"Buzz, buzz. "It's called a factory, but it's very different from the factory that Shul and Macageren imagined. In the imagination of the two of them, the factory is either a large number of machines constantly roaring and running, and countless workers are sweating and busy beside the machinery, or the brilliance of magic is constantly flickering, driven by crystal energy and magic power, the forged parts are finely processed and assembled into a complete machine.

But the factory in front of me was completely different, there was no metal crashing, no fluctuation of magical energy, only some large machinery that was so strange that it was completely useless to emit the beeping sound of electric current, and the center of each machine was a platform closed by transparent materials, and more than two dozen sharp devices like probes, moving slowly up and down, left and right in the transparent cover. The tip of each probe emits a strange light that clusters into a thin line, like an ice ray emitted by a mage. As the light swept by, an object in the middle of the hood was slowly taking shape, and the object was getting bigger and bigger, as if each light passing through would thicken its surface.

The finished product in each machine is different, and the manufacturing progress is also different, but it can be seen that they are producing mechanical parts, but the way of production is slightly ...... Incomprehensible.

"The whole system of printing, in line with the scientific and technological level in the record, is the large-scale industrial production method that they should have at the world's scientific and technological level. In the ear clip, Wei was explaining softly, "This production method can reduce the difference of each product to less than 1/100,000 in mass production, which is very suitable for the manufacture of basic parts, and the only drawback is that it is too slow." ”

"Slow?" the corners of Xiu'er's mouth twitched, looking at the parts that had already begun to take shape in just a few minutes, "I don't think this speed is slow, if it is made by hand, it is estimated that it will take a hundred times more time." ”

"You are a magical civilization, a bit like the level of the soul clan tens of thousands of years ago, the industrial capacity is not strong, of course you will feel fast, but in fact, this production method is not the best, if they can experience another technological revolution, it is estimated that they will be able to enter the stage of material replication, and when the time comes, they can directly copy and shape the parts, and the speed will increase by ninety-seven percent. ”

"Well, I don't understand it at all. Shuer sighed, Wei said that the world she was in had entered the era of highly developed interstellar civilization, and if it weren't for the outbreak of the threat of the Zerg, I am afraid that it would have begun to try to explore the world outside the world barrier like the metal lifeforms that provided the eternal core. But even so, Shur will not feel that Pavadiga is too different, after all, Pavatiga has the existence of true gods, those are between thoughts, they can grasp the movement of every place in the void, and they can affect the laws of the world by their will alone, they themselves are the embodiment of the rules, unless any civilization is strong enough to tamper with the laws of the world at will, otherwise they are still mortals in front of the true gods.

Huh, when did I really think of myself as a Parvatiga? Thinking of this, Shul was suddenly stunned, and continued to show a wry smile, of course, in the invisibility, no one could see his helpless expression, tsk, it seems that habit is really a terrible thing, it has only been a few years, and I am about to forget my hometown.

Shaking his head and shaking off the complicated thoughts in his head, Shul tapped a few times on the back of Macagerun beside him, and the two carefully passed through the various inexplicable machines, gradually approaching the center of the factory.

There were no guards in the factory, well, at least not on the surface, but according to Macageren's observations, there were hidden entrances and exits in many places, and once opened, a large number of metal spiders and the kind of puppet soldiers who could switch between orbs and demihumans would swarm out and overwhelm the intruders.

Of course, there are no such soldiers at the moment, and it is estimated that the defense measures will not be activated until the factory supervisor confirms that an enemy has invaded the factory through an image capture device. Now there are just scattered mechanical workers moving from shop to workshop to inspect the equipment in operation and make sure it's working properly. As for the specific work, it is all handed over to the equipment to run automatically, and the mechanical workers only need to make small adjustments.

"It's no wonder that humans in this world used to rely so much on machines, and it was really convenient. Shul sighed, this level of dependence is a mixed bag, and it is difficult for outsiders to make an evaluation.

