Chapter 2176: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (14)

If anyone were to look into some dark corner in the eastern part of the warehouse, they might see a small bubble of air distorting at the pace of a normal person's walk, even though the scenery in the corner ------ no different from the walls, the shelves with supplies, or the dusty ------floors.

It was actually a Silverwing monster with the optical camouflage system turned on, sneaking around hunched.

If anyone sees this "bubble" that distorts the air at this time and thinks about it carefully, they may find that something is wrong and start to be vigilant.

Unfortunately, the guards present, including the first-generation androids and the turrets that were scanning back and forth from the ceiling, could not have the intelligence to figure out the problem, and when they saw the occasional flash of the bubble, they would at best think that it was just a noise captured by their surveillance camera, and immediately forget about it.

Before this, Palamedis had learned from the information given by the rebels that the first generation of androids made by the academy were no different from the most ordinary golems. The core of the golem that drives them is an extremely rudimentary prop, which is basically given the simplest command, and it is just executed according to that command.

The second-generation androids created by the academy are a level higher, in addition to having [mimic outfits], which can be dressed in a biochemical skin that is no different from human skin after delicate makeup and plastic surgery, they are also endowed with more advanced artificial intelligence, with more complex thinking and richer ideas.

But this second-generation android is still essentially a golem-level thing, and the interior is still a robot supported by a metal skeleton. (Some second-generation androids created for stealth operations will even use lighter wooden bodies, but wooden bodies are less durable and more expensive, making them not suitable for mass production.) ）

The second-generation androids created by the Academy also have a very evil branch, which is the golem core made from the souls of human children, as mentioned earlier. In recent years, the academy has been abducting street children from all over Africa, dismantling the children's bodies and putting only soul-like things into special golem cores. This particular Golem Core is more sophisticated than other second-generation android Golem Cores, and can receive more complex commands, after all, a human soul is imprisoned inside. By definition, a second-generation android made of a golem core containing a human soul can even be called a 2.5th generation android.

But there are actually more advanced third-generation androids in the Academy. The body is completely flesh and blood, and no one can tell the difference between the third-generation android and the real human, only the academy itself knows the secret. The third generation of artificial humans is said to have been cultured from petri dishes using embryonic cells. But so far, no one has seen the production process of the third-generation android.

Until now.

Palamides, who had sneaked for most of the distance and had almost successfully left this artificial field, just turned his head to look at it, and was dumbfounded.

The machines in the workshop are being made by the third generation of androids.

The previous rumors were all lies, where is the third-generation android bred from embryos. The technology of the academy is very advanced, they even use a robotic arm to put together a pre-made skeleton on a disc the size of a human body, and then use suffocating 3D printing technology to print muscles and internal organs on this skeleton, and then use the technology of mimicry to coat the already flesh-and-blood body with a layer of biochemical skin, and thus piece together a [human]. The bones of the third-generation android appear to be high-strength carbon-calcium compounds, which are more flexible than ordinary human bones. Muscle tissue is made of highly elastic carbon fiber, which is more than 10 times that of human muscle. I can't understand the internal organs and other parts, but in short, they are all higher specifications than humans. The third-generation android assembled in this way is naturally stronger than humans in terms of physical strength and physical structure, much stronger, and the appearance after plastic surgery is almost the same as that of humans!

The Academy is now creating a large number of such third-generation androids, allowing them to slowly infiltrate human society. It's terrifying to think about, if more than half of the people in human society are replaced by this kind of artificial human beings in the future, what will the world become? ?

However, after seeing this scene, Palamides also suddenly had another idea.

He slipped over quickly, finally slipping past the large android fabrication and hiding in the shadows of the shelves of a small warehouse at the end before the optical camouflage effect of the Blade Monster suit had passed.

"Preston, are you still there?" asked Palamides as he turned on the communicator.

"It's okay, don't mess with the communicator, even the military encrypted line is not 100% secure. Preston said with a little dissatisfaction, "What's the matter?"

"I changed my mind. Not only do I want the Academy's [Mimic Exterior] technology, but I also want them to build third-generation androids. Can you give it all to us?"

This time, there was complete silence on the Preston side.

After about ten minutes, the other side asked faintly, "What do you want to do with this dangerous technology?"

