For the extinct Season 1 humans, Focus is the modern combination of smartphones, tablets, home game consoles, and personal computers.

The small Focus has built-in multi-functions that Lu Xiao can't imagine, which perfectly fits and even exceeds some of his fantasies about future technology.

Just got a new toy, Lu Xiao rarely indulges in fun in the mission world when the external environment is safe.

Aleteia only restored the appearance code of the underlying program of Focus, and removed the DNA lock of the original owner, and the application originally loaded in Focus was not affected.

Not only does this miniature cutting-edge device have built-in AR technology, Lu Xiao has even found a large-scale VRMM game among many applications.

Aside from the entertainment function, the Focus is completely incomprehensible to the low-generation semi-intelligent technology products.

Whether it's a tablet, a smartphone, a personal computer, or even a smart home, a door lock, etc., the use of Focus can hack in remotely and brainlessly, and even the user does not need to make any unnecessary actions, just give orders directly.

Aside from the other gains in the future in the Zero Dawn World, just the few Focus coins you get can be said to be worth the ticket price.

At the peak of the Isu civilization, they were also able to make intelligent terminals similar to Focus, but the focus of the Isu research was not on this aspect, and the looming solar storm caused them to devote most of their research resources to how to avoid the Taba catastrophe.

Alethea also retrieved the Focus from another corpse, her eyes glittering with a faint golden light, fully dissecting the Focus's principles and inner workings.

"I probably know how human civilization perished in the first season."

Aletheia's expression was a little strange: "Humans are indeed a race that is good at making death, and they dare to use this technology of infinite energy for war machines that can act autonomously. ”

Alethea figured out why Focus had infinite energy.

"This small personal terminal has a built-in miniature power stove that absorbs bioenergy, which can maintain an infinite cycle of energy by absorbing energy from the human body."

"Look, the interface is here."

Alethea pointed to the human adsorption pin on the inside of the Focus that it used to hang on her ears: "Through this energy input interface, the Focus can absorb bioenergy from the human body to supplement its own consumption. ”

"Humans only need to eat to replenish the bioenergy sucked by Focus."

Aletheia's explanation reminded Lu Xiao of the mechanical beasts he had seen before: "No wonder they can eat plants even though they are machines, they replenish energy in this way, right?" ”

"That's right."

Alethea went on to explain: "Humans in the first season have developed technologies to convert bioenergy into usable energy. ”

"I suspect that some deadly arms dealer rushed to put this technology on a war machine without understanding the dangers."

"And these war machines get out of control for unknown reasons, and then ......"

Alethea gestured with her hands in an explosive gesture: "Bang~ Human civilization is perishing under the impact of the crazy war machine." ”

Although Yongzhen has been struggling to adapt to modern technology, the content of Lu Xiao's conversation with Alethea is clearly beyond the limits of her comprehension.

Anyway, he didn't understand, so Yongzhen simply left the two of them to discuss it slowly, turned around and began to clean up the underground shelter they had just unlocked, preparing to use this as their base in the new world.

"There's one more question."

Lu Xiao raised his question: "The number of war machines should be limited, right?" Why would the huge arsenal in the hands of humans perish so easily in the hands of robots that cannot reproduce? ”

Alethea lowered her head and muttered: "There is no clue, and there is no way to know for the time being. ”

"But I would venture to guess that today's automatons are not the same species as the war machines that destroyed humanity at the time, and in some unexpected circumstances, the war machines should have gained the ability to multiply themselves."

"Only in this way can we explain the reason why humanity lost the war, and in the face of more and more enemies, human beings who are only flesh and blood will one day exhaust the remaining population in the war."

"Think about it from that perspective."

Alethea pointed to her feet: "The purpose of this shelter is self-evident, there should be many underground ruins in the world with similar functions." ”

While Yongzhen was busy tidying up the base and arranging the portable base station brought by Altheya, Lu Xiao and Althea split up and turned the entire shelter around.

The area of the underground shelter is not too large, at least not comparable to the bustling cities that humans have built on the ground.

Depending on the number of rooms and beds, the shelter can accommodate up to a few thousand people.

Lu Xiao scanned around through his Focus along the way, and found many primeval humans who left messages or last words in the Focus.

Not every Focus is as intact as Lu Xiao and Yongzhen initially picked up.

Some of Focus's information is very well preserved, and the situation they faced at the time can be seen in the desperate tone of the commenter, and some of the information cannot be retrieved due to the damage of Focus.

"I can't remember what year it is, and I turned off the time function of Focus a long time ago."

"Looking at the time beating day by day, we can only desperately wait for the end to approach, it is better to simply not see it."

"Ted Farrow's son raised! He and his Faro company ruined everything for us! It was he who was self-righteous in equipping these weapons of war with biodynamic furnaces, which directly led to the occurrence of this catastrophe! I ......"

"Hey~"

"It's useless to say anything now, Dr. Elisabeth Sobek is leading the world's brightest scientists to work on the rescue plan in the hope that they will succeed."

"Otherwise, human civilization will end here."

"Physicist, Anthony Hogan."

Compared to other incoherent messages in despair, physicist Anthony Hogan is calm.

Although he almost lost control of his emotions at one point, as a scientist, he still controlled himself, at least he didn't explode in the process of leaving a message.

"Ted Farrow, Farrow & Co., Dr. Elizabeth Sobek, Plan to Rescue ......"

Lu Xiao subconsciously rubbed his chin, trying to extract useful information from this information.

"The runaway war machine comes from a company called Faro, and the boss of the company is called Ted, it should be a military-industrial complex, right?"

"In order to sell the most cutting-edge arms and seize the market, he equipped the war machine with a biodynamic furnace, and the AI that controls the war machine went out of control, which led to the tragedy."

"And Professor Elisabeth Sobek leads the brightest brains of all mankind to try to solve a series of problems caused by the loss of control of the machine before the worst happens."

"As a result, they failed."

"Then here's the problem."

Lu Xiao lowered her head and pondered: "Where did the human race in the second season come from?" It's not going to be a repeat of evolutionary history, is it? ”

"No, it's not."

Lu Xiao quickly denied his idea: "Most of the animals on the earth have been 'eaten' by mechanical beasts to extinction, and there is no environment for ape-man evolution at all. ”

"So, they're the spark of inheritance that humanity desperately saved in the despair of the first season?"
