Chapter 7: Boarding a Thief Ship by Mistake

"It's still idle, so take this opportunity to charge the second set of coils."

"The machine has re-executed the instruction set in its entirety."

"Machines can't give definite results."

…………

The muffled voice was genderless, and every once in a while, it would emanate from the miniature sound spectrometer inside the Clockwork Warrior's body.

It's just that they are all said to be "miniature" spectrometers, so what they can say is actually very limited, basically some kind of hint and explanation about the current state of the machine-

From idle to wake-up......

From alert to attack......

Even the stage after killing the target, the stage of pursuing and attacking, and the stage of damage and destruction are explained by corresponding prompts.

Due to the complexity of the internal mechanics of the Clockwork Warrior, it can only be played in such a loop through pre-recorded dialogue, which is used to alert the owner and your own units.

Even if the damage is too severe and the machine is in an unstable state, it may explode at any time......

Once such an out-of-control situation is detected, there will also be a corresponding prompt to alert nearby people or other machines.

While this might help the enemy escape, it's better than inexplicably killing more units on your side, right?

…… Moreover, in order to recoup the funds in the first place, the Clockwork Warrior was a guard template specially designed for those nobles and merchants.

- He always has to think about the terrible consequences of those powerful guys if they are killed by their own machines one after another.

So, it's normal to have such a design.

And at this time, the design of the clockwork warrior can also effectively deter a large number of people who feel as if they have been pitted, so that they will automatically consciously abide by discipline and dare not make mistakes.

To achieve this, even the recording of the Clockwork Warriors was re-recorded, not in the language of the Shameful World, but in English that these guys could understand.

“……”

“……”

There was silence, except for the mechanical prompts that kept repeating themselves.

I couldn't hear the specific gender, there was a cold mechanical feeling, just to go to that station, a kind of impersonal and terrifying aura emanated, as if it was much colder than this icy and snowy environment.

Coupled with the bird-headed humanoids, the evil shape design with blades as arms, which was constantly swept by the red light emitted from their hollow eye sockets, even people with good psychological quality sincerely felt a sense of oppression.

No one will doubt that this evil machine is not a ruthless killer.

No one will think that they are really making trouble, they will be warm and open to themselves.

In addition, those guys who are said to be seniors and overseers, one by two, are fully armed, carrying automatic rifles on their backs is only the basic standard, and there are even heavy machine guns in the surrounding high walls, watchtowers and other places.

I don't understand at all, whether I came to a new company to prepare for work, or what secret battlefield I came to prepare for war......

Therefore, everyone was surprisingly obedient and quiet, and honestly did what the seniors and the local overseers asked them to do, in an orderly and neat manner.

- Let the east never go west! Let the dog never pick the chicken!

I can't see at all that everyone is still complaining and angry just now, and there are constantly complaining, and some people are even dissatisfied with the trend of protesting and preparing to gather to make trouble......

This is not to say that they are all dissipated and convinced, they can only say that everyone is not stupid, and after finding out that something is wrong, they decisively chose to shrink their heads first and be people.

It would be nice if someone else tried the law and helped them see what the consequences of adopting a confrontational attitude would be...... If they have the chance, they certainly don't mind taking it.

But if you want to gamble on your own and touch your head, then you're embarrassed, let's wait and see what happens, don't be so reckless.

……

……

The sky is icy and snowy, and the sky is overcast.

Soviet facilities that had been abandoned were revitalized, and after Trinity renovated many facilities and buildings, many places were able to be reopened, both for work and for people.

- Of course, the conditions are not too good, and it can only be said that the basic requirements can be met.

After the Holy Trinity was completely wiped out in the local army, it was simply unceremoniously used by the remnants, which could be used as a peripheral base for the geothermal valley, and it could also take into account the requirements of production and resource collection, and be self-sufficient.

While it still needs to be completely renovated and rebuilt to fully activate the site of this huge Soviet facility, it is much easier to at least have the foundation there than to build a base from scratch in this terrible frozen soil.

At the same time, it was also used to receive the skilled workers who had been abducted and tricked by the local people, and the local remnants would not easily let them enter the hidden geothermal valley, let alone enter Kit City, which was considered a sacred place.

"This group of people has been arranged, right?"

Sophia was looking at the open space from a tower in the distance, and there were already several large containers piled up next to the transport plane, all of which were the supplies they desperately needed.

However, just one batch is not enough, just like those so-called "skilled immigrants", there will be three or four more batches to be transported in succession to inject fresh blood into the power of the Lost City.

If it weren't for the fear that the action would be too big and easy to cause unnecessary attention and trouble in the early stage, this matter could even be carried out for a long time...... After all, they are poor, and nothing is too much.