"It's the same reason I wanted to get the mimic outfit in the first place. There's a kid on my side who was a victim of the Academy, who has lost his body and has been crafted into a Golem core. Originally, I was going to make a golem and then plate the body of the Golem with [Mimic Clothing] to make him look like a [human]. But after seeing the technology of the third generation of androids, I was convinced that this was what I wanted. Set the boy free, and give him a flesh and blood body. ＂

"You're a nice guy, Mr. Blade Monster. Preston sarcastically said, "But you're thinking too simply. Not to mention the compatibility between the Gen 2.5 Golem Core and this Flesh Golem body. Even if you can solve the compatibility problem, you will definitely not be able to come up with the same 3D printing equipment as the academy to create this kind of flesh golem body. ＂

"After occupying this workshop, you just dismantled the equipment here and sent it to me, can't you?" asked the big cat again.

"The equipment of the academy has a built-in protection program, and when it is removed, its software and chips are all burned, leaving no technical data for analysis. This level of data protection is necessary in order to prevent technology leakage. We have good hackers on our side, and the technology of [Mimic Externals] may be able to steal it from their hosts, but you should die for the highly encrypted and protected data of the third-generation android manufacturing technology. ＂

"Tsk. The leopard warrior snorted, no more way.

"But," Preston continued, "if it's just to prepare a body of a Flesh Golem for a person, we can recover a small body of a Flesh Golem from this workshop for you to use." We don't guarantee that the body will be compatible with the Gen 2.5 Golem Core you have in your hand, or that it will last long. We're just shogging it for you and we're not going to take care of it, okay?"

Palamides also thought for a moment: "That's fine. ＂

"In the future, if that flesh golem's body is broken and can no longer be used, you won't come to us for trouble, right?"

"No, it won't. Palamides said again.

"Okay, that's it. Preston is indeed a businessman, and at this time he is still talking about the conditions in a businessman-like tone: "Since you have made us do more work, then I want to ask you to do more extra work, just for the sake of fairness." ＂

"Say whatever you want. The leopard warrior readily agreed, "I've infiltrated this workshop, and the result is not to take down the entire workshop and give it to you." ＂

"Well," Preston said, "there should theoretically be a person in this android workshop who has been researching and developing android technology for many years, and who is closely monitoring the android production line in the workshop." That man was Dr. Virgil, one of the authorities in the Academy's android production department. I want you to capture this man alive. ＂

"What does it mean to be captured alive...... If you don't sound the alarm, arrest him?"

"That's right. Dr. Virgil is in compliance with Level 1 security protocols, and if the base alarm goes off, he will be one of the first researchers to escape, and you won't even be able to see him if he is captured alive. The only way to capture Dr. Virgil alive is to find him without the alarm sounding throughout the operation, and knock him unconscious before he escapes using the hidden passage. ＂

"It can be difficult...... Palamides snorted.

"After capturing him alive and interrogating him, maybe we can really get some of the third generation of android crafting technology from Dr. Virgil, isn't that exactly what you want?" said the rebel leader unceremoniously, "so I'm going to ask you to work harder here." ＂

"Understood, I'll see what to do. Palamides sighed.

Originally, he only needed to empty this android workshop to complete the task, no matter how he could, he could always do it after a fierce battle. But now for this extra deal, the task has skyrocketed, first, he has to sneak perfectly in the workshop and not get the alarm to go off once, and secondly, he has to find the android research authority named Virgil------ knowing that Palamides doesn't even know what this man looks like, let alone where he's currently hiding.

"I'll send you the information," Preston didn't have to be a strong man, and sent a lot of information: "The encrypted file has Dr. Virgil's appearance, and there are speculations about the area where he may be active." But all this is speculation at best, not accurate, the actual situation is still up to you to judge on the spot, I trust your judgment. ＂

"Good. Intuition told Palamides that the information might not be of much use. But he finally had a general direction and knew what to do. Moreover, the area of Dr. Virgil's activity is not far from here, after all, this is the main area of the android production factory in the east wing. Anyway, let's go and see the situation first.

The Blade Monster thought so as to continue stealing as the quest prompts, moving up the stairs to the upper floor.
