"Bang-" "Bang-"

In the midst of a wave-like bump, Nobita slowly opened his eyes.

He found himself in a large cube container measuring 1,000 cubic meters, with four walls made of alloy and a dull blue. Alain Tse was standing next to him, and from this vantage point he could see that his steel-made feet were also marked by many signs of wear...... A few meters away, a large mech, facing away from him, seemed to be operating something on an electronic screen on the wall. But soon, as if sensing something, the huge translucent robot suddenly stopped what it was doing, turned around, and stared at Nobita with its ice-blue optical glasses.

"You're awake." Agnes briefly said, "Welcome to the home civilization of the Kara Nebula, the Kara Star. Mr. Nobita, thanks to the help of our civilized leader: Hilda A. Ms. N. Cara extends an invitation to you and Mr. Alan Thur that the outer defenses of the Planetary Shield will be temporarily opened for both of you from now on. It is expected that in fifteen minutes we will be at Ms. Hilda's mansion, where you will be able to have an in-depth conversation with her. ”

His tone and demeanor were the same as usual, making Nobita wonder if the battle just now was his imagination...... But the aches and pains in his body reminded him that this was not the case.

Fang Cai's sworn enemy suddenly became so polite, which made him feel very strange. But since he really had a ghost in his heart, he didn't dare to ask Agnes about topics like "why did you attack me just now", what if he really said that he had detected Yu Feiyan, but it seemed too strange to ask nothing...... After thinking about it, Nobita still asked a compromise question.

"I remember ruining you."

"I can't be destroyed." Agnes replied in a calm tone, "This is not a secret in Unilink, so I can answer you head-on...... Just now, you destroyed only my shell. And I have an infinite number of shells, and if this one is broken, I can go to the next one, and the next one will be broken, and there will be the next one...... It's not hard for me to work with a six-figure shell at the same time. ”

"Agnes is not just a piece of code, an AI, he is a kind of 'consciousness collection'. The scientists of Kara inscribed the swarm consciousness on the positron circuit and transcoded it, eventually forming a new will called 'mirror', which is the true face of Agnes. "In large-scale cosmic warfare, Agnes is able to play his role, such as scattering the speed of light by himself, forming a low-vacuum trap...... Borrow the body of a puppet to fight you, but it's just a small fight. ”

"Oh......" Nobita narrowed his eyes a little weakly, cautiously tentatively, "So, the conflict that just happened...... Can you give me an explanation? ”

"I am not in a position to explain anything to you, and if I have any doubts, I can raise them with Ms. Hilda at a later meeting. At the moment, she is the only active individual on the planet, and she is the only one who can answer your questions. After saying this, Agnes turned his body back and continued to tap on the electronic screen, as if he was not ready to communicate with Nobita.

It was only then that Nobita realized that he was on a huge elevator, surrounded by translucent solid layers of ice! They are traversing the eight-thousand-meter-thick planetary shield and heading to the interior of Kara. The world within the walls was about to unfold in front of him.

————

"Boom ————!!"

The space elevator finally completed the 8,000-meter journey and rushed out of the tunnel mouth, and the pre-set orbit began to change, slowing down the entire elevator and allowing Nobita to better observe the reality of Kara.

The light here is very dim...... Because the planetary shield is inverted to the planet, and the stars of the galaxy eat a Sabbath, resulting in insufficient hydrogen-helium fusion, the sun's light energy cannot penetrate the planetary shield at all. Theoretically, the whole planet should be in perpetual darkness. But the good news is that there is still some infrastructure in operation, and the city below is able to shed a little light...... But this light is ice blue, very soft, very dim, not at all neon, red and green, but like fireflies locked in a glass bottle.

The city is lined with high-rise buildings, like giant ice sculptures.

Be quiet.

Deathly silence.

A beam of light fell from the top, like a milky white galaxy.

In the tea ceremony, a kind of tranquility is also mentioned...... It is a kind of tranquility that blends in with the surrounding scenery, and it is a peace of mind. But the city below is different! There was no human shadow in the whole city, no human voice, not even the sound of animals. The city itself was quiet, and there was not a single sound coming out, as if it had fallen into some kind of long sleep that would never wake up. It is no exaggeration to say that the "clang" sound of the space elevator gliding in orbit is already the only sound around, so it is also terrifying...... The sound echoed over the city with an inexplicable sense of loneliness that reminded Nobita of whales.

Whales use sound waves to communicate...... In the depths of the lonely ocean, they emit their own sound waves, allowing the vibrations to be transmitted along the current. But there is a whale that chirps at a different frequency than other whales, so it is destined to wander alone in the icy waters, never able to communicate with its own group, and the sound waves emitted will not be echoed by other whales...... Large whales are a solitary race, but in this way, this unique whale is the loneliest whale in the world.

Kara Star is like this stranded whale.

