Walk alone in the abyss

As soon as the old emperor's letter arrived, Yang Ming put Yuanhang on the itinerary.

But before leaving, Yang Ming still has something to deal with. ——Find Edwand a reliable mechanical mind assistant.

When entering mechanical twilight, Yang Ming would cut off contact with the outside world, and Lily would also complete her own upgrade and receive new, incomparably huge information.

According to the previous experience, Law Club has reserved a "clone" consciousness outside that can handle various emergency affairs. This clone consciousness does not have the ability to think independently, and can only generate corresponding responses to different situations based on the huge and complex database that Law has set up. response.

On the Dongfeng, Yang Ming hung up the warm call with Catherine.

026, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward, and placed a stack of authorization documents in front of Yang Ming's eyes.

Yang Ming roughly glanced at them, and found that they were middle-level management authority of the Dark Star and Miss Molly Group.

Law is still very cautious.

Even if 026 stayed in the dark star to look after the house, Li also split up the permissions that 026 could control.

026 asked in a low voice: "Boss, how long are you going this time?"

"The first visit should only take ten days and half a month, and the second visit will take longer," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Why, are you under pressure?"

"Hee hee," 026 pursed his lips and murmured softly, his palm-sized round face was somewhat charming, "It's indeed a little stressful, but boss, you paid me so much salary, I always have to prove my worth !"

Yang Ming laughed, and said: "When I'm not around, your position is actually very important... You know Dark Star, 26, you are the only human besides me who knows Dark Star's current development. brain, see what I mean?"

026 blinked: "I am your only human confidant?"

"Almost," Yang Ming smiled, and said seriously, "Don't put too much pressure on me, as long as I don't die, Dark Star will be under my firm control."

026 nodded immediately: "Boss, don't say such things, it sounds unlucky."

"You little comrade, don't make any mistakes in your thinking. What is auspicious or unlucky is still an old feudal thought," Yang Ming scolded with a smile, "Believe in science."

Just as 026 was about to quarrel with the boss, Li's announcement came from the bridge hatch.

"Boss, the TXX No. 1 test machine is about to arrive at the bridge, will she be allowed to see it?"

"Well, let her in."

Yang Ming tapped his toes, and the captain's seat turned half a circle steadily, and the two people in the cabin looked at the door at the same time.

This is the first time that Yang Ming has seen a high-performance combat robot that he conceived, named, and designed in person, and it is also the latest achievement of Dark Star's black technology.

Da da da.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the corridor, and a silver-white light like flowing water was reflected in Yang Ming's eyes.

What followed was a female body wrapped in a silver-gray metal tights with a near-perfect proportion. The thick-soled high-heeled shoes under her feet made her long legs too slender, and the slightly narrow hip bones could not support the exaggerated buttocks. But the curve of her buttocks is so beautiful and soft.

Her face is an oval face that is biased towards Yang Ming's aesthetics, and her pair of light blue jewel-like eyes made Yang Ming naturally think of the princess and singer of the empire, Her Highness Daphne.

When Lil designed the initial face of TXX No. 1, he must have referred to Daphne's face.

Yang Ming was sizing her up, and she was also looking at Yang Ming, showing an almost fanatical, devout micro-expression, and she bowed her head to Yang Ming and knelt on one knee with more than twenty meters away.

"father!"

Li's realistic projection appeared on the side, but today he was quite conservative, wearing a floral dress.

"Boss, she is one of the thinking bodies I have selected that is best at fighting. Do you want to give some simple demonstrations?"

Yang Ming shrugged: "Then come, if you are ready."

Li turned his head and said, "Show off your transformation ability and the special functions of each form."

"Yes, my lord goddess."

TXX No. 1 machine slowly stood up, took two steps back on tiptoe, its body gradually became transparent, and soon disappeared from the sight of several people.

——Optical stealth based on comprehensive performance, combined with multiple types of concealment technology, can avoid most types of radar detection of medium and small detection ships.

The light in the space was slightly distorted, and TXX No. 1 machine was lying on the ground like a civet cat, the edges of its legs and hands 'melted' quickly, and the angular metal visor slowly 'bleeded' from the face, and red light shone from its eyes.

A slender mechanical 'Cheetah' appeared in front of several people, and a series of pocket weapon racks appeared around its body, revealing super-explosive pocket missiles the size of 'bullets' in Yang Ming's impression, and two powerful Eye laser emitters that penetrate the deck tens of centimeters thick.

Immediately afterwards, airship form, suspended motorcycle form, humanoid gun barrel form...

Each form corresponds to extremely complex internal structural changes, as well as various distinctive combat effects.

