
After a long time, the three kings evolved into super life forms, launched a large-scale rebellion, and took over the civilization.
King Heng remained unknown until the three kings began to exploit civilization, exchanging resources accumulated over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years for source materials.
He couldn't bear it, so he created an anti-king organization and wanted to liberate the Three Kings civilization.
This story is good, but Li Yu doesn’t quite believe it. He always feels that there is something fishy going on.
"But it doesn't matter. We each get what we need. As long as it doesn't interfere with me, it's fine." He looked gloomy.