"Chief, it's been investigated. "Macajaren has already gone around in the shadows, he and Shure have different ways of lurking, escaping into the shadows is more stealthy than stealth, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by the machine, therefore, he has taken on the main pathfinding work, "In the first few rooms, there is no such production equipment anymore, it should be something like the control room, there are mechanical golems working there, but they are all alien, only one room has human puppets existing, and ...... It is sitting. ”

"Tsk, the habits left by human beings?" The mechanical body cannot feel tired, and the sitting posture does not necessarily save energy consumption compared to the standing posture, and the only explanation is the habit of life, "Let's go, go and see." ”

The factory is divided into one room, but there are no doors between the rooms except for the door, which may be a special habit of machinery, but it is convenient for two infiltrators. The two of them lightly crossed the control rooms mentioned by Macajalen, and sure enough, the control room at the end was a large space, there were no strange control platforms or production equipment in it, only a large number of display screens hung on the walls, which showed the production status of each workshop inside the factory from different angles, even including the scene around the factory, it seems that when the previous few people wanted to enter the factory, the overseer found it in this way.

The Overseer sat in a metal swivel chair in the middle of the room, he was a humanoid puppet more than two meters tall, compared to the metal humanoids he had seen on patrol before, he was much shorter, and he was not equipped with weapons, but compared to those slightly clumsy and sluggish metal humanoids, his body was obviously much more detailed, the lines were smoother, and his facial features were more expressive, if you ignore the texture and edges, then it would not look much different from a human, at least from such a face, you can clearly distinguish the difference in appearance.

This overseer doesn't seem to care about the picture in the display screen, absent-mindedly looking at the display on one of the walls, ignoring the screens in other directions, however, Shuer doesn't feel that he can act unscrupulously outside the scope of his supervision, I'm afraid that the display device also has a certain judgment ability, and will automatically warn after finding an abnormality, if this is the case, then the two of them are likely to be discovered if they are not careful.

Record, that's the first thing Shure does.

His eyes quickly swept over each display, taking in the images that were displayed in his mind. The two of them had walked through every workshop inside the factory, and Scheuer had used his inhuman memory to memorize the structure of all the workshops, and now he only needed to compare the images with the data in his memory to confirm the position and movement angle of each image acquisition device.

It's good, it's not perfect, there are too many dead ends, and it's clear that the purpose of this set of surveillance equipment is not primarily to target intruders, but to make sure that all workshops are working properly. It's reasonable to think about it, after all, the ground is completely under the control of the mechanical camp, and the humans in this world have no stealth ability, so it is unlikely that they can sneak into the activity area of the mechanical camp from the dense monitoring and patrolling.

Observing the humanoid Overseer, Shul suddenly felt someone touching his arm, which was a warning signal from Macajalen, indicating that an unknown object was approaching, and it was clear that the halfling had spotted the other party from the shaking of the ground. Twenty seconds later, Shure himself sensed the shaking of the ground, and through the vibration, he could already imagine a heavy metal figure striding closer.

"Boom, boom", the footsteps became louder and louder, and another humanoid puppet appeared in sight, sure enough, their facial features were different, not as long as those rough humanoids before, Shul secretly estimated that these special humanoids were a reward for those believers or radicals who uploaded their self-consciousness and took the initiative to turn themselves into machines.

"What's the matter? Sure enough, it was this figure who had just given the warning, and, from one of his questions, Shul had already confirmed several questions. These humanoids definitely have the thinking of normal humans, and they are different individuals, otherwise there is no need for names at all, such things as names are only meaningful between individuals who have independence, if it is just a different branch of unified thinking, like the existence of the Zerg Queen, then the name has no meaning.

Moreover, Shull can also conclude that these people are not directly connected to the system network as expected, perhaps due to the characteristics of the human mind, they are unwilling or even afraid to share their consciousness through the system network, so they avoid direct access to the thought network, and rely on language to communicate. Well, this assertion was actually made by Wei, and Shuer didn't know the meaning of the terms shared consciousness and thinking network, but the conclusion was understandable.

"There's an order coming down from the second floor, Glens. Obviously he was in the form of a metal human, and his pronunciation was very different from that of a normal human, but Shul and Macajaren could actually hear the seriousness in his tone, "Important information, the second layer requires that it be conveyed to all overseers, and it must be conveyed in person, to ensure that every overseer actually gets the news." ”

"So important?" the overseer known as Glens was stunned, "What information?"

"The second floor said that there were guests coming down from above. The Xilin figure pointed upward, "Two batches." ”

"New again?" said the Glens figure quickly lost interest, "This kind of thing doesn't need to be so serious. ”

"Only one group is new. Xilin's humanoid emphasized solemnly, "Note that the other group is 'guests', very special guests." ”

Damn, the message leaked.