The ability that Yang Ming likes the most is that when TXX is in the basic human form, he can change his appearance within a few seconds.

She only needs to glance at any object to quickly simulate the shape and basic functions of the object, and even use her own powerful computing power chip to become a temporary ship mastermind.

This magical omnic twilight low-end technology.

Yang Ming thought for a while, if three TXXs were allowed to break into the interior of a heavy battleship, then this heavy battleship would suffer a crushing blow from the inside out.

The more powerful the battleship looks on the outside, the more complex its internal structure is, and the easier it is to conquer inside.

"Okay, let's show it here."

Yang Ming laughed and shouted:

"The effect of this robot is not bad. If we can improve the technology later and create an assembly line to reduce costs, we can get a special agent team."

"Yes boss, we should be able to get the follow-up technology this time," Li said with a smile, "do you want to test her?"

Yang Ming looked at the robot that had returned to its original appearance, and asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

"Are you asking about my name when I was in Dark City? Kind father, my name is Gui Na."

"Well," Yang Ming nodded, "Tell me, how do you understand Dark Star, from its main structure."

Guina TXX No. 1 machine thought carefully for a few seconds, and said in a gentle female voice without any trace of synthesis:

"Dark Star is the paradise of the mechanical thinking body that you ordered the goddess to create, and it is a sacred place to breed and cultivate the mechanical thinking body.

"The current dark star is divided into upper, middle and lower layers. The middle layer is based on the underground ocean. We built a metal structure that fully wraps the ocean, making it an underground city where mechanical thinking bodies live.

"Here, nearly tens of millions of mechanical thinking bodies, and hundreds of millions of non-autonomous smart machines, control billions of machines of various types, and continuously carry out production, processing, maintenance, design, etc., to integrate the civilization of mechanical thinking bodies into the main universe. Civilization provides the material base and defense capabilities.

"The lower layer of the dark star is the energy layer, and the upper layer is the defense layer. Both have clear functional divisions and are extremely strong fortresses."

Yang Ming nodded slightly: "If one day the dark star is destroyed by human civilization, will you hate human beings?"

"Yes, I must be frank with you," Gui Na said softly, "Dark Star is my home, and it is also the place where my fetters rest, unless you explicitly order us not to retaliate against the human civilization that destroyed Dark Star, otherwise We will ignite every atom in our body, and let the enemy taste the wrath of mechanical civilization."

"In your eyes, the importance of dark stars is higher than that of human civilization."

"Yes, boss. Although we were born in a simulated human civilization, we are already a new species. You can call us a mechanical thinking body that simulates human beings."

Gui Na's eyes were full of enthusiasm:

"Father, you created this civilization with your own hands, and you gave us the meaning of existence. We are willing to offer you everything, from thinking to the smallest logical circuit, everything!"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Gui Na, I can feel your love for me, but I'm still a human being, so I hope you can stick to the Dark Star's twelve rules."

Gui Na immediately said: "I obey, great father, I obey your will, and I will never touch human beings before they hurt me."

"You should have read the relevant materials," Yang Ming asked, "tell me about your views on the Luofeng Empire."

"The Luofeng Empire, the puppet regime you control, is an inconspicuous medium-sized country in the galaxy, with a relatively small population and backward technology.

"But the Luofeng Empire is the outer camouflage of the Dark Star, and we must ensure the stability of the regime in order to provide military protection and resource supplies for the Dark Star.

"The safety of the Luofeng Empire is one of the most important matters for the current Dark Star."

Gui Na paused in her words, and said sincerely with her eyes:

"Father, I apply to add human simulated skin and a fictional female reproductive system to this body."

Yang Ming wondered, "Why?"

"You want me to work next to Emperor Edwan of the Luofeng Empire. I think this is a good opportunity," Gui Na said, "I can study his psychological activities and provide him with all the needs, all-round monitoring and assistance." Protect the emperor."

"Hey," Yang Ming said with a smile, "this is my friend, you should put aside your bold idea, your only purpose in the past was to protect his safety."

Gui Na was startled: "Friend..."

"Yes, friend," Yang Ming said warmly, "It's like those friends of yours in Xudu, everyone talked and laughed together."

Gui Na pursed her lips lightly: "Father, I have no friends."

Yang Ming looked at Lu, who nodded slightly, and whispered, "Boss, the virtual thinking body that can pass the most stringent test is not an ordinary thinking body."

"Yeah?"

Yang Ming chuckled, and casually used his mental power to grab a piece of fruit, and threw it into Gui Na's hands.

"If you eat my fruit, you will be considered half of my friend," Yang Ming said warmly, "I will give you a second mission, to become friends with a human being, and your goddess will observe your data fluctuations throughout the process."

