APE Operational Command Center.

Seven men dressed in white robes, trimmed with gold and red stripes sit in their seats, enclosing a holographic projection in the center. They are different in height, shortness, fat and thinness, and if you look closely, you will find that even this so-called "Phnom Penh" has a big difference, and the patterns are distinguished in subtle ways. Without exception, they all wore a rather retro mask on their faces, as if they had come out of the era of the Phantom of the Opera, and coupled with the extreme dress of this god, it gave people a strange sense of comics...... And these people are the "fathers" that the children miss in their hearts.

In this era, the APE firmly controls every move of the earth, and the "Seven Sages" composed of the seven of them are the lifeblood of the government, and it can be said that everything in the fortress city is managed by them.

Next to the round table, there is also a small chair, which is considered to be a sitting room. On the seat sat an old doctor, dressed in a loose white coat, but inside he was dressed in a suit, white gloves, and carrying a heavy cane of blue and black. Most of the old doctor's face is made of machinery, as if because the original body is "in disrepair", and out of some strange robot geek plot, he underwent a major overhaul of his body, replacing almost all the parts that can be replaced with machines. These include the right side of his face, right eye, jaw, and an arm......

One robot freak, seven masked freaks, make up the highest center of power in the APE.

But no one has ever underestimated the old doctor.

His name is Werner Franks, and he is the inventor of the Franks mecha.

At this moment, Werner sat hunched in his exclusive seat, watching a live video play on the electronic screen surrounded by the sages. In the space of fifteen minutes, the footage had been played back and forth more than five times, and Werner could even assure everyone who was doing it had every detail engraved in their minds, but there was no intention of stopping. The seven masked faces stared at him in unison, from the moment he entered the door until now, the prickly gaze had not stopped. The lobby is filled with the ominous atmosphere of mountain rain coming.

These seven people can do everything......

……

"Dr. Werner, we invite you to come today, and it is the 'APE Chief Scientific Advisor' Werner, not the 'Father of the Franks Mecha' Werner." The chairman's tone was a little unkind from the beginning, "I hope you can handle this commotion for us as a scientist...... Make some sound suggestions. ”

He tapped on the table and pointed to the stereoscopic images that were playing, captured by the recorder on the Franks mech.

In the video, it is just placed in Nobita flying away and showing his skills, and the thunder in the air is like a python crossing the border, mighty and mighty, splitting a huge dragon screaming and screaming. The image itself is very blurry, mixed with pure digit untimely exclamations and exclamations, which is really chaotic.

Werner was about to break out in a cold sweat.

"I'm a scientist, but scientists aren't omnipotent! How do I explain this kind of thing that clearly violates scientific theorems?! He shouted frantically in his heart, but in the face of the seven sages' sense of oppression, the old doctor still didn't say these words.

“…… There is no information now, and I may not know more than you. He let out a long sigh, looked at the seven strange masks, and said, "It's a pity, but there is so little information about this person. He...... His powers seem supernatural, and if they do, it means that our scientific research so far has gone astray, or is simply completely wrong, and everything must be reversed. This cost...... We may not be able to afford it. ”

"That's something you should think about, not mine." The vice-president said in a sinister tone, his tone full of disdain for Werner, "The APE has asked you to be the chief scientific adviser precisely because you want you to play a role at such a time. ”

"Huh...... You really don't understand scientific research at all. When it was time to be tough, Werner also stiffened, "Do you know what it is to reinvent a scientific theory?" It means that our understanding of physics may be completely wrong, and it means that we are going further and further on the basis of mistakes...... It's like a time bomb buried in civilization, and it doesn't know when it will explode! If studying this outsider would have such horrific consequences, I'd rather stay put. ”

Do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

"You...... There is a term called corpse vegetarian meal, which matches you now. ”

The vice-chairman seemed to want to get up and reprimand him, but the chairman waved his hand and didn't say a word, so he had to sit down again.

"Dr. Werner, we don't mean to force you to do anything." The chairman said in a deep voice, playing a game of red face and white face, "I don't know why you are so timid. You didn't seem to be the one when you developed the Franks mech and researched the Bionic Weapon 002. At that time, every breath you took was filled with the search and desire for science. Now that a brand new topic is in front of you, through research, we may break through the current level of science and technology and reach a higher level...... Why are you stopping here? ”

The seven masks turned around at the same time, their hollow eyes glowing with a creepy light.

The doctor squeezed his crutches hard, stood up tremblingly, and sighed, "No, it's not the same ......"

"Whether it's 002 or Franks, it's all based on my predecessors, like stacking building blocks, stacking as high as possible. I was lucky enough to pick up a few big bricks that were just the right shape to fit together, and that's it. Werner muttered to himself, "But this guy isn't a block, he's a lit match." If you have to put it in the middle layer of the building blocks, it can only be ...... in the end We were burned to ashes! ”

————

02 hugged the pillow and yawned back to her room, while Nobita continued to sit upright in his chair and think about things with his eyes closed.

The news he got from 02 can't be said to be comprehensive, and it may be mixed with the girl's private emotions, but for him now, this is the only way to understand the world. APE, Sage, Dragon, Franks Mecha's Pilot Connection Matching Device, Mistletoe's "Talent Selection Mechanism", and Dead Fortress City...... These clues flew through my mind one by one, gradually piecing together the truth of this world.

"Adults of this world...... Have you fallen into the 'Age of Sleep'? Nobita said to himself, "The current situation of the city described by Fang Cai 02 forced me to think like this - almost everyone sleeps in a dormant chamber and directly ingests 'happy' ...... by direct injections of sleeping agents and serotonin (a hormone that stimulates the brain to produce pleasure)"

"It seems that the era of nihilism and sleep is really an insurmountable mountain in the development of advanced civilizations."