It can't communicate with anyone anymore......

The planetary shield here and the steel dome on Sethol are not the same level, one is a net and the other is a wall. At this time, Nobita looked up, and the heavy wall was moving away from him little by little. He found that the innermost side of the planetary shield glowed, with faint fluorescence flowing slowly on the large wall that could be called a work of art, outlining hexagons connected together, and from below, the inner side of the planetary shield looked like a giant beehive.

The sturdiness of the hexagon is undeniable, and many civilizations like to use this pattern as a symbol of "defense", and the star Kara is no different...... Perhaps, when they look up at the sky, they will feel a sense of security when they see such a honeycomb pattern all over the sky? Nobita doesn't know.

……

While he was looking around, the space elevator had completed its secondary deceleration and reverse jetting, and began to merge towards the landing site in the center of the city. Looking at the city, there are actually many stout "cables" that exist as space elevator tracks, but they are all stationary, and the surface seems to be covered with a thick layer of frost, and they don't even shake for a moment...... It seems that it has been a long, long time since anyone has visited the interior of Kara.

Entering the city, Nobita felt a biting chill, as if entering a giant's ice sculpture vault. The Kara people have a unique aesthetic for architecture, and the planning is very different from the earthlings...... Since joining the Yulian and becoming a veteran, the status of the Kara Nebula in the pan-civilization circle has surged, and the management planets in the jurisdiction have more or less preferential policies for the Kara people. Perhaps it is because of this that most of the residents of the mother civilization have moved away, anyway, as long as you have a Karaxing identity certificate, there will be people who will talk to you wherever you go, whether it is to find a job, start a business, or simply to support the elderly. As a result, the aspiring and motivated people are gone, and the Kara star left behind is very empty, lifeless, and gradually sparsely populated......

Land is the most scarce place on the planet, and no one wants to live in a dreary and oppressive building like an apartment. The government divides the territory unifiedly, at least to ensure that each family stands in their own territory and cannot see buildings other than their own territory in sight. As for the issue of accessibility...... With such a highly developed civilization, space jumps are not a problem, and there is no need to worry. It's better to say that the Karaxing people are very suitable for this kind of life, absolute comfort, absolute freedom, and do whatever they want within their territory. In each family's "territory", there will be a pendulum-shaped oversized building, which is the "beacon" in the area.

The space elevator eventually touched the ground, making a dull sound, without the slightest feeling of heavy pressure after acceleration, as smooth as reversing into some high-end parking lot...... Through the sealed window, Nobita could see that there were many space elevators of the same size in the next cabin, but their outer walls were so clean that they looked like someone had cleaned them regularly.

"Aside from the lady Hilda you said, isn't there anyone on this planet anymore?"

"Yes." Agnes replied.

"Yes...... I think this big airport is still operating. Nobita pointed to the flickering signal lights in the distance, as well as the large robotic arm at the foot of the space elevator that was responsible for connecting to the land, "There is no sign of aging of the equipment, is this also what you are managing?" ”

"At this stage, it is not me who is responsible for managing the infrastructure of Kara, but Noah, an ultra-high-performance white dwarf lattice artificial intelligence developed by the scientific research team fifty years ago. He also controls the 'dreams' that connect all citizens, using his powerful computing power to create the dreams they want, and the redundant computing power that is used to manipulate the rest of the facilities throughout Kara. Since the whole planet has entered a state of low energy consumption, it does not need to do much, nothing more than regularly arrange robots to repair some damaged facilities...... I am in charge of the external planetary defense. ”

One outside the main and one inside the main, the division of labor is quite clear.

"I probably understand...... Nobita nodded thoughtfully, thinking of some situations on Earth, he turned around and asked, "Mr. Alain, this question may be presumptuous, can you forgive me......"

"You ask."

"In your previous civilization......" Nobita carefully considered the wording, not wanting to hurt Alain Thur with the obvious unbearable memories, "what do robots like you do in general?" Why did you become a gladiator? ”

"We ...... From the very beginning, it was made with only one purpose other than to liberate the productive forces of mankind - and that was for the pleasure of mankind. Alain Tser's voice didn't fluctuate in the slightest, and now he seemed strong enough to ignore the pain he had endured in the past, which was a kind of tenacity and strength, "I've been a gladiator since I was born, but they made a mistake in producing me...... In my positive mind, there is a line of sequence code that is written incorrectly, all 0's become 1, and 1 becomes 0, which causes everything to be reversed. Based on this, I managed to acquire something that other robots didn't have - souls. Nobita, the soul makes me strong, the soul makes me free. I have the ability to rebel against what is engraved in my head, this ...... That's what makes me stronger than my peers. ”

At this, Alain Se glanced at Agnes and tilted his head, but Nobita clearly saw pity in this small gesture.

The mercy of the free puppet to the marionette.