"It's all arranged, as long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary, then the puppet warriors of the gods won't hurt them...... However, they can't get through the gate of the gods, and they can't get close to the shrines of the gods......"

On the tower, a bearded remnant general answered Sophia's question with a serious face, and his tone was full of unconcealed fanaticism.

“……”

Sophia blinked, nodded thoughtfully after listening, and didn't say anything.

Of course, she knew that the so-called "puppet warriors of the gods" were various versions of the third-generation clockwork machine. And the "Gate of the Gods" is actually a light curtain generator, and as for the "Shrine", it is more intuitive, but it is just a deadly weapon like the Arc Light Tower......

It's just that Sophia doesn't think there's anything wrong with what the remnant general said, and she also thinks that that kind of statement is more appropriate.

After all, they are all "remnants" in the final analysis, and they can only be said to be somewhat compatible with modern people's cognition, but most of them are incompatible...... There is nothing wrong with saying that they are ancients who are independent and isolated from the world because of their faith.

When confronted with the "gods" they believe in and follow, and the "divine graces" they bestow, of course, it is impossible to say that they treat them with any scientific vision and attitude, and they will use their own theories to explain the "power of the gods......

Although it is said that from now on, these remnants will begin to embrace the outside world, but in the end, it will not be effective so soon.

Moreover, even if it did, it would never be a purely civilized new society, but only the product of a peculiar worldview based on steampunk technology, which combined science and theology.

"In that case, the investigation of them will continue until the third group arrives, and the ancient city is especially short of manpower now......"

Sophia thought for a moment, then made a decision. As Jacob's daughter, her leadership was naturally justified.

"At present, there is no shortage of materials and whale oil given by the gods, but we are understaffed and not skilled enough, the number of puppet warriors of the gods has not been able to rise, and so are the shrines, we need more manpower."

The remnant general hesitated slightly:

"But, Lord Sophia, in that case, we may not be able to confirm whether these people are really credible......

"It doesn't matter, they have to be credible ......"

Sophia said lightly, with a hint of heroism and decisiveness between her eyebrows.

"Besides, they can't cause any trouble under our watchful eye and the gaze of the gods."

The remnant general thought about it, and then felt that it seemed to be the same truth.

As soon as those guys do something out of the ordinary, the clockwork warriors will immediately respond-

As long as whale oil is available, they can work all the time without food or rest. Extremely dexterous, fast, equipped with a bladed arm and capable of releasing electricity, it is an absolute nightmare for anyone.

In addition, it is not only the clockwork soldiers who patrol and guard, but the surrounding compatriots are unlikely to show mercy once they find a problem.

If this group of people really dared to make trouble, even if they worked together and doubled their number, it would not be enough time for them to unilaterally slaughter for three minutes.

As for if this group of guys really has ulterior motives, they don't choose to openly confront, but just commit espionage or something, they are also not afraid. Their current authentication status is only the most rudimentary-

Only allow Clockwork Warriors to register them as their own units when they are in order.

However, if you do something that violates the rules and is discovered, you will be marked as an enemy unit......

Initially, the Clockwork Warrior will choose to capture them alive and use electricity to temporarily stun enemies, but if the resistance is too strong, they will directly attack to death.

And the "permission" of these people is also not enough to let them pass through some of the light curtain generators that must be passed, and many secret places and buildings are also set up with the ferocious radial blockade device of the arc tower-

Once they enter the forbidden range, they will also be bombarded in the next second.

You can't get into a secret place, and if you want to escape, you can't escape either, after all, not everyone is Miss Crawford.

When I went to the cruel and cold environment of the icy and snowy outside, I couldn't find the direction, the road, the transportation, and the food, and even the means of calling for help were abandoned in such a vast and sparsely populated place......

Even if this group managed to escape, even if they didn't encounter the Siberian wolves or brown bears everywhere, how long would they be able to survive in the harsh freezing environment?

An hour? Or two hours?

……

……

Serena dragged her ex-husband to the end of the line, carefully observing what legal identification was registered by the person in front of her.

The local in charge of the registration appeared to be holding a strange device that resembled some kind of charger and asked everyone to line up and put a hand on the device in front of him.

It's as simple as that, and it seems that the so-called "certification" has been completed directly -

She watched carefully, and noticed that those who had completed the "certification" would turn into a green glow that seemed to be safe to pass through as they walked past the evil-looking machines.

Although it is said that after those people pass, the light in their eyes will change back to the red warning color, and continue to stare coldly at the people on their side who have not completed the "certification".

She thought that maybe her initial conjecture seemed to be right, so she didn't say much.

just honestly dragged his ex-husband in line together, ready to register his identity.