Nobita frowned tightly, his fingers tapping regularly on the table, and he didn't sleep all night.

Estimating that it was almost time to dawn, Nobita pushed open the door and walked out slowly.

Before coming here, he had developed the habit of waking up early and couldn't sleep as soon as it was dawn.

Disgust is disgust, but Nobita has to admit that those "dads" are quite concerned about the construction of mistletoe, at least they don't let the children live in that kind of dark place. Beyond the elegant dormitory, there is a lush back garden with a few clean gravel paths, which is particularly comfortable to walk on. The backyard is more spacious than the frontyard, covered with a soft layer of turf, and although there are not many trees, all kinds of greenery are all over the view, mostly creepers. At least compared to the parched earth outside the mistletoe, this small garden is already full of life.

The more this happened, the more Nobita secretly annoyed.

If you want to do it, you can make a beautiful and delicate back garden like mistletoe, so why let the earth become such a ghost? The natural landscape of a huge earth is no better than a small garden, and if you want to destroy it like this, you really picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelons!

The old-school environmentalist hugged his arms and sighed in mourning. Moments before his soul was actually projected, Nobita was able to get a glimpse of the planet due to the rupture of the Rainbow Bridge...... From a space perspective, vegetation coverage is almost nil, the ocean has shrunk dramatically, and the atmosphere has become sparse and unshaped. Seeing the earth of a parallel world become this virtuous, Nobita's mood was naturally a little heavy

"Hiding in this small man-made city and pretending that nothing has happened, are you satisfied......

Keep going.

A small glass room comes into view.

Nobita's eyes lit up, and he saw the back of a young girl busy in the flower room, carrying an extremely old shower, watering all kinds of flowers. The rusty shower seemed to have leaked from the bottom, and from time to time water would spill from the bottom, and the girl had to lift it up with a snort, and her two white arms, which were not strong, could not stop trembling. She spun busily around the flower room like a spinning top to make sure that all kinds of flowers were evenly wet.

Her long flaxen-colored ponytail rested on her right shoulder, sweat drenching her thin shirt, revealing her seductive posture like a ripe pomegranate.

Da Ambition's mind moved, and his mental power quickly extended out, lifting the heavy shower from the girl's hand, flying slowly in mid-air, sprinkling water on all kinds of plants. The fine droplets of water "roar" down from the sky, like a pocket rain, splashing a little bit of colorful light.

"Huh?" The girl was startled by this vision and turned around in a hurry.

"It's best not to wear such thin clothes after sweating." Nobita didn't know when he walked into this small garden, "When the wind blows, it's easy to catch a cold." ”

"Thank you......" A person appeared behind him coldly, his heart was startled at first, and then he patted his chest, and it was a turbulent wave. She took the shirt that was on the flower stand, put it on her body with her hands and feet, and hurriedly buttoned it, and some of them were even crooked, in short, she showed nervousness between her gestures. The heart is relatively soft and glutinous, and at this moment, facing the unfathomable mysterious person alone, it is inevitable that he has no confidence, and he is only resigned.

Nobita doesn't care either.

After so much experience, Nobita now has a faint bit of youthful and old spirit, which can be seen from the standing posture alone: his hands do not fall naturally, but are turned behind his back, like a cadre with an old god in there. The little vigilant posture of the heart fell in his eyes, and it didn't stir up any waves.

"Do you like flowers?" Nobita smiled kindly, as if a gentle elder was comforting the junior, "This small garden is very well maintained. ”

After spilling all the water, the clumsy shower flew back into the heart's hand.

"Why not get a new one? This shower is broken. ”

“…… That's all there is to it. Xin secretly glanced at Nobita, and saw that he looked as usual and smiled, and finally relaxed his shoulders that had been tense, "This kind of thing is not a necessity of life, and I am embarrassed to ask my fathers for it." I found it in an old warehouse with great difficulty, so I will use it. ”

Nobita smiled, surprisingly not refuting her, but the feeling of defeating the fathers in his heart became stronger.

At the end of the day, the remaining children finally yawned and walked out and gathered in the dining room on the first floor for breakfast.

Nominally, a child who can be officially selected as a driver means that they have passed the first wave of "screening", and all the skills that should be taught are taught in the first screening, and there is no need for any physical training. If there are no dragons nearby, they can live in the mistletoe all the time, and live a casual and comfortable life, but there is nothing to do. Children are humanoid weapons in the eyes of their fathers, and feeding and dressing them are indispensable for the necessary maintenance of weapons, as for entertainment, education, mental relaxation, and so on...... It is not destined to be possible.

They were kept in mistletoe and boiled like eagles. Whenever prey appears, these fledgling eaglets are released to bite the prey with their less sharp claws. The point is that the identities of the prey and the falcon are sometimes reversed, and if the times are bad, these eaglets will be grabbed by the prey on the wings and torn apart alive. They just live day after day, with a little respect and longing for their fathers, hoping that they can become adults in the future, live in a fortress city, and live that kind of life......

However, no child ever becomes an adult.

Even if they hadn't died at the hands of the dragon, the yellow blood cells would have killed them in the end.

Nobita saw them happily eating a fairly delicate breakfast, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart - such a small favor bought your life, what a good calculation! But he didn't blame the children for not being long-sighted, and it wasn't their fault. Now, when you get to their headquarters, you'll smash the wishful thinking of these guys with one fist!

Thinking of this, Nobita unceremoniously forked a piece of steak with a fork, put it in his mouth and chewed it heavily, letting the delicious taste dance on the tip of his tongue.

"How's it going, Nobita? The food here is good, isn't it? He dipped a piece of bread in honey and smeared it on the plate, and said, "How does it compare to your hometown?" ”

"Indeed...... Not bad. Nobita said gently, and a few bright lights flashed in his black eyes from time to time.
