Because there is no future for doing things, and there will be no point in doing so.

Although Serena is still not sure what level of application these strange robots have reached-

After all, in the past, when she watched various news, she found that the news about this was not very optimistic, and the real-world robots could not be called an alternative life to the extent that they reached the terrifying intelligence in the "Terminator" series.

Even those who barely meet the most basic requirements and can really replace human work in some aspects, such as autonomous combat or means of production, are still difficult to overcome for the time being.

But now, she has suspected that she may have come into contact with some great conspiracy, and the evil machine that appeared in front of her may be a military technology that has already broken through, but it has not been made public.

So, Serena didn't dare to take risks...... Besides, even if these clockwork robots are really just used to scare them, they are really just appearances.

The vicious militants around them are definitely not fakes! For the sake of the guys in their hands, they can't say anything so recklessly!

Don't you see that even Glinton, who was chattering just now, doesn't dare to speak out now?

The signs of things are obviously so wrong, and there are strange things everywhere, at this time, probably only real fools will continue to go their own way, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth......

I'm not afraid that someone will make up for it by themselves and end up scaring themselves. I'm afraid that some people are so stupid that they can't even make up for their brains, and they want to go to the end of life with one mind.

"Are you husband and wife? …… Well, just basic staff? Don't have any special skills or techniques? ”

Finally, it was the last two's turn, and the person in charge of certification glanced at the two with a frown, and then lowered his head to compare the roster in his hand.

Serena keenly noticed that the man next to her froze, she stepped on the other party without a trace, and then said calmly and naturally:

"Yes, we were unemployed before, and then we heard that you paid a lot of money to the basic staff, so we applied for the job......"

Of course, they both have special skills and techniques, but they have kept them under their cull as a matter of course, and they only intend to become the most basic nail, and they will screw it wherever they need it.

After all, in such a ghost place that is suspected of being the enemy's base camp, being taken seriously and then taking charge of some more important jobs is not necessarily a good thing, which will increase the risk of exposure-

When you need a plasterer who sells coolies, you won't have much of a problem finding it on the street.

But if you need a personal bodyguard who is in charge of the country's leaders, there are dozens of procedures for various audits alone.

Besides, neither of them really came here to earn a living, and it would not be good if they were really assigned to be in charge of certain positions, so it would be better to go wherever they needed to be as the most basic staff.

The degree of freedom is relatively much larger, and at least there is a chance to move between different areas without easily arousing suspicion.

The local man in charge of registration and certification did not suspect it, but just asked the two of them to press their palms on the strange device that resembled a charger, and turned to the person next to him by the way:

"This group of people should have been registered, but it seems that many of them are just ordinary workers, and senior technical personnel are still a minority......

"There's nothing wrong with this, I heard that this share ratio is the ...... made by Jeffes."

The other person said that he didn't care too much about it.

"And most of the things in the ancient city are new, and everyone doesn't understand them, so they have to learn from scratch."

"Well, that's what you're talking about, we're understaffed right now, and there are a lot of people of our clan who have been injured before, and a lot of things that could have been done can't be done...... What a damn Holy Trinity! ”

The former immediately echoed, and angrily cursed the Holy Trinity, which had been completely destroyed here.

"Damn the Holy Trinity!" The latter also agrees with this, and when he says a certain term, he also seems to grit his teeth.

……

……

After passing a hurdle without danger, Serena knew that the two of them were safe for the time being, and the next thing was to lurk patiently and wait for the opportunity.

Before walking away, she seemed to hear the two people behind her angrily say an unfamiliar term, and couldn't help but secretly write it down, intending to use it as the direction of the key clues that need to be investigated later.

Walking ahead of the group, passing the clockwork soldiers, the blonde policewoman noticed that the light from their eye sockets had returned to normal.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and took advantage of the opportunity to walk past them, and used her afterglow to quickly observe, and vaguely felt that there should be a camera inside the bird's head, used to confirm the forward and backward movements.

So is that a weakness of this evil machine?

Attacking the head should be the most effective method, and if it's on their side, it could be a dead end in their detection capabilities...... In the future, if there is a real conflict and you need to fight this kind of thing, this may be useful information.

Of course, the specific situation still needs to be really tested, and she is determined to find a good time to confirm it later.

Looking up at the overcast sky, Serena suddenly had a strange premonition, as if her fate was sealed, and the next development was likely to be as logical as she had hoped.

It's no wonder she had such an idea, purely because all this development was too unexpected-

Just like everyone else at the moment, it also changed the mind at the beginning.

They found that the job they found paid well and the benefits were super high, but the contract they signed was also very harsh, and they didn't know what they were going to do, so they scattered around with them and went around in great secrecy for a few days......