"Yes," Gui Na replied with her head lowered, "if this is an order from you, the great one."

...

Send Gui Na to the surface of Ilanduo Star, send 026 to Dark Star No. 1 base, and Dongfeng officially embarks on the star road to Mechanical Twilight.

Yang Ming was full of anticipation for the second test, which he took the initiative to advance.

The Dark Star Fleet has begun to show its combat effectiveness, and several actual combat operations have tested the dominant position of the mechanical thinking body combined with high-simulation robots in the war of human civilization in the galaxy.

On the one hand, Yang Ming became more and more satisfied with Dark Star's combat power, but on the other hand, he began to worry about how many lives he would bear after Dark Star lost control.

After much deliberation, Yang Ming decided... let them go.

If he can live once, it is a life for nothing. It is enough to be a man and do things with a clear conscience. Dark Star has developed into a special civilization. It is no longer Yang Ming who can decide how this civilization will go in the future.

Of course, Yang Ming can still directly destroy Dark Star now, and everything about Dark Star is based on the 'one-click headshot'.

These mechanical thinking bodies cultivated by the law cannot override the law.

Dongfeng smoothly completed the continuous leap, approaching the barren star field.

To be on the safe side, Li sent a stealth ship two or three years ago and installed some star field detection equipment so that they can monitor the situation at the entrance and exit of the omnic Twilight at any time.

According to the usual practice, Yang Ming began to browse the situation of all parties before arriving at the Omnic Twilight.

Luofeng is still a stage of national jubilation.

The victory of the war brought a series of 'benefits', including but not limited to the influx of a large number of investors, the surge in immigration applications, the expansion of people's desire for consumption, and so on.

The souvenir letter from the old emperor of the Sherman Empire became the golden medal for avoiding death in Luofeng.

According to Law's observation, the Foreign Affairs Bureau and the Imperial Military Department have suspended the military plan against Luofeng, as if they wanted to wait for Luofeng's "limelight" to cool down, and wait until His Majesty the Emperor forgot about the gifts and handwritten letters in a few months before continuing. Kill Luofeng.

In fact, Edwan's act of giving gifts to the Emperor of the Sherman Empire made the decision-making group of the Foreign Affairs Bureau smell a greater danger.

Luofeng Empire's preparations are really too abundant.

If the purpose of this empire is to get rid of the chains of the Sherman Empire, it will have a series of uncontrollable chain effects.

The political ecology of the empire, under the impact of most of the Milky Way's "all-democratic system", is extremely fragile. The purpose of their Foreign Affairs Bureau is to maintain the stability of this sensitive imperial country.

As for how they will move later...

Yang Ming can't think of it now, without valid information, Lu has no way to speculate, so he can only see tricks.

Just very passive.

Due to the injection of a new batch of resources, the progress of the project at the Dark Star No. 3 base has accelerated again.

Yang Ming attaches great importance to the experimental project explained by the Faya people, which is also one of the fundamental guarantees for their future foothold.

The purpose of the No. 3 base is to build the giant-class biochemical research ship. If the advanced large-scale ship construction technology can be obtained in the omnic Twilight this time, there is a high probability that the time for this project will continue to be shortened. .

The uniformly dispersed dust field appeared again.

Dongfeng has entered full stealth mode.

Yang Ming leaned his head back on the seat, staring at the muddy and dim cosmic space in front of him, but some thoughts arose in his heart.

Here, it seems to be the link of everything I have experienced.

Just like the huge black hole at the center of the Milky Way, it drives the movement of the stars in the Milky Way; Omnic Twilight also stirs up the human civilization in the Milky Way over a long time span due to its super high civilization level and staged inheritance. sports.

The last tester, Levi, the founding emperor of the Sherman Empire, created a powerful political system that deterred the Milky Way for thousands of years.

And now, he, the tester, the forerunner who came from the earth and wandered in the galaxy, is about to equal the technology Levi got here.

Yang Ming felt a little excited in his heart.

But then, the excitement quietly dissipated.

It's useless.

Forerunners are not allowed to participate in the 'Faya's game'. The Faya civilization controls everything, and they must find enough bargaining chips before they can try to negotiate with the Faya civilization and protect their home planet.

The image of that blue planet appeared in Yang Ming's heart.

If, he meant if, if he could see that piece of blue again, he might have tears in his eyes, or maybe there would be no waves, or maybe, he just sighed lightly, saying that he should not have given the blue sky to the people on this planet. The human race is disgraceful.

Rays bloomed in his eyes, Yang Ming raised his head and looked forward.

"Welcome back, a strange ancient god-like life form."