In the end, some people may really want to hide people's eyes and ears, and send the various branches and subsidiaries of the biopharmaceutical group that they said at the beginning around the world.

But most of them, including them, who signed the secret contract, ended up in the icy Siberian wilderness.

Although the remuneration is generous and the benefits are super high, it can't hide the weirdness and weirdness of this so-called "job":

Not be able to leave for any reason for at least three years; Unauthorized external contact is not allowed, whether it is writing a letter or sending an email, the content must be reviewed and approved; All orders must be obeyed; If you really want to meet your family, you can only bring your family together......

This series of extremely harsh and not at all like a joke, demanding that the rules of prohibition be enforced, made them faintly begin to feel like they were on a thief ship.

In addition, the environment here is cruel and harsh, and it is extremely cold, and it is foreseeable that it will definitely not be much enjoyable in the next three years of work, so everyone began to be dissatisfied and protest after getting off the plane and realizing it.

It's just that those heavily armed "company employees" who joined the company before them, and those terrible ruthless machines appeared......

This is much more useful than any persuasion, clarification and other verbal skills, and no one listens to their protests, and no one wants to explain to them in order to convince them—

Those guys are just helping to carry supplies reluctantly, unloading from the transport plane, and by the way, constantly protesting angrily, and erupting in waves.

Carrying automatic rifles, or hanging down sharp razor-like arms, silently appearing, watching them vent their anger and dissatisfaction, silently watching them protest.

This is much more useful than any hoarse explanation that asks everyone to be quiet, and who would dare to be a bird now?!

……

……

Serena and Grinton lined up and followed the line as they walked forward, and soon noticed a compound in front of them.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and strange electronic coils were installed on either side of the door, and there was a rotating device above it, which was emitting blue electric light.

"This is the Gate of the Gods, called the Wall of Light, and you must remember that if it is not recognized, passing through such a place will trigger the punishment of the gods and destroy it......"

The remnants who led the team explained loudly to everyone.

"You are not qualified to pass through all the walls of light now, and those that emit red light when you get close are the ones you are not allowed to pass through, and do not approach them, otherwise you will ......"

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully, not daring to wander at this time.

It sounds like some kind of fence extension technology, but it doesn't look like it's in a subway station, just blocking people from passing, and it's not too dangerous......

After entering the compound, there are very old bungalows all around, although there are some two- and three-story buildings, but there are always a few.

Everyone knew that this was probably the place to live, and suddenly the faces of many people became more miserable, but they still didn't dare to complain or anything.

Serena and the two were assigned a room because they were registered as husband and wife, and then it was their current temporary residence.

After entering the inside, Serena realized that maybe the exterior of these houses was indeed not very good, but the basic living conditions inside could still be satisfied, with hot water, heating, electrical lighting, etc.

In this harsh ice and snow wilderness, it can be said that it is very comfortable, and it seems that the actual situation is not as bad as imagined.

After carefully reading the notice posted behind the door, she was shocked to find that it was not actually using electricity, at least not directly......

Click!

Serena walked briskly over to the pitch-black metal box set up in the corner, opened its lid, and—

She discovered that what she thought was an electrical box was indeed a thick cylindrical transparent canister with a viscous liquid substance slowly bright blue.

“…… The whale oil canister is applied to such a power conversion device by means of a universal magnetic plug, and as long as the whale oil canister is placed at the socket, the magnetic force will automatically stick to the ......"

Glinton, who also noticed the notice, twitched out of the corner of his eye.

"It sounds simple, but ...... How is this possible? What the hell is whale oil, can they still catch whales in this hellish place, and develop new energy? ”

And it seems to be quite efficient and convenient, such a jar full of whale oil, it is said that the electricity generated can meet the energy consumption of at least four or five months in such a room-

This includes 24-hour heating and hot water supply, night lighting and other electrical appliances......

And the reason for this explanation is to tell them that every five months, a special person will come to replace the whale oil tank. If it is consumed in advance for some reason, what procedures do you need to go through to actively apply for related services?

But—

The two of them carefully read the entire notice, and combined with the work manual of themselves and others, they suddenly found that everything in this land seems to be built on the results of a new industrial revolution caused by a new energy source that is simply like a fantasy?

Isn't that too dreamy?

And without them knowing, the major renovation plan in Kit City is in full swing, and most of the remnants' forces have been withdrawn.

Their job is to apply the full set of Jindoshi clockwork technology to transform the entire ancient city according to local conditions.

Sirens, Arc Towers, Sound Spectrometers, Clockwork Warriors, Megaphones, Railcars, Wall of Light, Whale Oil Barrel Dispenser, Whale Oil Gas Station......

The ancient city is gradually being transformed, and it is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and each day is already a different look than the previous one.

- It is based on the original ancient Byzantine style, blooming with a peculiar light of steampunk style.
